An Offensive Wooden Leg.

Madison Courier.
The other morning, when Postmaster Jones, OF
Indianapolis read In his newspaper that the
President had appointed to a lucrative Office IN
Virginia the author of the infamous toast:
Here's to the man that pulled the trigger
THAT fred the gun that killed the man who freed the
niger"
he took courage and hurried to the postoffice and
peremptorly dismissed from the service the enc
legged Union soldier employed at the general
delivery window. His wooden leg was doubtless
considered piece of offensive partisanship, and
an Unpleasant reminder of the war. 1t is posi-
BILE that one of the postmasters relatives, not
now in the public service, will be appointed to
fill the vacancy.

The streets of Passaic are laid out in pecul-

Passaic street and Washington place, run paral-

connecting links. Nearly five years ago ar eff
fort was made to open q way between them

elapsed and Columbia avenue was officially de-
clared "open, but it was of little use owing to
its unevenness In September last the City
Council advertised for bids for the grading Of
the new street and awarded the contract to the
lowest bidder, with stipulation that it should
be completed in sixty days.
The contractor went to work with will and
it looked as if the people would quickly be pos
sessed of a fine avenue Bat the sixty days
came and went another thirty were granted,
and now ninety more have been added TO them
and still there are no signs Of street. During
ali this time the contractor has appeared to be

When news is excruciatingly scarce in Indian

Hitherto the Indians in this country have
failed to do anything but make some very
interesting history. Few of them have sue
ceeded in making a living since they came
under the wing OF the government. 1t is
with considerable interest, therefore, that an
experiment now described as going on in
Northern Dakota will be watched by the In
dian Rights Association and all other friends
of the vanishing red man. The councilmen
of the Sioux Nation, with the general assent
Of the people, have, it is said, determined to
establish mail and transportation routes
throughout the frontier region. All the la
Dor connected with the transportation of mail,
passengers and freight will be performed on
foot and athletic young Indians are now in
training for their part of the enterprise.
The men are to be harnessed to streng, light
vehicles; and are to travel from five to seven
miles an hour. Ninety days is to be the lin
it of years work for one Indian. At the
expiration of that time he retires to the res
crvation and a fresh one takes his place
Several hundred Indians will be employed
at time, all of whom are to be young men.
Older men will manage the business. AS the
whole business is to be conducted on the CO.
operative principle, every member of the
Sioux nation receiving a per centage of the
earnings after the operating expenses have
been paid, the oldur 'D1sfFcs will undoubtedly
have their bands full to counsel and manage
so that the concern will pay dividends.
Another thing which will require all the wis
dom of the old men is to see that these divi-
dends go to the tribe instead of to some
scheming white man.
The Portland daily press., 1886-09-27

In the struggle this year for the mayoralty
of New York city there will be at least one
prominent candidate. Whemerer the Tamma-
ny Democrats, the County Democrats or the
Republicans may put up, the fortunes of no
candidate will be watched with more inter
est than those of the workingmen's candi-
date, Mr.. Henry George. His nomination,
and his claim that he has the pledged sup
port of thirty thousand men, are both very
interesting facts. Mr.. George is an Ameri-
can; but the doctrine in the advocacy of
which he has brought himself into promi-
hence in the country abroad, is not Ameri-
can but Socialistic. Mr.. GEORGE believes in
the abolition of private property in land; he
also believes that the rich are growing
richer and the poor poorer, a theory that un-
doubtedly has wide acceptance among the
poorer classes of New York city. While he
does not 90 farther in his Socialistic ideas than
to demand that the State shall own the land,
Mr.. Georges tendencies of thought are tow
ards that school of thinkers whose teachings
are viewed with alarm by the thrifty people
of all countries. 1t is by his abilities and
moderation that Mr.. George mas risen into a
more honorable prominence than is conceded
to most Socialist agtators. Among his sup
porters at the election will be many who do
not agree with him in his theories, but new
ertheless his support will be mainly from
men who are dissatisfied with the existing
conditions of life. Any large vote for him
will be a result not only curious, but highly
important and significant.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY,

II any such treaty as that telegraphed
from Ottawa has been negotiated between
the United States and Great Britain it is ev-
ident that Mr.. Bayard has been as badly ov-
erreached as he was by the British minister
at Washington when he was induced to
promise to use his influence in behalf of a
commission to settle the fishery dispute.
Under this treaty the United States gives
great deal and gets very little. 1t opens its
markets freely to the Canadian fishermen
and our American fishermen get in return
the right to take fish along the shores of the
Dominion and the right to land for the pur-
pose Of curing them. Both of these privileg-
es are of very little consequence in them
selves, and as compared with what we give
for them, namely, our markets, they are a
wretched return for their cost. Every fisher
man has already protested against such
trade as this. and has declared that it means
his ruin. AS for the other privileges grant
ed us under this treaty there is only one
which is of much consequence--the right to
send agricultural implements into Canada
free of duty. But this privilege is bought at
very dear price, especially to the people of
Maine, for vegetables and lumber. two of
the staple products of this State. are to be
admitted from Canada free of duty and thus
Canadian product is to be put into COM
petition with our own with the advantages
to the Canadian such that he will inevitably
beat us in our own markets.
AS far as this State is concerned. this treaty
would accomplish substantially the same re-
suits as would the Morrison bill if it became
a law. Our fishermen would be placed in di-
rect competition with the Canadian fisher
men and our farmers and lumbermen with
the Canadian farmers and lumbermen. Ex-
perience has shown that the opening of our
markets to the Dominion fishermen means
ruin to our own fishermen, and our farmers
and lumbermen would have very sorry time
of it were the duty on such material as thew
produce taken off.
of course this treaty, if it has been nego-
tiated, must run the gauntlet Of the Senate
before it becomes valid. While that body is
constituted as at present, it is impossible for
it to get through. The Senate has already
declared in terms that are unmistakeabIe its
