This is the problem which Tacatanee, Lillian Russell's Indian coachman, has been trying to solve, and at times it has aroused the wild blood of his ancestors in his veins, and made him long to scalp some­ thing.

THE WHEAT MARKETS. POINTS THE CAMPAIGN Ofl*» TOR OVERLOOKED. Xaond-Moathed Champion# of the Alleged Free Xr»de,Riirty Shown to Hav* Been Prevaricators--Risley-* Appolatmtllt M lnsa|t to Patriotism. Statistical Facts. During the last campaign the ora­ tors of the alleged free-trade party told the farmers of the West very much about the "wheat markets of the world" from which the McKinley law shut them out These orators and organs did not undertake to lo­ cate these markets, but they declared with much vehemence that all Europe wanted our wheat and would take it if the wheat growers would take their goods in exchange. In this connection the report of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture showing the "production and distribution of the principal agricultural products of the world," as given in the Indian­ apolis Journal, is of practi­ cal value, because it shows the average wheat crop, country by country, and the quantity of that cereal consumed by its people. In connection with the loud-mouthed proclamations of the free-trade cham­ pions, it is interesting and can be of practical value as an educator, since the wheat statistics show how wide from the truth the regulation West­ ern speech of the free-trade orator can be. The wheat market of the world is confined principally in Eu­ rope. The statistics of the imports of wheat into European countries which do not raise enough to feed their people show an average yearly importation for the decade 1881-'90 as follows: Net ftnports * * bushels. ..UmlH, 19,170,050 16,7t>7,31» v: • »,!>75,7'j!) ................ «S,.W1,63!> e,in.*4<> M,t-'67,7i>0 .105,527,618 Countries.

Total 0*0,942,525 Thus it appears that the countries of Europe which do not raise their own wheat have been importing an average of 240,942,525 bushels a year during the decade ending with 1890. That would be a good deal of a mar­ ket for the world outside of Europe if Europe had, no countries which ex­ port wheat, which, unfortunately for the wheat-market-of-the-world theory there are, as follows: Net exports Export ing countries. bushels.

As Cuba is included in Spain, the actual European deficit is eight or ten million bushels less than the above figures show; so that, in fact, the European wheat market which is open to the competition of the world is contlued to the 124,698,- 307 bushels required by Great Britain and Belgium. An Insult to Patriotism. In appointing John R. Ripley United States Minister to Denmark, Mr. Cleveland has once more shown his contempt for American principles and American patriotit-m. If this man's record had been known to the public at the time of his nomination, as it unquestionably was known to Mr. Cleveland himself, a storm of protests would have swept the coun­ try from the Atlantic to the Pacitle. The gravest charges are made against Risleyin connection with his conduct in handling sums of money belonging to other people. These accusations of embezzlement may not be tiue. At any rate, they are not yet proved. But it has been authoritatively stated in the news columus of Democratic as well as of Republican newspapers that Risley, who comes from Indiana and is a brother-in-law of Senator Voorhees, was, during tlie war, a prominent member in the treasonable organizations known as the Sons of Liberty and the Knights of the Golden Circle. This statement has hot been contradicted lrom any reli­ able source. Both the Sons of Liberty and the Knights of the Golden Circle were conspiracies of Northern Copperheads to aid the Confederates in their efforts to destioy the American re­ public. Copperheadism was rampant in certain portions of Indiana during the war. The men who belonged to the vile organizations whose purpose was to convey treasonable informa­ tion to the enemy and cripple the loyal armies by striking cowardly blows at the Union cause from the rear, were worthy to rank with Bene­ dict Arnold in infamy. The Noith­ em veterans and the Northern people tan respect the brave Confederates who fought openly in the field for a cause which a great majority of their number sincerely believed to be! just But no term of con- I tempt and condemnation in the! English language is strcng enough to characterize adequately the Northern traitors who hampered every move of the Government dur­ ing its life and death struggle with its enemies and plotted to send fire and pestilence through the cities of the North. Beside such men R6bert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jubal Early were models of knigbtly mag- . nanimity and manly virtue. J There are plenty of Union Demo- crats that are qualified to represent; this country at the jourt of Denmark. I The appointment of an ex-Confeder- ] ate, even, would have been far less objectionable than that of John E. Risley. His nomination ought not to have been confirmed by the Senate. Now that it has been confirmed through lack of knowledge as to Ris!eyTs antecedents there should be a unanimous demand from patriotic Americans for the cancellation of this outrageous appointment--New York Pross. Keep tike Fight. GOT. McKinley was emphatically rijyii when in his maniy and inspir­ ing address at Canton he declared: "There is no cause for discourage­ ment on our part We have but to move on with our old-time vigor, yielding nothing of principle. As Mr. Lincoln said Nov. 19, 1S58: -This fight must go on. The cause must not surrender at the end of one or even a hundred defeats.' " This is good common senses, good patriotism and good Republicanism. The Republicas party is far more likely to win the next Presidential election than it would have been if the result of the last contest at the polls had been a division of respon­ sibility in the Federal Government between the two parties. In the completeness of the Democratic vic­ tory lies the assurance of future Democratic defeat. Gov. McKinley pointed out the dilemma in which the Democratic leaders now find themselves when he said: "They have no divided responsibility. There is no longer any excuse for pretense; no longer any room for hypocrisy. If they believe in themselves and their professions of thirty years they can now make them effective. The combination of greed and un- American ideas of intolerant Bour­ bons and corrupt rings that consti­ tute the Democratic party is power- less to govern a great nation. Its only power is the power to obstruct and destroy. When the nation was far smaller and less important than it is to-day Democracy was driven from the helm, because of its treach­ ery and incapacity. The statesman­ ship needed to conduct successfully the affairs of the United States, with its 65,000,000 people and its vast array of magnificent industries cre­ ated by pro lection, does not exist among the rapacious politicians of the Democracy. Bourbon ism and bossism can check the progress of the nation, degrade its currency, disgrace its tlag, and condcmn its hundreds of thousands of well-paid workingmen to ptiuper wages and pauper homes. But these dominant Democratic forces cannot continue to rule. j The Republican party has only to be true to its principles and steadfast in its opposition to Democratic policy to achieve victory in 189t5. The na­ tion that has marched so far in the field of progress will not consent to retrograde in obedience to Democratic demands; Four years of Democratic blundering, dishonesty and hostility to American principles will disgust the nation with Democracy as effect­ ually as it was disgusted thirty years ago. The motto for Republicans was put in a characteristically concise form by President Harrison the other day: "Keep on fighting." * • n Denial Not Arceptetf. John E. Risley, Mr. Cleveland's new Minister to Denmark, denies that he had any connection with the Knights of the Golden Circle. The Terre Haute Express, however, pub­ lishes the following letter, of which it has the original: NEWVOHK. Aug: 8, 1801. H. H. Dodd, Esq., indianupolls: Mr DEAB SIR--Hunt & CA have played the devil, according to reports. Dues he attempt to implicato uny of our friend*, and does it affect our people lu auy degree?

Write to me if you can find leisure. Direct to caro of Thomas Parker & (a, 40 Wall street. Very truly yours, .ions E. KISMET. H. H. Dodd, to whom this letter was addressed, was Grand Commander of the Sons of Liberty, and was ar­ rested for treason. He made his es­ cape at night from the Government building through an open window, left the State and never returned. The foregoing letter shows that Ris­ ley was a close and Interested ob­ server of Dodd's operations and" in sympathy with the Sons of Liberty movement, if not a member of the order Confusing: and Costly. The trouble about the plan of put ting "a dollar's worth of silver in a silver dollai" is that the readjust­ ments would have to be made every four or five years. In 1873 there was a dollar's worth of silver in it, but early in 1878, when the Bland act was passed, there was only 92 cents' worth. Suppose a change had been made in the latter year. Well, there would have been another gap between the metals four or five years later, be­ cause silver kept on falling. Ah al­ teration in ratio effected in 1880 would have made another necessary in 1884 or 1885, if the market value and the coinage value of silver were to be kept within hailing distance of each other, and two or three changes would have had to be made since. This plan is too confusing and costly. An Kxpen-lv.' Costume. The most expensive costume in the inaugural procession was undoubtedly that of a blue-blooded Virginian who is now a prominent figure in the pro- fissional life of Washington. He rode a horse as if he had been born on its back, and was attired in what is left of the Confederate officer's uni­ form in which he served the Southern cause during the civil war. The boots alone cost him between seven and eight hundred dollars. They were made for him a few months be­ fore the surrender at Appomattox by the best boot-maker in Richmond and paid for in Confederate gray- backs. MB. CLEVELAND is particularly anxious that his party shall carry Ohio this year, and, it is said, he wants Allen W. Thurman, the son of the "Old Roman," nominated for Governor. .The President's desire in this direction is easily understood, for a Democratic victory in the Buck­ eye State in 1893 would be consid­ ered by the country to be an indorse­ ment for the administration. As McKinley is to be put up again, how­ ever, the Republicans are satisfied with the situation. No woMAS i* resily beautiful until sheisold. vf . TOOK DOWN THE FLAG.

By Blount's order the American flag was hauled down and the protector ate d i s - solved. This event took place April 1, and was inaiked by MUSTEK hTKVENs' brief and simole cer- enconies. On his ar­ rival in Honolulu the United States Commissioner held two audiences with the provisional government, at the first of whieh Blount presenied a letter from President Cleveland iirtro iuclng the envoy and defining his duties. At the secoud audience, held alone with Presi­ dent Dole, Blount said that the follow­ ing day he would lower the American flag, break up Camp Boston, send the American seamen ba?k to the vessel, and declare the} rotectorate ended. His reason was that he wanted to put the provisional government on a plane of independence, so that in his dealings with it there should be no imputation of coercion. The Provisional leaders were badly surprised, but they spent the night In drilling their troops and preparing for any uprising that might follow the with­ drawal of the marines and blue jackets. The streets worn full of rumors that Blount proposed to restore the Queen, and these wil l tales created intense excitement among the natives. The Queen hastily summoned her followers, and the report was given out that the moment the Ameriean colors were low­ ered she would a$k the Japanese to de­ clare a protectorate. These rumors, however, proved unfounded. The morn­ ing of April 1 a great crowd ans«Trih|«*tl in front of the Government buildings. The full force of the Provisional army was gathered. At the command from Blount a bugler gave the signal and the American colors came down. The descent of the flag was watehed in deep silence. Then the Hawaiian flag was DEATH IS IN THE AIR.

Blount on April 3 had a conference with the provisional leaders, at which he assured them that neither Japan nor any other power would be permitted to land troops to menace the government. Since that thene has been considerable excitement, but nothing has occurred to disturb the peace. The provisional troops are aipply sufficient to guard against any attempts of the Hawaiians to upset the government. It was te- marked by many with surprise that no demonstration of any kind had been maie when the Hawaiian flag was raised. It was afterward ascertained that the queen had requested eome of her people to instruct the natives to make no der. onstration on the occasion. That the royalists, in view of Mr. Blount's first official act, which was un­ accompanied by any word of explanation are greatly encouraged cannot be denied. It is known that Minister Stevens was not informed of the Com­ missioner's intention to lower the flag and the provisional government had less than twenty-four hours' notice. The chief danger apprehended is that of Japanese interference, either on be­ half or at the application of Japanese subjects, or the Hawaiians themselves. Honolulu, always a town of rumors, was startled on the same night on which the proposed hauling down of the stars and stripes became known by a report that the Queen anticipated such action and would apply to the captain of the Japanese cruiser Nanila for pro- i tection against the provisional govern­ ment and assistance to restore her to the throne. Minister Stevens, Com­ missioner Blount and Admiral Skerrett, | consulted over the matter and, it is stated, agreed that Japanese interfer­ ence would be an act of hostility to the United States and that American inter­ ests demanded that such be repelled. No hostile demonstration, however, has been made. WORLD'S FAIR RATES ADOPTED Western Unes Agree on Fares to the Co­ lombian Exposition.

Death and disolation followed the tor­ nado which swept the Southern and Western States. At Higginsville, Mo., the path of the tornado was 11)0 yards wide, and in the entire distance of fif­ teen miles not a farmhouse or a tree remains standing. Eight persons were killed outright and three more will probably die from their wounds, and twenty-five were wounded. The tornado swept down upon that part of the coun­ try at exactly 7:40 o clock in the even­ ing. It came from the eouthwest and traveled northwesterly a distance of fifteen miles. It passed sis miles north of Higginsviils, two miles south of Dover and two miles southwest of Page City, It crossed both the Chicago and Alton and the Missouri Pacific Railroads, breaking wires, absolutely shutting the people off from communication with the outside world. Just before the awful crash there was a moment of death-like still­ ness. All along the line the Inhabitants of the houses which were just outside the path of the tornado agree to this. Then there was a frightful crash, which could be plainly heard as trees and houses were swept away. The storm si ruck Dent County near the center on the west side, cours­ ing to the east. It made a path in that county from two to four miles wide for a distance of twenty-five miles. Trees, fences, houses and bams were demolished ana many persons killed and injured. The greatest loss of life Is reported from Condray, a mining town of about 300 people. Only three houses are left standing there, and nine persons were killed, Over fifty others were injured, several fatally. A MisS Lay was blown away and has not been found.

At Bockport, Ind., during the terrifie wind storm the new three-story briek building of Honig & Co., on the publlo square, toppled over. It collapsed with a crash, falling on and crushing to the ground the small dwelling and store of Houston Frank. Mr. and Mrs. Frank are known to have been in the store, and it is believed that several men are also dead beneath the ruins, as some as­ sert that they saw two or threfe people enter the store just be­ fore the catastrophe. Honig's build-' ing was not completed • and less than a half dozen workmen were employed in the lower floors at the time, and not one of these escaped. John Taylor, a colored workman behind the building, was crushed and will die. He is the only person out of a possible six or eight who has been dug out of the ruins. The home fire department turned out, and assisted by 1C0 citizens the work of clearing away the wreckage was car­ ried on. Advices received from over Indiana tell of heavy damage and loss of life. A tornado swept over the southwestern portion of Kokomo at 4 o'clock in the morning, demolishing the machinery- room and boiler-rooms of the American Strawboard mills; Bobert Douglass, an employe of the mills, was instantly killed by the falling walls.

Lut it remains for the ; V** Chinese to do something which we in otlr country would consider very bar- •-<! barous and cruel indeed, and it is this: The Chinese do not admire small eyes, and to reach their standard of beauty a * A*. V girl's eyes must be not only very large. ^ but very long and brilliant. The eyee ' S||K & are easily made brilliant by putting cer- - • /£*- tain drugs in them, but to make them ^ long when nature has not intended ' g < ? to foe so is quite another matter. To ; accomplish it the women have often m- ; cofrse <o a kind of home surgery which" must be very fainfui.

A ^ ; very small slit is made, and this is then •" ft jy* left to heal. As soon as it is healed it T- •"* is slit again. And this process is con- - tinned until the eyes appear very loag^'fe and i rominent , - She Could Not Plow. ~y.
