rleED OF POLITICS.
Chairman Carter Explains Why the Cam.

&uHlHttthA GAHpOE GAPA0hSn why eho O~s~A
paign is So Very Quiet.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-"The people Of
the country have simply grown weary
of politics." This was what Chairman
Carter of the Republican national COM
mittee said the other day in Washington
in explanation of the apparent lack Of
interest upon all sides in the present
campaign.
"You will see about as lively q cam
paigfl at the wind.up as you have
ever seem" continued Chairman Carter,
obut the life of the brisk part of
the campaign will be very short-a
couple of weeks long. / predict that
in future presidential campaigns will
grow shorter and shorter, till they will
be of but few weeks duration, and
there will be apparently little interest
shown in them. The real interest is
none the less now from what it ever has
been, hut the voters have come to look
upon and regard campaigns differently
from the way they did years ago. They
don't get excited. We reach voters now
by reasoning with them. There is nc
appeal to prejudice upon either side,
| The race, sectional and war issues are
about over. Men vote, when they vote
from conviction only, after studying the
| questions involved.
1.-THE days of brass bands and torch
| lights and barbecues and fiashy uniformf
are over. Voters read now and they
listen to public speakers. They make
up their minds In the quietpde of Their
homes. 1t is a question of principles
: of patriotism. The best interests Of the
i country are hazarded in presidential
campaign. It Is more of a question Of
America for Americans than of party
supremacy. To my mind the greatest
question in our campaign is that Of
/ home interest whether we shall run
this government with an eye single tt
the future greatness of the country ani
prosperity of the people, or whether W.
Shall run 1t with q view to pleasing
Gseat Rfitain.
"About the only thing necessary in. q
campaign nowadays" said the chair
man, .'is to explain the issues which
divide the two parties. The voter car
make up his mind. / have frequently
Thought to myself that il we could IL
our conventions adopts platforms which
/ would beyond dispute mark out thu
differences between the positions of thu
various parties there would be no use Il
have organizations further than to ge
our positions before the voters.
,"1 wish each party could name small
committee at its national convention t.
meet Jointly and come to an understand
ing as to the dividing lines. We spen
! most of our time disputing over the posi-
tons we assume on various issues. L
the public mind could be sure as Il
where the parties stood there would b.
no trouble about results without 81
much organization"

in Two Weeks.
PrrTsBuRa, Oct. 4.-Four of the
Homestead strikers charged with
treason furnished the required $4,000
bail each Monday morning and were re-
leased. The men released were John
Dierken, George Rylands, Daniel Lynch
and w. HI. Caches.
David Lynch, another of the strikers,
who has, been diligently sought for a
month on charges OF murder, riot, con
spiracy and treason, was arrested Mon
day morning and lodged in Jail. gas
The search for the remaining twenty
eight Homesteaders who are accused of
treason continues, but no others have
been captured, and the police are in
clined to think they have left this part
of the country. Friends Of the accused,
however, say they will surrender when
their lawyers advise, and pr0ffers Of bail
are said to be plentiful from Pittsburg
merchants. -a9 :
Excitement over the treason charges
preferred against the Homestead men
in the supreme court is abating, though
there is still much discussion on the sub
ject and great interest is manifested in
the coming trials. Nsibt
Mr.. Bremen, counsel for the defense,
says that he expects the cases to come
up within two weeks and the attorney
for:the prosecution says there is no reason
why the matter should not come up
early in the term.

BLACKS AGAINST WHITES.

A Bloody Instruction on a Mississippi
Plantation.
CLARKsDALE, Miss, Oct. 4.-Sheriff
Harris, of this place, on Sunday, with a
posse of twenty-seven men went to
Friar's Point to J. X. Wilkinson's plan
tation and put down an instruction of
the negroes against the whites. Two
colored men were killed outright and
nine captured.
In addition to the two men killed,
several are said to be MORALLY wounded.
The blacks took to the brush and are
still out, all armed. None of the whites
are reported hurt. From confessions
made by some of the prisoners 1t is
learned that they have organized an
order among themselves, comprising the
whole neighborhood, with passwords
and grips, with the avowed purpose of
killing the whites. The greatest excite
ment prevails The colored men are
thoroughly organized, and fears are en-
tertained that the end has not been
reached. Mr.. Sessions, manager of the
plantation, was fred upon three times,
but was not hurt. The town is without
telegraphic facilities.

JEALOUS OF Us.
Attempt to Bride the President
Of San Domingo
To Abregate the Reciprocity
Treaty With Us.

He Declines Gesmany's Offer of 800, 900 a
Year for Life Until He Finds Uncle Sam
Will Pay Him No More-His Messenger
Sails for Germany Presumably to Accept
That Offer.
NEW York, Oct. 4.-The governments
Of Great Britain, Germany and Italy
have observed with jealousy the great
advantages which the Americans are
reaping from the reciprocity treaty with
San Domingo, and it is said have en-
tered into a common conspiracy to de-
stroy that treaty. Germany, 1t is said
offered Ulyssus Heureaux, president Of
San Domingo, an annual bride of $50,
600 for life if he would declare the reci
procity treaty with the United States
abrogated.
This tempting offer was not promptly
accepted. On the contrary, Mr.. Heur.
eaux held it under consideration for 9
while, and sent confidential messenger
to the United States to see how much
we would raise Germany's ante. This
messenger arrived in New York two
weeks ago, and called upon Eggers &
Heineman, of 8 South William street
for whom he is a correspondent in Sar
Domingo. Then he went to Washing
ton, where he visited Secretary John W
Foster, and delicately intimated thu
proposition of President Heureaux.
It was to the effect that if the United
States would give him $4,000 year h
would refuse Germany's offer and sticl
to the United States. Otherwise oul
trade with San Domingo must be sacri
feed. Foster told the envoy that thu
American government was neither to b
bulldozed nor to be blacl1mailed. 1T Sai
Domingo breaks her treaty she mus
take the consequences of her act.
On receiving this ultimatum the mes
senger left Washington and returned t.
New York Last Thursday he left thu
city by steamer for Germany, where
presumably he will nail that $780, 200.

A t4ALF-BREEp HEIREss.
An indian Girl Who is Probably worth
S1,5OO,OOO.

$1,5OO,O0O.
PHOENIX, "A. T., Oct. 4.-There has
appeared as claimant to the 81, 800, 900
estate of John ID. Walker an Indian girl,
twenty-one years old, named Juana
Walker. John ID. Walker died last
summer in an insane asylum at Napa,
Cal. There were four claimants, two
brothers, a sister and Eleanor D..
Walker, a wife whom he had recently
married at Tucson.
Applications made to the probate
court of Pinal county were resisted by
Eleanor d. Walker, as the widow. The
probate court passed an order refusing
to recognize her as his widow and an
appeal was taken to the district court.
After tedious suit judgment was
given against the alleged widow on the
ground that the nuptial knot was tied
while Walker was of unsound mind.
The case was again appealed to the su-
preme court.
Walker came to Arizona in the sixties
and lived among the Pima Indians. He
was elected chief, and formulated their
language into an alphabet. Attorneys
for Mrs Walker believed that he would
hardly have led the life OF q celibate
among the Indians and that perhaps an
alleged mythical Indian maiden whom
he talked of much was really an of
spring of the chief of the Pimas.
Acting ON this belief they have discov.
cred that there is resident in Mesa, one
Juana Walker, daughter of John d.
Walker, whose mother was a Pima In
dian. The daughter is now twenty-one
years of age and her facial resemblance
to Walker is sufficiently strong TO pre-
clude all doubt that she is his child.
There appears to be no doubt of the
parentage or moral rights of the newly
discovered party to this romantic case,
Her legal right as half-breed remains
to be established.
