BILE Effects.
Major Kaufman. editor Of the CiDcin.
nati An:eiOer and a fe.long student Of
German politics. talking to-day about the
recent election in Germany says the great
victory of the socialists was due to Bis.
marck's anti. socialistic law. The law -as
first made in 1874 aud in 1876 expired by
Limitation and has been renewed every two
years since at the request of the govern.
ment. The natural consequences Of such
q law followed its enforcement. Men
expelled from their homes went from
place to place agitating and so the ex.
pulston clause helped to spread socialistic
ideas. In Germany the lot Of q COM
mon man is to pay taxes, serve as .
soldier and to keep his mouth shut. The
socialists want to do away with the army
and claim that if they get in power there
will be no more wars. 1t is easy to show how
such arguments will work upon the classes
who furnish the men for war and who si.
ways live under threatening rumors of war.
The w%orkingmen are also told that
"ASA lac SOCl6ltblS are IN power
they will not have to work so hard
nor SO long. These arguments
have won thousands of voters. The result
of the election will be that instead of
eleven members of the reichstsg the So
cialists will have thilty-fve and be en-
titled to representation on all committees.
Ihe anti.socialist bill will fail. They will
have liberty in organizing openly and Q
chance will be given them to develop the
program Of tina future. Bismarck or the en-
peror will try to get a majority by making
concessions to the Catholics, hut the gov
ernment is really in a predicament. The
emperor can dissolve the reichstag il he de.
sires, but he must figure on a new election,
and 1 think the result will be that Germany
Will drift more and moro into q parliament
tary government and the rights of the
crown will be lessened. There is
no danger that the socialistic party
will become the ruling one, but the result
OF the election means that Germany will
be more literally governed and the working
classes will probably be benefited. The
socialists arc not anarchists. They are as
bitterly opposed to anarchy as are other
people."

AN HISTORIC POWDER HORN.
Won ut Valley Forge Through . Lottsr
Suggested by Washington.

won ~ valley tOrge Through . Lottery
Suggested by Washington.
Charles F. Rockwell, of Honesdalo Pa,
has an ancient powder horn which has an
interesting history. His grandfather,
Jabez Rockwell, was a revolutionary SOL
der, having enlisted in the continental
army at the age OF 16. The regiment he was
in was recruited In Connecticut under the
direction of Benedict Arnold. He fought.
under Arnold at Saratoga, where he was
wounded. After recovering from his
wound he was transferred to the division
Of the army under Washington and
Lafayette. He was among the hardy
patriots who suffered in the terrible
winter quarters at Valley Forge. The VIZ
cissitudes of the campaign had resulted in
the losing by q large number Of the SOL
diers of their powder horns. From the
heads of some of the cattle obtained by
foraging about Valley Forge, the
camp butchers had saved the
horns, and there was great strife
among the soldiers who had lost their
powder horns to obtain possession Of
one OF these. There were SO many apple
cants that no satisfactory division could be
made Of them. One day, as Gen. WASH
ington was riding by the camp, the situa-
ton was explained to him, and he was
asked to suggest some way BY which the
horns could be fairly disposed Of among
the men. He took a paper and wrote .
number between 1900 and 1000, and said
that the ten soldiers who guessed the
nearest TO that number should have the
horns. The guesses were made. The
number Washington put down was 1,77e.
Jabez Rockwell was one Of ten who we're
near enough to the lucky number to get o
horn, bis guess being 1850. He carried
the horn through the rest Of the war, and
it is the horn now in possession os his
grandson.

To Ise Removed,

The chief topic in Leavenworth army
circles is the m that the headquarters
of the department OF the Missouri are to
be removed from Fort Leaveuwo,th. This
is is q topic which overshadows in
Importance of the proposed action
and its immediate effect upon the city the
proposed amnesty to deserters and the
pardon prisoners confined in the United
States military prison for desertlon.
This action is said TO be contemplated by
the national war authorities, owing to
differences existing between Gen. Wesley
Merritt. department commander, and Gen.
Alex. Med. McCook, post commander.

BLAlNE's GRANDSON.
ltulnors that James q. blaine, dr., Has
Attempted To Kilnap His Child.

RulnOrs that James q. Blaine, Dr., Has
Attempted To kislnap His Child.
1t is reported that James G. Blaine, jr.,
has made several attempts to kidnap his
infant child in New York city. One effort
is said TO have been made on the day Of
Mrs. Blaine's benefit at the Broadway
theater. Mrs. Kendall has become one of
the dearest friends OF Mrs. Blaine. Every
day the English actress has been in New
York she has spent at least two hours with
the sick woman. 1t had been arranged
that little James G. Blaine be taken to
the theater. When Mrs. Kendall
was encored she was to appear Oh
the stage with the tiny . child in.
her arms. 1t was Mrs. Kendall's
own idea. 1t would have created an inn
mense sensation. Those who we're at the
benefit knew that the infant Blaine did not
appear on the stage. During the morning
the boy was taken out for an airing by Mrs.
Fuller. A little while later the nurse came
rushing home with a white face and out of
breath. 1.-TWO men were following me-"
she gasped. They acted strangely end
frightened me nearly to death. 1 saw them
almost directly after I left the house.
They followed me- down to Broadway.
Their movements scared me. l turned
and came home as quickly as possible"
Those present wanted to keep the news
from Mrs. Blaine, but in her excitement
Mrs. Fuller had spoken in a high key and
the sick woman heard her. A few minutes
later came the startling intelligence that
James G. Blaine, jr., was in the city. In
side of an hour the nurse had packed what
necessaries she required for herself and
child. Under the escort of a faithful
friend they were taken to a safe and quiet
retreat in the country to some friends Of
Col. Nevins. The knowledge Of the child's
whereabouts is carefully guarded, Mean
while young Blaine has kept very quiet.
Late in the afternoon, it is said, he learned
that the child had been taken away. Then
his tall figure and prominent nose were seen
on Broadway. He strolled by the theater
where kindly people were doing what they
could for his young wife.

Jews to Get rnrether.

The unrelenting warfare against the He
brew race in Russia and the intermittent
anti-Semitic crusades in Germany and
other countries have led to proposals for a
meeting of prominent and representative
European Jews, to which it Is understood q
few Americans Of that race will also be in
Nited, at Amsterdam or some other city j in
a small nationality the coming summer.
The principal measure to be discussed will
undoubtedly be the raising of q fund to be
used for the protection of their brethren
from the prosecutions and invidious dis
tinctions to which they are now subjected
in the majority of countries throughout the
world

BRITISH GOLD.

1t Is Said to Have Captured the Great CHI
cago Stock Yards.
A morning paper says that the Union
stock yards of Chicago, the largest in the.
world, will doubtless be sold to an English
syndicate. The price Of this enormous
plant is $50, 600, 900, and q number of rich
Eng'ishmen are ready to exchange that
sum for a controlling interest. It is un-
derstood that the negotiations have passed
beyond the stage of discussion. Reliable
information warrants the statement that
the contract for the transaction has been
signed.
George 1. Williams, treasurer and secre-
tary Of the company, when spoken to on
the alleged pending negotiation and sale,
said:
Il do not know what started such a
story, for there is absolutely nothing in it.

Of the stockholders has been seen about

ANOTHER nusn FOR LAND.
Boomers waiting for the opsnins Ut tho
Cherokee stsip.

Boomers Waiting for the Opening III the
Cherokee Strip. :
Parties from the southern border Of
Kansas state that hundreds OF people are
gathering there to enter the Cherokee strip
when President Harrison shall declare II
lawful to do so. The strip comprises the
finest part Of the Iudian territory, being
we'll watered and timbered. The counties
Of Cody and Sumner were the homes OF
the Oklahoma boomers for years, while
awaiting the signal from Washington when
they could rush across the strip to the lard
SO long coveted. The presidents pro-
clamation was worded so as to inspire the
boomers with the thought that the
strip would be opened BY June I IL the cat
tie could be driven of by that time. The
towns and cities are rapidly filling up with
people. From these points excursions are
made into the territory, ostensibly for the
purpose of hunting cattle or game, but in
reality to select sites for homes when
President Harrison gives the signal for
them to enter. The townsite Spectator is
also on hand and already more than o
score of towns have been located III imagin-
alton. There is a disposition all along the
border to respect the rights, or the sup
posed rights, Of those who so prematurely
located their claims and townsites.
This disposition has caused the belief
that there is an organization formed for
the purpose Of invasion. This, however,
is hardly the case. Tho purpose is to pro-
tect each other against later claimants. Il
is estimated that fully 1000 claims have
been marked, the property rights to which
will be respected and even defended IL nee
essary. There are about a, OOO claims in
the Cherokee strip and there are now
1000 people on the border waiting to go
in. By May II $4,000 people will have
gathered along the Kansas border to enter
the strip. This is not the fullest extent
of the preparations, however. In Okla.
homa there are thousands of negroes ready
to cross the line northward and they, too,
have selected their claims.
