a fact worthy of note is that during the
three years of Cleveland's administration
there has been 1900 private pension acts
passed and become a law, while during the
whole twenty-five years of Republican
rule only l,524 private pension acts became
a law.-Dem. Elk.
That may be true, but if it is it does
not help Cleveland out of his dilema. 1t
is not the relative number of pension
bills that have become laws under his
administration and those of his prede-
cessors, but the number of such bills
vetoed. We do not remember to have a
comparative statement, but will guaran-
tee that he has vetoed as many during
the three and a half years that he has
been in office as were vetoed during the
twenty years previous to the beginning
of his term.

mated at Topeka for secretary Of state,
his name will 20 down on the ticket as
Noble L. PrentIs Of Kansas, as he is the
son of the state and cannot be claimed
by any particular locality. This is true.
and it furnishes one of the strongest
claims in his favor which can be present

The bill to provide for the adjustment Of
the eight hour claims passed the senate d
week ago. What political Significance
attaches TO the fact mat not single Re-
publican voted against the bill, and only
four Democrats voted for it, namely: VooI-
bees, Turpie, kenna and Faulknsr?-Labor
paper.
The only political significance in the
vote ON that bill is that it shows the
attitude of the two parties towards labor
ing people. The Republicans favored
applying the provisions of the labor
laws to all alike, without discrimination;
the Democrats opposed this. and sup
ported by their votes the partiality that
has been practiced in that matter.

In his persistence in vetoing pension
bills Mr.. Cleveland reminds one of the
fellow who said the horse was sixteen
feet high, and stuck to it rather than
admit his mistake. At first the presi-
dent, no doubt, fancied that it would
eventually prove to be popular line OF
policy to veto as many of the private
pension bills as he could find pretexts
for SO doing and he followed it UP until
he had gotten too far to retreat He
now keeps it up from sheer foolhardi-
ness, evidently hoping to gain as much
from the prize ring element as he will
lose on account of brutality to the SOL
diers of the Union. But the latter will
have an opportunity, they and their
friends, to place an etfectual veto upon
his autocratic career in November, and
they will do it once for ALL

Should the Indians in Dakota or else
where persist in their refusal to sign the
new treaties in relation to the disposition
of part Of the lands now held by them it
will become an interesting questionto de-
termine the course to pursue by the gov
eminent. The Indians hold the lands
under treaty stipulations and if they
finally refuse to surrender them or any
part Of them as now seems to be their de-
termination, the only course left will be
to forcibly eject them and dispose OF
them as the government may determine.
This, viewed from humanitarian stand
point and in the light of the advanced
civilization Of the nineteenth century,
would be regarded as arbitrary, high
handed proceeding, but it would be in
keeping with the policy and practice of
the government on that subject ever
since its formation. The red man has no
vested rights that the white man is dis
posed TO concede when they come in the
way of his desire for land accessions.
1t is too late for the moral aspect of the
question to cut any figure in its settle
ment. In dealing with the Indians
might makes right.

Hon. Knute Nelson, congressman from
the Fourth Minnesota district, who voted
for the passage OF the Mills bill, was
elected as the representative of the Min
neapolis Millers' association. The millers'
association not only paid Mr.. Nelson's
campaign expenses, but filled the district
with speakers from Minneapolis, and he
recognizes the obligation he is under to
them by voting for the free admission of
Manitoba and Saskatchewan hard wheat,
by means of which the millers hope to
reduce the price on every bushel Of
wheat grown in northern Minnesota and
North Dakota. Fortunately for the Re-
publican party and the country, Mr..
Nelson retires at the end of his present
term, Hon. S. CT. Comstock having been
nominated by the Republicans as his
successor The Republican majority in
the Fourth Minnesota district is about
5000, but MIR. Nelson could not have
been elected If nominated.

If the present condition of our foreign
trade-about twenty-elght millions
against as for the past year-should be
augmented by any unexpected turn OF
affairs that might give free trade theories
precedence in the tariff policy of the
government, thus largely reducing the
volume of currency in the country and
unavoidably contracting the rate of
wages of all laboring people, the country
would be given an impetus on the down
grade that would land it in the demni-
ton bow-wows, as to its business inter
ests of every kind, before anybody would
know what was the matter. Talk about
hard times and general decentralization
of business. this country has never eX-
perienced anything that can give an ade-
quate conception of what would follow
the success of the plans mapped out by
the Democracy. They must not succeed
unless the country wishes to experience
a revolution in financial and general bus
mess throughout the land.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

A man dressmaker, or ladies' tailor.
has been talking to the New York
World about his interesting occupation
and customers. He remarks. with more
truth than credit to the age, that 1.-The
ideal Greek figure would be regarded as
monstrosity nowadays" and also, and
certainly as truly, that "our model
would have made all Athens roar" He
gives the following as ''good model for
an American girl:'
Height, five feet, four and half
inches: bust, thirty-six inches: waist,
twenty-five and half inches; length of
back, fifteen inches; of 'front.' thirteen
and half inches; biceps, eleven and a
half inches, tapering down to six and a
quarter inches at the waist. The weight
ought not to be over 1870 nor under 125
pounds.
He says that ''if only American girls
could be induced to take little more
active exercise out of doors, they would
be the models of the modern human
form" A word to the wise is sufficient.
How many does the American girl need:
