Blaine's Reciprocity Ideas.

1t makes Very little difference
whether Mr.. Blaine has converted the
President to his reciprocity views or
the President has indaced Mr.. Blaine
to dilute the same in the interest of
party harmony, the fact remains that
by giving his views utterance Mr..
Blaine has made it impossible for the
Republican party ever to become unit
again in favor of higher protective
duties. He has given vent 10 a great
volume of smoldcring discomfort with
the programme of his party in Congress,
and has prompted the expression by Re-
publican leaders and newspapers of
opinions of the most revolutionary
character. Throughout New England
and the Northwest there have been de-
liverances of this kind which will be of
incalculable service il the cause Of
tariff reform, for they will set thou
sands OF people to thinking and doubt
ing. with the inevitable result of ulti-
mate injury to the high tariff cause

Good Old Steve.

Good old Steve is big gray horse.
One day he was feeding by the roadside
near little brown house. Baby Nom
sic lived in that house, and Baby's
mamma was very busy that morning
baking.
Baby had on her blue cambria frock.
She crept out into the yard Mamma
did not miss her at first. But by ana
by she heard her cry. She ran to the
door and saw Steve standing under the
big maple-tree. He was holding Baby
up by her dress with his great strong
teeth.
Mamma was frightened. She cried
out: 30 my baby, my little Nonsier'
Steve heard her cry. He turned quick
ly, trotted up to her and dropped Baby
carefully into her arms.
Baby was very glad to be dropped
into mammals arms. She crowed and
clapped her hands and patted mammals
face. Mamma gave Steve cookie and
an apple, then no whinnied goodbye
and trotted off. You see. he knew that
such a wee baby as Nonsie ought not to
be out walking alone. So he had
picked her up to take care of her.-Our

Obeyed His Mother by the Ala oil Two
Big Birds.
"Jobnny, it is time to go for the
cows" called mamma from the Kitchen
window Johnny was busy mendlng
the wheel of his wagon, and did not
look up.
johnny" called mamma a second
time. 1T is getting late. and it will be
dark before you get home"
EYES," answered Johnny, as he re-
luctantly laid down the hammer and
started for the house.
Now, Johnny, / do not want you to
cross the creek. If the cows are in the
woods posture, you must go around the
road. Do you hear?
Yes answered Johnny, thinking
all the time of the wagon he had lett
behind.
1t was, indeed, getting late. and he
ran quickly down the long lane, at the
end of which was pair of bars, very
heavy bars, that did not move easily.
Behind these the COWS should have been
standing. On this particular evening,
however, either from forgetfulness,
obstinacy, or some other reason best
known to themselves, the COWS were
not there. Now, Johnny was not very
brave boy, and hunting cows in the
deep woods, under dismal hemlocl1s and
along dark ravines was not a very invit-
ing prospect Then, too, tho thought
that wildcat had been killed within
mile from there kept Itself uppermost
in his mind, and he imagined he could
see the eyes of its mate glaring upon
him from behind every stump and tree
1t was growing darker, and no cows
were to be seen. He pressed on up
dark ravine, where ne knew they often
went. Go boss, CO hoss!" he called,
again and again.
Presently the stiffness was broken by
strange noise. 1t sounded awful.
Johnny felt something go thump,
thump, against his breast, but it soon
stopped and he went on. Again the
dismal sound, and again the thump,
thump.
Il can't go any farther on that road"
he said; ''besides. 1 just expect the
cows are in the woods pasture. There's
the log now III just run across and
see. O, L promised not to cross the
log. Surely mamma wouldn't expect
me to go right among wild animals and
all kinds OF dreadful things. I'd bet
ter DROWN
He had reached the waters edge, and
was just ready to step upon the log, but
little voice kep pit saying: ''You prom
ised not to cross the creek, you promised
not to cross the creek"
Well l WON'T" he said, resolutely
stepping back into the road.
Again the dismal noise, and again the
thump, thump. He stood still and
looked and listened. Right there above
his head sat two old owls Close side
by side they sat, as harmless as kittens,
with their great eyes looking right at
him. He was greatly relieved at this
discovery, and with light heart stepped
briskly along. Lying in repose a few
yards beyond were the cows.
So it turned out that the big-eyed,
long-earedi birds, had heard his call, and
actually helped him in his search.
Johnny is now an old man, and he
says he has noticed all through his life
that if you will bravely face all dangers
and troubles, they will generally turn
out to be big owls. Golden Rule.

TO FIGHT INDIANS.
The Bill to Furnish Arms to Settlers
Passes the House,
The PENSION BILL TAKEN UP.
Election Bill Debate Goes On in
the Senate.
MIR. GRAY OPPOSES THE BILL
SENATE,

Mr.. Stanford introduced q bill to provide the
government with means sufficient to supply the
national want Of a sound circulating medium,
and asked that it lie on the table, stating that
he would hereafter submit some remarks upon
it.
MIR. GRAY OPPOSES THE ELECTION BILL.
The election bill was then (at LOO taken up
and Mr.. Gray addressed the Senate in opposi-
ton to it.
The Vice President having stated the ques-
ton to be on the Senate substitute Mr.. Gray
remarked that before the vote was taken he
had something to say, and there might be
something to be said by others on the demo-
cratic side OF the chamber and, he
doubted not, on the other side also.
Inc bill, he said, was confessedly
of the first importance, most far-reaching in its
consequences and Gin the opinion of many
freedom of the people Of the several states.
Notwithstanding the sneer uttered by the Presi-
dent OF the United States as to the objections of
those who opposed the bill there were those on
MS side OF the chamber and throughout the
country Che believed a majority of the freemen
OF the country who believed that the bill was
one that threatened the integrity Of American
institutions, state and national; that it was
fraught with the greatest danger to the future
prosperity OF the whole country and that it
menaced the liberties of the people of all the
states. 1t was the first time in the history of
the government that measure was proposed
on the theory that the states were no longer
able to provide for and that the people of the
states were no longer fitted to be entrusted with
the control OF their own elections.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.--A special di spatch from
Pine Ridge agency says the situation has not
materially changed. The hostile Rosebud In
dians sleep upon their arms prepared con-
family for an attack. They have three lines of
signal couriers between this agency and their
camp, and any movement of the troops would
be known in few moments. They have taken all
they wish of the government beef herd and
burned the buildings and corrals. They are living
high and are happy. They have moved to the
edge of the bad lands. Military preparations
proceed rapidly. Unless the Indians come in
within a very few DAYS the troops will be
equipped and in position, when an advance
may be ordered.

HOUSE,

Mr.. Cutcheon CIich.) called up Senate joint
resolution authorizing the Secretary of War to
issue 600 stands of arms to each of the states
OF North and South Dakota, Wyoming and Ne
braska.
Mr.. Holman Qnd) while not opposing the
resolution, expressed his belief that there was
no strong ground for apprehension of serious
Indian troubles, but he believed that the In
dians were not being well treated. He believed
that the charge made that rations were not be-
Ing properly supplied was well founded.
He had entire confidence in the present
commissioner OF Indian affairs but he
believed that the trouble which existed was the
result of this neglect, if nothing more. of some
persons connected with the Indian service.

On motion Of Mr.. Carter (Mont.), the state

vate calendar)-went into committee of the
whole (Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair }
on the pension appropriation bill.
AGAINST PENsIoNINa DEPENDENT RELATIVES.
Mr.. Vaux Pa) did not oppose the general
purpose of the bill, but he did oppose the ap-
preparation made for dependent relatives under
the act of March 9, 1886. So far as Justice to
the American soldier or sailor was concerned
he stood foremost with the foremost men, bu.
he objected weighing down Justice to the term
called charity. On what basis was
Congress asked to give charity to those who
had done nothing for the country, nothing to
carry out the objects of the war? When Con-
gress undertook to adulterate justice to charity
1t leveled justice to n eleemosynary condition
which was unworthy of the soldier and un-
worthy of the idea Of pensions. Pensions
were given as a commemoration of great serv-
ice-patriotic servioe-to those who rendered
the service. What had dependant relatives
done that they should stand side by side with
tho men who had given their health and their
lives for their country.
cRITICIsINa THE COMMISSIONER.
Mr.. Outhwaite (Ohio) said that in the debate
yesterday charges had been made against the
commissioner Of pensions which, If sustained,
brought the conduct of that officer very near
to an impeachable offense. He criticised the
conduct Of the commissioner in abandoning his
post for the purpose of effecting an honest
(sarcastically) election in the district Of the
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Cooper.
Mr.. Cutcheon suggested that Commissioner
Black had taken part in congressional cleo
tiOns.
Mr.. Outhwaite replied that if Mr.. Black had
done such things as Commissioner Raum had
done he should have been brought to justice
for it.

The House committee on the eleventh census
gave hearing this morning to a delegation

new census enumeration of that city,

Flower. John M. Bowers Of New York
was spokesman Of the delegation, and
presented the affidsvits Of about 400 persons,
residents Of the second ward, who swore that
they had not been enumerated by the federal
enumerators. They had complete case in the
second ward, he said, and the differences in the
other wards certainly justified a new enumera-
ton. Owing to o case he had before the
Supreme Court Mr.. Bowers was unable to con-
clude his argument this morning, and the COM
mittee adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow

THE REAPPORTIONMENT.

Democratic Leaders Seriously Perplexed in
Regard to the Bill.
The democrats are now in serious consulta-
ton on the subject of the apportionment bill
1t still remains to be settled whether or not the
critics Of the census will be able to 80 discredt
Mr. Porter's work as to defeat q reapportion-
ment at this session. Democrats think that
the hearing today before the census committee
on the New York city case will
have decided influence on the question.
If they should succeed in compelling recount
Of New York city it might send the whole ap-
portionment question over until the next Con-
gress.
DEMOCRATS PERPLEXED.
The democrats have some perplexing ques-
tions to consider in relation to the apportion-
ment and are not little annoyed
by the lack OF patriotism on the part Of some
individual members and even whole delega-
tions. The number at which the membership
Of the House could be held to the best interest
according to Mr.. Holman, member of the
committee, is the present number. S32.
IMPOSSIBLE TO UNITE.
But 1t seems almost impossible to unite the
democrats in support of q measure fixing this
as the number, for the reason that Indiana,
Maryland. Kentucky, Tennessee and South
Carolina would each lose member. The dem
ocrats from these states do not see their way
clear to voting for the reduction Of their state
delegation, though it will benefit the whole
south.
ADVANTAGE TO THE REPUBLICAN,.
The republicans are expected to take advan.
tage Of this state Of affairs and propose to iz
the membership at S5A, which will save these
states from any loss, but give the republicans
an immense advantage.
1t win be difficult to induce the democrats OF
the states affected from voting for the larger
number and the party leaders are greatly per.
picked by the situation in which they find them.
