Some Curious Results Of Our Indian
PODiCV.

The recent dispatch which gave Information
that a band Of forty Kiowas having left their
reservation, killed Texan ami tnen returheu,
Is the latest, though, doubtless, not Tue last
chapter in a story which Is interesting In lCSeI
and donbly interesting as showing some curious
results of our Indian policy. In the autumn
months or last year II was found that the
Ktoyyas and CamancheS near Fort Sill needed
food i'm addition TO the Inadequate subsistence
provided for their support. In ufficielt appro-
prfatfon by Congress is consequently the head
ing of the first chapter, for it does not appear
that the agent in this case SQuandered the sup
ollie provided To obtain fool. hunting par
ties were organized Detachment5 of troops
from Fort Sill and Fort Reno accompanied them
to prevent collisions with the whites. The
hunt was unsuccessful The Indians collect on
the border of Texas, the buffalo being across
the line They are without food and so far
from the agency that relief cannot reach
them in time TO prevent starvation. They
are in the midst Of vast herds Of cat
tie; but the military are prohibited by
law from either issuing any military supplies
to Indians or from contracting any liabilities
through the purchase Of cattle even to save
human life; and If the Indians themselves
should dare to touch the herds, hostlitie5
would follow along the whole border. The Kto-
was, thus tortured with the pangs of Tautalus,
did not cease to be patient or forbearing. Even
the cattle herders praise their conduct. To
prevent the death Of the Indians by starvation,
they were permitted to cross into a wild
unsettled portion of Texas. accompanied by
the military, In pursuit of the buffalo.
1t is wise rule that the Indians should not be
allowed to leave their reservations, but this
was case In which its violation was not only
Bzcusable but unavoidable. When the Indians
and troops had crossed, a small party was.sud-
denly attacked by detachment of Texas mill
Tia and one OF the K1owas was killed. This
action is generally conceded to have been an
unproyoked and ineXcuSable murder When
the kiowas finally got back to their reser-
walton they had molested neither life nor
property; they had not done but had suf-
fered all the injury. They believed that
the murderer OF one of their number
would be punished. But time passed, and the
State OF Texas took no steps to arrest the MUIR
derer. Then forty Kiowas crossed into Texas.
and, meeting three whites, permitted two TO
escape, killed the other, life for q ltfe and
then returned to their reservation. The short
sightednesS of congress. military red tape and
the unreasoning and ungovernable hostility OF
surrounding whites have contributed to bring
the Kiowas at one time to the last stages OF
want and suffering, to make of no value their
1ofbearance and the precautions of their friends
to cause the death of an unoffendlng Indian and
an unonendtng white mainland the story Is
not ended

1t results from recent statistical tables
that out of 10000 inhabitants above fif-
teen years of age are married: In Hun
gary, 6,475; in France, 1856; in England
and Wales, 5,398; in Austria, 5,27l in
Italy, 5,270; in Denmark, 5,l9l; in Ger
many, 5,107; in Norway ,5,O65; in Sweden,
1852; in the Netherlands, 1910; in Scot
land, 4,G78; in Belgium, 1854, in Switz-
erland, 1852; in Ireland, 4,313. 1t must
however, be borne in mind here that the
age at which marriages are contracted
varies very much in different countries.
In Germany more marriages are con-
tractcd in the east and north than in the
south and west The little State OF
Schwartzburg- -Sonderhausen, in Thurin-
gia, has the largest number of married
inhabitants, and the lowest number of
marriages are made in Bavaria and along
the western frontier of the German EN-
pire.

A CANNON LOADED WITH GRIEF.

Mr.. George Reynolds, OF Salt Lake
City, Mormon by profession and polyg-
amous practitioner by confession, is just
now in an unpleasant predicament He
has been convicted of polygamy under
the act of Congress of July 1st, 1872.
Great efforts are being made to save him
from imprisonment. The Presidential
clemency has been appealed to, but the
symptoms are that the appeal will be in
vain. Mr. Cannon, the Territorial Dele
gate from Utah, has written letter to
the President begging for executive elem
ency on the ground that Mr. Reynolds,
so far from contesting the case, on trial
furnished the prosecution with all the
necessary facts to bring the case within
the statute of 1872. The object was to
test the constitutionality of the act of
Congress. Mr.. Cannon says in his letter
that the Grand Jury proposed to him to
a test case, and that the proposition secure
struck him favorably "as calculated to
lead to a better understanding of the
yexed question both in Utah and at
Washington"
Several parties were named and at last
one, Mr.. Masser, learning that vic
tim was wanted, offered himself for the
purpose, Mr.. Masser had been married
three times, but as it happened that he
had had only two wives on hand at any
one time, Mr.. Cannon was afraid that
Mr.. Masser was not enough married at
any one time to make a good test case
that would cover the whole ground. So
Masser was dropped by his Mormon
friends as not fit candidate for the Of
fee of defendant in the Criminal Court.
Mr.. Cannon pursued his inquiry after a
person who came fairly and squarely
within the scope of the law, and Mr.
Reynolds was selected. lie was notified
of the high honor intended him. Mr..
Cannon says he used his influence with
him to win his consent to be prosecuted
as polygamist.
Mr. r. readily consented and furnished
to the Grand Jury the names Of witnesses
to his first marriage, and upon their tes-
timony he WAS indicted, and subsequent
ly convicted.
The case was made 4 test case in the
fullest sense. 1t was taken to the Su-
prcme Court of the United States by the
defendants attorneys, and q few weeks
since that high tribunal pronounced for
the constitutionality of the law under
which Reynolds stands convicted Thus
it will be seen that Delegate Cannon has
placed his friends of many years stand
ing in very bad box.
He must serve a term in prison unless
pardoncd by the President Mr.. Can
non finds himself in almost as bad box,
as the betrayer of his friend, and he
wants to know now Of Mr. Hayes how he
can look his friends friends and his
friends wives and little children in the
face. Cannon thinks now he went off too
hastily when he made himself so Jealous
in hunting up victim for test ease,
and that if the sentence of the law be
executed he shall deplorc through life
his agency in bestowing the honor of
martyrdom upon Mr.. Reynolds, and per-
haps he ought to.

The Stomach Can Not BE Frightened

With greater trash than a violent drastic
purgative True, such medicine relieves
constipation for the time but at the ex-
pense of great injury to the intestinal canal,
which it both inhames and weakens, thus
uniting it for the performance of its proper
functions. Widely different is the action
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tonic
aperient which produces effects prompt
indeed, but never violent and conyulsing.
The purity of lis botanic ingredients, its
unobjectionable favor, its genial influence
upon the mind and the thoroughness of its
remedial action in cases of constipation,
liver complaint and dyspepsia, combine to
render it n most desirable family specific.
1t increases both physical vigor and sub
stance, tranquilizes and inyigorates the
nervous system, and gives an unwonted
relish for the food. A wineglass three
times daily is about the average dose.
