An Indian Widows Hard Lot,

According to the account quoted by
DR.. Farrow in his valuable work on the
"Mortuary Customs of the North Ameri-
can Indians" the Tokotins, of Oregon,
compelled widows to pass through an Or
deal to which the suffice would almost be
preferable. The body of the deceased
husband was kept for nine days laid out
in his lodge During these nine days the
widow is obliged to lie beside it from
sunset to sunrise, no matter what the
season or the temperature. On the tenth
day the body is burned, together with
whatever of property once appertained to
it in the way of clothing, arms, etc. The
widow must also lie beside the corpse on
the funeral pile. On no account may
she move until the doctor so orders.
This merciful command is never given,
however, until the living body of the
poor woman is completely covered with
blisters. If at any time during the life
of her husband she has been known to
commit any act of inidelity, or to neglect
to minister to his comfort in any way,
she is now severely punished. The rela-
tives of the dead warrior will again and
again fling her back upon the burning
pile, from which her own friends must
as many times drag her forth, more dead
than alive. When all is over the widow
must collect the larger bones, roll them
up in an envelope of birch bark and
carry them constantly OH her back for
years. She is now slave to the whole
village, and her least refusal to obey an
order is cruelty punished. The ashes of
her late husband are collected and buried
in a grave, and should any weeds appear
upon this grave she is obliged to root
them out with her bare fingers, while
her husbands relatives stand over and
beat her

The French have, moreover, driven the
Newfoundland fishermen out of the mar
kets of Europe. By the heavy bounties
given to them the French fishermen have
been able to undersell their competitors.
In retaliation the Newfoundland legisla-
ture, disregarding an agreement between
France and England in 1885, passed
what is known as the bait act, obstruct-
ing the sale of bait to the French.
Supplied by smugglers, the French
have been able to get what best they
needed. They have also been able to
supplement this supply from st. George

Gently ordered Newfoundland fishermen

Waiting for Sam

A man with eleven weeks of wiry hair
and long g1Iowth of beard stepped
into barber shop in one of our two
cities the other day and sat down.
Probably he WIS not in his best mood.
AT any rate he looked cross, even
though it was lis next turn.
Next" SAY the barber.
"Ill wan' ,br Sam" said the man with
the hair any beard, and as he said it he
kicked az The dog and looked about as
pleasa.iht a circular saw in motion.
a.: tght," said the barber with en-
pha,i9 isp Next"
I% next" got into the chair and left
tfe man who was cross sitting by the
window, watching for Sam. Half an
hour passed. The shop was full and
there seemed to be good deal of amuse-
ment among all except the man who
was waiting for Sam. One by one the
customers kept coming in. The clock
handspassed from $50 p. IN. to 7:30 p. m,
and then to $50 p. IN. At about this
time the door opened and head popped
in.
"Heard from Sam yet?' said the head.
Eyes" replied the barber.
GLOW is he; having good timer"
"Guess he is. At any rate he says
he is"
"When do you expect him home?"
SIN about three weeks"
The door slammed after the question:
er, just as the man with the beard who
was waiting for Sam, jumped to his
feet. "Wh-what did you say?" shout
ed he. "Did you say Sam wasn't COM
ing for three weeks?"
The barber repressed his smile, and in
voice that was low and even toned, he
said: Eyes, sir. Sam is up country, and
we expect him back in about two weeks
and half. But if you want to wait for
him we'll make up bed for you right
here on"-but the rest was lost by the
door slamming on the retiring form of
the man who was waiting for Sam

Plain Statement of the Fisheries Row
Between France and England.
Especial Corresponds: eel

Especial Corresponds: &C.
New YORK, June 26.-The present
trouble in Newfoundland grows out of
the mistake chat England made in ever
permitting the French to gain foothold
on the island. This foothold was first
authorized by the treaty O. Utrecht,
signed in 1713, and although led to in
terminable disputes it was confirmed by
several other treaties.
While this treaty recognized the right
of England to the full possession of New
foundland it provided that lit shall be
allowed to the subjects of France to
catch dsh and dry them ON land in that
part only of the said island of Newfound-
land which stretches from the place
called Cape Bonavista to the northern
part of said island, and from thence, run
ming down by the western side, reaches
as far as the point called Point Richie. p"
By referring to the map it will be seen
that Cape Bonavista is on the east coast
on the south side of Bonavista bay, and
that Point Richie is on the west coast
about third of the way down from the
northern extremity of the island.
The treaty of Versailles, signed in
1888, made an important change in
these limits. The limit ON the east coast
was fixed at Cape St. John, on the north
side of Notre Dame bay, and the limit
on the west coast was fixed at Cape Ray,
on the southwest extremity of the island.
The coast between these two limits
measures probably thousand miles.
Here the French were permitted by the
treaty of Utrecht to build "stsg es made
of boards and huts necessary and usual
for the drying of fish," and the same
treaty prohibited them from resorting to
the island "beyond the time necessary
for fishing and the drying of fish"
Not contented with making these ex-
traordinary concessions, George III ac-
companied the treaty of Versailles with
this remarkable declarations Ellis Bri-
fannie majesty will take the most posi-
tive measures for preventing his sub
jects from interrupting in any manner by
their competition the fishery of the
French during the temporary exercise of
it, and he will for this purpose cause the
fixed settlements which shall be formed
there to be removed" As a consequence
of this blunder the settlement and de-
velopment of the French coast have been
prevented.
But these are not the only grievances
of the Newfoundlanders. In spite of
treaty stipulations forbidding the erec-
ton of permanent buildings, the French

NOTWITHSTANDING the opinion OF the
ablest lawyers in the United States
Congress with Judge Edmonds at the
head, that no more Legislation would
be required after the passage Of the
Wilson bill TO make the laws Of pro-
hibitioh states effective, yet a repub-
lican court in Kansas renders a con-
trary decision on the eve Of election
in order 10 create an issue with which
the republican party may befog the
true issues OF the campaign.
The advocate., 1890-10-22

SEQ II you can hnd any other answer
than that Il is the chosen instrumento OF
Wall Street for the accomplishment of
a certain purpose, and thatpurpOse the
reelection Of Mr. Ingalls,, TO which
democratic as well as republican plu-
tocrats are expected TO contribute.
The next step in this gigantic
scheme is the original package de-
cision Of the United States supreme
court and the opening Of the supreme
court saloons upon Kansas soil
Then followed the Wilson bill by
which these hell holes of iniquity were
temporarily closed.
II will be remembered by all who
observe the course OF current events
that a labored attempt was made by
the republican press to attribute this
decision to a democratic supreme
} court. This was a necessary precau-
tion in the Kansas programme, mas
much as the republican party is the
dominant party here and the work Of
the plutocratic masters must be aC-
complished through that party in this
state. II is sufficient answer TO this
J averment that the political complex
ions Of the court does not Justify this
, claim. The Wilson bill on the other
= hand is heralded as distinCtively a re-
publican measure. It's design was TO
3 manufacture sentiment for the repub-
A lican party and not to suppress the
I liquor traffic.
3 The next step in this scheme was
3 TO test the validity of the laws Of
Z Kansas under this Wilson bill. Ac-
g cordingly a violation Of the laws was
deliberately planned and a test case
0 made upon which a decision has
been recently rendered. Before con-
q sidering the circumstances connected
with this decision, we desire TO In
n vite attention to another circumstance
