A Jump OF $50 Feet.

CINCINNATI. April l2.-Meredeth Stanley,
of this city, a well-known athlete and
bridge-jumper, who has challenged Brodie,
markable leap on record. 1t was from the
famous high bridge on the Cincinnati
Southern road over the Kentucky river.
The height is 2S5 feet. He selected place
where the water was twelve feet deep, and,
attired in silk tights and slippers, leaped
into the air, and. doubling up his body like
a bali, fell to the water, and a moment
later bounded to the surface, when he was
quickly seized by assistants in boat. He
coughed blood little while. but soon re-
covered and took the train for Cincinnati.
He says the feat is done by knowing how
and the possession Of perfect self-confidence.
He escaped without breaking the skin, and
to-day says he feels as well as ever. This
bridge is the highest in the world except

Special the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April l2.-Secretary Rusk
said to-day that he had received a great
many inquiries concerning the number and
value of beef cattle ON the hoof on the
markets of Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City
and other local packing points, as well as
on the ranches. These inquiries grow out
of the effort being made in various States
to secure legislation looking to the sup
preston of the dressed beef traffic The
statistician of the department.. who was
referred to for information on the subject,
said that the department had no data on
which to base reports which would tend to
show whether or not the charges were true
that the dressed-beef packers in the slaugh-
tering centers were engaged in depressing
the price of beef on the hoof on the
ranches, and in manipulating the
price of the product to the con-

inquiries for data of this character,
embracing period of ten years, but no in
formation on the subject has ever been Sc
cured by the Department of Agriculture,
nor does the census give any adequate in
formation upon which 10 base an estimate.
Secretary Rusk intimated that, owing to
the great Importance of this subject at the
present time, and the many outcries which
are being made by local butchers all over
the country against the dressed-beef traffic.
he contemplated carrying on an investiga-
ti0n which would furnish parties interested
with authentic information, which might
be used in times such as these. II is prob
able that the State agents of the depart
ment may he authorized to report upon the
number and value of these cattle in the

raised or fed. from month to month. and
that hereafter information will be obtain

MACHINE POLITICIANS.

The presidents disposition to ignore
some of the old machine politicians
would be better appreciated if he did
not turn right around and bestow his
favoring smile upon others of even great
er disrepute. The snub that CHAUNcEY
[. FILLEY got from tine administration is
a case in illustration. The st. Louis man
is Of the most ultra machine type, and
when it got abroad that he was in bad
odor with the administration, respectable
people began to praise the president for
leaked out that the administration
animosity to FILLEY was prompted by
RICHARD G. KERENs, who has a sscinch"
OH the Missouri and Arkansas
appointments. the matter assumed a
different aspect. This man KERENs
belongs to the old gang of star-routers
whose malodorous caperS are familiar
to all. He was invited to the presidents
Thanksgiving dinner, from which DUD-
LEY was excluded, and has ever since
occupied place in the kitchen cab
met. In the case of FMLEY's applica-
ton for the st. Louis postoffice, KERENs
has had more influence with the admin
istration than the whole Republican
party in Missouri. FILLEY has the in
dorsement Of all the Republican mem
bers of the Missouri legislature and Of
the state central committee, still
KERENs had the presidents ear and has
kept FnLEY from getting anything that
was worth having.

SHAPING GRESHAM.

The rapid work Of getting Democrats
out of the mail service and Republicans
in is credited to the efficiency need.
Men who have had four years. training
are put out often to give place to new
and inexperienced men to improve the
service. Among the back numbers re-
stored the case Of PAUL VANDERvooR
is illustrative. He was the chief clerk
of the railway mail service under the
ARTHUR administration. 1t was shown
that in one fiscal year he was absent
from his duty 269 days, signing his re-
ports in blank and leaving it for depu-
ties to fill them up. His neglect of duty
was so notorious that Judge GRESHAM,
WHO was then postmaster general, caused
his removal. Removed for incompe-
tence, he is now given still better posi-
ton. Some excuse, may, perhaps, be
had for this in the desire to get slap at
GRESHAM. The president and BLAINE
will take great satisfaction in getting in
work on that line. But he couldn't
have got back into WANAMAKER's
store if he had been discharged for in
cOmDetency.

THE CENTENNIAL ORGIES.

A Minnesota legislative banquet
could not have beaten that Centin-
NAL supper they had in New York the
other night. The facts are leaking out
by degrees, but enough has already
been learned to stigmatize it as an ever
lasting disgrace to New York city as
well as to the people who participated
in it. And yet there are probably some
eXtenuating circumstances which are
entitled to consideration. 1t was time
when everybody was feeling good and
disposed to give full play to an eXuber-
ant feeling. In order to impress the
strangers who were within their gates
with the magnificence of the me-
trOpOlis. the snobOcracy who had
charge Of the entertainment thought
it the proper thing to fill the table up
with the costlieSt wines that the world
produces. 1t was the first and last OPP
portunity most of the guests would have
to smack such rare and costly vintage,
so they went at it with Zest born of
the occasion. That they got drunk be-
fore the supper was half over was only
the natural operation Of the law of bib
ulatiOn. When the guests got too drunk
to drink any more the walters proceeded
to improve their opportunity by refresh
ing their outlets with what was left. so
that by the time the clock was striking
the hour of midnight there was an
orgy Of no mean proportions in that
banquet hall.
OF course 1t is a national scandal and
the people of the whole country are HUI
inflated by this disrespectful method of
paying tribute to GEORGE WASHING
TONS memory. But it all comes of put
ting the centennial arrangements into
the hands of idiotic dudes, and it goes a
long ways toward confirming Mrs JULIA
WARD HowE's proposition that polite
society is not polite.

sIssETON RESERVATION.

An earnest movement Is making III
the counties cut by the SissetOn reser-
walton in Dakota to have this also
thrown open to settlement. 1t is the
only Indian district in Eastern Dakota,
and as the possessors of it are said to be
willing to take lands in severalty and
sell the rest to the government, it is evil
IDENTIFY desirable that this should be
done and the lands opened to white set
Element. The reservation comprises a
little more than 100000 acres, and is
somewhat peculiar in its shape, reSem-
bling the letter V, the lower point ex-
tending nearly down to Watertown, and
the broad part taking in nearly all OF
Roberts county and parts Of Day. Grant,
Marshall, Sargent and Richland, mostly
excellent farming land. The Indians
number less than 1900, and are per-
haps the most civilized and reputa-
BILE of any in Dakota. They have
schools and churches, local gov
eminent, and are reasonably indus
trious for Indians. They need and can
cultivate but fraction of the land. Ii
there are 500 families, which is not far
from the number, they have an average
of 5000 acres to each family. 1t is OF
no use to them, and it would be better
to reduce them to contiguous settlement,
each forced to cultivate farm for the
means of subsistence not furnished by
the government. The movement max
ing to secure the opening would seem
to have good promise of success. A
convention OF delegates from all the
interested counties, has been in session
at Watertown the past two days, and
no doubt judiciouS measures will be
put on foot to insure the desired end.
The government, however, will not be
likely to allow intruders who 60 on the
lands before opened, to remain, and no
boom of that sort should be encouraged.

NOVEL FINANCIERING.

Schemes to raise money in France
generally have a lottery feature, and
when an ingenious device is had also, a
popular Juror is apt to bring out the old
stockings. There is a shortage in the
finances of the exposition. owing to
more extended features than the esti-
mates were made for, and in conse-
quence plan is arranged to secure 30
O0O.O 900 more francs. Each share at 25
francs, in addition to Is admission tick
cts, gives chance in 81 drawings, with
prizes amounting to 100000 francs, the
last drawing not to take place till 1868,
when all the shares not included in any
drawing will be repaid at par. Most
people in this country would be slow to
invest in drawing seventy-four years
off. The novelty of the thing probably
attracts, as it is said that the shares will
command premium as soon as issued.
