As result OF the recent conference in

| Sitting Bull and Gall have won in their
| contest with the government and for the
present the great reservation OF their
people will remain inaet. For the future
the people aie promised an Gct OF CON

sent of the Indians, Such measure,

practicable one. When the government

no promise of successful termination. In
this case the governments based its ne

The negotiations between the Sioux
and government are at an end and IT is
more than likely that congress at it's
next session will amend the Sioux act so
as to provide for the opening of the great
reservation without any further attempt
to gain the consent of the Indians. The
increasing demand Of the west for more
land for settlers and the fact that the
Sioux can make no progress without the
eduction OF their reservation has con-
vnced the authorities that public policy
demands that no further attention
should be paid to the treaties which the
Indians are constantly falling behind in
their efforts to prevent the wiping oat

When LIS the Coolest Day ?

Buffalo special: In the course OF an
interview General Greedy, chief of the
weather bureau, says: The ooldest day
does not occur at the winter solstice,
but somewhat later, since the greatest
cold must be experienced at that time
of the year when the amount of heat re-
ceived from the sun becomes equal to
that lost by nocturnal radiation. As
might be expected, the coidest day falls
earlier in the southern part OF the
country than the northern; the average
date on the thirtieth parallel not being
far from January 1, while on the forty
fifth parallel the average Is IS late as
January 90; there being thus DELAY to
she northHard OF slightly over day for
leach degree OF latitude.
The date at which the coolest dag
falls (as determined from the normals OF
many years) depends somewhat, how
ever, upon the prevailing winds and
other causes w.lioh tend to similar re-
sult-that is, giving cold OF translation
and not purely OF radiation. Along the
Pacific coast the coldest period occurs
about January from Minnesota and lows
eatjtward to Michigan and Illinois from
January Is to 20, and from Pennsylvania
Maryland. New England to Name from
January 90 to 80.

PERTAINING TO PENSIONS.
some Facts and Figures which Democrats
Dare Not Publish.

some tacts and Figures w hfch Democrats
Dare Not ruDiish.
| No Democratic newspaper has as yet
made a decent pretense Of telling the
whole truth concerning pension matters.
and more particularly private pension
! bills passed upon by various administra-
tions The most common comparison
made by journals of that party is between
the number of such bills signed by Presi-
| dents Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur
and those signed by Grover Cleveland
The continued dragging Of Garfield 5
| name into the controversy is in itself a
spared long enough to his country to
| submitted for his consideration. Dur
ing the twenty-four years of Repub.
lican administration, from Lincoln to
Arthur, there were but eight vetoes
of pension bills These were all made
by President Grant. Five of them were
made because the beneficiaries had already
| been allowed at the pension Office better
stipend than they could secure under the
bills. During the terms of Grant and
succeeding Republican presidents the
house of representatives was Democratic
with the exception of two years. and
| allowed pension legislation to accumulate
and refused to pass much that was
worthy, Before Grover Cleveland came
into Office there were notifications of the
pension laws that extended the benefits
of the system, and the Democratic party
dropped its hold back policy.
The real question Is not on how many
bills Cleveland has signed, for we take the
ground that all disabled and deserving
veterans are entitled to recompense, but
on how many he has vetoed or disap.
proved. The record shows that during
the first three sessions Of congress he We.
toed III bills, with others to hear from
1t also shows that up to the ist of Au.
gust he had refused to sign 1877 bills which
he permitted to become laws by tolera-
tion. The presumption concerning the
latter is that the applicants had such in.
| fiuence that, while he would not endorse
| their claims he dare not openly deny
| them. This is furtherproof of the innate
| moral ccwardice Of the man.
| lnasmuch as he refused to sign these
| bills he certainly did not approve Of them,
| SO the record of disapproval Is III vetoes
| plus 167 unsigned bills, making in all q
total of 32S disapprovals from incompleted
returns of three years. This, la com
parison with the Republican record of
eight vetoes in twenty four years, cuts a
sorry figure, and the comparison is still
worse when it is remembered that FIVE of
the eight Republican vetoes were made
| for the pensioners benefit. The record
of twenty four years Republican admin
| istration is three actual vetoes. The
record Of a trife over three years of Dem
ocratic administration is III vetoes and
l57 disapprovals. These figures are abso
lutely correct and can be verified by the
records. No Democratic paper dare pub
lish them and then assert that Cleveland,
the man who hired substitute and
turned his back on the exercises Of Dec.
| Grafton day, is friend to the veteran OF
his cause. Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette.
