who is Lowry For?

Holly Springs Rcporter.l
Some of our exchanges want Lowry
to say who he favors for Senator. Is
this a trick of the enemy? Suppose
he says Lamar, and makes anti Lamar
men cold, or no Lamar, and makes
pro-Lamar men cold to him, will that
suit any anti Lamar or pro- Lamar
Democrats who wishes to elect the
gubernatorial candidate of the con-
vention? 1t ought not to suit Mr..
Lamar. And, since the gubernatorial
and senatorial questions are distinct
and separate, We will do Mr.. Lamar
the justice to believe and say he. wants
no answer to such a question. Messrs.
Higgins and Billings and Cooings of
Starksville have asked General Lowry
further questions, which he is equally
bound to answer as follows:
lst. How are you this morning.
End. Who killed Cock Robin?"
Bird. VIII you live in the Execu-
tive Mansion if you are elected, or
board at a restaurant?
Attn. III you keep house, Will you
give Ben King the cold shoulder or
a piece of your mind.
9th. Will you plant in your garden
potatoes and beans, or altogether
turnups2 if so, which?
9th. Does a tame goat outrank cleo
margerine2
9TH. Have you heard "Pinafore'
and if SO how many2
9Th. Will there be any "stufing2"
9th. Have you such a thing as a
ten dollar bill about your pocket?
10th. If we vote for you, do you
know a quiet little nook somewhere in
the State. where we could live without
work? 49,

nized rule of American, as Of English,
politics, is to take every advantage,
and yield none. If the Democrats
have the opportunity to elect
Mr.. Arthur's successor in the
chair Of the Senate, and his
possible successor in the executive
Office, they will earn no reputation fol-
magnanimity by letting the chance
slip and they will evoke no storm by
embracing it. They will be acting up
to the rules of the game simply. MOI
have the Republicans Of the Senate
been behaving in a way which entities
them to any display OF magnanimity
The bargain with Mr.. Malone, by
which they secured a temporary con-
troll of that body, showed how ready
they we're to take hold Of every ad-
vantage which offered itself, and not
even to stand upon terms of public
honor and honesty. 1t now seems as
if Mr.. Mahone's vote in the Senate
were all hal is to be got by the Vir
ginia coalition. A dispatch to The
Tribune comedies that the debt-pay.
ing Democrats will carry the State BY
thirty thousand majority. 1t is Il
purchase a defeat like this that the
Republicans have broken up theil
own party and soiled their record b.
alliance with Repudiationists.

all these things started, the name of

their best energies on the debating

ONE Of the indications of the pros
perity of the country is the extraor-
binary sale of public lands during the
last year and a half. Officials of the
General Land Office say that the re-
turns for the fiscal year 1881, when
completed and tabulated, will show
that the sales of land during the year
will exceed the sales of any other year
in the annals Of the government. 1t
is thought probable that the transac-
tions for the present year will equal
if not exceed those Of last year, pro-
Vided there is no marked falling of in
immigration.

THE INDIAN POLICY.
Gen. E, o. Q. Ord Gives His Opin-
lon Favorable to a Change in
Treating the Gentle Red Man.
1atsrvioW in New York Tribupo.l

Interview in New York Tribuno.l
What do youthink Of the Govern
ment's Indian agents?p
Many Of the Indian agents are
worthy men-good Christians. But
they go out among the Indians often
as propagandists Of their faith rather
than ~peaceable distributors of the
Government aims and protectors of
the Indians, who have no votes, from
the white man. | hope to call the at
tention Of the Secretary Of the Interior
TO the inevitable consequences Of
too much gunpowder applied to
Christianizing a warlike people
like the Apaches or Navajoes,
who are just as much attached to
their religious dances as the shaking
Quakers are, and probably more ready
to fight for them. Doubtless to enable
Agent Tiffany to govern the Indians
IN his way it was necessary to get rid
Of the medicine man; but the question
is, do the people Of the United States
approve Of giving him his own way at
the expense Of a principle and Of so
many lives? Besides, are not the
Apache Indians entitled to have their
side of the story heard through some
other source than Agent Tiffany
or the Arizona politician, who, if he
echoes the popular belief of that coun-
try, will scout the idea that an Apache
has any right to live on land hal a
white man needs, and needs very
much2"
"What do you think the future Of
the Apaches will be?"
1T looks as if the White Mountain
Apache had to go where 3 good many
OF the tribe have gone already, unless
we can give him a vote, as we have
done the African, and then the dele-
gates in Congress will, maybe, think
Apaohes have some rights"
Are the Apaches intelligent
enough to be allowed sufrage?"
Eyes, indeed, they are very intelli-
gent-much more so than the negro"
"What do you think will be the
result Of this outbreak"
well, influence in Congress and
the troops are, as one naturally might
suppose, all on the side of the white
men, and the hostile Apaches will
probably betake themselves to Mexico
to carry on hostilities as other Indians
have done for similar reasons. The
agent has had a hard task imposed
upon him. He is sent out, maybe,
by a congregation to make converts.
He finds the Indians badly fed,
suspicious from long suffering, re-
garded as trespassers on all sides. The
delegate to Congress, at the instance
Of his constituency, whom he is elected
to represent, wants the Indians re
moved, and if the agent does not CON
sent, the probabilities are that he will
be removed himself"
what is the remedy; do you think,
for this state Of affairs?"
1.-THE system which places the In
dian on a reservation, tells him he
will stay there, and tells him to go to
work and make it his home, must be
vicious when the Government knows
perfectly we'll that it, through Con
gress, will be compelled by the con-
stitueuts of the delegates from q Ter.
ritory to remove those Indians as soon
as that reservation is wanted by the
voters. AS | said before, we have
given the negroes votes, and it has
worked well for them; it can't work
worse for the Indians"

silver and copper mines in all the ter
ritory, but until these red devils are
wiped out We can do nothing in the
way Of developing them. We have
one Of those famous old Aztec and
Spanish mines, which for untold ages
furnished the wealth of the Montezu-
mas and Of Spain, but until the
Apaches are swept out Of the way it
might as well Be a limestone quarry or
a sand bank"
"You speak Of the government poll
cy as being to blame; what is it or how
is it?"
why, simply this: ignorance in
planning, i~neficienoy in executing and
id Observation-Disclosures in every
thing. The Apaches make a raid
upon an exposed settlement and mas
sacre, burn and outrage to their ruth
less hearts content. Arunner carries
the news in a few hours to the near
est fort. Instead Of mounting his
men and starting instantly in pursuit,
determined to catch the copper-hided
devils, the colonel or major in COM
mand has to telegraph to an old granny
called Hatch, the general commands
ing the district, at Santa Fe, for
orders. He has to telegraph to John
Pope, Of headquarters-in-t the saddle
fame, general commanding the depart
ment, at LeavenVrOrth, for orders.
Pope telegraphs Phil Sheridan. at
Chicago, for orders. Sheridan tele-
graphs Sherman, the general in chief,
at Washington, for orders. Sherman
refers it to the SECRETARY Of War, and
he in turn refers it to some old granny
at the head of the Interior Depart
ment, and by the time he studies up
the whole Indian question from the
days Of Okeechobee and T~ippecanoe.
the Apaches have laid waste forty
more settlements and skipped back
into Chihuahua or Sonora to fatten in
their booty aud laugh at the DID
fools, who pass for statesmen and
soldiers in the United States"
How long will you remain in this
region, Colonel"

The war has been over sixteen and q

A Timely Warning, or fhe Expert
enoe of O Minister.

If you suffer from general debility,
brought on by too close application TO
business andlexcessive brain-work; or
from increasing pr~ostrstion and sink
ing spells, that even a rest or removal
of the cause will not relieve, make
haste to do as did a reverend friend of
ours. he secured from his druggist a
bottle Of Browns Iron Bitters, having
heard Of its merit from a physician,
who told him not to take any other
Bitters or Tonic, for with the excep-
ton Of Browns Iron Bitters, they all
contained alcohol, and had failed to
give his patients lasting relief nor
should he take any other preparation
Of Iron, for with the exception of
Browns Iron Bitters, they all black
ened the teeth, and often gave head
ache, which Browns Iron Bitters
never did, but in fact cured headache.
The effect was most satisfactory; he
Immediately realized wonderful re-
suits, His old energy returned, his
natural force came back, and he felt
himself altogether a new man, full of
strength and yigor, and he has
continued TO remain so ever since.
Now he recommends Browns Iron
Bittors to all his friends, which VIC
unhestitaiingly do to all our readers.

The strain 10 which the Federal
government was subjected by the seat
lug OF a President not elected was a
very severe one. But for the modera-
tion Of the defrauded party, and the
universal confidence in the final and
sober judgment of the people. it
might have been fatal. We were. in.
deed, so nearly Mexicanized by that
monstrous crime hat rejecting men
look back upon it with trembling.
But if, as the daily official bulletin
from the White House declares, with
shocking regularity and certainty of
statement, the President is laboring
under a complete constitutional disa-
billty, what kind of a government are
We living under noW2 Is the exeeu-
tive power suspended? Or is it exer-
clsed BY an IN officer or a number Of
officers unknown to the Constitution,
and unauthorized by any law to act in
any contingency? 1t is not pleasant
to ask these questions; the press has
long relrained from asking them. The
men who took into their hands the
executive power Of the nation, when
it fell from the nerveless grasp of the
stricken President, and have held it
ever since, have not once seen the
face or heard the voice Of him in
whose name they retain it.
General Garfield is, Of course, not
responsible for any Of these specific
acts. We are left to conjecture what
he would say could he either think or
speak concerning,this remarkable stu.
alton. Unbappily for the country he
can do neither. What is done is done
without reference to his will; what Is
omitted is omitted without reference
TO his wishes. Doubtless If. in the
intervals Of consuming fever, his brave
heart had yet strength to form a reso-
luton, and he was permitted commu-
nication with any but his selected
attendants, he would say. LET the
constitution be serupulously observed:
let no partisan resolution stand in the
way Of a legal and peaceful admins
tratlon of my Office by my lawful sub
stitute until this dread crisis shall have
passed away"
