and the progress of events to remove IT.
At last the main steps necessary TO

have been tax en-. The consent OF the
Indians has been safely secured.
Absolutely nothing remains except mat
tiers of form. And one Of these matters
of form, as the administration views it is
the reference Of the agreement made
with the Indians for ratification. This
will follow in due course. There is pos
lively no doubt on this score. There
is positively no question that congress at
its coming. session will promptly ratify
the agreement. Then there will only

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.

The total amount of money outstanding
in circulation on February /, according
to the treasury computation, was $2,40S,
1892. This is $4,000, 900 greater
than two years ago on the same date,
thereby noting an increase in the med
ium of exchange of commodities some
what commensurate with the increasing
population. The money in circulation
is divided as follows: Gold coin, $780,
116, 365; silver dollars, S5S, 574 sci; sub
sidiary silver, $52, 440, 119; gold certifi-
Gates, $3.50, 1856, sol; silver certificates,
S245, 3S7 ,438; United States notes, $317,-
pa, SIS; National bank notes, 1928, $780,
799. The silver of the country stands
in the ratio of three to five with the gold
circulation. These are figures that will
be studied with some interest as new
secretary takes his place in the treasury
department. The expansion of currency
in four months has been about $50,000,
900, which has been accomplished by
bond purchases and has removed all
fears Of money stringency during the
spring months. This is fortunate cir
cumstance for the new administration,
as it will give General Harrison and his
financial adviser ample time to formu
late and put in operation such a policy
as will steadily continue national pros

ward, when letter came to the old place,
it was not sent to Sidney, but was given
to Foreman Franklin OF the paint shop,
where the lad was at work. The boy
heard that the brennan had a letter for
him and asked for it. Franklin. who had
heard the talk about the boy, but did
not think that there was anything in it,
said jokingly that he had letter for Mrs.
Hammond, and showing Sidney the on
velope, asked if it was for 'him." His
evident embarrassment and confusion set
Mr. Franklin to thinking, and before he
had reached any conclusion the lad made
a complaint that twenty dollars had been
stolen from his room just after pay day
The complaint was taken to the police
and in looking up the case they learned Of
the talk about the new apprentice. The
letter fro IN Ohio was opened and found to
be a pathetic con graduation and hope
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond would be
happy.
Saturday was Sidney's last day in the
West Side car-shops. The police had in
terviewed young man who had roomsd
with him for few weeks, and be told
strange story. During all that time the
suspected lad had been the last to retire
and always extinguished the light before
retiring. The two occupied separate
couches, and the second lad was ready to
swear that in all that time he never once
awoke up in the morning without finding
Hammond up and dressed and ready to
leave the room. This, taken with the
other rumors, led the police to take charge
of the boy, and since Sunday night the
people about the boarding house have
seen nothing OF him The story as given
above was told the police by Miss HAM
mond herself. Il Is said that tbs girl is
not under arrest, but that the police have
simply taken her in charge, and have COM
municated with her parents in Ohio, and
that she viii certainly return 70 them.

THE CRISIS AT PARIS.

Hartford courant.
While anything is possible in French
politics, there are at least two good rea
sons for expecting that the awkward
situation created by the upset of the
Floquet ministry will be tided over
somehow without any sensational catas-
| trophe. One of these is d. Carnot and
the other is the exposition.
| III. Carnot is the constitutional presi'
| dent OF tho republic, and all accounts
agree that he has no thought of resign
| ing. He has borne himself in his Office
with dignity and discretion; he is not
personally unpopular; he has-so far as
| is known-the Amy behind him as
against any fomenter OF revolution.
Boulanger or another; and it is for the
interest of the senators and deputies to
second his efforts to stralghten out the
present tangle and carry the country
along until next falls general elections.
The exposition is just now the apple OF
the Paris shopkeepef's eye. For years
he has been thinking of it by day and
dreaming of it by night. 1t is to bring
the foreign millionaires in focks to the
very door of his shop: it is to enable him
to recoup his losses in the dull times
which have been trying his soul; it is to
make him rich. He is not going to let
any political disturbance brighten the
foreign millionaires away and cheat him
out of his profits if he can prevent it.

correspondent of the New York Times,

Some nervousness is felt about Tues
day of next week. the anniversary of
the proclamation of the second republic
the republic of 184S. But the odds are
that nothing of particular will happen.
Latterly Paris is never more quiet and
well behaved than on the days when she
is expected (by the alarmists) to begin
tearing up the pavements.
NJ. Meline, according to the latest dis
patch at hand, has reported to the pres
ident that he cannot make cabinet.
He undertook the task reluctant
ly, under a species of moral
duress, and is probably glad enough
to be quit of it. The chair Of the
chamber is coign of vantage just now
compared with the presidency of the
council. 1t is reported that NJ. Maurice
Rouyier is now to try his hand at the
construction of patchwork ministry.
Perhaps, under existing circumstances,
DIR. Clemenceau and his fellow radicals
will show themselves kinder to this gen
tleman than they did the last time.

Caldwell News,

Caldwell News,
Some jealous Kansans are pressing
Senator Plumb to accept place in the
cabinet Of President Harrison. The state
of Kansas is represented in the senate
chamber of the United states with more
ability than is any other state in the
union. The venerable senators from
Vermont are distinguished, one of them
as great constitutional lawyer, the other
as an accomplished economist, but SEN
ators Edmunds and Morrill, have both
done their best work and are reaping
honors, not earning them.
T he distinguished senator from
Ohio, Mr. Sherman, is eminent for
calm Judgment on all matters per-
tanning to the financial condition
of the government and country. The
state of Iowa is served by senator of
exceptional industry and ability in the
person of Mr.. Allison. But no state in
union has in the senate chamber at
Washington two senators SO distin
guished and so able to serve their con-
stituents as has the state of Kansas.
That is well-let it alone! All who
know Senator Plumb know his eminent
ability, his large, practical, roundabout
sense, his unsurpassed industry, his rip
ened experience, and his entire sympathy
with the people whom he represents.
All Kansans know that he is the right
man in the right place, They should
know that Plumb in the senate, every
citizen of Kansas has friend ready and
willing to serve him effectively and with
pleasure.
Senator Plumb is as near the hearts of
the western people as any man has been
since the death of Abraham Lincoln. He
is an Abraham Lincoln kind OF man.
We don't want him in the cabinet.
When Kansas undertakes to do without
Plumb in the senate, she wants him in
the white house. That's where Kansas
wants Senator Plumb. Let alone over
gentlemen, and the way is
plain and easy.
The presidency is coming westward.
Lincoln, Garfield, Harrison, Plumb.
How do our readers like the sound of
that! We like it ourselves, and recon-
mend it to the careful, cautious, sober
and permanent consideration of our leg
islative and other friends at Topeka.

J Before Hiram Wallace had reached his
( fourteenth year he had performed two
deeds, which brought him into high repute
In his native place.
/ The first was deed OF daring.
/ Rufus Stacy, his best friend, and he had
been sitting on the summit OF a craggy
rock by the river, trying 10 catch fish Not
one would bite. and losing patience they de-
cided TO move further up the stream. When
Rufus rose, his foot slipped, and he fen into
the water, which az this point was ten feet
deep at least. The itnminenco of Rufus
danger stimulated Hiram's wits.
He knew be would rise not far from the
spot where he went down. There was no
rope, boat or plank by which 70 save him;
but with G cool head, and courage far eI-
ceeding his years. ne climbed like panthor
up large oak tree, growing close 20 tho
rock, and made his way cut upon branch
which extended over tho water. he then
seized tight hold Of the end Of i; with both
hands and let himself down. The branch
bent under his weight, so that bis boots
touched tho water. When Rufus came %
the surface, he obeyed Hiram's shout Of
command 70 catch hold Of his feet With
Rufus clinging 20 him. he managed 70 swing
back into the tree, and from there they de-
scended TO the ground. II was q wonderful

The Richness Of Oklahoma.

From the Detroit Journal.
If the descriptions of the territory of
Oklahoma are not overdrawn, the eager
ness to open it up to settlement is easy to
account for 1t is rich and well watered;
the country rolling prairie; the grass
crop finer than the famous blue grass of
Kentucky; the climate almost perfect;
snow seldom seen, and billiards I'M
known. Two railroads already cross it:
fine streams are found everywhere, and
cattle thrive without care. Over this
vast range of opulent agricultural posi-
bilities few half-breeds roam hunting,
fishing and making little use of the soil.
1t Is acountry concerning which adefi-
mite understanding should be had with
the Indians, vino hold it by treaty. 1t
should be added to the resources of the
country. But until then no one has a
right to go there, and the government is
justified in keeping everybody away, so
that all may have an equal chance the
moment it is available to the white man.
