1t seems that the steelaBd-rubber steed
is destined to work that revolution in the
Russian world that the ''ircn horse or

never really accepred the locomotive as an

the sword swinging n'artiaiiy under tfe
floating folds of the iDseparable mouse

One might have gone through the en-
pire by rail and save by seeing private
soldier, might never have known that the

Thomas G.. ShearmaD, who was Henry

discoveries in hypDotism fully clear up
the greatest mysteries Of that cause celebre.
No one could account at the time for
Mrs. Ti!ton's contradictory statements.
She first asserted Becchcr's innocence and
her own. Then, after the trial was over,
She signed a confession of guilt. a little
later she declared that the confession was
false.
Sherman says that she was a hypnotic

husband, and that she acted just as Prof.

Last Saturday afternoon while Mr..

got possession ola breech-loading shot
gun loaded heavily with mixed shot,
fine and coarse, aud not knowing that
it was loaded, pointed it at his brother
Marion, aged thirteen. who was sitting
on the floor reading. The contents en-,
tered the right side OF the neck, taking a
diagonal course. tearing alearful hole
through the body, ranging downward,
through the lungs and some Of the shot
pierced completely through the body.
Death was Of course, inst infamous.
The terrified boy who was the cause of
the terrible tragedy, ran to the residence
of John Schooner, where his mother had
gone on an errant, and she FASTENED
home to find her dead boy lying on the
floor in pool OF blood. Mr.. Edwards,
their step-father, was in the city at the
time. The boys are the sons OF Mrs. Ell

married her present husband. A brother

with less number in both houses,
while Nebraska has fewer senators and
the 100 in the lower house. Obviously
1t would be better for any legislative
body to have an odd number of mem
bers in order to avoid deadlocks such
as are regularly experienced by some
legislatures. However, it is noticeable
that this year there are deadlocks in
the legislatures, the landslide being so
universal that there is no chance for
close votes.

The Future of Gold Production.

There are no indications whatever of
a falling off in the future of the pro.
ductiyeness of the gold mines of this
country, although, considering the rap
growth of the South African pro-
duction of gold, it is difficult to predict
how long the United States will main
tain it's supremacy as gold producer.
New mines will, of course, be dis
covered here, but the discovery of such
mines is still more likely in Africa.
Much will depend on their relative rich
ness. So far as can now be seen, the
greatest hope of largely increased
gold product of the United States in
the future lies in the removal of all
restrictions on hydraulic mining in
California. That has already been
done to some extent by the so-called
Caminetti Act, passed March 3, 1888
If means could be found to remove all
restrictions on that class of mining
and that may be possible achieve
ment-it has been estimated that the
deposits in that state would add some
thing like $50000O,OOO to the gold stock
of the world. From "The Future of
Gold" by the director of the mint, Hon.
Robert E. Preston, in North American

STATE LEGISLATURES.

This is the month when good many
of the state legislatures begin their
work, and it is interesting to make
some comparisons between these vari-
Gus bodies in the states Of the union.
1t is somewhat remarkable that one Of
the western states has the largest up
per chamber, for the tendency in the
west is to make smaller bodies. Min.
nesota has fifty-four senators, while
Delaware gets along with only nine.
Delaware also has the smallest number
of representatives, while New Hamp-
shire manages to avoid destruction
while enduring 1858. The lower houses
of several New England states are very
large as compared with their upper
houses. The following list shows the
number of members of each branch of
the various legislatures:

THE WORLDS nARKHTs.

During the campaign which resulted
in the election of President Cleveland,
one of the great rallying cries of demo
cracy was the great value and benefit
of open markets, the markets Of the
world.
When the democratic party came in
to control of the government, all
European markets were open to Ameri.
can cattle. The Cuban markets prae,
tically belonged to American mer.
chants; and many countries OF South
America offered markets giving exclu.
sive advantage to the farmer and
producer in the United States.
Under the democratic tariff laws one
after another of these markets are be.
ing closed. Already four great nations
Austria being the latest addition to the
list, have closed their markets against
American produce. In Germany,
France, Austria, and Belgium Ameri.
can cattle are barred and retaliatory
measures are threatened.
The chief cause of trouble lies in the
sugar schedule, which imposes duty
of one per cent on sugar coming to the
United States from countries which
pay an export bounty on sugar.
Cuba is closed to American flour and
bread stuffs and the Latin American
reciprocity treaties no longer exist.
We had these markets and the dem
ocrats promised that the markets
would be extended. But instead of
extending markets they have
closed what we had by their tar.

THREE MORE AUDUBON VICTIMS.

Three more Audubon county, Iowa,
veterans received notice last week from
Hoke Smith to appear before the board
of pension examiners for re-examina-
ton, accompanied by the regular abso-
lutely false statement that "from
medical evidence on file in this bureau
it appears that the disability for which
you were pensioned no longer exists to
a pensionable degree" The three CON-
rades who were thus last week insulted
by the rebel colOnePs son in charge of
the pension bureau are: John Il. Jenk-
ms, who served four years under Judge
J. r. Reed in the I'd Iowa Artillery,
and w. s. Ordway, Co. d., SD Massa-
chusetts Infantry, both of Brayton;
and Charles Johnson, Co. c., 18th
Illinois Infantry, who lives eight miles
east of Audubon. This makes eleven
disabled comrades who have been mott
fed to appear for examination in that
county during the past ten weeks, and
it is probable that the veterans have
been and are being insulted and humi-
lated in that proportion all over the
state and Nation. Yet all Of Growers
spies and all of Growers henchmen
were only able to find thirty-nine sold,
iers and soldiers widows, during,
the whole of 1894, who were guilty
of fraud upon the government, after
an expenditure of over 100000 in the
examination of nearly 5000 cases and
the prosecution of 300 persons! Yet
the same damnable policy is being pur.
sued this year in order that the con-
script, copperhead and rebel govern
ment may wreak its vengeance upon
the disabled Union veterans! The
Register again advises all the disabled
comrades who receive notices to appear
for denomination to obey the order
and thus keep all the evidence alive

THE ALLEGED PENSION FRAUDS.

IN his annual message to Congress
in 1893, President Cleveland declared
that thousands of neighborhoodsh have
their well-know fraudulent pensioners,
and recent Developments establish
appalling conspiracies to accomplish
pension Frauds" This grave charge
was attended by the dropping of several
thousands of names faom the pension
rolls, without giving the accused part
les any opportunity of defense. Then
corps of over fifty special examiners
was appointed, at an expense of $780,
600 year, to make thorough lnves-
tigation of all cases of alleged or
suspected fraud, and this work was per-
formed during the past year, and the
result is presented in the report of the
Pension Commissioner. Nearly 5000
cases were examined, and 800 persons
were recommended for prosecution, of
whom 1914 were convicted. The per
sons convicted included twenty no.
taries, thirty-two attorneys and thirty
seven witnesses, and eighteen imper-
senators of claimants aud eleven i'm
posters were discovered. But of
soldiers ond soldiers widows only
thirty-nine were found to be guilty of
fraud upon the Government. That is
to say, in list of 10000 pensioners
only one in about $4,000 turned out to
be dishonest; and this is all the basis
there was for Mr.. Cleveland's assertion
that thousands of neighborhoods haye
their well-known fraudulent pension
ers."
These statistics deserve careful atten-
ton, and should have the effect of put
ting stop to reckless Democratic talk
about the abuses of the pension system.
The pension frauds are mostly perpe.
trated by claim agents and persons
who were never in the army. 1t is not
by the men who fought for the country
that the Government is robbed in this
relation. The instances are very scarce
in which soldier gets pension with
out deserving it. This is testimony of
experts appointed by Democratic
Administration to make a rigid investi.
CATION of the matter. The cases Of
fraud discovered are so few, compare.
lively syeaking, that they do not have
any serious significance. Instead of
thousands of such cases, as claimed by
the President, his agents have not
been able to find quite forty in all.
This is really splendid vindication of
the integrity of the pensioners as a
class. 1t shows that the pension roll
is not in need of that "purging" about
which the Democrats have 80 much to
say. The money voted for the relief
of disabled and dependent Union
soldiers is honestly applied, and the
country has every reason to be satisfied
on that point. Nobody favors the
granting of pensions on illegal or in.
sufficient grounds; and there is really
no foundation for the charge that pen
sions are or have been thus granted
