It is, believe, generally
that Governor Jarvis
will be a candidate, next year, for
the United States Senate and it
will conceded that his eminent

and the people. In fact, we be-
it will be seen as the great
campaign approaches, that his
name will furnish a rallying point
around which all who wish to
save the State may gather to do
battle for the best interest of the
people.
It must be apparent to the
thoughtful observer that strong
effort will be made to consolidate
tho Third party and the
can party. Already,

vomited three black crows. Pres-
Cleveland is not sick, and
he has not been sick since he
left Washington. In fact, there
were few days while he was away
that he did not perform of
his public duties, as the records
in tho office of his private
will show.
The passage of the bill for the
unconditional repeal of the
chasing clause of the Sherman
silver law by the House has
public attention upon
the Senate, where financial speech-
es are now the order of the day
How long the Senate will talk
before voting is a question that
will be differently by
nine out of every ten men in
Washington. Two weeks is the
shortest time given by anyone,
and the longest goes away up in
the months. An agreement of
some sort will have to be
before a vote can taken, and
tho silver declare they
will make no agreement, unless
tho bill, which has been
reported as a substitute for tho
bill, that was passed by
the House, is amended in a man-
satisfactory to them. The
democratic leaders, are
confident that an agreement will
shortly be reached.
Procrastination be the
thief of time, as the old school
adage says, but it isn't getting a
chance to steal much of it from
the House Ways and Means com-
, i which has buckled right
it is said, the tariff question with
met and the determination to report a re-
form tariff bill at the extra session.
While the committee is not dis-
posed to encourage long-drawn
out hearings of every Tom, Dick
and Harry who may think them-
it is possible for these lead- selves tariff experts, it will grant
to consolidate tho rank and file
of their parties against Gov Jar-
vis. His whole life, both public
and private, has been marked by
his earnest work for the education
and uplifting of tho people. He
has in public and in private shown
himself to be the friend of the
people and
promising advocate of the
of their children. But few
men in tho State who are not ac
engaged in the work of ed-
have given as much of
their time to this important work
upon which the best interest
the State and the people depend.
The people know this. They
appreciate it. They believe
in this man of the people.
They have confidence in him
and we repeat the leaders of
the Third Republican part-
cannot consolidate the rank
and file of their parties into an
organization to defeat him.
We are not unmindful of the
fact that the struggle nest year is
to be one of vital interest to the
State, and that it will require a
powerful effort to overcome the
enemy, but we also believe that
our distinguished fellow county-
man his tho necessary elements
of strength for such a contest.
We feel authorized to say, how-
ever, that if it shall develop
that any other Democrat can do
better, that he will subordinate
his personal to the pub-
good.
It is generally believed that the
repeal of the Sherman bill which
is now about concede will re-
store confidence, and that the
money now hoarded up will be
turned loose and the panic will
be over. Secretary is re-
ported as saying that there is
more currency in the country
outside of the Treasury of the
United States by than
there was on the 1st day of
1892, when the country
was in a prosperous condition,
and that the panic is due not to a
scarcity of currency, but to the
fact that it has been locked up.
This being true there is no reason
why business should not assume
its usual aspect as soon as
is restored and the money
now held in clutches finds its way
into circulation again. This is a
hopeful view to take of the
and we trust may be fully
realized in the near future.

by reason of their prominence in
lines of business that may
affected by a change in the tariff
have a reasonable right to be
heard. The hearings will begin

Speaker Crisp did a very
although not unprecedented
thing when he called
Richardson, of Tennessee, to
the Speaker's chair and descended
to the floor of the House to reply
to the unjust and uncalled-for at-
tack which ex-Speaker Reed made
upon the now rules of the House.
Mr. Reed was surprised, and be-
fore the Speaker got through
disgusted to find himself justly
held up to the scorn of the House
and the country for having falsely
claimed that the now rules were in
the line of the notorious rules
with which he gagged the House
of the Fifty-first Congress. It is
not the first time that Mr. Crisp
has proved himself more than a
match for the Maine blusterer,
and it will not be tho last. The
difference between the new rules
of the House and tho notorious
Reed rules is precisely that be-
tween the Government of tho
United States and the Govern-
of new rules put
the authority for shutting off
debate in the hands of the major-
of the House, where it alone
the old it into
the hands of Reed, making him
more of an autocrat than would be
tolerated in any legislative body
of the world.
It is queer how some things
work. It is now said that Col.
Charles P. Lincoln, who was De-
Pension Commissioner
who has lately
gained some notoriety by publicly
announcing his intention to test
in the courts the right of tho Com
missioner of Pensions to suspend
pensioners, except in cases where
fraud is proved to have been u
in securing the pension, got tho
scheme up for no other purpose
than to boom his candidacy for
of the G- A.
R. at the coming encampment of
that organization at Indianapolis.
It is regarded as significant
that Speaker Crisp should have
attached I am in Washington
on that to his acceptance of
an invitation to deliver a short
address at the centennial
of the laying of tho corner
stone of the Capitol, to be held on
th 18th It is taken
to mean that the Speaker thinks
the extra session may
before that date, consequent-
that the Senate will be
in acting on the bill.

had accomplished it. At ten o'clock
we were within two miles of the

line had strung out for n mile or
more. Between us and the cross-

had mode highway. It was a
grassy road, about twenty feet
soon wide, twisting and turning like a
creek. Either side was lined with
dense thickets. Half a mile down
the highway it was crossed by a
creek with steep banks. Half a
mile farther on was a second creek.
No man the column of two
men knew what lay beyond the
first turn. The halt to close up was
a precautionary measure, but no one
dreamed of danger. If the hostile
Indians had not turned or

We turned to the left and flanked
the position. We had made a dis-
of seven miles when Indians
were seen and skirmishing began,
but they soon retreated southwards,
and as we followed them up they
crossed the Little Missouri. It was
the band we had hoped to intercept,
but why did they turn back without
a fight Everybody was asking the
question when a few of us rode off to
inspect the ambush. The death trap
had been set for us between the
creeks. The lower end of the avenue
had been blocked with felled trees
bushes, and trees partly cut
down would have blockaded the up-
per end as soon as the last horseman
had passed. The road here narrowed
to fifteen feet. Wherever there was
an opening in the bushes which lined
the sides it had been closed with
thorns.
From sunrise that morning the
Indians had been waiting for us. Al-
most two hundred warriors were in
hiding behind the bushes, ready to
thrust out their rifles and fire at the
signal. Perched in the trees along
the way were half a hundred boys
armed with bows and arrows. Hid-
den away under the banks of the
creeks were a hundred or more
squaws, armed with hatchets, knives
or clubs. It was not to be a battle,
but a massacre. No mercy was to
be a prisoner taken.
Scouts had observed our approach
and reported. When the head of
our column had fairly entered the
lane the eager squaws and impulsive
boys could hardly be controlled. In
their moving about they frightened
the wild animals out of their re-
treats and sent us the warning.
They did not know why we halted,
hesitated and then took another way.
