Flathead People May Take the Law in
Their Own Hands.
The residents Of the Flathead valley are
probably as deeply interested in the removal
Of renegade Indians from this section as
they are in the outcome of the present cleo
tion, says the Kalispell Graphic. The
wholesale slaughter of game in and out of
season by the worthless redskins will, if
not checked. result in the extinction of
deer and other wild animals. II the In
dams only killed enough for their sub
sistence but little objection would be raised.
Within the past twelve months fully 5000
deer have been slaughtered by these people.
II will not be pleasing news to the settlers to
learn that the ar department does not feel
justified in taking measures that will result
in their removal. Complaints have gone
in from every source. Private citizens aud
officials have furnished abundance of proof
to the war department through the chief
executive of this state, who has also added
his own views in the matter. The result OF
this announcements may drive the settlers
to take the law in their own hands. al
though cooler heads have heretofore and
will now endeavor to discourage any such
action, but those who have never come in
direct contact with these orthless wretohes
or who have never suffered at their hands
cannot realize to what extent the residents

The Full Copy of the Grier Letter Given
Out for Publication.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.-The democratic
state chairman, j. Marshall Wright, has
given out copy of the much talked about
letter to him from VIM. Hayes Grier. 1t is
dated at Harrisburg Got. 6. and reads as
follows:
my Dear Sir: want to call your atten-
tion at once to an Important matter. IL ia
evident to my mind that the change in the
size of the ticket will prevent some of the
counties in this state from having an cleo
ton. We are now prenaring form of
ticket that will be official, and the Erie
county ticket is the one used. It will take
paper twenty-five inches by fifty-two inches
for the ticket and colored paper tor speci-
men twenty-five inches by fortv-six. Some
of the counties may have less names than
Erie county. but am Of opinion that no
county will take sheet less than twenty
two by fifty for its ticket and twenty-five
by forty-six for specimen. The time re-
quired for printing is limited by law, and
but very few printing Offices in
the state have a perforating machine.
You. as chairman. should notify
the commissioners of democratic counties
to be on the alert and get contracts made
wherever they oRn. There is not enough
paper in the country of sufficient size to
print the ticket. Fayette county has con-
tracted for her tickets (by wire) with X. f.
Meyers. He can do the work for only three
or four counties and will not go beyond his
ability to complete. Our strong democratic
counties ought first to receive attention.
for Philadelphia will by some means get
her tickets. Berks, York, Lehieh, North
ampton and others whose status you know
better than l can tell yov, should be given
pointer. Do you think / am an alarmist
In this matter? 1t is condition, not a
theory, that presents itself, and you may
do we'll to remember my prophesy that
some localities III the state will not be able
to vote in November for want of tickets.

for refusing to pay tho eabman, he had as
a companion we'll known thief named

HARMONY AND VICTORY,

The action of the Republican State
| Convention yesterday says the New York
Press was wise, efficient and harmonious
1t demonstrated at once the unity and
confidence of the party. 1t showed that
the New York grand division of the army
of Republicanism is prepared for battle
on the winning issues of 1888; that it is
ready to fight with loyalty and determi.
nation for the standard bearer named at
Minneapolis, whoever he may be.
The delegates at large are well chosen.
1t was fitting that they should be the
same eminent Republicans that consoli-
dated the New York delegation in 1888,
and gave to the voice of the Empire
State the weight to which it was entitled
in the national convention.
The resolutions adopted have the ring
of genuine Republcanism. The platform
of the Republican party in 1888 is reaf-
firmed: the souud and successful states
manship of President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine is heartily indOrsed !;
the benefits that have come from the
Mckinley law and reciprocity are briefly
but forcibly recounted; Republican
advocacy OF the honest dollar is again
proclaimed; the outrageous suppression
of the ballots of colored citizens in the
South is denounced, and the Democracy
of this State is sternly arraigned for the
succession of revolutionary and criminal
acts that resulted in reversing the legally
expressed will of the the people and in
creating a fraudulent majority in the
Legislature. The Hill-Tammany con-
spiracy to falsity election returns; the
theft of official records; the elevation of
the disgraced politician, Maynard, to the
bench of the States highest court; the
attempted Tammany invasion of Central
Park for racing purposes; the passage
of the infamous Excise bill and the Tam
many scheme to return to the corrupt
election methods of Tweed in this city
are recalled and explicitly condemned.
The record of the Democratic party in
this State is SO disgraceful that the force
of this emphatic aTTaignment win be felt
from one end of the State to the other.
The conduct of the Democracy puts it on
the defensive at the outset. Every cir
cumstance calls for an aggressive Repub-
lican campaign, both on national and
State issues. The Press is confident
that such a campaign will be waged.
Against the divided Democracy it will
assuredly be successful. New York is
Republican State in Presidential year.
Republican energy and enthusiasm make
it certain that in 1892, as in 1898, the
electoral vote of the Empire State will
be cast for the Republican candidate for
President.

Mnnle Sugar by steam.

1t is said that the evaporation of ma
pie sap by steam has been successful in
Northern Ohio. The sugar camp that
attracts the most attention is that of
Capt. G. f. Henry, who has 5000 trees,
and has discarded the arch and evapOra-
tor, and boils by steam. A 40-horse
boiler is used to generate steam, and the
pans are made of maple planks. The
reducing of the sap is rapid and attend
ed with no burning of sap on the sides,
or trouble with ashes, smoke or dust
that will exist in the room where the
common evapoTator is used. The con-
sumption of fuel is about half less than
where the "arch' is used, and the beauty
of the method is that the syrup can be
run down to any grade in the steam
syrup pan by the accurate determination
of the thermometer 1t is believed that
this steam process is the coming one for
the manufacture of maple sugar. A 10
horse power is counted sufficient for 400
trees, which is considered cheaper than
putting in an iron arch and tin or gal
vanized evaporator.-MirrOr and Farm

"What the wooden manufacture of the
United States now needs, before all else,
is period of entire rest from tariff agi-
tation aiming at radical departure from
the conditions upon which the industry
is now organized, and to which 1t has
been fully adjusted" So says the Ma
tional Association of Woolen Manu- ac-
turers in their protest against the free
wool bill. These manufacturers have
sense enough to know that they can not
have protection for themselves alone and
none for other people. They understand
that American industries must stand to-
gether and make a common defense
against the assaults of the free trade De-
mocracY.

Should President Harrison and ex-
President Cleveland be the opposing
candidates for president this year, it
would be the first instance in fifty-two
years, and the third in the history of the
Government, of second race for the

Adams were the opposing presidential
candidates in 1896 and 1900, and Martin
Van Buren and William Henry Harrison

A Well l-tO-do Farmer Mesmerized and
Fleeced,

A special despatch from Bristol to the
Troy Telegram, under date of Wednes-
day, summarizes several columns of al
legged details about daring out rage per-
petrated in open daylight, as fallows:
on Monday, a fine looking man regis
tered at the Bristol House in this village
under the name of j. L. Mason of Bur
lingtOn. He was about 30 years old, 5
feet, 10 inches tall, with red moustache
and weighed about 100 pounds.
During the afternoon, he visited Elisha
Hewitt, farmer, representing himself
to be the cashier of the Burlington bank,
and was in search of farm for his sis
ter. He looked the farm over, saying
his sister would be there on Tuesday,
between 8 and 10O'clock. Tuesday, he
drove into Hewitt's yard and got Hewitt
to go over the farm again. During the
drive, Mason, it is said, mesmerized
Hewitt and took him to the foot of
mountain and left him.
About midnight, Tuesday, Hewitt
found himself at Lincoln, nine miles
away. He arrived at Bristol at o'clock
Wednesday morning. Hewitt had $500
in his vest pocket, $50 in his wallet, and
a watch, Mason took the money, leaving
the rest.
Mason and partner then went to New
Haven, and called on Samuel S. Wright,
where they worked the double tin trunk
game, scooping in $500 from Wright
They went from there to Vergennes
where they secured fresh horse, and
drove to Richmond. Here it is suppos-
ed they took train for Boston. 1t is
reported here that Albany detectives ara
on track of them. Mason's partner was
dark complexion, and it is thought here
that Mason is none other than O'Brien,
the bunco king. Hewitt is about 10
years old and quite vigorous. He seems
worn out and badly mixed in mind.
