THE remark is made that President Har

rison's Burchard is likely to be found in his

The Characteristic of Burchard is that he
spoils by indiscretion the otherwise roseate
chances of cabinet; and President Harri-
son at this stage of the proceeding has no
chances to spoil.

THE COWBOYS DEADLY LAsso.

He Used Ii with Fatal Effect On Hi.
Successful Rival.
From the st. Louis Globe -Democratl
The love affairs of the cowboys would
make many interesting chapters. One that
is particularly grewsome is told of a cow
boy named Flint. While north he had met
and fallen in love with waitress at the
hotel, and before he returned to the ranch
had won from her promise to marry him
on his next trip.
He went back to the ranch, bidding her
fond goodbye, and through the next ten
months saved and dreamed, anxious for
the meeting between himself and his sweet
heart He could hardly wait for the slow
progress of the herd over the prairies, and
kept always near the leaders in order to
get to the town early. In the meanwhile,
another lover had won his mistress favor
and had, too, been accepted One after
noon in the early fall the two went riding
in a carriage out south of the city. They
were along the trail, when, as they came
over the bluff, they found themselves near
the head of large herd of cattle.

uation in an instant Unloosing the long
rawhide lariat which hung on his saddle
horn, he dashed the spurs into his pony
and rode for the carriage. The girl
shrieked as she recognized him, and the
| new lover lashed his team to escape. But
to no purpose.
The curling line of rope went reaching
out certainly and with almost life-like in
telligence. 1t settled around the neck of
the driver, and as the lover turned his po-
ny in another direction the man shot ont
of the carriage and was dragged over the
sod helplessly and roughly.
On and on the avenger spurred his horse,
the body bobbing over the sod at the end
| of the lariat behind. Soon they were out OF
sight behind knoll, and the rider was
never seen again by his companions. The
new lovers body was found mile away,
dead, broken lariat still attached to its
| neck.

Mrs. Myra Bradwen is the editor of the
Chicago Legal News, and her opinion
about judges gowns ought to be worth
having. She says: Justice should be ad-
ministered in accordance with the simple
ity of our government, and without pomp
and show. What would be said If our
judges should bedeck themselves with
wreaths, flowers and ribbons while on the
benchi Gowns are unmanly, and in warm
weather do not add to the comfort of the
men who wear them. If gown would
add to the ability or wisdom of Judge,
there would be some reason for adopting
the gown as court dress. There is no
dress that becomes an American judge 30
well as that of plain American citizen. IL
a gown is thought to be necessary to the
proper administration of justice. would it
not be well to so change the law that wo-
men, who know how to wear the gown
with dignity and gracs, should occupy the

The German imperial bureau of work
ingmen's insurance against accidents has
lately issued its report covering the year
1890. In the course of that year there were
200, ,439 accidents to workingmen under the
operation of the insurance laws, and in the
cases of 42, ,206 of these an indemnity was
paid. Of the total accidents calling for in
demnity, 5,s22 caused death, 2,7O0 entire
21,674 permanent partial in
and II, ,913 temporary incapac-
ity. The indemnity paid amounted. all
told, to 19, ,9s1 1894 marks, as against H.
464, 1903 paid in 1889, 9,6s1, AL in 1888 and
5 ,932, $50 in 1887. This steady increase is
mostly due to the extension of the insur-
ance legislation year by year, 30 as to en-
brace new trades and industries. Still, it
appears that even within the limits of the
same trade the accidents are much more
than formerly, and complaints
are made in the report of the too frequent
cases of pretended injuries"

FREE TRADERS SHOCKED.

The free traders have received another
severe shock. Consul-G General Booker, in
the discharge of his official duty to report
to the British government the condition
and progress of industries in this country,
declares that new and higher duties have
afforded benefit to American manufactur-
ing interests and impaired new life to the
cotton and woolen industry everywhere,
but especially is this the case in southern
States, where new textile mills are going
up with surprising activity, while all the
old mills are being operated on full time"
He further says in his official report that
the silk industry is the only exception to
this state of general prosperity; but he
does not say, and perhaps was not aware,
that the obvious explanation is found in
the fact that the duties on silk manufac-
lures were not changed by the new tariff.
The Tribune very pertinently says con-
eerning this matter: This official report is
in some respects the most cruel blow that
the free traders in this country have ever
received. They have fairly deafened man
kind for five years or more with their out
cries against protection, on the pretence
that it was in fact retarding American in
dustry. Before the new tariff was adopt
ed, during all those years when Democratic
majorities in the house were fighting for
the Mills bill or other measures of like ma
ture, the pretence was that protection was
| starving out the industries of this country,
by rendering production more costly and
cutting off the markets that they needed,
and the only possible remedy was reduc-
ton of duties. After the people rspudiated
this theory in 1888 and the Mckinley bill
was framed, the same body of free traders
set up the pretencs that it would only pros
trate the industries of this country by max
ing the production still more costly and by
depriving the country still more of foreign
markets for its products.
With the people of England waking up
to the fact that free trade hasn't done for
them what they were told it would do, the
free traders in this country will feel be-

maneuvers of the widest Cavalry
men and Finest Riders In the
World.
tFrom the Chicago Herald.l
We saw horses jumping like panthers
and men jumping like monkeys. We saw
cavalrymen booted, with their carbines
hands, charging while standing upright
upon their saddles. Others would pass at
full speed beside Cossacks stretched upon
the ground pick them up like pocket hand
kerohiefs, and carry them off across the
groups of their saddles. Others again
would pivot upon their saddles and play
all the antics of circus clowns One horse,
tripping upon some obstacle, apparently
rolled completely over the rider. We
thought he was killed upon the spot, but he
jumped up, laughing heartily while he re-
arranged his damaged trousers.
When the maneuyer was finished the de-
file began. Thrice the squadrons defiled
before their colonel, FIRST at q walk, then at
q trot and lastly at q charge. The charge
was something terrific. The Cossacks are
armed and equipped In such o manner that
at distance 1t is impossible either to see
or to hear them. The uniforms are somber,
the scabbards ore of leather and their
weapons are darkened. There is no flash
ing OF clashing of steel, and little or no
sound. And yet the whole troop Of men
, and horses pass noiselessly by at full
speed, like living squall. Tho colonel
scrutinized the appearance of each squad

shouted: ssKaIaeho!' CsVery goodn9 to

The speeches have been made, the
diplomas been given, tho class reunions
held, and now for the most important
event of Commencement Week. To-day
sixteen young men who have been hard at
work for months will put all this work
to the test in about twenty minutes and it
will then be seen which is the greater

the contest with far greater interest than
has been displayed over the exercises in
New Haven.
There isn't as much talk against college
athletic contests as there was. 1t has
been found that such talk doesn't do much
good, and the sneaking regard which even
the most earnest protester has for excel
lent displays of strength and skill takes
the edge off his protest. 1t must be ad-
mitted that college athlete isn't apt to be
great success in the class room, though
there are notable exceptions to the rule.
But he does get An education, and one
that may be very useful. The long
training, the self-control, the e1-
acting discipline, are good things
for young man. By them he acquires
or strengthens qualities which are very
useful in the struggle for daily bread.
And what little education of literary
kind he may get wont hurt him. Many
of the prominent athletes who have grad
uated are fine examples of what men
ought to be, and We believe that on the
whole those who represent the colleges
in the important branches of rowing,
baseball, football, and other games of
skill and strength turn out pretty we'll.
And when it is remembered that many of
them would not under any circumstances
be profound scholars it is difficult to see
any great harm in the present condition of
affairs.
Therefore we hope that the Yale eight
will shed honor on themselves and their
university to-day.
