(hck. The PilaiiuMfowdgrew
so restive under the many re
cent misrepresentations of
their idol's mental and ph
al condition that they he
came suspicious that some
of the Harrison crowd was
irponfMhle for some of them,
a n d a little investigation
pi )ved that their suspicions
were only too well founded.
Then there was a roar which
waft heard hoth at Par Hnr
hnr and Cape May Point,
aiid Mr. Harrison straight
way sen for Dan Uansholl,
hisMarshall of the District
of Columhia, and confidential
personal friend, and through
him the word was passed to
the Harrison lambs that
there must he no more false
bleating, and so ihe matter
stands just now, but the
Plaine lions have their blood
up and it need excite no sur
prise at any timeshould they
make a inurderousonslaught
upon the Harrison lambs
and destroy the entire flock.
They would gladly do it if
Keeper Plaine would but say
the word.
Indian Commissioner Mor
...in ivlm tins ever since In
Hi " ,,w
has been in office madea fight
against theHonian Catholics
engaged h educating the In
dians, has now decided that
i ii i...
no more contracts sunn u
made with the Huron u of
'atholic.Missionsfor Conduct
ing Indian schools. Foryears
all contracts for ('atholic
Schools on the Indian rescr
vations have been made with
this bureau of Xissions, the
headquarters of which are in
this city, nnd this entire se
verance of rclati. -)ns is regard
ed as the direct result of re
ligious bigotry and prejudice,
the possession of which show
that Mr. Morgan is entirely
Unfitted for the responsible
position h e holds. What
makes the thing so very un
fair is that contracts are be
ing made, as tisUal, with oth
er denominations for the con
duct of Indian Schools. His
not for a moment to be sup
posed thatMr. Morgan made
such an important decison
without the consent and sup
port of Secretary Xoble and
Mr. Harrison, who are the
proper parties to hold respon
sible fo this most remarka
ble case of religous proscrip
tion. Ex-Congressman Kerr, of
Pennsylvania, to whom more
than any other one man is
due the credit for the demo
cratic victory in that State
last year, was in town sever
al days ago consulting with
the officials of the National
Association of Democratic
Clubs, nnd he bronght news
that warmed the cockles of
demoerntiehearts. Mr. Ken
is no rainbow chaser as his
friends very well know, there
fore when he says he thinks
that Pennsylvania now a
doubtful State, with the odds
decidedly in favor of the;

and besides this, the new bal
lot law will be worth at leasl
10,00!) votes to the demo
era tie party, because it will
enable it to prevent the re
publicans voting the dead
men who have made up a
large'parl of their majority
fori'years.
In spite of republican at
temps to create hard feelings
and antagonisms between
the candidates for Speaker
of the next House, the best
feelings exists between the
gentl'Miien. Messrs Crisp and
MeMillin are both stopping
at the same hotel, and to see
them together no one could
suppose that they were in any
sense rivals. Mr. Mill.-, is a'.-o
hero and all three of them
are constantly meeting in
the most social manner. It i-
nonsoiiso pure and simple to
say that any man hasatthis
time a certainty of being e
lected Speaker, as more than
a majority oT the democrats
of the next House are st.il!
unpledged.
It is stated positively by
republicans that Senator
Quay will retire from the
chairmanship of the republi
can national committee at
the mreting of the executive
committee which has been
called for 'he 20th inst., in
Philadelphia, but that he will
continue to be a member of
the committee. His retire
ment will please a great ma
ny republicans.
Representative Crain, of
Texas, passed through Wash
ington last week on his way
to New York on business. He
said he had nothing to say
politically until hego through
with his business but that
when he returned to Wash
ington, which would pesoon,
he might have some politi
cal opinions to express. He
has shaved off his mustache
avid many of his friends did
not at first glance recognize
hiin.
The ex-Confederate Veter
ans Association of Washing
ton will tomorrow attend the
unveiling of a monument to
(hn. Thos. J. (Stonewall)
Jackson at Lexington, Va.
It is believed that some
thing important in a finan
cial way is up in administra
tion circles, as Mr. Harrison
telegraphed for Secretary
Foster to come to Cape May
Point just after he had had
a. long conference with Sena
tor Allison, chairman of the
Senate committee on appro
priations. Mr. Wanamaker isn't to-day
half as big a man in the eyes of
Mr. Harrison as he was when he
raised that $4-00,000 campaign
fund By the way, it would be
interestii'g to kn.iw how much of
tin? money of the Keystone na
tional bank went into that cam-
paigii fund. It would also be in
teresting to know whether Kxam
iner Drew, who has been allowel
to resign, is to be the only Feder
al official punished for this dis
gracefnl affair.

Now what do y on think of
that? Two thousand dol

pay for any kind of work.
That is nearly as much as the
President of the U. S. gets,
and about 200tiuiosasniueh

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has
poured another broad-side into
Senator Sherman, whom he ac
cuses of being the father of the
republican financial policy. This
is a very grave accusation, but

a similar idea or tiny would not

The vacant lots in the east
end of town are now ready
to mow. having a good crop
of grass on them. The back
streets would be good pas

them for onr stock.
"I have boon selling goods'
for 12 years" said Mr. Ilaga
man on closing out his busi
ness in town. "I have? bought
iron In feathers, potatoes in
butter, rocks in hags of wool,
but this is the cutest ?trick I
have ever seen. And sure
enough it was. Uinsang is
worth two dollars per pound,
and scarce nt that. One of
his customers had the paind
to load the roots with lead
at ten cents per pound. Tile
roots had been split while in
a green state and a slug of
lead Inserted, and when if was
dried it was very difficult to
detect the fraud. ,
If it was better known n
broad that Boone could en
tertain summer visitors, the
town would be full every sum

are private houses that could
take boarders and realife 4
nice little sum of money each'

Next week is the time for the
