a terrible rage and pursued the little

their eyes i'll horror, expecting to be
dragged from their places and trampled
to death. At that moment the great
beast caught sight of the pony. 1t stop.

stroycd Her badge Of scr,itude.
Among the many unique ~curiosities
In NJ. Jules P%atenotro's collection ut tho
French legation Mt Washington is m
imprint Of the great Chinese imperial
seal. Tho loss Of tho original dio which
tho imprint represents was one OF the
greatest disappointments in tho career
# this clever diplomat. He wanted Il
for his collection, but the orientals were
n little too many for him that time, and
this is how il happened:
The French had been carrying on the
wal in Tonquin during the early part Of
1884 and finally succeeded in forcing
China to surrender her claim Of suzc.
rainty over the empire Of Anam in fa.
o of u French p~rotectoratc. All tho
state documents Of the Anamite mp to
this period had not only borne tho ma.
tional seal, but likewise tho imperial
seal Of China, as q mark Of ~vassalage
When, OF June Q, 1884, however, Pate.
notre obtained tho signature to the
treaty giving Anam over to tho protec.
ton Of France, the great Chinese seal
was brought before the convention Of
Anamitc statesmen and French officers
and diplomats. M. Patenotro In his 70.
port to the homo Office described the
scene as follows:
I'VE took out seats about n large tn.
bic in tho parlor Of the French resi-
dence. There were naval officers from
Admiral Courbet's feet and several Off
GERS from tho French garrison ut Hue.
Tho great seal was laid upon tho table.
It was 8 inches square and made Of sol.
id silver, weighing about ID pounds
Tho handle represented q camel kneel'
ing.
1.-THE Anamite prime minister made
a number Of impressions from tho seal,
and while this was done servants were
preparing u small charcoal furnace al

were preparing to destroy tho seal.
leaned owe to tho prime minister and
told him that it was not yet too late Il
ave this interesting relic, and I begged
him not to consign II to tho crucible
He hesitated q moment and then held
q brief consultation with Nguyen-Van
Tuong, the regent. Tho latter shook hi
head and said that the last token Of An
ans servitude must DO destroyed.
Five minutes later tho great seal wa.

soldiers of their pensions without a
hearing; policy intended to cast odium
upon loyalty and patriotism
We believe it to be the duty of the
state as well as the nation to make suita-
/ bic provision for the care and mainten-
ance of all INDECENT soldiers, their wives
and widows.
We therefore favor the establishment
| by the state of suitable soldiers home
/ for the reception of such soldiers, their
wives and widows as may be overtaken
| by adversity.
We demand rigid enforcement of all
| immigration laws by the national gov
ernment, and demand such further legls-
lation as will protect our people and in
stitutions against the influx of the Grim
inal and vicious classes.
We denounce the unpatriOtic action OF
the Cleveland admin istratiOn in hauling 6
down the American flag at Hawaii and
condemn the arrogant assumption OF
power displayed in the effort to restore a
tyrannlcal queen over a free people who
had thrown off the yoke of despotism.
Distribution of "Pie'' Condemned.
We condemn the outrageous bargain
1 and sale of federal patronage by the
Cleveland administration in its unblush-
ing efforts to usurp the prerogatives of
the legislative branch of the government
to enforce a favorate measure through
congress and compel the confirmation of
presidential appointments by the senate.
We condemn the reckless and eXtrav-
agant administration of the financial at
fairs of this state whereby the people
are subj bjected to uni just and unnecessary
burdens of taxation, by an increased as
sessment of property and increased rate
of taxation and by a multiplication OF
Offices to be supported by the taxpayers
of the state. We believe that the benev-
olent, educational and correctional in
stitutiOns of the state should be placed
under non-partisan control.
We believe in such legislation, state
and national, as will protect the lives and
limbs of employees of railways, mines
and factories.
We condemn the policies steadily pur-
sued by the Democratic legislature of
Indiana in SO gerrymandering the state
as to deny the people fair representa-
and national congress, thus imperilling
the foundation of our institutions
