respondence which has taken place be-
tween this government and the govern
ment Of Great Britain in regard to the
dismissal of Lord SackvilIe West az
minister of Great Britain to The Uni

Lord Salisbury was unwilling to act on
the strength of the Murchison letter
alone, not deemiDg it sufficient to war

On December fifth last. Mr. Phelps
orwarded to Secretary BayaId, a copy
of a note to Lord Salisbury in which

Around the outside OF the medicine
lodge horizontal poles were placed, and
to these the presents which the ghosts
were to distribute were suspended, con-
sisting OF blankets, lcggins. beaded
moccasins, tobacco bags and eagle
feathers. After remaining for some
time in view they were removed and
placed about the ghosts in the lodge.
The relatives now entered the lodge
to commune with the departed spirits,
and the presents were distributed to the
favored ones.
The squaws sung and cried, and made
great exhibition of their grief They
cut their flesh with knives, suffering
excruciating pains without murmur to
appease the wrath of the evil spirit, SO
that their loved ones may be iayful in
the happy hunting grounds.
Upon the conclusion of tho feast the
lodge was taken down and the naked
ghosts left standing.

How Is Looks to the HOOsiers.

The question of who is proper
man for the Democrats tt select for
Senator is attracting notice in
other States.
On this question the Iudianapo-
Us Sentinel, the leading Democratic
paper of that State has this to saw:
If the Ohio Democrats shall be
wise enough to send John III.
Thomas, of Springfield, to the L. S.
Se' ate, their fellow Democrats
throughout the country will have
mere reason to feel proud of them
than they have had for many wears
back. Mr. Thomas Is LEADING
manufacturer, Il man of high
character and fine intelligence, an
earnest advocate of a tariff for
revenue only, and thoroughly
sound Democrat. There is no man
In Ohio better qualified to represent
that State creditably in the United
States Senate.

Feminine APTITUDE.
4 Young Womnn In West Virginia Who
Runs Saw-Mili.

| u foung woman In West Virginia Who
Runs a Saw-Mili.
Miss Eliza Jane Easter, a very es;i-
mable young lady and daughter of
Michael Easter, justice of the peace
for Scott district, owns saw and grist-
mill on Camp creek, says the Boone
County CIV. Va.) Record, which sho
operates in person, conducting the bust
ness and running the machinery in a
manner which would put to shame many
a dusty miller" of the storncr sex.
While she did not engage in tho busi-
ness of saving logs and grinding corn as
matter OF choice, but rather was
brought into it by force of circum-
stances, tho young woman has taken a
great interest in her work and has
shown remarkable business capacity and
physical endurance.
Formerly engaged in teaching school,
Miss Easter had managed TO save q con-
siderable amount of money, which she
was induced to loan for investment in
the milling business, and, eventually, in
order to recover the amount she had ad-
vanccd, was compelled to assume tho
proprietorship of the mill. Entering
upon the responsibility of the manage
mont, She soon found that without the
immediate supervision of an Interested
party but little work WAS accomplished.
Constant repairs were necessary about
the machinery and engine. Tho crown
sheet was burned ard there was too
much monkey business among the
hands. She had employed an engineer,
sawyer and miller, but, to use her
own language as expressed to Record
reporter, when tho boiler would have
steam enough to run the saw 1t would
be found necessary to lace belt, and
by the timo that job was done steam had
run down, and thus hours would be con-
sumed without saving line"
So Miss Easter determined to enter
tho mill herself and take personal
charge, which she did about two years |
ago, AID has ever since run the engine, |
saw and buhrs with her own hands in |
an admirable and profitable manner.
She has become an expert mechanic,
and the products of her mill enjoy
reputation equal to that of the best.

INDIAN GHOST FEAST.
A Ceremony Held In Great Reveren
Among the Sioux.

A Ceremony Held In Great Reverence
Among the Sioux.
Not long ago several hundred Sioux
Indians held grand ''ghost feast" in the
vicinity OF Fort Lincoln, Dakota, and the
few whites who witnessed the ceremo-
MES were highly interested.
This curious feast is held in great
reverence among the Sioux, but it will
soon be abolished by order of the In
dian Bureau, and, like the great "sun
dance" be buried with the traditions of
the past.
The feast is given by the relatives Of
those who have died or been killed in
battle. At the Fort Lincoln feast there
were six GHOSTS" represented by six
stakes about four feet in length, set
up in the ground within the medicine
lodge.
A piece of buckskin was sewed over
the top Of tho stakes, upon which were
marked eyes, nose and mouth, to rep
resent the head. Fifteen Indians, with
the big medicine man of tho village,
were seated in teepee, smoking, but
rarely speaking TO each other. Some live
Goals were brought and placed before
the medicine man, who threw upon
them Wild sage brush, and holding some
pommican in the smoke chanted weird
song.
Littlo children were brought in and
given this meat to eat, and some had
their ears pierced. The pemmican was
also given to the Others in the lodge,
and some was placed at the feet of the
ghosts.
Outside tho lodge hundreds of In
dams were gathered, forming small,
circular groups OF dozen or So bucks,
yguawo and children In their respective
places. y. .....-

Coz. Il. BURT GRrBB is reported
as saying that it cost him $4,000 to
run for Governor in New Jersey.
He probably did not spend more
money than the Republican work
ers insisted they would earn by
getting votes for him that might
otherwise be cast for his opponent
or not cast at all. Ills legitimate
expenses should not have been So
900. 1t is one of the strongest
points in favor of the Australian
4 ballot system that it reduces the
\ honest personal expenditure of
candidates to a trifling minimum,
and makce it possible for men of
brains to be elected to important
offices without reference to the
}engtia of their purses or the finan-
cial support of their friends or
backers.-PhiFa Record.
There is no reason why the Aus
trailian system should not be a
dopted in Ohio as well as in other
States. The expense o5 running
for Office is one of the worst feat
ures ofour present system for the
reason that it works a discrimina-
tion between fitness and wealth
and ut the same time makes the
corruption of voters an easy task.

The Educational Campaign.

We notice with some degree OF
surprise that the New York Sun
has mentioned Governor Campbell
MS a candidate for the Vice Presi
dercy. Our surprise is due to the
fact that the following paragraph
appeared in the New York Sun,
Aug. 90, at the time of the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Campbell:
"The Democratic State Conven-
ton in.Ohio yesterday appears to
have completed all the arrange
ments for enlarging the Republican
majority in that State and for
elpcting Foraker and IIalstead.
The tariff smashers had the upper
hand in the Convention, and car
ried everything their own way.
They want another educat ional
campaign apparently; and Demo-
Gratis elsewhere can look on and see
how they come out"
The Suns idea was that the nom
nation of Mr.. Campbell, who had
voted for the Mills Bill and for free
wool, and who had indorsed Mr..
Cleveland's message, would newt
ably enlarge the Republican ma
jority in Ohio, elect Foraker Gov
