TO THE PUBLIC,

With this issue of the HERALD the un-
dersigned sewers his connection with
this paper. Will Allen, who has been
associate editor, having purchased the
entire plant, will conduct the paper in
his own name. AT best there is no for
tune to be made in country newspaper,
and unless every one does part in sup
porting their local paper success cannot
be expected. Liberal patronage makes
a good newspaper and good newspaper
makes the town. The patronage which
the business men of Pullman have ex-
tended to the HERALD in the past was
entirely satisfactory, and was duly appre-
clated. The HERALD has tried to do its
duty toward the town, advocating its
interests and upholding 1t against the
world. We are willing to submit to the
citizens as to whether or not any good
has resulted to the town through this
agency. The policy of the paper will be,
in the future, what it has been in the
past, but enlarged and improved, and 1
bespeak for the new proprietor the hearty
support of our citizens.
All bills due the paper up to February
1st are due and payable to me, and as I
desire to close the business up as soon
as possible I will expect settlement in
the near future of all bills which are due.
Respectfully,
THOMAS NELL.

Mcdonnell in the Senate.

W. J. Mcconnell only has a short
time to stay in Washington City in his
official capacity, but he is getting in
good work while he Is there. His first
speech, made in favn Of free coinage.
was a very good d al5nment, and the
following is an extract therefrom:
1T is most universally admitted that
the scarcity of money is the cause of the
depression. In fact, There can be no
other cause. Our mines of iron, coal,
copper, silver, and gold are yielding up
their stores of metal. Our manufactor-
les are turning out finished products Of
all kinds, and yet the people are not
prosperous. We have the richest, the
greatest producing couatry in the world,
and yet our people are poor. In the ten
years just passed our farmers have pro
duced by their labor from the teeminc
soil articles for food ara clothing valued
at the enormous sun Of S25,000,000
The miners have day--from the earth
minerals iron, gold, silver, copper, coal.
etc, valued at $5,0O0a00, and the arti-
sans engaged in skilled toll have turned
out of the factories and workshops arti
cles valued at S50,000,000, x Il
And yet the men who do this are poor
and suffering. What is the cause of
this anomanly? x The earth
has been generous and responded to the
call of the farmer who asked it to give
him corn, wheat, cotscn, hay, and the
various other articles 5e raises. It has
not refused its treasures to the miner
who delved in its DEPTHS for coal, or
iron, or silver, or golot What then, has
been the cause that tbe returns for labor
are so small, and that discomfort is
abroad in the land when there ought to
be peace, contentment end plenty. This
is a problem we are called on to answer.
Mr. President, believe that this con
dition is caused by scarcity of money,
which enables the few to control what
there is to the detriment Of the many.
This being so, what is the remedy? We
believe that it is the making of more
money. Gold and silver have always
been money. But they are only money
when some governments puts its stamp
upon them and says this piece Of gold
and that piece of silver shall haye a
certain value. The geld or silver as it
comes from the mines or assay office is
simply commodity Ike wheat or cotton
or beef. 1t is not money. When the
government takes any specified amount
Of it and says, this is $40, that 81, it be-
comes money; and neither of these
metals ever has been or ever Will be
money until some government does this
act"

AMONG THE NArcHgz.

They are Divided off into two
Classes Mobiles and Common Peo-
Pile,
The Natchez were divided into
mobiles and common people, which
last, with an arrogance not peculiar
to savage alone, were designated
"stinkards.
The mobiles themselves were divided
into Suns, mobiles, and men OF rank.
The Suns, according to tradition, We're
descended from man and woman
who come down from the sun to teach
them how to live and govern them
selves. They enjoyed immunity from
punishment by death, and their no.
bllity was transmitted only through
the iemalelin Although the children,
both male and female, bore the name
OF Suns, the males enjoyed this hon
or IN their own persons alone. Their
male children were only mobiles; the
next generation were men OF rank, and
the third lowered them to plain stink
ards, although distinguished actions
might retard the deterioration OF the
blood. But the case was very differ
ent with the female posterity. They
enjoyed through all generations the
privileges OF their rank. I.audoniere
speaks OF queen "who was much rev
erenced by her subjects when he
visited Florida"
The nobility never intermarried. As
We have already noticed, one oil their
laws prohibited their being put to
death for any reason whatsoever.
Another law decreed that when a sun
died, his or her coniugal partner should
be put TO death at the time OF burial.
TO fulfil these two laws they only mar
ried stinkards The Popular Science.
