REGISTRATION.

The fact that local registration is much
larger than it was two years ago is sign OF
promise. 1t indicates an interest In the
issues to be determined for time In No.
vember and in the local movement for good
government. 1t is admitted that both the
old parties are divided both in respect to
leaders and measures TO be urged in the
event Of success. There is a clique in both
parties which advocates lavish expenditure
in municipal government, street extension
st the expense OF property-holders for the
benefit OF Spectators ana general cinch
oftax-payers for the benefit of tax eaters.
A Republican or a Democrat would hardly
know how TO vote in opposition TO such
measures had not the Nom Partisan conven-
ton decided to present ii ket absolutely
free from the speculative element Prob
ably oDe-half OF both parties are ready to
cooperate with the Non-Partisan as soon as
it becomes clear that good, honest govern
ment is its only purpose.

MAKES MONEY SCARCE.

III our orchardists could obtain reasonable
ireIght rates ON their fruit large quantities
would be consumed all through the Eastern
and interior States. Fruit would go to
small towns; but now freights are so ex-
cesslYe that these small towns cannot be
reached. hence our fruits are delivered in a
very lew large cities and there the work
stops. With the increased sale OF fruits
money would become plenty. Excessive
freight rates affect every mans business.
Even day laborers are affected injuriously
by the extortions Of the railroad company.

Saturday to find employment In America"
As there is no evidence Of a scarcity OF tim
plate either in the English or American
market the presumption is fair that the
falling off in the manufacture OF tinplate in
Wales must be made up in this country.
If no considerable work in that industry
was being done here the usual amount of
work would be done In Wales. The Welsh
manufacturers evidently have reason to
complain of the. Mckinley tariff, but
American complaints just now seem ILL

morning shows a new crop of black eyes and
broken noses; every wake and many a
christening rounds up about three acres of
the most beautiful fighting that ever
wrecked the furniture, all just for the love
OF 1t, without dollar of money put up in
either corner. And every day, somewhere
in this republic, some people who never
newspaper to tell the world how hungry
they were for human gore, meet each other
casually. have few spirited words, and
without the presence of surgeons witnesses,
and above all, stenographers, typewriters
and special artists, quietly shoot each other
full of what Edgar William Nye SO quantity
denominates '1arge, irregular holes, with
out any fuss or marketable correspondence
about it
However, people must be amused, and as
there has been for some time a general COM
plant from serious-minded people that the
stock of humor among our professional
humorists was running very low, and con.
fined to the most frivolous and inferior
grades, Providence kindly sets forth a
striking line of humor, furnished by harm
less duellists and long-winded pugilists.
Possibly the fact that these terribly serious
minded classes of non-combatant warriors
say and do things 80 much funnier than the
professional funny man can think of invent
ing, offers an explanation Of the decadence
of American newspaper humor. The funny
man is ''outclassed. He does the best he
can, but, alas, the people have been for so
many years accustomed to the regular sight
of his bismuthed cheeks and motley garb,
that he has grown commonplace and tire
some, and just when the public mind is hun
gry and eager for a novelty, 10! two new
clowns, one wearing pair of tour-ounce box
ing gloves and the other brandishing duel
ling pistol, come dancing into the sawdustring
and the shrieks of merriment that greet the
newcomers browns the feeble song of the
funny old clown of the Humpty Dumpty
pattern.

WORKING THE REDS FOB PROFIT.
How Agents Prcflted In the Good Old Times
When Fraud Was Easy.


How Agents Profised in the Good Old Times
When Fraud Was Easy.
Although all sorts Of charges are being
made continually against the Indian Bu-
reau, it is asserted that no department Of
the Government is more honest at present.
Complaint is actually made by the
agents in charge Of reservations that
they can no longer 'smake
cent" Scandals concerning them
have been so serious in the past that every.
BODY is watching them. One was heard to
admit with sigh not very long ago that the
only money he had earned in three years
outside of his legitimate pay was got by
chsrging Uncle Sam far car fares between
ed free. The Indians he was compelled to
treat with absolute honesty, owing to the
multiplied checks upon him. .... !.
A situation as agent in the "good old
times" was plum of the first magnitude.
Dummy" red men afforded almost un.
limited possibilities of profit They were
dead or imaginary savsges, who drew regu-
lar rations, supplies and annuities, all of
which went into the agents pocket.
Another little game was managed with
vouchers, which the Indians were always
ready to sign in blank on receiving
money for labor performed. When man
was paid $40 it was very easy to fill in the
acknowledgement for 5000, which was
charged against the appropriation for that
tribe, the agent thus securing $780, At the
Chippews Agency in Minnesota, in 1862.
$50 was due to each Of the 40 chiefs They
were told that they were entitled to only 50
each, and signed .h shs voucher on n, getting
made nets profit Of e1000.

Heat Our Homes-Country Homes but
as the meek man opened his mouth and
shook his head sadly without speaking, the
knob of the door against which Mr.. Cheeky
was leaning, entered his back, as was stated
in his affidavit, about three inches, and
when he arose from the ruins of the chair,
over which he had been propelled by the
unnecessarily violent opening of the door
to which the knob appertained, he saw
standing in the doorway, gazing f1edly but
not kindly at him., a tall female person, of
angular features. wearing her own red hair
and a wart on her chin, while she stood
with her hands on her hips, and compressed
her lips with a cold, unsympathetic smile.

Eating Fruit A ftsr Dinner.

The English have always ridiculed the
American plan of eating fruit at breakfast,
and generally reserve theirs for the late
supper, which is the fashion still in the old
country. But the grip cure craze has caused
all fashion to be forgotten, and now it is
quite common to see oranges on an English
breakfast table. Apart from the grip tea-
ture, which is probably largely imaginary,
the change is certainly goodone, for, while
any one can derive benefit from eating fruit
the first thing in the morning, it takes a
strong digestive system to be able to eat
fruit at night without suffering inconveni-
enco.
