Meteors are always iniereting,whetb er in the firmament or in politics or businees. Just now, Joe Leiter, a young smnthe faced man, of Chicago, is the star of the businees heavens, a plunger from Plungerville, handling millions as ui oat of ns would dollars or cents. It goes into wheat just now, and if wheat goes np as be predicts the gains will be counted in numbers that will make even the head of J Pierpont Morgan swim. A Political Review From the World. Tbe year 1897 bas been a year or po litical importance, in the principal inci dents of the year we have combined to prove the inability of the Republican party to meet the responsibilities of government. The campaign of 1896 was waged partly upon the theory that a BepuMi- can victory would restore confidence and a revival of confidence would go far toward the restoration of prosperity. The first half of the present year so com pletely annihilated the eonfderee argu ment that it will not be able to do ser vice in another campaign. The busi ness and bank failures which followed ths election proved conclusively that the mere announcement rf a Republi can victory, so far from being a panacea, was not even a palliative- The President, by asking for authority to appoint a commission, to seek foreign .aid in the restoration of bimetallism, and the Republican Congress, in appro priating money to pay the expenses of the commission, presented an unan swerable indictment against the gold standard. It will not be possible for a supporter of the Administration to deny the logic of the argument that an at tempt to get rid of a system is a con fession that that the system is not satis factory. The Dingley bill, pasted at a special session of Congress, embodies in concrete form the Republican plan of relieving the people by increasing their taxes . The only affirmative aid promised by the Republican platform was an increase in the tariff rates, and in calling an extra seeeion of Congreee for ths sole purpose of administering to the people the stand ard Republican rare for all political ills tbe Administration exhausted its rem edies. Just as Congress was about to adjourn ths President recommended a monetary commission, toe purpose of which was to reform ths currency in such a way as to make it harmonise with tbe gold standard. This message was significant because it was equivalent to an an nouncement that tbe Administration did not expect the restoration of bimet allism, and by many the message has been regarded as a suggestion to England not to make any concessions to our com mission. Tbe subsequent failure of tbe commis sion to secure an international agree ment ie probably tbe most important political event of tbe year, because it puts an end to a delusion which bas for twenty years been employed by mono uetallists to pacify tbe people while the gold standard was being strengthened. The mask must now be thrown off and a foreign financial policy must be defended by tbe Republican party, not on tbe ground of it desirability, but on the ground that the American people are impotent to rid themselves of it. Tbe unsuccessful attempt made by tbe Republicans to turn to partisan ad ren tage an unexpected rise in wheat was important only as it proved tbe farmers' acquaintance with the money question ana nis anility to reason from cause to effect. The elections of 1897 were important because tbey showed conclusively that there is a growing hostility to the poli cies advocated by tbe Republican party Not to be overlooked is tbe persistent efforts now being made dy tbe national banks to bulldoze tbs government into a surrender of the sovereign right to is sue and control the paper money of tbe country. No recent year has witnessed such an exhibition of selfish disregard of tbe publicweal as that manifested in the demand of the financiers that they be permitted to regulate tbe volume of pa per money. Last, but not least,among ths political events ef tbe year may be mentioned the prompt action of the Senate to recognize tbe beligerent rights of tbe Cubans and tbe failure of tbe House and Adminis tration to support tbe Senate's position . William J. BavA. Indian War Resolutions. At their recent meeting in Albany the Indian War Veterans paietd the follow, ing resolutions : W herran. In tbe early settlement ol the country that now constitutes the States of Oreyon and Washington the numWr of (lie regular troops of tbe Unite J States service stationed in these territories was too small to be able to furnish sufficient protection to the While Settlers to protect them in their lives and propertyjlroni the depredation of the savage foe; and that whenever an attack was made by eevetal combined Indian tribes at tbe same time npon the Whites, it became necessary and im perative for the local governments from time to time to call upon the Settlers for Volunteers to aid iu protecting the homes of Pioneers from distraction atd the Settlers themselves ftom indiscrim inate murder of men, women and child ren in the most tortuiing and barbarous manner. Tbe Pioneers always respond ed to such calls a ith a patriotic spirit. Although poorly equipped with arms, clothing and provision, they took tbe field to chastise tbe Indians and secure for their wives and children homes that would be free from iuture attacks. In the discharge of this duty they ere ex posed to inclement winter weather in an open bleak country, with no shelter but a thin muslin tent, or the south side of a sage bush, at tbe same time gathering much of their piovision from a cocntry that had been raided and ransacked by banda of hungry Indians, and at times being compelled to subsist on boree meat as their principal diet. About four- fifths of these who volunteered in these Indian wars have passed off tbe stage of actioo, and those who remain are all old and infirm, not able by labor to earn for themselves a living, as tbe youngest are now over sixty years of age, it being now forty-one years since tbe clots ol tbe war of 1855 and 1856, and many of those now living, by exposure while in the service, contracted diseases wbicb medical skill cannot cure, if tbey had the means to employ such . Besides this tbe pay they fiually received Iron the Government was oilv a small psit of w bat was promised them by acts ol territorial legislatures. There Vo'.un tears were from tbe Pioneers who had lett the stales east of the Missouri River, crossed tbe plains, mountains and dee- em for some two tbourand Eva hundred nih-e, which required fiom five to nine month to make the journey, expectine tli. G jvercment to give them a donation of 320 r 640 acres. But when they made ee tlement npon their claims tbey ere iiunDelied to buy tbe land from tbe Indiana, who claimed to hoid the till and with whom tbe Government bad am vet made any treaty. There has been mucL opposition to granting a fail compensation to the Volunteer in tbe war of 1855 and 1856. because the; would not muster into the regular ser vice of the United States and place themselves under tbe command of the reautar officers of tbe army. These Volunteers bad been in this eouutrj some time and bad become familiar with the mode of warfare tbe Indians employed and knew that i n order to conquer them it required the same mode of warfare tbe Indians used, and tbey believed it wool 4 be folly to try to conquer the Indians by fighting them the way civilized nations flht one another, and as tbe war progressed it demonstrated that tbe Volunteers were correct in their opiuions, for before the Regulars got fairly in the fitld the Vol unteers had tbe Umatilla, TaHa Wailas. Klicfcitals and tbe Vackimas conquered and driven out of their native lands. The fact is, that tbe Volunteers did astlv more towards keeping the Indians f this Coast in subjection than all tbe regular troops ever in the service of this country. Therefore be it Resolved, That tboee Indian War Vet erads who are still alive are by every eense of honor and justice entitled to re ceive from tbe General Government lib eral pensiones to assist and relieve them in tbeir last declining Jars, and we res pectfully. ass tbe President and tbe members of tbe United States Senate and tbe Speaker and members of tbe House of Representatives to take up and pass Senate Bill No 344 or House Bill No 10 at an early date of this session of the 55th Congress. And we especially cat', upon the delegation in Congreee from this Coast to use all honorable means to ' secure aid and relief to all Indian War Veterans who served in any Indian War on this Coast prior to tbe year 1857. Resolved, That ws hsve 500 copies ol this Preamble and Resolution printed, and one of t he tame be sent to eacb member in tbe Cor greet of the United 8ta'es. On motion tbe tame wat unaoimoutly adopted, and on motion 500 cop'.et were ordered printed and aent to eacb member in (Le Congress of the United States.

Extra quality. V. E, Brownell. Life is a battle field. Every day brings its fierce, unceasingr con- flict; every night leaves ita multitude nf ?ad and dying. The horrors of war are no greater than the horrors of disease. If all the nations of the earth were at war against each other there would be no such carnage TO-ougnr. wit inn tne year as that which is accomplished annually by one dread disease consumption. And vet this most fatal of all diseases is not without its remedv. It ia no longer the irresistible destroyer that it was considered thirty years ago. An entirely new aspect Is put upon the possibilities of this dreadful malady by the astounding remedial action ot Dr. Fierce s Uolden Medical Discovery, which cures consumption by nourishing the lungs with an abundant supply of pure, highly -vitalized blood. This stops the formation of tuberculous matter, and builds np fresh tissue, muscular flesh and vital energy. It gives digestive power to the stomach which is too weak to assimilate oily emulsions. Miss Lucy Klorffler, of Armada. Mich., writes : " When I was shout eight years of age I had in datamation of the lungs, and from that time np I was sick nearly all the time and had a doctor nearly all the time. I would take cold so easily it would go right to my lungs.

Senator Chandler hss wiitten a letter to the Washington Post, in which he says: "If the secretary of the treasury and bis single gold standard associates will cease their demand for impossible cur rency legist ition, congr-'s lil pass tbe necessary appropriate a bills, probably take care of Hawaii and Cooa, there will oot be a serious party division during tbe session.and there will be an adjourn ment in May. Business will revive, tbe balance of trade will continue in our fav or, and tbe republican party will, in November, 139S, elect a majority of tbe house in the 56th congress. On tne other band, if Secretary Gage continues to press upon congress a bill, tbe object ot wbicb he eaye, ie first, to commit tbe country more tbourghly to tbe gold standard. and ths immediate result ot which is to throw doubts upon ths sincerity of the president's declarations in favor of ef forts to secure bimetalism, a political turmoil will arise in congress which will split the now nuited republican parly in to fragtnenU,wbile it wtli unite and con solidate tbe now incongruous opposition, It is not feasible to retire tbe greenback ttie.-e ia mors probability that a b'.ll will be sent to tbe president to increasa tbeir amount. It is not possible to secure the passage through either bouse of a bill making tbe greenbacks into gold notes, (or authorizing bonds payable iu gold. It ill also probably result in tbe passage ol a bilMortbe redemption of the green backs in silver dollars and for tbe pay ment of all United States bonds in gold or silver coin, Ha tbe discretion of tbe president, who will 'be commanded to exercise bis option for tbe ad vantags of tbe government, and not for the advan tage of t& creditors. "With-iucb an uproar in congress a these proceedings will create, with cer tain congressmen embroiled tberein,wilb presidential vetoet.at threatened by Sec eelary Gage, under angry discussion, it will hsppen that all business entert riees and funds anJ stocks will be disturbed, dices will tall, insolvencies will increase and the republicans will lose thecoegree sional elections in 1S3S, as ditast rously as they did in ISOO.and beyond tbs hope of a favorable reaction in 1900, at wbicb time, "therefore, a Bryan democratic president and congress wil be cbosen.

How much Secretary osge caret for the republican party it net anown. Whether President McKinley, wbose good faith toward bimetalism is coming to a test, will etop bis secretary, it not knewn. It i hoped be will. Bnt no political situation haa been clearer than the present one ie to touod eyet since the repubiicau party began us marvelous csreer 42 yeats ago.

Shall we wait for these tbiiigs, or rosb on to self destruc tion? President McKinley mast decide. Will he a' t for his people, or for hie plutocrats? Upon bis answer will de pend the events of 1898. The Emperor of Germane is accused of being stark mad, and there are a good many things tbat indicate it pretty strongly. His conduct for some time hasceitainly been of a crazy order.
