Indian Man.
FRANKLIN, IND, Dec. 22.-This morning,
Frank Smiley, who up to year ago was in
business here and who now resides in In
dianapolis, dropped into town. No one
knew him. The Frank Smiley whom every
one knew had n full beard and mustache,
and had a thick growth of hair. The ap-
parent stranger who came to-day had an en-
tirely bald head, smooth face, no eyelashes
or eyebrows.
He told this story: 'Not long ago I had a
severe attack of la grippe Nv head roared
constantly. One morning, while at the din
ner table, 1 noticed that some hairs had
fallen into my plate. put my hand to my
mustache and it fell off in punches. next
put my hand to my head and my hair fell
out in the same way. went to a barber and
he rubbed solution on my head, but in
stead of helping it he rubbed every remain
ing hair off. My beard, eyelashes and eye
brows came out in the same manner, and
have not had shave since. But my head
ache has left me, and never felt better in
nv life.o

SENATOR ouAy's resolution look

SENATOR QUAY'S RESOLUTION looking
toward the acquisition of the Northern
States OF Mexico by the United States is
being sharply criticised in some quarters.
and not entirely without foundation. The
people of the United States may understand
that such resolution is intended only for
political or mining stock advertising pur-
poses: but the people OF Mexico, who are
especially sensitive on the preservation of
their territory, may not take it in that way.
If the Mexicans should learn of the Senator's
acquisition it may cost the State Department
a good deal of trouble to preserve the
friendly relations desirable for the ex-
tension of trade.

THE appearance of Congressman Robins,

The appearance OF Congressman Robinson
as a candidate for the United States Sena-
torship adds another to the evidences of the
wide scope OF that gentleman's abilities to
hold, or seek to hold, numerous positions
The last time The DISPATCH counted up the
score Governor Hill was in the lead; but now
that Mr.. Robinson proposes TO add to his
bag OF State Senator, Congressman and Pres
ident of the State League, the positions of
delegate TO the National Convention and
United States Senator he leaves the New
York plnralist far in the rear. 1t is not yet
stated whether Robinson will try to sit in
the Senate and House of Representatives at
the same time; but rs he is not enough of
Senatorial candidate to hurt anything So
luton to that problem need not be pressed.

IT is mitigation that the lottery wing
of the Louisiana Democracy is trying to dis
avow the ownership by that gambling con-
Germ of the organization. The Democratic
leaders point to the absence of any resolu-
ton indorsing the scheme from their plat
form, and even claim that their two leading
candidates are anti-lottery men. This con-
veys the comforting assurance that there
is a popular feeling against the lottery
which even the lottery men must try to
hoodwink.

DALZELL OR ROBINSON.

i 1t seems to be generally understood in the
West that Magee is now helping Dalzell in
his Senatorial fight to keep down any new
opponents OF Quay.-Hdrrtsburg Patriot.
Congressman Jack Robinson announces
himself candidate for United States Sena-
tor. The more the merrier. The year 1892 is
going to be a great one for all.around poll
tics.-Harrisb,rg Telegraph.
The members of the Legislature who will
do the voting will not be elected until next
fall, but in the meantime there will be q
good deal of Chinese pyrotechnics on the
part of Robinson and Dalzell, while Quay
will fish in Florida.-Johnsto,1,s Tribune.
Dalzell has firmly announced his candi-
dacy for the Senate and Quay may be re-
gerded as in the field, although he says he
is not a candidate. There will be lively
times in Allegheny, but the Dalzell boom is
too thin to cover the State.-Scronton Repub-
hcun.
Congre ssman Dalzell having announced
his candidacy for the United States Senate,
it was one of the most natural things in the
world for Congressman Jack Robinson, Of
the Delaware Chester district to announce
his candidacy for the same position.-Meud-
vile Tribune
Mr.. Dalzell's candidacy is distinctly anti
Quay, and he will be supported by those
who hold the view that Senator Quay ought
not to be returned. With Jack" Robinson
in the field the contest becomes triangular,
and several counties are yet to be heard
from.-Erie Dispatch.
Congressman Dalzell has announced tina.
he is in the race for the caucus nomination
and now Congressman Jack Robinson de-
clares himself an aspirant for the honorable
Office. Each of these is a political fighter
who never cries Hold, enough!" What
will the outcome be?-C Chambersbtrg Spirit.
Congressman Dalzell announces his "will
ingness" to accept the distinguished honor,
and now it is reported that Congressman
Jack" Robinson, who fought SO hard to
defeat Dalzell in the race for the League
Presidency. will buckle on his armor and
confront his old foe again WiHamsport
