THE savages of the plains are complaining of under enumeration by the census taker, alice samee as the braves of the Tammany wigwam. It is matter of bread and butter with the western savages, as the government nations are counted out according to their enume-rations. And they are the more enti- tied to sympathy that it is not recorded that they obstructed the work of the government officers, as did the whiskey selling Tammany braves. But probably both got fairly cor rect enumeration after all. By the way, it is noted Senator Brice of Ohio and family are officially counted as residents of New York

THx Indian scare is over. The hostiles have succumbed to the inevitable, if they had ever seriously planned war. It was the part of wisdom to avoid hostilities until the power of government was made 80 manifest to the hot bloods that they did not dare to prolong their attitude of defiance. It is unlikely that they will ever again be as strongly massed in seemino rebellion to the government

No paper in the state has of late more rap idly moved toward the head of the procession than the Hartford Post. The impression given its readers few years ago was that it was published because somebody behind it needed such paper. This impression can no longer exist. The people want the Post, it's circulation is expanding, it's opinions are accorded due weight, its superior ability in editorial lines and its great value as news paper is conceded by readers and contempo- raries. It takes high rank among the infuen- tial papers of New England, and is welcome exchange in every newspaper office it enters

MANY towns in the state are endeavoring te bring up the assessed valuation of property to higher figure. At present it ranges from one-half value downwards. Thenew mark gen orally aimed at is two-thirds value. The present low valuation has come from each towns desire to reduce its state tax by lower ing it's total grand list. There is no longer need of this dishonest phase of custom, since there is now no state tax The disadvantage of the present system is in its making neces- sary the laying of larger tax to meet the re- duced valuation. So to Massachusetts man our taxes of 14 to 3 per cent seem enormous. Whereas, considering the status of valuation, they are not so large.

ONE of the most successful meetings of the State Board of Agriculture ever held was that at Rockville last week. From the opening remarks of Vice. President Hyde, followed by the fine address of welcome by E. s. Henry, all throughout the proceedings there was en- thusiasm and close interest and intelligent discussion of every topic on the program of exercises. Mir. Henry voiced the pride the young city felt in being again, after an inter val of eight years, selected as the place of meeting. Every act and expression of the people backed up this assertion of pride in the welcoming. The discussions were prac- tical. There was ''no nonsense talk The farmers present profted by what they heard. All who were not there may profit by reading the published proceedings, and those who are not farmers may feel proud that we have as intelligent and cultured a lot of men in any profession as that gathered in our coun- ty last week

in New Haven on Wednesday of last week, was one of the most noted generals that Con- necticut contributed to the war of the rebel lion. His splendid capture of Fort Fisher overshadowed any other of his achievements during the war, but his record was such that the war department overruled his determina- ton to resume his profession, the law, when peace came, and pressed him into the military service of his country, thus taking him from the civil and political honors that most surely awaited him. His funeral at New Haven on Friday was attended by noted persons from all parts of the country

THE power and influence of Parnell as a leader seems to be broken, but in his fall the home rule party also seems nearly wrecked. It will take long time to put it where it was. The priests are openly fighting Parnell. Al the NorthK ilkenny election on Monday, where an anti-Parnen member was elected, the priests worked at the polls and headed pro- sessions of voters on their way to cast theil votes. It is g strange spectacle to see men SC suddenly turn against trusted leader, warm adherents, to all appearances, up to the mo- ment of conversion into sturdy opponents The Celt is never lukewarm, and seems never to pause in the transition state.

A RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
The Little Daughter of Mrs. Paine
Narrowly Escapes Death.

Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock
Mrs. J. Paine, of Pasadena, narrowly
escaped being run over by train on the
Cross road, and her little daughter was
struck by the engine and seriously, but
not fatally, injured.
At the point where the accident took
place the Los Angeles, Pasadena and
Glendale road runs parallel to and only
a short distance from the Santa Fe track.
The 10 O'Clock train from Pasadena and
the overland going east on the Santa Fe
pass one another a short distance from
the city limits of Pasadena. There is a
trestle at this point on the Cross road,
and Mrs. Paine and her daughter were
crossing this when the train overlook
them. 1t is supposed that the noise OF
the Santa Fe train passing at the same
time distracted her attention, and per-
haps that of the engineer on the Pasa-
dena train.
When she discovered the train bearing
down upon them, Mrs. Paine sprang off
the trestle and fell to the ground, a dis
tance OF eight feet. She escaped without
| injury. The child was struck by the

GENERAL BOYCE'S BOOK.
Where He Recorded the Republican:
Who Bought Stock

The Boyce eXtOrtion case still monOpO-
lises Judge Shaw's attention in depart
ment 6 OF the superior court. The de-
fendant was on the stand most of yester-
day. He told as before about Savage's
visit to the Office of the Tribune, and
how he subscribed for a block of Tribune
stock to help the paper over the breakers
OF hard times in requital OF favors done
in electing the justice of the peace to
office, and in advance payment, per-
haps, of favors still to come. 1t is not
necessary to go into the testimony. 1t is
an old story. The general departed
from his programme in the former
trial so far as to produce a
very small memorandum book, with the
names of the republican office-holders
whom he had induced" to take stock in
the Tribune to help it over the rocks in
the shallow sea of finances which its
bottom was humping on. F. p. Kelly,
the district attorney, was there for a
block. Martin Aguirre, the sheriff, was
there.
H. T. Payne and H. f. Smith, of the
business office of the Bone" were put
on to tell what they knew of Savage's
indebtedness to the paper. They simply
knew that when Boyce was on a trip to
the north, presumably to ''raise the
wind" from some political Eolus's cave,
and found it slow a-coming, he sent
word to strike Savage for small amount.
The letter was destroyed.
w. t. Williams, Esq, and Mr.. Price,
of the Tribune, were put on the stand to
show that Savage was not acting as a
free agent in the suit against Boyce, but
was egged on by others to prosecute or
persecute the defendant. 1t is the same
story as in the other trial. Mr.. Will
liams's account was possibly a little
stronger, with more Rembrandt lights
and shades in the picture.
Then Aguirre was put ON the stand to
tell about the money he subscribed. He
confessed to being sent for by Boyce,
who told him the grass was short in the
| journalistic pastures on which he was
brousing, and asked for a lit
tie fodder. He put it in the
form OF taking stock in the company.
Aguirre seems not to have "taken much
stock" in the outfit, for while he gave
Boyce a check for 500, and afterward
handed the general $3.50 cold coin, and
got his uncle to advance on another oc-
casion $3.50 in yellow boys, yet he
spurned the proffered stock in the paper.
He did not even take a note, but told
Boyce his word would be good enough
for it.
Then Boyce was put back to rebut
Aguirre, who had rebutted him, but
after some argument on the part of the
lawyers all of the Aguirre matter was
ordered out.
The district attorney then asked for a
postponement until Theodore Metzler
could be found, to contradict some testi-
mony given by Boyce. This was allowed,
but Judge Fitzgerald said that if that
was to be the case he would have the
jury put under lock and key until
Metzler came. This induced Mr.. Har-
desty to say he could do without Metz
Ter, and so the case was closed as to TAX
ing testimony. The jury was thereupon
ordered locked up until the case is finally
decided. Argument will be had today.

Minor Matters Before Courts and Juries
Yesterday.
The case of James M. Sappenfeld
against the Main-Street and Agricultural
Park Railway Company,is still occupying
the attention OF Judge Van Dyke anG a
jury. The plaintiff wants $4,000 DANA
ges for the loss of his left leg. He has
already put on about forty witnesses and
the amount of testimony is terrific.
Jose Luis Lopez was arraigned in de-
partment l. He will plead next week.
Jose Conde pleaded not guilty to a
charge of petit larceny and a former con-
viction of felony. His trial will be set
later.
The case pending against J. w. Heart
was dismissed on motion of the district
attorney, as there was no hope of con-
victing him at this late day. He was
charged with an assault with a deadly
weapon. The alleged crime was com
mitted years ago. and Heart was in Jail
to stand trial. He broke jail from the
old adobe on Franklin street and got
away. The witnesses against him are
dead, departed or forgotten.
The case against VIM. Lannigan was
also dismissed on motion of the district
attorney because he despaired of PROV
ing the man guilty. Lannigan was tried
for killing a man at San Fernando
named Michael Stock. The only evi-
dence was dying statement said to
have been made to some one who re-
peated it to another. The recipient OF
the story was not to be had, but the
jury convicted Lannigan on the hearsay
evidence. He was sentenced to fourteen
years, but the supreme court ordered a
new trial, and ruled that the deathbed
story could not be admitted in the way
it came in. Hence the dismissing of the
case.
w. F. Wheeler, for writing threaten
ing letter to G. d. Ambrose, of Pomona,
will be tried May TO-,
M. H. Grain, constable at Newhall, is
charged with falsely imprisoning San
tiago Maquis, at Newhall, March 17th.
Martin p. Harris came up from Santa
Monica on a charge of grand larceny, in
stealing a COW and embezzling $lS. The
charge as to the bovine could not be
proved, and the $1S is only misde-
meanor. The case was sent back to the
Justices court.
