The New Commissioner Of Indian Al.
fairs.
From the New York Times.

FItlii tue NOW 1OEh Ilu3Ss-
The appointment of Gen. Francis A.
Walker, lately head OF the Censps Bur
eau, to be Commissioner of Indian Al
fairs, is one which reflects the greatest
credit upon the President, and which
will prove eminently satisfactory to all
who desire a proper solution of our
Indian difficulties.
Gen. Walker is Glear-headed, decis-
I've, energetic, unlmpeachably honest
and humane. He will not suffer the
Indians to be abused orcheated but he
will require them to keep the peace,
ond will see to it that they are not I'M
duly petted, nor cheated by spectators
in the Indian Ring, nor allowed to
murder nj will; He viii be terror to
dishonest agents, and his appointment
gives reason to hope that the mislnan-
agement and corruption which have
caused IN the past, and under other
Administrations, so much waste and
trouble among the Indians, viii now
be finally remedied.
To the people OF the Western Terri
toriee, where the Indian question is
one of constant excitement and veXation,
we can say, that they have now at the
head of Indian affairs man who will
do all that is just and honest, and to
whom they may look for protection,
and very energetic protection too, from
the class of men who, IN too many cases
have excited Indian difficulties by their
corrupt and reckless conduct, as sub
ordinate agents of the Government
Nor will he allow sentimental desire
to- permit the Indians to stand in the
way of making them obey the laws and
keep the peace with their white neigh
hnrs

Thanksgiving
y Y b L LA NCH .

BY BELLA FRENCH
Oyou, in homes of wealth and ease.
With naught of care
Where music floats upon the breeze,
And perfumes rare
From sweet exotic flowers rise;
Where mellowed light
From colored windows greet your eyes
An Eden quite.
You, who have everything to love
And much to bless;
Your voices, sure, should rise above
In thankfulness.
And you, whose path is not as sweet
With perfumed fiow'rs-
Who tread on thorns with bleeding feet
Through weary hours;
Within whose homes dwell want and cold.
And naught of cheer;
Whose misery may not be told
To mortal ear
1t is by you the angels wait
With sweet CaTess,
To I'LL your spirits, soon or late,
With thankfulness.
o, who in all this peaceful lard
Such sorrow wears,
That he sees not the Fathers hand
Mid al his cares p
Who, be he great or all unknown,
viii turn away
From worship at the Makers throne
Thanksgiving Day?
O, who so poor he cannot see
Something to bless
Something for which to bend the knee
In thankfulness?

Victor Emmannel's Opinion of Napo-
leon

a characteristic story of King Victor
Emmanuel is related by NJ. d'IdevilIe,
formerly French charge d'0fairs at
Turin, in his diary now in course of
publication in the Journal de Paris.
The King having received letter from
Napoleon III, in which the latter re-
voked certain promises he had made
to HIM on former occasion, was furi-
Gus, and took the first opportunity of
venting his anger on the Emperor's
representative. At the next court ball
he summoned Prince Latour d Au-
vergne to his presence in private room,
and addressed him in these words !:
after all, what is this Emperor of
yours the last conner among the Eu-
ropean SoverelgnS-an intruder and a
parvenue. Let him remember what he
is, and what / ami, the head of the
first and oldest Royal dynasty that now
reigns in Europe Prince Latour lis
tened to this outburst with as much
calmn ess as he could command, and
then observed. "Slre, you Will per.
NIT me not to have heard a single word
that you have spoken" The King
said nothing but turned away. In the
course of the evening, however, he
came again to the Prince, and tapping
him familiarly on the shoulder, whis-
pered in his ear with a smile, "You
need not report our conversation of to-
day to Paris, cher prince. Besides you
told me yourself that you did not hear
what [ said.

ago he entered the town of Gonzales,
and was Immediately arrested.

Postmaster General, exhibits gratifying Increase
in that branch OF the public service. it is the order

greater blessing to the whole people than it is now
The suggestions of the Postmaster General for
Improvements in the department pre- sided over bv
him are earnestly recommended to your especi ii
attention, especially the documents favorable to
the consideration Of a plan Tor uniting the tele-
graph system Of the United States with the postal
system.
1t is believed that by such a conrse. the cost of
telegraphing could be much reduced, and the ser
vice as well, il not better, rendered 1t would Sc
cure the further advantage by extending the tele-
Erdpn through POI tons OF The country where pri-

Commerce, trade, and above all the efforts to
bring people widely separated into community

these facilities, together with speedy news from all
parts Of the country.

A Novel Railroad.

A novel tramway or railroad has been
lately built in Turkey, by an English en-.
gineer, the propelling power of which is
not steam but animal horses or mules
being employed. A single rail is laid on
sleepers, and the carriage has wheels in
the center on the same longitudinal line
Through the car runs balancing pole
the two ends of which, projecting three
feet or more, are secured to saddles on
the backs Of mules. The animals win
thus be one ut each side of the load in
stead of in front, as ordinarily. It would
be impossible for the cart to turn over
because in order TO do SO, II would have
to force one mule to the ground and lift
the other in the air; and, moreover as
the floor would only be six inches above
the rail, an oyertip would be of no ac-
count. All the weight in the cart. If
evenly distributed, would bear upon the
rail, and the animals, having no load ,on
their backs, would be able TO exert con.
siderable traction power. The inventor
suggests Its employment not only for
military purposes but also for tramways
in large cities; and says that, where
space Is very valuable, hose or mule
on only one side Of the cart would be
sufficient. In towns, on bridges, and
other important places, the rail might,

The most experienced yaccinators on
the one hand. and those who have had
the most 10 do with the treatment OF IN
fantile ailments on the other, agree IN
the belief that disease is not communi-

English physician. in the performance OF
more than fifty thousand vaccinations,
has never seen other diseases cOmmu-
uicsted with the vaccine disease. nor
does he believe in the popular reports
that they are so communicated Mr..
Lees whose observations werrequally ex-
tensivc. has borne similar testimony.
DIR. W. ,Jenner. who in six years had
some thirteen thousand sick adults and
children under observation, states that
in no case had he reason TO believe, or
even to suspect. that any constitutional
faint had been conveyed from one per-
SON to another by vaccinations" During
a period Of seventeen yeats DR.. West

Prof. Paget. after an extensive familiar

which, but for It, might nave remained

Where every person in community
has been properly yaccinated, there i
but little chance for smallpox to obtain
a foorhold and it is also very certain
that the presence of the unyaccinated is
a standing invitation to the development
and spread of epidemics.
The opponents of vaccination, and a
far larger number who from ignorance
or carelessness neglect the precaution,
thus become, so far as the public health
is concerned, dangerous class, which,
like other dangerous classes, it is for the

Agricultural Report.
WASHINGTON, October 20

WASHINGTON, October 26
The report of the Department Of Ag-
riculture for October says the influence
Of drouth and the unusually low temper
ature Of September has been unfavorable
to tho ripening of fruits and to the ma
turing Of corn and other crops. No gen
eral or serious damage has resulted to
corn, large portion of the crop being
well advanced by the high temperature
of August before frost appeared. The
drouth Of midsummer has been almost
unbroken in the West up to the time Of
these returns, interfering greatly with
the seeding Of grain, and with the germ
nation and growth of what the farmers
have been able to plant.
The present condition of corn, ex-
pressed as a percentage, 100 representing
a good crop, is as follows: About an
average in New Hampshire Of III; in
Massachusetts of 1903 in Rhode Island
of l01; in Connecticut Of 105; in New
Jersey of 102; in Delaware Of 1903; in
Maryland of 10a; in Arkansas of l02 |;
in Missouri Of f12; in Ohio of 100; in
Wisconsin Of 1903; in Minnesota Of 10 !;
in Iowa of ia; i'm Kansas of 1,9; in
Nebraska,of liz.
The product Of wheat, as calculated
from county estimates, appears to be
about seven per cent. less than last year.
The percentage Of last years crops in
the several States Is as follows: Maine,
