THE KICKED STICK.
An Exciting Game Played by the ~
Indians.

An Exciting Game Played by the Zunl
Indians.
All is now ready; each rider has his
eye on his favorite side, an old priest
rides in advance and sprinl1les sacred
meal over the course, the starters kick
the sticks, and the widest excitement
prevails. AS each racer left his home
he put into his mouth two shell beads
the one he drops as a sacrifice as he
starts, the other when he has covered
about one-half the course. The stick
is tossed rather than kicked, and a
good racer will toss it from eighty to
one hundred feet Over the heads of
the runners it goes and falls beyond
the first man. He simply points to
where it lights, and runs on. The next
man tries to kick it, but should he fail
to get under it he goes on, and the next
man takes it. The race is not to the
swift alone, although this has much to
do with it. The stick can in no case be
touched with anything but the foot,
and should it fall into cactus bush, a
prairie dog hole or an arroyo, much
valuable time is lost in getting it out
Not infrequently it happens that one
side will be several miles in advance OF
the other when the stick falls into
some unnoticed hole. The wild and
frenziea yelling which takes place as
those who were behind come up and
pass can only be imagined and not de-
scribed. So skill in tossing it plays
prominent part. On, on they go to the
southern hills, east to Ta-ai-yai-lo-ne,
north to the mesas, follow these west
for miles, then to the southern hills
and back again to the starting point.
The distance traversed is Learly twenty
five miles, and they pass over it in
about two hours. Racing is indulged
in by the excited horsemen as they ap-
proach the goal, and it is not unusual to
see pony drop over dead from cxhaus-
tion as they near the village,-J. G.
Owens, in Popular Science Monthly.

UNDER the head "McKinley's
Bill Did it," the Nashville Ameri-
can says ''that this country import
ed less cutlery from Sheffield this
year thsn last by thirty-6ve thous-
and dollars" Yes, that's a starter
on q single item. We've got the
thirty-fve thousand dollars still in
this country. Have had all the cut
lery we wanted to use. Haven't
paid any more for it, and now posi-
bly, the American will kindly explain
the innuendo contained in its head
ing, or rather shall we say for it,
the Mckinley bill kept thirty-fve
thousand dollars at home this year
just on the small item Of cutlery.
The total importation this year WIS
only about forty thousand dollars.
If the bill will do that we'll for US
next year, the imports will be FIVE
thousand and the next year the ex-
ports will be ten thousand, and 80

the matter with the Mckinley bill
anyhow?

A BILL has been introduced in the
state legislature of Minnesota to
limit the expenses Of candidates and
prohibiting newspapers from selling
their influence. Possibly the news
papers of Minnesota sell their infiu-
ence to politicians, but We don't be-
lieve it. The average newspaper
man is poor, but no amount Of mon
ey can buy his political or religious
opinions. They are about the only
thing that he is anyways certain OF
in this life. and are not for sale.
The backwoods politician who in
troduced that bill must have have
had to do battle with the press of
his "deestric" and like all untutor-
ed "haythen" thinks he must pay
off his enemies by shutting off their
income. lie never made greater
mistake than when he supposed the
opinions his opponents had of him
had been paid for.

MERCHANTS PLEASED.
The New Treaty VIII Largely In.
crease New Orleans Trade,

crease New Orleans Trade.
New Orleans, Feb. 5.-Opinion
in New Orleans is almost universal
ly favorable to tho Brazilian reel.
procity tresty, as expressed by mer.
chants and representative men.
G: H. Allen, . leading member Of
the Board Of Trade, said the idea
was an excellent one. If carried
into practical effect reciprocity will
have tendency to largely increase
our trade. If Brazil consents to ad-
NIT oil the products which she needs
free Of duty. the United States will
derive . great advantage by reciproc-
ity. The balance Of trade on 4 reel.
procity basis would be largely in our
favor. He thought the treaty would
materially stimulate trade, since the
United States stood praently in
- - % vutltt ~ "a pfSd 80
oil descriptions. The treaty with
Brasil. he thought, would lead to
stimulate treaties with other South
American countries.
W. B. Schmidt, one Of the largest
importers of the city, said the treaty
would certainly have beneficial ef-
feet on the trade of the entire coun-
try. He is President Of a contem-
plated steamship line between here
and Rio de Janeiro, which failed tor
the lack Of Government support.
Individuals, he said, could not sup
ply the capital necessary to equip
and maintain line Of ships without
subsidies from the Government.
Most Of the trade of this country and
Rio is transacted through tramp
steamers, and Brazil obtains her sup
ply Of needed material almost entire
ly from Great Britain. With the
reciprocity treaty III practical opera
ton there would be fair prospects
ahead for the establishment of steam
ship lines to carry this trade be-
tween our ports and those of the new
republic.
Other business men spoke in the
same strain and predicted the be t
sort of commercial results to the
country from the treaty.
The above is taken from the news
items of that great expounder of
bourbonism-the Nashville Daily
American, of the 9th inst. In its
editorial columns it is pleased to
curse the Mckinley bill as being
next to the force bill, the greatest
fraud on earth. When our demo-
cratic editors learn to base their
opinions on facts rather than their
hatred of the republican party, they
will carry more weight with the peo-
pie. That the last campaign was
carried on by the democratic party
on the basis of'y,ng, deceit and fraud,
as to the effects Of the Mckinley
tariff bill is a matter that is being
brought to light as the days go by.
No action that the general govern
ment has taken for years has been or
will be of so much direct benefit to
the south as will this, much lied
about Mckinley tariffbill. The fact
is that when the democrats were in
power they tried do something they
thought would benefit the country
but failed and now that the republi-
cans have succeeded in bringing for
ward a measure, and securing its
adoption, that thus early demon
strates its worth, the old mossbacks
are insanely jealous and fear, not
without reason, that in the coming
campaign two years hence they will
loose the ground their stupendous
lying gained for them in the last
election.
