STARVING TO DEATH.
The Indians Of the Northwest Forced
to Cannibalism.

Winnepeg, Man, Sept. 2s.-A
terrible tale of starvation and desti-
tuition among indians comes from
Athabasca and the Peace river coun-
try in the form of a petition to the
minister of the interior for Canada.
It is signed by the Anglican bishop
for the diocese, six clergymen and
missionaries, and several justices of
the peace. This document, officially
passed by the synod of the Atha-
basca diocese, sets out that, owing to
the great mortality of beaues and
other small game, the Indians for
nearly year have been in per-
petual state of starvation. Their
food supply and their power Of pro-
curing clothing have been affected.
They are now in complete state of
destitution and unable to provide
themselves with clothing, ammu-
milton, etc, for the winter. Many of
their dogs $50 necessary to the Indi-
an for travelling and hunting) have
persisted, thus seriously Increasing
the difficulty of getting a living.
During the winter of 1867, on &C
count of starvation and consequent
cannibalism. party of twenty Cree
Indians was reduced to three. In
the Mckenzie river district there
were several deaths by starvation
and one or more of cannibalism last
winter, and among the Fort Chippe.
wanian Indians between twenty and
thirty starved to death. Within the
personal knowledge of the petition
ers many Indians, Crees, Beaver:
and Chippewanians, at almost al
points where there are missions Of
trading posts, would certainly have
starved to death but for the helI
given by the traders and missionaries
at those places, furnished very Otter
at great personal inconvenience
Many women and children are nov
perfectly helpless, and must starv'
to death or eat one another thi
winter unless help comes.

EDITOR TINES:
1t becomes nay painful duty to re-
flute an article published in your
issue of Sept. 26th. know not who
the author was, but the writer is
known and he must take the blunt.
He speaks of my novel way of re-
ducing the surplus in the United
States treasury; perhaps he does not
know the banks are loaned sixty
millions Of dollars, upon which they
do not pay one mill of interest, but
which, if the laboring men or farmers
want, they have to pay ten or more
per cent for the privilege of using.
He suggests to turn the surplus over
to the town council Does he intend
running for councilman again next
spring, and get there-provi ing his
own party does not slaughter hime
He speaks Of my keeping the money
in the iron safe at the court house,
where thieves could break through
and steal. No, no; the democratic
records of Bates county show it is
already gone, and nobody knows
where. Now, so far as his sug-
gestions go, they might be applied
to some of the old parties, but as far
as I am concerned, if elected, (and
I will not be slaughtered by the
party who nominated me) I will put
the money where it will be safe, and
account for it; also run the Office in
the interest of the people (and not
self, and no dictator need apply So
far as my being at Virginia is con-
cerned, it is false. Ihave never been
there but once in sixteen years, and
that was over FIVE years ago. As for
Mr.. Thompson, the people of Bates
county know him too we'll for me to
comment on his actions in this cause
Now, just a word in regard to the
late primaries: I have been inform
ed that my name was used to injure
one candidate for county surveyor
In reply will say, I never gave any
one authority to use it, and if it was
used it was done (maliclously) with
out my knowledge or consent.

The PusiIist Murderer's Identity.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 27.-It
is rumored in Minneapolis sporting
circles that the man who struck the
deadly blow in the fight at Grand
Forks last week was an eastern pugi-
list travelling under the alias Of
Barnett. It was also stated that he
was in Minneapolis yesterday and
took the evening train for the east.
"He was ringer that the Dakota
sports secured from the east for the
express purpose of doing Fulljames, F"
remarked local pugilist. 81 am
not sure that this is the man. but I
am informed by a reliable party that
he is the one that struck the blow
that killed Fulljames. OF course it
was only an accident and the au-
thorities should not trouble him"

Dyspepsia

Makes the lives of many people mis-
erable, and often leads to self-de-
struction. We know of no remedy
for dyspepsia more successful than
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t acts gently,
yet surely and efficiently, tones the
stomach and other organs, removes
the faint feeling, creates a good ap-
petite, cures headache, and refreshes
the burdened mind. Give Hoods
Sarsaparilla fair trial. It will do

OF GOOD HOTELS.

The GOLD LEAF has long and per-
sistently advocated the building Of
large and fast class hotel in Hender
son. There is need of such an in
stitution here. Good hotels, perhaps
should be classed ahead of good news
papers in the way of advertising and
building up a town. The Charlotte
Chronicle does not place too high an
estimate upon the value to that town
of its splendid hotel accommodations
when 1t says:
We do not, probably, give our
hotels full credit for what they have
done and are doing for the fair name
Charlotte sustains abroad. Faultless
creature comforts are always savory
among the "reminiscences of visits to
private domiciles or hotels Hotels in
towns may be called the public domi-
Giles Of towns or cities, as some has
said. When visitors are in our city
| every man and woman within our
limits can sleep sweetly in the happy
consciousness that all the guests of
the city are as we'll cared for as Crea-
ture comforts can make them. And
the men and women of the city whose
hearts swell with the greatest and
most refined city pride, and who are
most ambitious for the reputation of
the city in which it is known is located
their homes, can have no fears OF un-
pleasant memories of a visit during
which guests we're entertained in the
hotels Of the city. We can see at a
glance that this is a capital advan-
tage. Few better methods Of adver-
Using a city is attainable. We have
practically faultless hotels in the char
actcr of the accommodations offered,
and no city in the State, and no city
in the South of equal size can boast
OF hotel capacity equal to ours.

The Chicago NeaOs informs US that
our good friend c. II. Harris (Carl
PretzeD, editor of the Chicago SnN-
day National is the man who first
mentioned General Harrison for a
presid office. In 1870 Mr.. Har-
ris sent to the General for picture to
be used in his paper. Gen. Harrison
in reply said that he had no picture,
and very much doubted, if he had
one, whether it would advance his in
terests if the public saw it. And 50
here is more distinction for the jolly
Carl Pretzel. But was much easier
for him to name Gen. Harrison fol-
the Presidency than it will be to elect
him.

THE REPUBLICAN PRESI-
DENTAL CANDIDATE.

Day by day as flows one after an
other reveal themselves in the vulnera-
bic reco I'd Of Gen. Ben Harrison, the
Republican nominee for the Presi-
dency, the fatal mistake made by the
Chicago Convention is more and more
apparent. His nomination crea ted
very little enthusiasm at first and as
none of his history is made KIN own he
grows absolutely weaker. His record
is by no means one that'will stand the
test that will be applied to it by the
workingman.
As the Pittsboro Record says, Gen.
Harrison's vote on the restriction Of
Chinese immigration, when a member
Of the United States Senate, will
cause California and probably Colo
RADIO and Nevada to vote against him.
He has SO offended the Irish, that
New York (where there are so many
Irish will be sure to vote against him
The city of New York will give Cleve-
land the largest majority that any
Presidential candidate ever received.
Harrlson's own State, Indiana, will
vote against him, because of the oppo-
sition to him of the workingmen. In
1871 he commanded a company Of
troops called out to intimidate the
lab orerS who were on strike, and the
workingmen of Indiana will not vote
or him because OF that. The Labor
Signal, the organ of the workingmen
in Indiana, is opposing him with all
IS influence. In recent editorial
that paper said:
"Organized labor will decide the
Presidential contest this year, and it
is almost solidity arrayed against
Gen. Harrison. In our judgement
Mr.. Harrison's defeat is a foregone
conclusion. 1t did not seem possible
that a convention of sane men would
invite conflict with large number OF
voters in an extremely doubtful State
by naming a candidate SO obnoxious. -
The workingmen OF Indiana will
vote against HARRISON for President
just as they voted against him for
Governor. Why then should the
workingmen of other States vote for
him?

The so-called temperance resolution
adopted by the Republican Conven-
ton at Chicago will catch no voters.
The sham and hypocricy of the thing
is too apparent. 1t simply declares
that it favors temperance and morality
and what party or individual does
not? The drunken sot will preach
temperance if he does not practice it..
And liquor dealers and manufacturers
do as much. But read below. The
following resolutions were adopted by
the National Liquor Dealers Ass0-
citation at Chicago, OFT. 18th, 1886:
RrsoIved, That we recognize to its
fullest extent the duties and respon-
sbilities resting upon our Citizens,
and pledge ourselves to the faithful
performance of every duty.
Reso!0ed, That we most earnestly
favor temperance, and appeal to every
member of the trade to make proof OF
this declaration by his daily life and
daily conduct of his business.
That reads very we'll, don't it?
Now read the following resolution
adopted by the Republican National
Convention, and judge of its impor-
lance for yourself:
Res0lUed, That tbe first concern o.
good government is the virtue and
sobricty OF the people and the purity
of the home. The Republican party
cordially sympathizes with all WIS.,
and well-directed efforts for the pro
motion of temperance and morality.
