Indians at Work,

The New York Indians are taking

agency In Washington devote them.
selves entirely to fishing, and make
x2O, 600 by that work. But. as rule,
the chief revenue Of the Indian tribes
IL derived from the sale OF lumber
and agricultural products and from
freighting. Much Of their produce Is
sold to the government. The Sioux
Indians OF South Dakota sell more
than 800, 600 worth of wheat, corn,
oats anG barley to the government in
a year. Tho Sioux Of North Dakota
sell $35, 600 worth to the government.
This Is In addition to the 1870, 600
worth Of produce sold to outsiders.
The Mojave, Yuma and Apache In.
dams at the San Carlos agency in
Arizona sell *8O, 600 worth of goods,

Other work Is found for the Indians
In the making OF roads (of which
they will make 25O miles In u Year,,
the running Of saw mills and flour
mills and the erection OF agency
buildings. But the occupation In
which the industrial salvation OF tho
Indian Is to be found Is agriculture;
and to foster development In this
direction the government Is assisting
to irrigate tho Indian lands and Is
issuing moving machines and other
implements which will help the
Indian to be farmer instead OF q

American Salt Improved.

In 1892 the output NJ salt IN this
country was ll,o9s, 00J barrels,
against u, si6,,22 in 1893. The hel
value last year was about 344c pei
barrel Il $50 pounds. The barrels
in which IL Is packed are worth from
lSc to 25c. The price Of the arti lie
last year was so low as to be unproht
able, and yet every endeavor was
made by some manufacturers to still
further improve the quality OF their
product 30 well have they sue
ceeded that foreign impOrtations
have entirely disappeared. Table
and dairy salts as now produced here
are p actically pure. Contrary to
the usual result, New York produced
more salt 10 1893 than any other
State, Michigan heretofore standing
at the head.

IHE election controversy in Alabama
and numerous election contests that
will be brought to the attention of the
next Congress will undoubtedly lead
TO an effort to secure the passage of a
Dill caulculated to promote the freedom
ofthe ballot and insure faithful ascer
talnment of the result of elections in
every section of the country. Men of
all parties agree that something should
be speedily done to bring about this
result. The Washington Star quotes q
prominent Congressman as saying that
the next House will conduct a Lexow
investigation on national scale under
committee of its ablest members. and
with a thOroughness that will leave
nothing to be desired. The iuvestioa-
tlon will not be partisan or sectional
out directed to the correction of abuses
and guarding against undue interfer.
ence and fraudulent practices. What is
needed is broad, liberal law. which
VIII insure full protection to every

which will also guard the balIot.box

ing that the conflict between the Hig-

honor could not be done to the State

fall on Hon. George V. Massey. He
has the character, the ability, the tact.

Mr. Massey would be great credit to

THE Democracy of Sussex county

IHE elections usually end the politi-
cal contest, leaving the people to settle
down to their accustomed peace of
mind and quiet pursuits, but such
seems not to be the result this wear.
Even the partisan papers heretofore
after the election has taken weeks and
months of rest, but this year confidence
Is disturbed and every day the question
Is asked on meeting another, what
Is new to-day" as if new surprises and
new unheard of events were to con-
tinually bob up in some part of the
state. Even independent, non-partisan
Journals have to give considerable space
to these thing to keep along with the
current OF news, that they could wish
more in harmony with the aegis of our
institutions,-fair play, a free ballot
and an honest count.
The history of the nation shows that
changes of parties and policies at
proper intervals have been good for the
body polite: the logic of the argument
is, that if change is good for the ma
ton it would likewise be for the State
But the trouble is in the adjustment of
the machinery. Conservatism is a de-
sirable quality in the make up of a
people, but they do not want it of the
Oriental type that remains the same |
for ages. Nor do they want, when
they desire to move to be tied down bv |
political task masters and thieves who |
are after the emoiuments of Office
rather than the good of the common.
wealth. The history of this nation has
shown that the people can ALWAYS he
trusted in righting a wrong. Thew
may be slow sometimes. but when tbev
DO turn on the bosses they bury them
or thelr prospects out of sight. This
has been particularly shown in the mast
year or two in some of our sister
States. The fall in some cases has
been terrific. The spirit of Justice and
iair play is still dominant in the Ameri-
can breast as will be found bv some
men who venture a step too far.

UNITED STATES Senator NJ. M.C.Butler
OF South Carolina, began proceedings
before the Supreme Court at Columbia
;. C., Monday, attacking the constitu.
tonality of the State law for the regis.
tratiOn of voters. If the suit is success.
ful it will invalidate the election Of the
Legislature. which was expected to
elect Governor Tillman to the United
States Senate to succeed Mr.. Butler
Bait. Sun.
Mr.. Butler belongs to the old Bour-
bon wing who have been in control of
the State for a number of years, whom
the Tillmanites, who claim to be the
progressive wing of the party, have
ousted at the polls. The old leaders
feel their reign should be eternal. and
are resorting to the most extreme meas.
ures to retain possession of the State.
Delaware thoroughly understands the
situation.
