Lottery Law comp,ications.

The Postmaster General and the Secretary
OF the Treasury are having considerable
trouble II enforcing the law prohibiting
advertisements relating to lottery compa-
MES from being carried in the mails. Some
very interesting cases have arisen uader the
aw. A number of Mexicaas are no T in
this country for the purpose of finding out
by what authority Mexican newspapers
Containing lottery advertisements are
thrown out of the mails. They insist that
the arrangements which Mexico has with
this country relative TO the transportion Of
mail matter contain no-hng relative to
such advertisements.
Several ne wspapers have got into trouble
for publishing accounts of church fair
rafiles and for advertising offers of pre-
miums intended to increase their circulation.
In Bloomington, H. a number Of the news
papers of the town print advertisements of
voting and guessing schemes by means of
which the merchants endeavor to attract
customers, and the Postmaster General has
been asked TO decide whether these papers
are violating the anti-lotUery law. 1t is
understood that he has decided to permit
them to pass through the mails. The Fort
Wayne dnd.) Morning Journal printed a
list of the ticket holders who won prizes in
lottery at church fair in that town and
was excluded from the mails, though
it is not easy to see Oh what
ground it was excluded, because the lottery
no longer existed when the list was pub
lished, and, hence, the publication could
not have been an advertisement of a lot
terry. In that same Indiana town another
paper was excluded from the mails for pub
fishing the name of the winner of sofa
pillow at church fair. In Kansas an ed
ltor, whose paper was excluded from the
mails because it contained an account of a
church fair rai1le, has sued the Postmaster
General for $4,000.
The Secretary of the Treasury is bothered
by the question whether lottery tickets NAV
be imported. There is about a cart load of
German lottery tickets in the New York
custom house, and the consgnees are de-
manding them. The secretary is holding
them until he can decide whether the i'm
portation of tlem is violation Of thu law.
He is under the impression that they come
under the head of "articlcs of au immoral
nature" If this impression is correct the
imp ortatlon of them is prohibited.
Other, aud perhaps more complicated,
questions are likely to arise under the anti
lottery law, and it is not improbable that
congress will be asked to amend it In some
particulars Thslaw is aimed at lottery
and not at church fairs
and guessing ard premium schemes, and It's
intention ought to be so clearly expressed
as not to permit of an Interpretation not
contemplated.

Sitting sulrs little Schema.

Late dispatches from the north west state
that Col. S. Bull is still at it, When in the
east he evidently learned a few political
capers, which he seems to be working for
all they are worth. By his marvellous
stories he has his followers worked up to
such a pitch of excitement that they
threaten TO rise and follow Sitting Bull
after tue Messiah appears. With this comes
the first story of how the Indian saw the
divinity. the vision of which he claims was
repeated to him last night.
Sitting Bull claims that he was hunting
near the Sloshone mountains, and as night
came on he was seized with strange feel
ing. At first involuntary. but finally with
alacrity, he followed star which moved
westward through the sky. All night the
star guided him, and just before morning
in the mountains he cams upon the Messiah,
clad in white robe. His hair was lonz
and his beard extended to his breast,
and about his head was a halo
When this sight burst upon Sitting
Bull he tainted. A vision appeared to him,
and in IL he saw all the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes who had long since been dead
engaged in dance. Powder Face, Stone
Calf, Black Kettle, Yellow Bear and in
Vulnerable other chiefs were conducting
the dance and invited him TO take part.
Presently he was restored to his senses aud
the Messiah began talking to him. To
those acquainted with the Indian character
the first question does not seem strange.
He asked Sitting Bull what he wanted to
eat, and was answered that buffalo would
please him. Immediately he saw an inn
mense herd near by, and without any diff
Guilty killed one. Then the Messiah
asked him if all the Indians
would like to see their dead kindred
and the buffalo restored Sitting Bull
said they would, and was told to go back
and assure his tribe that they would be
gratified. He. the Messiah, said he had
come to save the white man, but that they
had prosecuted him and now he had come
to deliver the long-tormented Indian. lie
showed him the holes in his hand made by
The nails when he was crucified to convincs
him that he was the same Christ who had
appeared 900 years ago. All day Christ
instructed him and gave him evidences of
his powers. He said that the white men
had come to take him, but as they ap-
preached the soil became quicksand and
the men and horses SANK.
AS evening came on he bade Sitting Bull
depart, and, although he had been hunting
away from his teppee for ten sleeps, he came
to it in few minutes. He told his people
the story and asked that Porcupine be sent
to verify it. He returned with the same
tale, and presumably all were convinced.
They say the second vision was exactly the
same as the first. All the Indians believed
it except those who went to school at
Carlisle, and they are afraid to say any
thing. Fort Reno advices say that an up
rising isimminent.
1t the sly old redskin isn't playing a sharp
game on his followers he has probably been
frightened by the natural effect of too
much fire water. And it is somewhat
strange that his ethereal vision had no
snakes in it.

An Unexpected Result.

When the Mckinley bill was under con-
slieration it was said that the political
complexion Of the Senate could not possibly
be changed under five years, and that there
fore if that bill was passed there would be
no danger of the tariff being changed
within that time.
A sweeping democratic victory all along
the line was not at that time thought to be
among the possibilities. Even if the demo-
Gratis gained the next House, they had no
chance, it was said, of making gains in the
Senate. And vet the unexpected has hap
pened. The democrats have made gains in
the Senate, though not sufficient to change
the political complexion of that body.
The republicans have now a majority OF
ten. When congress reassembles in Decem-
Der they will have fourteen, as there will
be four additional republican senator's from
the states recently admitted Idaho and
Wyoming.
Tuesdays elections make it certain that
democrat will be elected from each of the
states of New Hampshire, New York, Illi-
nois aud Wisconsin. With these changes
the Senate in the next congress
will stand forty-six republicans aud
forty democrats. But still further
changes are among the probabilities. 1t is
not yet certain that the democrats have not
won the legislature in South Dakota, and
as the alliance has gained the legislature in
Kansas, it is possible that Senator ingalls,
will be succeeded by an alliance democrat
If the changes indicated should take place,
the Senate in the next congress would stand
rorty-four republicans and forty-two demo-
Gratis. 1t is apparant if it had not been for
the admission of so many new states, all re-
publican, one Of the results of Tue days cleo
tions would have been to make the Senate
democratic.
But what was done on Tuesday will
largely help to make the Senate democratic
in 1893. The term of Senator Hiscock of
New York expires tlat year, and as the
democrats of that state have now control
of the legislature they will likely redistrict
the state so that it will elect a democratic
legislature for a number of SUGGEST We
years. In that event he will be succeeded
by a democrat. Then Arizona will
be admitted, in all probability, and she will
give the democrats two senators. Con-
necticut, Nebraska and Michigan elected
! democratic legislatures this year, aud they
may do it again next year and the year
| after. They elect senator's two years hence
Altogether the prospect that the democrats
will control the Senate in the FifUy-third
congress is very bright one II anybody
had suggested anything of the kind six, or
even three, months ago, he would have
been considered a fit subject for lunatic
asylum.

Perhaps the majority of readers have
read the dozens of different theories ad-
vanced to account for the fact that leaves
change from their dark summer green to
yellow, red, golden and innumeraDle inter-
mediate tints at about this time every year
The following. from an eminent botanist
will, however, be OF deep interest to those
who have always thought that the red and
golden glory we are now enjoying was
simply the effect produced by frostS: The
green matter in the tissue of the leaf is
composed of two colofs-red and blue.
When the sap ceases to flow in autumn,
and the natural growth of the tree
is stopped. oxidation of the tissues
takes place. Under certain con-
ditions the green of the leaf changes to red; {;
under different conditions it takes on a
yellow or brown tint. The difference in
color is due to the difference in combina-
tions of the original constituents of the
tissue and to the varying conditions of
climate, exposure and soil. There are
several thirgs about leaves that even
scientists cannot explain. For an instance,
why one of two trees of the same species,
growing side by side in the same soil should
take on a bright red color in the fall and the
other pale yellow, or why one branch of a
tree will turn beautiful crimson, and the
one just above or just below it turn a dull
brown.

carried San Francisco, where they made
heavy gains, and, what is of prime impor-
