Indian Wives OF White Men.

A lady who some time ago became
much interested in the statement, con-
tradicted at the time, that Gen. Sib-
ley's first wife was a woman of the
Chippewa Nation, speaks in the pleas
ATTEST terms of her recollections of the
early days when many men who have
since become prominent in the States
history had homes presided over by
wives in whose veins the Indian blood
was uncrossed.
"They were pleasant and hospita-
BILE class of women" she says, "rather
taciturn sometimes, but women never
theless, and good ones, too. Living
always in the drudgery from which no
Indian female ever escapes in the soci-
ETY. of the savage bucks no wonder
that squaws were only squaws at any
period of development, but when
placed among the more refining infiu-
ences of white homes and white hus-
bands these Indian women made won
derful progress, and made loving wives
and mothers and kind neighbors. You
must remember, too, that the men
who married Indian women in those
days up here were men in every sense
of the word, not brutes and renegades
like the 'squaw men of whom you read
in the West to-day. y."-Minneapolis

and 10 this end the organization OF the Prohibit.
tion party is imperatively demanded In State
and nation.
IS. That any form OF license taxation or reeu-
lation OF the liquor traffic is contrary TO good
government; that any party which supports reg
ulation by license or tax enters into an alliance
with such traffic and becomes the actual foe of
the states welfare, and that we arraign the Re
publican and Democratic parties for their per-
sistent attitude in favor OF the licensed iniquity
whereby they oppose the demand OF the people
for prohibition and through open completely with
the liquor cause defeat the enforcement Of law.
a. For the immediate abolition of the internal
revenue system, whereby the National Govern
ment is deriving support from our greatest ma
tional vice.
IS. That an adequate public revenue being nec-
essary, IL may properly be raised by impost du-
ties, but impost duties should be so reduced that
no surplus shall be accumulated i'm the Treasury
and the burdens OF taxation should be removed
from food, clothing and other comforts and
necessaries OF life, and imposed upon such arti-
cles of import will give protection both TO the
manufactures, employer, and producing labor
against the competition of the world.
%. That civil-service appointments for all civil
offices, chiefly clerical I'm their duties, should be
based upon moral, intellectual, ana physical quail
ifications, and not upon party service or party
necessity.
~. That the right Of suffrage rests on no mere
circumstance OF race, color sex, or nationally,
and that where, from any cause, IL has been held
from citizens who are ofsuitable age and mental
ly and morally qualified for the exercise of an in
telligent ballot Il should be restored by the peo-
pie through the Legislatures OF the several States
on such educational basis as they may deem WISE
-s. For the abolition OF polygamy and the es-
tablishment OF uniform laws governing marriage
and divorce.
80. For prohibiting all combinations OF capital
to control and TO increase the cost of products for
popular consumption.

Text of the Platform Convention Pro.
Ceedings-Enthusiasm and
Sentiment.

Nearly two hours before the time set for the
opening Of the National Prohibition Convention
at Indianapolis on Wednesday, May 80, delegates
began to assemble in Tomlinson Hall. There
were number OF farmers among the delegates,
and their habits Of early rising made the delay
irksome, so they got together in the rear of the
hall, and made speeches and cheered to their
hearts content. The galleries were crowded
with visitors long before the convention was
called TO order. Many were unable to get even
standing room. The delegates manifested a
striking fondness for decorating themselves with
badges, many wearing several light and fiutter-
ing bits of fringed ribbon, to nearly all of which
medallions Of Gen. Fisk were appended. The
hall was admirably adapted for great gathering
like the convention, well lighted, and with fair
acoustic properties. From the paneled ceiling
hung colored banners, and succession OF
Prohibition notices decorated the front OF

Upon this the two shook hands, and the whole
body rose to their feet and cheered for several
minutes.
the convention ON this question, but when the
vote was taken ON substitution only about seven
ty out of over a thousand delegates favored the
step backward This decisive vote was followed
by scene Of wild confusion. Delegates mounted
their chairs, cheered, swung hats, handkerchiefs,
and canes, and down the cheeks of many rolled
tears of Joy. 1t was fifteen minutes before the
pounding of the Chairman with his gavel could
be heard beyond the platform.

The Prohibition party is, therefore, committed
70 the advocacy Of woman suffrage as n national
Issue, although the platform declares prohibition
TO be the paramount issue. The remainder of
the platform was adopted without delay. A
ga declaring I'm favor OF equal civil and political
rights for ALL coupled with the promise 10 defend
them, was adopted.
The platform adopted Is as follows:
"The Prohibition party, I'm national convention
assembled acknowledging Almighty God as the
source Of all power In government, does hereby
declare:
Il. That the manufacture, importation, expor-
tation transportation, and sale Of alcoholic bev-
erages shall be made public crimes and prohibited

concurred in and the Permanent Chairman was
escorted TO the platform.
Gov. st. John was introduced by Temporary
Chairman Delano In a few felicitous words.
Gov. st. John responded happily, compliment
ing Mr.. Delano upon his worlfin in the temporary
organization, and saying that he would rather
preside over this convention than be elected
President by the rum power. He spoke encourag-
ingly OF the outlook. "The old parties, he said,
ARE giving way. and our leaders fearing the
fall OF the republican Babylon, have concluded
not TO be crushed In the fall" He concluded with
a reference TO the lack of sectionalism In the
Prohibition party and asked that the convention
do such work as will cause future generations 10
rise up and call IL blessed.
A memorial was presented from the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union asking
that the platform include plank declaring

Historical Cads.

Robert Louis Stevenson seems to re-
gard Napoleon as the ideal cad of his
tory, so far as absence of gentlemanli-
ness. Grant, he thinks, could not be
called fine gentleman, but he can be
called great one; citing as proof his
adroit mode of avoiding to humilate
Lee at the time of surrender by taking
the sword that had been presented to
him, instead of which he overcame an
awkward situation by saying all officers
were to keep their side arms. "Scott.

but never in my life have | known what
it was to ride behind trotter until sat
behind that most magnificent stallion.
He seems as dOcile as lamb, and has a
disposition that would do credit to fond

rein; and when he sings out to him

upon Tell rs the fastest trotting stallion
on the island, and that trot did not lower
him any in my estimation, for the season
of the year and the cold and unfavorable
spriug gave a small chance for horses to
get in any kind of fix; and, the heavy
weights and bad track considered it was
honorable to the defeated as well as to the
victor, although Messenger was so lame
from bruised heel that two days after
it broke and discharged to such degree
that many wondered that he ever stood
up in the trot as he did but where there
is any Messenger blood there is always
game-and when you come to cross the
Messenger with the Morgan, you get a
horse in which there is no such a word as

Breeders and lovers of good horses in
this vicinity will regret to learn that this
famous sire and successful trotter is about
to leave the country. Addison Lambert

II. Cults of the Brookside Farm, Orwell,
VT, who bred and has always owned
him, to Mr.. Page B. Potter of Middle
bury, to be taken to Buenos Ayres, where
a number of his get have already gone.
The excellence of this stock created the
demand which has resulted in the pur-
chase of the sire for the same market.
He made his record of 2 ~ in 1879, his
only season on the turf, and in his only
race ever made on mile track. Since
that time he has made continuous and
very successful career in the stud, enrich
ing his patrons with a superb line of road

been race winners. He also leaves a

Dear Sir Mr.. Bartholomew (the old
gentleman) told me that years ago, about
1910, he traded two bay mares to Mr..
Manchester; that one of them had white
marks, the other not. He also told me
that one of them he bred and one he
bought. Please find out for me which
one he bred, the one with white marks
or without, and oblige

gentleman says about the mares the one
he raised had white marks on He bought
one of Mr.. kellicutt to match one he rails

1t will be seen from the above that
Mr.. Bartholomew sticks to the point that
the mare he bred, got by Barney Henry,
was the one of the pair that had the
white marks. 1t is in evidence that this
mare was the dam of WHITEHALL Ed.

mare owned by Amos Allen had any
white on her, or was she solid bay? Do
you remember the horse called Barney
Henry. and should you think this mare

give me the breeding of this horse Bar
ney Henry? Did you know a young man
named Rogers who had charge of Barney
Henry at one time many years ago, and
do you know whether he is still alive

these questions, and still further much

mare that you refer to had snip on the
nose; might have had white on one hind

horse Barney Henry l know nothing
about, neither do know the man Rogers.
There was a horse owned in East White

you have reference to. This all took
