his professional ability and legal attain

A LETTER from Marshal Ney bearing the
date May 10, 1919, has just been received by
Philadelphia medium. The length of time
consumed in its passage suggests some curl.
Gus questions. Tbs first and most obvious
idea which strikes the mind is the great dis
tance of Philadelphia from the spirit land.
We have the impression that communica-
tions Of this nature have been received in
other cities in much quicker time; but in JUS
tice to the Quaker City it should be borne in
mind that possibly the immaterial postal
routes are subject to the same vexatous de-
lays as our own. But unless the missive has
been delayed by some stupid supernal post
master the time occupied in its transmission
furnishes an important datum for the deter
mination of the distance between its starting
point and Philadelphia. The knowledge of
the rapidity of nerve motion gives us the 9TH
er factor 1.-THE velocity of thought) required
in the solution of the problem, and the ap-
plication of well-known mathematical rules
will determine the answer. 1t may be re-
marked in conclusion that the subject matter
of the Marshaps letter is of little public in
terest-or private either, for that matter.

The Philadelphia Press inclines to the
opinion that W. A. Wallace will be the sue

hard battles, endured more contumely, re-

fewer offices than any member of the Demo
cratic party in Pennsylvania. These argu-
ments promise to prove effective. If the De-
mocracy purpose to reward all the battered
veterans who have been brui sed in the fight
against freedom, they must be speedy about
it; for the people feel quite differently, and
will take the first opportunity to stop that
sort of thing.

Report OF the Commissioner OF the
PenObscOt Indians.

The report of the agent of the PeDobscot
tribe of Indians, Mr.. Geo. F. Dillisgham, indi-
Gates that the condition of that tribe does not
differ materially from that of former years.
During the year the total expenditures for the
tribe has been S3,419.3O, and the total receipts
(by warranty $S,41993. The largest expendi-
lures have been for the support of the sick and
infirm Isl 939 SO and for fuel ga, ,6SS.40.) The
fund arising from leases of shores belonging to
the tribe and the special appropriations OF the
Legislature amounts to S5,756.S5, which has
been disbursed as follows:-For support Of
schools, S40O; salaries of governor, lieutenant
governor, and priest, $3.50; paid to members of
the tribe, under chap. 267, Laws Of 1873
81, 1851 90; balance remaining, S545.83.
This is the first year that the above named
law has, or could have, a practical operation,
and the result has proved tito be highly bene-
ficial and of great assistanceito the tribe,-per-
haps more especially SO this year on account Of
the great depression in business enterprises, and
the consequent small demand for labor in lum-
bering operations, which usually furnish large
part of the Indians employment.
The schools taught appear to have been 10 all
respects conducted to the general satisfaction of
the tribe interested in them respectively.
Olamon Island, sufficiently large to accommo-
date all the scholars in that vicinity, and has
repaired the ell of the parsonage. The crops
raised by the Indians have been rather below
the average, on account of inability to com
mence farming operations in the early spring
and lack OF sufficient manure,..by which latter
want the land is being exhausted. The physi-
cal, social and sanitary condition of the tribe
presents no material change. Their labor has
not been in great demand, and consequently
low prices have prevailed. In the sale of
baskets, toy canoes, &C., they have met with
better success, and the demand upon them for
fancy wares has called into exercise their in
ventiye faculties. The amount of the wood bill
has been very large, on account of the lack of
| wood lots and the absence of saw mills.
The agent thinks some police arrangements
should be made to prevent the disturbances at
Indian dances occasoned by liquor carried
there by the whites. r.
The agent suggests to the Legislature the pro-
prety of purchasing the old field notes OF
Lore Afford, who surveyed the islands in the
| Penobscot river, and which can be bought
probably for less than 500.
