BaltiuOra Bellies.

One of the latest tads of Baltimore girls
is to dress in black from head to foot, with
veil and gloves to match, and then, bor-
rowing a neighbor's child, show it around
the city. OF course, the natural SUPPOSE
tion is that the child is not borrowed, and
the young lady is a widow. As widow
is generally supposed to be ready to recon-
tract matrimony, the sympathies of the
susceptible young man are readily aroused,
first by curiosity as to how long the child's
father has been dead then what he died
of, and, since the widow seems to mourn
for him, how she must have cared for the
dear departed. And, if she did care for
him, why might she not care also for an
other, and might he not be the fortunate
individual, especially if the first husband
left cash enough for the support of two, or
three, as the case might be? OF course,
when acquaintance follows, the apparent
widowhood can be easily and innocently
explained, and the desired happy result
follow.

4 CONSPIRACY.
An Attempt to Force the Mile Lacs
Reservation Open to Settlers

Mora (Minn.), June 18th = Special
Agents Gardner and Ash, who were de-
tained by the Government to investigate
the causes leading to the Indian troubles
at the Mile Lacs, have completed their
work and will report to the department
that the outbreak was the result of q con-
spiracy on the part of settlers and real es.
tate spectators TO hasten the opening Of
the reservation to settlement The Mile
Lacs Reservation consists of several thou
sand acres of the most valuable land in
Minnesota, and at present there are upward
of a hundred squatters on its border.
The squatters have been planning for
years to get the Indians off the reservation,
and to that end have furnished the Indians
with large quantities of raw alcohol, and
encouraged them in every way to commit
depredations. The scheme of having
troops sent there was part of the conspir-
acy planned and worked successfully, with
view of increasing the feeling of hostility
between the whites and Indians, so that
Congress at its next session would take
steps for the removal of the tribe, and
throw the reservation open to settlement.

THE French Government has sent out
to all It's agents and officials circular in
sisting that they shall use their best en-
deayors to prevent the emigration Of
skilled laborers from France. France is
not alone in this movement--in fact, all
the nations OF Europe are disturbed con-
cerning the outgoing Of skilled workmen.
The paupers and criminals they are will
ing enough to part with, but the worthy
artisans they wish tn keep for two reasons
first, they have need of them in the in
creasing manufactures of Europe; in the
second place, they do not wish the Ameri-
cans TO be taught in mechanic arts TO be-
come as skilled as the Europeans, for it
makes the United States more formid-
able competitor in commerce. We should
be ready TO second the movement. So
long as the skilled workman of Europe
comes to Us from his many years of hard
apprenticeship to his trade, the difficulty
will remain Of getting American youth
into the trades, or once there OF bringing
them up TO high state of proficiency.

THE fool-killer is wanted in Kansas.
Here we have news of minister OF that
State making such an ass of himself As to
say, in speech delivered in Philadelphia,
that ne escaped from the Johnstown dis
aster-he being on visit there at the
time-by needing the warning that the
dam had broken, while those who did not
do so and flee "were drowned and went TO
hell" 1t is to the credit of his audience
that it rose in confusion. and that but for
the coolness of some leaders the man of
the pulpit would have been handled
roughly. Even if he believed most sim
cerely that hell was the fate of those over
taken by the flood, it was in the worst pos
sible taste for him to say so in the pres
ence Of the friends and relatives of the
unfortunates.

WHAT wonderful example Of sustained
vitality is Mr.. Gladstone. Here he Is
nearly eighty years Of age, and yet max
ing the circuit Of a campaigning field with
almost the vigor and freshness of youth.
Since 1882 this wonderfully preserved
statesman has been in the forefront of
English politics, always busy, always
strong, and never discouraged by reverses
on one hand or jubilant over successes on
the other. He is to-day leader, as he
was half century ago. There seems 10
be no abatement Of his prescienoe, no
diminution of MS intellectual powers, no
serious decay OF the physical man, and no
loss of political eagerness to carry his party
through all the battles it must encounter.
A wonderful man is Gladstone

tary Blaine offered the appointment to sue
ceed Minister DENLY as Minister to China
to Admiral Schufeldt (retiredl. The Ad-
miral, while not declining the mission,
asked time TO consider the matter, hesi-
tatlng on account OF the loss of his pay as a
retired naval officer that would be involved

and it is thoughtto be very doubtful, Kas-
SOD, of Iowa, one of the Samoan Commits
sioners, is spoken OF for the Mission.

WASHINGTON, June 1Sth.-The following
telegram was received by Adjutanr, Cen
eral Kelton this morning from General
Miles at San Francisco: "The following
was received from the commanding officer
OF the Department of Arizona: Referring
to the recent reports in the newspapers re-
garding the alleged killing of Mexicans by
Indians IN Sonora, 800 miles south of the
international line, l am advised by Gov
ernor Torres that after full Investigation
made by him he finds there is no truth
whatever in the report"
Hypothetical Cases.
WASHINGTON, June 1Sth.-The Attorney
General, in letter to Secretary Window,
declines to decide the appeal from the rul-
ing of Solicitor of the Treasury Hepburn,
that Catholic professor engaged in Europe
cannot be allowed to come over, The
declination is based on the ground that the
Department of Justice never decided hypo-
thetlcal cases, but waits for cases to come
regularly. This is considered a snub to
Hepburn, as his ruling was on a hypothet-
ical case, the professor not having en-.
deavored to enter this country.

Upon the death of Leonard SWEET, a
distinguished citizen of the West, state
ment was made by some of the press that
Mr.. SWEET made the speech of nomination
for Mr.. Lincoln in the Convention of 1860.
The s.. Louis Gio5e-Democrdt promptly
corrects the error and declares that even
the Inter- Ocean is surprisingly wrong,
which said that Mr.. SWEET seconded the
nomination. As a matter of fact he was
not in the Convention. He was in the
lobby and worked for Lincoln's Romina-
tion. There were no nominating speeches
made for any OF the candidates Norman
s. Judd, of Chicago, afterward Minister
TO Germany, placed Lincoln in nomina-
ton, saying: AZ desire, on behalf of the
delegation from Illinois, to put in nomina-
tion as n candidate for President of the
United States, Abraham Lincoln, OF Il
linois" And that was all there was of it,
except that the Convention cheered itself
hoarse All the candidates we're named
with equal brevity. Lincoln was also
placed in nomination for the Ohio delega-
ton by Columbus Delano, and it was sec
onded by William Nj. Stone. 1t is as well
to be accurate in these matters, and not to
permit any confusion in recalling political
history.
