On General Crooks return to Omaha last
week from visit to the Bannock Indians,
he told the Herald, with great earnestness,
that "hunger-nothing but hunger drove
forth the few men of the tribe who had gone
on the war-path. There were not over one
hundred and fifty Bannocks and Shoshones
who had left the reservation, where some
one thousand and five hundred still abode
and starved General Crook said there was
incontestable proof that Indians have starved
to death on their reservations within the
past few years that he had known of squaws
being ridden down, lassoed and outraged,
when if an Indian had interfered he would
have been shot that no white man was ever
punished or even convicted for crime com
mitted against an Indian. And it is Gen
eral Crooks opinion that it is too much to
ask man to suffer starvation when he can
fight for his life. lie repeated his conviction
that if the Indians should be treated honestly
and given a fair chance, they would al
gladly abandon the old life which the en-
croaching settlements and the disappearance
of game have rendered impossible, and turI
farmers. The Bannocks, he says, have don't
their best to cultivate the soil, and the In
dams under Spotted Tail and Red ClouC
are anxious to become self-sustaining, anC
would do it in four or five years if they haC
proper assistance. This is the testimony o
the famous Indian fighter, and can't b.
sneered down as cheap sentiment,

prise at the air of cultivation and courtesy
that pervaded the great Republican gather
ings lately held there. alt is hard to be-
lieve," he says, "that the men you see
around you might be the fiery leaders of
some future revolution. | cannot
understand how Americans can come here
by the thousand and go away pronouncing
the French merely frivolous and this be-
cause their visitors are interested only in
their frivolities. To me there is no specta-
Gle in the world more interesting than that
of the French Republicans during the last
five years, sustaining their young republic
by sheer patience and self-contro, with
little sympathy or encouragement from the
world outside, and with the clergy and the
legitimists and the Orleansts and the I'm
perialists all seeking an excuse for bringing
back chaos. Any nation can show courage
against an invading enemy but when its
foes are they of its own household, and
when its greatest foe is its own volatile
temperament the resistance has in it some
thing of the sublime"

GAYsvILLE.-A son of j. Dalton, living on South
Hill, recently killed striped snake three feet and
eight inches long and five inches around, and on
opening it found seventy-nne young snakes of
about six inches in length, Miss Mary Barnes,
while attempting to turn her team in front of the
Greenbank factory, backed off the embankment
and was precipitated to the bottom-a height of
twenty feet or more. Miss Barnes had two chill
dren in the wagon, who escaped unhurt, but she
was considerably bruised and suffered severe
nervous shock, but is doing well The wagon and
horse were but slightly damaged most mirac-
ulous escape, which is hoped will prove warning
TO our town authority. Farmers in this vicinity
are somewhat exercised about white grubs that
are destroying grass roots in great quantities,
forty-fonr having been found within radius OF
fifteen inches Corn in some places is damaged
to considerable extent by them.

VINO is RESPONSIBLE ?-We fully agree
with the Orange Jownal-as we do in most
things-that the course of the President
towards the South is in no wise discredted
by the ill-behavor of the Southern Bourbons.
1t is not the Presidents fault that they do
not respond in good faith to his efforts to
make peace on grounds of justice between
the North and the South, nor is he any the
less worthy of applause on account of any
thing that they have done or failed to do
His action only serves to put their ohstinacy
and ingratitude in a stronger light. More
over, it is only fair to say that the opposi
ton of Republicans to the Presidents course
has furnished plausible excuse to the
Southern Bourbons for refusing to yield
much to his individual justice and kindness
If the Republican party had rallied unitedly
around the President, there would before
this have been a strong anti-Bourbon party
at the South. The strength of the Bourbon'
is largely derived from the fact that the Re
publican party has shown so much reluctance
TO recognize the new era and so much per
| tinacity in adhering to "bloody shirt
methods.

MIR. rYLER's SPEECH.

Mr., president and Gentlemen Of TIE Culren-
ton come before you to thank you for this
high honor which you have bestowed upon me
this day; an honor however, which has been by
me uusought and entirely unexpected. have at
times, as it has doubtless been the fortune of
many in this district, been approached by partial
friends and told that they would like to suggest
my name for some office. But II has always
seemed to me that the pursuit of my chosen pro-
fession, the comforts of,my own home, were more
desirable than public life in the present troub-
lous times, where national affairs are so doubtful
and uncertain, and public life in which young
men and untried men unable to distinguish
themselves in the short term which is usually al
otted to them | came to this convention to-day
as a Wiudham county delegate from the town of
Brattleboro, hoping that Wndham county might
unite upon some man, to present to this Csnyen-
ton as its candidate. In the meeting OF the
Windham county delegation it was found that
none of the gentlemen whose names had been
previously discussed could secure the support of the
whole delegation. In an unfortunate moment,
or Fortunate as the case may be- 1t was discovered
that they could unite upon me- and my name was
presented to this convention, OF course, gentle
men, after the very ilattering and unanimous
vote have received here to-day cannot decline
the nomination. aud | can only stand before you
and thank you for it, And II 1t should be the
pleasure of the voters of the district that should
be elected and should be enabled to take my seat
in Congress, | cannot but look forward to that
event with great anxiety for the reason that the
pectations of the people in relation to their
representative are generally higher than can be
realized. You must remember that our party,
which bears the proud title of the Republican
party ia now in minority in Congress Young
men and new men are not able at once to make

is that the late defeated candidate for the Pres-
dency shall be elected to the United States Sem
ate by the legislature of New York which meets
this fall. 1t is stated by good authority that
Tildens emissaries are buster than ever in fixing
matters so that should the legislature prove to be
democratic which they are wildly hoping will be
the case, that their worthy chief shall be elected
to the Senate to succeed Conkling
There are other democratic schemes on foot
which are not as yet developed sufficiently to
admit of publication. That the party leaders will
leave no stone unturned to grasp the reins of
government two years hence the country may be
assured and be warned in time.

From foreign journals we learn that

Chinese difficult in a more aggravated
form than it has yet reached In this
country The employment of Chinese sail
ors at Sydney has brought about strike
among the European tars. Many of the
Chinese are excellent sailors and have
been largely employed in the British
vessels engaged in the Eastern trade.
No opposition TO this has been devel-
oped, but in Australia the matter is differ

been raised by the working classes of the
colonies. The emigration from China is

must have the other result in the South.
As another illustration Of the inequality
of representation, he cited Indiana, where
with a Democratic plurality of over
5 600 in 1876, the democrats were only
able to send four members to Congress,
as against nine republicans or, in other
words, it took 1921 democrats to send
a member to Congress while it only took
%, 120 republicans to send republican
member. In New England the figures
show that 1891 votes can elect a r =
publican of Congress while 1t requires
1921 vo'es to elect democrat. In the
Senate the inequality of New England
representation is even worse, for upon
the basis of the vote of 1876, it only re-
qures 36,721 votes TO elect repub lean
Senator. while it takes lat, 1903 les to
elect democrat. In the six great mid
die States-New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa-the re-
publican in 1876 cast a total vote OF L.
S42,212 and the democrats total OF J.,
s04, ,34l, a majority of less than 10000 for
the republicans, and yet in these States
the republicans have ''seized" seventy-fve
Congressional districts and the democi "a
cy hold but forty-six. To be more def
mite, the republicans, with voting ma
jorlty of only 1851 in these six States
have "seized" majority of twenty-nine
Congressman. Add to these States New
England, and 1t is found that 2,209, ,43l
republican voters get ninety-seven Con-
gressmen, and 2,100,26S democratic vot-
ers get fifty-two, or an aggregate MAORI
ty Of 100, 1853 gives the republicans ma
jority of forty-five congressman. Or,
again, it will be found that in these
twelve States 22,777 republicans can
elect a Congressman, but it requires 49,
672 democrats to do the same thing.
These figures speak for themselves, and
make very had ''pis" of Mr. Blaine's ar
gument.
