" THE COUNTRY AHEAD.

FROM the New YORK tribune.
Notwithstanding the fact that the contri-
buttons to the fresh air fund have largely
exceeded those of all previous years, aggre
eating approximately S20, 900, it has been
found impossible to keep pace with the un
bounded hospitality of the country. Not a
dollar has remained idle in the treasury
since the seasons operations began, and
S,103 children have been sent into the
country but the fund is now exhausted
300 railway tickets are still unpaid for, and
during the last fortnight the manager has
been compelled to postpone several parties
from this year to next and to decline mum
erous invitations altogether. 1t is not too
late, however, to put color into the cheeks
and pulsations of health and vigor into the
impoverished blood of the little ones of the
city tenement houses, and the manager
will make effective use of any additional
contributions which may be made. Let the
treasury be filled again and the delightful
health giving pilgrimages of the young
travellers will begin once more, with Tiny
Tins benediction for town and country
alike: God bless u.s. every one :"

Announcement was made last week that
the United States commissioners at Stand
ing Rock agency had obtained the sigma
lures of the Sioux Indians in sufficient num-
Der to insure the opening of the reserva-
ton in Dakota and Wyoming to settlement.
This means the opening up for settlement
of a territory 1926 miles in length by 40 in
breadth, representing about II 200, 900 of
the %, Ol0,043 acres of the Sioux reserva-
ton. For these lands the governme mt
pays in round numbers $l4, 900, 600 at stat
ed intervals. The country thus opened is
said to be remarkably attractive. The soil
is fertile, the climate healthy, and the graz
ing facilities unequalled They cannot be
entered upon, however, until Congress has
ratified the agreement with the Sioux, fol-
lowed by the Presidents proclamation de
claring the lands open for occupation. This
will put off the grand rush and scramble
for choice places until next spring

a Proper Appointment.



President Harrson's recent appointment
of Miss Clara G. Matthews as postmistress
at Hazelhurst, Miss, recalls famous po
litical incident of five years ago Miss
Matthews is the daughter of j. P. Mat
thews, who was warned by a committee of
Democrats that he must not vote at the APP
preaching election. E. B. Wheeler was
chosen by lot at a meeting of Democrats to
shoot Matthews if he appeared at the polls
Matthews persisted in exercising his rights
as citizen, and was accordingly shot dead
After the murder meeting of Democrats
was held, which adopted resolutions ap
plauding the act and binding all present to
stand by the murderer. The chairman of
this meeting was j. l.. Meade, who was
appointed postmaster before President
Cleveland had been two months in office
The appointment was revoked, but the fact
that it was possible at all shows of what
stuff the Democratic party is made. Pres
ident Harrison, by appointing Miss Mat
thews, has done something to rebuke polit-
zeal murders in the South

connection with an English German syndi-
cate, to control the sugar markets of the
world. According to the plan as outlined,
all the sources of the raw sugar supply, in
GLIDING the cane sugar plantations of Cuba,
Java, etc, and the surplus stocks of unre-
fined beet sugar in Germany and France,
are to be put in bond and so manipulated as
to create a shortage in the worlds supply
and pay % per cent on the investment of
500, 900, 900, which it will take to carry

noon, when for the third time since 1861
the stars and stripes were thrown to the
breeze from the battered old fort. The oc.

The people of Johnstown and the Cone

state of Pennsylvania has withdrawn its
force of workmen, or is soon to do so, with
out having thoroughly overhauled the de
bris of the flood and cleared away its ruins.
Bodies have been dug out of the debris
which fills the cellars every day the past
week, showing, what every one knows, that
there are many under the deposit of earth,
sand, rocks and broken buildings that will
never be brought to light, and the people
think the state ought to clean out all the
cellars and take away all the foul-smelling
rubbish everywhere, Congressman McKin-
ley of Ohio took look at the ruined valley
last week in company with Congressman
Scull, of the district in which Cambria
county is situated, and was surprised to find
that the devastation was so much worse
than newspaper reports could describe it,

The French army has recently perform
ed a remarkable experimental achievement
with success. This was the rapid erection
of an adjustable steel bridge over the Riv.
err Var near Nice, showing how quickly
the work could be done in case of the de
struction of existing bridges in time of
war. The stream is 1876 yards wide at the
point selected. The first train of % cars,
loaded with adjustable bridge material ar
rived on the spot Tuesday morning, July
2d. Work began at noon of that day, and
in spite of terrible rain storm which last
ed night and a day the bridge was finish
ed at noon ON Thursday, when infantry,
cavalry and artillery passed over it in large

construction in case of military necessity.
