Rjvera and harbors.

The house committee on rivers and har
bors has completed its work, and has pre-
sented to the house bill which proposes to
approriate $19, ,432, 783 for river and har-
Dor improvements. This is the largest bill
ever reported in any congress. The aggre.
gate will, ofcourse, attract much attention,
and will excite apprehension OF a veto. The
last river and harbor bill was vetoed by the
president largely because OF the magnitude
of the appropriation. yet the total OF that
bill was very much less than the footings
of the present bill. It will be claimed for
the bill that the United States is very
large country. that its internal commerce.
is rapidly Increasing, and that ths de.
mands for internal Improvements keep
that every item in this long bill has been
considered with the utmost care,
and that the percentage OF the amount
appropriated to the amount of the esti.
mates which have been made by the engi-
neer officers OF the government is very
small. The final allowance made by the
committee is. in fact. less than halt the to-
tai am cunts called for by the estimates.
The total bill is $19,432, 783; the amount

Cora and Chaska.

The marriage OF Miss Cora Belle Fellows
has finally occurred, and she is now the
lawful wife OF Chaska, the Indian. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. Han
ford, an Episcopal missionary who halls
from Africa. Miss Fellows was anxious
that the marriage come off some weeks
ago. but the Rev. Hanford refused to ofIi-
ciare before announcing officially from the
pulpit three successive Sundays. Chaska
is n low type of an Indian with q badly
pock. marked face and far from handsome.
He has small trace OF white blood but it
cannot be discovered. He ia an ignorant
Santee, and when he visits Fort
Bennett it is well to look out, as
he has kieptomanac tendencies. He
has passed many day in the guard house.
Since courting Cora. he has been a sort OF
dude, discarding part Of his Indian cos
tune. A few days before he left for the
brides home he had a military barber cut
his hair and wash ont the red paint on the
scalp. It seems that Belle became infatu-
ated with Chaska while teaching at Fort
Bennett. She made him presents and he
sCpra to Chasks." Other little messages
6i love passed between them, and lady
friend Of Miss Fellows says uho has adj
mired Chaska Tor year. They would
60 out walking every evening,
and very often Miss Fellows has
kissed Chaska before tue school
children. Chaska told companion, De.
wett, that Miss Fellows informed him OF
her love and suggested marriage agreeing
that she would educate and work for him.
pswett ALEC says his youngest brother in,
iormed him months ago that Q white girl
wanted to marry Chaska. II seams that
Miss Fellows conducted the courtship and
won Chaskn's hand after hard work. Miss
Fellows, previous to coming to Dakota,
resided at Capitol Hill. Washington. and
il highly related. She talks Sioux like q
native. John Robb an Indian trader at
Fort Bennett, was invited to the mar
riage. He says that Chaska is a
worthless Indian. He draws ra.
tions and around the agency is known as
Sam Campbell. He is q Santee Indian
without character. Every body is surprised
that she married him alter the urgent pro-
tests from Rev. Sunderland, President
Clevelnnd's pastor, who sent her to Dako-
to. The ceremony was conducted under
the Episcopal form. .Chsska having an In.
terpeter on hand who repeated the form.
After they were proclaimed man and wife.
Cora kissed Chaska. and the crowd OF In.
dian squaw mon left the church. a dance
followed and continued ell night. ChaskR

The executive committee OF the Mime.
sofa Farmers alliance. at a meeting in st.
Paul, reiterated the principles adopted by
the alliance in February last, and having
been submitted to Albert Scheffer, he
endorsed them as follows. Il fully indorse
the principles set forth above, and, il
elected, will do all in my power to enforce
them."
Afterwards the following paper was read
and adopted.
From the executive commit tee OF the
State Farmers alliance to the people OF
NJ innesota:
For two years past we have come up to
the capital with our grievances asking
our state authorities and state conven-
tions for relief. We have invariably re.
ceived fair promises, and experience proves
that these were only made to be broken
mere stepping stones to places OF trust
and honor. For righteous acts we get SYM
pathetic words; officials, instead of en-
forcing the laws, have become hungry poll
ticians, office seekers iobbers, who would
barter their birthright for a mess OF pot.
tage. The people OF this state are sub
iects OF cruel, relentless system OF rob-
berry, that forces them to pay exorfitant
PtiScS iOE XII tHcy dHu tiltfu
OF free market for what they cell. Unjust
discrimination against persons and places
is practiced with iinpunity. Laws enact
ed to relieve the people are a dead let
ter or perverted and made OF no
effect. Laws are framed and
forged in favor OF monopolists; corruption
reigns in high places. All over the country
there are hirelings at work to perpetuate
this power; cunning knaves. talking party
preudices to hide their own sins and lead
off the people to the polls like sheep to the
slaughter. The needs OF the hour are ster-
ling manhood, independent. intelligent
vigorous action. The cath OF Office is the
highest pledge. and should be held sacred.
Perjured recreants should be branded with
everlasting shame and reegated to the
place pro ovidad for them-the penitentiary.
While we do not assume to dictate to the
bers OF the alliance of the state at
large. and have no authority to place in
nomination candidates for any Office I'm.
der the rules OF our organiza tion, we never
theless recommend that the members of
the alliance, and farmers throughout
the state. use their utmost en-.
deavors to place in nomi nation for legis-
1ative executive and judicial offices men
who are known to be in sympathy with
the principles OF the alliance as expressed
by our platform OF principles. and in this
connection it does not seem improper ior
US to recommend Albert Scheffer for gov
ernor OF this state. His past record as
well as his present position. entities him,
we believe, to the confidence OF those who
are in sympath thy with the principles wead.

that four men who killed them were still in

The President has vetoed the bills granting
pensions to Hannah II. Langdon, Betsy Mans

that the deaths did not result from injuries
received during the war, or sickness incident

apolicy that all soldiers widows shall be
pensioned, it is unfair and unjust to make
exceptions in favor Of only such as procure
the passage Of special acts.

India is fearfully poor to-day, and I

crystallized sweat into gems. The few

other country. 1t built its palaces and
tombs Of wondrous beauty, but there
is absolutely no sort OF monument Of
past people or masses. These have
ever lived in squalor, their mud houses
melting under a summer rain; their
little accommodations vanishing in the
smoke OF their poor funeral piles. OPP
preston has so sunken into their ma
lures that they have no conception of
anything else. If cells were half as
fond of being skinned as these people
are Of being ground down, they would
wiggle from their mud house into the
frying-pan. Like spaniels, they de-

them.
There is nothing in this land to make

make it the opposite. It's climate en-

be starvation elsewhere, and to clothe
themselves in some light cloth alone.
Such a people never could be rich.
They have been able to manufacture
articles at almost nominal cost whose
rarity in Europe made them of great
value, and Europe imagined these
things were riches, whereas their very
cheapness here was evidence of the

Perhaps as ready tact as was ever
displayed in the pulpit was on the part
of minister who became the lifelong
chaplain OF Frederick the Great. The
King chose to decide between q num-
Der of applicants by the way in which
they should deliver an extempore SER
mon, the text to be handed them in O
sealed envelope as they entered the
pulpit. Sunday came, and after prayer
one of the Kings aids presented the
minister with sealed envelope. He
opened it and found it blank. He held
up one side and said: my brethren,
here is nothing" Then, holding up the
other side, he said: "And here is moth
ing, and out of nothing God created all
things" and proceeded to deliver a
magnificent discourse on the power
and wonders OF creation. He obtained
the appointment, and held it through
his lifetime.
