ALLOTMENT IN sEvERALTY TO INDIANS
The condition OF our Indian population con-

that the transforming change so much to be
desired which shall substitute for barbarism
favorable progress. Our relations with these
people during the year have been disturbed
by no serious disorders, but rather marked by
better realization OF their true interests, and
increasing confidence and good will, These
conditions testify to the value of the higher
tone OF consideration and humanity which has
governed the later methods of dealing with
them, and commend its continued observance.
Allotments In severalty have been made
some reservations until all those entitled to
land thereon have hal their shares assigned
and the work is still continued
But no agency for the ameiioration of this
people appears to me so promising the ex-

trained to the sure pursuit of some form
of useful industry. The capacity OF the
Indian no longer needs demonstration.
It is established. It remains to make the most
of 1t, and when that shall be done the curse
will be lifted, the Indian race saved, and the
sin of their oppression redeemed. The time OF
its accomplishment depends upon the spirit
and Justice with which it shall be prosecuted.
1t can not be too soon for the Indian nor for
the interests and good name of the Nation.
The AVERAGE attendance of Indian pupils on
the schools increased by over nine hund red
during the year and the total enrolment
reached 13,212. The cost of maintenance was
not materially raised. The number Of teach.
able Indian youth is now estimated at 10000.
or nearly three times the enrolment Of the

A Rabbit anriyp.

The rabbit drive on last Saturday
on Mitchell's ranch, some seven OF
eight miles west of here, was day
that W ill long he rem mhered by the
Jacks tina were fortunate enough tc
escape with their lives. It. was also
a day for mucu sport with many oi
the Tulareans. Fully five hundred
people were on the field where poor
Jack met his Waterloo. Many went
from the town and large number
from the surrounding country. The
rabbits We're driven into wings
running out half mile on each side,
and driven up into corral, where
they were slaughtered. About fifteen
hundred were killed on the outside OF
the corral, and many escaped through
the ranks of those who were making
the drive, in spite of the screech-
ings of the women and the
yelling and clubbing by the men.
Near four thousand were slaughtered
in the corral, making the number Of
slain between five aud six thousand,
and lowering the record on all previ-
GUS drives heard from. 1t seems that
at this rate the rabbits will soon be a
thing of the past.-fTulare Free Press.

This intercourse is still but partially

rendered after the conclusion OF the
treaty on the part of the British
plenipotentiaries to secure kindly and
peaceful relations. Regarding the
period that may be required for the
consideration of the treaty by the re-

actment OF the necessary legislation to
carry it's provisions into effect, if
approved, this paper freely, and on

their respective legislatures, when it

In view of such action it appears to

1t reads like old times to hear OF
Henry G. Warmoth being nominated
as Republican candidate for Governor
of Louisiana; the announcement car
ries with it the unwholesome odor of
the carpet-bag days. 1t is not prob
able that what is left Of the Republi-
can party in the canebrake State is in
serious danger of having itself again
thrust into power, especially under
such leadership, but it is not encour-
aging to the organization, in Ma
tonal sense, to see such a revival of
the elements which brought such dis
aster and disgrace upon the party.
Under such leadership the Republi-
can party will never resume control OF

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, February 81 - A
special from Washington to the Eyening
Post says that almost a quorum of the
National Democratic Committee met
at the Capitol this morning. They
appea ed to make their headquarters
on the Senate side OF the building.
Senator German was much sought
after and numerous consultations were
held. California delegates were very
sanguine as to their chance of taking
the invention to the Pacific coas'
and Senator Hearst announced that
he could already count upon twenty
two votes, needing only two more to
make a majority Of the committee.
CHIcAGo's CHANCES.
CHICAGO, February PA Ne,cs'
Washington special says that Chica-
go's chances for the Democratic Con-
vention continue good, but that San
Francisco is making hard fight. The
NeWs says that the San Francisco
boom is not so strong as it was, how
ever, for people are beginning to think
of the time and expense necessary to
20 there, and the New York papers
have come out emphatically against
the plan. Meagre telegraphic facili-
ties aud the chance of their total sus
pension at any time are urged as
strong objections against the city on
the Pacific slope. Senator German
has declared himself in favor of Chi
cago. Scott is non-committal.
ALL THREE CONFIDENT.
WASHINGTON, February 21.-The
various delegations have been ac-
lively at work tonight, endeavoring
to secure National Democratic Con-
vention. The opinion is expressed by
politicians that Chicago has ac-
com plished the best results, but st.
Louis and San Francisco are
confident, and all three will
probably be close together on the
first ballot. The Californians argue
that holding the convention in San
Francisco would insure fourteen ell
ectoral votes to the Democratic party,
and gain of this kind would not be
made by holding the convention else
where. There is as much diversity of
opinion regarding the time Of holding
the convention as about the
place Of meeting. The Chi
cago delegate think that about the
lst OF July would be proper, and st.
Louis Representatives ara>aggressively
in favor of an earlier convention,
saying that as the Democratic party
is in power it would be an act of
cowardice on their part to wait and
see whom the Republicans nominate.
The Cslifornians express no opinion.
