THE LAST OF THE BISON.

A recent dispatch to the RECORD
UNION gave details of an expedition to
Southwestern Texas, organized by the Chi
cago Times, to capture what is supposed to
be the last band of the American bison,
commonly called the buffalo. 1t is COM
paratively but few years ago when count
less thousands of the animal roamed the
great plains, their immense herds often
becoming sources of danger to emigrant
trains. 1t did not, twenty years ago, seem
possible that these animals would be driven
back by advancing civilization until but
such an insignificant number as but a few
dozen Of them remained. But the fact is
that so rapid has been the march of settle
ment across the continent, and so relent-
less the hunt for the buffalo, that it is
even thus early question whether the
remnant of the bison herds can be found
at all.
The expedition is to be under the direc-
ton of once famons bison hunter, popu-
larly known as Buffalo" Jones, who has
amassed wealth and become more recently
known as the founder of the " boom CITY,"
Wichita, Kas. The purpose of the expe-
dition is not to kill the few remaining rep
resentatives Of this particularly American
animal. and the hunting of which has been
the KEYNOTE for so many romances of
Western life, but TO take the little band
and endeavor to prevent total extinction
of the bison family. An interesting feat
IRE Of the expedition--though the idea is
by no means nevis to send back reports
from the expedition by carrier-pigeons.
1t is certain that the projectors of the ex-
petition are in error in supposing that
the few buffalo assumed to be in
Southwestern Texas are the only re-
manning representatives of the bison
family upon the continent. A year
ago last winter an expedition was
sent into the Yellowstone Park re-
gion by the Forest and Stream Company,
and still another penetrated the same
wilds last winter, both reporting the exist
ence of quite number of bison within the
limits of the Government preserve. There
are several ranches in the Northwest where
few head of buffalo have been raised for
breeding with domestic cattle. Three

A MATTER OF NAMES.

A writer in an Eastern review who be-
lieves not only that there is something in
a name, but very great deal, urges
the people to cease giving middle names
to their children. He finds that individ-
ual greatness and worth in America has
been represented largely by those who had
no middle names. Thus, Of the fifty-three
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence only three had more than one name.
In the first American commercial conven-
ton not a solitary delegate had middle
name. In the convention of 1877 to re-
wise the Constitution, of the fifty-six
delegates ffty-one had but one name. OF
the forty-eight signers of the Articles of
Confederation only four had two given !"
names. Of the thirty-six Speakers of the
House in the first half of the century only
twelve had middle names. OF the five
Chief Justices in the same period, none
had middle names, and of thirty-one Asso-
ciate Justices in that time only five had
more than one name. OF the eighteen
Secretaries of State only two had middle
names. OF eighteen Secretaries of the
the Treasury only eight, of the twenty-six
Secretaries of War only nine, and of the
twenty-one Secretaries of the Navy but
eight had middle names. We have had
twenty-five Presidents and fifteen OF them
had no middle name given them at birth
OF FIVE Senator's who became President
only one was doubly named This is
amusing but is really not an ingenious de-
vice to discourage double naming and i'm
press people with the suspicion that there
may be some Subtle forces directing the
fate of men," and that name bestowed
upon the helpless infant may produce eff
fects marring the career of the man.
But let US see how statistics of this
character prove nothing. The output of a
very few minutes of search enables us to
make this showing: OF the thirty-three
Ministers of the United States at foreign
Courts, twenty-seven have two and five
have three given names. OF the seventy

How He Won Hts Wife.

The late Mr.. Brewster's second wife, who
does not survive him, was the widowed
daughter of his old friend, Robert J.
Walker, Secretary of the Treasury. She
had supported herself after her fathers
death as clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, and was very beautiful woman.
The words in which Mr.. Brewster is said
to have sought her hand are certainly not
uncharacteristic of the man: "You are
beautiful, dear madame, and | am hideous,
but it will not be the first instance of the
mating of beauty and the beast, and al
though you may never love me, you shall
never regret marrying me-" 1t was a
happy union, for Mr.. Brewster was de-
votedly attached to mis- home, and it is to
be feared that he did what he could to
spoil an only son, who survives him.

In the North american Revieu for May
Mr.. Gladstone replies to Colonel Ingersoll
on christianity" If Ingersoll is the
most brilliant of orators in America, Glad
stone is the most conspicuous of figures in
England. As scholar he is greatly the
superior of Ingersoll, and as a reasoner the
latter cannot rise to his level. Colonel
Ingersoll gives zest and edge to his argu-
ment by flashing wit and sparkling
humor. Mr.. Gladstone never thinks of
invoking either as aids to the profundity
and earnestness of his expressions. The
reply of the English statesman is protest
ing rather than critical and argumentative
form of answer he has not been accus-
toned to use. Mr.. Gladstone protests
that Colonel Ingersoll is faulty in the
method Of debate that he adopts; that it is
wanting in gravity and solemnity. Beyond
these objections to Mr.. IngersolPs method,
and the great Englishman's brief assertion
Of belief that Darwinism is not of necessity
in opposition to the generally accepted in
terpretations of the Bible, there is really
not much of reply in Mr.. Gladstone's
paper. This is to be regretted, since it
was expected that its author would devote
himself to the subject matter, and handle
Ingersollism without gloves, rather than
protest against the methods employed by
that brilliant debater.

years ago Buffalo Jones led party of
hunters into western Texas in search of
the same band the Chicago Times expedi-
ton is now seeking. The hunters met
with many hardships, but with very few
bufaloes. They succeeded, however, in
capturing few calves, which Jones was to
keep on his Kansas farm, but no results of
the experiment have been vet reported
1t is improbable that the avaricious hide
hunters have spared the few head of bison
that were seen by the expedition of three
years ago, and the chances that the Times
pigeons Will bring US news of the discovery
and capture of buffaloes are very remote,
except the returns are "doctored" The
enterprise of the Chicago paper in organ
izing the expedition, and bearing the
heavy cost it involves is praiseworthy, and
even if the buffalo are not found the search
for them Will not be valueless if the repre-
sentatives of the Times are intelligent OBJ
servers.

THE proposition in Congress to increase
Postal Service is meritorious. They are
to be divided into six classes, whose sala
ries shall range from 5000 for the lowest
to 81 800 for the highest. The bill also
stipulates the exact amount of salary that
shall be paid each class. The present
clerks are not to be graded down in the
service, and this is an absolutely essential
clause in the measure. OF course it re-
tains the Democratic clerks, but the law
will be for all time and ought to be, Just so
far as it is wise and rewards hard-worked
clerks we'll. In such bill there ought to
be, and really is no politics. There are
few positions where men are worked
harder and are deprived of SO much of or
binary comfort and domesticity. The
postal clerks salary is always an indefinite
quantity, because he cannot tell precisely
what his living expenses" will be from
month to month, since he has often to pro-
vide extra meals and bear extra expenses
incident to railway service.
SURGEON GENERAL HAMILTON officially
warns the country that it Is in imminent
danger Of visitation from yellow fever
the coming summer. 1t appears that, de-
spite the denials heretofore made, the
fever did appear in virulent form in
Florida, and that it is very likely to break
out there again. The Surgeon-General
has been roundly abused by the Florida
press, but he has the courage to do his
duty and state the exact facts. If they
result in the proper sanitation of Southern
towns, the act will have accomplished
great ends. The expectation, however,
that cleanliness, quarantine and isolation
of fever-smitten sections will prevail is
almost too much to hope for.

THE fact that the South pays the negro
laborer the lowest possible wages, and
maintains labor system that keeps the
black man in ignorance and wretchedness
is asserted by an executive officer of the
Knights of Labor from observations made
recently. When the Democracy dominates
so absolutely as it does in the solid South,
labor is in need of friend. The Democ-
racy always pirates of its friendship for the
laboring man, but it uniformly cringes at
the feet of an aristocracy that arose upon
the crime of human bondage, and still
lives upon the traditions of the era of
slavery. The dominant class in the South
is composed of the whites, and they are
Democrats The element in the South
that despises labor, holds it to be mental,
and would keep it a mudsill is Demo-
cratic Workingmen, in estimating the
two great political parties, have but to re-
fer to the history of the century to con-
vince themselves of the truth of these
statements.

CONSTITUTED authority seems to be
completely paralyzed in Southern Indiana
so far as checking the outrages of "The
White Caps" is concerned. These organ
lied bands of lawless men, who have taken
upon themselves to mete out punishment
to those they judge to be offenders against
social codes, are to-day superior to the law
in the south part of Indiana by virtue of
secrecy and might and, there is reason to
suspect, by connivance of not few sworn
officials of the law 1t would seem that
the boldness of the lawless bands and their
evident control OF the local authorities,
would justify the Governor of the State in
taking charge of matters and declaring the
region infested by the "White Caps" to be
in condition calling for executive in
reference supported by the military arms
of the State. OF course it is extremely
difficult to operate where the perpetrators
of the outrages act in profound secrecy,
and at times and points least expected.
Still, in maintaining order and enforcing
the laws, difficulties exist only to be over
come.

The following test will be required Of each
voter Mt the said Primary Elections:
Are you Ill elector, will you be sp elector
at the ensuing election, and will you support
the nominees of tine National aud State Demo.
cratic Conventional
The following resolutions were unanimously
Rdopted:
That this committee cordially and emphai-
icaliy indorses the Administration of President
Cleveland. 1t has been thoroughly true to the
best interest of the Republic, ana the d. ace
and prosperity of the country are largely due
to ITS wise and benign policy with respect to
both foreign and domestic matters. 1t has re-
formed the civil service, abolished useless Of
noes, reduced the Governments expenses
restored many millions of acres of land to the
public domain, greatly reduced the public
debt, prevented the importation of pauDer la
Dor under contract, and hus wisely and consis t.
emily endt avUred to effect a reduc tiun of the
idle surplus in the Treasury and tighten
the burden of taxation on the mass OF the peo-
pie.
The line of policy laid down in the last an
nual message of the President for the revision
ana reduction OF war tariffs especially COM
menus itself to us as sure guarantee of pros-
perity to all classes of producers and of that
genuine and honest protection to labor 30 long
promised but never youchsafed by the mo-
nopolistic legislation Of the so-called Republi-
can party.
We congratulate the whole country, and es-
pecially the Pacific Coast, on the successful
negotiation by President Cleveland with China
which edectuaily excludes all further inmi.
grafton of Chinese laborers to this country and
prevents those now here, who may go to China,
returning, except in special cases.
We therefore avow, without hesitation or
qualification, our unsl aiGn confidence in the
wisdom, coulaye and devotion Of President
Cleveland, and earnestly and hopefully recon-
mend and urge his re- election to the great of
fee which he has 80 accepiably filed.
We favor the exclusion from our country of
foreign criminal paupers, insane and all Others
who may become q burden to taxpayers, as
well rs those chronic disturbers of Society,
known as Anarchists aud Nihilists: but We
earnestly protest against the Know Nothing
proposition adoIted by the Republican S,ntG
Committee at their late meeting for the "lilnit-
ing all further Immigration" OF persons who
come to the country for the purpose of become
ing citizens, of lettering their condition ind
becoming defenders of our free and democrat
ic institutions.
