The Yakima Record asserts that not
one tenth of the land on the Yakima
reservation is put under cultivation,
and the most of it is devoted to pas
turage. 1--WE know that we are speak
ing in bounds of truth when we state
that, within the limits Of the Yakima
reservation there is room for 5000
farms Of 1850 acres each. OF what
good to civilization all this immense
body Of fine land under the present
condition Of atiarsl The Indians do
not cultivate to any extent, nor are
the whites permitted to do 50. Ma
turr intended this great valley as the
home of the industrious husbandmen,
and not the range and hunting ground
Of the savage. Here may be raised
millions Of bushels of grain for Eu,
ropes starving poor, but for the far
c'al policy Of our government in re-
serving the fairest portion Of our fair
land for the use of a race who will
never derive profit therefron, and who
are on y an obstacle in the path Of
civilization. Send them all to Moses.
Not one two thousandth part of the

he Honorable.

xU1sys and young men sometimes
start out into life with the idea that
ones success depends on sharpness and
chicanery. They imagine if one is able
always to get the best of bargain,
no matter by what deceit and mean
ness no carries his point, that his pros
perity is assured. Tnis is great mis-
take. Enduring prosperity cannot be
founded on cunning and dishonesty.
The tricky and deceitful man is sure
to fall aSviciim, sooner or later, to the
influences which are forever working
against him. His house is built upon
the sand, and its foundation will be
feKtaina to- give way. Young people
6dfnot give these truths too much
weight. The future of that young
man is safe who eschews every shape
of double dealing, and lays the foun-
dh1)qA u his career in the enduring
Il ~ plH Of everlasting truth. En-.

The HE and CRY Of Envy.

always somebody about to tell how
poor, how obscure, how no account he
used to be, and to express wonder and
astenishnent that he should ever
amount to anything. The fact that
he has amounted to something, that
he has proved himself success, seems
to make some Of his acquaintance
feel that they have been robbed in a
manner, and that by so much as he
, 10 1seps above in position or influence
ss& p,psh they are dwarfed. They
III std admit the fact that he has
ajatly seaSned his aposition, but attrib-
ute it all to some streak of luck. Now
the truth is that there are very few
men Of note before the public who
have not fought their way through
poverty, obscurity, disastsr and count
less oppositions of adverse circum.
stances. In fact, almost everybody
that is anybody has had to fight for
his crown, and when he gets it should
not everybody rejoice with himj
Doubtless there's many rough dia-
mond that is never set and polished,
but lies buried in mountain gulches

are set, ringing with melody from Mil

Commissioner Hayt has been deter
mined upon. Secretary s'churz is said
to have remarked to-day, upon being

consultation on the propriety Of de-
tanning him and were in doubt.
Andre, seeing this, started his horse
forward and had gone about three
rods when Paulding commanded him
to halt. The man stopped and begged
to be allowed to proceed, but Paulding
said that as he was going toward the
lines Of the lower party he should take
him in custody. The man then offered
Paulding's party his gold watch, which
was a curiosity to the ruralists, to let
him 90. They refused the bride. Then
h. offered to secure for them any
amount of money they might name 1t
they would conceal him and commu.
nicate with such parties as he directed
and then hberate him upon receipt Of
the ransom. This they declined and
ordered him TO dismount. Upon search
ing him they found nothing and were
in doubt about their right to
interfere when Paulding commanded
him to take off his boots. The mar
then turned pale. In his stockings
we're found the dispatches from Ar
mold. My God" said Paulding, he
is a spyl" On making this discovery
they started for North Castle, near
White Plains. They went to the
forks of the road, and turning into
the White Plains road with their
prisoner, they met the Romer party,
to whom they impaired the informa-
ton already given. 1t was agreed be-
tween the six men that Andre should
be delivered to Colonel Jameson, at
North Castle. 1t was then about
noon, and they stopped for dinner at
the Landrine place, and Andre was
placed in a room under guard, and
the room in that house, which is still
standing, is called the Andre room.
To Colonel Jameson's camp the pris-
oner and the evidence against him
we're delivered. His watch, horse and
personal property were sold, and their
value divided among the six men,
Soon after Andres arrival he wrote a
letter to Arnold, and Col. Jameson
sent a messenger with it to the traitor,
to whom it was delivered, the old
tradition says, while he was eating
dinner with General Washington,
near Ta%rrytown. Upon reading it
Arnold hastily left the table, saying
he had important business to attend
to over the river, and departed. TAX
ing a small boat below Tarrytown
and rowing to the British sloop-of. war
Vulture. he was never again seen in
the American lines. The trial and
execution of Andre are well known
historical facts. The claim that the
Romer party we're members of the
capturing party has never been estab-
lished, and as there are no manuscripts
in the families to establish their CON
n%eotion, the statements made by the
fathers of the old men now living are
all that there is to rely upon.

THE n1cruM OF FACTION.

The state credit democrats elected
delegates in Nashville Wednesday
night to a legislative convention.
None but Wright men were invited
or allowed to participate. 1t was al
together a select affair, and the con-
vention will also be select and high.
toned. No fusion for them. The
committee took this position, and the
American is opposed to the policy
Of mush and fraternity" The low
credit men we're warned to stand off
and not thrust themselves into the
councils OF the state credit party. If
the central organ does not succeed in
making this unfortunate division in
the party permanent, it will not be
because its policy and management
has any other tendency. The high
credit democrats of Davidson know
that they cannot, after driving off the
low credit men, elect a single member
to the legislature and yet the Ameri-
can, which might be supposed to have
an interest in the election of some
good democrat to the United States
senate, approves Of this reckless aud
suicidal policy. In Shelby county VIC
are glad to know that better %counsels
prevail, and that all democrats are
likely to unite upon a common ticket.
