Letters have been received at Wash
ington within the past few days from
New York and Indiana written by men
infiuentIally connected with the man
agement of the republican campaign in
those states aud these letters announce
that Harrison and Morton can be defeat
ed only by fraud and that every effort
is being made to prevent it. Chairman
Quay has 1000 detectives at work in
New York city alone, and he says il fraud
is practioed he will fill the prisons with
democrats on election day. Over 100000
is being spent by the republicans to pre-
vent fraud in New York city alone. De-
tectives have been stationed all along
the southern border of Indiana to keep
out democratic repeaters. Democrats in
Warrington oonoede thss the republi-
cans will come up to New York city with
10000 plurality, but say that will be
overcome, Republicans say it cannot be
overcome, except by fraud. Blaine went
into the city with but 62 900, and came
within ], 100 of election.

Indians generally that the possession oil
too much money must retard tie pre-
gIess of civilization among the Indians
We're there plenty of funds in the treas-
urY to support the luuiuus they would
not work, and would cling to their tribal
relations and traditions. The OsaRes ol
indian territory are an example OF this.
They are the wealthiest in the United
States. They have, in addition to the
posse es,ion of plenty of lands for theis
support and for farming purposes, q
fund in the United States treasury the
interest OF which is sufficient to give
every family OF five persons $500 per
year. They have SO much money that
one halt of the annual income is with.
held by the government and yearly goes
to increase the large principal. receiving
B per cent per year there now. The re-
suit OF this wealth is total ssoppage of
civilization among the 0sages. They
don't WORK themselves, but hire white
men to work their lands and still cling to
their tribal relations and refuse to take
lands IN severalty. The same difficulty
is experienced with other Indians having
money sufficient to buy them food and
clothing. It is quite likely that the
concessions made TO the Indians will all
be added to the amendment to be made
to the act at the coming session OF CON.
grese, but 1t is about settled that unless
oyertures some from the Indians no
further negotiations will take place.

eel, culinary and sscramental purposes

tions OF the law. His business in the
sale OF liquor for other purposes without

head OF interstate commerce, controlable
only by congress, and the state law if il
sought to prevent that commerce came
IN conflict with the constitution OF the
United States. He also claimed that the
statute legali2ed the manufacture of al.

reconized the fact that it was o legiti-

now the United States supreme court

4 statement is telegraphed from Grand
Folks that the congressional headquar.
ers.of Judge Bierly ere much excited
over information from Washington that
Governor Church has been summoned
to the white house to receive his die
missai as governor of Dakota. II is
stated that DE-. Goudy, of Grand Forks,
has received information to this effect
from Washington. Governor Church
has gone east. ostensibly to New York
but his Grand Forks opponents claim
that this is only ruse, that his real des-
tination Is Washington and that his dis
missal is now matter of few days
only. 1t is related that Cleveland has
decided to decapi ate the governor of
Dakota with the purpose OF strengthen
ing himself in the doubtful states and
gaining the friendship OF those who have
resisted the outrages of the administra-
tion against Dakota. All this comes
via the Bierly headquarters because
Bierly IS the representative and con-
gressional candidate of the large demo-
cratic element in Dakota which Is ar
rayei against the Church administration
and its congressional candidate, Pro-
fessor Harden.
II may be that the heart of Cleveland
has been touched-that is, his political
heart. The anti-Ohurch democrats in
Dakota are fully as numerous as she
Church democrats, il not more numerous,
and it may be the president realizes the
necessity of giving heed to their COM
plants, laid before him in detail through
the Bierly charges. 1t il should happen

A Pathetic Border Funeral,

1t was a touching sight to see how the
boys stood around the dead body of
Briggs and endeavored to hide emotion
and failed. The tears ran down the
face of Arkansaw Bob like rain off the
gable end of a corn-crib, and Ted Will
liams and jim Henderson and several
more bowed their heads while their
forms shook with the sobs they would
not allow to escape. The boys dug q
grave on the banks of the Brazos river,
and that night as the clouds drifted
away and the moonlight fell upon the
s~now-covered ground and sparkled the
laid poor Briggs down in his narrow
resting-place. The only requiem that
was sung was the oar Of the turbid
Brazos as it surged along on its way to
the sea-a mass sung by nature. When
the grave had been filled jim Hender-
son said: 81 think we ought to have
some kind Of service. 1t amt right, by
a darn sight, to GO away without sayin'
sOmthin' over the grave-any you fell
lows got a Bible?" Noone had a Bible,
nor had any one seen one in a number
of years. "Well, suppose some one says
u sort of prayer" The boys scratched
their heads. glanced at n another for
a moment,and then looked away off into
the woods. Finally some one whispered.
'Sish! Arkansaw Bob's goin' to pray"
and he did.
40, Lord!" he said; ~ guess in your
opinion Pm pretty tough, but | amt askin'
nuthin for myself-it's for Briggs. He is
dead now, but was as white q man as ever
walked. He never did no man a hurt, and
he had a heart in him as big as a mule, and
no one as I've heard ever said q word agin
him. l don't know as what 1 say will have
much influence, but Briggs stood well with
us down here, and although l don't know
much about his career, or his history, or his
family, he was a man you could bank on
every clatter. He gave a sick Mexican 81, so
once for medicine, aud then turned right
around and nursed him through a fever, but
the Internal Greaser hadn't been well more'n
two days before he stole Briggs saddle-bags.
All! Lord, there amt any preacher nowhere
round here, or we'd had him 10 say some
thing more printed to you than l can say it.
l never battered any with the Bible, and
can't Just remember a hymn song, but I'm a
man of my world mean what | say-and
Briggs, if he gets a chance, will make a good
record in heaven as any one that ever got
there. He had, away down in his heart,
something that was square and as true as
steel and, o, Lord! you mustn't go back on
that kind of a man, cause they're too skeerce
in these parts. Amen"
The prayer was as rough as Bob, but
no more sincere, as was evidenced by
his fearful eye and trembling lip. After
the prayer. the boys ranged themselves
on one side Of the grave, and, drawing
their s~iX-shooters, fired a salute Ove
their dead comrade, and while the
sharp reports'were still echoing through
the forest, they turned and left the

sessed for excessive boozing. The
case of Irven Landon, charged with the
larceny Of Il clock, was called and four
witnesses examined. There was some
doubt in the mind of the court as to tho
prisoners guilt, and the case was con-
tinued until other witnesses could be
