Col. Daniel R. Anthony, enc of the
truest friends the black man ever had.
! 1t is useless to say anything about
the Col. for every one knows who

publican, a great leader, and, as be-
fore stated, true and tried friend
of the Afro American. Our people
here hail his nomination with great
delight, and great numbers can al

what Moses was to the children of Is

Interviews with Two Stock Men Concern.
ing Grazing and Other Privileges.
Ssys the the Livingston Enterprise:
tom Kent, the well known sheep
man from the Crow reservation, was q
visitor in Livingston last Saturday.
He has recently had an interview
with Agent Bristol. Of the Crows, In
rrgard to the white men and their be-
longings being moved of. Mr.. Kent
said that the agent did not realize
that he was driving away from their
homes some men who had lived there
frcm iftesn TO twenty year,. He
fully agreed with the agent, however,
that it would be much better for the
Indians II the worthless squatters who
hsd come on the reservation within
the pact two or three years were
driven of, but he thinks that some
Discrimination should be used. and
that the order compelling oil white
men on the reservation 10 leave is q
harsh and unjust messure. Mr.. Kent
10 fully In earnest In this matter and ID
much attached 10 his Indian wife and
family Of children and resents any
thing that casts . slur upon them.
such men ~ he are OF benefit 10 the
Crows and should be allowed to re.
main. He has considerable property.
but not nearly ., much - he is cred
lted with. and what property he has
got will be the lawful heritage of bis
Indian family. It will make them
people Of Independent means and will
afford to the Indian an example Of the
results of industry"
A conversation with A. M. Quivey,
the United States marshal on the
Crow reservation, develops many
points in the trouble now going on be.
tween the squaw men and the agent
that are not perhaps perceptible 10 the
observer from the outside. He seems
to think with many others that the
agent is pushing this business too fsr
aud that there are quite number o.
white men who are entitled 10 remain
on the reservation and who sre sn
actual benefit TO the Indians. Mr..
Quivsy has himself been for msny
years resident among the Indian.
and while his philosophy has become
somewhat influenced by his surround
ings, he still retains much OF the
quickness and intelligence that must
have characterized him when Q
younger man. He is said TO be an
influential adviser Of Plenty Coues,
whom be characterizes a. the smart.
est Indian on the EARTH" Plenty Coues
most certainly 10 the most Influential
Indian among the Crows, and . mar
who can control him in any way hAi
q great power for good or evil among
the tribe. Mr.. Quivey was asked why
the agent had taxed the cattle men fol
loading cattle st Huntley and Custel
stations. He said that it was n-ces
sary TO prevent men from grazing
their cattuls on the reservation FOR ~
indefinite length Of time, under the
plea Of waiting 70 load. He said that
he had known Of several instances
where cattle men had driven on to
tbe Indian lands and kept their cattle
there two months, thus deriving ben
eft from the Indians grass lands
without paying toll. 1t had become
necessary In his opinion 70 tax the eAs-
tls on this account. -~e

WORLDS FAIR.

Resolutions Adopted By the Convention
at St. Joseph, Mo.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 5-At the Worlds
Fair convention in this city Thursday ex-
Governor Woodson was temporary chair
man. General r. A. Cameron, of Fort
Worth, Tex, was chosen permanent
chairman, which seemed to indicate that
the sentiment of the convention was that
the Worlds Fair should go to Chicago
instead of St Louis. The other officers
were: Vice-presidents, Thomas B. Ryan,
of Illinois; P. NJ. Grape, of Iowa; James
o. Broadhead, of Missouri; j. E. Trout
man, Ct Kansas; f. E. Balch, of Ne
braska; General g. A. Ford, of Texas;
secretary. Fred F. Schrader, of St Jo-
seph; assistant secretaries, George H.
Morgan, of St Louis; J. B. Clarke, of
Chicago, and S. f. Nicely, of Leavenworth.
The committee on resolutions made the
following report, which was unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, Under the auspices OF the Nation
al Congress the preliminary steps have been
taken for holding a Three American or Interna-
tional Exposition in 1892, to commemorate the
quadricentennial of the discovery of America:
and.
WHEREAS. every International Exposition OF
Worlds Fair that has been held upon the soil
of the United States has been the Eastern
or Southern seaboards: and,
WHEREAS, The West is the great producing
center OF the country, the center OF the pOpula-
ton, wealth and political power; and,
WHEREAS. There are cities in the West pos
sessing transportation and other facilities for
making Worlds Fair successful superior to
those possessed by any Eastern city: and,
WHEREAS, The greatest exhibit that can be
made to visitors from other Nations is the coun-
try itself, which can not be seen by visiting one
city on either margin of the continent, there
fore be it
Res0tced That 1T is the sense Of this conven-
ton that the Worlds Fair of 1892 should be
held in some city of the West which is willing
to provide the requisite means for making it
grand pageant of civilization and splendid
picture of the countrys progress.
Resolved That we will unite our efforts to OBJ
tain from Congress the location Of the fair at
some point west of the Alleghenies that may be
fixed upon as most commendabe and conven-
lent and accessible to the largest number Of our
people and for visitors from the Old World.
ResoiUed. That in the final embodying of these
views in appropriate legislation, We confidently
count upon the support of every Congressman
from the West and Southwest and the Pacific
coast and the cooperation of those of the South
and Of the entire country.
ResotUed That our Representatives in Con-
gress and all others favorable to these views.
are hereby earnestly requested to advocate and
insist upon action by Congress until the Ques-
ton is finally settled
ResolUed, That a certified copy of these reso--
buttons. duly signed and attested by the perma-
nent officers Of this convention, be transmitted
to each Senator and Representative in Con-
gress; and, further, that the chairman appoint
a delegation, consisting of one member from
each State represented in this convention, to
lay these resolutions before Congress on its as
sembling
