COMMENTING upon the remarks made to the President by the com mlttee representing the Mohawk h. dian confer nee, in which the com mittee supported the proposed plan of giving the lndians lands in severalty, General Sheridan, in a recent inter- view, said:
 " have been advocating that thing Tor nearly twenty years, and if my recommendations had been adopted when l first made them, many th0us, ands of lives and millions of dollars might have been saved. My plan IS to give each family s2o acres and have the government buy the remain der of the reservation at Sr.2s per acre, and pay for il in 4 pel cent. bonds. The interest on these bonds would be enough to support the h. dlans, educate them, civilize them, buy them cattle and agricultural i'm pIements, and hire good men to teach them farming. Take the Crow reser- uallon for example which we have SO much trouble keeping Indians on. It embraces 5000, ,ooo acres of the best land Tn the world, owned by about 500 families. Give each family two sections, and the proceeds of the sale of the remainCer of the land would be at feast S6,ooo, 900. The interest on this would give about $500 year to each family, and that would give them all the money they needed. The same rule is true of all Indian reservations. There IS not one of them that could not be sold tor enough to support the Indians permanently, so that the government need not ap- proPrlate anything more for their SUD- port. Nearly all of these lands could be sold for Sr.25 per acre any time. Some Of them are worth S3 or SIo an acre. It cost the government S2oo,- | 900 10 keep the boomers out of the Indian Territory last year-to keep lsettlers of from lands that were idle, and although they are valuable, are bringing their owners nothing. These lands if sold, just like the Crow reSer- vation, would bring fund, the inter- est of which would support the h. dians permanently. The Gndi1ns are the richest landowners in the coun- try, but their property Is not bringing them anything"
 Little Phll's head is level on the h. dian question, and when he gets through his work of making Messrs. Geronimo and company good Indians, Grover Cleveland can't make any bet ter use of his loose time than in listen- ing to what the hero of Winchester has to say about the future disposal of the noble red man."

JUDGE HENDERSON, of New Mexi- co, democrat appointed by the pres ent administration, has decided that The Governor of Territory has no power 10 remove Territorial officials for political reasons, and he has re- fused to recognize district attorney recently appointed by Governor Ross, on the ground that the Governor has no authority to remove the present incumbent of the place merely because he happens to be a republican.

THOMAS A. HENDRIC s.


 reaper whose name is death," has garnered into the hereafter many men who were foremost in the worlds re. gard. But the news of the demise of none oi them came upon the nation with such shock as the announce ment of the death of THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, Vice President of the United States. No notice had been given of hls sickness, and although an old man numbering 66 years, he was so full of vigor and vitality, that many years of useful p'.blic life was anticipated for him. It was only on Saturday last that he returned from Chicago to his home in Indianapolis. He had gone to the former city to at. tend the stock show and which there he made several speeches, and was the recipient of many attentions accord ed to his high official position as we'll as to one of the most honored and distinguished representative men of great political party.
 The evening before his death Mir. Hendricks attended a reception at the house of his friend, the Hon. John ]. Cooper, Treasurer of the State of Indiana, where he appeared m good health and greeted his many friends with his usual cheerfulness. Thenext morning he complained of a pain in his stomach, and his friend, Dr. Thompson, was sent for. All day he was slightly indisposed, rest ing in his bed chamber. Dlring the afternoon Mrs. Hendricks left him md went down staiIs to receive call tr. On her return few minutes be. fore five o'clock she found him lying on the bed, partially undressed, and dead.
 Mir. Hendricks, while he may not be chased as brilliant orator or great political leader, enjoyed, to larger extent perhaps than any other man, the confidence and esteem of the best element of his party. He was a strong partisan, a thorough-going, uncom- promising democrat of the old school, out even among his most bitter politi- cal enemies he could count mlqy per sonal friends, who honored the man for his honesty and sterling worth He had been Governor of his State, United States Senator and Vice Pres Ident, the highest political honors that could be conferred upon him, only excepting the Presidency. In 1876 he was nominated on the Tilden ticket, which sustained defeat, and in 1884 at the Chicago convention he was again nominated for Vice Presi- dent on the Cleveland ticket, h ,his second nomination he was sue cessful, and had his life been spared he would have presided over the Sen ate with dignity and ability.
 For more than thirty years MT. and Mrs. Hendricks have resided in or near Indianapolis, and she has been to him q worthy and noble helpmltc. Hay ing no childrcn-their only child died when a baby--as far as their means would allow they have been profuse in their generosity, and no call on behalf of worthy charity ever passed them unheeded. The public life ot Thomas A. Hendricks was un. stained and but few men have had their official conduct subjected to less criticism. In private life he was consistent Christian gentleman, for many years he had been a. deacon of St. Paul's Episcopal church, and au earnest worker in that community, living with faith in the Saviour, who alone has given to man that hope of fife eternal which makes life tolerable

Camping on the Reservation.

A large part of the population of New
Rockford and Eddy county recently went
up to Devils lake and held a very profit
able camp meeting under the leadership of
Elder j. W. Hays of the Transcript The
religious exercises were interspersed with
boating and fishing, in accordance with the
reported example of the early disciples
Elder Hays and Rev. Mr.. Tyson took in
fifteen pickerel so large that they required
help TO remove them. Mr.. lIealey took in
fifteen-pound pickerel. The Indians OBJ
jected 10 their camping on the reservation.
This incident is recorded by the elder:
After a few hours drive over the beautiful
Indian reservation. the first object of interest
was the residence of the Indian chief, Iron
Heart. This chief, well along in years. has
witnessed many "a conflict with the Indians
white foe, being one of the number present
in the sad Minnesota massacre. He has sub
mitted TO the inevitable and is engaging him
self and people i'm agricultural and industrial
pursuits. He was looked upon with interest
by the party as his place was passed. He was
engaged in hauling fence posts with his OK
team and later appeared at his door holding
newspaper printed in the language of the
Dakotas, in which language his people are
being instructed both in church and school.
The teams passed his house and on through
his timber down to the beautiful shore that
lines the lake.
When the country becomes n little more
settled and conveniences are provided tn at
lake will be great resort for pleasure
seekers and fishers.

Large farms are being opened up and many
large herds of cattle are already owned by
the farmers, The land is a beautiful roll
