H, MILLER, of Indiana, Attor­ ney General, JXREMIAH RUSK, of Wisconsin, Sec- rota&*f Agriculture, A Washlnghten correspondent •ays: "Cleveland has on many occa­ sions since he was in offloe shown that he has been controlled by superstition. Only once has he stepped over the spot oa which Garfieid fell. Never, it it said, did he leave the White House by the front door during the long inter­ vals when.the badges ef oflcial mourn log ware draped about the eolumns in the front of (he Exeeutiye Mansion. Os» •!! thsss cecBatons, which have been quite numerous--Sheridan, Ar thnr, Wal te and the rest--the Presi­ dent always left the White House from the Potomac side, and,it probably Ss a fact that no resident of Washington baa aver seen him leave the White i on foot or walk about the city, who are the nearest to Cleve­ land say that he is superstitious, and that he has always been haunted with ifao dread of aome new Gultean." ae~A special telegram from Spring ioldte tbo Chicago Inter Ocean. M4cr date of March 1st. says: wThe •oa. Elijah M, Haines hss not been able to attend the sessions of the House with any regularity, and had he re- gar^ the Instructions of his physieian he would not have been there at all He has been troubled with nervous dyspepsia for years, and his indefati­ gable work has so exhausted his nervous system that his physician has commanded him to take a rest aid get away from Springfield, where he shall aot ba under the strain of following the work of the House, even when confined to his room. Mr, Hainee baifiaally consented to obey the In­ spections of his physiciaa and the wishes of his daughter, who has beau h!« seastaat cssapaaisa and nurse since ho came here. He and hie daughter will leave the capital to­ morrow for their homo In Waukegan, where ho will remain for a week or ten days, and everybody here hopes that the quiet and rest may return tbe "Sage of Lake" to a state of health that will enable him to take part In the sessioas of the future." Wtat Prohibition hag dou tmr Iowa. Bnrliogton Hawkeye:--Iow& is far­ ing bard in the east, and who can won der at It? Not many careful business men or capitalists care to settle or in vest In a state where taxes are from 3 to 6 per cent, when they can find other states where taxes are less than half that amonat. Business men and capi­ tal are not searching for a goody- good? state, ran by the most approved Sunday-school rules, to locate or Invest In. They want to see thrift, eater prise* growth, reasonably low taxes* and a .liberal minded people. They look to Iowa in vain for either of ttus Inducements. PIVOTAL STATUS. Is view of the fact that the t*0 Dakotas. Washington and Montana are admitted Into tbe union? the New York daily Graphic has been figuring oat where the balance of political power will lie in a presidential election. It says that for sixteen years New York's vote has been considered pivotal, and necessary to success, although in 1876 the election was carried by the republicans without ter. Tbe electorlal vote on the admission of these new states will be 414, if the Dakotas are given three congressmen, which Is due under the present appor­ tionment. At. present it is 401. of which General Flarrlson r«c«lved 933 and Mr. Cleveland 1|>8. If New York had cast its vote difi«r«titiv the r# turns would have been r«pnbl lean 197, democratic 204. With 13 new votes to complicate the situation. It will b« readily seen that these new north­ western states will hoM the balance of political powerlif New York should go democratic. The Dakotas are solidly republioaa, Montana and Washington went republican last fall,'and are in line to remain republican for all time. Tbe new settlers are mostly republi - cans and the change In the federal patronage and general policy towards the territories will aid in that result. If Indiana, with her fifteen electorlal votes, should be considered doubtful under an Indiana president, then New York would again he the pivot around which the political world would re­ volve four years hence. But Indiana has now a strong 'republican tendency and cannot fairly be classed as doubtful. The new states are goiog.to be im­ portant political factors. Congressional Parmer's Inst it ate.

"and it seems to us we are on the top­ most current, One cannot go on the strsets without having his ears ofiead- od with ths vilest words, and rever- •nee shocked by ths most profane use of sacred names. Nor does it come from the old or middle-aged alone, for ll Is a fact that the yennger portion ol the oemmualty are most proficient in the use of degrading language. Boys bave an Idea that It is smart to swear; but there never was a greater mistake la the world. Men, even those that swear themsslves, are disgusted with I profanity In young men; because they know that of all bad habits this cling* ths most closely, and Increases with jroara.
