Temperance In Orange County.

The Quarterly Union of the Good Tenn
plars was held at Randolph Center the 10Th
inst The exercises OF the occasion are re-
ported as very interesting and satisfactory.
Col. Mead gave pleasant and cordial address
OF welcome IN behalf of the citizens OF Ran
dG.ph. A warm discussion upon the ques-
tim, q Is the cause of Temperance best
promoted by secret organizations ws=
held. Mr.. Rufus Nutting was, by his own
request, allowed the negative of the question
There was some sharp-shooting, but all IN a
pleasant manner An address by Hon. y.
r. Cleaveland of Brookfeld commenced the
afternoon exercises, and showed much study
and historical research. The discussion IN
he afternoon was upon the question,
Ought abstinence from tobacco TO be IN
cluded in our pledge?" The affirmative OF
the question was supported by Messrs- P +.
Grow and j b. Mead, the negative by Ii
A. Huse and Geo. Dodge. Several volun-
teers assisted upon both sides. Public ad-

AFFAIRS IN ARIzoNA.-The telegraph re-

fighting the Apaches, and it is not at all sur
prising that they have taken the matter in
their own hands They have suffered be-
yond all endurance, and the recent outrages
perpetrated by the Apaches, and the inefi-
cheney Of the military, have ssorely tried
their patience. A late number of the Gin

Smith, from Tubac, says he fears to return

Over 10000 pounds of his shelled corn has

TIE PLAGUE AT BCENos AYERs.-Ab Jut tie
first of February the yellow fever was intro
duced into the port of Buenos Ayers by
sailor on board ship which had escaped
quarantine. The plague has ragged with
great violence, and the loss Of life has been
fearful. The latest accounts from the fever
stricken city show slight diminution Of the
violence of the plague although we fear
this cessation is only temporary and not per
manent. In population of over 200, 900 it
is estimated that over IS 900 have fallen
victims to the yellow fever, and there are at
least 1000 more sick, of whom the majority
will probably perish. The average number
of deaths during the week ending April IS,
was more than 450 per day. The highest
number reached during one day was on Sun
day, April 9, when there were 749 deaths ,
the lowest number was on Thursday. April
-, when there were 297 deaths. The pro-
portion slightly increased the succeeding day d.
There are probably no more than AZ, 900 in
hahitants remaining in the city About
three-fourths have fled to Montevideo OF to
the country within a circumference Of 80 miles
from Buenos Ayres. Those who remained
behind were the poor people, who exhibited
a strange Indifference to their fate. Strict
quarantine regulations have been adopted
and eFectually have they been executed
that almost all communication with the city
has ceased. Both Dir. Kirk, the American
Minister, and Mr.. Clapp, the American Con
sui, have sought refuge in the country 1t
is gratifying to know that, in this calamity
the American residents of the city have stood
by each other to a commendable extent. 1t
is said that thare is little prospect of materi-
al decrease in the violence of the epidemic
before the cool weather sets in, which will
not be before the end Of the present mon tn

The SENATE IN NKw RoLE.-A most
ridiculous farce has been carried on in the
Senate the past week. The Washington
correspondents of the Tribune procured a
copy of the High Treaty ere the injunction
Of secrecy had been removed from it by the
Senate, and telegraphed the full text to their
paper The Tribune Of course published
It, The Senate Immediately caused the
arrest of the correspondents, and insisted on
their divulging how and of whom they OBJ
tanned the treaty for publication. This
secret the correspondents refused to com
municate. They stated, under oath, that
they did not receive copy from any Senator
Senate clerk, or person officially connected
with the Senate
This averment ought to have satisfied the
honorable Senators, but it did not. Days Of
valuable time have been wasted by them in
discu ssing how to make the delinquents re-
veal, or punish them for not making a rcye-
latOn. They have finally ordered the i'm
prisonment Of the correspondents until such
time they shall feel that confession is good
for the soul as well as the body. The tcle-
graph operator and the editor of the Tribune
has also been summoned before the astute
| committee of the Senate, to state what they
know about the leak in Senate secrets The
country would be quite as well pleased to
have the Senate attend to its proper work Of
ratifying or rejecting the treaty, as to have
it wasting time in learning through whose
instrumsntality that treaty was given to the
public. Great is the American Senate

visited the Indian Office and was addressed
by Commissioner Parker, who reviewed
briefly the action of the government and of
the tribes since the negotiation of the treaty
Of 1868 with the Cheyennes and Apaches
lie urged them to devote more attention to
farming, as they could live by hunting only
few years longer, and stated that it would
please the President, If on their way home,
they would attend the general council Of the
Indian Nations in the Creek Country. Lit
tie Raven an Arapahoe chief, in response,
expressed thanks for their kind reception,
and said he was anxious to establish dlvld-
inc line between the white and Indian blood
A long time ago treaty of peace was made
(Col Mitchell's treaty in 1871, and soon
afterward rich ores were discovered west of
them. This brought the white man TO their
country, then railroads came among them
and later, other railroads came and drove the
Indians away from their homes. They don t
know where this is to end The whites are
approaching them constantly and the lndl-
ans do not know what country is their own.
He knew that the government was kind and
knew also that it h I'd been benefited by the
cold in his land and he would 90 back to his
people without murmuring if he now could
know the same day that the United States
would remunerate them for what it has de-
prived them Of Little Raven laid great
stress upon the existence in the Indian cOun-
try Of railroads and military. He took the
same ground concerning the presence Of the
iron horse and military posts in the Indian
country as Red Cloud did last year He
wants the military removed because he saws
peace existed before they were stationed
among them, and would return when they
disappeared. He also asked, as did Red
Cloud, to be permitted to trade for ammuni-
ton in small quantities at a time, to kill
game with Buffalo Good a Witcheta, also
spoke his principal complaint being that
nearly all the lands given to the other In
dams were the property Of the Witchetas

man = coat and pantaloons, but no green
backs in my pocket, and now | hope that the
government will give me some, so as to show
something for the lands that have been tax
en-. Secretary d ano also addressed the
Indians, stating that the government desired
them to live peaceably and quietly on theil
reservations, and promising to aid them lib
orally in acquiring the arts of civilization.

The Parisians have pulled down the famous
column in the Place Vendome. 1t was of
bronze, one hundred and thirty-fve feet high,
and was made out of twelve hundred cannon
captured in the campaigns of Napoleon, to
whose glory it was dedicated. 1t was over
thrown to express the detestation of the
Partisan Commune and people for the Bona
parte rule and system. As work of art
it was remarkable, being copied after Trojan 8
pillar in Rome. In falling it broke into
several pieces. and the statue of Napoleon
on the top lost its head. A vast concourse
witnessed the event.

GOVERNOR JEWELL in has message, to the
Connecticut legislature, reviews the financial
condition Of the State, and recommends many
reforms.
The debt Of the State has been reduced
about seven hundred thousand dollars during
the past fiscal year, and the total amount is
now SIS, 1904 ,GI0 90. A part of this reduc-
ton is due to the large amount Of money col
lected for arrears OF taxes upon mutual life
insurance companies and railroads, which
have been under litigation for several years
The revenue of the State last year 81 ;
926 .9S3 90. OF this amount the two-mill
tax yielded nearly one-third. The large
amount of 1872, 692 - was paid by savings
banks and 1912, 254 90 by railroad compa-
N es, and Sl7I 1863 10 by mutual life il
surance companies.
The Governor commends the work of the
School Commissioner, and says that the
school fund of two millions of dollars is IN
impaired, and is well invested. The savings
banks have been increased during the year,
and numbers sixty-six, with an aggregate de-
posit of over flty-fve millions of dollars.
The State Prison is self-supporting, and, for
the past year, has a surplus of S2,657. The
Governor recommends further legislation in
relation to the railroad. The length of the
completed railroads in Connecticut is co.
miles, and $50 miles Of new road are now
under contract The earnings of the rail
road amount to about nine millions annually,
and the cost of running them is about SIX
and one-half millions. The Governor also
recommends additional legislation to prevent
frauds at elections, and that law be passed
exempting the salaries of WORM ymen to the
amount of fifty dollars from attachment for
debt.
The Governor makes some important sug-
gestions in relation to the right of married
women to hold property, and the laws of d.
vorce. OF the first, he says, he did two
years ago, - that the laws should be so
amended as to make the rights of the wife TO
her property in all respects equal 10 those of
the husband in his, end that the same inter
est be secured TO either survivor in the pro-
