just now we are told that experiments
have been made at Krupp's manufac-
tory Of Bredelar on certain big guns
producing big results in connection with
such big treaty as that of Berlin
Peace! Let us see what these peaceful
pets, these artillery infants can do. At
10000 yards the bail from one of these
charmers will perforate the thickest
ironclad; at 1900 yards two such shot
will disable or sink the largest ship
afloat. And every one Of these shots
cost some $3.50 in money and six min
utes in time to do its deadly and de-
structive work. Thus in II minutes and
for $500 you can destroy an ironclad
costing $1,000, 900, provided the shoot
ing il good. Include the other minor
matters, such az the death of the crew,
consisting Of GOO or 700 men. Here is
one feature following the Berlin treaty.

summer salt acts as corrective To the
laxity and tlatulence which the succu-

under the cow-shed, in which the salt
may be put, Is tho most economical way
TO feed it. A saving may be made by
pouring all of the old beef and ham

A Detroit Newspaper Mans Experience
with the yellow Fever In New Orleans
a Horrible Tale Jcstingiy Told.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-02-14

Colonel Boadinot, of the Cherokee Nation, appeared before the House Committee on Territories, Tuesday, on behalf of a bill to organize the Territory of Oklahoma. Heretofore the delegates from the civilized tribes have relied upon former reser- vation treaties, under which they claimed the use of their lands forever Colonel Boudinot met this question fully on the seventh and eight arti- cles of the treaty of lS66 with the Choctaws and Shicasaws, wherein these Indians pledged themselves to throw no obstacle in the way of es- tablishing Territorial Government [ in the Indian Nation, and agreeing to the conven- ton of Legislature, to govern both whites and Indians. It also contem- plates United States Court, dele gate to Congress, and agreess that the Superintendent of the Indian Affairs shall be the executive of the Territory.
 The Colonel argued that these ar ticIes gave express consent to the adoption of the plan proposed, and showed that the Creeks. Seminoles and Cherokees. had come into the agreement under their treaty. He showed that there were 5000 citizens of the Ueited States, who were mem hers of Indian tribes, having the same rights that Indians have, and demonstrated that there was no in- compatibility in the apparently anomalous position of these people. Then he quoted from & decision of Judge Parker, establishing the citi- zenship of the several delegates BOW in Washington, and insisted upon a similar recognition fur his people. He clalmed the benefits to be deriv ed from Territorial Government, ahd claimed that no one would be injured except the delegates, whom, he said, were sucking the life and blood of the Territory. by expending the money of the people in large salaries, the payment of expensive attorneys, and worthless local gov ernments."
 He showed that the Cherokee Ma tion alone spent on delegates in Washington for the first and second session Of the Forty fourth Congress and the extra session lone ana one half monthsl, S66.464. The Chero- kee Nation has l7,000 inhabitants, who claimed the right to protest against the wantoa expenditure Of the peoples money. He closed by profering an amendment to the bill. that it should not take effect until ratified by the Indians by fair vote sud dared the delegates who were opposing it to accept the proposition.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS OK
 CONVENTIONS.

As this is general election year and as the time is rapidly gliding by winch will bring ont perhaps more candidates for county officers than il is well to have in the race, it may be well for the voters of our county to lbegin to consider the best method of thinning down the number of aspir- Ing candidates to limit which will De consistent with the safety of elect Ing good men. It is never best to have too many candidates of one party contending for the same office, It Is calculated to create dissensions in the party. and often leads 10 the defeat of the best qualified and most trust worthy aspirants. IL is there fore desirable that some plan should oe agreed upon for determining who shall be tLe recognized party canai. dates. Tae plan of holding party dominating conventions is old and time honored. The primary election system has not been used so much in our party ss the convention sys- tenn, bnt still il is by some consider ed ss fairer and more satisfactory. So far ss we are concerned we have no preference So strong but that we are willing to yield to the wishes of the majority of our party. SOME plan should and must be agreed upon and we name it thus early only in orSier that tue voters of the party may be thinking about and exchange views So that they will be ready to agree when the proper time arrives for making nominations.

 s1fr. Ssuthartl, Chairman of the |Committee on Revisicn of. the laws Regulating the Counting of the Eiec- |tpral Votes for Pre- ideut and Vice, President has evolved q plan that we believe to be the true solution ot ! the truubious question. It has been { informally considered in the House
 branch ofthe committee and gener- ally approved. This Is the plan in
 brief: The aggregate vote of each State shall be divided by the num- ber of electors to which that State is entitled by the apportionmens. the
 number each candidate has received divided by this quotient and the qaotients thus obtained from all the States sdded, for the purpose of de
 termining which of the candidates
 has received the majority of both 1ae electoral and popular vote. Fp2 in stance. State having representa- tion of twenty five in tue Electoral College casts 500, ,0O0 votes. Divide this by twenty fve--nnmber of cleo tors--and the ggctient is 2o,000. smith, candids11 on one ticket, re- ceives of tbs rsopnlar vote BOG, 600. Divide thisgS 10000 and we have l5 as the quotient and the nunber of electoral votes to which Mir. Smith Is entitled. Mir. Brown, of the other side, has received 20o, GOO ofthe pop ular vote. Divide this in the same way and we find Mir. Brown entitled to 10 electoral votes. We have talk en even numbers for the purpose of illustration, but it will be readily perceived that by this system any candidate, however small the vote he receives. will get his exact credit in the final aggregate of fractions. This embodies the idea of minority repre- sentation in the States, gives the az gregate majority the power that, un- der our system, they exercise in ev- cry nther election except President and Vice President, and at the same time preserves the Statehood idea, and makes it move in harmony with the whole-the Nation.
 It will be remem oersd by the read CTS of the DEMOCRAT that we spoke last summer, of a book which NIT. Jones, of our county. proposed to publish entitled .The True Method of Electing the Presidentxand Vice President of the United States The book treated of the various methods of electing or choosing s President and gave a plan which the author claimed 10 be the true method of counting the electoral vote" The method he suggested was- if we re- member correctly, identlcsily the same as the enc now proposed by NIT. Southard. We expressed our belief then that Mir. Jones had found solution ofthis question which was far preferable to the present plan. and we yet believe It to be the true method.
