lShtScSc JOuTldl --.l
a foolhsrdy adventurer named H. p.
Pera made dangerous leap from the sus.
pension bridge at Niagara Falls, yesterday,
into the river below-l92 feet-and escaped
with his life. HIS dress consisted of merino
hose and full suit of tights. An irf .ted
lie preservsr, funnel-shaped of his own de-
sign and construction, covered his hips and
extended to his armpits. Cotton cloth was
lightly banded about the life preserver and
about the hips and loins and a large, soft
sponge protected his mouth and nos:rils.
III. ears were stuffed with sponges slightly
molstened with spirits, and his thighs and
feet were firmly held by elastic straps.
over his shoulders was strong leather
brace, TO the center of which was attached
sn iron ring OF good size and strength.
FIRMLY riveted TO the ring was nineteen
leet OF siXstrsnd brass wire cable, the
whole being wound up on a cylinder
arranged to unwind as he descended to
the water, serving to keep him in an up
right position, but not TO retsrd his speed.
The descent occupied FIVE seconds. The
jumper is Canadian, and sailor by occu-
patton. He is five feet seven inches tall,
weighs l42 pounds, ard is 81 wears of age.
Pera will repeat his blood -curdling feat at
the same place the coming Fourth of
July.

Iilt Reynolds ON the Indian Terri.
tory Raid.

New York Tribune, 221
Nj. NJ W. Reynolds, of Parsons, Kan
sends to the Tribune an exhaustive paper
on matters pertaining to the Indian Terri
tory. He argues the case very forci6ly and
fairly for the trespassers upon the Terri
tory. He is undoubtedly in error when he
ssys that the title of the civilized Indians
in the Territory to their lands is simply a
right of occupancy. That is the character
OF the title of Iadians elsewhere to the
lands on which they live, but the tribes in
the Indian Territory received a patent
from the United States for their lands,
while grass grows and water runs" as long
as the tribes exist. Now, while il may be
very easy to demonstrate thst it would be
better both tor the Indians and
the white people to have this patent can
celled and some new disposition made O
the lands, Cong ess certainly has no right
to do such thing against the protest of the
Indian owners. 1t would no doubt be bet
ter for many western communities If cer-
tain farms held by shifiless and unenter-
prising white people could be taken away
from them and sold TO persons who would
improve them, but no one would admit
that the Government had any right to step
in aud change the contract made with the
settler in the issue of his patent without
his consent. But that is Just what the
people who advocate the Oklahoma bill
propose TO DO, and very many
people who think it would be a wise
policy fail to remember that the
civilized tribes OF the Indian Territory hold
their lands by precisely the came kind of
title as white settlers in the Western
States have. 1t is question yet to be set
tied whether the Government has a right,
under the terms OF the treaties of 1866, to
open these lands to white settlement at all
or not. Mr.. Reynolds urges tina. the civil
Gzed tribes have not protested against the
settlement OF white people in the Territory,
and that they have protested against send
ing Indians there. He is mistaken. The
accredited representative of every civilized
tribe which has delegate in Washington
has made repeated formal protests, and it
was at their instance that the Presidents
proclamation was issued. The treaties of
1866 stipulated tha. these lands should
be coloniz5d by friendly Indians and freed
men. The civilized tribes have protested
agsinst settling there hostile savages They
did not sell the lsrds for any such pur-
pose. Whatever may be the ultimate 60
luton Of this question, the Government
should secure the free consent of the civil
lizsd Indians who own the land, ard the
country ought TO understa and perfectly what
the Government oblig stions to the corpo- |
rstions to which it has made contingent
grants OF land will be when the present In
dian title is e1tinguished or exchanged for
another.

Legislation VIII ROT He, Them

A curious call for prot, c.ion is made bv
New York paper, on behalf Of the farmers
OF the seaboa!d States The complaint ia
that the railroads discriminate in frejebts
SO heavily in favor OF the West that the
Eastern people are compelled to contine
themselves almost exclusively to dairy
farming and market gardening. "The
eastern farmers" it is said instead of be.
ing permitted to enjoy the advantage OF
their contiguity 10 the New York market.
have been taxed 10 make up the
deficiency Of charges for bringing
for@srd Western crops" The remedy
suggested is legislation in the nature
OF the granger lsws' whi,h raised
such a tremendous disturbance and
wrought 20 little good in the west. a few
years ago. 1t Is to be feared that the
trouble with the eastern farme ia not to
be cured by be it enacted" Ii lies in
Their iarms, which require costly tillaee,
and, from naturally sterile or vorn-out
soil. produce but poor crops. The western
prairies yield more generously and with
comparatively li:tle labor, and their pro.
ducts are, therefore, sold in the seaboard
cities at prices which would not compen.
safe eastern farmers for their toll. Defects

any laws the eastern grangers can enact.
