CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.
Cleveland Seems to Lead Among the
Farmers for the Office.

SPRHGFIELD (Massl. December 22d.-An
elaborately planned canvass to ascertain the
opinions of the farmers throughout the country
On certain questions. has been conducted on an
extensive scale for the past three months BY the
agricultural press OF Springfield in connection
with other farming Journals IN the East ana
West. Nearly Ito, ,00) cards have been received
in answer. The questions were on certain
practical economic and political issues includ.
ship OF railroads and telegraph, etc. The final
question was, Who should be the Republican
and Democratic nominees for the Presidency in
1902" The answers have been fully tabulated
only 50 far as they relate to this last question,
but enough has been done to show that Fede-
raj aid to agricutu education and the teach
ing of agricultural science in the rural public
schools are overwhelmingly indorsed
The sentiment regarding the Government
ownership of railroads is cutie evenly divided
Many who vote against such ownership insist
on Government supervision and full control of
the railroads. The views expressed as to the
new tariff law reciprocity, and the proposed
modification of the National land policy are SO
diverse that 1t will be some days before they
are classified.
didates 1t is explained that the journals inter
esited Interpreted the November elections as
meaning that the farmers were weary Of the
old fav0rites and old measures and demanded
new men and new issues. These journals
therefore, advocated Secretary Rusk and Con-
gresham Hatch as proper Republican and
Democratic standard-bea for 1892. In spite
OF this, however. the farmers expressed their
preference for Presidential candidates in the
following manner:

More troops have been sent out.
A report was received that large number of

peacefully disposed. He spoke freely of his call
to preach. His first experience with the AL
mighty was one afternoon while out hunting.
Hearing noise, he started to learn its cause,
when he was thrown to the ground from some
unknown cause.
"He was then taken to heaven, and there saw
all the whites and Indians that have lived and
died upon the earth. He was afterwards
brought back to earth to the same spot where
he had fallen dead. God told him he had been
looking for q mortal whom he could entrust
with the mission of reforming the world, and
had decided on Quoitze 0w.
Having been informed of his mission. he set
out to perform it. He taught the Indians that
self-defense. Last summer the Indians told him
that unless 1t rained soon the crops would fail.
He told them to go home, and in three days
there would be an abundant rainfall"
Quoitze got his ideas from religious family
with whom he had lived
Chapman thinks Quoitze is directly to blame
for the uprising.
CONDUCT OF THE INDIAN POLICE PRAISED.
WASHINGTON, December 22d.-The Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs has received from In
dian Agent Mclaughlin the report of the fight
between the Indian police and the followers of
Sitting Bull on the 18th instant, when the Chief
was captured and killed. The report does not
differ materially from what already has been
printed. The Agent speaks in the very highest
terms OF the judgment and bravery of the Indian
police, and strongly urges that q generous al
lowance be made for the families of those killed.
Besides the Indian police there were four vol
unteers-Gray Eagle, Spotted Thunder, Otter

WASHINGTON, December 2Sd.-The w. hole city
gis laughing to night over story told in this
evenings Star, Of how smart confsieA ce mar
IN Baltimore had been victimiziIg the grave
sBd dignitied United Slater Senator'S
Within the past three weeks tn man, who
goes by the name of William DuraA, has been
writing to different Senators; informing them
that the first born son in his family had just
been named after them, and incloeing the
baptismal certificate The latter states that he
has been SO unfortunate as to'break leg. thst
his fellow-workmen have gotten up an enter
tainment for his benefit, and would the Senator
be so kind as to take the nclosed five tickets az
one dollar each and remit?
Mr. Duvall would undoubtedly have been
working the Senate yet had he not unfertu-
nately decided on Saturday to make a victim of
Senator Manderson OF Nebraska. 1t so hap
pened that Senator Mandeison had seen SINH
lar certificate few days ago, in which the
name of this same first-born son was declared
to be Justin Morrill, Duvall, and he likely knew
that the venerable Senator from Vermont had
torn S. from his salary and sent it to the suffer
ing father In Baltimore
Convinced that if Mrs. Duvall could be q
mother of two first-born children, she might
give birth to few more at the same time.
Manderson instituted an investigation, the re-
suit of which caused much laughter in the SEN
ate to-day, which was very mystifying to the
galleries until the story came out.
According 10 the certificates which have been
uncovered, the following Senators have been
worked: Dolph, Evarts, Higgins Carlisle, Pad
uoth, NOlCOlI, EuIuuuQS, sanders, Pet-
tigrew, Power, Stanford, Sawyer, stoekbridge,
Flair, Hoar, Hale, Washburn, Vest and Hiseock
There are those about the Senate who say
that there are several other newly born Duvalls,
among them Sherman Duvall, Matthew Stanley
Quay Duyall, and Arthur German Duvall but
the gentlemen thus honored insist that they
have not been called upon.
1t is understood that several of the Senators,
besides sending IS, also sent the little one sill
yer mug, spoon or some other token. The Vice.
President did not escape. There is Levi Nor
ton Duyail and he his father MI
silver cup appropriately inscribed. 1t is prob
able that proceedings will be instituted against
Duvall, notwithstanding the great size of his
leg,
