Should the bill known as the "land in
severaty and law for Indians" which
passed the Senate on Wednesday, become
a law, it will doubtless mark the begin
ming of the end of the Indian question.
Under its provisions the various reserva-
tions may be broken up by consent of the
Indians. the Indian taking his first choice
of a homestead. and the remainder sold to
actual settlers, the price so received con-
sttuting civilization fund. the interest of
which will be used for the benefit of the
Indian. If two-thirds of any tribe refuse
to give up their tribal relation. and accept
personal title in fee simple, the Presi
dent can issue a protected title to any in
dividual of the tribe who wishes for sep
arate allotment. This will be held in
trust by the United States for twenty five
years and then patent will be issued for
it, The bill also extends the laws of the
State and Territory in which the Indians
are located over them.

Presidential.

As the time approaches in which the
national conventions are to be held inter-
est increases in relation to Presidential
candidates. The state of things at this
time is very peculiar. 1t is impossible to
see with any clesrncss who will be the
successful candidate at the democratic con-
vention. 1t may be Mcdonald. Tilden,
or some one else whose name is discussed /;
or ii may be none of these. The best in
formed democrats are unable to forecast
who will he the democratic nominee. In
all that are mentioned as candidates there
is no one name towering above the others.
If Tilden were younger aud in good health
his name would lead, but being physically
a wreck his case would seem 10 be nearly
hopeless and yet some think there is a
possible chance for him.
Among the republicans there is a more
positive shaping of things relating to the
nominee of the party at the Chicago con-
veution. The boom for President Arthur
is perceptibly on the waue. He commands
respect, but as considerable part of the
vote of his own State will be against his
nomination it becomes evident that he
cannot possibly succeed in the convention.
and the enthusiasm of his supporters dies
out. General Logan has good deal of
popularity among the soldiers, but thus
far his name does not stir the enthusiasm
necessary for success. Mr.. Edmunds has
strength of character and strong friends,
but his nomination is not regarded as
among the probabilities.
The boom started for Mr.. Blaine by his
friends in many States overshadows that
OF any other candidate mentioned on the
republican side. 1t grows every week.
1t crops out in unexpected places. II

in the following editorial OF the Phnadel-
phia Press of last Monday morning:
In the fertile field of Pennsylvania repub-
licanism, where the people are the husband
men, the harvest of delegates is for Blaine.
On Saturday republican primaries were held
in Lehigh, Snyder, Beaver, Clear6eld. West
moreIand, Union. Lycoming. Susquehanna,
Lawrence, Armstrong. Cambria. Greene and
Allegheny counties. The result adds twelve
counties and a part of Allegheny to the
Blaine column.
The counties which had previously in
structed their delegates for Blaine were
Adams. Blair, Clinton. Columbia, Camber-
land, Erie, Fayette, Forest, Franklin, Hunt
ingion. Jefferson, Lackawanna. Luzerne,
Monroe. Northampton. Perry, Pike, Wash
ington, Wyoming and York The counties
which have already declared for Blaine give
him eighty-two representative and twenty
three senatorial delegates outside OF Phila-
delphla- The republican convention will
consist of 2jI delegates. More than two
week. before the date of the convention
there are chosen los delegates from the
counties outside of Philadelphia who will be
for Blaine first and last. Philadelphia, Cam
eron. Elk Lebanon, Mexican, Montour and
Schu ,lkill send GG uninstructed delegates
One Allegheny senatorial district Is still IN
doubt The total number of delegates re-
turned il I54. Of which at least l2s, over
one half of the convention, are in Mr..
Blaine's interest.
During the coming week the republicans of
Wayne, Tioga, Bedford, Venango, Indiana.
Berk-, Butler, Dauphin, Chester, Delaware,
Northumberland. Huntingdon, Bradford,
Somerset and Mifiin will hold primaries or
conventions and swell the number of Blaine
delegates already chosen.
As in Pennsylvania SO in Ohio. the north
western and Pacific States. in Kansas.
Nebraska. and all other stable republican
States. New York will give him good
support. and Maryland will again support
him with her delegation. What the south
ern States may do in the matter does not
yet fully appear, but in the States where
the republican party is in majority the
name of Blaine outstrips all others as can
didate for the republican nomination tor

THE PROHIBITION WAVE.
As Seen by the Champion.

Again the Champion, the leading
organ of the liquor dealers, sounds
the alarm, in the following editor
ial language:
When the Ohio or the Missouri
rivers overflow their banks and
cover the lands on both sides with
debris and ruins, do the inhabi-
tants stand stupidity by to witness
the falling down of their houses.
barns and stables, and carrying off
by the food their homes, cattle and
grain? Do they smile, stick their
hands in their breeches pockets
and say to one another: "Well if
M y neighbors can stand it, l can"
Yet this is exactly the condition
of the liquor dealers and saloon
keepers Of almost every State of the
Union to-day-this is exactly how
they speak. They can't help see
ing the wave of Prohibition rolling
on them, they can't help foresee-
ing the destruction and ruin
which will follow, and yet: They
quietly look on with their hands
In their pockets, cigar or pipe
between their lips, placidly saying
"Well, all we can do won't help US
any.-What's the use of throwing
our money away for the protective
association" IF others can stand
it, | and the like.
Once more, we call your atten-
ton to your danger: There was
nirth. rejoicing, carousing and
revelry in the dining hall of the
