The Moqui Indians who have been visiting
the Atlantic coast this summer will probably
derive some advantage from the journey for
their tribe They had certain demands to pre-
sent, as most red mon have who go to Washing
ton; they also had certain grievances, among
which, it appears, is the chronic habit OF their
powerful neghbors, the NavaJos, who are I'M
der the same agent, OF bullying them. Mr..
HERBERT WEIGH, Secretary OF the Indian
Rights Commission, long ago took up the
cause OF the Mouuis, and reported to the In
terror Department that the Nayajos were
crowding them and trespassing on their res
eryation. Col. CARR, commanding the District
OF New Mexico. says In his last annual report
that. In consequence OF these complaints, he
ordered party Of the Sixth Cavalry. under
Cant. WALLACE, t. look into the matter. and
TO warn tho NRvaIos to deSist. lie added that
the complaints wero probably well founded:
The Navajo, no doubt, bully and bnIldozs the
Moqus take their peaches melons and corn, and beat
them when they demonstrate, The Moquis are . mild
and inOnensve people, and should be protected"
1t is probable. therefore, that the recent
complaints OF the Monuis. made at Washing
ton. were not exaggerated.

SENATOR WALLACE SUPPORTS TIE
TICKET,
But Incidentally DIscloseS an Unpleasant
Fact About Bill Scott.
Prom an In<rvterO In the HarrtIourO Pa,rOt


Just before the ex-Senator's departure on the
steamer Majestic for Europe. on being asked
about the prospects Of the Democratic State
ticket In Pennsylvania. Mr.. Wallace said that
the outlook. In his opinion. was favorable to
the election OF the ticket.
Il shall be absent from the country until tho
latter part Of August or the first OF September"
said he. " and on my return will do my part
toward the success OF the ticket. My friends
will not be backward In giving 1t their sup

gresham William l.. Scott wrote letter to q
prominent Democrat OF your State In attend
ance at the scranton Convention to the effect
that II you were nominated for Governor he.
Mr.. Scott. would have an INDEPENDENT Demo-
cratic ticket put in the field against youl'
"Oh. yes" replied the ex-senator, that is
an open secret Mr.. Scott not only wrote that
letter. but said in 1t that the Rddressee might
show 1t to whom he pleased. But that kind Of
procedure would only have been in keeping
with that gentleman's past political history.
He openly opposed the Democratic state ticket
In 1881. 1t does not matter. though what Mr..
Scott threatened aRains me. ! shall not mi-
tate the bad example he proposed to set. Tho
Democratic State ticket is composed OF worthy
men who are entitled to the support OF the
Democracy, and that fact ID quite sufficient to
secure their support by old Democrats like
myself"
Mr. Wallace said that the business which
calls him to Europe was OF such character that
he could not afford to neglect It, and that even
II he had been nominated for Governor he
would have been obliged to make the trip.

Short, but Terrible.

An Iowa editor by constant study and
practice has discovered that "pack my
box with five dozen jugs OF liquor" is
the shortest sentence in our language
containing all the letters of the alpha
bet Mortified News.
This is not all that it contains, by a
.jugtul. 1t not only contains the short
est sentence, but shortest route to the
poor house, the. penitentiary and the
insane asylum. 1t may be short SEN
tence, but it leads to many long one.
If you doubt it look at some of the SEN
fences on the records at the court house.
1t contains all the letters of the alpha
bet and enough horrors and blue devils.
brOken-dOwn regulations to start anOth-
er new world us bad as this is. 1t is a
sentence to be abhorred on sight and
denounced at all times. We have not
run over the words. to see If I'LL the let
tiers are there, but we don't doubt it,
because it ought to take all the letters of
the alphabet and more. to make such Il
sentence, still it is a mighty poor use to
put the poor innocent alphabet to.
When the alphabet sees that sentence it
will not know itself in such disguise.

IT will be well for all parties inter-
ested to depend upon the certainty
that the next Legislature however con-
stituted will make radical reductions
in the expenses of the State admins
tration. 1t will be bad session for
"snaps." The reckless and extrava-
giant expenditure of the peoples mon
ey will be materially curtailed. There
is no reason, for instance, why the levy
for the completion Of the State house
should not be suspended for couple
of years at least. There a plenty Of

date all the legitimate state oRic rs.

reau of Labor, whose sole mission is

growth, long enough. Scrape off the
barnacles, force the officials TO take
their beds out,of the capitol, and the

That is the number of mortgage fore

ty. Farmers, what do you think of
that? At that rate how long Will it be

ditions, as some assert, why don't some
of those fellows with money 10 invest
buy these farms and 60 TO work on
them? They can have them for small
amount over the mortgages. as everyone
would rather sell out themselves than to

any other.-Haven Independent.

From "The Greeley News.


RALPH EAsLEY, of the Hutchinson
News, has been to Chicago, where he
tells different story from what he
does at home, through his paper, He
said. at the Palmer House, that exam
sas is two-thirds bankrupt, if the truth
were known. Nine-tenths of the
farms there are morigaged up to their
full limit" He gives three reasons
for this condition of things-protec-
ton, prohibition and poor crops LAT
home, through his paper, he talks OF
the beauties of protection, the great
benefits derived from prohibition and
of the fine crops and general prosper
ity of the farmers). In that convers-
alton at the Palmer House, Easley
told the truth about the mortgages,
and two of his reasons for the cOndi-
ton of things are very good; but
when he gives prohibition as one of
the causes of distress, among the
farmers or any other class of people,
he simply utters bare faced lie. I'm
der prohibition, the state has grown
in population, as the census shows;
and it has gained class of sober, or
der-loving, God-fearirg, law-abiding
people, who came here to get their
boys away from the influence of the
saloon. The state has also lost some
of it's inhabitants; but those who left
were, in the main, saloon-keepers, red
nosed buns and dead beats. Prohi-
bition has had nothing to do with our
hard times. The cause of the depres
sion is lack of money,as well as two
of the causes mentioned by Easley
but tho main cause is lack of circu-
lating medium. We need more money.
The GREELEY NEWS has given, at
various times, other reasons for the
depression, and will continue to give
them until the people see for them
selves.

REV. GEORGE RoGERs, of East

The Battle of Nebraska.

| luC DuUUlC VI lNCUI doh0s
Seven months have come and gone
since we sounded our first note for pro-
hibition in Nebraska. We have spoken
in thirty counties and their" principal
towns. We have followed the Big Mud
dy (Mlssouri) crossed and re-crossed'th
Platte, the Elkhorn, Big Blue and"Lit-
tie Blue rivers; touched the famous
Niobara with the rod of prohibition
truth, glanced at Covington. opposite
Sioux City, Iowa, known as the nearest
approach to hell between seas; lectured
in Omaha, and studied it for future use,
and now with only two months before
the final struggle can simply say:
The amendment battle in Nebraska is
fierce and furious. We expect no quar-
ter-we give none. On one side are
ample means, low devilish cunning, ar
tifice and avarice, mendacity bordering
on insanity, so glaring, so fragrant, and
20 shocking is it.; violence manifested
here and there in personal attack and
destruction of property; moral coward
ice most despicable, desertiOn and
treason, this, and much more on the
side of-WRONG.
This is more than matched by honesty
and fair dealing, with patience and for
bearance, with prayer and Christian
song, with unbounded trust and faith in
God and the right; with figures, facts,
statistics, logic, argument, open and full
discussion, stubborn insistence that
will admit of no retreat, an invincible
determination, rising to the snblimely
heroic: all this and much more on the
side of--RIGHT.
When the last hour of this amend
ment battle shall be fought OH the 18th of
November, will the stars shine on a
commonwealth with the black flag of
the drink traffic shaking it's death folds
over it, or will the white banner of
peace and purity be borne in triumph
across the empire state of the west
golden Nebraska? An awful RESPONSE
bilty rests on the church Of the living
God and all protesting christiOns, for
they can answer this question and settle
it. If the church does its duty now the
death knell of the gigantic iniqmty of
Nebraska will be sounded.
Armed with Gods eternal truth, we
intend to battle with this deadly and
damning foe to mankind. The Master
says: "He that is not for me is against
me, "and there can be no doubt as TO
which side He is on in this irrepressibie
conflict. Christian brother! under
which banner are you fighting? Shall
we battle with the Lord against this
giant rock of evil, bringing against it
the battering ram of truth. or shall we
act the moral coward, cringing still to
the rum seller, and allow him TO con-
tinue to rule us Pc. Il. Scott i'm Union
