INDIAN MISSIONS.

Miss KATHERINE DREXEL. the Phila-
delphia heiress who has given her
millions to the church and has entered
the House of Mercy at Pittsburg to be-
come nun, is said to manifest great in
terest in the condition of the indians.
Some time ago she travelled through the
Indian territory on horseback, in COM
pany with Bishop O'CoNNOR, and as a
result of her visit and Investigations
gave the bishop the sum of s15O,OO0, to
be expended under his directions in es-
tablishing and supporting Catholic mis-
sions among the Indians. 1t is now given
out by those near her that it is Miss
DREXEL'S intention, if permitted, to
devote her life to work, as a Sister of
Mercy, among the Indians, and that she
has made request of the church au-
th0rities that the large fortune she gave
to the church shall be used III maintain
ing Indian mission schools in the North
west, under the immediate care of the
Sisters of Mercy. AS it is most probable
that her wishes will be complied with,
the fact becomes one of great impor-

the Indian problem. With the complete
conversion of the Indians to Christianity
the work of civilizing them is accom-
plished. Inasmuch as the functions of
government are purely secular, the only
hope in this direction is in the efforts of
the churches; and with such fund at
IFS disposal as Miss DREXEL has pro-
vided, the Catholic church is now in con-
ditiOn to do great work.

THE JUICY LEMON.

When JEFFERSON was president he
had relative who had done him many
valuable services, and desired certain
office. The presidents sense of public
duty would not allow him to make the
appointment, and ne wrote the party in
this way:
1.-THE public will never be made to believe
that the appointment Of relative is made
on the ground Of merit alone. uninflueneed
by family views; nor can they ever see with
appreciation Offices, the disposal of which
they entrust to their presidents Tor public
purposes, divided out as family property
But JEFFERSON lived good while ago,
and held good many opinions not in
high esteem among those who operate
at Washington now. The present policy
is to call the roll of kindred, personal
friends and fav0rites, and then find
what places will best suit them. The
offices belong, not only to the party, but
are personal dispensations for those the
president wants to reward OF cultivate.
A brother or two are among the remem-
bered: brother-in-law has good
thing; SAUNDERS. the father of Mrs.
RUSSELL HARRISON, is Oh the docket.
1t is remembered that the presidency
does not come to family more than
once or twice in forty eight years, and it
is lemon to be squeezed.

LACKS VENERATION.

The present emperor of Germany is a
young man, and, like many others, has
not yet learned that youth is not always
synonymous with wisdom. He seems
tohave imbibed prejudice against age,
although his grandfather, VoN MoLTKE.
and some other old men, not to speak of
BISMARCK himself, have been credited
with capacity and efficiency in affairs.
In overhauling his army. last year, the
young emperor put aside eight corps
commanders and great number of
lesser officers. simply because he wanted
young men. He finally stated that age
had no consideration in his eyes, His
motto seems to be, ''Old men must CO."
He amends the old adage of ''Old men
for counsel and young men for action"
In England and Germany some of the
greatest and strongest men are old men.
1t will be fortunate for Germany if the
empire does not have to pay disastrously
for the conceit Of the young emperor.

DISTANT ECHOES.

Out in Minnesota they have novel ex-
pedients for increasing the population.
Lately in Duluth the employees of a
broom factory struck, whereup0n the
proprietor advanced the wages of the
married hands. and told the single men
that unless they were married before
the end of the month they would be
discharged. Marriage was made the
condition of retention in employment at
an increased salary. With such orig
inal and enterprising employers within
her borders, no wonder that Minnesota
expects to double her congressional rep
resentatiOn after the 1900 census shall
have been taken.-Philadelph Record.
The Malthusian theory is threatened
with interference by the proprietor OF
of a great broom factory out in Duluth,
who has increased the wages of all his
married employees, and gave the single
men notice that they would not be
wanted after the end of the month
unless they were married by that time,
in which event they would be retained
at increased pay. With such encour-
agement Duluth will soon become the
Zenith City of the unsalted seas, in ac-
cOrdance with the immortal prophecy
of Proctor KnOtt.-BOston Herald.

THEY MUST WAIT.

Senator WAsHBURN is down in New
York, helping to console Tom PLATT's
gang of spoilsmen by telling them that
President HARRISON is not rushing the
removal business out in Minnesota, and
yet everybody is satisfied. However
much comfort the senator may afford
the PLATT gang, it is quite sure that his
New York talk is not particularly con-
soling to his Minnesota constituency.
He says. what is true, that President
CLEVELAND was considerate enough to
allow Republicans holding federal Of
fees in Minnesota to hold on until their
terms expired. and now President HAIR
RIsON proposes to extend the same
courtesy to the Democratic officials.
Senator WAsHBURN has recently had
an interview with the president. and
probably speaks by the card. But
what gall and wormwood it must be to
the grand army of WAsHBURN workers
who hung around the caucus room last
winter, to know that they will have to
wait until near the close of the HARRI-
SON administration before the soup is
served

That the inexperienced doctor is al

That there would be fewer gorgeously

That the departures for Europe are

That fewer brokers or more real busi-

THE sioux BOOMERS.

The short-sighted boomers who are
collecting in considerable numbers on
the Sioux reservation may yet prove
the means of retarding, if not wholly
defeating, the opening of the reserva-
ton. There is already quite camping
ground of settlers at Pierre. They are
gathering in force at Chamberlain and
other points, and the danger is that
they will be induced to commit some
overt act which will destroy the whole
plan for opening the reservation. It
will take some time for the commission
to negotiate with the Indians for their
lands. and if the negotiations are sue
cessful, still further time will be con-
sumed in the necessary formalities be-
fore the reservation can be declared
open for settlement. 1t will require a
good deal of patience for the boomers to
hang around the ou tsklrts Of the reser-
walton so long without indulging in
some indiscreet conduct. Yet, if they
can manage to hold their souls in pa
tience, all will be we'll. Otherwise, the
jig will be up.

THE EMPEROR SPEAKS.
Will Shoot Rioters but Protect
Quiet Strikers.

quiet strikers.
BERLIN, May 14.-At Bochum to-day
the strikers who drove off the miners
who wished to return to work at the
Prince Regent colliery yesterday were
0verawed by the troops. The employers
have sent a deputation to Berlin to in
terview the emperor Wednesday. Large
quantities of English and Belgian coal
are arriving at Essen. The strikers in
terview with the emperor to-day lasted
fifteen minutes. Minister Herrfurth
was present. The emperor gravely
listened to the grievances of the
strikers and occasionally asked
questions. In reply to their
complaints he said that he took deep
personal interest in the welfare of his
subjects in Westphalia, as he did in the
welfare of all his subjects. He had
carefully followed the struggle. and he
had ordered thorough inquiry into the
facts. He warned the delegation against
the plOttings of political, and especially
Socialist, agitators. He grieved that
there had been riOting, and said that it
was impossible to tolerate such conduct.
.'Tell your fellow-wOrkmen," he added,
.'that the emperor himself, if necessary,
will order the troops to batter and shoot
rioters, while if they are quiet the en-
peror will protect Them He hoped
that the diSputants would settle their
differences without government med
ding. The Berlin Post urges the gov
ernment to arbitrate between the mine
owners and the strikers.

OUR STEEL CRUISERS.

The Charleston, the new steel cruiser,
is now on its trial trip-an event that
possesses special interest and impor-
tance for the double reason that the yes
sci has the highest engine power of any
ship in the naval service and that she is
the first war vessel ever built on the
Pacific coast. She is of $3.50 tons dis
placement, and her engines are guaran-
teed to produce 1000 horse power under
forced draught. With the exception of
the crank and two shafts made at Essen.
all the steel used in the Charleston is of
domestic manufacture. The beams and
the outside plating we're made at Pitts
burg. but the pistons and other forging
for the engines, the frames and all the
steel c astings for the hull and engines,
including such castings as stern post
weighing 11,130 pounds and a stem
weighing 13.4s0 pounds, were furnished
by the Pacific Rolling mills at San
Francisco. The same company have

A REVISED STORY
OF the Attempt Upon the Life of
the Gar.

LONDON, May 14.-A dispatch from
tempt to take the life of the czar at
Gatzchina last Friday, news of which
was telegraphed from Paris yesterday.
The story In circulation in Vienna
is that the czar was walking
in the garden of the palace when he was
approached by an officer who fired re-
vOlver at him, slightly wounding HIM in
the forearm. The guards near at hand
rushed forward to seize the man, but
before they could reach him he placed
the pistol to his temple and shot HIM
self dead. The car has ordered
NJ. de Giers, brother of the Russian
minister of foreign affairs, to proceed
to Livonsa aud report to him
personally the attitude of the Luther
ans in that district and the causes of
their discomfort with the religious ad-
ministrati0n in their region. Herr
Gnauth, a prominent councillor of Gies-
sen, and widely known as leading
atheist, has been elected mayor of that
city. The religious element has made
a gread outcry against his taking
his seat, and it is doubtful
his election. He was elected by his fel-
low councillors without a dissenting
vote. and solely upon the ground of his
administrative fitness. A potter at Gros
Lychterfeld has been sentenced to a
months Imprisonment at hard labor tor
insulting Crown Prince William. aged
seven years. The young prince, ac-
companied by his nurse and one
of his brothers, was passing the
potteries in a carriage when the
potter, standing by the roadside, applied
an insulting epfthet to him. The Cologne
Gazette says that Count Won Waldersee
is going almost Immediately to Cux-
haven to chose the positions Of two new
fortified harbors at the mouth of the
Elbe. The paper also strteS that system
of mines is projected in connection with
the new harbors will enable the garri-
son to close the river against any ves-
SET. The North German Gazette denies
the truth of these statements and adds
that even if they were true their an
nouncement to the world would be i'm
polite.

THE TIPPING NUISANCE.

The last number of Puck has an elab-
crate cartoon illustrating the phases of
the tipping business, which seems to be
much greater nuisance in the East
than as yet in the West. 1t is an i'm
p0rtation from the old world and an
outgrowth of the caste system. 1t is
badge of menialism and an abasement
to the recipient. 1t is training for
beggary, and saps the manhood, leaving
only fawning or insolence. The car
toon would indicate that it is spreading
to every phase of life. 1t is not alto
gether the fault of the fellows who
take the little bribes. for they are often
paid very little by their employers, ex-
pecting them to blackmail the public.
This is specially the case ON sleeping
cars and at hotels-those in the East, of
course. One of these car porters said
he often got $500 month from his vic
tins. 1t is a practice that should be
discountenanced and discarded in this
country. 1t can be broken up if reso-
lutte peop lie will refuse to countenance it.

THE NORTHWEST AHEAD.

The Montana horse spurted forward
to another great victory at the Ken
lucky races yesterday, and now the
loss of their du cats. The track was
heavy, and it was supposed that the
Montana colt would be at a disadvan-
tage; but, as it turned out. he skinned
that Kentucky mud just as swallow
skins the bosom of the lake, and came
under the wire a good deal further
ahead of his noted antagonist than at
the previous race. Spokane's victory
yesterday is additional demonstration
that our Northwestern horses possess
all the winning qualities, because they
are raised in climate that gives bone,
