The State banks which the majority of
the subcommittee on banking propose
to allow to be revived will be State
banks in name only. So far as their
circulation is concerned at least they
will be national institutions with the
basis Of their circulation, the amount
OF it and all it's conditions prescribed
by the national government. This GER
tainly is not the kind of State bank
the South had in view when it insisted
that recommendation should be put
in the Democratic platform for the
repeal of the tax on State banks and it
viii be very STANCE indeed if the South
GA representatives consent to it. What
the Southern Estates want to do is to
create banking institutions of their own
under their own management and not
liable to be sorutinized by Federal off
cia,s. They want the State bank of anti
hellum days pure and simple: and unless

CHIEF BUSHYHEAD.
Something About the Most Notable Man
in the Cherokee Nation.

One of the most powerful factors in
an Indian. His name is Dennis W.
Bushyhead, and he was for eight years
the principal chief Of the Cherokees.
His has been an eventful and success
full career, as careers are measured by
white men. He is sixty-seven years old,
and his life has been one of incessant
activity, in which he has at once COM
manded the complete confidence of the
Cher okee nation and the prospect of
business men and officials with whom
he has come in contact.
Chief Bushyhead has many warm
friends through the West, and wher-
When he talks OF his own career he is
very entertaining, and is always certain
of attentive listeners. He was in
Wichita one night recently, and for sew
eral hours entertained half score of his
friends in his room. He told of his
early boyhood among his tribe in North
Carolina and Tennessee, of his removal
to the Indian lands now embracing the
Cherokee nation, over which he presided
for many years.
In the course of the evening he grew
reminiscent and told many stories, illus
trative of the development of the great
West, which he has seen spring from a
wilderness to a mighty empire.
well do remember, said . the old
chieftain, "a visit made by Gen. Winfield
Scott to my fathers house in Tennessee,
was fifteen years old then, and the
great soldier came to --our reservation to
tell us that our hunting grounds were
wanted by the whites, and that we must
move West. Most of the tribe submitted
but probably thousand of them hid in
the hills and kept the soldiers busy in
rounding them up for long time. They
never succeeded fully in this, ssand dou BIT
less there are some members of the race
there yet, who have assimilated with
the white people.
Forty four years ago, within stones
throw of the Union depot in Kansas
City," continued Bushyhead, 81 fitted

American Desert 1t was at the break
ing out of the gold excitement in Cali
foria, and gold as had many attractions
then for young Indian brave as for the
most ambitious white man. For eigh-
teen years remained on the Pacific coast
and did not return to my people until
1867. Then l brought with me $4,000.

years, but hardsihps were IN my line
then, and di ! not mind them particu-
larry. When / crossed the then barren
plains of Kansas there was not house
or sign of permanent habitation and
the man who would then have predicted
that a great State would be carved out
of that wide waste would have been ad-
judged insane.
After all, my life has not differed
much from that OF the average white

+. The Chicago jury that tried Prender-
CAST seems to have taken very little stock
in the insanity theory, and without
much doubt it was right. In sense
Prendergast's mind was unbalanced, just
as is probably the mind sof every man
who commits murder. At the same
time he knew the difference between
right and wrong, and his attempt to
escape shows clearly enough that he
understood the nature of his deed. That
being SO there is no reason why he
should not suffer the penalty.

The Democrats are claiming now that
all their difficulties are legacies left by
Repu blicahs. The project Of restoring
the Queen IN the Sandwich island wasn't
a legacy from Repu plicans, 1t was the
contribution of Messrs. Cleveland and
Gresham. Neither was the Wilson bill a
legacy from the Republicans And yet
about all the Democrats difficulties
center about these two things. The only
legacy which the Repu blicans left them
of which they had any reason to COM
plain was the Sherman silver law. and this
they were so anxious to keep that Repub-
licans had to literally take it away from
them. The legacy of prosperous
country which the Republicans left
thera they have got rid of without any
assistance.

Mr.. j. p. Blaize, an extensive real estate
dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, narrowly es-
capped one of the severest attacks OF pneu-
monia while in the northern part Of that
state during a recent blizzard, says the
Saturday Review. Mr.. Blaize had occasion
to drive several miles durin the storm and
was SO thoroughly chilled that he was un-
able to get warm, and inside of an hour
after his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug store
and got a bottle OF Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy OF which he had often heard, and
took a number OF large doses. He says the
effect was wonderful and in a short time
he was breathing quite easily. He kept on
taking the medicine and the next day was
able to come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize
regards his cure as simply wonderful. For
sale by all druggists.

COST OF w0oLGRo WING.
Can Woolgrowers Live Under Free Trade
Answered.


YALE, Mont, Dec. IL, 1898.
DEAR ARGUS:
1t seems very amusing to some of us
sheepmen to read in the Democrat of Nov.
3Oth that the article on Republican Wool
Gathering from the Helena Independent,
with quotations from the Chicago Tribune
On the mixing argument of the Demo
Gratis "explodes" and rips up" the pro-
lection theory.
1t may do so to the satisfaction of the
pilgrim editors of those papers, but
what we think would be more to the point
is, does it to the satisfaction Of the sheep
and woolgrowers of the county?
The Billings Gazette has taken the very
~commendable and practical course of let
ting the woolgrowers speak for themselves,
and is publishing their expressions of opin-
ions each week. We respectfully refer the
editor of the Democrat to read carefully
those published replies to the query, ID
you want free WOOL" by men who were
raising wool long before the said editor left
the slums of his native town. We are told
on just as good authority as any the Dem
oerat quotes that for the year ending June
3Oth, 1898. there were 1863, 900, 900 lbs. of
raw wool, or 32 per cent more than ever
imported, and under the Mckinley law.
too, and used by American manufacturers
in addition to the closer consumption Of
the entire home clip than ever before.
submit, however, that as an argument
it is only fair that if there are woods needed
by manufacturers for mixing" purposes
aud not raised in America, those woods
only be admitted free of duty. If there is
anything in the theory that foreign woods,
when mixed" and manufactured to the
extent our Democratic friends predict, will
stimulate finewear manufacturers To such
a degree as has never been known, who is
cash for them to the same wonderful
amount? just imagine a Democratic mis-
sionary bureau distributing American
made wooden goods to the negro natives OF
the African free sta ties along the Congo and
buying them on-wind.
Free trade, oh yes, glorious truth, Give
us direct competition with goods manu-
featured in countries notorious for their
pauper labor. We gods of Democracy save
us seventy-five centsjon a suit of all wool
clothes, even il it does cost the woolgrowers
OF America half the price of their product
and his employees lose 80 per cent of their
present wages.
The question with us sheepmen is what
can we raise wool for per pound. | submit
that on an average not over 1900 sheep
are herded in a band. With a man trying
to raise wool in Montana, let US see how
he must figure out. With no losses and an
excellent band that shears eight pounds
per head he will shear II, 600 pounds OF
wool. He pays out:
