Indian Encounter on Cherry Creek.

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 19.-Some forty fam
lilies from Cheyenne, at the mouth of Cher
~ creek, have come in and report an
encounter between the Indians of the
Cherry creek dance and the troops, but
could give no particulars. A rancher
named McGraw, OH the trail between
Cheyenne and Pine Ridge was attacked by
a small band of Indians but escaped and
came here. As the weather is warm, it is
likely the hostiles will break up into small
bands and work their way into the Bad
Lands. -

THINKING Right and Voting
Wrong" is the caption of the fol-
lowing editorial remarks in the Balti-
more san. 1t is not only applicable
in this case, but in many others,
and only shows how vascilating
politicians are. The Sun says:
cit is remarkable fact that the
republican majority of the Senate is
about to saddle the country for
years with a tariff act which does
not really command the approval of
that majority. As individuals they
oppose it as unwise, oppressive and
all that, but as Senators they vote
for it. This was illustrated by the
speech of Senator Davis, of Mime
sofa. 1t contained tariff reform
ideas all through. 1t described the
present tariff as a tax which griev-
ouslY weighs upon the Minnesota
farmer in many ways. The Senator
wants reciprocity and foreign trade.
lie redicnles the idea that the home
market is enough for our industry.
Yet, s'when it comes to the scratch,
the Minnesota Senator will prob
ably throw his convictions to the
winds and ssvote with his party"
1t was an evil day for the country
when the manufacturing capitalists
captured great party and made it
subservient to their private inter
ests."

How Many Congre sman?

The old fight that comes every ten
years, as soon as the census is figured
up, will soon be on again-that is,
how many mem 5ers shall have seats
in the United States house Of re-
presentativess At present there is
one congressman to each 15l 9l2
Inhabitants of q state. On this
basis there are now in the house
325 members. The hall is so crow
ded that the members cannot sit
comfortably, and only for the habit
they have of sliding out when the
proceedings are dull, which is quite
often, they would not have nearly
room enough. Sooner or later the
peoples representatives must have
q new hall.
In case the present apportion-
ment-one member for Isl, 912
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., then the
number OF congressman will amount
up into the four hundreds. In
case, however, the apportionment is
increased, making each member
represent 200, 900 or whereabouts of
the population, very large rub
comes in. The New England
states will lose no less than six or
seven Of their present congressman.
This they will of course fight while
New England has tongne and breath
and that would be good while.
Some of the middle states would
also lose while the west and manu-
featuring states of the new south
would gain immensely. How to
please all parties will be one of the
problems for congress to study
over.

The Umbrella in Law.

Two judicial decisions promulgated in the
city of Dover, N. H., have made the appro-
priation of another's umbrella a penal Of
Tense. On the first rainy day after these de-
%cisions, two offenders were arrested, one
receiving a sentence of thirty days to Jail
and costs Of prosecution, and the other a
sentence of sixty days and costs. Should the
weather be wet at this New England town,
it is safe to assume that most Of its popula-
ton will be placed where umbrellas are not
needed. It is q trait of human nature to re-
gard an umbrella as common property, and
it is rather easier for a camel to pass through
a needles eye than for the average man to
refrain from appropriating an umbrella that
is not his, when the weather is favorable for
umbrellas. This fact is one that goes to
prove that virtue is very often a thing of
opportunity and surroundings rather than an
Unborn, innate quality. Given a brisk
shower, and nc bingham or gloria protection
of ones own available, man forgets one-tenth
of the decalogue and walks off with the near
est black winged parachute that stands
te%mptingly at hand. Yet, if tits a sin to
steal a pin, it must be a sin to steal an I'M
brella, and the Dover edict is founded on
right.-Pittsburg Bulletin.
