Cruelty to the BruIe Indians.

WAsHINGroS Cry. Dec. 6-Senator
Pettigrew made a strong plea before the
senate committee on Indian affairs today
for an investigation of the action of the
interior department in its removal of the
lower Brule Indians Of South Dakota
from the reservation. He argued that the
department had arrested and taken 100 OF
the Indians from their homes to the
agency last winter, confning them in
tents on the open prairie. as q result OF
which two of the hundred died II is now
proposed 20 subject the entire tribe mem
bership to this same treatment. and the
senator thinks the department should be
stopped from this proceeding. The COM
mitiee has not vet taken action upon the
senator's request.

The Trial of sunko Kelly.

PORTLAND. Dec. 6-In the Sayres mur-
der case today point was scored by the
defense, when Judge stephens decided
that confession made by Bunko Kelly to
Chief of Police Mimic should not be ad-
mitted in evidence. Judge stephens also
decided that Prosecuting Attorney Hume
could take the witness stand and not lose
any OF his rights as an attorney in the case.
Hume related the circumstances under
which keiiy's confession was made. lie
told Kelly that If he told the truth he
tHume) would use the influence of his
office to save him from hanging. but that
he would be sent TO the penitentiary for
life. AT one point in his testimony Hume
declared that he was fully satisfied that
Kelly was guilty of Sayres' murder. This
statement was objected TO by the defense,
but the matter was finally dropped. Chief
OF Police Mimic was recalled. lie identi-
fed pipe, pair of spectacies and several
other articles found on the spot where
Sayres was thought to have been killed.

that the Republicans generally viii vote
against the appropriations. the Democrats
express themselves as entirely satisfied

Democratic caucus directed the steering
committee 20 prepare an order OF business
which viii present for the consideration
OF the senate the following subjects of leg
isiation: A bankruptcy bill; bin for the
construction of the Nicaragua canai; .
currency bill; bills for the admission OF
Arizona and New Mexico; bill involving
the interests of the indian territory; for
the considsration of the joint resolution
of the house of representatives on the elec-

the appropriation bills. as the steering
committee may deem important In their
report to the caucus the steering commit
tee shall provide the order In which the
above subjects Of legislation shall be con-
sidered.
The caucus was in session from O'Clock
until 4;30 O'Clock today and almost the
entire time was devoted TO the discussion
OF the first proposition of Senator Daniel,
inslructing the committee on rules to
bring in an amendment for cioIure. and
the speeches we're a. times very spirited.
Senators Vest, Villas, Berry and George
made speeches favoring the proposition,
while Senators German. Morgan, Palmer,
Harris, Pugh and others opposed it with
Eigor and warmth. The opponents of
change evidently had the best of the
argument from the beginning. It is un-
derstood that they even invoked the ghost
of the force bill. and urged that If Repnb-
iicans should get in power they would re-
vive this measure The protest against
the proposed change WAS so general that
when a vote was taken no one considered
IL necessary to ask for the ayes and nays
When the cIoture provision was defeated
the friends of the tariff bill gave up the
tight. considering it unnecessary TO make
any attempt TO revive its consideration, in
view of the opposition of a majority of
the Republicans. and because OF the fact
that any determined opposition under the
rules would insure their defeat. Hence II
is that those bills do not appear in the
official list OF bills 10 be ted for the
consideration of the senate.
The order for the preparation of q cur
rency bill by the finance committee car
ries with it instructions to take the
recommendations of the president and
secretary of the treasury into .considers-
ton. Ii is also understood that a feasible
position on the utilization of silver is to
be included in any currency scheme pre-
sented TO or by the committee.

The Vanity Of Public Men.

"Vanity of vanities, saith the
preacher; all ID vanity" The prophet
OF the Bible could not look down
from the press galleries Of Congress
without repeating this sentence.
half of the public men OF to-day are
packed full Of self-conceit. A BAKERS
dozen OF the Senators do little more
than pose for the galleries. Senator
Voorhees, keeps his eyes upon them
while he il making his speech. Sem
ator German, looking as though he
had come out OF a bahd-box, percept-
IDLY poses u grea1 part Of each session
and Senator Matt Ransom Of North
Carolina would go into fit if his
cuffs did not go at least an inch DO
low his sleeves. When Senator In
gals was in Congress he spent much
time in arranging the red haudker-
chief which invariably peeped out Of
Ills left coat pocket, and old Senator
Morrill,, though he has written book
on the vanity of statesmen, is proud
OF his position as the oldest man in
the Senate. Wolcott has the dis
1inction Of wearing more new clothes
than any man in the chamber, and it
used to make Vice President Morton
angry to have it insinuated that his
wig was not made Of natural hair.
Our public men of to-day are very
particular as TO what the newspapers
Say about them. The most OF them
keep scrap books in which they paste
all clippings concerning themselves,
aud the volumes Of the kind which
belong to President Cleveland would
make library A curious evidence
ofgreat men is found in their photo
graphs. The most extensively pho
tographed man Of to-day is the Em-
peror Of Germany. He has his pic
lures taken every week, and you
could paper IL room with his like
nesHes which tie cumera has taken
from his boyhood up to the present
time. Next to him, perhaps, comes
Bismarck, and after Bismarck, Glad
stone. As to American statesmen,
nearly every member of Congress has
his photograph on sale at ono or
another of the galleries here. He
reaps no profits through the sales,
but they are usually sold with his
consent. Congressman buy great
many photographs. Washington

Reindeer In Sweden.

The number of reindeer owned by a
Laplander in Sweden varies to a con-
siderable degree. The poor may have
from SO to 200 reindeer, those better
Off from 800 to 700, and the rich lap
landers will keep 1000 and even 5000
reindeer. There is some difficulty in
collecting statistics of the number of
reindeer, as the Laplanders will some
times be unwilling or unable to give
any correct statement. According to
the latest statistics the number of rein
deer in Sweden would amount to $780,

incc of Jcmland, 4O,5O0 in the province

An Old Lady Who Believes In Being Al
49,. s. -.-.. ways Cheerful. s........
A dear old lady of eighty-three is she
who is described by Kate Sanborn, in
"a Truthful Woman in Southern Cali
fornia," as "Grandma Wade" She
says:
L have known several interesting oc-
toGenarians, but never one" that sur
passed her in loneliness, wit and posi-
tive jollity. She still has her ardent
admirers among men as we'll as wom-
en-, and now and then receives an
earnest proposal from some lonely old
fellow. The last of these aged lovers,
when refused and relegated to the po-
sition of Il brother, urged her to recon-
slider the matter and make it q subject
of prayer. But she quietly said:
I'm not going to bother the Lord
with questions 1 can answer myself"
One day when she was cholxed by q
bread crumb at the table, she said to
the frightened waiter, as soon as she
could regain her breath:
Never mind if that did go down the
wrong way. a great many good things
have gone down the right way this
winter"
She is invariably cheerful, and when
she was parting with her son for the
winter, she said:
''Wcll, J ohm, want to know before
you go inst what you have left me in
your will"
This little joke turned tear into a
smile!
Even when i'll, she is so bright and
hopeful that n friend once exclaimcd:
Grandma, I do believe you would
laugh if you were dying!"
"Well," said she, 80 many folks go
to the Lord with a long face, guess
He will be glad to see me come to Him
smiling!"
