One of the leading newspapers In Virginia,
the Petersburg Index-Appeal, in politics in
dependent. has been discussing the neces-
sity Of ballot reform law for the Old
Dominion. The present law, it declares, is
dscreditable to the intelligence and charac-
ter OF the people of the state, only kept upon
the statute books by the efforts of artful
politicians who have persuaded the voters
that free and honest ballot would imperil ex-
isting institutions. The Index-Appeal says /:
''If honesty aud fair play don't agree with
our institutions then there is something
radically wrong with our Institutions and
they ought to be remodelled. The bugaboo
of negro rule In the South is effectually dis
posed of by our census returns aud no longer
frightens any intelligent man. though it Is
very successfully used to corral the votes OF
ignorant men and to maintain cunning lead
ers in power" This statement is refresh.
ingly frank; but that is all 1t will amount to
for some time to come. So long as those
frauds In the South can be made the means
of giving the Democrats an unfair advantage
in the affairs of the national government SO
long will the political machine In the South
continue its methods, and 50 long will par.
ties and interests in the North having axes
to grind on the Democratic grindstone ex-
cuse and palliate the frauds.

Gov. Campbell OF Ohio, some time ago felt
called upon to apologize for the silver resolu-
ton adopted by the Democratic convention.
Now he is explaining away the tariff
resolution. That resolution declared in
favor of tariff for the sole purpose OF
producing revenue, and an income tax
Ii that does not describe free trade
programme pure and simple, then no words
can. But Campbell now says he is believ.
er in free trade as Garfield was, "who," &C.
cording to Campbell, believed in protec-
tion that would produce free trade" Even
accepting that statement of Garfeld's view
to be correct Campbell cannot be in accord
with Garfield and still believe in the plat
form OF the Ohio Democrats, for that en-
tirely discards protection for any purpose.
1t is nothing new, however, for Democratic
candidate to rip out planks from the plat
form on which convention has placed him.
Mcclellan did that as long ago as 1864.

The Canadian government is considering
the policy Of prohibiting the use of purse
seines in Canadian waters, and the other day
In the Dominion parliament at Ottawa, Mr..
Upper, the minister Of marine and fisheries,
introduced bill to this effect. Mr. Upper
explained In introducing the bill that the
purse seine was destructive Of the mackerel
fisheries, and that the State OF Maine had
already set the example in prohibiting purse
SEEMING in her waters, that is, within the
three mile limit in certain bays. or course
the Canadians could leglslate only for the
waters within their three mile limit. In
general the sentiment of the Canadian fisher.
men seems to be in favor of such law, al
though some maintain that new habits on
the part of the fish rather than the purse
seines have caused the scarcity of mackerel.
AS general thing the Canadian fishermen
have not yet come to the use OF these seines,
which are American devices not yet wholly
approved by the conservative Canadians.
OF course any regulations that Canada may
make will have no relation, theoretical at
least, to the fisheries of Americans in pro-
vinsial waters; because Americans are de-
barred from the three mile limit anyway.
The consideration of the bill does not seem
to have been completed in the Canadian par
Lament; but 1t seems likely to pass.

The New York Sun is catechizlng the
various gentlemen prominently mentioned
as candidates for the governorship on the
law which forblds the publication of the de-
tails OF executions. Messrs. Roswell P.
Flower. Edward F. Jones (the freight-payer),
Alfred q. Chaplin (mayor of Brooklyn,
William f. Sheehan and Alton B. Parker
respond promptly that they are for repeal
Ing the prohibition to which the Sun objects.
-see also are Messrs. w. 81. Robertson, Stew
art L. Woodford, B. F. Tracy, Cornelius Van
Colt and Chauncey Depew. Several of these
gentlemen. however. express wish that the
newspapers would report the dispatching of
condemned murderers In plain, matter-of-
fact way, and not sensationally. Mr..
Frederick A. Schroeder thinks the public is
not nearly SO hungry for the kind of news in
question as some editors imagine. 81 am In
favor" writes Collector j. Sloan Fassett, "of
the repeal of that section which prohibits
the printing of the details. because the news
papers seem bound to print the stuff, and it
is better to give them full permission to do
so than to have them violate law which I'M
der no circumstances will ever be enforced"
Messrs. Andrew d. White and John II.
Starin decline to answer the Suns catechism.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan.
TO expectations there
was no conference between chiefs OF
the hosiiles and General Miles. The
latter states the Indians are still tlmid
and apprehensive Of punishment, aud
he proposes to allow n couple Of days
t. elapse before attempting to bring
the negotiations to q close. Thus far
the disposition he has shown to treat
the Indians kindly has made for him
mahy warm friends among them.
There is now under discussion the ad-
visibility of enlisting scouts for service
on the reservation. The agency is
now guarded by n force Of 80 Indian
policemen, sixty Of whom were enlist
ed for two months at the time trouble
broke out. An offer has been made
giving them the option OF en- ering on
scouting service or remaining in the
police force. In the former their pay
will be thirteen dollars per month with
the allowance Of forty cents per day
for their horses. This amounts to
about S25 per month. This party OF
scouts will be distinct from scouts now
under the command of Lieutenant
Taylor of the Ninth cavalry. II was
thought the Indian police would Op-
pose the plan of transfer to scouting
service beca use the term Of enlistment
In the latter army is only six months
They feared at the end OF the first en-
listment they would be discharged
from the service, and thus left without
occupation. Having been assured
they would be given permanent EN-
ployment. they have, to q man. decid'
ed to become scouts. Big Foot's wife
one Of the women injured on Wounded
Knee, died last night in the hostile
/ camp.

greatest natural wonders of the world
It's Yosemite valley, its big trees. its
petrifed forests, and its innumerabls
other attractions substAntiate this a.
sertion. One of the latter class, little
known and rarely s,poken of, is tho
Death Valley of Inyo county, in many
respects the most remarkable of item
all.
Imagine a trackless waste Of sand
and rock, shimmering under the rays
of a more than tropical sun, kemmed IN

aims whose very impress is that Of etsr>

IF Death Valley. Geographically it Is
the sink of the Amargosa river. which
Is quite a marvel in itself. II rises in
the western Sierras about two miles
from the CaliforI.la line. and flows
southward for ninety miles. when Il
disappears from sight in the bed Of an
ancient lake at the foot Of the Resting
Spring mountains. \ little further

other sixty miles. when il again returnn
10 its subterranean channel Still again
It reappears and flows nearly 100 miles,
when it finally disappears in the sink
Of the DeathValley, quite a remarkable
river
Death Valley is about eight miles
broad by thirty-five long, and cum
prises some 800 square miles Of TIN
most God forsaken country in the

some terrible curse, such as we read Of
in the Scriptures. 1t lies far below tha

Agent Pierce's scheme

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan.
lS.-The hostile Indisns still remain
in the camp they went into yesterday,
about two miles from tina agency.
They have made 90 attempt to come
nearer, with the exception of those
who desired to visit some of the
friendlies, and who were compelled to
take a circuitOus route around the
agency TO reach them. These were
generally met at out half a mile be
yond the breastworks by the pickets.
by whom they were compelled to sur
render their arms until after their re-
turn from their visit. The number of
these visitors this morning was some
what greater than yesterday. Young
Man -Afraid-Of-H His Horses came in
from the camp this morning TO ar
range for meeting of the hostile chiefs
with General Miles. Captain Pierce,
the new agent. has q plan Of enlisting
four companies Of Indians TO do duty
on the reservation instead OF white
sold ere, after this trouble shall have
blown over. Il is also felt the Indians
will be expected to give up all their
arms and Jake q receipt for them from
the agent, aud they will be guaranteed
protection by the enlisted force Of
their own people. General Miles, it is
said, is In favor Of this plan. Agent
Pierce In making an Investigation OF
the amount of rations issued, and II is
rumortd, has made some interesting
discoveries. Today he sent out Colo
mel Kent and Captain Baldwin, under
escort Of X troop Of the Seventh cav
airy. Lieutenant Squires, into = corral
20 weigh the cattle received there last
October. The cattle then had an aver
age weight Of l.l32 pounds. Today
the average weight was but little over
900 pounds. This elbows q shrinkage
Of over 200 pounds per head, for which
the go sernment paid and of which the
Indians viii be deprived.
