worthy of our attention.
Supt. Geo. Q. Cannon said enough

of the Historian BancFoft's works to

WASHINGTON, December 2.-Sheffield,
the new Senator from Rhode Island,
was sworn in.
The chair laid before the Senate the
reports of the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Comptroller of the Currency.
Vest offered resolution directing an
investigation into all leases of land in
Indian Territory for grazing or other
purposes by Indian tribes, the number
of acres embraced in said leases, their
terms and the persons or corporations
becoming lessees; also the circum-
stances under which the leases were
made, the means used in obtaining the
leases, and whether they were author
lied by law.
Vest said he had information these
leases were obtained from the Indians
by corruption, fraud and bribery.
Maxey Harrison and others advocated
the resolution. and the proceedings
broadened into a general discussion OF
Indian lands and supplies.
Dawes said that these leases OF In
dian lands, while wrong, were no more
outrageous than the authorized en-.
closure, by wire fences, of thousands OF
acres of public lands. If remedial ac-
ton was not taken in time the public
domain would pass irrecoverably into
the possession of large land owners
foreign and native. He hoped the mat
ter would not be allowed to end in talk
or be confined to the Indian lands alone
Congress had the power to clothe the
executive officers of the government
with ample authority in the premise:
and should do so.

The FlorIda Cracker.

London Times Letter:-It is in a re-
gion like this that the tourist not infre-
quently sees that strange specimen Of
human being-the Florida Cracker"
He is next to the Seminole Indian, the
Original inhabitant" of this section,
though he appears rather more numer-
ously in Northern and Western Flori-
da, along the gulf coast. The rapid i'm
migration of a more enterprising race
gradually pushes him to the wall. A
quaint, pale, leather-skinned, clay-color-
ed creature, with unkempt locks and
ragged, grizzled beard, a lack-lustre eye
and yellowish hair, his shiftless, SLOUGH
ing manner gives the impression that
he is a sort of dead-alive mummy. He
is content to live in a bare loghut, with
the chinks Enclosed and usually with
out windows. He gets water from a
neighboring spring, and manages to
pick up precarious living from the
flesh Of hogs and game, his vegetables
beng the tops of cabbage, palmettoes
and the sweet potato fried in fat. His
luxury is the corn "dodger," a corn cake
of dough, half-baked and most intense
ly dyspeptic. AS a seasoning ingredi-
ent, like their brother "crackers'' of
Georgia, these strange people eat little
balls Of red clay. They are all smokers
and great tobacco chewers, and the de-
light Of their lives is the fiery stimulant
known as "pine knot" whisky, a liquid
that in it's electrical effects %outreaches
even the peppery drink of the Northern
states, the "Jersey lightning" These
men are excellentrihe shots, and during
the war made good fighters for the "lost
cause" but they are shy and vindictive,
and usually densely ignorant.

Neal Dow Against License.

Mr.. Neal Dow, in the National Tenn
perance Advocate, says that we favor
high license" We do not want high
license, we dislike it; we want no Ii
cense at all. But we cannot. get what
we do want, which is prohibition, we
will do our best, to get high license as a
lesser evil than free rum, as a step tow
ard prohibition. For what is high Ii
cens6? Is it a permission given by the
state to sell liquor? Not at all. They
were selling before without license.
This miscalled high license is a scheme
for partial prohibition by taxation. 1t
ingeniously prohibits all from selling
liquor who will not pay a heavy tax;
and those who pay this tax it leaves for
a while with the same immunity they
had before, until the prohibition shall
rise little higher, so that they, too, can
be prohibited. Where we can have total
prohibition, we will take it gladly.
Where we can have only a partial pro-
hibition, as in this state, we will take
that with thanks. We do not propose
to take Il place with the impractica-
Die reformers who say "Give us total
prohibition, or if not we will have free
rum" We do not want free rum. We
will welcome every advance toward
prohibition, keeping that as the end
ever in view.

The Belt n Off.

Pierre Free Preston Wednesday
evening, during the heavy rain storm,
J. II. MISSIONER was riding horseback,
a short distance north of Pierre, when
he was suddenly struck on top of his
head by what'seemed like a large ball
of fire, and then tie ball exploded with
a loud noise and scattered in different
directions, some parts seeming to fall
to the earth and others to zigzag up
wards. The stroke shocked him so that
he was stunned for a moment, and his
horse was frightened into a mad run.
Parties who were in a buggy a short
distance behind, also experienced a
shock, but not so severe, and saw the
effect it had On him. The theory is
that it was q mild stroke Of lightning,
and the electrical fluid coming in con-
tact with the rubber hat; which is a
non-conductor, the stroke was diverted
from it's. course. All the succeeding
day and night Mr.. Westover had! a Sc
we're headache, but has since felt no bad
effects from the stroke.

witness who had been well coached by
the other side and had answered pat all,
the stereotyped questions. Suppose
said MI. Benjamin, "that therehad been
no steamer and no sailing vessel in the
river, would the collision have taken
place." The witness, quite nonplused,
stared, with eyes and mouth wide open,
but answered not q word. II shall not
examine this witness further" said NIr.
