The Rush for ONCE.

The deluge of Office seekers upon
Gen Harrison continues. Nothing
like it was ever before seen IN this
country pending the assumption of
his Office by a President-elect. I'm
diana must have a Cabinet member, .
said Republican of high rank at
Indianapolis, i"as a breakwater for
Office hunters, and Gen. Harrison him
self knows that unless be names one
the wave will wash him away"
1t is not in Indiana alone that the
flood threatens. From every State
the delegations and petitions are pour
ing in upon the prospective President
No such indecent rush and scramble
as this followed the Democratic trl-
umph four years ago. Even quarter
century of exclusion from the Federal
offices did not lead to grand charge
en- masse of the spoils- seekers upon
the time and attention of the success
full Democratic candidate. They hac
at least decency enough to restrain
their appetites.
1t is, of course, impossible for
Preside..t to give any serious consld
Grafton to matters of governmental
policy and of craftsmanship when s.
beset by place-hunters. AS mer
measure of se,f-defense Gen. Harri
son will be obliged to adopt the policy
of "No removals without cause. -
And the people, in defense of thei
institutions, must radically circum
scribe the appointing power Of th'
President, which is now greater thai
that of any monarch in Europe. "A

A Joke on a Bride.

A pretty old minstrel joke is this one
about Sawyer" There is town called
"Sawyer" and the joke requires that
there should be a railway tunnel just
outside the town, which don't happen
to be there, but a minstrel does not
hesitate to construct tunnel ora hole
railroad system if necessary. The talk
about marriage naturally brings up, the
behavior of a married couple on their
wedding tour.
"Oh, I've been there" says the end
man-''yes; we'll you know the town o.
Sawyer" Yes. the einterlocutor knew it.
"Well, there was a couple on board the
train was on, andwhen we went into
the tunnel, he kissed her.o

got out the tunnel the brakeman pu

look Ont for Them,

Our readers should be on the lookout
for two sharpers who are "doing" the
neighboring counties. Last weeks
Dunkirk Standard gives the following:
Last Friday two sleek fellows went to
the house of Mr.. Dull, an aged gentle
man residing short distance east of the
Walnut Grove church, and in conversa-
tion with Mr.. Dull stated that on ac-
count of farmers keeping their light
ming roads in bad repair, it endangers
their property, and that they had been
sent out bv the insurance companies to
look after the rods, and when they
found them out of repair to get the
name of the residents for the purpose of
knowing where to find the different
places when they returned in the
spring to do the necessary fixing. One
of the rods on Mr.. Dull's house is bro
en- off at distance of about two feet
above the ground. This was shown tC
Mr.. Dull by the men, whereupon they
informed him that they would be
around to fix it, and all that was neces
sary for him to do was to sign blank
so that they would know where to find
him. The old gentleman thinking that
the transaction was straight, signed his
name, and the two fellows hastily made
their departure. Going to the house
Mr.. Dull informed his wife as to what
he had done and she, on finding that hi
had signed his name to their paper, in
formed her son, who, in company witt
few neighbors, started in pursuit o
the fellows. After securing the coun
try the searching party went to Kentol
and found their sought.after men pleas
antly located at the Reece house
Young Dull approached the men ant
demanded of them the paper, but wa
refused by the fellows saying that the.
had no such paper. Persisting in thei
denial, Dull called in the marshal, AM
under threat of searching them, the,
produced the paper, which proved t
be genuine note. It was immediatel.
destroyed and the two swinsilers wer

Writing Roman Numerals.

Everybody who has been to school
knows the Roman numerals, and they
are always used on clocks and watches.
What everybody don't know, however,
is that the representations of tho fourth
figure on the dial of timepiece are
never made as they should be, according
to the arithmetics, for instead of being
" it is invariably written iii. Just
why this is done has never been reason
ably explained. Some watchmakers say
it is to avoid mixing up " with Y and
VI, and that is really the only reason
that l have ever heard. But - ody
seems to know, without looking at a
timepiece, how it is written, and have
never yet met any one who did not,
when asked, write it " instead of iii,
and never yet saw timepiece on the
dial Of which 4 o'clock was written Nv.

On q Oklahoma.
lphlI.h,inhia1


After long waiting, and not little
parliamentary sharp practice, Repre-
sentative Springer has succeeded IN
Dushing through the House OF Repre-
seutRtives his bill 10 open the territory
OF the Oklahoma reservation TO settle,
'ment. Is not likely that the bill waa
be long delayed il the Senate, and the
vast army of irrepressible Oklahoma
boomers may after all, be permitted be-
fore the summer season to occnpy. the
lands which they had so long covered.
The territory embraced in the Okla,
homa reservation originally Included
about 5000 square miles, but the set
ting aside of various lands for the occu-
pancv of the Indians has reduced its
area to about 1900 square miles. 1t has
steadily been claimed hy the "boOmers'
that the use of United States troops to
eject intending settlers from this region
was entirely without warrant of law
Judge after Judge in that distant west
ern section has handed down decisions
favorable to the speedy settlement ol
the territory in question; yet Uncle
Sam and his myrmidons have blocked
the way for nearly ten years-ever since
Oklahoma PAYNE and his followers
started out in 1880 on the first expedi
tion of peaceful conquest. The boomers
have persistently declared that thu
lands of Oklahoma are Government
property, ceded to the United States il
1866 by the Creeks and Seminoles, anC
that no formal declaration to open then
for public settlement was needed; ye
Congress has evidently thought other
wise, since the presence of Unitet
State troops in the territory has operat
ed to check all incursiOns of adventur
Gus colonists whose eyes sparkled a
sight of the rich and well-watered pral
rie lands.
The enactment into law Of thu
; Springer bill would clear away a.
doubts of legality and all pretexts TO
} army interference, and formally reIeas
to the people an area of valuable farm
ing lands considerably larger than tn
. State of Delaware.

A Bold Game-Look Out!

Yesterday a rascal, with sanctimo-
nious air, call on q lady in this city,
who had purchased fine seal skin
cloak, at headquarters recently, and
said he had been sent down by the pro-
pretors to secure the loan of her cloak
as they were about to give an order for
another similar cloak and would like to
have hers to exhibit to the customer as
a sample. The lady thought it strange
they would send without sending a
written request, but had almost made
up her mind to send the cloak when the
thought struck her that il might be a
ruse, and she replied: "Tell your en-
ployers that will call at the store in an
hour or so, and then they can see it,"
The rascal left, and the lady found
cause to congratulate herself on her
ready wit when she called at the
store afterwards and found out
that they had not sent any one to bor-
row her cloak. Be on your guard.
There are many rascals loose, and their
tricks are many and various. Don't LEI
any of them victimize you.-Findlay

Our farmers are complaining because,
as they say, after paying expenses they
have no profit on their corn at % cents
a bushel. That % cents is a profitless
price for corn Is doubtless true; and yet
1t is only when considered relative that
it is low price. Iftbe farmer was per.
mitted to have fair play In the market,
his corn would not bring any more than
1t does now, perhaps, but the % cents
per bushel that he would receive for 1t
would have nearly double the gpurchas.

renders his corn crop profitless at q

A Story of Carlyle.

Imet Carlyle once-the man who en-
riched the language by the word "gig-
manity." He was strolling along Cheyne
walk, where his home was in Chelsea,
and q small boy running across thepav
ment before him tripped and fell, crying,
in the philosophers way. Instead OF
taking compassion upon the poor little
fellow, Carlyle struck him with his stick.
At that I, who had been doing bit of
quiet hero worship, could not contain
myself, and burst out: "Sir, l have read
your Tailor Retailed and was about to
begin on your French Revolution, but
no man who can find it in his heart to
cane an unoffending child can write
books that it's worth my while to read"
Carlyle didn't care, suppose, but there
was a certain amount of satisfaction to
me in freeing my mind.-San Francisco
