SEVEN TUsAYAN VILLAGES.

Mr.. Mendeleff has comprehensive photo
| graphs of the seven Tusayan villages Each
village consists of fifteen or twenty houses
and each house of several residences. The
house is a series of terraces receding as they
rise The first story is about seven feet high,
and is approached from without only by a
ladder, which leads to hole in the roof In
war times the ladder is always pulled up.
From the rear of this story rises the second
story, seven feet higher, mounted also by a
ladder, and other ladders lead TO a third and
perhaps fourth story. Of course, the first
story under this arrangement is Of much the
largest and the upper story of much the
smallest area, and as the latter is the light
est, the best ventilated and tho safest, being
denfensible from all the roofs below, it is the
favorite hubitation, and usually occupied by
the officers and the aristocracy. 1t Is esti-
mated tnat in all the seven Tusayan villages
there are 1000 persons They livemanly on
Indian corn, squashes and beans. They are
under Mormon influence and will not per-
init n census or hold much intercourse with
Americans. Col. and Mrs. Stevenson had
trouble with them, and were compelled to de-
part Mr.. MendelefR and his party were
treated remarkably well, and are puzzled in
trying to account for it,
Perhaps the oddest thing" added Mr..
Mepdeletf, after a moments pause, sis the
status of woman in these queer communities.
She owns ell the houses and most of the
property. The man owns the crop in the
field, but as soon as it is harvested it belongs
to his wife She controls the house and all
that is in it. SIe works steadily and oon-
stantly in the duties of the household, but
she does no field work, and, taking it all
together, her condition compares favorably
with that of the American farmers wife.
The descent Of oil property is in the female
line and through the mother; it is she who
makes the will and provides for the offspring"
''What does the man own, then2" asked.
"The donleys, perhaps" he said; "but I |
am not sure about that
"And the lands"
"No, the land is not owned individually. |
Ever since before historic time land has been |
owned by the whole nation, on the Henry |
George plan If an Indian goes out and |
takes up some land not in use and cultivates
it nobody can take it from him. But if he
stops using it anybody else can jump it. 1t
belongs to the fellow that can use it"
"How does that workY'
"There are no millionaires. There is about
he same degree, of comfort that there is
among very poor people anywhere, As to
and, the shrewdest and snartest Indian
to get the best, the same as under
my system. Washington Cor. New York

California all RI hit.

The people of California are greatly
eaied over the approval of the Chinese
exclusion bill by President Cleveland.
Public demonstrations are being held at
all points rejoicing over the event. A
San Francisco dispatch of Oct. ., says.
From all parts of California reports
came in last night and today to the DEM
ocratic state central committee declaring
that Cleveland's action IN signing the
chinese bill would give the democrats
the state. The occasion was celebrated
mere last night by great torchlight pro-
cession, most of the members being pro
vided with tin horus An immense mass
meeting was = also held. Nothing since
Harris9n' nomination has given the dem
ocrats so much encouragement as Cleve-
lands anti Chinese message. Its force
was strengthened by fhe confident declar-
atoms OF the republican papers for several
days that be was certain to veto
the bill Democratic speakers pointed
out that CLEVELAND was the first president
who had helped California in her long
fight against the Chinese. Hayes vetoed
the fifteen passenger act, Garfield op.
posed the exclusion bill and Arthur OPP
posed the twenty-year restriction bill.
Harrison never had word to say against
Chinese immigration until he was can
didate for the presidency. These facts
have weight with the workingmen here
and will cost the republicans many thou
sand votes The betting shows the POI
litical drifts. Last week several republi-
can. bet 5000 to 50 500 that Harrison
would carry California provided Cleve>
land vetoed the Chinese bill, When the
message came yesterday the bets were
declared off, as the republicans would not
risk even money on the result.

Mr. George Kennan, who has recently
sprung into such fame as a Siberian traveller,
Is not at all the sort Of person one would
fancy from his writings In appearance he
is slender, pale and shy, and his manners are
retiring and modest. He must have started
with constitution of iron, and he is much
tougher now than he looks He is in the
employ Of the Associated Press at Washing
ton, where he does valued but unnoticed
routine work For years he helped out his
salary by lectures in small places on bis wan
behring's, which we're always attractive but not
striking enough to give him general repu-
tation. But his chance came when The Cen
fury opened its pages to his story.
This may safely be said Of it, that KEENAN,,
unlike many travellers both before and after
Mendez, sticks to the truth. He can afford
to do so, for he has had some Of the toughest
adventures man ever lived through to tell
about. He has told me of one Of these expe
riences which have not seen in print. While
on one of his Siberian trips he was attacked
by fever, and lay for three weeks delirious
in squalid hut on a sheepskin for bed,
quite alone and helpless, save for the friendly
care Of the natives Such an episode as that
would have made most men content after
ward to stay nearer home, especially IL they
had SO charming woman for a wife as Mrs.
Kennan is But off he went again, on some
incredible jaunt as soon as he was able to
to start.-Once Week.

posed a tax on that product, by saying that
the tax referred to was an internal tax, to
all of which he WAS opposed except that on

he settled this year, one way or the other,
for generation, and referring to Great
Britains trade, said that although that coun-
try supplied all her cclonies-over 2UO, 900. OoO
people-with her manufactures, she knew
that the market mac, by the Is, 900 900
Of American people was worth all the rest
and she wanted to get footing here, and
the Democracy were doing what they could
to help her. Mr.. Blaine then said:
There is an advantage in free trade under Ger
tain conditions and within certain limits With a
population Of 65.oodoo in thirty eight states and
eight territories. we have $4,000 squire miles of
territory with l50o0miles of ocean front.

New YORK, Oct ga mass mseting, re-
markable for its high representative charac-
ter, at the Cooper union, last night, nomi-
mated Hon A s. Hewitt for reelection as
mayor. A Republican, Jacob Vermiiye,
president Of the Merchants bank, presided,
and in his address declared that party lines
should disappear in the presence of a great
opportunity To confer a boon upon the whole
people by continuing Mr. Hewitt in the
mayoralty These sentiments were re-
echoed by the other speakers, Democratic
AMI Republican alike.
James c. Carter, president of the Bar as
ISOLATION, made a striking speech urging the
absolute need of divorcing municipal gov.
eminent from party politics. He said that
Republican and Democratic politicians pool
their Issues to rob the people whenever a fat
thing like the aque,.:ct contract is in sight,
aud declared that the 1niy- remedy was to
elect men because of their Known honesty and
business capacity, without ,egard to politics.
The mayor of New York has absolute power
of appointments controlling q, 900 employees,
and has the control of disbursements
amounting to sl5,00O000 year,
beside a voice in disposing of the
rest of the 81, 10000 raised by
local taxation every year an amount greater
than were for many years the expenses of
the national government. IL was a danger
Gus power, but there were men in whose
hands it was safe power. The problem
was to select the right man. We had proved
MIR Hewitt to be one and it would be very
risky experiment with any untried man so
| long as Mr. Hewitt was available. The par
tisans insist upon offering some one else.
| We will reply: "The fact that that you are
| partisaus and are working for your selfish
interests is enough to condemn your choice
as compared with the non-partisan choice of
the business aud social interests of the city"
Resolutions embodying the views e1-

1t must be remembered that the tendencies
Of the age, while leading people toward
towns, do not lead them to concentrate in any
single center, but rather to the creation of
series Of detached points Railways and
telegraphs make it easier to live in cities, but
they also make it easier to go away from
them and create new cities. New York is
far less Of metropolis on the American con-
tinent than was the case forty years ago.
can remember when in travelling at the west
any intelligent person would buy q New York
daily paper twenty-four hours old in prefer
ence to any western paper of that very morn
ing. The telegraph instantly changed all that
the Omaha or Kansas City paper contains
substantially the same telegraphlc news with
the New York dailies, and the latter have
shrunk to a mainly local circulation. The
same process goes through everything, and
no matter how the self styled metropolis
grows, it is checked and limited by all other
cities. The same thing is true, to smaller
extent, in England itself; the American visi-
tor is surprised to tind that to know even the
political currents of the nation one must
now look outside of London; Edinburgh is
reasserting itself, while Manchester and BIZ
mingham have emphatically their own opin-
ions.-"T W Il" in Harper's Bazaar.
