Der by nearly thousand that it ever

the Sioux City census and the Sioux

dian lands are not open to settlement,
are not eubject to taxation, and remain
under the exclusive iurisdictIoE Of the
United States, the area OF Dakota upon
which tie state government can operate
is reduced to seventy million Hcres--a
less area than that OF the state of Ne
brasks. The climate in the extreme
northern portion OF the territory, and
the character OF the lands west of the
Missouri river are such as to preclude
the possibility of dense population In
these regions hereafter. III, however, at
any time in the future the Indian titles
should become extinguished and the
population should become 80 great as
to make single state government un-
wieldy, congress may, at the request and
with the consent OF the state, provide
for it's division into two or more states.
But with the present population, which
is but little over one third OF the average
population OF the existing states in the
union, and with so large an area CON-,
prised with Indian reservations. end
other large areas very Hparsely settled,
there is no imperative reason for divi-
ding the territory.-Spriager's report.
1t is not population that renders i'm.
portant the division of Dakota into two
states-bnt excess OF area. If the pres
ent population Of DAKOTA was drawn
into the narrow confines OF q state, say
like Rhode Island, there would be no
demand for division. And Dakota's In
dian reservations create area, though
they do not create dense population.
They furnish so many thousand square
miles to be crossed and circumycnted In
the process of political lintereommun

tanoe to be overcome, whether they are
populeted or not. The political gather
ings OF state are the seed beds of it's
government. and if the people Of state
cannot assemble their representatives at
common rallying points during seasons
of political planting the harvest will
bring them the fruits OF corruption and
the products of ring rule. Instead OF
representative gatherings the
thrifty politicians assemble and

The Terrible Danger Which Threatens the
Peace OF the Country.
Every step of the Republican cam
paign was marked by fraud, bribery
and corruption. In the manufacture
ing States it was also a cam
paign of the meanest and most
brutal intimidation. The men who
have been made enormously wealthy
by taxes levied on the people
threatened their employees with cuts in
wages lin repeated instances even dis
charging them for advocating the re-
duction of taxes.
With this record unrepented of and
not even denied, the Republican party
is gathering its forces for the Infamous
work of destroying the new found pros
perity of the Southern States and re-
newing the infamies of reconstruction.
1t is the cold-blooded plan of con-
scienceless political schemers who are
willing to sacrifice the peace and pros
perity of the country to extend their
lease of power. They know that they
will be driven out on the tariff issue;
they know that they are not in posi-
ton to prevent it by making any real
reduction of tariff taxation, and they
propose therefore to once more create

THE PRESIDENT PAID 1T.
"A Little Child's Appeal Reaches a Tender

"A Little Child's Appeal Reaches Tender
and Generous Heart.
President Cleveland's kindness of
heart for the young is seen in the story
that is told here. There is little girl
in Brooklyn who had the misfortune
to get into debt to the Youths Conapan-
ION. She had a leniept creditor, how
ever, and, though she had not paid her
subscription for about two years, the
Companion was sent to her regularly
and no complaints made. In the ordi-
nary course of Office business list of
arrearages was placed in the hands of
the papers attorney. A very formal
circular was sent to the little girl and
it frightened her quite out of her wits.
People with much older heads have
been known to do very desperate
things under similar circumstances,
but this child sent an appeal to the
President of the United States. It was
a straightforward, childish letter.
The sincerity went straight to the
Presidents heart. She said she had
heard he was kind to little girls, but if
she had made a mistake in writing to
him, she hoped he wouldn't be cross.
''She may be the wife of a future
President" said Mr.. Cleveland, smil-
ing at the little girl letter. Inclosing
five-dollar note in a letter he sent it
to the publishers in Boston. with re-
quest that the remainder (for the bill
was less than that) be put down to the
little girls credit for future subscrip-
tions. He also wrote the child very
pretty little note, telling her that it
was pleasure to him to relieve her
distress. Letter.

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
Two Lovers Meet and Wed in the Autumn
aud Twilight OF Their Lives.

Two Lovers Meet and Wed in the Autumn
and Twilight OF Their Lives.
Two people were married the other
evening. One of the parties was
lady, and the other a gentleman.
They were not married in Lincoln, but
the scene of the event was not very,
very far removed. And it is curious
story. and true one. The bride is
tall and stately, but she is no longer in
the bloom of youth. Gray hairs float
backward from her forehead, and she
has seen many and many winter.
The bridegroom is old and bald, and
before a great while he will be gath
cred to his fathers. Years and years
ago, before some of us who now wear
whiskers were born, these two loved
each other in a kingdom down by the
sea. And to quote further from Anna
bel Lee, it might be said that the an
gels in Heaven envied their love. But
they had quarrel. Years ago, when
she was girl and he was in the first
flush of manhood, they had a quarrel
And he went away in senseless anger;
and she approved his going in senseless
anger; and the memorable years
rolled on, as the years inexorably
will roll. He came not back again.
She married youth of the neighbor-
hood. and lived wretched life; he,
leagues. leagues away, married
strange woman, and lived a wretched
life, amt the years rolled inexorably
on. And it came to pass IN the fulness
of time that his wife died, and al
though his hair was gray and his
heart old, he was filed with an inef-
fable longing to see once more the love
of his youth, so he journeyed to her.
And it was SO that her husband had
died and she was q widow, and she,
too, was gray-haired. And then, in
the twilight and autumn of their
lives, in the graveyard of their hopes,
they agreed to marry each other. So
they were married. The scene was
not in Lincoln, but it was not very,
very far away. But their love will
last until the shadows thicken and the
sun goes down.-Lincots (Ne6. Jour-

A SHAMMiNG WOMAN.
How She Puzzled the Medical Directors0f
Insane Asylum.

How She Puzzled the Medical Directors0f
an Insane Asylum.
The most remarkable case of sham
ming that / ever heard of was that of
a woman who was sent to the insane
asylum a few years ago. She was adj
mitted as a person afflicted with sui
cidal mania, and was placed in my
ward. She had been very prominent
before the public by reason Of her sew
eral attempts to take her own life, and
when she came into the institution
she, of course, became an interesting
study. On her first attempt the case
was put down as lead-poisoning, and
she was taken into the family of a
physician, where she made friends
of all and became as one of the
circle. She was we'll educated,
refined and of very fasci-
mating appearance and sweet DISPOSE
ton, making friends on all sides. She
remained with this family some time,
making several other attempts at self
destruction, finally one that was
rather sensational, and to relieve her
from which she was carried into u
drug store and q prominent physician
called. The stomach pump was used
to good effect and her life was saved.
1t was after this that she was sent to
the asylum for treatment. She had
complete knowledge of lead poisoning
and it's effects, and though. every test
to be thought of, even to sticking
needles in her flesh, was applied, she
baffled them all. There was one test
still untried, however, and though it
is one not common among physicians,
she knew of it, and as she saw her
danger, very carefully prevented
giving any opportunity to try it.
The more I studied the case the
more firmly I became convinced
she was fraud. One day stuck
small knife blade into her limb, hop
ing to break her nerve, but she did not
finch in the least. Finally, one night
during the heat and excitement of one
of the regular asylum balls she was
caught off her guard, and preparations
made to submit her to the test. She
knew she was caught at last, and very
frankly admitted that she was fraud,
and that she had never really attempt
ed suicide by lead poisoning or any
other means. She also told me of her
travels over the United States, and in
England and Australia, simply on SYM
pathy. and in reply to inquiries we
afterward got letters verifying her
statements as to her travels.-St Louis
