ItErCllLICANS CONGRATULATED,
Ohloans Complimented for ThelrFight In Be
half of America Against Foreign Interests.
Columbus. O., Nov. 7. The Republican
State committee to-night issued an address
to the Republicans ot the State, congratu
lating them upon the victory of Tuesday in
spite of the exertions of Chairman Iirice, of
the national Democratio committee, and
his 'presence in the State preceding the
election. The committee says the result is
an indorsement of the McKinley bill and
the administration of President Harrison,
and is a decision in favor of American as
against foreign interests.
The Democratic committee points to rbat
they consider a substantial victory in the
State considering the circumstances and
disadvantages of the extra legislative ses
sion, and the chairman says the McKinley
bill was the leading issue. The Democratio
committee rec ognizes the efficient services
of Chairman IJrice, especially in the close
congressional districts, and states that his
attitude was that of an adviser and worker,
rather than a dictator, a term which they
apply to the Kepublican national chairman.
WHAT POLITICIANS SAY.
Wisconsin's "Bad Boy" on the Bennett Law
Col. "Win. F. Vilas for Senator.
CniCAGO, Nov. 7. George W. Peck, Wis
consin's newly elected Governor, arrived in
Chicago this morning. Mr. Peck declared
the result of the election in Wisconsin was
no surprise to him. It was, in fact, just
what he expected. "The defeat of the
Bennett law," he explained, "was the will
of the people, and as such must be taken
as final. The passage of the law was all
wroug, and it will be repealed."
"Do yon think a similar one will be en
acted!0
"I do not Nothing is needed to take its
place."
In reference to Senator Spooner, Mr. Peck
said he would, in all likelihood, be suc
ceeded by Col. Win. F. Vilas. "Mr. Vilas is
Eopular," ho said, "and everybody likes
iin. Still, there are alwavs a eood many
candidates for an office, and there will be
no exception in tills case."
Vilas, Dlckin ion and Fair child.
Albany, Nov. 7. The Argus to-morrow will
publish special dispatches from ex-Secretaries
Vilas and Fairchild and ex-Postmaster-general
Dickinson, giving their opinions on the result of
the election. All enter into a full dbcusslon of
the forces that brought about the result. Mr.
Vilas says that it is an emphatic denuncia
tion of the methods of the Republican
party. The country now understands the
tariff question and the Injustice of the principle
of protection. The farmers and the laborers, the
true wealth-makers of the land, understand the
significance of Grover Cleveland's honest ap
peal to popular intelligence and appreciate
the eacrlUco he nobly made that they might
bo led to knowledge and freedom, and
they understand also the shamelessness of the
methods which have been openly taken to rivet
the McKinley tariff upon the people even against
the popular voice, by packing the Senate and by
attempting to seize control or the election of
members of the lower house through the force
bill.
Mr. Dickinson says: "This election means
that a rreat . popular movement cannot
be erected or controlled by the use of
money, and that the elective franchise
4s still pure. It means that Senator Ingalls was
wrong when he proclaimed that ; the Iecalogue
had no place in politics, and flnallr It means that
party honesty is party expediency. M
Mr. Fairchild says: "Great as was the rebuke
of Tuesday's elections, it no more than equaled
the offenses rebuked."
Breckinridge on the Speakership.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 7. Congressman W. O.
P. Breckinridge thinks some of the candidates
for Speaker have been somewhat forward In an
nouncing their claims on the speakership of the
next House. While ho is willing to accept
the honor himself, he is not following the course
of Bynum, Hatch and others in blowing their
horns in self-praise. In closing an interview on
the subject, he says: "The election next fall In
New York, Ohio, Iowa and other States will
demonstrate whether this revolution is perma
nent . or whether there is danger of a reaction,
and until thoe elections are over the Demo
cratio party will not have proper form as to what
may be most wise for the House to do. I am not,
therefore, now a candidate for Speaker, and I do
not think I will be until after the elections I do
pot wl3h to be understood as criticising the ac
Uons of my friends and colleagues who have or
may announce themselves candidates."
A Had Case of Scare.
Chicago, Nov. 7. The Evening Journal, for
many years one of the stanchest of Republican
papers, in the course of a double-leaded editorial
on the political situation - this af temoon says:
"What now shall ,be the Republican party's
coursel Simply this: That it must live up to
what are its real principles. The McKinley bill
must not stand unchanged. It must he modified
in almost its every feature. A national caucus
of the party has been held and its leaders must
obey the dictates of that caucus. There is no
occasion for delay until a Democratic Congress
has assembled and a Republican Senate given
assent to the chances required. The Republican
party is ' tho party of the peopl and one of re
form within itself. It has now its opportunity."
Within Hearing: of the White House.
Washington, Nov. 7. Tho Democrats of the
District of Columbia to-night celebrated their
victory by firing a salute back of the White
House grounds. Fifty-two rounds were fired in
honor of the Democrats carrying the Fifty-second
Congress by such an overwhelming majority.
Another dispatch says it was intended to tire
the salute in the White lot, immediately south of
the President's house, but Colonel Ernst, super
intendent of public buildings and grounds, pos
tively refused permission for it to be fired from
there. He did not think it proper that such a
Falute as the one proposed should be tired under
the windows of the White House and on property
belonging to the whole people.
Their Foreign Allies Delighted.
Paris, Nov. 7. The Paris journals hail the
Democratio victory in America with satisfaction,
and express a hope that America will now adopt
a wiser economio policy. The press generally
urgo the government to abstain from a policy of
prohibition against American goods.
Berlin, Nov. 7. The result of the elections in
tho United States are considered here to bo fatal
to the McKinley bill. American importers are
giving nearly as many orders to German manu
facturers as they did before tho adoption of the
new tariff legislation.
Britons Eager for the Day of Free Trade.
London, Nov. 7. The ignorance of English
writers on American topics, which was referred
to in yesterday's dipatches, is again illustrated
by some of the comments in to-day's papers re
garding the American election. It is actually
declared in more than one editorial that Presi
dent Harrison and his Cabinet ought to resign
now that the country has repudiated their
policy. The idea that the American govern
mental system is radically different from the
English seems not to have ocourred to these
writers.
Swearing to Their Campaign Expenses.
New "York, Nov. 7. In accordance with the
requiremei ts of the new ballot law, the state
ments of several of the candidates who ran at the
last election were filed with the county clerk to
day, showing the amount of money expended for
election1-expenses. The amounts as a general
thing were of a trivial nature, the largest being
1321 expended by candidate McDennott, who
ran for Assembly In the Eighteenth district.
This amount, he swore, ho expended for adver
tising. Hill Congratulated on McKInley's Defeat.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 7. Congratulatory tele
grams continue to pour in upon Governor Hill
from Democratio leaders all over the country.
L. P. Oligber, chairman of the Wayne county
Democratic committee, which is Major McKIn
ley's district, telegraphs Governor Hill: "Wayne
county congratulates you on Warwick's election.
Your presence in the district contributed much
to tho result. Come again in 1892.
Mills Also Wants the Speakership.
CniCAGO, Nov. 7. The Associated Press is In
receipt of the following dispatch from Roger Q.
Mills, now at Corslcana, Tex., in reply to the In
quiry whether he would be a candidate for the
speakership of the next House of Representa
tives: "To your telegram of yesterday 1 answer
I shall be a candidate for tho speakership of the
House of Representatives of the Fifty-second
Congress." , -
Career of a Noted Counterfeiter.
8 AN Antonio, Tex., Nov. 7. James Lay ton,
aged eighty-one years, was remanded to Jail, to
day, in default of ball for counterfeiting. Lay
ton is an historical character and perhaps the
oldest counterfeiter in America. He (was first
convicted in the federal court here in 1878, and
given two years for counterfeiting. A short
whijc after being released he was overhauled by
the federal court in eastern Texas, and given live
yearn for a similar offense. He had ot been out
of the penitentiary more than two years when he
was caught at his old tricks at Yoakum several
days ago. He made a splendid presentment ot
the trade dollar, using a composition of melted
glass, lead and other metals, and coating the whole
with silver. He has succeeded in flooding this
Rart of the State with his 'spurious coin before
cing detected. He has devoted his life to the
business, and taken his arrest with remarkable
coolness.

Than During the Preceding One.

Alleged Election Joke Campaign Lie.
DESERTERS AND RECRUITS.
Interesting Statistics Concerning Our Army
The Canteen System Successful.
Washington, Nov. 7. Acting Adjutant
general Channcey McKeever, in his annual
report, says that it gives him pleasure to re
port that the desertions from the army dur
ing the pastyear were 4S0 less in number than
during the preceding year,, and the per
centage, as compared with the enlisted
strength, was reduced from 11 to 9 percent.
The heaviest proportionate loss was in the
artillery, where it amounted to ll.C per
cent., the infantry losing 9.3 per cent, and
the-cavalry 7.7 per cent.
Great progress is reported to have been
made in tho establishment of the canteen
system. At present canteens are in suc
cessful operation at sixty-eight posts, and
dnring the six months ended June SO, 1890,
transacted a business of 474,025, with a
resulting profit of $8S,4S0. Says General
McKeever: "Some misconception has
grown up in the public mind in regard to
these institutions, engendered, no donbt,
by the generio term nsed as a designation.
As conducted in the American service, the
canteen is simply a co-operative establish
ment, in which a general business, under
careful military supervision, is conducted
in the sole behalf of the enlisted men of
the army. There can be no question that
it has contributed largely to the comfort
and contentment of enlisted men, and there
by improved and strengthened discipline
throughout the service."
Concerning the recruiting service, Gen.
McKeever says the operations have been
carried on in oyer forty smaller cities and
towns, where recruiting parties have been
sent into the surrounding rural
districts to obtain recruits from
farming and other communities away from
the great centers of population. In like
manner, special regimental recruiting par
ties have been sent out into about thirty
different towns to conduct temporary ren
dezvous therein and . freely canvass the
contiguous rural districts. The class of
men thus obtained is believed, from reports
received, to be considerably above the gen
eral average; and during the present fiscal
year, with the additional appropriation
made for the purpose, it is proposed to ex
tend the plan in order that its merits may
be more fully tested. In conclusion, Gen.
McKeever says: Of the 6,390 accepted re
cruits, 4,052 were native-born and 3,323 of
foreign birth; 5,875 were white and 515 col
ored. Seventeen thousand five hundred
and sixty-three applicants for enlistment
(over 73 per centum of the whole number)
were rejected by the recruiting officers as
lacking the necessary qualifications, either
physical, mental or moral.
MUCH ADO AIIOCT NOTHING.
An Alleged Election Joke Canses Trouble at
the Washington PostofUce.
Washington, Nov. 7. Postmaster-general
Wanamaker has directed postmaster
Sherwood, of the Washington postoflice, to
suspend Mrs. Margaret S. Watkins, a clerk
at the general delivery window, for using
offensive language toward, Kichard Quay,
the son of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania.
The circulated account of th) aflair has it
. that young Quay asked for his father's
mail at the delivery window, and somo one
standing near remarked: "He's dead. It
goes to the dead letter office now,'7 and
Mrs. Watkins. who was on duty at the
window, thoughtlessly repeatedthe remark.
Mr. Quay, it is said, seemed to regard the-
matter as a joke at the time, ana wanted
awav smiling. Postmaster-general Van-t
amaicer says that Mr. Qnay told him tbat.1
the clerk at the delivery window said that t
his father was dead and that his mail jvont
to the dead-letter office. He immediately,
ordered the suspension of the clerk Until'
an investigation could be made. Superin
tendent Bell, of the city delivery, admits
that ho made the remark, which Mrs. Wat-
kins repeated. ;'
Written statements with reference to the1
alleged otlense from Mr. Bell and from Mrs.'
Watkins were submitted to Postmaster-gen
eral Wanamaker by Postmaster Sherwood.'
to-day. Mr. Bell's statement was to the
effect that when Mr. Richard Quay called'
for his father's mail Mrs. Watkins asked'
in the office where Mr. Quay's mail was.
Some clerk, who had been reading
the election Teturns, ropliod, "In., the
dead-letter office." Mrs. Watkins me
chanically repeated the words seriously
to the gentleman at the window, Mr. Rich
ard Quay, who then turned away, smiling.
Mrs. Wat kin s's statement agrees with Mr.
Bell's as to the circumstances, and she adds
that she intended no discourtesy whatever.
The name of , the clerk who suggested that
Senator Quay's mail could be found in tho
dead-letter office was not given in Mr.
Bell's statement to the Postmaster-general.
Further investigation to ascertain his name
will be made. Mr. Bell said the alleged
offensive remark was merely a pleasantry,
not intended to reach the ears of anybody
outside the office.
It Was a Democratio Campaign 1,1 e. . .
Washington, Nov. 7. A statement having ap
peared recently to the effect that the Mexican
government had placed an import duty on cattle

quost that the real facts be ascertained. He is
now in receipt of a communication from the De
partment of State, inclosing a tclepram from the
United States consul-general at Nuevo Laredo,
in reply to one from the State Department in
structing him to make Inquiries on the subject,
in which that official states that no such duty
has, to his knowledge, been Imposed by the Mex
ican government, but that that government is
now preparing a tariff bill, none of tho details of
which have been so far made public.
, Customs Recommendations.
WASniXGTON, Nov. 7. Mr. Holliday, the Com
missioner of Customs In his annual report to the

tion be had providing for the abolition of all fees
and commissions, and that fixed salaries be made
for collectors of customs and surveyors acting as
such, and providing an adequato appropriation
to carry on the business of collecting the revenue
from customs.

ROYAL is the only Baking
Powder . Absolutely Pure.
'The only Baking Powder yet found by chemical analysis to
be entirely free from both lime and alum and absolutely pure, is
the " Royal." This perfect purity results from the exclusive use
of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent pro
cesses which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impur
ities. The cost of chis chemically pure cream of tartar is much
greater than any othcr, and it is used in no baking powder
except the "Royal."
Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for the U. S.
Government who made the analyses for the New York State
Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, and
whose intimate knowledge of the ingredients of all those sold in
this market enables him to speak authoritatively, says of the
purity, wholesomeness and superior quality of the "Royal":
"I have tested the Royal Baking Powder, and find it com
posed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of
tartar powder, and does not contain either alum or phosphates,
or other injurious substance.

Prof. Love's tests, and the recent tests by the Chemical Divi

INDIANS DELUDED BY SAINTS
General Miles Thi nks the Mormons Are at
the Bottom of the Messiah Craze.
What lie Saw and Learned on His Investigating
Tear in Utah, Montana and the Dakotas
A Christ That Talks All Languages.
St. Paul, Nor. 7. Maj.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, U. S. A., commander of the military
division of the Missouri, arrived in St.
Paul yesterday and registered at tho
Ryan Hotel. The General was interviewed
by a reporter, and in the course of a long
conversation made soma interesting btate
ments regarding the causes and nature of
the religious craze now existing among the
Indian tribes of the West, "I have benn
out in Utah, Montana and t!To Cheyenne
reservation," said General Miles, "investi
gating this craze. You have no donbt
heard that the Indian tribes in the dis
tricts I have mentioned are reported to
believe that a Mesiah has come who
is to restore them to their former glory,
bring back the buffalo and drive the whites
from the land. I havo learned that this
belief exists among the various tribes of
Sioux, Cheyennes, Blackfoet, Shoshones
and other tribes. In all the craze has ex
tended to sixteen tribes, tho Snake Indians
being the only ones to repudiate it.
"There is no doubt that many of the
Indians holding this belief in the Indian
Messiah are sincere, and some few have
certainly seen some person whom they took
to be the Messiah. Several small parties of
Indians have gone westward from their
tribes to some point which is, as near as I
can locate, in Nevada, and there they have
been shown somebody disgnised as the
Messiah, and have spoken with him. I am
inclined to believe that there is more than
one person impersonating this Messiah, as
when Sioux have spoken with him he has
replied in the Sioux language, and to
Blackfeet he has spoken their tongue,
and so on with the representatives of each
nation or tribe, speaking their own lan
guage to each."
"Who do you think is responsible for
this imposition upon the Indians?"
"I cannot state positively, but it is my
belief the Mormons are the prime movers
in it. This is not a hard statement to be
lieve, for there are 200.000 Mormons, and
they themselves claim to believe in proph
ets and spiritual manifestations, and they
even now claim to hold intercourse with
the spirit of Joe Smith. Besides, they have
had missionaries at work among the In
dians for many years, and have many con
verts."
"Do you think this new belief of the In
dians will lead to an outbreak and blood
shed!" 'I don't think so; but where an ignorant
race of people become religious fanatics it
is hard to tell just what they will do. It is
noteworthy, however, that this so-called
Messiah tells the Indians that when he
comes to reign over them tire-arms will no
loneerbousedor necessary. lie tells them
also that with his coming the dead Indians
will all be raised to life, the buffalo will re
turn and he will draw a line behind on
which ho will gather all the Indians, and
then he will roll the earth back upon the
whites. This has naturally excited the In
dians, and large numbers have accepted
the new belief. Among those who have
done so none are more ardent than Sitting
Bull, who is intensely Indian .in all his
ideas."
"Do you think the person who is imper
sonating the Messiah is a white man or an
.Indian!"
"Those who have seen him say he is muf
fled up and disguised so that they do not
see his face, but I believe that he is a full-
blooded white. The arguments that the In
dians used in discussing tbe matter is that
the whites have had their Messiah, and the
Indians now have theirs; that if it is rea
sonable for the whites to believe in a Mes
siah it is reasonable for the Indians to do
so too, and that they have as much right
to have an Indian Messiah as the whites
have to have a white Messiah. The situa
tion 18 not alarming in any Way, and 1 do
not know whether any action will bo taken
by the government regarding the matter
until after I have made my report."
