IN an informal statement to the na- tional executive the secretary of war estimates that the recent Indian out break has cost the government at least two millions of dollars-said estimate, of course. not including the allowance for the support of the Indians, which have already been appropriated and withheld, and making no account either of the melancholy sacrifice of human life, and the destruction of private property all ways involved in snch outbreaks. The logical question at once suggests it. self-would it not be much cheaper as well as more honorable to deal honestly with the Indians from the start, by putting the agencies under the control of honest men, unintluenced by politics General Miles, who knows whereof he speaks, has put on record his belief that the Indian does not enter from choice on war in which he is always sure to be beaten. He is first cheated and then starved into hostilities. The record is a disgrace to our so called civilized, chris. tian government.

BURIED FIVE DAYS.
The Imprisoned Miners at NanticolSe Res
 cued by Brave Comrades.

Inc Imprisoned NAiners Vt NhnttcoNo kSeb@
 cued by Brave Comrades.
 NANTIcoKE, Pa., Feb. 10.- John Riner, Wm. Cragie and Michael Shellank, the miners imprisoned in No. Slope, grand tunnel, on last Wednesday by deluge of water which broke upon them from an abandoned working, were found alive at 8 a. m., and at 2 o'clock they were car ried from the mine to their homes.
 They were found by the gang of res cuers at the top of a cross heading. Here they had waited in darkness and gloom, but not without hope, for rescue.
 At 2 o'clock George Bendel managed to float upon a raft across the water which yet filled the bottom of the gangway. The imprisoned men heard him and faint ly came the cry "We are up here, all alive and waiting for you"
 Bendel took up the joyous shout and sent it across the water in thrilling measures: "'They are alive! alive! alive !''
 They men were soon reached and later they were out in the sunlight with their comrades hugging them and kissing them like madmen, and welcoming them as the dead come to life again. There have been many touching scenes around the black mouths of the mines here abouts, but seldom one that moved mems hearts more than did the wild demon strations over these poor rescued miners.
 Milk was given them as nourishment, and they were carried upon the shoul- ders of their rescuers to their homes. They are the heroes of the day and for a long time to come, until some other great disaster has overshadowed their adven. ture they will have to tell over and over again the story of those five awful days of darkness and despair.
 The physician in attendance, says the men must subsist on beef tea for a mum. Der of days, and they will be all right in a short time, except, possibly, Riner, who is slightly poisoned in the feet from the sulphur water of the mine

 In the second round, Woods gave Con ley a hard one on the nose, and followed it with knockdown. As Conley arose, he received a settler on the jaw and was knocked out,

THE new electoral college, as it will be affected by the latest congressional ap- portionment, is occasioning good deal of speculation as to its influence on the next presidential election, assuming that the new distribution of electors will obtain in 1899. The apparent effect of these changes is adverse to the dem ocracy. In 1884 Mir Cleveland had a majority of thirty-seven electoral votes. If the democratic candidate should carry the same states in 1899 that he did in 1884. his majority would be but eight If, on the other hand. the states should vote as they did in 1888, when Mir Har- rison had a majority of siXty-tive, the republican majority would be ninety four. All this is based on the assump- tion that parties are not changing throughout the country, and that the old lines have not been disturbed.

UNLESS some great change takes place in our financial or social system. the bill lionaire is certainly coming and at n rapid pace. In the last twenty years, while rates of interest have been con stantly declining ill America, vast for tunes have increased more rapidly than before. Several non-speculative estates have increased fivefold in less than forty years. Interest is now very low; but adding to interest the steady increment of city lands, an addition of at least four per cent per annum, at compound interest, may be counted upon for these great estates. At that rate, present fortune of S2OO, ,O0O, ,OOO would become a billion in less than forty years. Finan- cial conditions remaining unchanged, the American millionaire might reasonably be looked for within that time and several billionaires might be expected within sixty years.

CHESTER, Pa, Feb. 10. 0.-Another un successful attempt was made to get the Mallory Line steamer Concho off the ways at Roach's ship yard. The vessel moved out eight feet more and then re- fused to budge. It was concluded to block the vessel up again, and make a third attempt to baptize it on Saturday next. It is probable that she will have to be pulled of with the aid of tugs.

The trouble with all imitators is that they are apt to overloook the excellencies and copy the defects. Sensible men adopt sensible things whether they are native or foreign. The great point is to avoid going to extremes. Our styles are in good taste simply because We throw aside the ab- surdities and avail ourselves of the best ideas wherever we find them. They in elude nothing that good, sound common sense will not immediately approve of
 We can fit any shape and size.

Belief That Liberal Victory Would
Tend to Her Pardon.
LONDON, July 1S.-The monster COM
mittee which is interested III securing
the release of the young and beautiful
Mrs Florence Elizabeth Maybrick, the
American who was convicted of poison
ing her husband, and is now under
going a sentence of life imprisonment,
is quietly but not the less earnestly con-
tinulng it's work. During the past
month over 10000 names have been
added to a petition. Among them are
those of ladies prominentin the nobi-
ity and aristocracy, of philanthro-
pists and of educators. The work
will be continued indefinitely
or until the dissolution of Parliament.
The fact is recognized that Home
Secretary Matthews has SO strongly
committed himself against the untor-
tunate woman that it would be worse
than useless to attempt to induce him
to present the petition with any words
in its favor, but tits believed that should
