A REUKLEss CRITIC OF MIR. 0AMDEN,

a RECKLESS CRITIC OF AR. CAMDEN.
Our esteemed Prohibition contem-
porary, the Quest speaks of Mr.. CAM
DEN as ''mouopolist The Quest APP
pears TO believe that because he has
made fortune he is necessarily a
monopoliSt. 1t is wrong. Mr.. CAM
DEN's wealth has been earned through
his own industry, ability and enter
prise, in his own State, whose natural
riches be has done probably more
than any other one man to develop
and place before the world. For
every dollar he has thus made the
State and its people have been benefited
many times as much. This is not the
way Of the monopOlist.
Neither does Mr.. CAMDEY's public
record SAVIOR in any degree Of monopo-
listlc tendency or sympathy. He has
always affiliated with the Democratic
party, and has always opposed the mon
ouolistic legislation of the Republican
party. His voice and vote have al
ways been on the side of the plain
people. The Quest should not be so
reckless in its criticisms.

AHOMELEss PEOPLE.

Had the result OF the census OF
farms, homes and mortgages been made
pnblic during the late campaign it
is highly probable that the land
slide would have been several de-
grees more extensive than it was.
Indeed, the totals are still withheld
aud probably will be Indefinitely II
PORTER is left TO consult his own
wishes. 1t is known, however, that
the total number OF tenants not owning
homes in the cities OF the country will
reach about 75 per cent. Of the urban
population included in the investiga-
ton. OF the remaining25 per cent. Oc-
supyiug their own homes about half
hold under mortgage.
Toe number of tenant farmers shows
marked increase since 1850, and there
is marked decrease in the number Of
farms. In Illinois as in Maine, in South
Carolina as in Georgia, the number OF
tenant farmers has increased and the
number Of homecoming farmers de-
creased under the ten years Of Repubii-
can policy.
Speaking Of the effect OF this condI-
ton 10 the West, the st. Louis Republic
SAYS: "The present system is one
OF slavery that in some respects is more
unjust than actual ownership Of the
slaves person. Two or three thousand
persons, nOn-residents, located in the
Northeast, own whole States in the
Wes', and in one way aud another draw
from them as revenues the net profits
Of the labor Of millions OF people" 1t
adds:
This cannot last and the people are max
Ing up their minds that it snail not last.
The workers OF the West and South are
entitled TO something more than bare
living They are entitled TO live under q
government system that will allow them
70 keep their net earnings that they may
invest them in homes, and that the number
of home owners may increase Instead OF
decreasing.
The policy of controlling trade and the
currency heretofore pursued cannot be
carried further without producing the
most disastrous effects. 1t is a dangerous
business. this of trifing too far with blind

roast turkey by the light of the camp


The old gobbler was fine specimen
of wild turkey, and his gaudy plumage
of rich golden bronze shone brightly in
the warm sunlight. He had fallen no.
bly, in the van Of the whole flock, and
the feathers were still pulled out as
they had been when hnrrying forward
TO the anticipated conflict with the un-
known gobbler near their roostin0 place.
We were not trying TO slaughter the
turkeys, and we did not attempt 20 pur-
sue them and call them into another
ambuscade that day
Later, however, we met the same
flock on the right bank Of the kissim-
NEE River preparing TO cross II. They
were mounted on the highest trees,
where they were waiting for the signal
to fly. Our appearance was signal
enough, and nearly hundred birds
plunged heavily through the air toward
the opposite bank. This offered fine
shots for us, and we winged several OF
the plumpest birds before they could
each the other shore.

Universal Sadness at the Home of Ex-
President Hayes.


Fremont, O.. January 19.-This little
city is to-day without doubt the center OF
universal interest. All Of the morning
trains brought in many distinguished peo-
pie and likewise special reporters for some
Of the State papers.

be accompanied by MS staff and ABOUT
three hundred members of the State Legis-
lature will arrive on special train and

will undoubtedly be great. The business
Of the city is almost at nd.stlll, many
Of the business houses being closed. To-
morrow the business part Of the city will
practically be dead All OF the business
houses will be closed. The Sandusky bar
held a meeting this morning and passed
resolutions of respect.
Col. H. :. BUckland, who has charge of
the funeral arrangements, stated that the
funeral will be held at ? p. In. from the
house but strong pressure has been brought
10 bear TO have the services held from the
Methodist Church, and the members OF the
family have therefore decided to have the
funeral services held from the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The indications now
are tnat many more distinguished
guests will be present than was
first anticipated. The citizens are rapidly
providing places for the shelter and feed
ing of those who will be present during
the last sad obsequies. Houses, halls and
public places have been placed at the dis
DOsal of the different committees. Ar
rangements are also being made 0y which
assignments TO the different places can De
made as desired. The different lodges and

TOPEKA, KAN, January l9.-The Popu-
list House Election Committee submitted
q report to-day ousting the Republican
members from Jackson and Reno counties,
holding their election was illegal. The
Senatorial Election Committee hold papers
against six Republican Senators. II is
probable five Republicans will take hand
and institute criminal proceedings against
Chief Clerk Rich for having made alleged
erasures and insertionsin the Official roll
over the signature OF the SECRETARY OF
State and the great seal OF the State This
action is clearly classed as forgery by the
statutes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January ia
careful investigation has been made by one
Of the anti-silver Senators, who has been
taken good deal into the confidence Of the
incoming administration, which indicates
that there will be a majority of at least five
in the upper body in favor of the suspen-
sion Of the present law compelling the
monthly purchase Of $4,000 ounces OF sill
yer. There are twelve Democratic Sena-
tors who may be relied upon TO support
what is known to be Mr.. Cleveland's strong
desire. These are Senators Bl0Odget,
Brice, Carlisle, Caffery, German, Gibson,
GRAY, Hill, Mcpherson, Palmer, Villas,
and White OF the Republicans there
are thirteen, free silver men, opposed TO
the proposed suspension Of the silver pur-
chase, unless they can get something in
stead wnicn will bring them nearer to a
free silver basis. According TO this, there
fore, there are twenty-Seven Democrats
and thirteen Republicans who are in favor
Of free silver, and who would oppose any
proposition looking 70 the REIMBURSEMENT
in any way of the present position held by
silver. On the other hand, there are are
twelve Democrats and thirty-hve RepuOi.
cans who are of the opinion that the pur-
chases must stop. There are two POpulist
members of the Senate who are silver men.
The inal vote upon the proposition would
therefore be, according 70 this showing,
fOrty-seven for suspension and forty-two
against, making q majority of five in favor
of some such resolution as that introduced
by Senator McP aerSOn.

INDIAN BuRlALs.
A Massachusetts, savant Thinks the Bones
Found at the Foreside Were Those of a
French OFFICER Buried by. the Indians.

The notice in yesterdays PRESS of the
finding of the bones of a soldier at
Waite's Landing, Falmouth Foreside,
occasiononed considerable interest.
Among those who called to see the photo
graph of the remains was Mr.. W. r. Mann
of Sharon, Massachusetts,, a member of
the New England Historical and Geneo-
logical Society, the Old Pilgrim Society,
and the Dedham Historical Society, Mr..
Mann has made some study of Indian
ways, and he agrees with Mr.. Bryant that
the bones were probably those of French
officer, buried by the Indians He says
that in 1854 he was at old Fort Halifax,
at the mouth of the Sebasticook, in Win
slow, near Waterville. In tracing the
location of the stockade he came upon
the grave of an Indian. This Indian,
a giant of six feet and three inches in
height, as his bones showed, was buried
on his left SIDE his face looking towards
the West and his legs drawn up. This is
the posture of the remains found at the
Foreside, and.s Mr.. Mann says that was a
favorite method of burial with the
Indians. The body found at Fort Halifax
was surrounded with remains of birch
bark, in which it had evidently been
encased No such remains were found
around the bones of the officer, who was
probably buried very hastily.
