The insincerity of some of the leaders of the free silver movement finds a very remarkable illustration in ex-Gov. Boies, of Iowa, who has always been very much of a demagogue and has profited consid­ erably by it. He manifested both his dethagoguery and his political cunning in the plank he prepared for the Iowa convention. People who are not so far gone on the silver question but that tliey can calmly consider it from an unprejudiced stand­ point, should read that plank. It does not differ in a general way from some which have been adopted, and the signifi­ cance lies chiefly in the fact that it was prepared bv a Democrat who is a free eil- verite or any other kind of an "ite" if it will only lead him to office. He desired the Democrats to go on record as su.ving that "if when silver and.gold are restored to absolute equality before the law, with equal rights in the mints of the nation and as money of final redemption, reas­ onable experience shall demonstrate that parity at the ratio aforesaid cannot be maintained, we pledge the Democracy of Iowa to aid by every^ means within its power in the establish meat of a new ratio just to all of our citizens alike by which such parity Shall be maintained." The free silyerites are asking the peo­ ple of the United States to consent to a change in financial "policy which would, have, as they claim, an enormous .effect upon this country'? prosperity, and yet- there is so much doubt about it that they consider it necessary to promise as­ sent to a new ratio by which parity shall be tnaintained. This country dare not take such chances--it dare not run such risks as would involve the, necessity of the establishment of a new ratio. Gov. Boies exhibits an utter want of apprecia­ tion of the immensity of the undertaking he so glibly would have the Democrats of Iowa promise. If by any unlucky political accident the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 should be adopted and the inevitable disasters follow, Gov. Boies could, amid the ruins, complacently point to this plank as proof that he had Fmisgivingp and had endeavored to prepare for just such an emergency. The people should be warned against those office seekers who are no more than political weathercocks--men who vote one way when their vote makes no difference, but whoe supporters give private assurances in their name that when the struggle comes they will be found on the other side. Theory on all hands is that there shall beSto jugglery. "The devil is an honorable adversary compared with a Judas." This is a cam­ paign in which-the people should sternl, set aside men who cannot be trusted.-- There is no place in the present emer­ gency for the man who talks one way and votes another and the more exalted his position the more dangerous such a representative becomes. "LITTLE POPLAR'S" SKULL. -OF N EW YORK.-- Gruesome Belie of Indian Warfare Now In the National Museum. A ghastly relic of Indian warfare was recently sejot to one of the professors at the national inuseum in Washington, says the New York World. It is the skull of "Little Poplar," the great fighter and warrior, at one time the sub-chief of the Cree nation. The Crees had their homes and lands in Canada, and when the Riel rebellion broke out some years ago "Little Poplar ' took ad­ vantage of the opportunity it afforded to make war on his own account. He attacked the white settlers, burned tlieir homes, carried off their women and instituted a reign of terror in the region of his operations. Hundreds of persons became the victims of his blood­ thirsty cruelty. ' He destroyed their herds, laid their iiQmes in smoking ruins and put women and little children to the torture. There was, in fact, no form cf'deviltry too horrible for this Indian to perpetrate. . When the Kiel rebellion was crushed "Little Poplar" Crossed to the American side. ' So great was the horror he had excited that a reward of $2,000 was-of­ fered. for his apprehension, dead or alive.' In 1S8G he was murdered near Fort Assiniboine, Mont.,-and the half-' breed Who killed hi.ni received the re­ ward. One of the soldiers of the, fort Watched for year? the lonely grave-in which "Little"Poplar" had been buried, a lid at. last, when he felt certain thatall the flesh had been worn off the bones, he dug up the skull and. kept it as a relic. It has just, found a resting place on one of the shelves of the national museum. MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES. Some Advantageous Alliances Effected by Their Assistance In France. A very profitable form of swindling is that of the matrimonial agencies which aire now worked in France in a manner entirely unknown, says the Lon­ don Spectator, to. M. De Foy, who was the real originator of marriage by in­ termediary. There are, of course, offices where preliminary fees are asked and where wife seekers and ladies yearning for lards are quietly swindled after having been told to go to the opera, the salon or the fashionable church of Sainte-Clotilde. The strange part of $he matrimonial agency scheme is that you never know, when in society whether some banker, priest or old lady cf fierce virtue and mystical tendencies may not be a husband or wife broker. There are young ladies not too thin- skinned, head waiters in certain restau­ rants, livery stable keepers, cloistered nuns, -notaries and lady doctors of the obstetric school. These are only a por­ tion of the army of workers In the inter­ ests ol' Cupid. There are at present in Paris two wealthy American girls who have married titles, upon the wedding day of each of whom a very handsome commission was paid to o^e of these in Lerined i ar ics, of course without the knowledge of the wife. EAGLES AS GAME DRIVERS. Jit For all practical purposes the question of the nomination of the Republican can didate for President appears to be settled in the choice of Major William McKinley, but the question as to whom our people will name for Vice President is still open. There are a large number whose names have been mentioned for Vice President New York State furnishes several, among whom is GEN. E. A. MCALPIN, Adjutant General of the State, on the staff of Gov ernor Morton, Gen. McAlpin's position and his relations with Governor Morton preclude his being an active candidate in his own behalf, but a great many of the business men in New York State and throughout the country, are urging his candidacy. He has been mentioned by the business men of New York for Gov­ ernor of that State, they giving as their reasons for their preference that Gen McAlpin is a man of large property and manufacturing interests, a life long Re­ publican, a man of superb ability and in­ tegrity, and a man upon whom all the factions in the State could unite. These reasons, the people argue, tend to qualify him as a candidate in the larger field, for that of Vice President of the United States, on the ticket with Governor McKinley. The candidate for President coming from Ohio, as he undoubtedly will, the Convention at St. Louis will give the Yi -e President to the East, and probably to New York. If it is to go East the selec­ tion of a man who will add strength to the ticket is desirable to the people in the other States, and we believe that man is Gen. E. A. McAlpin. At the present time he is President of the National League of Republican Clubs, which has a membership of over two millions of active Republicans. Under the leadership of McKinley and McAlpin, and the principals of protection and prosperity, such enthusiasm, interest and confidence would be expressed by the people of this country as would carry the ticket to success and our country back to good times. It is with pleasure that the PLAIN- DEALER endorses the candidacy of GEN E. A. MCALPIN, of New York, for Vice President, and MCKINLEY and MCALPIN , will be our battle cry-from now until the St. Louis Convention, and we hope and believe from that time until the closing of the polls on November 3d. The two Macs, with Protection and Prosperity are bound to win. IST" Political work is the poorest paid work in existence tor the honest and un­ selfish politician. A man may work and toil, spend time and means for the bene­ fit of his party for scores of years,'assist­ ing many into places and power, but when he desires something for himpelf the ones he has aided turn agains* him nine times out of ten. The very fact that he may need a place to assist him in obtaining a living in his maturer years is a point against him. Unless he can surely demonstrate in advance that he will in the future be of material service to those who happen to be in control of political favors, all that he has done for them and others counts for nothing There is no such thing as gratitude for favors received in political circles as thousands have discovered to their as­ tonishment and sorrow. Therefore, the best thing for young and middle-aged men to do is to keep out of politics and attend strictly to their own business if they have any. The days of patriotism in politics we fear have forever passed. B&*If Professor Wilson is the mighty champion of the oppressed that the Dem­ ocrats says be is; if he is the burden-lifter from labor that they claim, why don't they trot him out and run him against the man they used to say was the op­ pressor of labor? Is Professor a quitter like Lord Dunraven? Where is the pro­ fessor"? Let's have a battle of bills. Wm. McKinley and his bill vs. Wm. Wil­ son and his bill.-- Worcester' (Mass.) Telegram.

It would give them a chance to register their emphatic disapproval of the iniquitous measure that has thrown them out of work for the past two years.

Eagles are sometimes of considerable service to a hunter, and this is es­ pecially true of the eagles of the Po­ tomac river at Wide Water, where Pres­ ident Cleveland shoots. According to an American Field writer, eagles on a calm day often give the hunters shots -which they would not otherwise get. The eagle goes flying up and down the stream, and on seeing a flock of ducks goes toward them, hoping to get a cripple, being unable to capture ducks as the peregrine falcon does. When the ducks see the eagle coming they jump into the air and go looking for a safer locality, and this is where the gunner comes in. The gunner's place of con­ cealment in a blind is not nearly so safe as the eagle's vicinity, but the ducks think it is safer till the shot goes through their feathers. Three or four eagles will keep all the ducks on the move, and the gunners get good sport where they otherwise would not have dirtied their gun barrels. The eagles sometimes steal cripples from the gunner, but the knowing man does not hurt the birds, getting his pay bach on calm days.
