Pickler's Prospects Bright.

The prospects at this time are very
good for the appointment of fex-Repre-
sentative John A. Pickler. of South Da-
khta. to the position of Com missioner Of
Pensions, says late Washington dis
patch. Major Pickler. in addition to
having the earnest support Of Senator
Kyle and manv northwestern members,
has added to his supporters that potent
force with the administration. Senator
Mark Hanna. Pickler lost the South
Dakota senatorship but it was through
his work and influence that rank free
trade and free silver man was not
chosen. senator Kyle's attitude will,
it is stated, be thoroughly independent.
He is under no obligations whatever to
the populist organization Of his state.
which is now domineered by Petiigrew.
He will undoubtedly vote for the tariff
bill and act with republicans on many
other important questions. He is doing
everything possible for Pickler's ap
pointment. One thing in Pickler's
favor is that strong contest has already
developed between ex.Representative
Thomas, of Michigan, Major Warner, Of
Missouri, and I.awler, of Illinois. Each
Of these states is asking for several other
important appointments. and it is said
that Pickler's chances are very good and
that his appointment will be something
OF q compromiso between the other
factions.

Fears of 3 Freshet.

Word has been passed from town to
town along the Missouri river to pre-
pare for the worst freshet in years, as
soon as the snow and ice begins to move
in the northwest, says late Elk Point,
s. d., dispatch. South Dakota has been
practically cut off from the outside word
ever since the first of the year by an
unprecedented fall ofsnow and ice gorges
in many places along the river promise
trouble when the first thaw comes. The
catastrophe of 1881. when Vermillion. $.
d., was swept away, is recalled and the
present cold weather and anticipated
late spring only add to the apprehension.
People in the lowlands are already
moving TO higher ground and citizens
here are taking care ofthem. The same
is trne of farmers near Chamberlain,
Wheeler and Fort Randall. A continual
watch will be maintained from this time
on. Patrolmen will be kept constantly
on duty to watch the ice foes and ne

The last day o; Grover Cleveland
Had the American people no other
cause for universal joy this alone would
suffice. He went into power with mnch
opposition. He goes out with none
The nation shares the relief with which
he professes to anticipate liberation
from the cares and burdens Of state.
II no has a hearty, cordial, sincere
friend, advocate, and champion in either
house Of congress he turks privatly in
ambush and makes no announcement.
Intrus;ed with plenary power by the
people in 1898, the failure of his admin
istraiion in every department stands
confessed.
His policy at home has been de-
structive, and abroad Illuminating and
/ ignominous. The degraded coalition by
whieh he was elected made no promises
that he has not violated, and gave no
pledge that he has not betrayed His
| tariff reform has afforded neither reven-
ne for the treasury, protection for capi-
tai, nor wages for labor. His financial
measures have restored neither con-
fidence nor prosperity. Upon the pre-
text Of replenishing the gold reserve
the national debt has been increased,
and bonds sold to favored syndicates to

Ills diplomacy has been apologize

corruptible integrity, he retires with a
vast fortune accumulated during the
most disastrous period in his country's
history, in which millions have been
reduced from affluence 10 want aud
from poverty to beggary.
History will record its incrcdulity
that such an inpos,er could SO long
escape detection. He is the central
! figure Of one epoch to which no lover OF
his country will ever revert without the
blush Of indignant shame at the de-.
struction of its resources and the degra-

that has no parallel except in the time
of Wslpole, described by Macaulev as
the era Of dwariish talents and gigantic
vices; the paradise of cold hearts and
narrow minds; the golden age of the
coward, the bigot and the slave He
