getting interesting to the peo-
pie from the Indian nation.
The Indian appropriation bill
with the Platt bill as amended /
tackled on it, comes up tomor- /
row. 1t is rumored around the /
hotel lobbies that certain sen
ators are going to fight it. But
/ am confident it will pass both |
houses and become 4 law. It'll
may be slightly amended, but
it will pass this congress. 1t Is
not what we want exactly, but
it is far more preferable than
anything offered before.
There has been a radical
change i'll the minds of men
both in the house and senate
since | came here and began 10
lay out conditions and claims
before the committees, and 1t Is
very clear to my mind that the
change IS in our favor.
Theye are several men in botl
houses now that maintain tha,
we have rights there and
/ that we must be protected when
4 the allotment is made.
The question now Is, not how
TO move us, but how 10 provide
+ for us to remain and not inter
fere with nor delay allotment.
This bll may 90 to a confer
ence committee. \ member o.
that committee has requested
me to prepare an amendment,
and have 1t ready so that when
the committee meets, il there
are any changes to be made
looking to putting the allot,ce
in possession where there is Il
=. bona fide lease tha, an amend
, mem can be eugra,ted therein
to protect rs.
There is bu- one way, to my
mind. that the allotment con be
, made and at the same time i 20
tect us, that j in line with tn,
amendment | have offered e
! validate our contract and th,
citizen take his allo,meuj sub.
iect to the conlract or lease.

s Then it follows according t
/. this estimate, that the ciize

PROSPERITY POINTERS.

Denver Republican: Notwithstanding the
discouraging decline In the price OF silver
the outlook for the people of Colorado In
the immediate future is unusually good.
The state was never blessed with such heavy
crops as at present, and the mineral output
for 1897 promises to break all past records.
Philadelphia Record: a dispatch from
New York says that the wooden cloth mills
have more orders than they can fill for the
spring trade, and many Of the manufacturers
are extending their plants and putting in
new spindles. This is tangible evidence OF
the business Improvement which is in pro
gress in all directions; but in the wooden
industry 1t is stimulated by exceptional con-
ditions.
Louisville ourier-Journa MIR. John
Wanamaker is happy over returning good
times and gives reason after reason why
he believes the era of prosperity Is upon us.
We note this for the information of our
~silverite contemporaries. which a few months
ago were filling their columns day after day
with ELUSIVE commentator OF Mr.. Wanna
maker because then he could not see any
such Indications.
Globe-D Democrat: That increase of more
than $6,500,0 600 in the loans of the New
York clearing house banks last week Is a
striking evidence of the Improvement In
business. The increase in loans has been
under way for many weeks, almost without
interruption, but the expansion has seldom
been as great in six days as it was in those
just ended. From this time onward the in
creased demand for money in the great iinan-
cial centers of the country is likely to be a
familiar story.
Sioux City Journal: The northwestern
farmers have been busy with their harvest
ing and thrashing the last week or two.

grain is not an unusually heavy one, but
there are no large sections of country in

the maintenance OF the gold standard,
thus assuring the stability of the cur
rency for at least four years.
1t Is suggested that the sales ofAmer-
lean securities in London, which have
recently been large, may be due In pat
to irritation over our new tariff law, but
this is hardly a sufficient explanation.
A better one is the statement that Lon
don bankers are probably d%iscouragiag
investments in American securities from
an apprehension that a stringent money
market might result. The European de-
mand for our breadstuffs is certain 10
make n heavy drain upon the fo:cigu
money markets. it being estimated that
before the end of the year Europe will
owe this country a balance of from
5000 900, 900 to $3.50, 1000, 900 on the trade
account. Whatever may be the present
motive for the foreign sales of American
securities, the unloading, it Is safe TO
say. will not continue if the conditions
which make for prosperity improve. Not
only will foreign capital be invested in
our securities, but it will go into produc-
tive enterprises here, as it did in former
years of prosperity.

Remarkable Projects Undertaken by
Tesla ana MarcOni.

80 i's'' ~
In two different ways the subject Of wire
less telegTaphy has just been brought for
ward prominently in Europe and America.
BY far the bOldest conception is that of
Nikola Tesla, whose ideas frequently take
on a cosmic sweep. This young American
proposes to use the earth itself at a part of
his telegraphic apparatus, drawing its cleo
tricity 'out of and forcing 1t in again, and
producing everywhere on the earth's surface
electric phenomena that can be governed
sufficiently to convey messages. 1t Is a
tremendous thought, but Tesla has pursued
it with mistaken faith for several years, and
he considers his latest experiments to be
the most convincing. His machinery for
sending a telegram, or even power, stimuli
taneously to all PARTS Of the earth includes
an oscillator connected with the ground and
with an elevated object, preferably a balloon.
A rhythmic Obj and flow of electricity is
thus excited in the earth and the air. The
voltage is enormously high, and with his
apparatus Tesla says he can obtain electric
eparks a mile long. AS yet his practical tests
have been confined to his laboratory.
But the European method OF telegraphing
without wires begins with short distances
and Is much further advanced, having been
capitalized and madeoready for speedy appli-
cation. 1t is the invention of a young Italian
named Marconi, whose experiments have
been under the inspection of Mr.. Preece, the
head electrician tlof the British postoffice.
MarcOni has sent a message electrically with
out wires over a distance of twelve miles.
He also uses an oscillator connected with
the earth, and with a vertical wire. By in
crossing the height OF the vertical wire the
influence of the current is registered at a
proportionately greater distance. A wire on
a ships mast 100 feet high would insure
communication at a distance OF twelve miles.
Marconi's own discovery Is the possibilities
of the vertical wire. Last week In London
he received $50, 900, in cash and $3.50 900 in
shares for the control Of his invention out
side of Italy. The system will be applied on
the Channel islands by the Postofice depart
ment.
Tesla's design Is amazing in It's scope,
| while Marconi Is content with smaller re-
| suits to begin with. Yet the Italian thinks
| that he can telegraph across the Atlantic
II his vertical wire Is carried high enough.
| Tho tall towers built to crafty curiosity may
| yet find another use. In telegraphing with
| out wires, by either system. 1t is first neces-
| sary. by means OF the oscillator. TO create
| an electric wave OF intense agitation. The
| wave can be gathered and reflected In any
| direction. registering itself upon resonators
| at a distance. As often happens, two in
| yentors have been working independently
| on much the same general idea. Marconis
| system will be the first utilized because 1t
| has been thoroughly tested over short dis
tances. Wireless .teiegraphy Is an assured
| fact, and its future may outrun even the
marvellous specuiations Of Tesla

BILLY'S GETTING OLD.

S. L. Kiser in the Cleveland Leader.
Billy once was widely enyied
BY his fellowmen;
Handsome Billy spent his money
Very freely then;
Now his following has dwindled,
Since he boards his gold,
And he goes to church on Sundays
Billy's getting old!
Billy used to be the greatest
Ladies' man in town;
Silly's gorgeous entertainments
Won him wide renown;
Billy used to rave a figure
Graceful to behold,
Now he stoops, his knees are shaky-
Billy'S getting old
Oft in former days we've seen him
With his blooded pair,
And some hattered one beside him,
Radiantly fair!
Now his chin rests on his breast in
Many a flabby fold,
And his coachman holds the ribbons
Billy's getting old!
There were suppers for sweet singers
And for merry dancers, too;
There were yacht rides-he. was captain.
And fair women formed his crew;
But the suppers and the froiics
On the deck and in the hold
Serve no longer to amuse him
Billy's getting Did!
Yesterday I saw him driving
out to get the air;
No a woman sat beside him,
Radiantly fair;
Ger his eyes a film had gathered,
On his hair the mold
That relentless Time spreads over
Billy's getting old!
Once his faithful wife was lonely,
Others claimed his smiles;
She was left to sit and ponder
Over woman's wiles:
But today her breast is laden
With a joy untold
He has drifted back unto her
Billy's getting old!

TIRE ASSASSINATION OF CANOVAS.
The assassination of Prime Minister
Canovas bercft Spain of her foremost
statesman. She has other able and dis
tingulshed men, but none who in
equal degree with the dead premier en-
joys the confidence of the nation. Ca
nuvas was esteemed by his countrymen
not alone for his superior ability MS a
statesman, but as well for his absolute
loyalty to the throne and his earnest
patriotism. He was a Spaniard In every
fiber, profoundly devoted to the interests
Of his country as lie understood them.
The killing of Canovas seems to have
been purely an act of revenge. The
murderer, 1t will probably be disclosed,
was selected by some organization of
anarchists of which he Is a member, to
thus avenge the anarchists whom the
Spanish government has punished. Con
s%equently, the event has no direct bear
ing upon political conditions in Spain.
But it may have a far-reachiug effect, for
unless an equally strong hand shall be
found to administer the government the
elements OF ulSCOru are likely 10 lnlul-
fest themselves. Very recently there
have been reports of a probable Carlist
movement and there Is an undercurrent
of dissatisfaction which can be kept in
control only by such n man as Canovas.
What the effect will be upon the Cuban
situation it is not easy to %foresee, but
it appears to be the belief of the Cubans
that it will be helpful to their cause.
The dead statesman ardently supported
the policy of General Weyler and it
is, perhaps safe to assume that the elc-
ment in Spain which has been urging
a notification of that policy will now
become more aggressive and possibly
succeed in having its demand needed.
In the meanwhile the Cubans may be
expected to show increased activity.
The assassination shows that the spirit
of anarchism is still active and this fact
will o fail to impress itself upon the
ruling classes of Europe.

RcmnrlSnblci {>cmnnd for American
.g Manufactures Abroad. u.,

Philadelphia Times. r
The most striking feature of the tabulated
statistics relative to the various articles Of
domestic export for the last fiscal year Is the
increase OF nearly $50, 600, 900 in the exports
of domestic manufactures over those of the
previous year. The schedule shows a marked
increase in every branch Of manufactured
goods which we have heretofore exported, in
Guiding manufactures Of brass and copper,
and of cotton, bicycles, scientific instruments,
iron and steel, railway bars, wire, machin-
cry and paper, the greatest proportional in
crease being in bicycles and parts of bicy-
Giles, the value of which Increased from
81, 1898, 012 in 1896 to 81, COS, 1923 in 1897.
The value of the manufactured goods ex-
ported in 1897 was S276, 357 ,S61. as against
1928, 571, ITS in the previous year, and this
rapid increase suggests the very pertinent
inquiry as to the need of high protective
duties to shut out foreign competition when
we are successfully competing with foreign
manufacturers in their own markets. These
figures also suggest the entire absurdity CT
the pretense that high duties will produce
revenue.
These figures show that in the lines of man.
ufactured goods in which we have acquired
especial skill we can successfully compete
with the world, and they simply enforce the
lesson of learning the trade of manufactur-
ing In all its details. We should be able
to compete in textile fabrics as well as in
bicycles, locomotives and steel rails, and will
when we determine to produce the best goods
that can be made.

A ~REPFBLTCAN SENATE.

The republican national committee
appears to be fully alive to its RESPONSE
bilities in connection with the state cam
paigns soon to open. Its efforts, accord
ing to Washington advices, will be
mainly directed, as they properly should
be, to the choice of legislators in states
which will elect new United States
senator's. The terms of thirty senators,
or one-third of the full senate, expire in
1899. There is good reason to believe
that in addition to the seats they now
hold the republicans have an opportu-
nifty to gain a senator from Maryland in
place of Mr.. German, a senate from
Wisconsin in the place of Mr.. Mitchell
and a senator each from North Dakota
and from West Virginia in place Of
Mr.. Roach and Mr.. Faulkner. 1t is
quite possible, also, that a republican
senator may replace Mr.. Smith Of New
Jersey, while Mr.. Turpie of Indiana
may have to give way to a republican.
There is thus a promise that h re-
publican membership of the senate will
be increased from four to six two years
hence, which would give the republicans
n safe majority in that body during the
latter part of President McKinley's term.
OF course we assume that the successor
of Mr.. Hanna of Ohio in the senate will
be a republican and it is needless to
say hat in that event he will be con-
tinued in the position. We do not, how
ever, underestimate the fight which the
republicans of Ohio must make in order
to win and they are making the most
ample preparations for it. Their con-
test will be directed mainly to the cleo
ton of members of the legislature, be-
cause they realize the paramount i'm
portance of electins a sound money SEN
ator. Taking the result in Ohio for
granted, if the republicans can secure
three additional seats that will give
them a majority in the senate after
March 4, 1899, and with a republican
house in the Fifty-sixth congress, which
we think can be confidently predicted if
tinue, the republican party will be in
full control of the government during
the last half of McKinley's administrn-
ton and will be enabled to put all its
policies into effect.
From the general trend of political
sentiment at this time it seems entirely
| safe to predict the complete %ascendancy
of the republican party within the next
two wears,
