What Dcter,nlnatIon Can DO.

Chief McNichol has given Wheeling
another Sunday Of his administration,
and this time there was no occa-
sion to make arrests for selling
liquor. This is very distinct gain
on the sido OF tho law. It is nc.
complishcd by giving tho Sunday sellers
to understand that We have at tho head
OF tho police force man who knows his
duty and intends to discharge It.
Tho chief has tho law-breakcrs down.
Hc has only to keep on as he has begun
and he will keep them down. II tho
people do not like tho now order OF
things they have tho law to blame and
may set about to have it repealed. That
is their part OF tho business. Tho
chiefs business is to enforce tho law as
he finds 1t.
1tis,a good law, and in his effort to
give 1t enforcement the chief should
have the suppart Of all good citizens.
Tho saloons OF Wheelingcan sell enough
in six days to keep the city from dying
OF thirst. Iis

''''Ns.". NpN' 's
BosToy, Jan. 3.-There has been SO
much criticism OF tho action OF the Bos.
ton public library trustees in excluding
Puck from the library periodical list
that tho board feels called upon to
make some explanation, and Mr. Abbott
gives these reasons for the boards
action:
"Tho children form tho great major
ity OF readers OF both Puck and Judge.
They flock in hero aftcr school TO look
at these big red, white and blue pic
lures, ,and tho effect is not the best.
Judge will be dropped for the game
reason when the subscription now paid
for expires, We object to the carica-
lures OF men holding the highest posi-
tons in this country, which children
don't know how to makca allowances for.
These men are not wholly bad, but the
children are easily convinced by these
pictures that they are. We have re.
duced the age for persons freQuenting

Breaks the Record.

The Albany Express says that David
B. Hill is the most successful political
manager the state OF New York haseye
produced. He could give points to
Aaron Burr, Martin Van Buren, and
Samuel J. Tildcn. Some very able pc.
litical managers have never lived in the
White House. Mr.. Hill "counts that
day lost whose low descending sun"
brings him in his minds eye no nearer
to that much-abused but .still very de-
sirable place,of residence.

The only safe way for purchasers is to
insist on having the genuine article,
and not allow themselves to be swindled
by having plasters said to be 'iust as
good,n or Containing superior ingred-
tents" imposed upon them. These are
only tricks to sell inferior good that no
more compare with Allcock's Porus
Plasters than copper does with gold.
Ono trial OF Allcock's Porus Plasters
will convince She most skeptical OF their
merits. -. y
The eminent Henry A. Mott, Jr., Phi.

certifies:
''My investigation OF Allcock's Porus
Plaster shows it TO contain valuable and

The East In Railroad Building.

The Railroad Gasctic notes tho remark
able fact that moro than half Of the
railroad building Is still in tho eastern
states. With the growth OF the great
west and the rehabilitation OF tho
south, it might have been supposed
that those regions would have tho
greater share OF railroad construction.
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that the great east increases in popula-
ton and that, considerable stretches OF
that productive region have yet to DO
supplied with railroad facilities.
The fact that the east more than
holds its own against other sections OF
tho country in railroad building, one OF
the sure indications OF progress, is a
substantial reminder that the east is
still in the race and likely to remain in

Tnniin. the Indian,

Just rs the country is informed that
there is to DO more ghost dancing, indi-
eating desire Of the aboriginal heart
for fighting, army officers who have
been inspecting the Indians enlisted in
the army, report that they make good
soldiers; their loyalty is not doubted
by their officers. and if they were sent
into action they would give good ac-
count OF themselves.
The Indians in the army are under
the same discipline as the white SOL
diers, are as we'll house and as well fed
They are made comfortable and 60
about their work as though they find
pleasure in it.
There has been suspicion that the
ghost-dancing proceeds primarily from
empty stomachs. The religious fanati-
cism takes hold afterward. Finding
that they have relied in vain on the
government, to provide them with the
nccessaries OF life, they begin dancing
as an appeal to the spirits to come to
their rescue. This is one OF the tho
cries OF the ghost dancing, and with
our indefinite knowledge OF its mean
ing, and our rather extensive knowledge
OF the traditional treatment OF the In
dian, it is easy to accept this as the bet
ter explanation.
The behavior of the Indian as a sol
dier is strongly suggestive OF the proba-
BILE behavior of the Indian as civilian
il he were well treated and made to
work under officers who would teach
him how to work. OF course, enlist
ment in the army is for the time a sew
erancc ofNthc tribal relation, and this is
another suggestion which cannot be too
often emphasized
We shall do best with the Indian by
treating him individually and treating
him we'll. ii We tame him first wc may,
tcivilizo.h him afterwards.
AN Interesting Political Movement.
Republicans of2Evansville, Indiana,
have formed Blaine club, anditis be-
lieved that the movement Widespread
over the state. Hitherto it has been
taken .for granted that if Mr.. Blaine will
accept he will be nominated This
would certainly: be true ii the conven-
ton were tovoice the sentiment OF the
Republican party, but recently appre-
hension on this point has been ex-
pressed in more than ono quarter
Friends OF President Harrison, per-
sons connected with his administration,
have been making moves on the polit.
ical chess board which indicate do
termination to gather in all the lIar-
rison delegates possible. EVERYBODY I'M
dorstands that Mr.. Blaine will not go
into n scramble for the nomination.
The most that has been hoped for is
that il the party, through tho conycn-
ton, shall with substantian unanimity
ask him TO bear the standard, he will
not decline.
Ifby hook or by crook enough dele,
gates can be got into the convention to
make an anti-Blaine diversion, the
sole condition on which Mr.. Blaine
would accept would be wanting. The re:
suit might DO Harrison. 1t might be
somebody else.
The Republicans who desire the nomi-
nation OF MIR. Blaine are wise to take
the necessary and customary precau-.
tons to get tho man they want. In
union is strength. Blaine clubs are a
good thing 10 hayo handy 1t will5not
do to take anything for granted inpoli-

Ten years ago the express office at
Lima, O., was robbed OF $1,000. Now
the United States Express company
brings suit for this amount with inter
est against the man who was at that
time chief OF police and his son. This
is a very delicate way of suggesting
that the express company thinks it
knows who got its money. The father
and son are well able to pay if the suit
goes against them.
