"THE United States army officers,
camp followers and spectators
have been actively engaged for
some time i'm an effort to get up a
periodical Indian war. The afore-
said officers and the telegraph and
sensational press have all filed
their respective portions of the pro-
gram, but the stubborn Indians
have refused with their habitual
stoicism to ring up the curtain.
What pity to disappoint the sem
sationalistsw
The above open charge against
the United States army officers,
and the indirect inference thatthe
Republican administration winks
Mt such dishonesty, appears in the
last issue of the Fairfield County
Republican. We hardly expected
Bro. Eversole to come out so boldly
against the Harrison Admins
tration. Bro. Eversoie should not
let his innate honesty assert itselfso
can newspaper, it is contrary to all
precedent. Bro. Eversole should
recollect that to charge the Admin
istration, even inferentially, with
sanctioning blood-shed, murder,
massacre and rapine, as connected
with all the horrors of Indian war
fare, is serious piece of business
and well calculated to render the
Administration odious in the eyes of
all civilized people. We are aware
of the fact that Mr.. Eversole is Il
cool headed careful journalist, and
an honest bold writer, when deal
ing with facts; one who will not al
low party fealty or private likes to
divert his mind or pen, or work a
concealment of tn, truth and hence
we are convinced of the truth of
the accusation.

Republican Apportionment Figures,

National Democrat.l
Near the end of the last session
of Congress the Census Office pre-
pared an apportionment bill, which
Mr.. Dunnell, of Minnesota, intro
.duced, contemplating House of
354 Members Just before the elec-
tion, and when Republicans recog-
nized the fact of impending disas-
ter, the Census Office reported the
population as being a little less
than was supposed in September.
This shaving down of the popu-
lation was no reason Of itself for
pairing down the House OF Repre-
sentatives. But one week after
this revised statement of population
appeared the election occurred and
created havoc in the Republican
calculations. The leading newspa-
per of the country has recently put
for ward an apportiop ment scheme
contemplating a House of 332
Members, as at present, and never
alluding to the Dunnell bill and
the number 354.
Why this silence about the official
bill, prepared by the mathematical
experts of the Census office, and
introduced by the chairman Of the
committee on census? Why aban-
don the idea Of an enlarged House
and adhere to the present number?
Well, we suspect that there are
two reasons, The Republicans In
September felt very strong In the
Northwest, and wanted to enlarge
the Northwest delegations as much

A New and Growing Industry.

We have noticed for some months
the growth of new industry
springing up like young frog in
June. This industry requires no
great investment of material
wealth, but for the amount invested
gives larger per cent. of gain
than double barreled beer gar
den.
Almost any location will do, and
the industry apparently thrives
without regard to the presence of
improved means of transportation
on improvements of any other
kind. All the material necessary
to start a thriving factory is pos
tai card an old gritty lead pencil
and a super-abundance of copper
toed cheek.
We always like to help people to
get rich honestly. 1t makes us su-
premely happy to do so. We were
i
born so, and it comes natural or
otherwise, and for the purpose of
helping young men to ahuence,
without forcing them to overtax
their nervous system, we will give
the whole snap away.

number of members of the House
that will not reduce the East much,
hut will prevent an increase in the
West.
The second reason is that on ac-
count Of the election of Democratic
Legislatures the Republicans want
as little reapportiOning as possible
In n House of 354 Members Illinois
would have twenty-two. This
would necessitate apportionment,
and the Legislature this year is not
controlled by Republicans. Wis.,
consin has nine Members and
would have nine under the new
census if the membership of the
House remained unchanged. But
if the membership were increased
to 354 Wisconsin would have ten,
and a reapportionment would be
necessary; the Wisconsin Legisla-
lature is Democratic. The same is
true of Michigan; she has eleven
Members under the new census In
a House of 332. But in House of
354 the State would have twelve
Members. The Democrats have
just swept the State, and would get
all the benefit of the additional
Member and the Encouragement of
districts, and the sagacious Repub-
licans have lost all their interest in
the number 354.

BY arranging with the p. M,
YOU can sign different name
every week and the necessary brain
work to conjure up name is all
there is about 1t, and we should not
mind a little honest toll in a great
enterprise
Don't hesitate to use above form.
Every one in this industry uses
it, and there don't appear to be any
royalty to pay.
Were you to see the smile of JOY
that lights up the countenance of
the editor when he gets one of these
postals, you would not begrudge
him this cupful of ecstacy that en-
ters his dark and joyless life If
you could see the grin of satisfac-
ton with which he hunts up an
antique number and forwards it,
you would feel fully paid for the
outlay of bullion and brass.
In this way you can get Il " pa
per for SO cents per year and make
the editor happy beside.
Don't write a letter; the expense
would be too great, and profits too
meager; besides you might enclose
couple of postage stamps, in
which case you would be in danger
of death from enlargement of the
heart and fail to be classed as a
bronze-cased dead beat.

If you are not a politician and want to
get a plum you have TO go to California
for it, vicariously, perhaps, fbut none the
less certainly at this season. So when
you see a lot of those big purple beauties
lying in little nests of white tissue paper,
looking as though they had just dropped
from the tree all ready to be bitten,
don't be deceived. They have all como
from California; they have been handled
in good part by Chinese cheap labor;
they have taken a long journey over
land, and nave grown ripper on the way,
but they are tremendously good all the
same. Just buy one and try it.
And this contribution to New York's
comfort from California is a godsend.
For the fruit crops in the east here have
fallen off very considerably this year,
some say as much as GO per cent, or
where there are usually 200, 900 packages
from New England, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland there
are now received, even on busy days,
barely 5000, and sometimes only 1000
packages. But California, according to
her fruit merchants here, has leaped into
the breach like n constitutional Curtius.
and promises to send here this year 500
car loads of fruit, each containing 20, 700
pounds of the delicious products of rich
soil and plentiful, dew mellowing sun
light.
All of this fruit comes here in refriger-
ating cars, and reaches the market here
in admirable condition. all ready to be
eaten.-New York. Herald.

One of the regular officers who was at
the Mt. Gretna encampment says the fol-
lowing in regard to that camp: 81 can
not refrain from saying hat it looks as
if the state of Pennsylvania paid $780,
900 for an inspection and two reviews.
Beyond that nothing was attempted
which could not have been better exc
cuted at the armories at home. The
militiamen have the idea that if they
get a few of the movements down fine
which are spread out before them in
Upton's tactics they are in condition to
conquer the world and haven't anything
more to learn. Why, they leave off lust
where real warfare begins. Such a
thing as modern battle tactics is I'M
known to them. 1t is in the ability to
rightly handle just such bodies of men as
that division of 1000 militiamen which
encamped at Mt. Gretna that officers in
the militia are lacking. That's the sort
of work that will count in a war now,
and that's the very thing that is never
attempted Army and Navy Journal.

1t is IN accepted axiom Of logic and
philosophy that every effect has n cause.
In our national Legislative halls there has
been q fracas both distressing and dis
graceful. Columbia blushed rosy red to
the roots of her luxuriant hair, and the
American eagle was seen to put his head
under his wing. That was the effect. Now
for the cause. Lard seems to have made
all the sputter, but to find original cause
philosophy suggests deeper study. 1t
will be remembered that certain demo-
MACS requested at one time to be domi-
ciled in the bodies Of a lot of hogs.
They rushed down a steep place into
the sea. A pig cannot swim. If he
tries to do so he cuts his own throat, but
may it not be possible that a few of
them scrambled out? The law of hered-
ity is a fact, a physiological verify. l
have always held that pork at least
some pork was full of evil spirits. Now
lard is a product of pork. All men are
influenced by their environment, more
or less. Congressman are only men, so

cause of all this trouble IAN be traced

little town of Sullivan this afternoon
nearly half OF the population of the
country was found assembled and cheering
for a sight of the chief executive. The
president was forced to yield to the
popular demand and made a brief speech
thanking tbs people heartily for the re-
ception.
Between VIncennes aud Sullivan thirty
miles. the fastest run of the trip was
made, the distance being covered in
~thirty-two minutes.
The principal event OF the day was the
reception at Terre Haute. A stand had
been erected and fully 10000 people
assembled to greet the party. The
arrival of the train was heralded by the
whistles Of every engine and factory 10
he city and the noise was deafening.
When the speakers stand was finally
reached it was fully ten minutes before
the thousands ofcheering people could be
quoted.
Mayor Daniels welcomed the president
to the city and introduced him to the
people.

very heartily appreciated this large gath
ering and the welcome which kind and

Several people have been accused at
different times of wanting the earth, but
only within a few months has the de-
mand for it become so great that the
contestants have taken the matter into
the courts. In the operation of a tele-
phone system or an electrical railway
line considerable expense is saved if the
earth can be used for the return circuit.
Generally the telephone companies have
been first in the field, and have taken
the earth for their own use.
When the electric railway came, how
ever, and also took the earth, there was
music in the telephones of a sort not at
all pleasing to the subscribers. The
leakage of current from the railway line
raised havoc with the feeble telephone
current. In a great number of cases the
telephone companies have appealed to
the courts to make the electric rail-
ways stop using the EARTH" but it has
generally been held that the fact of
prior possession avails nothing, and n
one who wishes may have the earth to
use. The telephone companies will
generally construct complete metallic
currents to get rid of their trouble, and
leave the electric railways in serene pos
