THE INDIAN COUNCIL.
Stubborn Chiefs of the Sioux Ma.
tiOn-Entimidat atiOn Pfacticed.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK, August
st is stated to-day's conference drew
out the fact that four chiefs, John Gross,
Gall, Mad Bear and Big Head, backed
by Sitting Bull, are holding the Indians
back from asserting to the act of Con-
gress by intimtdations. The chiefs we're
asked in open council, in the presence of
all the Indians, to get up and say that
every Indian might act as he pleased,
and accept or reject the offer of the
Government, and that in thus express
ing his mind, would give no ofense to
the Chiefs, aud would not be hurt or in
terfered with ON account Of his action.
The request was made and repeated
twice. The Indians looked at the Chiefs
and waited to hear reply. The Com
missioners stated that they regarded the
silence of the Chiefs as an admission
that they were keeping the people back
under intimidation, and that the people
were not allowed to speak their true SEN
timents. This caused considerable SEN
sation and the Commissioners adjourned
the council until Monday. Every pro-
vision OF the treaty has been explained
and all the objections answered. The
Commissioners still believe a favorable
result will be reached.
THE UTEs.
IGNAcIo, COL, August 3.-The South
ern Utes are all off from their agency
with their stock, and considerable time
must elapse before they can be brought
in for preliminary counsel. The work of
the Commissioners is made much harder
from the fact that the Government has
failed to pay them portion Of their
annuities, and the settlers in the county
and towns surrounding the reservation
have given them the impression that
they are to be forced to leave their reser-
vation whether they wish it or not. The
Indians are fully aware of their rights
under the existing treaty and will make
no change unless they can clearly see
their condition is bettered by it.

SUIT AGAINST THE CONSOLIDATED NINE.
Land Commissioner Stockslager, in a
letter to the Secretary of the Interior,
has recommended that the Attorney
General be requested to institute civil
suit against the Eureka Consolidated
Mining Company, operating in Nevada,
to recover So, 3,670,741 This sum, it is
alleged, represents the value of
charcoal, cordwood, manufactured
from cedar, pine and mahogony timber
unlawfully cut from public mineral lands
in Nevada, by or with the guilty knowl-
edge of the Eureka Company. A GRIM
inal suit is recommended against Henry
Donnelly, superintendent of the COM
pany's mines. These recommendations
are made upon report by Special Agent
Geo. d. Temple, who has just concluded
his investigation of alleged timber depre-
dations in Nevada. The principal office
OF the Eureka Consolidated Mining Com
pany is in San Francisco. The Commits
sioner admits that it was lawful to cut
| timber from public mineral lands for
| mining purposes, but asserts that the
company has violated the law respecting
the protection of young trees, and has
| ignored certain rules prescribed by the
| general land office, hence he recon-
mends the suits as stated.

del AmeIy Gonzales de la Rivera as

A Question of Schedules.

Mr.. Harrison says this campaign is
not to be fought out on the question Of
the relative merits of schedules more or
less parallel, or more or less antag-
onistic. The Republican Senate does
not agree with the five feet-fve states
man from Indiana. They are about to
submit new schedule of tariff duties to
Congress. 1t is now mere question OF
which schedule is the best, that proposed
in the Mills bill, or that to be proposed
in the Republican Senate bill. If the
Senate bill lessons the taxes on luxuries
and intoxicants, but maintains the full
burden of taxes on the necessaries ol
life, such as salt, clothing, coal, lumber
and other commodities which the poo,
as we'll as the rich must have at any
price; and the two parties shall go before
the country on the issue thus
put, then the Democracy has nothing
to fear. Our party thinks there is NO
good end to be reached by making
whisky obtainable at 25 cents a gallon,
and that the millionaire's household
should pay some adequate tax on the
luxuries and gewgaws used therein. We
also think it our duty to give the labor
ing masses as cheap houses, as cheap
clothing, as cheap food as possible.
Now let the Republican Senate proclaim
for free whisky, free altar of roses, low
priced kid gloves, but for dear shingles
dear salt, dear blankets and dear coal
If it be question of schedules of thit
sort, as it is likely-nay, sure-to be
then the people will very promptly le
Mr.. Harrison know that it is a question
of schedules, and that they know which
one is best for them.

The Republican Gerrymander.

There is much discussion in Los An
geles as to the apportionment of the city
into wards embodied in the proposed
new charter. No man can study this
distribution without arriving at the con-
clusion that six Republican, one Demo
cratic and two doubtful wards are created.
In other words, if the new charter hould
be adopted the government OF the city
would be handed over to the Republicans
practically for all time to come. 1t is
scarcely reasonable to suppose that our
friends the enemy would relinquish such
an advantage. They would hang on to it
with more than the traditional devotion
of death to dead African. No appor-
tionment is fair which throws the bulk
of the Democratic vote into a single
ward. By such a gerrymander the
Republicans might lose the city by seve-
al hundred majority and still have a two
thirds majority Of the Council. We un-
derstand that the Democratic City Com.
mittee are likely to issue an address to
Democrats counseling them to vote
against the new Charter. This is an ex-
cellent idea. The gerrymander Of the
White House precinct in the election o.
1856 is repeated and improved upon in
this contemplated new apportionment.

In q Nutshell.

A correspondent writes to ask if we
can give him the gist of the political stu
alton in nutshell. Yes; and we don't
need cocoanut shell either-an ordinary
filbert shell will serve our purpose. The
people of this country have fixed habit
of letting we'll enough alone. Grover
Cleveland has handled public affairs in a
way satisfactory to the business men and
workingmen of the country. They pro-
pose to allow him to do the same thing
four years more. There you have the
whole story.-fNew York Herald, lind }
And so it is the whole truth in a nut
shell. Washington succeeded himself.
The elder Adams did not for
the reason that ne was not
approved of. He was Federalist. JEFF
ferson succeeded himself, so did Madi-
son, 80 did Monroe. Then came the
second Adams who served one term.
Federalists were not in demand. Jack
son succeeded himself and Van Buren
would certainly have done 80, defeating
old "coon-skin," had it not been for gross
treachery in his own party. Polk and
Pierce were not men of much worth and
did nothing to greatly attach the country
to them. Taylor died and was a Whig
besides-a stripe of politics Americans
never took much stock in. 1t
was too like its progenitor, Federal
ism, which was too like in it's
family resemblance to Toryism. Blu.
chanan's was an epoch of radical change
and does not count. Lincoln was his own
successor, and so was Grant. Hayes
never was elected and was nonentity
during his term OF Office. Arthur was
an accident, like Tyler and Fillmore.
thus we see that out of twenty-four
elections to the Presidency not less than
fourteen OF them were cases of re-elec-
ton. Four incumbents died in
office and three were cases of men
OF little personal force of character. Van
Buren, suffered from the party knife, and
in Buchanan's case the war upset all cacu-
lations. Allthat is left is the Adamses. and
they were too much tainted with Feder-
allsm, or rather their following were too
much 80. Mr.. Cleveland has given the
country an honest, clean, courageous ad-
mlnistration. Business has been excel
lent during his term. The people are sat-
isfied with him and will re- elect him.

GENERAL HARRISON says never mind
the surplus. Let us buy bonds with it.
We have paid the bondholders during
the past few months bonus of nearly
if we recollect Alright, $50, 100000 to in
duce them to relinquish their bonds. Mr..
Harrison says in the language of Captain
Merrimac in Olivette, keep it up! Keep
it up!' Mr.. Cleveland says of the sur
plus, "Keep it downW Which pro-
gramme do the people want: War taxes
on the necessaries of life and bursting
surplus to redeem bonds for the benefit OF
multi-millionaires, or cheaper neeessaries
and no surplus by which the people will
be benefited? This is the question to be
decided at the polls next November.

RUMoR has it that the HERALD's sug-
gestion to build a boulevard from the
city to Santa Monica and the plan pro-
posed of obtaining franchise for toll
road, are being very favorably considered.
The idea is to make the charge merely
nominal-to raise sufficient revenue to
keep the road in repair and to sprinkle it
daily. The Board Of Supervisors may
fix the limit of the toll on this basis.
Many property holders along the route,
and many people in this city who desire
to have a good road to drive good horses
on are discussing the matter with much
earnestness.

Mr.. FoRD's committee to investigate
pauper labor brought out this, among
other things:
Mrs. Prestone learned dressmaking in
England, and says that for years she had
employment in London at "e100 a year
($5O0) and my board and lodging" In
this city she was recently offered "fifty
cents day" to cut and make children's
dresses. She used to earn "$lO to $12
a week" here, but says that "wages have
been reduced lower and lower each year
until now it seems almost impossible to
