The ute AFFAIR.

Secretary Schurz, in recent inter-
view, expressed the belief that the Ute
outbreak was not due to any bad faith
on the part of the Indian Agent, Mr..
Mceker, but to the persistent eucroach
ment of the white settlers in Colorado
on the reservation Of these Indians.
Admitting that the Agent is honest
and that the indians have been treated
we'll by the Indian Bureau-which
would be a wonderful state of affairs
it is obvious that blame can not be
attached to the Indians, who are known
to be the most peaeeable of all the
tribes. The entertainments of settlers
upen their reservation, which, by the
terms of their treaties with the United
States, is positively inviolaie, as it
ought to be, is something which the
Government is bound to prevent and
which it should certainly have pre-
vented.

a Lady and "a Horse im wei.

Marin County (Col) journal
Mrs Coffee. living on Z street, in
oae of the higgins houses, returned
from a horseback ride the other morn
ing, and refined her steed into the
gateway of her house The horse had
made but two or three steps inside the
gate, when be and his rider suddenly
disappeared, apparently going down
into the ground. Mrs. Coffee found
herself in several feet of water, in a
we'll, the bottom Of which was about
ten feet from the surface aud her horses
heels just above her. 1t was situa-
ton to strain the stoutest nerve. For
tunately, help was quickly at hand
Mr.. Coffee was near, and Rev. "
Nixon, passing at the moment, raised
the lady out. His first thought was to
get the horse out first, but fearing it
might struggle and injure the lady, he
changed his mind 1t was lucky, for
the animal kicked furiously as soon as
efforts we're made to release him Both
the lady and horse were taken from the
we'll without serious injury to either,
It appears that when the well was
abandoned it was partially filed with
rubbish, which sustained top dress>
ing of dirt, and this in time took the
appearance of solid ground.

We have always had an abiding faith

Whatever else may be claimed as
the cause Of the present improvement
in the financial condition of this counA
try, it cannot be denied that the old
World has had great deal to DO with
it. The failure of crops in Europe.
and the disturbed condition of some
of the European and Asiatic countries,
has been the means of creating a larger
demand for our various articles Of ex.
port than we have had for many years.
The significant fact that our exports
now exceed our imports as three to
one, is the true secret Of our success.

If is Profitable.

Some of our farmers, climate to the
contrary Notwithstanding, find cotton
culture the most profitable crop they
can grow, all things considered. Thi.
is especially true of the small farmers
living some distance from railroad or
river. They can haul a bale of cotton
TO market at less cost and to greater
advantage Than corn or wheat. And
then, again, poor man with a house
fulkof children can utilize the labor of
his children in cotton crop, whereas,
it is no help in the corn or wheat field
These twON considerations give a great
advantage ~ the raising of cotton.
This class of farmers, after planting
enough graiu forHheir home use, ough,
to devote all surplus ground and time
to cotton. Those who are doing so arc
thriving, while those WHO are similarly
situated, who are not Rising cotton
but grain exclusively, are not thriving.

The Tramp Law IA, Connect


The tramp law in Connecticut.
There are now in Jail at New Haven
only $50 prisoners, against $50 at the
same time last year Sheriff Byxbee
says this marked decrease in the mum
Der of prisoners is due to the fact that
the tramp law has driven out of the
State large number of people who
were formerly regular visitaDts at the
Jail. There are now very few commit
ments from the smaller towns in the
country, which is also due to the tramp
law, as in times gone by nearly all
of the commitments have been from
the class known as tramps. The
month before the law went into force
the tramps would all ask, as they left
the Jail, which was the best way to get
out Of the State and across the line to
New York. When informed they
invariably started in that direc-
ton.
