The Pullman HERALD is all home
print now, using power press. Pull
man few years ago was but small
town of little importance. To-day it is
one of the substantial, wide awake cities
in Eastern Washington. The business
men and others who made their money in
Pullman have not been afraid to invest
it again in legitimate business enter
prise, such as mills, banks, water works,
electric lights. buildings, etc, and the
consequence is that every stranger who
comes to Pullman is an admirer of the
business tact of the citizens, fall in love
with the town and her way Of doing
business, locate Immediately and put
their shoulder to the wheel of progress
and assist the town to move onward
All the resources of state like Wash
ington would never have placed her in
the foremost rank in the Union if men
of enterprise and determination had not
aided her with their presence, capital
and brains. Neither would Pullman
have been anything but a one-horse
town if the residents had sat down,
folded their hands and awaited for the
town to make itself A town never
sprouted of its own accord and no town
ever grew into a city without help of
the people who make it their home.

taste than that displayed by Kippling,

Diggs is a very tough-looking charac-

Of very little consequence. The citi-

excited over the affair, and eye-wit-

doubtedly intentional. The condition
of Mr.. White is very critical, and the
physicians say that the wound will
quite likely be fatal.

colored voters Won't be Ignored.

CAMBRIDGE, Jan. pa large meet
ing was held in Cambridge Tuesday
evening by the colored Republicans for
the purpose Of calling a convention to
meet in Cambridge at an early date
The meeting was called to order by
IIarkness Bowley. James w. Derry
was elected chairman, and he, in few
well chosen words, set forth the object
of the call. Prof. James S. Dykes was
elected secretary. The convention will
be held sometime in March. 1t was de-
cided to call another meeting of local
Republicans to further the movement
and to appoint committees to draw up
plans. A league was temporarily organ.
ized, and committee was appointed on
permanent organization, which will be
perfected at the next meeting. 1t was
resolved that the colored vote of this
county was too great and respectable to
be longer ignored. The meeting also
proposed to go into ways and means to
stimulate that vote to an understanding
of their strength, so that they may en-
ploy it in increasing their political, in
dustrial and social condition.

The exact amount of the dog tax of
Christiana hundred is not known to the
county treasurer. He has not obtained
it from the collector There is no dog
tax in Wilmington hundred. The bal
ance due is subject to deductions for
errors and commissions The law pro-
vides that two-thirds of the taxes shall

dreds not named, has beed paid.

Views of the Wilmington Indian Asso-
citation Upon the Indian Problem.
The following has been prepared for
publication by the Wilmington Indian
Associations
II is conceded by those most familiar
with the whole situation that the causes of
the present war are First the revolt of
savage Indians against civilization; second,
hunger and want of clothing; the presence
of incompetent and unsuitable agents; and
fourth, the messiah Crazen It is gen
orally believed that had the debt due to
the Indians been paid, and the rations due
sent, and had the former good agents still
been in charge of the agencies, the conflict
Of arms might have been avoided.
We wish to urge upon the public, thus
bringing influence to bear on Congress:
first, the payment of what is due TO the
Sioux Indians; second the sending at once
of needed supplies, as also pledged and
third, that civil service reform rules shall
from this date be applied to the appoint
ment of all officials and teachers among
Indians.
1t is not enough that good men and
women be sent to fill these places; eXper-
ience also is indispensable: and wherever
service they should be retained or re-
moved only for proper cause. 1t is folly
to expect progress of the Indians so long
as those who have learned how to work
among them are dismissed for a new set
of employees thowever worthy every three
or four years. If only permancnce in In
dian work can be secured Indian progress,
self-support content and peace will be as

noon Senator Vest has occupied the
floor on the subject of correcting the

without quorum.
BLAIR TAKES THE CHAIR.
Vice-president Morton not being
pliable enough to suit the Republicans,
he was induced to vacate the chair in
favor of Senator Blair IN. H., who has
just been defeated for reelection. He
promises to rule as arbitrarily as the
majority may wish. and already several
of his decisions have dspleased the
minority. Vain attempts have been
made during the evening to muster a
quorum, and Republicans have broken
pairs with absent Democrats in spite of
protests from the other side Senators
Stanford tCal.), Mitchell (Ore.), and
Spooner (Wis.l, were brought into the
chamber to help make u quorum, in
in evening dress, having been inter
rupted in the midst of dinner party.

LETTER FROM DIR. TODD.
He Says Grace Church Has Received
Pastors From This Conference.

| thStDFs FROM ihl@ SOhttrfHcB.
Editor Gazette d J0urady: In your issue
Of the 22d inst. appears the following
Conference Chronicle says; "0nr confer
4 ence is to be invited TO hold the session of
1889 in Grace Church, Wilmington. This
| is a slight recognition of the fact that this
church belongs TO the Wilmington Confer
ence. although, as yet, no minister of this
| conference has been deemed capable of
occupying its pulpit in the pastoral rea-
| tom
1t is evident that the Conference Chron-
icSe is very young journal and that its
memory does not run back very far.
| Had il consulted the Conference min
utes it would have learned that when
Grace Church was built and for three
years thereafter there was no Whining
ton Conference. During those years
the church received its pastors from the
conference to which it belonged, viz:
The Philadelphia. The Rev. Alfred
Goodman was appointed to that charge
in 1868. The Philadelphia Conference
was divided and the Wilmington created
in 1869, so that Alfred Goodman was
one of the original members of the Will
mington Conference and as such was
appointed to Grace Church in 1869 and
and 1870. In 1873 the Rev. DR.. Matlack,
member of several years standing in
the Wilmington Conference, was APP
pointed to the same charge. In the face
OF these facts, patent to all, the above
clipping is proof of objectionable
ignorance or of the most reckless writ
ing.
Moreover, a paper whose name indi-
Gates that it aspires to be a conference
organ, ought not to ignore conference
usage in its columns. Does not the
editor know that no Methodist minister
is appointed for more than one year at
time? DIR. j. e. Smith was transferred
from the Central Pennsylvania Confer
ence in 1874 and stationed at Grace
Church. BY that transfer he became
member of the Wilmington Conference,
and was reappointed as such in 1875 and
1876. DIR, Stevenson was transferred to
the Wilmington Conference in 1877 and
sent to Grace. In 1878 and 1879 he was
reappointed as member of the Will
mington Conference. DIR. Miller sue
ceeded him, and, although he came the
first year from another conference, in
1881 and 1882 he was appointed to Grace
as member of the Wilmington Con-
ference. The same thing is true Of DIR.
Bayle, who was appointed from the
Wilmington Conference in 1884 and
1885. came from the Newark Confer
ence to Grace in 1886, but since that
time for four successive years have re-
ceived my appointment to Grace as a
member OF the Wilmington Conference.
Tie truth is that out of the ~ years
since our conference was organized,
Grace church has received her pastors
16 times from the Wilmington confer
ence. Does the Conference Chroaic1e
mean to insinuate that man trans
ferred to this conference never becomes
a member thereof? If SO, | want to
record my protest against being read
out of the conference in this summary
manner. Yours, JACOB ToDD.
