the indian Territory. The large White
element is said to be without protection
and without schools or other rights of
citizens: leading Indians have absorbed
great tracts OF lands and created an
aristocrauy, and the friends of the In
dams believe that the best interests OF
the five civilized tribes would be found
in American citizenship Reference is
made to the failure so far, of the Dawes
commission to secure the consent Of the
tribes to an extinguishment Of the tribal
titles and a division of the lands 1t is
said that should the tribes still fail TO
ratify the agreement. then some legisla-
ton should be had by congress.
The president approves the recommen-
dation of the secretary of the treasury
for an extension of the quarantine laws.
and also suggests the appointment OF a
special commission 10 ascertain the cause
Sale OF :he Knn.as Pacific.
Speaking Of the pending sale of the
Kansas Pacific railroad, /. is said that IL
no better bid is received than the upset
price fixed by the court, the government
would receive only 81, 800 600 on its claim
government has, the authority to bid
on the road and has directed the Sec
rotary of the treasury to make the

at least equal TO the principal of the debt
to the government. He suggests, how
ever that in matter SO important as
the government becoming possible own
er of the railroad, congress should enact
some legislation TO define its views Ii
is clear to him. however, that the govern
ment should not permit the property TO
be sold at a price less than one-half the
principal of its debt. and less than one
fifth of its entire debt, principal and inter-
est.
The president devotes the last chapter
of his message to the civil service the
practical Improvement of which he says
has long been subject of earnest dis
cussion and which has of late years re-
ceived increased legislative and executive
approval. During the past few months
the service has been placed upon a still
tirmer be- sis of business methods and per-
sonal merit. While the right of deserving
veteran soldiers to reinstatement has
been asserted, dismissals for merely po.
litical reasons have been carefully guard.
and made practical and a distinct adj
vance has been made by giving hearing
before dismissal upon all cases where
incon etency is charged or demand made
for the removal of officials. This last
has been done without impairing the
guards of the system. Much remains to
be done before the system can be per-
fected, and the president says that he
shall not hesitate TO exempt cases which
he thinks have been improperly included
in the classified service or include those
which i'm his judgment will best promote
the public service. The system has the
approval of the people and Ii viii be his
endeaN or to uphold and eXter it.
In conclusion the president admonisheS
congress not TO encourage the increase
of the estimates for the maintenance of
the government. They would admit of
decrease in many branches and it Is
commanding duty TO keep the appropria-
tons within the receipts of the govern
ment and thus avoid deficit.

How badness begins.
How TO prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like a plant in the
soil. If a plant fourishes, it must have
constant attention; it must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil

Shipping Tin plate Abroad.

Six years ago last fall the stump
speakers OF the Democratic party all
over the United States were denounc-
ing the protective tariff imposed on
tin plate, and were loudly proclaiming
that there never would be tin plate
factory established in the United
States. Today the tin plate factories
IN the United States are capable of
supplying the entire demand of this
country, and all the tin plate now i'm
ported is that which is to be used in
making cans which is to be used in
making cans which are to be exported
and thus have the duty rebated.
Were it not for the rebate paid on
canned goods exported. not pound of
foreign tin plate would be used in this
country today.
Not only this, but carload of Ind
lana tin plate has been shipped to It.
ally, and an English order is being fill
ed by the same factory. This latter un-
expected result is due to the fact that
iron is now cheaper. in this country
than in England.
Had 1t not been for the protection
extended by the tariff act of 1890 it is
doubtful whether the tin plate indust-
ry would ever have been established in
this country. Certainly it never
would have reached it's present pro-
portions had it not been for that act.
This industry is a standing proof of
the good results which have followed
the protective tariff.-P. T.

writer and satirist, Heine, in Paris.
"Ah, dear poet" said the doctor, syou

OF the thousand-franc note that that
dear uncle slipped into my hand. 1t is
because of remark he made to me. the

me he said: We'll, my dear nephew,

Paris? Pardon, dear uncle said I: 4

laughter.
Among the prisoners arraigned in
Jefferson Market police court the other
day, says the New York Recorder, was
laborer, charged with intoxication.
AS he was led from the nolsome pen a
pale, careworn woman, leading pref
ty child of four years, made her way to
the bar and began to plead in his be-
half. He had taken his bit too much,
to be sure, and it wasn't the first time,
alas! but he was a good man when him
self. Couldn't the judge be easy on
him? Upon the stolid, well-fed magis-
trate this plea had some effect, but not
much.
"Ten days!" was the laconic SEN
tence, after brief interview with the
policeman who had made the arrest.
The unhappy wife turned away with
sob, but the little girl held back,
and, grasping her fathers hand in
CURED: aren't you going home with
US, papa?"
The prisoners eyes filed with tears,
and he tried to whisper something to
the little one, but a big policeman
grasped him roughly by the arm and
hustled him away.
Don't do that! Don't take nv IA
Their away! I want to kiss papa!" cried
the child, struggling to follow the
hard-hearted bluecoat and his captive.
She had her way, too, for that police
man would have made himself the most
unpopular person in New York if he
had not pleased to allow the unhappy
little family to exchange affectionate
farewells. And the child was led from
the ugly place wondering what it all
meant.

Rights Of H0mesteaders.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Assistant
Attorney General Vandeventer of the
interior department, has prepared, and
Acting Secretary Ryan today APPROX
ed Of decision which will be of in
terest to public land states. Section 6
Of the act OF March, 1880 authorized
those who had partially exercised their
homestead privilege, to make an addi-
tional entry OF public land, 50 as to
make a full quota Of 100 acres. Here
tofore, this section has been construed
as applying only to those who had
partially exercised their homestead
privileges before the passagesof the act.
The decision says that.it was the evil
dent intention Of congress to provid a
means by which every homesteader
might acquire title to 100 acres OF
land, Notwithstanding prior partial
exercise of the homestead right.

ONE year ago the song of the free
silverite was falling prices; everything
was too cheap. The tune remains but
the words of the melody have chang
ed; now the Dingley bill has made the
necessaries of life too high. There is
a whole lot Of honesty behind the
burdens but the trouble is it takes the
A-rays to find it. II the tariff will
raise the price Of goods produced in
this country it will accomplish the
object OF the silverites except SO far as
getting Office is concerned-that must
be brought by some kind of new leger-
demain not now familiar to the slight

slowly dying and the resurrection will
not take place until the next epoch Of
depression oyertakes the country, then
you will see the familiar form of
