A Formidable Foe

Gen. Crook is not disposed to belittle
the foes whom he has been fighting since
last spring. He thinks that an Indian
warrior makes the best cavalry in
world, and he is undoubtedly right. In
his annual report he says ''When the
Sioux Indian was armed with bow and
arrow he was more formidable, fighting
as he does most of the time on horse
back, than when he got the old fashioned
muzzle- loading rife. But when he came
into possession of the breech- loader and
metallic cartridge, which allows him to
load and fire from his horse with perfect
ease, he became at once ten thousand
times more formidable. With the i'm
proved arms I have seen our friendly
Indians, riding at full speed, shoot and
kill wolf, also on the run, while it is
rare thing that our troops can hit an In
dian on horseback, though the soldier
may be on his feet at the time. The
Sioux is cavalry soldier from the time
he has intelligence enough to ride a
horse or fire gun. If he wishes to dis
mount, his hardy pony, educated by
long usage, will Craze around near where
he has been left, ready when his master
wants to mount either to move forward
or escape. Even with their lodges and
families they can move at the rate of
fifty miles per day. They are perfectly
familiar with the country, have their
spies and hunting parties out all the
time ct distances from twenty to fifty
miles each way from their villages, know
| the number and movement of all the
troops that may be operating against
them, just about what they can probably
do, and hence can choose their own
times and places of conflict or avoid it
altogether. !"

NelIia,S Love Story.

Nellie Gregg, bright little girl, aged
10 years, went into the Heratd Office and
wanted to know the price of printing a
love story. When asked to show the
story she said it was not written, but
she could tell il. The little one was
given seat and told her love story very
prettily as follows: "Now, my name is
Nellie Gregg, and [ want this put in the
Herald and sign my name to it. Now,
| went to Ell Dorado county, CAL, with
my father a year ago and showed Ed
Slater a picture of real nice girl.
Now, he fell in love with the girl and
commenced writing to her, and Thurs
day of last week he came on to Utica
and married her, and he never saw her
before, and now he promises me pres
ent and he hasn't given it to me yet.

WOOdsmen and Axes.

From an article on pineries and modes
of chopping, in the Northwestern La1'7a~
herman, we extract the following
The styles of axes differ with nation
alities. A Canadian chopper prefers
broad, square blade, with the weight
more in the blade than elsewhere, the
handles being short and thick. A down
East logger, one from Maine, selects a
long, narrow head, the blade in crescent
shape, the heaviest part in the top of
the head above the eye. New York cut
ters select a broad, crescent.shaped
blade, the whole head rather short, and
the weight balanced evenly above and
below the eye, that is, where the handle
goes through. A Western backwoods-
man selects a blade, the corners only
rounded off, and the eye holding The
weighs of the axe. The American chop
per, as a rule, selects long, straight
handle. The difference in handling is
that down Easter takes hold with both
hands of the extreme end, and throws
his blows easily and gracefully, with q
long sweep, over his shoulder. A
Canuck chops from directly over his
head, with the right hand we'll down on
the handle to serve in jerking the blade
out of the stick. A Westerner catches
hold at the end of his handle, the hands
about three inches apart, and delivers
his blows rather directly from over the
lett shoulder.
In fact, an expert in the woods can
tell the nationality or State man has
been reared in by seeing him hit one
blow with an axe. 1t is, however, an
interesting fact to know that a Yankee
chopper, with his favorite ak and
swinging cut, can, bodily strength be-
ing equal, do fifth more work in the
same tune than any other cutter, and be
far less fatigued. This in very large
degree will account for the greater per-
centage of Maine men who will befound
each year in the woods.

THE CORN CROP.
An Aggregate of 1895, 100000 Bushels
Where Tt was Raised.


The Statistician of the Department of
Agriculture, in his December report,
makes the corn crop only 2 per cent.
short of the great crop of last year, and
so per cent. greater than the crop of
1874. The aggregate, subject to posi-
sibIe future revision, is 1895, 900, 900
bushels. Less than l per cent. of the
crop is raised in New England, scarcely
6 per cent. in the Middle States, 90 in
the Southern, Al in the Ohio basin, and
20 west Of the Mississippi. The product
of the South is 10000 900 bushels
greater than that of last year !;
that of New England 100000
bushels greater, and there is less in the
Middle and Western States. The States
producing less twan in 1875 are New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, those on the
Atlantic coast from New York to North
Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. Illi-
nois is credited with nearly 25O,OOO,OO
bushels, and Iowa with 155, 1000, 900.
Next in rank are Ohio, Indiana, Mis-
souri,, and Kansas. These six States
produce six-tenths of the total product.
Tennessee, which once held the highest
rank in the country, now stands first in
the Southern States, followed by Texas,
Alabama, and Georgia. In quality the
crop is superior to its predecessor.
There has been an increase in area in
all sections, aggregating about 2,0O0,-
900 acres, the advance being very slight
in the Gulf States from Alabama to
Louisiana, and scarcely perceptible in
the Middle States. It is largest west of
the Missouri. Wisconsin shows the
heaviest rate of increase in the North
west, and Georgia in the South. The
average price of corn is highest in Mas
sachusetts, and lowest in Kansas, 95 and
% cents respectively.

In Maine and Vermont, the decisive
elections were held in September, and
the Republican vote in both States was
larger than ever before, though the
Presidential vote was not quite full. In
every other Northern State, without
exception, the Republican party polled
at the November election not only more
votes than it cast at the last Presiden-
tial election, but more than it had ever
cast before in any contest. In the ag-
gregate, the greatest number of Repub-
lican votes ever polled in the North
ern States was 2,603, AIT. But at the
late election, although several counties
are lacking In the returns above given,
tire aggregate was 2,940, 422, and the
gain over the largest vote ever cast be-
fore in each State is 337, 0O5-about Is
per cent. Uncertainty cannot be claimed
that the cry of "Tilden and Reform"
operated to weaken the Republican
party in any Northern State; if that
party lost any Of those who sustained it
during the war, or in the struggle of
1872, it gained many thousands more
than it lost. While this is the fact at
bne North, LII Is an especially important,
and to many will be very surpris-
ing fact, that in nine of the six
teen Southern States the Republi-
can party polled more votes than
ever before. Notwithstanding the ire
mendous effort of the Southern Demo
Gratis, who own large part of the prop
erty, and employ nearly all the hired
labor, to control the colored vote by all
the influences which property and intel
hgence can exert Notwithstanding the
use of violence, terrorism and assassina-
ton in few of the Southern States to
drive Republican voters from the polls,
and to overcome by arms that attach
ment of voters which threats of dis
charge from labor, and all the other in
tluences which property can WELD, had
failed to weaken ; still the number of
Republican votes was larger than ever
before in nine of the Southern States

the man whose reasoning faculties are
so warped and whose conscience is SO
dull that he does not Indignantly de
nounce the monstrous crime against
self-government which these contracts
reveal.
These three States gave Mr.. Tilden
majority of 172, At, and his popular
majority in the whole country is less
than $50, 000-ac according to the latest re-
turns 147,3S4. We congratulate him
upon majority obtained by diligent
usa of knives and revolvers, whips and
rifles. Many men would scorn to ceun-
tenance such terrible crime by claim
ing an office as its fruit. MIR. Tilden, it
seems, raises no more objection now
than he did in 1868, when the State of
New York was robbed.

That 1'ilden Majority.

Says the Chicago Tribune: A
very simple computation, which the
veriest tryo in figures cannot mis-
understand, disposes at once of the
fustian and nonsense paraded about Til
denis majoriy. To make up what arith-
meticians who clamor for post-offices or
"goah " figure out Tilden's majority on
the popular vote is wholly ignored what
in fact is the popular vote. The census
of 1870 shows what number of votes, on
the usual ratio of voters to the entire
population, which should have been cast
at Presidential election in the States
which returned the largest maiorities for
Hlden. Compared with the total vote
cast these figures are significant. They
are as follows:

What the Senate Committee Have Dis
covered-A Republican Majority of $500

New YORK, Dec. ga Times special
from Jacksonville says: "The Senate
committee continues it's inquiry into
the conduct of the election in Florida.
The members of the committee say that
the evidence already taken far more than
sustains all that has been alleged by the
Republicans concerning the frauds COM
mitted by the Democrats, and that in
stead of the Hayes majority being 1000
or thereabouts, the Republican national
and State tickets have, on a fair vote,
$500 to 5000 majority in the State.
The committee have never been wit
nesses of such an outrage perpetrated
upon people as that which has just
been committed by declaring Drew
elected Governor, when the evidence is
overwhelming that he has been beaten
by 2, 500 or 5000 votes"

Remarkable Facts Established by the

The official returns of the late cleo

Republican party was stronger at the

The peculiar tactics by which the Re-
publican vote was reduced in three
States. AS these facts are of the ut
most importance in their bearing upon
an equitable settlement of the pending
dispute, we proceed to establish them in
detail, using the latest figures pub

complete, will approximate very closely

Deficiency in the vote of these six States 248 2O4
These figures tell the whole story of
the manner in which the South was
bulldozed for Tlden. Reams of afida-
Wits will not do away with them. They
represent precisely the vote suppressed
by threats, intimidation and rife-clubs.
They show exactly how States like Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, which at fair,
free election would certainly be carried
by the Republicans, were made to return
majorities for Tilden j; how the Repubi-
can majority was reduced in Louisiana
and the Republican vote in the other
States named cut down. The 5,204
votes deficiency in the poll in
these six States should, in order
to truly foot up the popular vote,
be added to the Hayes column. The
suggestive fact is apparent upon the
face of the figures in South Carolina
what reduction besides should be made
from the vote of Tilden as figured up by
the thirsters after post-0ffces or blood.
The total vote of South Carolina in the
ratio of the full vote to the entire popu-
lation should have been 156, 801. But
the vote returned was 1872, 776-which
explains most satisfactorily how the
Democratic majority in Edgefeld and
Laurens counties exceeded the whole
number of voters in those counties.
The figures from these seven States
alone show that the whole of the major
ity on the popular vote claimed for
Tilden was the result of bulldozing and

tain counties of Florida and South Caro-
lima, thousands of Republicans were
kept from the polls by force Or terror,
and the Democratic efforts would have
been completely successful in these
States had not Republican local govern
ments, controlling the machinery of
elections, given encouragement to the
voters, and assured them of support by

In seven Southern States the Repub-
lican party lost votes, although it polled
more votes than ever before in the
other Southern Stares, and in all the
Northern States. But the loss of 5 per
cent. of it's total vote in Delaware, s.
per cent. la Virginia, and 5 per cent. in
Arkansas is not so large as to compel a
conclusion that the vote was not free.
Even In Texas, where it lost Is per
cent. of it's total vote, that conclusion
is hot quite irresistible. But is there
a single honest man in this country
who will pretend that 27 per cent.
of the entire Republican vote in
Alabama, 81 per cent. in Mississippi,
and Al per cent. in Georgia failed to
vote or voted the Democratic ticket vol
unfairly? Is there sane man who be-
ieves that in those States, and not a,ay-
where else, Republican voters by the
thousand became anxious for reform ?
Is there decent man who will pretend
that all the natural influence of property
and intelligence employed in vain else
where, caused this revolution? All man
ner of argument failed in every North
ern State; the Republicans gained more
votes than they lost. Argument, per-
suasion, wheedling, and even coercion
failed in nearly all the Southern States;
the Republicans either pelled more votes
than ever before or nearly as many. But
