President Harrison was SO cordially re-
Ceiyed by the people uf the South that he
will want to 20 again, There is no more

Mr.. Watterson's whisper to the Texan
Sea- GWi that Mr. Clcveland's nomination
depends upon New York has been car
ried far aud wide, for gulls of the Texan
variety are swift on the wing. Is it
hint for renewed activity on the part of
the Cleveland host, or hint TO Mr.. Hill
that he must support his rival or see New
York oyershadowed by Kentucky and
Oshkosh in the National Convention

The recent publication in orders from
Army Headquarters of the names Of of
fiCers and mon who during the years 1886
and 1887 distinguished themselves by
specially meritorious acts and conduct has
now been followed by similar publica-
ton for the year 1883. That the renewal
of this custom, with due attention to
arrears. is thoroughly justified these reci-
tails themselves sufficiently show. Many
OF them are concerned with the Apache
campaigns including the famous ex-
petition Of Crawford and Lawton against
Geronimo and the hard marches and
fights Of the other officers. Noticeable
among the gallant acts are those of Lieu
tenant i. II. Clarke, Sergeant Adams and
Private SChnitZcr in rcsCuing and carry

while exposed to a sharp fire from
the Indians --Nsw York Times.
The arrival of Mrs. James G.. Blaine, ir.
at Sioux Falls for the well understood
purpose of entering an action for divorce
from her husband which. under the laws
of South Dakota, she will be able to do
after ninety days residence has elicted
the information that there are thirteen
other ladies i'm Sioux Falls on the same
mission bent, Without discussing the
merits of Mrs. Blaine's case, beyond stat
ing that, from the circumstances so far as
known, she appears to he the victim of
harsh and cruel treatment, il is well TO
suggest the question whether such cases
as these are in accordance either with the
spirit of the law or with the intent of the
trainers. II is hardly conceivable that the
South Dakota Legislature ever aspred to
making the State the rendezvous of every
couple having matrimonial differences to
settle.-St. PdW DiPatcb.
Mr.. Clarksons election by unanimous
vote to be president of the League of Re-
publican Clubs is an accurate barometric
indication of the real attitude of the Re

America honors the Secretary of State
as she honors no other American citizen
but she feels as if his son and namesake is
not representative American and takes
no pride in the attentions paid him in
Europe. Personally he is as good as AL

James G.. Blaine is now far in the lead
as the Republican candidate for President
in 1899, and therein is his peril. 1t is
true that, for the first time in his public
career, the issues which make him indis
putably the foremost candidate of hi,
party for the Presidency are not issues in
vented and formulated as political ex
pedients. IhHadelphid Times.
The only orders and decorations which
could possibly recognize the real distinc-
ton of an American citizen are those indie
