How a Mare was Tortured.


CRUEL AND PROBABLY MALICIOUS ACT.
A few days ago it was discovered that mos,
atrocious act had been committed on q mare
belonging to Messrs. T. B. Cross & Co. in East
Washington. The animal had been very gentle,
but its disposition had changed completely, and
it would run away at every opportunity. Finally
it was noticed that the ears of the mare were
swelled, and when an examination was made il
was found that a small rubber band had been
forced over each ear, and that they had cut
into the flesh. The firm are at loss to &C
count for the motive of the perpetrator Of the
cruelty.

The Hoopa valley Indians.

Some of the beauties of the old reservation
system, into which some of his friends would
remand the Indian from United States ,citi-
zenship are vividly shown in the history of
the Hoopa valley Indians of California, a his
tory, though the agency is a small one, as
unhappy as many one recorded by Helen
Hunt in the Century of Dishonor." The
Hoopa valley is one of the most fertile and
beautiful spots in America and-can sustain
more than double the population that occu-
pies it. Since last July 1856 the agency
has been under the charge of the present
commanding officer of the military post
there as acting agent. When he arrived and
took charge he could not find farm imple-
ments, harness, etc., enough to carry on even
the agency farm. What was the reason?
That was their history, a history of long con-
tinued open robbery without a pretense of
disguise under the old Indian ring regime.
It eliminated in the bribery of the agent by
a cattle company to recommend the abolition
of the agency and the removal of the Indians
to Round valley, and this was done on his
representation. He condemned and dropped
all the property, farming implements, har-
of cattle and horses and mules to Round val
ley, sold the rest to the country people and
ranchmen, leaving the place stripped to the
last dollars worth.
The outraged Indians, however, refused to
move and prepared to die defending their
rights like Virginians or Plymouth colonists.
The commanding officer of the military post,
whose Office it was to crush this handful of
savages in the name of the glorious United
States, the land of the free and tho harbor of
the oppressed, refused to do it, reported the
condition of things to Washington, and it was
decided to leave them as they were. :
He (the commandant) declares the people are
intelligent. as good farm laborers as he has
seen anywhere, industrious and willing to
labor for resrlt.-Southern Workman.

MINORITY REPREsENTATION.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.
Occasionally somebody who thinks that
the system of elections which prevails in this
country is too unequal and unjust concocts a
plan whereby the minority may have ga fair
show" Most of these plans are cumbrous,
and some of them are hardly understandable.
But Worcester man, John N. Berry, has a
plan for giving the minority representation
in the State senate which is at least plain.
According to this plan any citizen eligible
to the senate may be nominated as a candi-
date by any person. The nomination must
be made in writing, signed by the man max
ing It, endorsed with the acceptance of the
nominee, and deposited with the secretary of
the commonwealth, accompanied by fifty
dollars. Each voter may vote for any one of
the candidates nominated. The secretary
must four weeks before the election publish
a list of all the candidates nominated, and
the list must be SO distributed that each voter
may have copy. Each candidate may send
to the secretary the names of one or more
candidates to whom he wishes to transfer
any ineffective votes cast for himself, and a
new list of candidates, with the names of
those to whom he wishes his ineffective votes
transferred, set against the name of each,
shall be prepared by the secretary, copy of
which shall be posted at each voting place
and copy given to each voter who requests
it. The election takes place in the usual
manner. The returns having been made to
the secretary of state, he proceeds to transfer
the ineffective votes and to make the com
putation by which the election is ascertained.
When these transfers have all been made &C.
cording to fixed rules, into the details of
which it is unnecessary to go, the forty can
didates having the highest numbers of votes
shall be declared elected.
This seems to be workable plan. But
just how it would work cannot be told with
out experiment. The experiments in minority
representation which have been made in this
country have not yet accomplished what was
expected of them.
