A Ute CHIEF. EIOquenee.

Laramie Zines.
Warriors, l have called you around
the council FIRE to talk with you. We
are not a great nation. The bones of
our people are bleaching in the home
of the pale face. We are not numer-
GUS. The light air and the fre-water
of the white man have yielded a big
crop of copper colored "stiffs." l call
to my people, and the echo of my
voice alone comes back to me from the
hills. Some are in the happy hunting
grounds. Others are in Leadville.
We are becoming more and more sell

have disappeared before the pale face.
Grass Is growing in the warpath. The
white man took away our lands and
built narrow gauge railroads over
them. My people are few. / shout
and their voices come back to me in
the wailing winds. Our camp fires
have gone out, and we are compelled
to use the base burner of the pale
face. The jerked buffalo of our faith
ers has disappeared and the white
mans porter-house steak and ierked
pancakes are given US to keep away
starvation. These are our wrongs
We have called on the great father at
Washington for redress, and he told
us to brace up" Are those the
words of kind father TO his children?
We asked again, and he told us to
cheese it. Is that the talk of a
great chief? Nol We are dropping
off like autumn leaves. The toes of

Where once our warriors were as the
sands Of the sea, now, there is not a
corpoal's guard. There are not enough
to make a pie. The Great Spirit does
not like this. He has intimated as
much to me. He loves his red chill
dren, and will not allow the pale face
to get the bulge on them. The buff
falo, the elk and the antelope belong
to the red man. The Texas COW and
the veal-eutlet belong to the pale

A WASHINGTON dispatch to the
Cincinnati Commercial says: "The
postofice department has made de
cision, which has been adopted by the
postmaster general and will be en-
forced, prohibiting the mailing of let
ters to lottery companies or their
agents also forbidding the sending Of
money to lottery companies by postal
order or registered letter. This de-
cision has created good deal of indig-
nation among lottery agents here, and
they say it cannot stand. 1t is said
that lottery agents will take the case
to the courts and maintain their right
to the use of the mails. The authori-
ties base their decision upon the pos.
tai laws and regulations of 1879, which
forbid the use of the mails to swindle
the public, and they claim that lot
teries come under this head"

disease. Last year many hundreds Of
Memphians took the yellow fever after
they left here. Some recovered, some
died; but none of them gave the fever
to anybody else. These are facts
which cannot be disputed. The few
thousand whites who remain here
have thus far saved the city from rob-
berry and pillage, if not from total de-
struction. We feel that we have some
rights still and are determined to as
sert them as far as the law will per-
NIT. We remember that the few cases
Of yellow fever in Chattanooga last
year caused not only a lively stam-
pede, but vigorous appeal for help
which was extended. The people,
however, were not stigmatized as beg
gars, nor were they quarantined by a
wall Of FIRE within the city. Those
who are so ready and anxious to lay
down rules for Memphis should be
willing to abide by the same under
similar circumstances. 1t is not be-
yond the range of possibility that a
plague Of some sort may visit Chatta
nooga, Nashvilleand other cities within
the present century, ,leaEing Memphis as
free as Grenada is this year. In such
an event, which we hope and pray
may never occur, Memphis would, We
believe, remember only the kindnesses
of the past and be ready to aid rather
than destroy her distressed fellow.
men. But as for such slanderous and
infamous attacks as the one copied
from the Chattanooga Times, express
ing of course only the wish Of one
venomOus heart and not the senti.
ments of the true people of Chatta-
nooga, we repel them with the con.
tempt and scorn they deserve. Nc
brave man with a particle of decency
or humanity would so slander anG
villify by wholesale people in oul
condition.

NIaIRria Fever.

New York Sun
We are sCrry to learn that the
eloquent and renowned Republican
leader and orator, the Hon. Roscoe
Conkling, is laid low with malaria
fever.
We never heard before that this
fever prevailed at Canonchet, although
we have heard of persons being sud-
denly seized with the shakes there.
Perhaps the diagnosis has not been
thorough and correct, and it may be
some other ailment.
Mr.. Conkling must have a strong
desire to speak for Mr.. Cornell. even
if he has no heart for anything else.
There can be no doubt about that
and no man in this country is better
qualified than the eloquent senator to
portray the horrors of the shotgun
policy"

That Fodder Corn.

Perhaps others have made the same
mistake we have in the planting of fodder
corn, in not putting in a piece early
enough to have it come to full growth as
soon as it is needed 10 feed. The fact has
been that we have needed our fodder corn
in July and August as much or more than
at any other time later. and it is also u
fact that by not having planted early
enough we have lacked it at such time,
and the flow of milk has been lessened
from that lack-which flow it is very hard
if not impossible to get up again to the
previous yield. We shall this year put in
one piece of fodder corn as soon as we do
our field corn-as soon as we judge the
frosts will be out of the way and do it no
damage, and other pieces will follow in
due time.
The more we have used fodder corn. the
more it has grown in favor with us, and
the longer we have planted it the more
room we have given it. till now we plant
it Ohe Sanford) In rows three feet apart,
and one kernel every foot in the row. The
yield will be great, the stalks of good
color, sweet. and the butts are eaten en-
tirely. leaving no waste. Put in little
more fodder corn, and one piece extra early

We have b fore now exhortel our
readers to follow the praise-worthy exam
pie of the husbandman in The Scriptures
who sowed good seed in his field" and
we believe one very potent cause of crops
running out as they do on some farms,
is the sowing of poor seed, for just as
certain as crops run out on some farms, it
is just as sure that they improve on
others. and that improvement is found on
the farms of those who take the greatest
care in the selection and preparation of
their seed, as well rs the growing crops.
While the selection has not been matter
of much difficulty in corn and potatoes, it
has been in sowed crops, in which the
large grains have been sowed with the
small, the shrunken, immature, imperfect
kernels scattered with those which were
plump, mature, perfect-bccause it has
been so much trouble to separate them.
We have had this matter called freshly
to mind by seeing tanning mill which,
in addition to the common work done by
such mill, does very perfectly the work
of separating such grains, putting into
different places wheat, rye, oats, cookie,
clover and herds grass. This one we saw
was called the Bonanza tanning mill and
worked well and rapidly, and looks to be
durable. 1t has an improvement in the
fan which gives the blast equally across the
selves, instead of concentrating it at the
centre. We think the agents could double
their sales by lowering their prices.
