Bolivian Indians.

The Chiriguano, who comes down
from Bolivia to earn mares and clothes
and go home rich, is an advanced & pc
of Indian. All the year round bands
of these men are coming and going
10 and from the north across some 500
miles of country. They have melodi-
GUS language, are cleanly, and are some
of them Christians. a curious feature
about them is that they all wear but
tons on their chins; their hair. long and
black, is bound in masses round their
heads. They come ia bands of six to
co, under a captain-usually the deputy
of some big chief up above. There are
two or three big Chiriguano chiefs in
the Bolivia Chaco who have supreme
power over as many as 5000 or 1000
men. They hold their own courts of
justice in their own towns. wage wars
with their neighbors or the Bolivian
government, and counterfeit the infiu-
cnce Of the Jesuit mission among them.
On the whole the Chiriguano is a de-
sirable laborcr, is cheerful and good
humored, clean and thrifty. A little
drink, however, arouses the Indian in
stinct here, too, and fearful fights with
knives occur when there is liquor
about.-Chambers journal.

MIR. CLEVELAND NOT a CANDIDATES,

MIR. CLEVELAND NOT a CANDIDATES,
The question of Mr.. Clevelends can
didacy for third term has been much
discussed recently and enough has been
developed to show that the great ma
jority OF the Democrats Of the country
are utterly opposed to three Presidential
terms for any man. Some interested
office holders and indiacreet friends of
President Cleveland have sedulously
fos:ered the idea that 1t might again be
necessary for the Democratic party to
re-nominste him for the Office he now
holds. butif they have any discernment,
they must already have discovered that
the people of the United States are do
termined to enforce by their votes. il
necessary. the precedent long ago es-
tablished by George Washington. the
father Of his country.
The Democratic party, especially, is
pledged to sustain this view Of the mat
ter, and in sny departure from this
honored example, unless under circum-
tances. which certainly do not now ex-
list, it would be false to all professions
heretofore made by It's leaders and to Its
long and worthy record as the party Of
liberty and federation. The step from q
third to fourth Presidential term when
once the record is broken would be easy.
With the bars that keep out ebsolutism
removed, q dictatorship and Cesar
will be not only possible but probable.
The way will then have been opened for
the IMAM on horseback" and the liber-
ties of the people will be gone forever.
Many Democrats were losth to believe
that President Cleveland desired re-
election; but his own silence and the d.
plomasic talk Of some Of his friends
have somewhat disturbed the public
| mind as to his real wishee in this con-
nection.
The Washington Post. however, in
yesterdays issue has On article on the
subject Of the third term, which ought
to relieve all anxiety in this regard and
at the same time set the President
right before the people. In that paper
It's authoritstively announced that Mr..
| Cleveland will not under xny circum
stances be a candidate for q third term,
and it 10 further stated that he will not
accept o denomination, even should one
be rendered him by the next national
Democratic convention. The Post also
announces that It's information Ia abso.
lutely authentic and Is given upon
ample authority to quiet the specula-
ton and curiosity existing everywhere
In the United States as to the Presi-
dents purposes and position. 1t fur
ther says the above statement is simply
| preliminary to the same announcement
which the President will himself make
In proper season.

Cleveland and Observation-Disclosures.

Is is announced from Washington that
Mr.. Cleveland is engaged in setting
up the pins" for fourth nomination.
The Presidents has shown himself too
good politician to be engaged In sny
such business.
Mr.. Cleveland is not as strong with
his party at present as when he was last
nominated, and II 1t had not been for
Republican votes he would not to-day
be the President of the United States.
His own party is hopelesslY split on the
currency question, and the free silver
wing would sooner vote in 1896 for Ben
jamin Harrison than for him.
The faosion of the Republican party
that voted for and elected Mr.. Cleveland
and the last Congress did go to secure q
modification of the tsriff, and having
partially succeeded IN that, they have
nothing rdcre to ask from him. The free
silver Republicans would not be more
inclined to vote for him than those
Democrats who entertain similar flnan-
cisl views.
The gold faction Of the Democratic
party might, as last resort. take up Mr..
Cleveland, but that wing of the party
unaided could not elect President,
while the gold wing Of the Republican
party is not likely to be driven out of it's
own house. and he has nothing to expect
from them.
The political signs Of the times in
both parties show that the demand will
be for new men, and neither Harrison
nor Cleveland will supply the wants OF
their own parties. The battle next year
is almost certain to be fought along new
lines with fresh candidates. It Ia 10 be
the peoples and not the politicians
campaign. Politics Ia now shaped more
as 1t was in 1860 than at any time aince,
and 1t Is the man who is nearest the
people who will be most likely to win.
The financial question is more Of per-
sonal one than was slavery, and both
sides Of that question will be repre-
scented by men alive to that interest
Neither party can afford to have for q
leader anyone outside of the charmed
circle that includes the people. The
next President will be like Abraham
Lincoln, the peoples nominee.-Ex.
