CHAPTER IN.
TON ~BANNICRs VISITOR

Near the upper end of Nassau street,
In New York, stands atall building CON
timing business Offices. In the year
1872 this building was regarded as n
of the finest in New York and was occu-
cupied chiefly by q good class of law
yers. The apartment OF the northeast
corner of the top floor bore upon the
ground glass panel Of its doorthe legend,
Thomas II. Bannick, Law Office Mr..
Bannick had lived in the building since
its erection, but only latterly in his
present quarters. He had begun bust
ness in one of the large suits of offices
on the third landing, but, for one reason
or another, the larger rewards of his
profession had not come to him, and,
not being weighted down by gold in his
pockets, he had gradually risen from one
floor to another, until at length he had
found himself, INTELLECTUALLY speaking,
above all his fellow tenants. To go
higher was impossible. He was not yet
light enough to live in the empty air,
although if things went on as they had
been going it looked as if he would have
to live on it.
Because a man is poor in New York it
does not always follow that he is n
scoundrel, or even that he is incompe-
tent. Tom Bannick, at all events, was
neither. He was born of a good North
of Ireland family, and had been thor
oughly educated at Dublin university.
After a supplementary career in law he
came to America with ten thousand
pounds in his pocket, and an impression
that he was going to make a large fort
une. Curiosity and a temper hospitable
to adventure drew him to the western

FASHIONS DEGREES.

ONE of fashions bizarre fads is the
red riding hood cape, which is of cloth
of the most vivid tone but of the finest
quality.
DRESS skirts are being made mar
rover even than they were worn few
months ago; indeed, those who affect
the exaggerated mode find. difficulty in

AN expensive but handsome novelty
is amazon cloth ornamented with a fiat
band of feather trimming made of
lophophore, peacock or other brilliant
plumage.
THE most elegant material for visit
ing and dinner gowns this season is the
finest of plain cloth. It's weight makes
it possible to use brighter colors than
would be desirable in less solid fabric.
HERE is a suggestion which will prove
u convenience to every woman who
wears veil. Take the two ends and
plat them in little, soft, uptu ned plaits
and sew them with silk the color of the
veil in close little cluster. When the
veil is to be adjusted all there is to do is
TO fasten each of these ends with u suit
able pin.

What the Mile Laos Indians Would Gain
by Removing to White Earth.
Indian Commissioner Oar S. Hall.
who has been enjoying q vacation of a
couple Of days in the city, returned
last evening to Detroit where he will
resume his arduous duties in looking
after the interests of the Chippewa In
dams. He wishes to remain away
awhile and give them an opportunity
OF considering his proposition on their
removal to the White Earth reserva-
ton. He expects that in the course of
time they will see the advantages to be
derived from the change OF reserva-
tions and will hold out no longer
against his wishes. By removing to
White Earth, which they refuse to do
at present, the Mile Laos Indians will
come in for their share of the returns
from the sale of the pine lands which
are now being appraised and which
will bring, between S3,OOO,OOO and
$4,000, 900. This amount will yield the
InuldHS 0 percent. per annum, which
will be given to them annually in lieu
OF annuities. This is in addition to the
farms and annuities which are now
ready for them at the White Earth
reservation. Commissioner Hall states
that the chief work Of the commission
is in making the allotments to the In
dams. Four hundred Indians have al
ready been removed to the reservation
under the new commission, and the
authorities are at present busily en-
gagged in building claim cabins and
helping the Indians prepare for the APP
preaching winter. The commissioners
have great hope of these Indians MAX
ing good farmers. Several years ago
the Otter Tail Indians were removed
to White Earth, and although they
were considered one Of the worst
classes of Indians in the State, they
have made remarkable progress and
have raised abundant crops this last
season. Other Indians on the reserva-
ton have done equally we'll. Pioneer

The boys feel a little indignant at
the remarks made by the Isanti Press
over the rocky game of ball'' played
in Cambridge the other day. They
admit that the game was not played by
either side as well as it could have been
done, as both sides have played better
games before, although neither claims
to be professionals. AS for ''the
Princeton pitcher that the boys
brought along there is nothing to say
further than this, he has played with
the boys all the season and is one of
their nine and does not live in Prince
ton. 1t is a pity about those ''green
ones" taken in by the home club, as it
was remarked by many that they played
as good as the best. Terrible green
they were? However, the boys were
promised a return game on the Brook
grounds, and the Cambridge club has
failed to put in an appearance. Had
they come over they would have been
well treated and given something to
eat besides, free Of cost. AS for the
score which the Press was ashamed to
publish, there have been. plenty of
games played by both clubs still worse.
The game stood % to "a, Cambridge
one ahead on the ninth inning with
two men out, and those near the UNI
pire claimed that that tally was let in
on a foul.

THE New York Sun has discovered
that the true meaning Of Foraker's
Blaine racket at the meeting of repub-
lican clubs was a diversion that is to be
worked for the benefit of Alger. This
leads the Portland Oregonian to ex-
claim:
"The republican party may grow
emotional over a man of genuine ability
and political genius, like Blaine, but it
will not dance to the minor music OF the
Blainette, playing serenade airs under
the window of Gen. Alger. The dis
lance between Blaine and Alger is like
that between Augustus and Augusta
lus; between Napoleon the Great and
the prisoner of Sedan. President Har,
rlson is known and trusted for what he
is, and Foraker, Thurston, Clarkson 4
Go. are known and distrusted for what
they are, and for this reason Gen. Alger
is not likely to succeed Mr.. Harrison,
even if Mr.. Harrison does not succeed
himself"

tant America. Napoleon stirred hopes
that died with his defeat. 1t was
French influence that indirectly caused
the revolt of 1870, when defeat brought
renewed misery on the Polish people.
The guerilla rising OF 1850 proved tho
nation still possessed OF the splendid
heroism of their ancestors, and OF their
unfortunate po%werleasness to shake off
the foreign yoke. Between 1860 and
1864, at least 100000 Poles suffered
death and exile, and their captured
chiefs we're either shot or hanged.
There is no blacker page in the long
chapter of shady political ~aggrandize-
ment than the lawless partition OF
Poland. 1t is scarcely possible that the
country will ever regain it's ancient
freedom, but, wherever patriotism and
heroism are words that stir the soul,
the fame of Koscuisko and his gallant
Poles will never die.

THE ATTACK ON BLAINE.

Manly protests from independents
republican journals against the offensive
attitude Of Harrison organs towards
Blaine come from every quarter, but we
have seen no more forcible statement
Of the case than this from our esteemed
contemporary, the Helena Herald:
In the case of a member of the cabinet
who owes his elevation not to any special
prominence or service in the party, but to
the personal Partially of the president
and to illustrate what we mean MIR. Proctor
and Mr.. Noble might be named-a proper
feeling would no doubt require that he
should refrain from seeking the nomination
in opposition to his chief. But he must be
q very blind man who cannot recognize the
difference between the case which is thus
stated and that of MIR. Blaine. The state
ment which has been freely made that Mr..
Harrison was required to pledge himself to
make Mr.. Blaine secretary of state before
he could secure the support necessary to
nominate him, may or may not be true; 1t
is quite certain that MIR. Blaine never him
osed on any one. But. pledges aside. the
fact remains that the existing conditions
practically denied to Gen. Harrison his
freedom of choice. Mr.. Blaine was not
only the leader of his party, but he was as
signed to the portfolio of foreign affairs in
the cabinet by an overwhelming sentiment.
It may be said without serious exaggeration
that he holds his commission from the re-
publican party, and that the president only
exercised Z delegated authority in signing
his name to it.
II follows that Mr.. Blaine is under no
obligations to Gen. Harrison except to de-
vote his best talents and efforts to the eff
cient administration of the department
over which he presides. On the other hand
the president is considerably indebted to
Mr.. Blaine; and Mr.. Harrison's too Jealous
friends should be requested TO bear in mind
that if their favorite is renominated he
will owe his success, more than any other
circumstance, to the brilliant management
of our foreign affairs which has % greatly
commended itself to the approval of the
people.
The course of MI. Harrison's support
ers naturally creates such a feeling on
the part of Mr.. Blaine's friends and, if
popular opinion had it's perfect work,
many delegates would go to the next ma
tional convention prepared to rebuke
the men who are thus seeking to injure
the most popular nan in the party; but
the workers and wirepullers are pretty
generally enlisted for Harrison and the
loaves and fishes, and the machine in
such cases almost invariably wins the
day against unorganized enthusiasm.
In Montana, where not five per cent. OF
the republican voters want Harrison
the chances are that clever manipula-
ton will secure a Harrison delegation.

ALAS, POOR

In the month of May, one hundred
years ago, the eyes of political Europe
were centered with keen interest on
Poland. The little kingdom seemed to
be taking to itself a new lease of life.
The diet, which convened in 1888, had
lasted longer than any one Of its prede-
cessors, and the majority of it's members
had proved themselves possessed of the
purest spirit of patriotism combined
with progressive ideas. Hope was burn
ing high in Poland in 1871. The condi-
ton of the burgher and the peasant
classes had been improved by the diets
legislation. That eternal curse of the
country's brightest aspirations, the no.
bles' power Of veto, had been suppressed,
the throne declared hereditary, and Au-
gustus of Saxony announced as the sue
cessor of Stanislaus. The Roman Cath
Ole religion was declared the religion OF
the country, but, with a broad-mlnded-
ness the worthier of admiration by its
rarity in those days, nonconformity was
assured of respectful liberation. But
the diet WAS too far in advance of its
times. Religious liberation might have
been borne, the improvement of the
%peasantry might have passed. But,
when the legislative body bestowed up
on the burgher class the same privileges
rs the nobility possessed in sending dep
uties to the diet, they proved their own
fitness to be citizens of a free and indie
pendent state, and they wrecked their
country.
The mobiles met in confederation at
Targovlca, resented what they consid
cred an alienation of their hereditary
rights, and, with the base selfishness
that had always characterized their ac-
ton as a class, appealed for aid to Rus
STA. Russia, as usual, was wiling tc
champion the cause of the oppressed
for a consideration. The consideration
in this instance proved to be the military
occupation of Warsaw, and, with thu
consent of the feeble old king, the ex
tension of the Russian frontie.
