The latest issue OF the Valley Virgin
ian. published at Stanton, Va, appears
to assure the defeat of Mahone's
attempt TO again seize control of the

is a newspaper of the highest character,
conducted by Mr.. ). M. Yost. one Of
The ablest and best members of the

paper" that 'it believes in the princi-
Piles and policies of the republican
party" that sit will support its organ
izaiion when it is dedicated to the
maintenance of those principles" but
that "it will not be the willing insiru.
ment of any faction, or the slavish
4~polngist of methods which can have
no orher effect than to disintegrate and
wreck the republican party" In an.
other article npom the ''honOrable ON
promise" as the recent ''dcal' ratified
by the president is called by the
Mahoneites. the Valley Virginian de-
nounces ''the arrangement which
seems TO have been c~OnsuInmated by
which the full control of the patronage

over to Gen. Mah1ne; > declares that
''the president has been deceived in
the promise that a full republican vote
can be secured for any ticket that may
be nominated, and that the republicans

wherever the bosses may direct;' and
adds: I'VE believe we speak for 50,-

of any cabal or combine that would
seek to prostitute the republican or
ganizaiion to such base Uses. They

THE GROW INDIANS.
Some OF the Things That Can BE Seen In
Their Montana Reservation.

Some of the Things That Can BE Seen In
Their Montana Reservation.
The Crows have got horses and cat
tie and show an ability to hold on to
them. There are on the reservation
80 900 to 40, 600 head of cattle and 3D.
600 head of sheep, belonging to white
men. For the grazing privilege the
white men pay so cents a head on
horses and cattle and 10 cents n head
on sheep. The money goes to the
tribe. The advantage OF this privilege
Ia that it lets the stockmen out of pay
ing taxes to the county government.
The ability of the Crow to turn an
honest penny was illustrated recently,
when Troop X Of the First Cavalry
was crossing Pryor creek on the way
to Livingston, Quartermaster Ed
wards was ahead of the command some
distance. looking for the best roads
and acting as pilot. He came to a
place where the water had spread out
over the road, making il almost inn
passable. What made matters worse
the road was fenced in. Old Crooked
Face, q Grow, had his ranch at that
point. He made his appearance as the
Quartermaster was specializing how
to get around the slough. 1t was evil
dent that the horses would mirc if the
troop attempted to cross. At length
old Crooked Face pointed to the fence.
and suggested that he take it down
and let the soldiers go through his
| field. He concluded his proposition
by saving it would cost the soldiers
| only 25 cents a piece. The Quarter
master declined without thanks and set
| about plans to fix the road. 1t wasn't
but a few moments until the discovery
was made that the whole trouble was
caused by the dammin G of a spring rear
by. That had been don e with the evil
dent purpose of making the water
overflow and ruin the road. Old
| Crooked Face looked on until he saw
the jig was up, and tn en- an intensely
disgusted expression came over his
intelligent countenance.
The Crows haven't made such pro-
gress toward civilization as to put
their dead under ground. They still
inclose the corpses in boxes and perch
them on platforms as high in the air
as possible. In a different climate a
Crow cemetery would be a nuisance.
Montana air makes mummies of bodies
thus exposed. There is nothing in
n of these places to offend the OIL
factories. Tourists, who bring with
them their amateur cameras, have
great sport visiting the ''last resting
place" Of the Crows. They even open
the boxes. take ont the dried bodies
and prop them in groups in order to
obtain more striking views.
The Crow is any thing but a stoical
individual. If you say How to him
he is likely to reply with emphasis.
Good morning" He is a wit and Il
sport. and when he is in town he sees
all that is going on. He will tart a
game OF tag" in n crowd and keep it
up by the half hour. When he goes
into a store he knows just what he
wants and doesn't pull over forty diff
ferent things while trying to make up
his mind. But he is still addicted to
feathers and leggings and blankets
and the lOudest possible colors.-St

THE BRITISH ON TOP.
From the Louisville Courier-JourEaI

From the Louisville Courier-JnurEal.
Last year the republican contention
was that il Is the duty of the American
voter first to inform himself what Great
Britain wants, and then to vote the
other way. All that is changed now.
One Englishman is private secretary
of the president; another has been
chosen Il snperiniend the cencns.
Hundreds of millions of "Brirish goldr
is finding investment in American
industries, rs the protection Sts boast,
and prOtectionists organs exult oVer il.
Nav, they ascribe it to the republican
victory lat fall. So the British manu-
facturer Is to get control of the Ameri-
can market, after all, and that by the
help of the "home market" people.
The latter not only admit It, but glory
in it. With foreign capital replacing
American capital, and foreign laborers
replacing American laborers in our
manufacturers, it w0nld seem that the
old ..Brittish gold" argument has be-
come obsolete.
