TIL APACHE INDIAN.
Senator Fairs Proposition to Get Rid OF

Senator Fairs Proposition to Get Rid o.
Them.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Senator Fair, O.
Nevada, has written the following. letter te
the Secretary Of the Interior, setting forth
II plan for the settlement OF the Apache
question:
UNITED STATES SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April TO-.
To the Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar, Secretary Of The
DEAR SIR enclose a pamphlet Of which
L spoke to you yesterday. By examining
the map you will zee the exact position o.
the Santa Calina land. 1t is isolated and
too far from the shore for any boat to
reach it. My idea is that if the Apaches
were put on this island they would require
no guards and al that would be needed
would be a small steam tender and crew to
run between the island apd port OF Will
mington, for purposes OF communication
and supply. This would, in my opinion,
set the Apache question at rest forever,
would save the country many valuable
lives and the Government millions OF
money.
The title to the island is perfect, as near
as l can remember. The price asked by
viz 10 NASlCl 90 vi OF pei dCIS.
Owing to the location OF the island the eli
mate is as mild and salubrions as can be
found in the world. Should you look with
favor upon my suggestion as to the valne
OF this island for the purposes named I
shall be glad at any tim to go more into
detail with you on the subject.
1 am yours, very truly.
JAMES G. FAIR.
Senator Fair, when spoken to on the SUBJ
ject, said he really be'ived Tho Indians
would be pleased with the island after they
got there, although they might fight against
going. The island is situated in the Pacific
Ocean, about twenty-five miles southwest
OF Los Angeles. The climate, he said, is de-
lightful and fishing excellent. Should the
land be purchased, and Indians placed
thereon, it will forever put an end to the
annual summer raids of these Indians upon
unprotected white settlers and their fami-
lies, and the Government should take some
steps in this direction looking to the pro-
lection OF citizens.

the fact that during the three months

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 10.
1.-THE movement to push Judge Gresham for the
presidency, which originated in New York recently Ia
being actively supplemented in Indiana. There are
undoubted that the States being quietly but
systematically worked in his interest Governor Porter
attracted attention to Gresham by openly advocating
his claims at recent meeting of Republicans to or,

ary and to the official status of himself and
his wife in Washington society, but that is of
no consequence. The people are not con-
cerned about such matters, and least of all
the farmers. The question is whether the in
terests of agriculture would be benefited by
the change, and on that point we incline to be
skeptical. The present machinery and force
of the Agricultural Bureau are adequate to ac-
complish all that should be expected of such
an Office, if it is rightly administered. We
do not say the present Commissioner is not a
competent man, sincerely DESTROYS to do his
duty; but the bureau itself has always seemed
to be hampered in its operations, and has
never been regarded with much favor by in
telligent agriculturists. 1t will be time
enough, we think, to talk of erecting the
present bureau into department when it has
more fully demonstrated its efficiency and
practical usefulness.

AS specimen of the Democratic simplicity
now observable at the national capital, the de-
scription of the adornments of bride who
appeared at fashionable dinner is worthy of
mention: "She wore diamond ear rings and a
double string of diamonds around her neck, each
with a cross os large diamonds as a pendant.
Lace-pins set with diamonds were in the lace
down the front of the waist. On each arm was
a diamond bracelet One of these had star on
it, in the center of which was a very large dia-
mond. Her diamond engagement ring was worn
outside her white glove. On her head were a
tiara of diamonds and two diamond balls, which
were present from her husband, as were also
the diamond buttons which fastened her dress.
If il were not for the engagement ring outside
her glove, the dazzling brilliancy of the outfit
would suggest the return of the Queen of Sheba;
but this touch of nature makes her akin to the
girl from E5cruggs's Crossroads, and removes
all awe

THE RIGHT VINnInATED.

Judge Ayres, of the Civil Circuit Coult,
yesterday sustained the demurrer interposed
by Attorney general Kitchener to the bill of
Senator Green Smith, asking for restraining
vent the certifcation of votes cast for Lieu
tenant-governor at the late election to the
Speaker Of the House. When the argument
was made the able Democratic lawyers and
managing politicians who listened to the
speeches were in great glee because, as they
said, Mr.. Kitchener had missed the point in
the case, and treated the matter as an action
to try the title to an Office, instead of a
suit to test the question whether there was a
vacancy in the Office of Lieutenant
governor, and the election held last
month was constitutional and valid. There
was great clatter made over the eloquent
effort of Jason B. Brown, and the unanswer-
able argument of District Attorney Turpie
But it will be observed that Judge Ayres de-
cides the case upon the very point the Attor-
ney-general made, and distinctly AYERS that
the ''point" about which the able Democratic
lawyers made so much fuss, does not necessarily
arise 1t is promised that the case will go
to the Supreme Court, but we do not believe
that the decision of Judge Ayres, so mani
testify just and sound in law, will be dis
turbed Outside of the fimsv legal grounds
upon which Senator Smith bases his hopes,
his action is in nature and purpose revolution
airy, and courts will not look complacently
on suits of that kind The Democratic Su-
preme Court of Indiana has been taught a

pertinent very soon.

results, the first blood is for the people and

1T is gratifying to learn that the Indiana
coal fields were never as extensively or sys-
tematically worked as they are now, and that
the output this year will greatly exceed any
former one Several causes unite to this re-
suit. The superior quality of Indiana coal for
manufacturing purposes, on account of its en-
tire freedom from sulphur, makes for it a con-
stantly increasing demand and widening mar
ket. The facilities for supplying the coal have
kept pace with the demand. We have had no
extensive strikes, the miners have for the
most part kept steadily at work and the rail
roads have furnished every needed facility for
getting the coal to market The tapping of
new coal fields or hitherto inaccessible depos-
its by new lines of railroad during the last
year has contributed largely to the develop
ment of the mining industry, and added pro-
portionately to the general prosperity and
wealth of the State.

DIR. DARNEY,S CASE.

The indignation of the old soldiers at the ap-
pointment of DR.. Dabney, the alleged Ander-
sonville prison guard, as pension examiner,
has moved Gen. Black, Pension Commissioner,
He says: "Dg. Dabney was not born until
May 16, 1850, and therefore was only fifteen
expected, therefore, he never served in the
confederate army, and has yet to lay his ewes
on Andersonville" This carefully-worded de-
NAL will not bear scrutiny Gen. Black
says Dabney was born in May, 1850, "and
therefore, Els might be expected" never
served in the confederate army and never saw
Andersonville. 1t is not a question of what
might be expected, but question of fact
General Black volunteers his opinion that
Dabney was not a prison guard at Anderson
vile because he was not born till Nav. 1850
He does not base his denial on the record, nor
is it made on the authority of Dabney himself
1t is merely Gen. Blacks assumption that
Dabney was too young to have served as
prison guard at Andersonville. Admitting
that he was not born till May 49, 1850,
he would have been fourteen years
old in May, 1864, nearly year
before the war closed. 1t is
a notorious fact that many boys of fourteen,
or even younger, served in the confederate
army. The confederate authorizes 'robbed
the cradle and the grave" to fill their ranks.
Very young boys were put on guard and post
duty to relieve able-bodied men, who were
sent to the front. 1t does not follow, as Gen.
Black assumes, because Dabney was not born
till May 16, 1850. that therefore he never
