dian women, the Indian bureau Is go
ing 10 work some pretty radical
changes on Indian reservations. The
bureau has had good deal of trouble
with squaw men uu some OF the reser-
vations, aLd has found some of them
OBSTACLES iu the way of carrying out
many of its purposes. A good many
of these men, while willing to cohabit
with Indian women, will not give up
their marital rights under the law and
find u progeny Of Indian children
barring the heirs by white marriage
which they might afterwsrd contract,
and in preference to obeying the law
will leave the reservations. Thus in
fiuential white men may be gotten rid
of where it is thought necessary. The
poor white trash willing TO contract
these marriages under the law have
little influence, anyhow, and do harm
by staying. The chief purpose OF the
department, however, is to protect In.
dian women in their property rights
and prevent unscrupulous adventures
from securing large acquisitions and
then leaving the reservations.

suspended 10 allow the committee tC
rise and the speaker to lay before the
house the presidents message in rels
tion to the fisheries question. Tn,

entry within the states and may ac-
quire title 10 mineral lands within the

tion OF the law makers, when enacting
the law oG this subject passed by the
last congress, 10 prevent the acquire

lands in the several territories, and, NJ
the law has not been construed by the

may be that the object has been at

that it is very doubtful whether the
right to purchase land ut private entry

subject tosuch entry-has been denied
to foreigners by said act.
In ordinary cases of entry under The

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-By an &C.
cident it was discovered to-day that
the chairman of the democratic cen.
tral committee of North Carolina has
addressed large number of circulars
to employees Of the pension aud other
departments here soliciting contribu.
tions to a campaign fund. The form
OF the circular is that usually en-
ployed In this business and the solici-
ta,ion Is earnest. This, of course, 10 u
direct violation OF the civil service
law. and the person sending them
could be punished severely. Every
name used in the addresses has a
slight typographical error. The sd-
dresses are all, however, sufficient TO
warrant the delivery OF the letter.
Although hundreds of these solicita-
tions have been received in the depart,
ments, especially in the pension Office.
no complaint has been made, and the
fiagrant violation Of the law is winked
at by the officers in charge.

THE STAR LIVERY STABLES

The Star Livery Stables Of Mr..
u. Il. Pickett, is one OF the land
marks Of Scranton, and II is a
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up, cleaned, whItewashed and
otherwise put in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt in II community.
Through all the financial viciSsi.
tndes of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied IN price, except in conf0rmi-
t. with surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect tQpersOns.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean Offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt attcn-
ton night aud day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has now, ia connection with bis
stables a nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had in any country
town, which he has fitted up so that
our people may enjoy the luxury of
IA decent burial. With these retlec-
tions it must be seen that this inSti-
tuition is Il public benefit, and de-
serves the support OF tue citizens.
