CURIOUS INDIAN BOOKS.

! Prom Inc W washington post
Perhaps the most remarkable small
library in this country is the property
of James C. Pilling, the well known
ethnologist of Washington. 1t is the
largest existing collection of books in
Indian languages, and of these lam
guages there are no less. than ffty-fve
in North America, north of Mexico. All
of them are distinct tongues, as differ
emit from one another as Chinese and
English.
More than half of the five hundred dia-
I lects into which the fifty-five languages
referred to are divided are preserved in
books. 1t is believed that the first book
printed on this continent was in the
Indian langaage-the "Nahuatl"-pub-
lished at the City of Mexico in 1888.
The first Bible printed in America was
In an Indian tongue-the celebrated
Eliot Bible. This is one of the most
costly of all rare books About forty
copies of it were specially prepared,
with dedication to Charles IL One
of these, in good condition, is now
worth about S., 600.
The first printing done west Of the
Rocky mountains was in the Nez Perez
language. 1t was primer for Indian
children, turned out from the mission
press at Clearwater, Ida, in 1889. The
press that did the work had been
/ brought by the missionaries all the
way from the Hawaiian islands
The first book printed in Dakota was
. dictionary of the Sioux language,
produced in 1866 at Fort Laramie It
was prepared by two officers of the
United States army, Lieuts. Hyde and
Starring, to pass away the weary hours
during = long and cold winter At that
lonely outpost OF civilization They
were aided in the work by an inter
prefer. and BY the Indians who loafed
about the fort. The type was set up
by the soldiers. and fifty copies were
struck OF on a crude hand press Only
two copies are now known. one of them
belonging to Gen Starring, OF New
York. q brother OF the author, and the
other to Mr.. Pilling.
The only existing alphabet that IS
the product of one mans mind and N
which literature has been printed
was the invention Of half-breed Cher
okee Indian. His name was Se-quo-
yah, and he had no education what
ever; but it occurred to him that he
could express all the syllables ii the
Cherokee tongue by characters Find
ing that there were eiEhty-six syllable
sounds in the language. he devised for
each one OF them a peculiar mzTk-
From some OF the marks be took char
acters OF our own alphabet turning
them upside down. With these SYN
bols he set about writing letters, and
b. means Of them a correspondence
was soon maintained between Indians

MARTIN FOR OVERMYER.

John Martin. whom the Pops elected
to the United States senate, has author
lied the announcement that he will sup
port Overmyer for governor and the
balance Of the Democratic ticket. Mar
tin was one of the fathers of fusion, hut
that pole possesses no longer the requi-
site longitude for raking perSimmons.
What the Populists would do in the
event of the Democrats holding the bal
ance of power in the next legislature
would be hard to guess. In such a case
if they were ike any other party they
would, in finding themselves unable TO
elect one of their own stripe, vote for
some unobjectionable or liberal Republl-
can rather than stand by man and a
party from whom they have received
such a kick.

BEN CLOvER's LETTER.

Ben Clover's appeal to the National
Alliance to drop the party and support
the Republican party is rich reading.
And when it came to summing up the
sugar trust case, the free wool and beg
gar tariff of the Democratic party, Ben
showed himself no SLOUGH.
EIe reminds them that he and they
joined with the Democrats of Kansas to
down the robber tariff barons and to
overthrow the banded plutocrats." And
he invites them to an inspection of pres
ent conditions. The sugar trust openly
debating the tariff policy of the senate,
the monometallists debating the coinage
policy of the president, the southern
planter getting so per cent of protection
on the rice that the northern farmer has
to buy from him, and the congressional
representatives of the southern planters
stripping every shred of protection from
the wool Of the northern farmer, which
he has to sell to the southern planter that
he may clothe himself and his cheap
laLorerS with it. the south standing SOL
idly Democratic, and the Populist repre-
sentauves and senators voting steadily
with the southern Democrats; 50-cent
wheat and 7-cent wool. idle factories,
abandoned farms, and striking work
men, and winds up by beseeching them
to come back TO the support or the party
of protection and prosperity.

CORN WILL BE CORN,


This is a phenomenally disastrous
year. There is no longer any question
as to widespread failure OF crops
Kansas seems the best off of any state
in the west, and Kansas can't brag.
There are sections and spots, there are
fields here and there from which an aver
age corn crop will be harvested, but there
Is complaint from almost everywhere.
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri and in large portions of Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio, there is drouth
and heat with little or no chance for
crops. In one large section of Mime
sofa there has been no rain since early
in June. Corn in northern Missouri is
beyond nope. Nebraska is completely
burned up. The late jump in the price
of corn comes of these discoura ging
facts and not from corner in the mar
ket, as many supposed. Corn will COM
mand, without doubt, 80 cents the COM
ing winter.

TREY DID Cur TEE IS ssmENr

There is no accounting for the blind
prejudice of a majority of the Populist
party nor for the efTroutery of treir
leaders. In face # The official records
of the acts Of the state board of assessors
showing an unexplainable reduction in
the taxes on Pullman cars, these Popu-
lists in county and other conventions
keep right on commenting the action of
the state officers, falsely affirming. in
addition, that the valuation was raised
and not lowered. And this is true ais.
Of reductions made this year in railroad
property proper. Is Is undisputed that
there have been men present in
these conventions who knew the facts
but who held their peace That such
hare faced falsifying can win or even
stand is nonsense. All that they couId
% as honest men would be either to de-
fend the reduction of railroad taxes or
Otherwise admit that 4 mistake had
been made. Truth Is hard 10 down In
any way at any time, but a truth Of
record must not only stand but sooner or
later be understood. These convention
mauipuletors must be tailoring under
the delusion that the Republicans and
Democrats Of Kansas are Is ignorant as
their own crowd.

BRIDAL TRIP SPOILED.
Charles Fox Taken into Custody by a
Wilkes. Barre Detective.

The bridal trip Of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Fox had a sad ending ir
Wilkes-Barre on the 4th inst. Just as i,
was about to begin.
Fox was the Lehigh Valley agent a,
Lopez, Sullivan county. While there
he met and became enamored of one
of the village bellies. She was YOUNG,
handsome, susceptible and her heart
was his. The whole affair was ar.
ranged in way satisfactory to both.
But cloud came over their path to
darken the brightness of this happy
dream. One day in an unlucky mo-
ment Fox, it is said, committed a
forgery that got him into the hands of
the law. He was arrested, bound
over to answer the charge and c. w.
Crump, OF Lopez, became his bonds.
man.
Charlie went to visit friends at
Pringleville until the trouble had
blown over. He had left his lady love
in tears, but they could not remain
separated. She came on to Join him
and they agreed to be married quickly
and quietly. Coming to Wilkes Barre
the couple went in to purchase tickets
at S. S. Chan's Office. The man in
CURED the nearest point in New York
State. Being told he purchased two
tickets for Waverly. A bystander
overheard the inquiry and made up
his mind to see them OFF, if no one
else did.
AT the depot for some time previous
to the time the train started, the cou-
pie sat in the corner of the ladies'
waiting room, being content to escape
the observation of the throng on the
platform. The train came in and
they stepped aboard and the only one
who seemed to know their mission
secretly wished them bon voyage
There was another who watched,
however, as the sequel of this story
will show. Detective O'Brien got on
board moment before the trains de-
parture, and before the bell rang for
starting out the couple were on the
platform with Mr.. O'Brien. They
were, of couse, very much disappoint-
ed and felt very keenly the turn affairs
had taken. They were invited to the
Office Of Mr.. O'Brien, where an ex.
PLANTATION was made.
Mr.. Crump had written Mr.. o Brien
on July 7 to the effect that he had
discovered enough to warrant him in
thdiawing the bonds. He said he
was a poor man and if it happened
that Fox did not appear at the proper
time it would ruin him. He asked
that Fox be at once turned over to
the Sheriff. In pursuance Of this order
the detective was on the lookout for
his man. 49, The Press.
