His mind was dwelling more, perhaps,
upon the practical effects of that meas

conditions. He remembered that by the
present policy the so-called 7O-cent dol
lars have been multiplied enormously.
The government is purchasing double
the amount of silver used for coinage
under the preceding condition. In fact,
some insist that absolute free coinage
would not materially enhance the vol

Yet, from the space he accords the sub

that no radical change in the policy pur-

A COG IN THE MACHINE.

Interior motives are concealed in the
postoffice building bill which lately
passed the senate by the narrow ma
jority of three. There are two cogent
reasons why the bill will fail to pass in
the house. The first and weightiestone
is that its principal feature is highly re-
pugnant to the supposed liberty of the
elective franchise.
The bill provides for the erection, at
governments expense, OF postoffice
buildings in towns whose postal reve-
nues exceed $4,000, but do not exceed
$4,000 per annum. At haSty glance
it would appear that this measure would
be beneficial to the country at large. and
especially to the West and Northwest.
Careful investigation, however. reveals
a good sized Senagambian concealed in
the woodpile from which BENJAMIN
HARRISON is industriously and silently
saving presidential timber. 10 de-
termine the flair distribution among
the several states and territories" OF
these presidential p0stoffice buildings,
the postmaster general aud secretaries
of the treasury and interior compose a
board for their location. The text OF
the bill reads:
Whenever, in the opinion of the postmas-
ter general. the secretary of the treasury and
the secretary of the interior, it shall be neces-
saIy or expedient to provide, at any place
where building is to be erected under the
provisions of this act, for the accommoda-
tion of government officials other than those
nd t,.itt
the building is to be erected with view to
furnishing such accommodation.
For campaign purposes no better
scheme could be devised for whipping
into line weakened or recalcitrant
HARRISON men.
1t virtually holds out an offer of local
aid in exchange for active political work
at Minneapolis and the polls. 1t would
prove one more efficient cog i'll the po-
litical machine of President HARRISON.
1t is a species of federal legislation alb
horrent to popular sense of justice.

four Democratic votes were given for
the good shown upon the face of the bill,
without due consideration of the great
evil underlying the surface. That the
bill will ever emerge from HoLMAN's
committee is doubtful. The second
reason why it must fail in the house,
and why it should fail, is that the
United States treasury is in condition
closely resembling the proverbial cup

TIE WESTERN LEAGUE.
An Important Meeting to Occur
Today in Chicago.


CHICAGO, March 16.-James A. Will
Jams, president and secretary of the
Western base ball league; Gus II.
Schmelz, manager of the Columbus club;
l.. G. Krauthoff, of Kansas City, cOun-
sci of the league, and Robert
W. Mcguire, of Milwaukee, held an
important base ball meeting today.
Williams had in his grip the signed con-
tracts OF 106 men who were willing
and anxious to play in the Western
league. The list included 16 catch
erS, % pitchers, Q first basemen, IL sec
Ond basemen. IL third baSemen, short
stops and twenty-Seven fielders. A few
of the third basemen can play short,
and will be assigned to that position.
The list was studied by Mcclure, Kraut-
hotf and SchmelZ, the players commit
tee. Finally ninety-slx names were
selected, and then came the work of
apportioning eight evenly balanced
teams. 1t took several hours to
do this to the committees satisfaction,
and each team will start in with three
pitchers and brace of eatchers. Ghe
league as body will act tomorrow.
The teams as apportiOned will be sub
mitted to the managers. Each
manager is expected to do all that
VIII IN his judgement start
the teams on an even footing.
Therefore it is likely that some changes
III the makeup will occur. Lists of the
various teams as finally arranged will
be dumped into hat and number
will be drawn simultaneously. 1t was
decided to play 40 games and divide
the season. The opening games will
be played OH April 10, and the
first series will close June so.
The second season will open July and
close Sept. 20. The series will not be
equally divided. Sixty-six games are
scheduled in the first division and
seventy-fOur in the second. The UNI
pires will first call play in the southern
tier of cities. St. Paul will open
in Omaha, Minneapolis in Kansas
City, Milwaukee in indianapolis
and Toledo in Columbus. The schedule
as it stands will be adopted. Among
the base ball men in the city are Ralph
Stout, of Omaha; E. Il. Martin, of Kan
Sas City; c. IL. Cushman, manager, and
Zach Bartlett, vice president of the Mil
waukee club; President Evans, Director
F. M. Pickering and Chester Stands, of
Columbus. The league will meet at the
auditorium at 10 o'clock tomorrow, and
will probably remain in session until
Friday.

a collection of articles which evidently
were intended to be used in the
manufacture of explosive machines.
The officers were making an
examination of certain house, and
while searching some rooms they dis
covered quantity of cyanide of pOtas-
sum and number of electric coils and
cartridge cases. These things were
found in the rooms of an anarchist liv-
ing at st. Denis, town in the depart
ment of Seine, five and half
miles north of the center of Paris.
A bomb, fully charged with deadly
explosive, was also discovered in the
house occupied by an anarchist in the

warrants were subsequently issued,
and the police are engaged in making
thorough search of the houses known
to be occupied by anarchists. Thirty
five lodgings have already been closely

A DAKOTA PICTURE.

A few years ago it was common to
find in Eastern papers the most eXtrav-
agant caricatures of the climate and
life in the Dakotas. These were some
times given as the reports of persons
who had braved the perilS OF that land
and marvelously escaped to tell the tale.
However the hobgoblin stories were
concocted, it was understood that they
were used to deter credulouS reacerS
from looking for new homes in the
West. They have not done much serv-
ice since there have been billiards. in
New York city more destructive than
in the West. 1t is surprising to find in
so ponderous and dignified publlca-
ton as the Atlantic Monthly a screed
OH the Dakota climate that rivals
the romances of the early time. The
first and chief article in the Contrib
utor's Club of the March issue affects to
picture the climate of Dakota from the
experience of writer there in resi-
dence of fourteen months. 1t is not so
stated, but some of the language indi-
Gates that the party who finally sur
vived and escaped WAS woman, and
her sojourn was in South Dakota. In
cidentally, it may be noted that Mime
sofa shares largely the Dakota condi-
tions, as it borders both states their en-
tire length, except that it does not ex-
tend quite so far south. The magazine
writer never heard person in Dakota
speak of the climate but to relate some
new horror. The Indians chose that
region for the reason that they be-
lieved no white people would ever
attempt to live there. The cold
was so intense in winter that
while thermometer was at lis degrees
near the stove, eight feet distant it sank
to 20 degrees. If a person winks out
doors the eyelasbes freeze to the cheek,
and for this reason no person makes a
second attempt to perpetrate joke
that involves winking. The intensity
of the wind drives the women insane,
and they crowd tie asylums. The ami
mails, even, are affected. The ROSTERS
are unable to crow or the hens to cackle.
The Indian ponies cannot whinny. Po-
tatoes are taken into the beds to keep
them from freezing. With such uncom-
Portable conditions in winter it might be
supposed that the summers would be
conceded to be endurable, but if pos
sible they are still more eXcrutiating.
The hot air comes in burning blasts. as
if it had just escaped in creVices
from the internal fires, and the
people close doors and windows
to keep it out, and still pant
as If they were about to perish.
The airy imagination, however, does
find two small compensations. There
is no malaria, and not rat in all Da-
kota. Not a rodent has been found
courageous enough to venture there.
Still, in spite of all this, people have
been hocking to Dakota from New En-
gland and all the old states, making
homes and fancying themselves COM
Portable and prosperous. Those who
have lived there dozen or more years
imagine that the climate is really one
of the great attractions. Such screeds
as that of the Atlantic writer amuse,
but do not vex them. When they get
the prairies and home sites dotted with
trees more generally, they have a con-
ceit that even for the adornments of
civilization they will not take second
place to any.
