General Harvey has been quoted
as the author of q computation that
every Indian warrior killed costs
the United States one soldier, one
horse and five thousand dollars in
money, and this arithmetical view
seems to have been borne out at
Goose Greek. The last report Of
Interior Department estimated the
Sioux nation ct forty three thousand
souls; Of these, certainly nine thOus-
and may be taken AZ fighting men,
and in the event Of q general war,
which, if successful, means almost
determination, its close will find the
country (by General Harneys ready
reckoner) burdeped with forty-live
million dollars additional debt and
thirty four thousand old Indian
women and children to be support
ed or to be left to die Of starvation

Hayes, the Republican candi-
date for President, is Governor
Of Ohio. He was elected on a
popular theory against a very
unpopular platform, yet he bare
ly escaped defeat-receiving but
5000 majority in a State which
gave in 1860 a Republican ma
jority of 81 900; in 1861 of 81, 900;
in 1853 of 1O1, 900; in 1864 of co.
600; in 1868 of $4,000, and in
1872 Of $4,000. Yet this man,
who we are assured is such a
popular candidate, could only
carry the State when he had but
a rag-baby for an opponent by
5000 majority. Such popular
ity will hardly carry Mr.. Hayes
to the White House.

The Local Paper.
From the Los Angeles HERALD

From the Los Angeles Herald.l
A late number of the San Fran.
cisco Chronical has q truthful and
sensible article on the value of news
papers to the locality In which they
are publislled-which is worthy Of
perusal by the residents of every
town and village on the Pacific
coast. The local journal is in truth
the representative at large of its To-
cality. The reader intuitlvely and
almost without q consciousness that
he is doing 50, forms q notion of
the size Of a place and its business
actively from q glance at the col.
umns Of its local Journal. Nothing
so thoroughly pictures the dullness,
enterprise, prosperity or decline of
a town as the columns Of its papers
There may not be q word said of q
decline in business and a deprecia-
ton in the value of property, but
the fact is as apparent to the reader
as if printed in four line plea at the
head of every column. IF the paper
is published in q thriving place with
. promising future the wef1 filed
advertising columns and the CHEEKY
confident tone of the articles; the
clearly defined business competi-
ton and the lively and varied locals,
impress the reader, though q thOus-
and miles away, with as complete q
statement of the facts as If he were
present seeing with his own eyes
and hearing with his own ears. The
local newspaper is a power to in
duce people to visit or avoid a place.
Some years ago stranger in San
Francisco was seeking information
relative to interior towns in some
one of which he proposed to locate.
Visalia was suggested and he said
s'let me see a newspaper published
there and I will decide.n A copy
Of one Of Visalia's papers was hand
ed to him and after running his
eyes over its advertising columns,
he said that is q thriving town and
I will visit it. He is now a promi-
nent citizen or Tulare county, and
his influence has brought hundreds
of people and thousands of dollars
to the locality he selected as his
home through the favorable report
cleaned from the advertising col
umns ofits newspaper. b
