Some very bad blood was engendcred
at Standing Rock Agency last Saturday
on occasion of the big pow-wow held
there by the Sioux Indians to consider
the pending treaty; and it is very evil
dent that Sitting Bull and some of the
other old chiefs still exercise a potent
influence The younger braves who are
presumed to be of more progressive ideas,
are many of them in favor of making
the desired concessions to the Govern
ment: so that whether the treaty is
signed or goes unsigned, some ugly in
testinal feuds will doubtless be the re-
suit, nccessitating the interposition ol
the Great Father.

President Cleveland spent yesterday
Mt Gwynedd, Montgomery County, Pa,
as the guest of Mr.. William NJ. Singerly,
and dispatch from Philadelphia assures
us that no political significance is to be
attached to the visit. OF course not.
Mr.. Cleveland simply went over to see his
friends fine blooded stock and beautiful
farm. BY common consent no reference
whatever was made to the pending can
vass. just see how easy ID is to tell a
bigger lie than the Philadelphia dis

Mrs. CleveIand,s Double.

Says the Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Times: Mrs. Cleveland has her double
in Washington. The lady is Miss Mullen.
She is employed in one of the Departments,
and the joke of the resemblance is that Miss
Mullen has been innocent of 1t until quite re-
Gently. You know that the Marine Band
plays every Satu rday afternoon in rear Of the
White House. On these occasions the grounds
are crowded with visitors, and these of the
middle classes Of Washington society l be-
lieve 1t is not the proper social caper for the
elite to attend these concerts Soon after the
marriage Of Mr.. Cleveland the concerts seemed
to grow in popularity. A better class of
Washington society attended them than had
been wont. Then 1t began to be whispered
that it was all on account of Mrs. Cleveland's
presence at them. This, of course, increased
the attendance, and then 1t was discovered
that Miss Mullen, who went TO the concerts
with great regularity, had been mistaken fol
Mrs Cleveland. 1t is said that Miss Mullen
has not lost her senses on account Of the re-
semblance.

The New York Herald complains that
there is lack of humor in this cam

We call the Hcrald's attention to the
fact that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Har-

going to be close enough to be a very
serious matter.

Five Lucky Brothers.

Representative Rowell, Of Bloomington ILL.,,
told me of rather remarkable circumstance
a few days ago He and his four brothers en-
listed in the Union Army in the spring Of '61
and served until the close of the war in the
Army Of the Tennessee, which probably saw
as much hard and dangerous service as any
other body of Federal troops. Three Of them
were in the 18th Illinois, aud two in the 9Th
Missouri, which was really an Illinois regi-
ment All of them were mustered out when
the war was over as sound as the day they
entered the army. None OF them had re-
ceived more than scratch; not one had been
taken a prisoner, and only the youngest
brother, who was few months over fifteen
when he enlisted, had been in the hospital
and then only for short time. At the battle
Of Shiloh, where Mr.. Rowel was acting cap
tain of his company, twenty-five men out Of
the forty-eight comprising the company were
either killed or badly wounded; yet he and bis
brother, who was in the ranks, were not even
scratched. All the five brothers are aliYt
and well to-day.-[N. Y. Tribune.

The condition of affairs throughout
the greater portion of the South so far
as business is concerned is truly deplor-
able. While there seem to be no i'm
mediate apprehensions of general
spread of the fever, the effort upon the
commercial interests of that section is
practically the same as though it was
undergoing the ravages of great pes
thence. A quarantine is equivalent to
q blockade, and perhaps no city in the
South is greater sufferer ON this ac-
count than Memphis, where not case
Of fever has been reported. How long
the policy of non-intercourse will be
kept up is uncertain, but there will
probably be no discontinuance of it un-
til the fever at Jacksonville and other
interior points has run its course. 1t
will be number of weeks before frosty
weather can be looked for, and in the
meantime the present suspense with all
its disastrous consequences will be kept
up.

The New York World this morning
publishes the opinions of between thirty
and forty Senators and Representatives
regarding President Cleveland as politi-
clan. statesman and executive official.
These opinions are expressed by leading
members of both parties and generally CO.
incide in giving MIR. Cleveland credit for
great force and strength of character,
self-reliance. honesty and the best of
intentions. There are some exceptions
Senator Stewart. of Nevada. for in
stance. admits that he is remarkable
man, but looks upon him as foxy and
ipsincere.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio considers him
over his party.
Mr.. Perkins, OF Kansas, says he is
shrewd, bold and tyrannical, and of in
ordinate ambition, yet he has given the
country stable, conservative admins
tration.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, says the Pres.
ident has impressed him as a man of fail
ability, much stubbornness, great eau
tiOn, plodding patience and large
measure Of that cunning which passes
with many for political sagaclty,
Senator Blair says the President il
better than his party, and Senator Far
well that he is able and honest.
Mr.. Browne, of Indiana, says his opin-
ion of Mr.. Cleveland wouldn't look well
In print.
Senator Frye hits the nail harder on
the head, perhaps, than any Of the rest
when he says: " We Republicans don't
think half so unldndly of him as the
Democrats do, and in private we don't
speak so undndly Of him"

WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER "a, 1888.

The National Democratic Committee
has made an appeal to the people of the
United Statcs-to all who believe that
the welfare of the country will be pro-
NOTED by q continuance of The Demo-
cratic party in power-for funds to aid
in the energetic prosecution of the pend
ing campaign.
Although in certain sense the appeal
is u confession of weakness, as showing
that the popular contributions TO the
cause have not thus far met the needs
or expectations of the committee, 1t Is
in reality an adroit and aggressive move
ment that will result in replenishing the
Golfers of the treasurer with many
shelIcls.
The appeal is made to the people be-
cause of the close and sympathetic rela-
tions that arc assumed to exist between
the great body of citizens and the polit-
ical principles represented by Demo
cratic administration. The Democratic
party, we are told, is not near enough
to, or sufficiently in the confidence of,
rich corporations, trusts and monopolies,
to go to them for help. Being essentially
a party of the people, it relies upon the
people for support.
The meaning of this is not that there
are no Democrats interested in corpora
tions and monopolies, but that the party
has no afiiliation with the peculiar in
terests that derive their strength and
nutrition from the maintenance of ex-
cessive tariff exactions.
The tariff issue is thus kept well to
the front, and the address is in full line
with the spirit of the Presidents Mes
sage on that subject.
= Particular pains is taken, however,
to show that the committee clearly rec
ognizes the binding force of the Civil
Service Law, and that no person in the
public service is under any obligation to
contribute to political fund, or can be
cocrced or intimidated to do that in the
premises which he is not able or dis
posed to do.
Whether the promulgation of the ad.
dress is good politics or not, it's issue
is wholly legitimate, politically con.
sidered. No great campaign can be sue
cessfully or satisfactorily carried or
without the sinews of war, and we have
no doubt that the rank and file Of the
Democratic party will respond with lib
crality to this stirring call for help
The Washington critic., 1888-09-24

If the portrait of Miss Mactavish, of
Maryland, as published in Saturdays
New York Graphic is correct, the Duke
of Norfolk is certainly not inveigled into
a marriage by the beauty of his be-
trothed. Our sympathies in this case
are with both families.

GIFTS TO THE POPE
On the Occasion of His Recent
Jubilee.
Over Seven Thousand Cases of
Articles Donated.
New York Has a Million
Dollar Fire.
The Pope HtghlY Gratlfied.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-The correspon-
dent of the Sun in Rome has furnished
an interesting description of the gifts to
Pope Leo on the occasion of his jubilee.
He says the gifts have come in SO rapidly
that two additions have already been
made to the building in which they are to
be exposed. So far 1000 cases of articles
have been handled and the end is not
yet. Up to Jan. -, presents to the value
of Sl0,000,0 900 have been passed through
the hands of the neutrality-suspicious.. Even
that sun has been exceeded in money.
The United States has outstripped every
other country in cash donations. The
exact sum of the whole money gilt can
not be ascertained, all contributions not
being in hahd.
Irish Catholics, besides their heavy
money contributions, are represented by
rolls Of Irish laces, cases of vestments,
golden altar vessels and ornaments in
abundance and the finest exhibition of
porcelain in the exposition. Patriotism
and religion have been properly blended
by them In this portion of their offerings,
as for instance in a beautiful oval mirror,
framed and surmountod by a tiara and
the keys of Peter. At the base is the
harp of Erin resting in a bed of sham
rocks. Many of the tributes from Ire
land remain unpacked.
This manner OF testifying to Pope Leo
the fealty of the Catholics of the United
States was strongly recommended 10y the
American bishops, who gave their atten-
ton to see how many exquisite presents
from their d~ioceses would be received. 1t
has won the admiration of the pope. who
is more pleased with it than that Of any
other country, since it furnishes him with
ready means to spread the Catholic church
throughout Europe and parts of the far
East, an enterprise into which he has
thrown his heartiest energies. In pro-
portion to the number of Catholics in the
various contributing countries, Belgium
and Hungary have sent the most gifts and
everything used in the Catholic service is
there in proiusion.

featuring company of spool silks also suf
fered heavily, as did j. r. Leesver & Co.,
importers of linen threads. The flames
spread with astonishing rapidity after once
breaking out and several accidents occur
red, but none were fatal. Tho stock in
eight buildings was totally destroyed, in
the other buildings facing on Spring,

age by smoke and water. Buildings on
the east side of Broadway are also some.
what injured by some of the flying bricks.
The walls of $40 and SOL fell about 6
O'Clock and the ruins covered Broadway,
stopping travel for several blocks.
The buildings destroyed were valued at
$500, 900, and on these tho insurance is
comparatively small. The damage to the
stock is estimated 81 900, 600, The insur-
anco foots up quite, that amount and are
distributed among nearly all the INSURANCE
companies doing business in New York.
