FOR the first time in the history of political national conventions in the United States the republican national convention at Minneapolis will contain full-blooded Indian, and that Indian will be delegate from Oklahoma. He is "White Turkey" chief of the Shaw nees, and as good a republican as any of his white brethren. He is full-blood, and during the war assisted the federal forces in every way in his power, and commanded a company of Indian sol dicrs. He is lineal descendant of that old war chief, Tecumseh, who was de- feated long ago by William Henry liar rison, the ancestor of the man he now goes to help renominate to the highest office in the land.

HAVING completed the term of i'm prisonment to which he was sentenced, for his fraudulent Wall street dealings, Ferdinand Ward-the so- o-called "electric young banker" was, last week. released from the New York state prison, and the fact is noted in the newspapers with about the same prominence they would give to the return of an explorer, who had developed the capacity of nen
 territory of the republic. Whether Wards punishment-which the whole community believed to be not only we'll deserved, but exceptionally light, in view of all the circumstances connected with his crimes-has been reformatory, is best known to himself. In it's incl dents it has been remarkable. During his imprisonment, his wife, his father and others that were near and possibly dear to him have died; and thus fate and human justice have jointly visited him, and though he might be tried again and probably imprisoned still further, it is probable that the general verdict will be that he has had enough.
 It was singular coincidence that his release took place on the very day when the city of New York was celebrating, by the laying of the corners stone of his monument, the anniversary of the birth of General Grant, upon whose name and confidence Ward traded, and carried out his swindling schemes, and whom he had nearly succeeded in involving in the meshes of his dishonest transactions

The trouble seems to be that the democratic majority is so large that some of the members think that their presence is not necessary. This is a mistake that must be brought home to them.

PARIS promises to send us something new in the way of a barrel organ which may not be appreciated. The organ grinder sets down his instrument in front of the house he has in view. He winds it up like clock, after which it will go by itself for an hour, while he adjourns for refreshment to any pub lie house over the way. After the or gan has played for a quarter of an hour or so the dwellers begin to find it a nuisance. A servant sent out to see what can be done to stop it reads over the organ the following notice: ''If you wish this organ to stop, put penny in the slot" The penny is dropped in and the organ is silenced. It resumes its melody, however, at the end of five min utes, and keeps it up until another pen ny is squandered.

PRACTICAL jolkers too seldom meet with that rigor of treatment which their sometimes painful pranlzs should insure them, but one of them got his just deserts the other day. He startled the occupants of the ladies' cabin of g Staten Island ferryboat by holding al arms length suspicious-loolring black bag, which he said contained dynamite He playfully informed them that he was about to drop the bag and thus blow up the boat. The passengers flew in all directions-an but three, who overpowered the joker by breaking his jaw with club. There was nothing dangerous in the bag. The joker has not since laughed at his part in the per formance.

FROM AN OPEN WINDOW.

John Dauauart, who has been rooming
at the Palmer house on North Main street
for several days, fell from a third story
window at an early hour this morning, hit
ting on the porch running at the second
floor and breaking his left thigh. Dau-
quart says he had been drinking and
thinks he must have plunged through the
open window at the end of the
corridor while in a fit Of de-
lirium. The fall. in addition to
breaking his leg. sobeled him completely.
He had only come in a few minutes before
and zone to his room on the third floor.
without taking off any of his clothing he
walked out into the landing and plunged
through the window. The landlord heard
him fall and, getting assistance. had Dau~
quart carried into the house. Later he was
taken to the county farm for treatment,

Dauquart struck 10 not very wide, and on

the chances are his injuries would have
been much more serious.

MIR. HARRIsON'S APPEAL.

In his plea for reelection Mr.. Harri-
son argues with the skill and specious-
ness of a well-trained lawyer. But he
starts from a false premise. He says:
ga vote OF want Of confidence is asked
by our adversaries and this challenge to
review what has been done we promptly
and gladly accept"
We beg to submit that that vote was
taken two years ago on the first occasion
on which the voters of the United States
had a chance to pass upon the acts OF
Mr.. Harrison's administration. The
war tariff and the force bill at that time
had been presented to the electors for
their approval or disapproval. Those
issues were fully and freely discussed
before the people, from one end of the
country to the other. and the result was
that only seven states OF the forty-iour
approved the policy of tho administra-
ton. In England such an overwhelm-
ing vote OF lack of confidence would
have been followed by a dissolution OF
the cabinet and a reversal OF the policy
OF the administration. Our political
system is different in this country, and
we get no such quick response to the
popular demand. The best we can do
is to elect a house of representatives
not in sympathy with the administra-
ton, to form a barrier against the
schemes Of a wrons-headed executive
and hold him in check until the expira-
ton OF his term, when he can be re-
moved from power. This the electors
of the United States did in the case OF
President Harrison in 1890. They de-
stroyed his power, called a halt to his
policy, and since hat time he has been
able to do nothing. Two years of q
force bill and high tariff policy we're
enough. The people said they would
have nc more Of them, and they have
had their way.
No president in the history OF the
country was ever SO Overwhelmingly re-
buked as was Mr.. Harrison midway in
his term. What has he done since 1890
to regain the confidence of the country?
What new policy has he proposed?
What greater claim has he now for the
suffrages of the people than he had two
years ago? He may argue ever SO
adroitly for a war tariff; he may juggle
cunningly as be will with figures; he
may cover the claws of the force bill

''THE instant that natural condition

m "IHE instant that natural conditions,
lawful purposes, and just limitations Of
taxation are violated; the instant that
the state takes property from its citi-
zens that is not needed or takes inequi-
tably that which is needed, that instant
the exercise Of the power becomes a
matter OF will and might, and not Of law
and right. The greatest evils that
characterize free and popular govern
ments of to-day are evils that result
from the abuse Of taxation, and their
magnitude and tendency to increase are
so great as to make the boast of indi-
vidual freedom on the part of citizens in
respect to the full ownership and con-
troll of their property very often little
more than an ~unmeaning phrase. Shall
these abuses be recognized and toler-
ated, and a tendency to further progress
in this same direction be encouraged, or
shall they be met with stern and IN
compromising protests, immediate check,
and ultimate complete arrest and pre-
vention? These are the real questions
at issue at the present time between the
two great political parties of this
country. and the situation exemplifies
anew the lesson Of history-that all the
great contests for freedom from the
earliest times have originated in abuses
Of taxation. "-David A. Wells.
