The opponents Of the Louisiana Lottery have
good reason TO be cast down. But it is TO be
hoped that they have not abandoned the fight for
the honor of their State and the cause of good
morals. 1t is darkest just before daybreak, says
the old saw. The election of April, 1892, will de-
eide whether or not Louisiana's monumental shame
and disgrace are to be perpetuated. A good deal
can be accomplished in a year by men who are IN
dead earnest Let the anti-lottery forces get to
work without delay and conduct red-hot CAM
paign and they may win glorious victory.

Some of the property-owners at Long Branch
do not take kindly to the proposed plan OF saving
the beach from the ravages of the ocean. They
evidently belong to that class of people who believe
in taking things they come, but who grumole
loudly when things don't come. In this case,
however, the ocean has come. and is keeping on
coming. The plan Of protecting the BLUM Is
costly one, but it is better to spend consider
able sum in saving it now than to have no BLUM
to save few years hence. In the opinion Of
experienced engineers, the scheme of O bulkhead
and jetties will accomplish the purpose. Certainly
it seems worth trying. if only as desperate
remedy for desperate situation.

There is pregnant lesson in the promps sup

elected Mayor Under his predecessors the news
papers clamored in vain for reform. The police de-

BRAVE CAPTAIN WALLACE.
He Was Beloved rs the Ugliest Onlcer In
the Army.

ST. LOUIS, January >. - Captain
George ID. Wallace, Of the Seventh Cav
airy. who was killed at the battle with
the Indians on Porcupine Creek, on
Monday, was formerly located at
Jefferson Barracks, Immediately
south of st. Louis. ard his strik-
ing figure and remarkably ugly face
were familiar here. lie was born in
South Carolina, and graduated from
West Point in 1872. He was assigned
to the frontier. Under leaders like
Custer and Reno he soon be-
came acquainted with the ways
of Indians, although prairie lie was
new TO him. After having become ac-
quainted with the tactics followed in
fighting Indians he was often given
charge of expeditions in which condsld-
erable strategy was required to make
them successful. lie took leading
part in the winter campaign of 1876
against the Sioux in the Black
Hills. On the day that Custer fell
Wallace, then Lieutenant, was twenty
miles away from the scene. lie diStln-
guished himself as an Indian fighter and
became captain on September, 23,
1885.
Not long after he was detailed as in
structor in the school at Leavenworth.
While at that military post he met the
woman who. four years ago, became his
wife. From Fort Leavenworth lie
came to St. Louis, assuming charge OF
the school OF rifle practice at the Jeifer-
a a.
again sent to the frontier. IL Is said OF
Captain Wallace that during the winter
campaign that marked the closing years
of the 7O's, and the opening OF the SOS,
he had often gone for nights at time
without sleep so that his tired sentl-
mel could rest. On one ocoa-
sion he took the coat oil his own back
and wound it around the shoulders OF
sick soldier who had lost his while the
company was fording a river. HIS
brother officers at Jefferson barracks
frequently told him he wGs the ugliest
man the barracks had ever seen,
and he was willing TO admit 1t:
In fact he made boast OF 1t, and
one day i'm the officers club room
he said IL ever an uglier man than ne
came to jefferson barracks he would set
mn the beer for all the boys. Then the
officers changed their line of attack.
Every day or two they would produce
man .who is ugller than Wallace The
CAPTAIN would not agree with them
and steadily refused to pay for the
beer. One day he was looking over a
hatch OF new recruits. One face caught
his attention. He called the man Tor
ward and looked him over. Presently
the captain said: go to the suffers store
and get keg OF beer with a spiggot In
IL Tell him TO charge it to me.
"What for?" asked the recruit, VINO
had not much experience in ooeying or

WAsHINGToN, January 2.-Senator
Faulkner told the REGISTER correspond
ent some days ago that the Republicans
bad no course open to them IL they
wanted 10 pass the Force bill but TO ex-
haust the Democrats by keeping the
Senate In continuous session day and

covered this fact for themselves, and to-

ing it next week. They expected TO take
up and pass the cloture rule on Tuesday
next, but this scheme has fallen through,
and instead they will give the Force
bill itself precedence, and see what
they can do with il by sitting up nights.
The reason that they give for this
change of plan is the complaint made
by Senators Teller, Hale and other Re-
publicans, that no attempt had yet been
made TO get vote on the bill, or that
the adoption of 4 cloture was not
warranted until such an attempt had
been made and failed.
Speaking of the prospect of Strug-

day: ave are not afraid of it. The
Democrats have been looking for some
thing Of the kind for some time and

THE TRADE REVIEW.
BUSINESS OF TIE COUNTRY FOR THB PAST

New YORK, January 2.-R. G.. Dun
4 Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
The new year opens with SO much un-
certainty that there is a natural dispo-
sition TO dwell upon the crowding rec
ords of the year just closed, which show
an extraordinary volume OF business in
many lines, surprising all precedent.
Iron, cotton, leather, boot and shoe
and meat production were larger than
in any previous year. At Boston $685.
2ll cases OF boots and shoes were ship
ped, against 3,399,9s0, a gain OF per
cent. The Clearing House exchanges
show that the volume OF business in 1880
exceeds that OF any previous year by at
least 10 per cent.
The reports from other cities are al
most uniformly confident in tone, and
indicate good volume OF fair condition
of trade. The South rejoices in great
crops and wonderful manufacturing
growth,
At Chicago. though money Is close,
confidence rapidly revives. collections
are easy, the years trade exceeding by
per cent that Of 1889 In general mer-
chandise. At Cleveland jobbers are
surprised at the fullnes OF collections,
but twenty-five iron furnaces In the
Mahoning region are about TO close.
Pittsburg reports decline of % cents
in pig iron, weaker finished products
and reduction in price OF coke to FUR
naces from S2.l0 to Sl.95, though the
Shenango furnaces are also about TO
close. At Philadelphia the gro
Gerry business has been satisfac-
tory with good collections. AT
Boston conditions are deemed IA
vorable, wool is fairly active. The
iron industry does not improve as the
closing of many furnaces indicate.
Speculative markets have been COM
paratively dull but wheat has advanced
half cent and oats &c, with corn &c
lower, coffee &c lower, oil &c higher,
lard 20 cents per 100 pounds higher.
The stock market has been dull rath-

able to induce the hostiles to surrender
without a struggle. The spot where
they are encamped he describes as

fight. 1t is an excellent position from an
Indian standpoint. but there are now nc
avenues of escape, all having been cioseu
by the troops. Gen. Miles says that In
dians have gathered some cattle and
provisions and appear to be determined
to make their fight for supremacy al
this point. He says he will make an
other effort TO get them back to the
Agency without bloodshed and In order
TO do so, he has established Il regular
siege around this stronghold.
Gen. Schofield said this morning that
there is no truth in the report tele-
graphed from the west that Gen. Brooke
had been relieved from his command at
Pine Ridge. Gen Miles, lie added, has
charge of the campaign, and as IL has
progressed he has stationed himself at
the most convenient points for general
communication with his forces.

CAUSE OF INDIAN OUTBREAKS.
A Letter From tile Dead Catholic Nils.
sionary Explains Some Things.

New YORK, January 1.-THE New
York Frcemdn's Journal will publish to-
morrow a letter from Father Craft, the
Catholic Indian missionary who was re-
Gently killed by tie Indians. The let
ter was dated Pine Ridge Agency, ).
d., and is addressed TO the editor OF the
Freenan's Journal. Father Craft said
in the beginning the Indians hoped Tor
much aid from the government to en-
able them to become like the whites.
They were, however, in every way
abused, Knocked and discouraged. In
stead of being wards they have felt
they were the victims of INSCRIPTIONS
politicians who benefited by their
misery.
Father Craft adds: II know what |
say, for have sAared their sutferings
for many years. In their despair Gen
eral Crook brought them hope. Their
confidence in him led them 10 hope that
he would be able to realize their hopes.
His death was their death blow, and
they felt it,
"Indians are not fools, but men Of
keen intelligence. Reductions in ra-
tions increased their fears. Even In
dian agents protested against such
cruelty. Mr.. Lee, who took the census,
made grave mistakes, counted less than
the real numbers and made false reports
of prosperity that did not exist. 1t is
not to be wondered that they believed
In Messiah, whom they at first doubt
ed, and listened to overy deceiver who
promised hope. Interested whites took
advantage of this state OF affairs and
howled for troops.
THE army Indignantly protested
against their false statements but had
to go to the scene of the supposed danger.
Just as the tree can be traced from
from its smallest branch to its root, so
can the Indian troubles be traced to
starvation and misery of Indians"
In the conclusion of his letter Father
Craft arraigned Commissioner Morgan

can Senators.

can Senators.
WASHINGTON. January Some quiet
consultation has been in progress among
the Republican Senators in the city
with reference 10 the next weeks pro-
ceedings.
The speeches made by Senators Tel
Ter and Wolcott last Tuesday have made
some impression, but as they were ex-
pected their effect was not so marked as
that resulting from the few remarks
made by Senator Hale In his complaint
that trial had not been made OF the Old
fashioned methods to secure action upon
the election bill, he undoubtedly voiced
the feeling of some other conservative
Republican Senators VINO feel that 1t
would be unwiSe TO ochange the rules and
adopt the cloture until the usual routine
methods had proven ineffective. The
talk this morning reveals disposition
To allow this conservative element 10
satisfy itself by an actual trial OF the
old campaign which resolves itself into
a matter Of physical endurance. This
would involve the holding OF night Ses-
sions of the Senate in addition to the
usual daylight sessions; just how many
no one can tell, but as many as may De
necessary to convince the Senators who
are still reluctant to admit the necessity
for Il clOture rule.
Inasmuch as there is a general desire
among the Republican Senators to con-
fer upon the subject in caucus there
was no disposition evidenced TO arrange
a programme upon this basis to-day. but
the general tone of the discussion may
be significant as foreShadowing one re-
suit of the caucus.
