though the subcommittee will not be able
for some time to report, a general discussion
was INDUCED in, which revealed the fact
that at the present moment the mojority Of
the committee are favorably inclined to, a
system Of popular voting and the abolition
of the electoral college. The objection made
against this method is that it would work
disadvantageously to the smaller states.

Representative Wright, of Pennsylvania,
has introduced into the house a bill which
provides for a loan Of $500 to every actual
homestead settler, the government to be Sc.
cured by a mortgage upon the land taken
as a homestead. MIR. Wright was before
the house committee on public lands last
Saturday, and made an extensive argument
in support of this measure, urging its adop-
ton on the ground that the mere acquis:-
ton of the landlsby a settler, without his
having the means.to cultivate, was but a bar
rem gift. His address was closely listened
to by labor delegations from Ohio and
Pennsylvania, who manifested much inter.
est in the subject. These delegations rep
resented an element Of the eastern popula-
tion which is seeking an escape from the
miseries of THAR present poverty stricken
condition. They desire to occupy the free
lands Of the west, and there build for them.
selves permanent homes. Any aid which
the general government can extend to this
class of industrious men and women will
be bread cast upon the waters which will
surely return to enrich the Golfers of the
nation. Thousands of poor people would
occupy and cultivate homesteads in the ter
ritories had they the means for reaching
them and for entering upon agricultural op-
eratiOns,

The signs of the times all point to a gen.
eral Indian war in the spring and unless
they fail the most extensive hostile uprising
which the west has known for years will
occur with the return Of the grass season.
Reports regarding Sitting Bulls where
abouts are uncertain, but 1t makes no differ
enc now whether he is located north or
south of the British line. The time for
action has not arrived, but the murderous
bands are now gathering in 1.-THE immediate
neighborhood of the unconquerable chief:
tain where they can be utilized when the
suspicious moment arrives. Late in the
fall large numbers of uneasy Indians broke
loose from Spotted TAil;s and Red Clouds
bands, passed northward across the various
lines of travel from the Missouri river to the
Black Hills and are now in camp near the
Canada border. On the way they gathered
numerous recruits from the camps of govern
ment ration eaters. Sitting Bulbs
original force was augmented just previous
to this movement by a portion of Chief
Joseph's band and the combined Indian
forces above given are sufficient to keep
busy for an entire season the handful of
military assigned to the protection Of the
frontier. From our correspondent who is
now in the upper country we learn that
eight hundred Indians have recently broken
away from the Red Cloud agency and are
pursuing q northward course. He also
writesthat there are strong indications that
the entire fighting outfit at Red Cloud il
making preparations to leave the agency
and that Spotted Tails braves are buying
up fat ponies and INDUCING in other suspi-
cious movements. With these forces in the
field the army would be without p6wer to
assume the offensive and exceedingly weak
for defensive work. The outlook is certainly
not a pleasant one, and if the government
fails to be forewarned sufficiently to adopt
ample means for the protection Of the from
tier there is a probability that serious re-
suits may follow.
