The Democratic demand for the repeal
Of tax on state bank circulation bids fair
to be realized sooner than expected and
on a different account than the original
purpose. An effort is being made to
have the tax applied to the clearing
house certificates issued during the re-
cent financial squeeze as an accommoda-
ton between the banks, members of the
associations issuing the certificates, and
il this is done it will he necessary for
congress to provide relief, and the state
bank tax repealers will take advantage
of the circumstance to press their de-
mand. 1t seems strained construction
of the law to apply it to the clearing
house certificates. in view of their in
tended mission and the great relief they
afforded the monetary situation at
time when it was needed to prevent
possibly universal disaster; but these
circumstances cut no figure with those
who want an excuse to carry out their
designs in another matter.

Feared because of the Usurpation of
Certain Lands by whites.
SPOKANE, Wash May 26-Advices
from the Flathead ludisn reservation in
Montana are to the effect that great dis
satisfaction exists among the Kootonai
Indians because of the usurpation by
white settlers of certain lands belonging
to the Indians.
This feeling has increased to such an
extent that some of the Indian village
councils not unlike councils Of war are
being held and Agent Roman has been
notified by Eneas, chief of the tribe that
unless these infringements cease trouble
may be expected.
The complaint was couched In such
bitter terms the agent deemed it advis-
able to hasten to the place Of the trouble
at Dayton Creek The lands in dispute
are nineteen pieces allotted in 1891 under
Section of the General Allotment act as
amended by the act of February 90, 1891
Agent Roman will endeavor peaceably
to eject the trespassers, but unless they
move without controversy he will cal
for government aid The agent is acting
under orders from the Department of tn,

lie expression of opinion as to the en-.
forcement of the Gesry act. The crowd
was enthusiastic but orderly.
President Cleveland was condemned in
a series of resolutions for interfering
with the carrying out of the act.
Among other things he was described
as the greatest anarchist in this
country.
No political significance was given to
the meeting with. the exception that few
orators Of the Populist party attempted
TO cir their views. The character of the
crowd was of the solid laboring classes
who were apparently deeply interested
in the discussion.
All appeared determined in the opinion
that the Chinese must be driven out.
The spirit of injustice felt at the non

may break out at any time.

The Lice Plague In Lancaster County
VIII Result Disastrously ~ No Means

LANCASTER, Pa, May 20.-Dr S. E.
Weber has discovered that the lice which
have been a plague for the past eight
months IN the eastern end of this county
are wood lice belonging to equatorial
countries
They belong to the sub family pso.
cidae genus clotbilla variety, clothiha
pulsatoria How they got here is a
mystery. DR.. Weber is greatly alarmed
over his discovery and telegraphed Sec.
retary Edge of the State Board of Agri.
culture invoking state aid at once and
requesting the secretary to come here.
The doctor says the lice are undoubt-
edly the forerunner of plague, which
he fears will be cholera They are not
affected by the cold, as is shown by t he
fact that they survived the intense cold
of last winter, the thermometer going
down 20 "a below zero in the vicinity Of
the infested places.
With the coming of the warm weather
the lice will multiply with alarming
rapidity and the result must be dis
astrous if no means are found to exter'
inmate them.

The Police Commission asked for

on the propriety Of increasing the appro-

Of the committee stood.
The concluding paragraphs of the re-
port of the Finance Committee were as
follows:
"The City Council having assumed
the indebtedness which met them one
year ago and after running each depart
ment under our control clearly within
the several appropriations, they leave on
hand handsome surplus instead Of
deficit which has too often been the
custom.
"And now, after providing as literally
as your committee feel justified (and
more so IN some cases than this
Council has expended) to conduct
the affairs OF the city on an
economical and business like basis. and
after adding thereto provision for a
crematory and free library with the
estimate Of only about one-half the usual
income from the Water Department, they
have legitimatelY reduced the tax rate to
