THE REPUBLICAN MOSES.
The Party Turning to Blaine to Lead
Them Out Of the Wilderness.

Them Out of the Wilderness.
The republicans have got to pull themselves
together and agree upon some policy for the
next session. Before the session begins there
will probably be conference of the leaders
to discuss the situation, the matter havi ng
already received some attention within the
cabinet circle
The party must have some one around whom
to rally their shattered forces and this leader
must be some one not too seriously involved in
the defeat of last Tuesday. The general drift
of opinion among republicans is that Blaine is
the man to whom they must turn in their hour
of distress to lead them out OF the wilderness.
1t is said that even Mr.. Harrison feels now that
he made a mistake in not allying himself more
closely with Mr.. Blaine. and particularly that
he missed an opportunity when he failed to
send his proposed reciprocity message to Con-
gress. There is considerable talk. more or less
idle, about the republicans turning around
now and modifying or repeating the Mckinley
bill OF course they viii do no such thing.
But what will be done, unless jealousies pre-
vent 1t, will be to try to give some character to
the reciprocity feature. The reciprocity
amendment adopted by Congress was nothing
like what Mr.. Blaine wanted; but it is believed
that broad construction may be given to IL,
and new legislation on the subject enacted if
necessary. and that something may be accom-
pushed by vigorous and prompt action In the
State Department in tho matter of making
treaties which will broaden our markets on the
American continent and with Cuba. Many re-
publicans who fully appreciate the meaning Of
their defeat look to Mr.. Blaine to do something
in this direction to save them and are ready to
turn the party command over to him.
1t is expected that the stroke attempted at
this session will be to agitate the reciprocity
question so as to distract attention from the
Mckinley law, and at the same time to steer as
clear as possible of the radical course which
was followed during the last session.

THOUGHT To BE CHRIST.
The Indians Believe That the White
Mans Messiah Has Returned.

CHICAGO, Nov. ls-Cien. Nelson A. Miles,
commander of the department. of the Missouri,
has just returned from trip through Dakota,
Montana and Nebraska. When seen by re-
porter the general talked entertainingly as 10
the strange fanaticism especially among the
Sioux and Cheyennes. both OF whom he has
recently seen He says many of the Sioux and
Cheyennes now assert that they have already
seen the Messiah. among others ''Old Por-
cupine," prominent Cheyenne chief. who las.
winter made a trip with a large party of braves
TO Wyoming and said he had been taken to the
Messiah by some Bannock Indians who came
over the mountains TO act as guides.
Old PorcupIne reports that the Messiah is
the white mans Christreturned after eighteen
hundred years 10 visit the red men. The Mes
slah Is white and wears his head so muffled
that his face cannot be seen. His hands, how
ever. still bear cruel scars from the wounds in
hIcted by the white man centuries ago. These
scars serve to remind the Indian OF his duty to
the Messiah, who will bring all good things il
he is only faithful to his old traditions and
customs.
There is nothing particularly new in the
latest craze" said the general The Indians
are great dreamers. They seldom IL ever work
and consequently have plenty OF time to sit
around and pray and dance and fast. This is
all they have been doing thus far, and don't
know that they have done any different for the
last fifty years do hot anticipate any ne
cessity for my visiting the affected tribes again
Tor the present at any rate"

MINISTER LINCOLN IN TOWN.
He Says He Has No Intention Of Resign.
ing His Position.

Hon. Robert 7. Lincoln, minister nom the
United States to England, reached the city this
morning from Chicago. He called on Secre-
tary Proctor at the War Department early in
the day and held quite reception among his
old official friends. He looks exceedingly
well, being somewhat stouter than he
was while Secretary of War, and
although the death Of his son Abraham seems
to have left certain strong marks of sadness
about his face, he appears to be in the best of
health. To STAR reporter he said in a most
positive manner:
The stories to the effect that intend to re-
sign my post and that shall remain henceforth
in America are absolutely false am here on a
leave of absence, and shall remain for about
forty or fifty days, after which shall go back
to England and resume my work. The reports
to the contrary are without the least founda-
ton"
He afterward visited the State Department
and made brief call OH Secretary Blaine and
Assistant Secretary Wharton.
His visit to America is a most melancholy
one, being for the purpose of experimenting
the interment of the remains of his son in the
Lincoln crypt at Springfield, Ill This was
done Saturday evening in the presence of q
number OF the members of the Lincoln Monu-
ment Association.

THREE TIMES AND FAILED.
A Nashville Characters Futile Attempts
at Suicide.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. IO-Jim Meadows,
who lives on West Cedar street, this city, and
who has made himself quite conspicuous lately
by the futile attempts ho had made to commit
suicide, was again the object Of much
speculation on the part of his neigh
bors last night Heretofore he has always
done himself more harm than any one
else, but about ten o'clock last night
his neighbors were called from their Sunday
night slumbers by cries of terror from the
members of the Meadows family, whom he had
pursued into the street with pistol His wife
and children escaped TO the protection OF
friends. Meadows made an Intellectual attempt
to set fire to his dwelling house and store.
The police we're notified of the condition of
affairs, but before they could arrive upon the
scene the insane man had completely subsided
and seemed to have no knowledge Of what he
had done. Meadows had just recovered from
the effects of the passage Of q pistol
bullet through his left breast, fred
by his own hand This was the third time be
has shot himself with suicidal intent, each time
narrowly missing the accomplishment Of his
object. He will to day be tried and will prob
ably be sent to the lunatic asylum.

HIM and he was determined she should MARRY
no one else. He had been paying attentions
to Miss Snyder for over year and his love

she had tired of his attentions and told him on
several occasions that she could never consent

Supreme bench and Representative Henry
Clay Evans is to succeed him in the cabinet.

steadily more numerous as he proceeds and 10
is now believed that the total will reach
100000. Many persons are OF the opinion that
the crookedness has been going on for over ten
years. In thirty-four cases SO far investigated
every one shows the grossest rascality. Each
OF these cases represents from one TO fifteen
or twenty forged and fraudulent fees and GER
tificates. Letters from the Rev. c. 7. Caldwell,
prosecuting attorney, indorsing and recon-
mending the payment Of illegal claims have
been found. Caldwell says nothing. His posi-
ton and actions will be investigated

SENSATIONAL ARRESTS.
Prominent Citizens Of Dodge County,

MACON, GA, Nov. 10.-Five citizens of Dodge
county were arrested Saturday by United States
deputy marshals and brought here and COM
mitted to Jail on q charge Of conspiracy and
the murder Of J. c. Forsyth at Normsndale on
the 7th Of October. One Of the prisoners is
Wright Lancaster, sheriff OF Dodge county, and
another il Luther A. Hall, Dodge county at
torney, whose trial for perjury is now pending
in the federal district court A white man,
named Andrew Reneau, was shot by mob for
the murder Of Forsyth, the day after it oc-
CURED, but later investigation by United States
special agents proved his innocence of the
crime. The men arrested are charged with
having conspired in, aided and abetted the as
sassination. A Sensational feature is lent to
the case by the fact of their being made by
federal officers. Forsyth was a northern man
and the case brought in the federal court on
the ground that at the time Of the murder he
was, as agentbf Norman W. Dodge, enjoying
rights which had been guaranteed by decree Of
the United Stsses court
