Governor Vardaman, OF Missis
sippi, has allowed his policy in the
Equitable to lapse. Perhaps the
governor had not heard that Grover
Cleveland has mutualized the Equit-
able.
The hens in the United States
now produce one and one third bill
lion dozen of eggs year, and at the
high average price of the year, the
hens during their busy season lay
enough eggs in a single month to
pay the years interest on the
national debt.
The Iowa farmer whose love
letters now being read for the amuse-
ment OF the jurymen, demanded for
Christmas l05 kisses, Ia mince pies,
5 blackberry cakes, peck of dough
nuts, twenty pound turkey, pan
of hot biscuits. This demonstrates
pretty clearly whence true love
springs.
Not content with criticising the
club woman, Grover Cleveland has
gone step further, and in maya
zine article expresses the belief that
woman is temperamently unfit to
cast their ballot with wisdom and
that woman suffrage would there
fore prove unwise. Cleveland seems
to be looking for trouble in his old
age, rather than seeking that quiet
ude which is usually alluring to
men Of 68.
A decision has been made by the
federal circuit court at Omaha that
is Of importance to South Dakota,
with its numerous Indian popula-
tion. The court declared that
Indian trusts funds, heirship land
which congress has given title and
money realized from the sale of snch
land and placed in the banks to the
credit Of the Indians, are su5jjee.. 70
taxation the same as similar property
belonging to white people. The
case on trial represents $4,000 on
deposit in banks to the credit of
Omaha and Winnebago Indians,
who have taken land in severalty
and become citizens Of the United
States.
The primary elections in Cuba
indicate complete victory for
President Palma and his party, and
the president viii be triumphantly
reelected in December. Palma
seems to have as strong hold on
the affections of the Cuban people
as Roosevelt has on the American
voters. 1t is true the Cuban cleo
tion was accompanied by more or
less violence, and the duties of the
coroner and the undertaken were
materially increased by the hostili-
ties Of the campaign, but America
has been known to pull of election
troubles rivaling anything Cuba can
put up. On the whole, the United
States, so far, has no reason to be
ashamed Of the young republic or
the part taken by this country in
setting Cuba up in business es an
independent nation.
Il is roughly estimated that the
presents which Miss Alice Roosevelt
has received from the empress Of
China, the emperor Of Japan, the
emperor Of Korea, the sultan Of
Jolo, and others in the far east will
xeooh cash value not far short OF
$780, 900. Miss Roosevelt was
