ADDRESS TO THE
UTES.

| People of my tribe! the SORROW
ing widow of the dead Curry speaks
to you. She comes to you. not as
the squaw of the dead chieftain, to
rouse You to war and victory, but
to weep with you over the loss of
her people and the greed of the
pale face.
The fair Colorado, over whose
rocky mountains We have roamed
and hunted in the olden time, is
now oyer-run by the silver-plated
Senator and the soft-eyed dude.
! We are driven to small corner
of the earth to die, while the op-
pressor digs gopher holes in the
green grass and sells them to the
SPECTATOR in the great cities toward
the rising sun.
Through the long cold winter my
people have passed, in want and
cold, while the conqueror of tho
peaceful Ute has worn 50 so night
shirts and filled his pale skin with
pie!
Chipeta addresses you as the
weeping squaw of a great man,
whose bones will one day nourish
the cucumber vine. Ouray now
sleeps beneath the brown grass OF
the canyon, where the soft spring
winds may stir the dead leaves and
the young coyote may come and
monkey DER his grave.
Ouray was ignorant in the ways
of the pale-face. He could not 60
: to Congress-, for he was not citi-
zen of the United States. He had
not taken out his second papers.
He was a simple child of the forest,
but he stuck to Chipeta; He loved
Chipeta like hired nan. That is
why the widowed squaw weeps
over him.
a few more years and shall join
Ouray, my chief. Ouray, the big
Iniun from far away up the gulch.
His hearts still open to me. Chi
peta could trust him, even among
the smiling maidens of her tribe.
Quay was true. There was no
funny business III his nature. He
loved not the garb of the pale-face,
but won my heart while he wore a
saddle-blanket and look of woe.
Chipeta looks to the north and
the south, and all about are the
graves of her people. The refine.
uent of the oppressor has como.
with its divorce and schools and
gir cocktails, and -four bread and
fall elections, and we linger here
like boil on the neck of fat mani
Even while I talk to you, the
damp winds of Ap,ii are signing
through my vertebre. and I've got
more pains in my back than con-
seTvatory.
Weep with the widowed Chipeta.
Bow your heads and howl, for our
harps are hung on the willows, and
our wild goose is cooked.
Who will be left to mourn at
Chipeta's grave? None but the
starving pappooses of my nation.
We stand in the gray mist Of spring
like dead buriocks in the field of
the honest farmer, and the chilly
winds of departing winter make us
hump and gather like burnt boot.
All we can do is TO wal.
Chipeta cannot vote Chipeta
cannot pay taxes to . great nation,
but you will be apt to hear her gen.
tie voice, and her mellow racket
will FIJI the air till her tongue is
cold. and they tuck the buffalo robe
about Der and plant her by the.
side of her dead chieftain. where
tho south wind and the sage hen
ere singing.-DsfT0i Free Press.

Condition of the Nail Trade,

PITTsBURG, Nov. 30.-The Iron Age publishes
this week number of letters from nail manu-
facturers, giving their views as to the present
condition and future prospects of the trade. A
member of the Western Nail Association says
the manufactures will control tie product by
suspensions If stOppage Of five weeks will
not effect the object another stop will follow.
Another manufacturer considers the outlook
for 884 decidedly gloomy. Eastern manufacture
ers express the opinion that the great increase in
factories Is caused by the Pittsburg strike of
two years ago as, during that time, a boom was
created which resulted in the organization of
many new plants. President Coobs, of the Iron
and Nail Company, Aurora, Ind, says the nail
trade is undergoing complete revolution by
the use of wrought scrap, by which nails are
manufactured for fifty cents keg less that from
pig metal,

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30
AS usual the day following holiday, little was
done in the local general merchandise markets
Prices we're steady; hut tumble in prices Of
poultry and eggs, and probably in potatoes and
APPLES, may now be looked for. Tame markets
and dullness in business generally, except with
dealers in special holiday goods may be looked

would not be so many announcements of the
stOppage of factories and Of the blowing out OF
furnaces"

frmness, with all grades in active request
Under light receipts dealers find it difficult to
1ill orders. Very little shipping inquiry, az
l'rtces at seaboard have not advanced in proper
