The Indians of the far northwest, like
most others of their race, are super
stitious and much afraid of dreams;
but their contact with a very pro-
gressive community of white people has
familiarized them with some of the me-
chanical appliances of an advanced CIV
ilization, even while they remain under
the influence of their old superstitious
notions
The Spokane Spokesman-Review tells
the story of an incident in the court
house there which aptly illustrates this
fact. A Nez Perez Indian, We-la-Kowit
by name, was summoned as a witness
at recent session of the United States
court at Spokane. We-la-Kowit had to

Bismarck's Pets.

The latest photographs OF Prince
Bismarck represents the imam Of
blood and iron" enveloped in a
kind Of waterproof ulster, with a
soft hat browning his sparse and
grizzled locks and two huge
Danish boarhounds guarding him
on either side. These unpatriotic
animals possess a somewhat in
teresting pedigree. One is the son
of Hamlet, a favorite dog of the
late Alexander III, his dame
being Diana, the property, during
her life, of the Prince of Wales.
Hamlets father was Polian, the
companion of Princess Dagmar
when she went to st. Petersburg
as the affianced bride of the EN-
peror, and Polian in turn claimed
as parent Claudio, bought by King
Christian IX from a peasant one
day when he was on a shooting ex-
cursion. The other hound is called
Wilhelm w, for he is fourth in
descent from the huge creature
which was given to Bismarck in
his younger days by FELLOWSHIP
dents at the University of Coffin
gen. A Wilhelm has always
reigned at Varzin and Friedrichs-
ruhe, and in each successive gen.
Grafton has been his masters spe-
cial pet,

BUY YOUR PIANOS AT HOME.

Why buy pianos from strangers
and commission agents whom you
do not know, and whose guarantee
is not worth the paper upon which
it isIIwritten?. Why give notes
when you purchase a piano, bear
ing "interest" and a lien besides?
When you buy from strangers or
com mission houses, the notes you
give are sent to the dealers and
wheu not discounted to banks or
money lenders by them, are trans
ferred to the manufacturers, who
use them for collateral. Hence
you do not know who holds these
notes and can get no extension
when they fall due.
We do not ask for notes bearing
interest. We are to be found at
home when you want an extension ;
besides we are here and keep your
piano in tune free of charge,
whilst you are paying for it.
Furthermore we will sell you a
better piano for less money and
upon easier terms, than you can
get from strangers, "who are here
today and away tomorrow"
1t will pay everybody contem-
plating the purchase of piano to
call on US and get terms and prices
before placing their order. We
carry the largest stock and variety
of pianos in the south.
We have few bargains in Sec
ond hand uprights that we will
sell the coming week very low and
on easy payments.

FRIDAY, APRIL II, 1896

That A. P. A. boomerang that
was to return and smite Mckinley
hip and thigh because he was so
fearfully and wonderfully inclined
to favor the Catholics, turns out to
be a very harmless straight stick.
Mckinley is not in the boat that
the A. p. A. had embarked him in
and the little truth that there was
in the reports put forth have been
so buried in mountain of false.
hood that its own author could not
recognize it. The Mckinley boom
sweeps on and the intelligence Of
the A. p. A. have come to the con-
clusion that the Ohio man is not
that kind of statesman. Wisdom
comes at last.

There is not a doubt that it is
an even thing between the free
silverites in the democratic party
and the opposition to the l6 to l
heresy. There will be little to
chose practically between them as
to numbers when the roll call on
the floor Of the convention is made.
II that convention finishes Its
work and adjourns without such q
division in spirit, II not in form, as
will terribly weaken 1t in the ap.
preaching campaign, then there is
little dependence to be put upon
political signs.

expected to lead off with the left

THE WOMAN DELEGATE.

Ihh WUmAN Dhhhuhlh'
The Methodist church in this
country is coming to the front and
giving to the women Of the church
the place that is rightfully hers.
From the hour that the Nazarene
was prepared for his tomb by the
loving hands Of women, she has
ever been first in all Christian
work and worship. Take church
procession anywhere and you can
count the men as they pass along,
but the women are there a perfect
throng. They are entitled to rule
in the church, be represented in
her councils, hold offices, control
her economy and in every way be
her front. 1t is a marvel that
the woman, she without whose
presence and service and devotion.
there would be no church, has 80
long been shut out of a voice in
her councils and a determining
power Of control in her government.
The Methodist church has been
wrestling with this question Of
women representation, In her an
nual and general conferences, for
10 these many years, and as yet
such representation has been de-
MED her. The general conference
which convenes in May will have
another contest over this vexed
question. According to the rules
OF that body it will require three
fourths vote to change the repre-
sentation, but nearly, il not quite
enough votes are already secured
to assure the carrying Of that meas
ure. There will be bitter opposi-
ton on the part OF the minority,
who would about as soon reign in
hell as serve in heaven If a woman
was at the head OF affairs, but 1t is
inevitable destiny, and even the
Methodists who do not believe in
predestination must yield to that.
The handwriting is upon the wall,
not only OF the Methodist, but Of
all the other churches which have
not as yet submitted. 1t is also
on the wall of the school house,
and the political convention,
and the polling booth. The
hand that rocks the cradle is
or should be competent for all
things, for it is easier to shape the
destinles Of a people than to mould
soul. By and by the people will
understand these things and the
clouds will lift from the face Of
woman and her disabilities disap-
pear, in so far as law enactments
can remove them. The efforts Of
that glorious minority in the Meth
odist church that half a century
ago began the battle for woman,
are being crowned with success.
Verify 1 say unto them, they have
their reward.

SECRETARY CARLISLE'S LETTER.

SECRETARY CARLISLE'S LETTER
Boston Herald.)
Mr.. Carlisle's letter to Chairman Long
is regarded by Senator Lindsay and other
Kentuckians at Washington as an an
nouncement that he would like the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency. We do not doubt that this is the
true Interpretation. but the letter is so
obviously worded that it is capable of
bearing the opposite construction. To
get at Its meaning one must read the
document between the lines So read,
and especially when you study lit by the
light of Mr.. Carlisle's we'll known am
bition. the correct construction is plain.
Ever since he became secretary of the
treasury the Presidential bee has been
buzzing more or less distinctly around
his bonnet. And why not? Mr.. Carlisle
is distinctly politician of Presidential
rank. AS we see the outlook, he has very
little chance of getting the Democratic
nomination at Chicago, and no chance
whatever of being elected, but we frankly
concede that the aspirations which he
cherishes cannot be regarded as presump-
tuous from a personal point of view.
The Portland daily press., 1896-04-08

The construction generally placed upon
Secretary Carlisle's letter at Washington
is that he would like the Democratic
Presidential nomination, though he
would lot make a fight for it. 1t is
said by the Secretary's friends that
the President read the letter before it
was published and gave it his approval.
Ii this be SO 1t would be interesting to
know what construction the President
put upon it-whether he considered it
a declination or an indirect bid for the
nomination. If he took the first view
then what he approved was the Score
SaFy's getting out of the contest; if the
latter then he will probably support his
candidacy.

The nows from Constantinople that
the Sultan has deoreed the expulsion of
the missionaries from his dominions is
exceedingly important if true; and as
EWo London papers have received it indie
pendently it looks as if it might be true,
There are other reasons for believing it
50 be authentic also. The Sultan has
protested to believe all along that the
missionaries in Asiastic Turkey have
been spreading exaggerated reports of the
massacres of the Armeylans for the pur-
pose of inducing oth5. nations to inter-
fero and take the government of that
territory out of his hands, and now that
England has her hands full in Africa he
may feel that it is safe to expel them.
