Secret Motive Behind a Bill To Open
Indian Lands I'm Utah.


WASHINGTON, Dec. pa bill introduced
ton of those seemingly innocent measures
that attract little or no attention, but which.
between the lines, have an Importance that
Is far-reaching and is of vital interest to
people interested. The bill in question was
introduced by Mr. Rawlins, who made such
a determined and successful fight for the
passage of the bill admitting Utah to state
hood. 1t provides for the opening to the
public domain of the reservations OF the
Unitah and Uncompahgre Indians. In lam
guage the bill conforms TO the wording OF
innumerable other acts OF similar nature.
but there IS nowhere I'm IL any mention of
the valuable mineral deposits in which the
land involved is said TO be exceedingly pro-
life.
Ii said by persons who are familiar with
the country, and also by those who have In
vestigated the subject under governmental
orders, although their reports nave never
been made public. that asphalt is found
throu ghout certain portion OF the reserva-
ton that is worth $50 Some time ago
this subject came before the Secretary OF
the Interior and the chief of the Indian di-
vision of the Census Ofiee directed to
make a report on the quality OF the beds.
This was DONE and the report was sub
mitted to the Interior Department This re-
port shows that the lands are OF great value
and that the asphalt Is similar in quality
to that OF bombay which is imported in
the United States the best material for

may be added that truck-farming would

farmer. Furthermore, every acre in the
Northern States whose product in the mar
kets might be displaced by an acre in Cam
ada will be turned to wheat, corn, hay and
other tillage, of which there is already
abundance. Truck-farming gave employ
ment to 10000 men, 10000 women and 1900
children in 1889, to say nothing of making
use of 5000 horses and mules. The Will
son bill practically presents as much Of
this valuable and growing branch of ag
riculture TO Canada as it's people can avail
themselves of with their cheaper lands and
labor. AT time when the American farm
er needs wider markets and is turning to
diversified tillage, the tender of any portion
of the valuable truck-farming to Canada
is even worse than folly

DONJON A CRIMINAL.
The Crank Forged His Father's Name
to Money Orders.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-At the secret
service bureau Of the treasury it is stated
that the first information that the bureau
had concerning crank Donjon came last
Tuesday, when Chief Drummond received
a letter from Senator Mills asking him 10

criminal. In order to come to Washington
he had forged, it is stated, his fathers

ing in the orange groves in Florida. 1t Is
stated that as soon as Donjon obtained
this money he. put his father out of his
home and sold the household furniture,
leaving the old man In destitute circum-
stances He then went to the postoffice
and told the postmaster to send all his
letters to Havre de Grace, Md.
1t Is stated that there are several charges
on which the man can be held in case his
sanity is proven, viz: Sending threatening
blackmaii IL and forgery. It is said at the
secret-service bureau that under the laws
of the State of New Jersey his father can
be compelled to appear against him. There
will be hearing of the case in the Police
Court tomorrow. when Mr. Drummond
will appear against the prisoner;
Vice President stevenson said to-day in
regard to the arrest of Donjon that he was
surprised at the importance attached to
the arrest. He had received a number Of
erratic postal cards from Donjon, one or
two having been sent him from Washing

found but he had come to the conclusion
that the man was a harmless fellow, and
he refrained from notifying the authorities

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Gull

ative to the party caucus OF legislators

chosen, and John NJ. Palmer was chosen
Senator. The innovation has been steadily
gaining favor among the Illinois Repub-

The proposed law taxing legacies, recon-
mended by Secretary Carlisle and favored
by Mr.. Cleveland Is causing considerable
trepidation in States which have such a
law. Last year New York derived SOIL
6S7. and Pennsylvania $1,1ll,120 from their
inheritance tax laws and they do not relish
the idea Of this source of revenue being
appropriated by the general government.
The New York law imposes n tax of 1 per
cent. upon the direct heirs of personal prop
erty OF above $4,000 in value, and per
cent. upon the collateral heirs of real and
personal property of a total value of more
than $500 Corporations which receive leg
acies from estates OF real and personal
compelled to pay tax of 5 per cent. upon
the property thus bequeathed to them; the
only exception being religious corporations.
The bill introduced by Senator HILL and
which he will try TO have passed. proposes
to tax inherited estates of above 5000 in
value. Direct heirs are to be taxed l per
cent. on personal property. but are not to
be taxed on real property brothers and
sisters are TO be taxed per cent both
personal property and realty uncles and
aunts per cent on all kinds of property:
grandparents per cent. on all kinds OF
property. and corporations 10 per cent on
all kinds OF property, personal and real.
The people of New York and Pennsylvania
have become accustomed to this form OF
taxation. and il is probable those of other
States will soon have opportunity TO
get acquainted with IL.

A REDMAN'S STATE.
Mr.. HOlman's Proposition Concerning
the Indian Territory.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Chairman Hol-
man, OF the House committee Indian
affairs, to-day, in discussing the letter of
Governor Fishback, said that there is now
pending before the committee on Indian
affairs a bill designed to remedy existing
conditions by comforting on the United
States courts in the Indian Territory great
er authority than they now possess. 1t
was probable he said that the committee
would report the bill very soon after Con-
gress reassembled, and he would take oc
casion to ask its early consideration. The
bill was prepared at the Interior Depart
ment for the purpose Of securing better
government of the Territory.
Mr.. Holman has recently sent ex-senator
Dawes chairman OF the Indian Territory
Commission, his views regarding the state
hood movement, which the Dawes commits
sion is expected to report upon. He told
Mr.. Dawes that he thought 1t would be
advisable to move the Indians now in Ok
lahoma to the unoccupied lands Of the pres
ent western boundary of Indian Territory.
Instead of the irregular boundary that sep
arates the Territories, Mr.. Holman said,
he would have straight line, and would
create the States out of the Territories
He thinks that it would be good thing
to have an Indian State which would be
separate and distinct from the interfer-
ence and government of the white people
Oklahoma would contain about 22,000,0 900
acres and the eastern or indian State would
contain about 10 COO, 600 acres, both capa BILE
of making good States. Mr.. Holman says
that apart from other reasons In favor of
two States. there would be a sentiment in
having one State of Indian population to
work out it's own destiny In its own way,
with two Senators and Representative
to look after its rights in the national gov
eminent.
Representative McCrea, OF Arkansas, said
to-day that the letter which Governor Fish

THE REPUBLICAN DUTY.

Would it not be better to let the Wilson
bill be enacted. so far as the Republican
party is concerned? is a question which has
been asked the Journal. Would it not be
easier to overwhelm the Democracy when
the country should have experienced its
feating the Wilson bill?' The Journals
answer is that it is the duty of the Repub-
lican party to put an end to a policy the
very fear of which has filled the country
with distress at the earliest possible hour
when it's votes in Congress can do it. No
party. and particularly the party of Lin
people of this country to suffer as millions
are now suffering for the sake of what may
be called party expedency Indeed, it
should lose the Republicans in Congress the
support of the mass Of Republican voters
if they should fail to use their influence
to defeat the Wilson bill If their influence
and votes shall be able to compass its de-
feat. By SO doing they would be open TO
the same charge of Indifference to the pub
lie welfare which is being made against
the Cleveland leaders No fair-minded Re-
publican who appreciates the condition of
millions of people in this country can say
In the spirit of resentment: "They have
voted to try free trade; now let them have
a full trial." On the contrary. he will say:
I'VE have seen the distress which the
shadow of free-trade policy has brought,
and now it is the duty of the Republican
party in Congress to do all in it's power to
prevent the enactment of tariff which will
reduce the wage-earners of this country to
the low levels of Europe" Fortunately,
the Republicans in Congress are united In
the purpose to defeat the Wilson bill if it
can be done by their efforts. The pros
poets for the defeat of the measure bright
