THE VOICE OF A KICKER.

The Chicago Daily News is one of
the independent sheets that although
Boosting of l3S, 600 circulation could
not swallow the crow-stew of the Chi
cago convention. In n Late issue it
says:
The republican platform declares that the pub
lie land should bo reserved as far as possible Tor
smnl holdings, nnd that the party is opposed To
the acquisition Of large tracts by corporations or
individuals.
This cannot suit Mr. Steve Ekns very well,
though the declaration, not hei g retrospective In
It's application may be harmless enough. Mr..
ElRins is the owner of vast tracts of land in New
Mexico n large interest in which is said TO be
owned by Mir blaine. These two gentlemen have
spcculatcd together Elkins furnishing the
money and Blaine the political influence
until they are enormously rich and CORE
NpondingIy powerful The political machinery of
tho territory has been for a long time under the
control Of EIkins, aud he ruins makes men as
he chooses
EIkns went ont to New Mexico as United States
attorney Blaine was his sponsor, and sent him
able assistants in the persons of the United States
marshal aud disric,t Judge. These men pooled
their issues, and by legal prosecutions against
those who opposed them nauEurated reign of
terror and fairly hecarSe the virtual
nulocrats Of the territory. E!kIns has
been hobuohbing with Blaine FOR week
past at the lattcrs home in Augusta.
aud what now schemes have been conCocted out
si,rrs may not know; that Eltns iS to run the
Blaine campaign, however, as Dorsey ran the
campaign of Garfield, aud that in case of his
triumph New Mexico will be virtually delivered
up to him TO parcel out as he may deem proper,
is not to he doubted by those who know the men
nnd their Intimate business relations. lf MIR
Sprinprr's committee wants 70 get hold of some
rich campaign material, it could dive into the
New Mexico business with II prospect Of large

McD0ugall and Seward.
The Hatchet

Senator McDougall of California
and Secretary Seward were as init
mate personal friends as they were
unrelenting political enemies. The
Californian propensity for imbibing
"Congr, ,ional nalaria, was thor
oughlv established. One night the
Senator and the great SecretarJ of
State went in Mr.. Stewards carriage
to ''stag" dunner on Ninth Street.
Drinkables rather than edibles
formed the major psrtof the Senator'S
dinner; in fact he paftook rather too
freely of Washington malaria, and
the result was that about two o'clock
he was as full as two goats" Seward
slipped o9 alone in his carriage and
went home. Mcdonald, after an un-
successful search for the Secretary,
set cut by himself to walk home. He
zigzagged down Ninth street until
he reached L Street, where a ditch
had been dug to lay a waterpipe.
Staggering along the Senator en-
deavored to crGss the planks which
were laid over the sewer, but the
malaria" in his head overbalanced
him and lie fell on all his fours into
the muddy ditch After several un-
successful attempts to Chamber out he
lay down and went peacefully to
sleep. About five O'Clock a policeman
crossed the planks and seeing what
he supposed was dead man he called
two colored men who were standing
on the opposite corner and told them
to haul up that ere corpse"
When the Senator was SO suddenly
awakened from his ''malarial' slum-
Der he was ''madder'n a hornet" aud
toe air in the vicinity of Ninth and
T was blue with executive session
remarks. When the men, with the
assistance of the policeman, had
raised the now thoroughly-awakened
Californian TO the pavement, covered
with mud, the policeman grabbed
him by the collar, stood him on his
feet. and asked him who he was and
what he was doing In the sewer at
that time in the morning.
The Senator, who never lost his
presence of mind ner an opportunity
to make the great Secretary the butt
of his wit, looked at the mud on his
now dilapitated dress suit. and slowly
said with hiccough:
We'll, lash night | wash Sen tor
McDougall of California. but this
morn'n | shink I'm Seward"

three-quarters of a mile in length,
and consisted of a single row of
houses, the common rear wall being
tie living rock, while the sides and
fronts were of large square stones laid

tended along the front. Similar vii

Mohawk Valley Indian Relies.
Albany Journal.

Hundreds of curiosity hunters reside
along the Mohawk river, but there is,
perhaps, none so untirIng IN search as
Mr.. A. G.. Richmond, cashier of the
National bank at Canajoharie. Many
days have been spent by this popular
gentleman in plodding over freshly
plowed grounds and IL digging out
of the earth Indian trophies. rs

in his fine residence filled with them.
A Journal reporter requested the prl-
vilege of inspecting the collection the
other day, and upon entering the par
lor was attracted by the lifelike per-
soni2cation of seven-foot Indian
chief, IN full regalia, propped up in
one corner. THAT" said Mr.. Rich
mond, "resembles an Indian warrior
of the present day. You sec his ma
tive costume, to which is pinned an
original scalp. and on his belt hang
two pouches worked with beads. He
carries a drum, such as the Indians
nowadays march with, and his moe
casins are also heavily beaded. The
ancient Indians probably were appar-
emily not so genteel as this old fellow
was
On the west side of the room was ar
ranged large upright case with five
shelves, which contained his better
specimens of the Mohawk valley col
lection. There was one huge mortar
which must at some time have been
used either by the medicine man" or
by miller for grinding corn. 1t is
about four feet long, Clipped out OF
a solid bowlder and weighs over a
hundred pounds. Asother mortar
was only about an inch square. An
entire shelf is devoted to the display
of various kinds of arrow-heads These
are of all shapes ard two kinds of
hint-the white and blue. One prculi-
arly odd specimen was an arrow head
shaped to resemble duck. The az
row heads found by Mr.. Richmond
are numbered by the thousands. 1t is
believed that the Jesuits when they
came here to teach the Indians, wore
finger rings, for in Mr.. RIchmond's
collection are several copper finger
rings all alike with the monogram II.

is carved a figure to represent the

assortment comprises only about one
half of the Indian curiosities of the
Richmond collection. There are ar
ranged in showcases on either side of
the room bone implements of almost
every conceivable shape, agricultural
implements, scilping knives, pipes,
bone whistles, pots, kettles, rain jars,
and hundreds of other articles.
