Indian Superstition.
@. @. STEVENSON,
Governor.

Joe Buck, the Indian who killed
the squaw at the Duck Valley Reser-
Walton some time ago, was brought
down from Tuscarora yesterday in
charge Of y. S. Marshal Moore, had a
preliminary examination this morning
and was bound over to appear before
the United States Grand Jury. From
what can be learned of the affair it
seems to be case of Indian super
stition. An old medicine man" in
whose curative powers the red-men
had great faith, was taken suddenly
ill. He stated to his friends that he
had been bewitched by a certain
squaw and that he would die in few
days, but in three days thereafter he
would come to life again. He died all
right but failed to awaken as pre-
dicted. The failure of his prophecy
WAS attributed to the Internal mach
nations Of the squaw who they be-
lieved had bewitched him, and Joe
Buck was chosen by lot to Stay her.
He then proceeded to do what he
thought was his duty, and, entering
her "wickiup," hit her on the head,
dragged her out of the tent and cut
her throat. The Indians have ex-
pressed their sympathy for the slayer,
and will do all they can to secure bis
release.

ALLIANCE IN POLITICS.
:. Clear aud Frank Statement From fresi-
dent StackhouSc.


/ az. in receipt of letters from
brethren in different parts OF the
State, asking the question, is it
constitutional for the Alliance to pass
resolutions for or against the action
OF the March convention?
I did not advise against the pas
sage Of such resolutions because L
! held that such action was unconstltu-
tional, but I did so because [ believ-
ed that such action would be hurtful
to the Alliance, and because l be-
Eeved there was no absolute neces-
sity for such action, and [ have seen
nothing in the Developments so tar
to lesson my estimate Of the danger,
Or to show the necessity for such ac-
ton.
While there is nothing PARTISAN In
The questions submitted by the far
mers' movement-they refer to the
policy of the Democratic party IN
South Carolina-yet it may not be
denied that the discussion of these
questions within the party had de-
veloped a spirit Of bitterness between
the faction and that, too, before the
organization of the Alliance-such as
would be hurtful to if not absolutely
destructive of Alliance unity. This
being true, would it not be far safer
and betterto form clubs for OF against
the .:moyement" in which to discuss
and advance their ideas Of true Dem
ocratic policy? I would not advise
this course in the study and discus
sion of new questions, but l DO earn
cstly advise the abandonment OF such
action by the Alliance on these ques-
tons for the reason stated, and l
have been pleased to see th.t Cap
tain Tillman has advised the same
course, because of his appreciation OF
the danger to ON organization. So.
too. has your State Lecturer, Bro.
Elder. So again, let me advise the
abandonment of such action by the
Alliance. If our people desire to give
organized expression to their views
on these questions, let them organize
for that purpose, where none need be
present who are notin sympathywlth
their views and purposes. In most
of or1r Alliances there is more Or less
division OF opinion on these questions
divisions that had caused irritation
of feeling before our order was organ
lied. So, again. let me advise against
such action, not becausr it IS uncon-
stutional, but because it is danger
Gus to the unity and success OF the
Alliance.
