An official who has spent the best years
of his life in dealing with the crimes and
the people of Indian territory talked
freely about the condition of things there.
He said:
THE end of the present political con-
dition of the Indian territory is not far
off. 1 look for it within ten years. The
railroads, the great numbero of white men,
and the peculiar conditions existing there
are fastening a solution of the problem.
| find on talking with the principal men
among the Indians that they agree with
me. The railroads get no grant, but the
employees are allowed to settle on the
right of way. The towns are full of
white men without rights, and in such
numbers as to be undisturbed, and to
possess privileges that no one disputes.
1.-The manner in which the soil is
worked is most peculiar and forms one of
the greatest abuses and one of the strong
est agencies for the overthrow of the In
dian supremacy. The fact that the land
is rich and valuable, taken in conjunction
with the fact that the Indian does not
like to work. has naturally brought about
a condition in which the whites do the
work and take a large share of the profit
and give the Indian the rest. Under the
law no Indian can sell or rent his prop
erty, but he evades the law very easily.

man by pretending to hire him as a farm
laborer.. The white man, to all intents
and purposes, becomes the farmer and
manages the farm, and yet is registered
under the Indian law as q mere farm hand
hired by the land holder. The plan of
renting is called the third and fourth sys-
tenn. the white man paying the Indian
one-third of the yield of corn or a fourth
of the yield of cotton.
'"This evasion of the law hat brings
whites in to operate the farms, the inter
marriage of whites among the Indians by
which the whites become entitled to a
full citizens share of the land as if they
were Indians, are all weakening the In.
dian hold upon his own territory and
tending to bring the present system to an
end. What then2 That is a serious and
peculiar question. An evil of great mag
nitude has been allowed to grow up in
the territory. Enterprisfng Indians, half
breeds and whites who got full rights by
marrying squaws, have done what you or
| would under the law-accumulated large
holdings. Many have 5000 to 10, 1000 or
even 10000 acres in their claims. The
law says that a man belonging to any Of
the nations may pre-empt a quarter of a
mile around his cabin. The e%nterprising
man takes that quarter of a mile, goes a
quarter of a mile further on and takes an
other claim and so gets all the land that
he could improve and till."-New York

Wood for the xnlophone.

81 was the inventor, or introducer, more
properly speaking, of the xylophone, which
instrument you know is composed of a
series of wooden bars arranged like the
metalaphone on a frame"
"You were not the inventor of the XVI
ophone, then?'
Il might be so called, 1 suppose; but
the Chinese, l believe, were the real in
ventors of that kind of instrument. l
think there is one made by the Chinese in
the Smithsonian institution. This nation
also invented the system of producing
musical notes from stones or pieces of
Lletal suspended from a frame"
"Do other manufacturers besides your
self make xylophones2"
Eyes; but l stand practically alone as a
maker of the finest variety. When l in
troduced the X~ylophone into orchestras
some years ago they became so popular
that a large demand for them was felt.
To supply this demand many makers of
musical instruments went into the manu-
facture of cheaper grades, and they are
now sold as low as fifty cents. 1 still,
however, get my original price of $15."
What is the best wood for this pur-
poser"
Il have finally settled upon locust after
trying every other kind. The advantages
possessed by locust are that it is more
elastic and less oily than other woods. It's
funny, too, how I happened to think Of
locust. | was standing talking to a friend
late one evening on a street corner, when
a policeman sounded his club upon the
pavement. The quality of the musical
note 1t made attracted my attention, and
as l knew policemen's night sticks were
made of locust l tried the same wood sue
c~essfully on the xylophone. Brooklyn

a Livelihood in the City.

In a great metropolis like New York, the
methods by which people earn a livelihood
are immensely varied. An Did man who
goes about from house to house begging for
old tin cans says he makes a very good living
by rolling out the sheets and then printing
small signs on Them. a New Yorker makes
uu income OF $4,000 to $4,000 a year rs a
broker of manufacturing buildings and sites.
Perhaps the oldest trade is that of tho man
who goes around to the ragpickers and buys
from them all the perfect paper bags which
they gather. Paper bags arc so cheap when
new that it would seem impossible that any
one could make a living from buying and
selling second hand ones. The demand for
them, however, is very great among the
small fruit stands which are to be found in
all Of the principal streets. These fruit
dealers, by the way. generally ave u secret
arrangement with employees in the bag stores,
by which they get a generous supply of paper
bags in exchange for fruit This accounts
for the fact that on almost every fruit stand
can be seen an assortment of bags bearing
the imprint Of drygoods, grocery and other
houses. New York Tribune.

LOADED SHOTGUN SHFlI LIS.
With Peters Patent F~asteningsf for Cartridges.
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. RecoI Diminished and
Fouing of Gun Chamber Prevented.
rho Feters Cartridse Company

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, botk
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the lamentations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines are run by steam and are auto
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act of loading. The extra size ana quality of the wads
hold back and develop the full strength of the charge, and render
especial Smith or Parker loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful movement the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The lamentations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crimp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouling of shell chamber
and leading of shoulder. The recoil is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most Aattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sportsmen are alike delighted. For sale by

selves very rarely touch meat. living
upon rice. vegetables and milk. Once
even the poorest could have all the milk
he wanted for his babies and himself, but
now it is impossible for the villagers to
get milk even for infants whose mothers
breasts awe failed, and the failure of the
breasts is due chiefly, also, to the lack of
cows milk. Thousands of children die
on this account yearly.-Chicago Herald.

ARREARS OF PENSIONS.
To widows Of Soldiers who Served i'll
the war of the Rebellion.

The President has approved the
act of Congress providing that pen
sions heretofore or hereafter granted
to widows Of soldiers of the War Of
the Rebellion shall commence at the
date of the death OF their husbands.
The legislation favora bly, affects all
claims of widows of the late war
which have been filed in the Pen
sion office on or after July /, 1880,
and which have been allowed pen
sions, having already been granted
in those cases from the date of
their husbands death. The Com
missioner of Pensions gives notice
that in the settlement under this
law of claims already allowed, no
formal application will be required,
and that the services of attorneys
will not be necessary. Widows en-
titled under said law need only to
write a letter giving name, Post
Office address and certificate num-
Der, and the claims will be allowed
with as little delay as practicable.

eye is moist and many a lip is
trembling as the recollection of
his gallant deeds comes into mind.
The picture of the noble soldier, the
best beloved of all, battling with
every breath for existence, striving
with every nerve to put down the
enemy that is upon him, is one pres
ent to all, and on which they linger
with tender thoughts in the midst
of tie most pressing cares and in
terests. The news that issues from
the sorrowful chamber in which he
lies is eagerly sought and watched,
and every ray of hope is hailed with
delight, in the expectation that lie
may after all, as has been the habit
of his career, come out victorious.
The body of the soldier has been
brought down, but the spirit is still
paramount, strong and unyielding
as in the old days, and it shall be
found there, stcadfast and true,
to the very climax of the battle.

The symptoms of Biliousness are IN.
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom u
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and DiarrhWa or Constipa-
ton may be a symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often Hem
orrhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddinesS and often headache
and acidity or hatulence and tender
ness in the pit of the stomach. TO cor.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

hEf DLlCAN CUUNIT CUNVENIIUN,
AS in one week from today the
Republicans of Essex County will
meet in convention, it may be well
to say word in relation to the duty
of the voters. As much as has been
sand on this subject, and as well as
we all know our duty in respect to
primary meetings, how much do we
fall short of its performance! If it
is important to elect good men to
Office, if it is important to maintain
our principles, and if harmony is
desired, the voters cannot excuse
themselves from seeing to it person.
ally that the work of the convention
is not neglected. If the interests of
the party require a particular man
to he nominated it should be looked
to in the convention. If reasons ex-
list why particular man should not
be nominated they should be urged
there. Just now, throughout the
entire country, much is being said
about combinations and machine
politics. Let the people attend the
conventions and then if any COM
bination exists they will all be in
cluled in it. The few can only
make up the slate W hen the public
permit them to; and that permission
amounts to almost an acquiescence,
making those who neglect to attend
only little less censurable than
those who do attend and do the
work. What is there in the organ
ization or conduct Of a convention
which prevents any voter partici-
pating in it and freely expressing
his views! A free, fair expression
of the opinion Of the voters in con-
vention is as important as full vote
at the polls. Let all turn out who
possibly can. Look over our officers.
See who has done his work well,
who ought to be retained, and who
rejected, and what new untried men
ought to be put in place. Fault
finding after the convention always
produces results which any true and
good man will regret, and however
much occasion there may be for it,
it never remedies but always aggra-
Yates the evils to which it is aimed.
The HERALD does not deem it
part of its mission to labor with the
voters for the success of certain can
didates for Offices in the gift of the
county. We believe we do our full
duty as member working men,
ber-of the Republican party, if we
in our journalistic capacity espouse
the principles of the party of our
choice. We will not, however, dis
courage any communication which
any citizen may see fit to make
through our columns in reference to
particular candidates, but, on the
contrary, invite them, because there
may be local and particular consid-
erations for the better accommoda-
tion of localities which it may be
wise to discuss, and which is the
right and the duty of citizens to
suggest.
We are glad to congratulate the
voters on having had faithful and
honest officials during the past two
years and hope that we may be
equally fortunate i'll the years to
come. The convention is to be a
mass convention, and we hope to
see an unusually large attendance.
And, above all things, let us be can
did, conciliatory and unselfsh, and
have true expression of the wishes
of our people, procured with lively
interest, but without undue influence
