SICK INDIANS.

Indian Agent Jones, of the Berthold
Oak agency, has made application to
the department fora physician who shall
remain constantly at the agency. This
request is the result of hurried examine
ton of the health of the Indians. Mr..
Jones was recently appointed. He finds
that disease runs rampant among the en-
tire Indian community. The Indians at
this agency are in most deplorable con-
dition. In the past their health has
been neglected, they have been permit
ted to roam about the country, and as
result some members of the tribe have
returned to their camps laden with dis
ease, which has spread to nearly every
Indian at the agency. 1t is understood
that the request for aphysician has been
granted and that steps will be taken to
prevent the further spread of disease
among the tribes. The condition of
affairs at the agency in the past has not
only ruined the health of the Indians,
but has been constant menace to the
whites, with whom the Indians necessar-
lily associated. So great became this
danger that the county and city author
tiles were alarmed, and the mayor Of
Bismarck was compelled to serve notice
on the former agent that il he did not
keep the Indians on the reservation an
investigation would be demanded.
Agent Jones hopes to be able to check
the disease, and promises to keep the
Indians on the reservation.

The president-elect has rendered Eli

indianapolis Journal, the position of
private secretary.
Mr.. Halford is forty-three years of
age and came from England when n
child with his parents, who settled in
Cincinnati. He began his newspaper
career as reporter on the Indianapolis
Journal twenty-five years ago, and rose
in few years through successive posi-
lions to the managing editorship. He
was for time managing editor OF the
Chicago Inter Ocean in its first years.
Returning to indianapolis, lie resumed
the managing editorship of the journal.

liam Mckinley, Of Ohio, the distinction
OF having contributed no inconsiderabls
share in the construction of the national
platform, upon which the late campaign
was fought and won.
As an editorial writer he is widely
known for his able and incisive polit-
ical articles, the pungency OF his
style giving his writings distinctive
ness leaving no doubt on the readers
mind as to their authorship. For sew
eral years past Halford has been ON in
innate and confidential terms with Gen

important position now rendered him
occasions no surprise here. The new
private secretary is married and has ono

Triuea by a Prominent Editor Of SoI'h
Carolina.

ITiittem on Prominent Editor Of S"A"'
Considerable excitement was created
in political circles here last night, says
a Charleston IS. o. dispatch, by the
leading editorial in the News and Cour-
Ter, written by Editor w, +. Dawson,
member Of the national democratic COM
mittee. Mr.. Dawson has just returned
from Washington and the editorial IS
considered semi-official. 1t is as follows:
Those who have known General Har-
rison long and intimately find excellent
points in his character. The cleanness
of his private life has never been dis,
puted General Harrisons war record
is more than respectable-by merit, not
by political influence. In civil life lie
has been bold and uncompromising.
The intellectual force of General Harri-
son has been questioned, but hls lntl-
mates regard him as man OF big brain.
With this goes, it is asserted, an m
vincihle confidence in himself Ihls
is not the view OF the presldent-eleet
that was taken by democrats in the
late campaign. The caricatnrists then
created him MS blind or stalking horse
Tor an EASTERN STATESMAN. sA1llt titc ilOteNA
no longer appears too small for the nat.
II is evident from utterances since cleo
tion that there is less desire than ever
before to dragon the southern states.
1t is not unlikely that Senator Chandler
will press the bill to regulate elections
in the south, which he introduced last
winter. But there are conservative in
fuences at work. Many millions OF
northern and western capital are already
invested in the south. Many more mil
lions can protitably be placed in south
ern states. This will go far to prevent
violent and coerciye legislation. There
is likewise q widespread feeling that
nothing is to be gained by attempting to
restore negro rule and carpet. bag con-
troll in the south. The experiment has
been tried, and there is little temptation
10 repeat. The conclusion we have come
TO is that the southern people have little
reason at present to fear extreme meas
ures on the part of General Harrison or
of congress, and that southern people
themselves can strengthen by their con-
duct the hope of continued peace and
progress.

General Harrison, says an Indanapo-
lis dispatch, put in the day hard at
at work trying to reduce his accumu-
lated correspondence, and keeping two
stenographers going all the time. There
is but slight falling off in the volume
of letters. Numbers of ballots and
other mementoes of the campaign are
being sent him.
AS the official returns slowly come in
hundreds of election bets are being
paid. 1t is estimated that over 5000, 900
changed hands in indianapolis, and one
of the best posted men in the state, who
participated actively in the campaign,
estimates that not less than 81, 900, 600
was wagered on the presidential issue in
the state of Indiana. Local democrats
are consoled by winning good sums
from the enthusiastic republicans on this
(Marion) county, which went for Cleye-
land by a plurality of 37S. This is also
the season when the wheelbarrow better
is seen trundling along with an indig-
nant face and crowd of hoodlums guy
ing him.
Another damage suit growing out of
the election was filed to-day against
United States Marshal Hawkins, claim
ing $4,000 for false imprisonment
This makes fully dozen suits filed
against the marshal for arrests made by
his deputies, the damages asked aggre-
eating about S200,000
Chairman J. n. Huston returned from
his home in Connersville to-day, fresh
from the ovation rendered him by his
home friends, which was one of the
most fattering recognitions ever paid
to any campaign manager. Not less
than 10000 people enthusiastically
greeted him, the demonstration con-
Guiding at night in grand ratification
meeting, at which he was the central

An intimate friend OF General Harri-
son says: General Harrison, like all
presidents. will desire to do something
that will give his administration prom
inent place in the history Of his country,
and have reason to believe that one OF
his first official acts will be the negotia-
ton for the annexation OF Canada"
what is his plan of annexation?"
He believes the United States can
and should receive Canada in n peaceful
manner. His idea is that the territory
can be annexed to the United States by
assuming Canada's debt. If the terri
tory cannot be obtained for that consid-
Grafton, think General Harrison would
favor paying considerable bonus. /
understand he has said privately that the
surplus in the treasury could not be
spent in wiser manner than by buying
Canada. Whatever his plans for MAX
ing Canada a portion OF the United
States may be, / know he heartily favors
such move, and will so recommend in
his first message to congress"

New York dispatch: James NJ.
Lougherty, an awkward looking coun-
tryman from the vicinity of Salem, n.
T.. was arrested to-day for annoying
Miss Mary Anderson by persistent at
tentions. Dougherty, who seems to be
weak minded, says he first saw and fell
i'll love with the actress six years ago at
Elmira, where she played in the Lady
of Lyons. He tried to obtain an in
terview, but failed, and followed her to
New York and then to England, send
ing her notes and bouquets iunumera-
lie, but being always debarred from an
interview, rs he believed, by rivals who
conspired against him. A big revolver
found on his person was doubtless in
tended for use upon these Jealous ri
walls. He believed that Miss Anderson
was as much in love with him as he
with her, but was prevented from seeing
him. Miss Anderson, who remembered
having seen DOugherty but once during
his six years alteration, went to Inspec-
tor Byrnes' office after the arrest and
talked kindly to Dougherty, telling him
that he was suffering from q delusion,
and that she had never encouraged nor
observed his attentions. Doughertv
seemed dazed by this statement, and
said that some one Just like her must
have deceived him, for he was sure he
had received bows and smiles from her
or her double. He promised never to
follow her any more, and Miss Anderson
begge / Inspector Byrnes to let the man
go. but the officer thought it best to
hold Dougherty until an examination as
to his sanity could be made.

THE LATEST CABINET ADDITION.

The Washington Evening Star says:
There is much talk about Mr.. Clarkson
going into the cabinet or some other
office. He is looked upon as at about
the head of political affairs in Iowa now,
and it is not likely that he would accept
anything less than cabinet position. It
is believed by many that he has no am
bition for that. If Mr. Allison should
go into the treasury department that
would, of course, leave Mr.. Clarkson
ont of the cabinet. There would then
be an opening much more to his liking.
The seat vacated in the senate by Mr.
Allison would be plum for some ambi-
tious Iowa republican, and Mr.. Clarkson
might get it. The honor would lie be-
tween him and ex-Representatiye Hep
burn. When in the house Mr.. Hepburn
was regarded as one of the strongest
men on the republican side, and he
might prove n strong rival Yet Mr..
Clarkson's friends believe he can get
most anything he wants in Iowa. Mr..
Allison may not want TO go into the cab
met. He may preferto hold his present
honorable position.

En-. nARRTsoN,s cAnrNET.

General Harrison has not, according
to an Indianapolis dispatch, invited any
body to enter his cabinet He has writ
ten no letters to the men whose names
have been mentioned in connection with
the cabinet, and no ambassadors author
lied torepresent him have been sent east
or elsewhere. It is more than probable
he has not considered the availability of
any man whom he would be likely to APP
point, and until he shall make his official
nominations the public must remain In
ignorance rs to his real intentions, ex-
cept in so far as surmise may be correct.
The impression seems to have got out
that he might receive proposals for cabi-
net officers from now on, but to some
men who have seen him he said he would
not consider such matters until along in
February, when the smoke of battle will
have cleared away and the country will
have resumed its normal condition.
However, 1t makes little difference to
Hoosier statesmen whether the presi-
dent-elect takes them into his confidence
or not. Tney are going to gossip about
possible cabinet officers until they ascer-
tain who they really will be. None of
them, somehow, accord Mr. Blaine the
secretaryship of state, and the we'll
informed intimate that he has no ambi-
ton to enter the cabinet.

Seven delegates, who represent tho Can.

strong feeling in fnyor of radical re-
vision Of the present constitution there

Grady Vs. Robertson suit for libel.
Charleston is exceedingly stirred ND.
and certain circles in Columbia are
also much interested. The trial was
