is about double that in France. In both

Herat, the city of Afghanistan which is the

| forms quadrangle of nearly mile square,
| and its line of defense is almost straight on
| its western, southern and eastern faces; on
its northern face is double earthwork, con
sisting of the citadel, built of sun-dried
brick on high artificial mound; and lower
down is another and new citadel extending
one hundred yards beyond the line of the
| city wall. This wall is built upon stups1--
dous earthwOrk; averaging $50 feet at the
base, so feet in height, crowned by wall
20 feet high and IA feet thick at the base,
supported by $50 semi circular towers, with
a ditch forty-five feet wide and sixteen feet
| deep. In appearance the place, ia defense,
/ is formidable But whether it could long
| stand against the implements of modern
| warfare is question. In 1887 Herat beat
| off for ten months Persian army of $4,000
| men and fifty pieces of artillery. But an
| English or Russian attack would be more
formidable than that of the Persians. The
| city has a population of about 80, 900. Sixty
years ago it had aim ost 100, 900.
A law of New York forbids certain chari-
| table societies to..profit by bequests in their
favor in a will made within less than two
months of the testator's death. The late
Miss Margaret Burr died within less than
two months after the date of her will, max
ing St. Luke's hospital one of her residuary
legatees. The hospital under the above
statute provisions could not take the be
quest, which, therefore, would fall under the
general rule of law, to the other residuary
lsgatees. But Miss Burr, foreseeing thi $
danger, declared that if any of the 1egacies
should fail, societies entitled to the residue
would regard her wishes by giving the bene
fit of the lapsed 1egacies to the charities
for which they were intended. Judge Davis,
of the New York Supreme court, in a pro-
ceeding to direct the executors in their ad
ministration of the estate, holds that this
provision of the will, while not legally oblig
atory upon the residuary legatees, creates u
moral obligation to carry out the wishes of
the testator, and would justify the charita-
BILE societies, who would profit by the failure
of the bequest to st. Luke's hospital, i'll

tive order of the Law committee of this asso
citation, we believe it to be unquestionably
illegal and invalid. We hold that the land
in question was included in the treaty of
1868 in the Sioux reserve, and that there
fore it cannot be opened by executive order.
Second. The order was made in great
haste at the close of the last administration.
The Indian bureau were given official
notice, nor was the Indian committee of the
Senate or House given any opportunity to
pass upon its wisdom or justice
Third. The effect of the order, if ultimate
ly carried out, will be painfully disastrous to
the Indians, who have been led to believe
that they occupy the land under treaty.
Out of the 635 900 acres included in the
reservation only 1876, 900 acres are left.
About one-half of this is practically worth
less. The two thousand settlers who at once
entered the reservation seriously inter
fering with the agency herd of CATTLE which
is in imminent danger of bsing stampeded.
In this event starvation among the Indians is
to be apprehended.
Fourth The grave danger of disputes be-
tween the intruding whites and Indians is
manifest. Cases have already been reported
of theft and outrage committed by white
men upon inofensive Indians. Should any
Indian forcibly resent the invasion of his
rights there is every reason to believe that it
would result in war with the whole Sioux
nation, of which fAe Indians living upon this
reservation form part; war which would
mean great cost to the government and loss
of life to both whites and Indians. Such a
calamity would involve the destruction of
many years work in the civilization of these
Indians, hitherto successfully maintained by
the government and by various religious bod
les, and place in jeopardy the cause of civil
1ization among the Indians of the United
States. For such results, which we sincerely
trust may be averted, Secretary Teller will
be justly held responsible.
We believe that an order at best of most
questionable legality, affecting the property
of some fifteen hundred persons peculiarly
under the protection of the government and
of it's Executive, and taking large tract of
valuable land without compensation of any
kind should have been neither secret, hasty,
nor without the advice of those officially in
formed on the subject.
For these and other reasons we emphatic
ally condemn this order and the action of
ex-Secretary Teller in regard to it.
We also desire to state our great satisfac-
ton in learning that President Cleveland,
upon motion of this association, has sus-
pended the order, and directed its investiga-
ton and to express our appreciation of bis
prompt and effective action.

has never been known to do what Biliousine does
and has done. Any apothecary who states that lic-
orice compound is the thing as Bousne

ant of his duties pharmacist, and is wholly
worthy of confidence, and not fit to be trusted in
the preparation of medicinal prescriptions. Bilious

"Licorice Compound" is merely mild cathartie

That's all we
need to say.

Curtain ScrimS used to come
only in linen goods; now there
are very good limitations of the

are cheaper. We have both.
The linen goods cost less now
than they did before their cotton

Why is there not more Twill

than the plain cotton, and makes
very much nicer sheets. You
can have it here in o-4, 1914 and
II-4 widths.

any Liver Pr. of so great value as Palm

ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver
Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all
disorders caused by bilious state of the
system. They are entirely unlike all
other Pills, and are marvel to all who
use them. DR. l. S. MILLER.
These Pills are not a Ouack or Pat
ent Medicine, but have great Medicinal
Virtue and Power. So eminently sue
cessful have they been, that our best
physicians and most worthy citizens furn-
ish us with testimonials of cures effected,
which seem miraculous and would hardly
be believed, were it not for the abundance
of proof and its unquestionable reliability.
Ask for Palmer's Liver Pills, and if
your druggist does not keep them, don't
allow him to put off on you any other
Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine,
which they say will answer equally as
well, but insist upon taking no other but
Palmers and your druggist will get them
for you.

a Protest.

To the EDITOR of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
A few weeks ago in this city Mr. Herbert
Welsh gave in Center church an account of
association. A new illustration of the moral
necessity of that association has just been
given in their exposure of another wrong
recently attempted in the name of the gov
ernment against peaceful and comparative
ly civilized tribe of Indians. If half
the story be true which is
told by competent witnesses in
Dakota and endorsed by the law officers of
the Indian Rights association, it is enough to
brand with the mark of Cain the names of
men who are responsible for an executive Or
der, issued under the advice of ex-Secretary
Teller, by which an act Of governmental rob-
berry and consequential murder was attempt
ed. The danger of driving peaceful tribe
of Indians into defensive war, and of destroy.
ing the work of civilization al
ready accomplished among them, ap-
pears from the accompanying protest
prepared by the Indian Rights association
which ask you to reprint in your columns.
If our government should force these Indians
to fight for self-preservation, the sympathies
and prayers of honorable men would be with
the oppressed It is to the credit of Presi
dent Cleveland that, upon the representation
of the Indian Rights association, he has sus
pended the OrQ6r Wnlcn 64-O6cr6Uary l6ller
had issued to the disgrace of the nation. Ape
tition is in circulation in this city asking the
present administration to investigate the
claims made in behalf of the Indians whose
reservation ex-Secretary Teller sought to in
wade by an executive order and praying that
the government will use its authority
to keep our faith as a nation with
a friendly tribe which has never broken its
faith with us. It is hoped that this petition
will receive the signatures of influential citl-
zens without regard to party. 1t Is time
that we should come to the end of the chap
ter of perfdy to the Indians, and this fresh
violation of the rights of a peaceful and de-
fenceless tribe ought to be visited with the
swift indignation of the people.
NEWMAN SMYTH.
We. the executive committee of the Indian
Rights association, enter our public protest
on behalf of the association against an order
issued by President Arthur, under advice of
ex-Secretary Teller, on February 81 last,
throwing into the public lands about five
hundred thousand acres of the Crow Creek
reserve, Dakota.
We do this for the following reasons:

Omaha is now receiving $10O,0O a year
from retail liquor dealers, and will hereafter
receive, under decision of the Supreme
court, from wholesale dealers 81 900 for each

license may be high enough to become prac
tically prohibitive. The Nebraska town
which placed the fee at 100000 has no Ii
censed saloon and no application SO far.
Colonel Maurice, British officer, finds
that out of sixty wars that have occurred
during the present century fewer than ten
were begun by issuing formal declaration.
Not only does Colonel Maurice find no pre-

The aggregate number of car loads of
peached shipped out of Delaware from 1867
to 1884 was s,063, the greatest year being
1875, with 9,072 car loads, and the smallest
1881, with only 7S. A car load is $50
baskets. The bulk of the crop is shipped by
vessel to Baltimore. During the past year
evaporators have been erected throughout
Delaware and Maryland, which are both
profitable in themselves and useful in pre-
venting gluts in the market. The crop for
1885 promises in both States to be large.

Dr. Goerson, who was hung in Phila-

rangement whereby he was enabled to read
at night As there was neither gas jet nor
lamp allowed in his cell he was obliged to
devise some means to aid him to pass away
the time in reading. He obtained sheet of
tin, and after Frightening it he placed it out
side his window at such an angle as to catch
the rays of light from gas lamp in the kit
chen yard, sixty feet away. These rays were
then concentrated inside of his cell by means
of a magnifying glass, and by placing his
book or paper near the glass obtained enough
light to read by.
