primitive times an Aztec divinity,
Tonantzin ("the Mother of Gods'') was
worshiped at the shrine, where. the
Capilla del Cerrito of Guadalupe now
stands, and is the scene of the tradi-
tion Of 1881, according to which an
apparition appeared to the Indian
Juan Diego, who was on his way to
hear mass in the Church of Santiago
Tlaltelolco on the morning of Decem-
ber o, 1881. As he neared the hill
called Tepeyac he heard the
music of angels. Then he be-
held, amid splendors, a lady who
spoke to him, directing him
to go to the Bishop and say that it
was her will that in that place should
be built to her temple. Upon his
knees he listened to her bidding, and
then, happy and confused, betook
himself to the Bishop with the mes
sage she had given him. But while
the Bishop heard him with benignity
he could not give credence to the
prodigy that he was told. With this
disconsolate answer he returned,
finding there again the lady, who
heard what he had to say and bade
him come to her again. Therefore on
the Sunday ensuing he was at the
hillside, when she appeared to him
for the third time and repeated her
order that he should convey to the
Bishop her command that the
temple should be built. The
Bishop heard the message still in
credulously, and ordered that the In
dian should bring some sure sign by
which he might be shown that what
he told was true; when the Indian de
parted the Bishop sent two Of his SER
wants to watch him secretly. Yet. as
he neared the holy hill, he disap-
peared from the sight Of these watch
ers. Unseen then Of these, he met

THE CHIPPEWA TIMBER.

There seems to be good reason for be-
lieving that the complaints made by the
Chippewa Indians of Northern Wlscon-
sin, to the effect that the timber is being
stolen from theirreservation, unchecked,
by white men, rests upon some founda-
ton. At all events, the evidence
which the Indians adduce before
the senate investigating committee
is sufficiently strong to warrant
that body in making a searching
examination into the facts in the case.
The timber on the reservation owned by
the Indians is very valuable; sufficiently
so to excite the cupidity of the white
men who regard robbery from the Indl-
ans rather in the nature of virtue.
The government, however, is bound to
afford the Indians the fullest possible
protection. 1t is sacred obligation,
which it cannot evaae it it would. 1t
should, therefore, give earnest consider
alton to the complaints of the Chippe-
was.
Their timber is their sole valuable
possession, and they certainly have a
right to demand that it shall not be
stolen from them. But despite the safe
guards that be may furnished them, there
is really but one practicable method of
assuring to the Indians the benefit of
the valuable property which they own.
1t is the reduction of the reservation to
mnch narrower limits and the purchase
by the government of the surplus tim
Der lands. The money which would re-
suit from this purchase would consti-
tute fund sufficient to support the
Indians under government supervision
for the balance of their days. In its
present shape their timber wealth is of
but little use to them, and is constant
temptation to marauders. In its pos
session by the government both the In
dams and the lumbermen would be
better off. The senate committee should
not delay in reaching conclusion re-
garding the matter.

Gen. Wilder Relaues the Incident
Of His Surrender to Gen. Buck
or Eo.dxsIIo

Gen. Wilder Relates the Incident
of His Surrender to Gen. Buck
ner at MunfOrdviIle.
Gen. Wilder is here in the interest of
the Charlestown, Cincinnati & Chicago
railway. Gen. Wilder has a war incl
dent to relate which concerns himself
and Gov. Buckner, says special to the
Louisville Courier-JOurnal. During the
late strife he, with handful of militia,
was detailed to hold bridge in the vi
cinity of Munfordville, this state. While
they were there Gen. Bragg's army,
10000 strong, with 120 pieces of artil-
lery, came up and surrounded Wilder
and his squad. Some shots were inter
changed, when Wilder displayed flag
of truce. l happened that Gen. S. B.
Buckner was sent out to meet him.
"YOu are an educated soldier and a
gentleman" said Gen. Wilder to Gen.
Buckner. "You have been to West
Point and know how these things
ought to be done. Now want to ask
your advice. Would you fight or sur
render?'
''That is matter that you must de-
cide," responded Kentucky's present
chief executive. "There are times when
men should sacrifice themselves for
their cause. As for our forces. we have
enough men and guns to wipe you and
your men off the face of the earth in less
than two hours; you must select your
course"
"That being the case" replied Gen.
Wilder, "We will surrender. | fail to
see where a difference of two hours
time would affect our cause" and he
did surrender. Gen. Wilder is now one
of the richest men in Tennessee. and is
extensively interested in railway enter

SPRECKLES' FIGHT.

CLAUS SpREcKLEs, the Pacific coast
sugar king, has arrived in New York to
fight the Sugar Trust on its own ground.
He is prepared to spend 100000 in in
augurating the contest, and as much
more as may be necessary to carry it to
a successful conclusion. He is the only
man in the country in position to wage
war against the Trust in the peoples be-
half, and both press and people should
give him every encouragement.
Through the increase in price the trust
has already taken from the people of
the country, in the three months of it's
existence, something like S45,OOO,OOO to
pay substantial dividends upon stock
watered to three times its face value.
Not only does the Trust rob the people
thus directly. but it deals them blow
indirectly by sending annually out of
the country $50, 100000 of the money it
has exacted from them. The complete
overthrow of this state of things is what
SPRECKLEs will fight for, and it is
surely combat of which the people can
approve.
The Trust would have been very glad
to have enrolled the SPRECKLEs refner-
les in their service, but to man whose
fortune is counted by the millions the
financial inducements they were able to
offer presented no temptation. He has
made up his mind that the people need
a defender, and with true Western in
dependence has resolved to constitute
himself their champion.
OF course, if SPRECKLEs is successful
in the fight, and with proper support
from the people there is strong reason
for believing he will be, the profit &C.

THE MAIDS WE'RE LENIENT.
The Right of Women in the Isle
of Man.
Westminster Review.

Westminster REVIEW.
Manx legislators have shown more
favor to women than those of other
countries, for, as the writer in the
Woman's Suffrage Journal says: cal
though the wife did not retain separate
property after marriage, the common
property of the pair was not at the alb
sOlute disposal of the husband. The
wife retained an indefeasible right to
half of the common property on the
death of her husband. Out of this right
there grew custom which allowed the
wife to make will leaving her half of
the property to whOmsOever she pleased
at her own death, during the lifetime
of her husband. Thus it happened
to comparative poverty through
therefore pronounced restricting the
power of a wife to make such will.
and limiting her right over the half OF
her husbands property to cases where
she survives him." The same writer
quotes curious custom, which is to be
found in the ancient records of Castle
Mona, showing that for many centuries
Manxmen have bad chiyalrous regard
for the rights of women. A decree in
black-letter book ordains ''that if man
was proved to have wronged maid the
Deemster was to hand to her an ak,
rope and ring, that she might deal
with the recalcitrant lover. She had
the choice to behead him with the AK, to
hang him with the rope or marry him
with the ring" Tradition says the
maids were usually lenient.

whose claims will be based on the size
of the barrels they will be ready to tap
in the campaign. But, after all. the
chances are altogether favorable to In
diana enjoying the honor of having the
second place on the ticket.
The reasons for giving Indiana the
candidate for vice president outweigh
all the claims that are presented in
favor of other localities. Indiana and
New York are the two reliable
Democratic states in presidential
years, and that of itself gives
them a prestige. The successful
campaigns of 1s76 and 1884 have seemed
to link these two states together in the
Democratic mind, and it will be very
difficult now to put them asunder. The
only trouble that Indiana Will have IN
corralling the vice presidency is in the
rivalry among her own prominent poll
ticIans. 1t is Indiana'S misfortune to
be over-rich in statesmen on both SIDES
of the house. The Kilkenny cat fight
going on between GRESHAM and HAIR
RIsoN for the first place on the Repub-
lican ticket, and between GRAY, NC
DONALD and VOORHEES, for the second
place Oh the Democratic ticket, may re-
suit in complete knockout for Indiana
all around. With harmony prevailing
in the state, either GRAY, VOORHEES,
or MCDONALD would bring strength
to the national ticket; but unless there
is assurance of harmony Indiana Will
have to bide wee, and the Democratic
candidate for vice president will come
from some other locality.

MINNESOTA CANDIDATES.

In the will-o'- the-wisp chase the Re-
publicanS are having in search OF an
available presidential candidate, 1t IS
not singular that the Minnesota wing OF
the party should come to the front with
the names of some eminent Minneso-
tians. Each of the Twin Cities is ready
with candidate, and it is possible that
there are others in grooming. st. Paul
has her Gov. RAMSEY, and Minneapolis
is equally rich in the possession OF her
Gen. WAsHBURN. Both gentlemen
are better presidential timber than most
of the names that have yet been pre-
scented on the Republican side OF the
house. The Minneapolis Tribune has
taken off it's coat and gone to work III
most vigorous style to boom Gen.
WAsHBURN for the presidency. mas
much as the Republican press of ST..
Paul seem to be slow in taking hold OF
Gov. RAMsEY's canvass, the GLOBE
feels impelled to give the old Roman a
hoist. 1t is not in our line to boom Re
publicans into prominence, but as there
is nobody else to do it, and our sense OF
local pride will not permit us to remain
silent under such peculiar circum-
stances, we are going to exert our
best endeavors to attract the at
tention of the Republican machine,
when it convenes at Chicago, to the
available qualities of Gov. RAMSEY as
presidential candidate. We have no
quarrel to pick with our Minneapolis
friends for booming Gen. WAsHBURN.
They are doing the square thing by an
estimable man, and we are glad to see
their exhibition, of loyal devotion to
their most prominent citizen. We are
simply, in quiet way, administering a
rebuke to the Republican press OF this
city for not doing the same thing by the
old war governor of Minnesota. Coy.
RAMSEY has more of national reputa-
ton than Gen. WAsHBURN. He has
been in the senate and has held
a cabinet office, and there is no
reason why his name should not head
the list of Minnesota's presidential pos
sibilities. Of course, the Republican
nomination will only be an empty
honor, but if it is an ornamental figure
head for the ticket they are looking
after. then we insist that the Repub-
licans could go a great deal further with
the chances of faring worse than by
nominating ALEXANDER RAMSEY. And
if, by any sort of an accident, he should
slip into the presidential Office, the
country would have no occasion to re-

THE UNITED LABOR PARTY
To Hold Its National Convention
at Cincinnati MAY 10.

INDIANAPOLIS, March lin obedl-
ence to instructions of the national
committee Of the Union Labor party,
which held meeting iu this city on
March 6, Z. NJ. Gruelle, national chair
man, issued call for a national
convention to be held at Cincinnati on
Tuesday, May -, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for president
and vice president of the United States.
The basis of representations will be
two delegates from each congressional
district in the several states and terri
tories, and two delegates at large from
each state. The call concludes as fol-
lows:
"This is not movement of politicians,
intent on capturing the spoils of Office.
1t is an honest and determined effort on
the part of the people to accomplish In
their own behalf that which politicians
have failed to accompliSh for them. Let
the coming convention be the nucleus
for grand federation of labor. Let
us agree upon essential principles
common to all and leave the details Of
opinions and theories to be settled in
respective state organizations as the di-
verSified interests of the country may
demand. Let unity of purpose and ac-
ton be our air on this occasion, and thus
pave the way for certain victory"
