"PUcK" PUBLISHES a supplement this
week containing fine full-length por-
traits of President Cleveland and Mr..
Thurman. Mr.. Keppler owed the Adj
ministration an apology for his last
sketch of Mr. Cleveland and the present
excellent picture may be considered
ample atonement for the artistic eccen-
tricities of the former.

THERE is SUCH LARGE population of
Canadian French in Manchester, N. III. +,
mainly employed in the manufacturing
establishments of the city, that news
paper in the French language is about to
be established there This may be all
right If the Canadian Frenchmen can't
read the American papers, there can be
no serious objection to their having a
paper that they can read; but how long
will it require to assimilate these people
with our own under an educational system
that encourages retention, not only Of
their peculiar habits and customs, but of
their own vernacular? OF course. if
the Canucks are unable to understand
"United States as she is spoke" they
can know little or nothing of the laws of
the country, and even the Constitution
must remain an unintelligible mystery
to them. What Is most needed in the
several States with large foreign popula
tions is provision in the public
school system making some knowledge
of the Government, its history, its charac
ter and its statutes compulsory. Only
out of such knowledge is bred the bcs
citizenship.

Non ONLY HAS THE Fisheries Treaty
been rejected, but the Sioux Indian
treaty Is likely to prove failure. The
Indians have got what they consider a
good enough thing os it is in reserva-
tion four times bigger than they have
any use for, and they are evidently not
to be coaxed out of it, Whether coercion
will have to be substituted for coaxing
will have to be determined hereafter; but
the interests of the United States in the
matter should be made supreme. The
Sioux should not be robbed or despoiled
or treated with injustice, but they should
be made to understand that the Govern
mont is more powerful than they, and
has the right of territorial jurisdiction.
1t has been stated that the work
of the commission would have
proved greater success had 1t
been composed Of different material,
or what Congressman McShane of Ne
braska, in a recent interview, called
more influential material. Mr.. Nc
Shane said nothing disparaging to the
members Of the present commission, but
is quite certain that had it been COM
posed of such men as General Crook,
General Miles or Buffalo Bill, the re-
suits would have been different. The
Indians know these men and know that
when they talk business" they "mean
business" They represent mill
tary prowess as well as intellectual
strength, and carry weight with the
"untutored savage" that civilians can
never exercise.

Mr.. STREAToR, the Union Labor candi
date for President, having been ohal
lenged to joint debate by Mr.. Cowdrey,
the United Labor candidate for President,
makes very curt reply, declining the
challenge He says:
While do not believe In Mr.. Georges land
theory, yet in this canvass have not aht1g
onzed you nor your peculiar tax theory. have
left you both alone in your glory, and yet you
are not happy. 1 am not one of those who pro
mote divisions In labor organizations by gettna
up hobbies to ride.
We cannot quite understand Mr..
Streator's logic any more than we can
quite approve his uncalled for display OF
temper. If he is not sin favor OF
promoting divisions in labor organiza,
tions by getting up hobbies to ride" il
seems to us the proper thing for him &c
do is to dismount from his own hobby
and retire from the race.

on Fourteenth street, Rev. DR.. Randolph,
pastor OF the Fourth Street NJ. Z. Church,
officiating. The ceremony was very I'M
ostentatious, only immediate neighbors
and close friends OF the family and the
bride being present, but more charm

celebrated in Wheeling for many a day.
There were no attendants except Miss
Daisy Scott, the brides niece, and Miss
Bessie Rice rs flower girls.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trowbridge left at AGO
on the p, @. & st. L. road for tour in
the East via BalIalo and Niagara. A
shower OF old shoes and rice fell on and
about the carriage rs the happy couple
left and hearty good wishes fairly del

The bride, while an inmate OF Senator
SCott's household, has by her graces OIL
mind and person won warm friends here
who will sincerely hope for her all the
happiness the future can hold.

by telephone that two girls and two men
had come from Jere Clemens's, where a

quoted what the woman had said in the

the man and didn't care, the language
being too vulgar to go into print.

UP AT WEST liberty,
Annual Commencement Of the
Normal School
DRAWS A LARGE AUDIENCE.
Aolass of Five Observation-Disclosures
Handsomely Remembered-other
Exercises Yesterday and
During the Week.

The seventeenth annual Commence
ment OF the West Liberty State
Normal School occurred yesterday,
closing what has been in every
respect the most successful year
the institution has ever known. AS
usual, the day was one of no small inn
portance to the good people of the quiet
little village of West Liberty, located up
on the fertile hills in the northeastern
portion of this county, and it was Of
scarcely less Importance to their friends
living along the line of the various road,
that stretch out in every direction from
the place, through the rich farming
lands of this and Brooke counties.
The visitors commenced to arrive early
and continued to come in unusual )
large numbers until the hour for begin.
ming the commencement exercises. Al
that time there was double row of We
hicles extending nearly the entire length
OF the main street, and the spacious
grounds surrounding the school build
ing, were filed by halfhundred or mort
wagons and carriages. The day was {
perfect one, the bright sky and the cool
inyigorating breeze that blew over the
hills, leaving nothing to be desired il
the way OF favorable weather to add Il
the enjoyment Of the suspicious occa
sion. The charming weather doubtless
had much to do with the large atten
dance, but it is believed, and witt
good reason, too, that the principa
cause was the growing interest in thl
school which was evidenced on all side
by the words Of praise for the school
and its able faculty and the work thai
is being done, and by the close attention
that was given to all the exercises.
The West Liberty cornet band sound
ed the first note Of preparation in front
of General Curtis's hospitable Liberty
house about 8 o'clock. A number OF Sc
lections were admirably rendered, aftel
which the band proceeded to the schoo
house followed by the large concourse o
people that had listened with pleasure t
their playing. Arriving at the building
the large hall was soon uncomfortable
crowded, even the aisles being tillec
with people standing, and SO genera
was the interest that nearly all remained
till the close ofthe two hours occupied
by the exercises, those that left being
easily counted on ones fingers.

Not an Enjoyable Game.

MANSFIELD, O., June LESS than
one hundred people sat in the cold and
witnessed the game between Mansfield
and Wheeling to-day. 1t was not an
enjoyable game, both on account of the
cold and the miserable fielding OF the
home team. The visitors played per.
feet game in the field and won thereby,
as Mansfield made the most hits
and punched them better. The loose
fielding, however, gave the game straight
away to Wheeling. The umpiring OF
Simmons was far from satisfactory to
either band the performance through,
out was uninteresting, The score Was
