EFFECTIVE BUT COWARDLY.
How the Good Old Man Wanted to Settle
the Indian Question.

"A good many years ago the Comanche
Indians used to harry and annoy the
people of Texas by predatory incursions,
pretty much, I fancy, as the Scottish
Highlanders did their brethren who
dwelt in less mountainous regions" said
Col. ALT Mason of the Lone Star State to
a Washington Post reporter. "The Com
anches, too, had exactly the same pur-
pose in view that animated the adher-
ents of Rob Roy-the lifting of cattle
and it would be hard to say which made
the greatest success of the business, the
sturdy free hooters of Scotia or the con-
per~hued denizens of the American
plains.
"The Texans, of course, resented to
the utmost this conduct of the redskins,
and many brave paid the death pen
or cows that did not belong to him,
Many poor settler, too, in trying to
save his little homestead, fell victim
to the barbarous foe. Some unusually
cruel raids. in which number of white
women and little children were butchered
about the year 1859, in williamson
county, not far from the State capital,
caused the resentment of the people to
rise to a boiling pitch, and vengeance
was sworn against the whole tribe of
marauding red demons. The affair was
SO ruthless in it's atrocity that it came
very near being the cause of a wholesale
slaughter of the Indians, which could
have scarcely been justified.
"The proposition came from one of
the noted frontiersmen and Indian fighters
of that day, who has long since crossed
over the river, Gen. Henderson. The
old man advanced it coolly and could
with difficulty be persuaded to abandon
it. 1t was to invite, under the guise of
pretended friendship and reconciliation,
all the Comanches that could be assem-
bled in great scope of surrounding
country to big barbecue, where there
was to be eating and drinking galore
and general smoking of the pipe of
peace.
ut was to be grand feast, especially
in the roast beef part of the menu, said
beef to he aruistically dressed with
poison enough to kill every son-of-
a-gun of an Indian that partook of it.
Well, they wouldn let the general car
ry out his scheme, and he got very hot
over it, and to the day of his death
cursed the sentimental fools that inter
fered with his plans for reducing the
Comanche census,n

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

1t is rare, even when there is a..coutest,
that SO many delegates gather at pol
itical convention as were present at the
Repu blican State Conventional Lewiston
yesterday. So large an assemblage, when
the result has been foregone conclusion
is unprecedented. There had been no
extraordinary effort to get out full
delegation. The assemblage was due to
the spontaneous uprising of Republican
voters of the state, who constitute a
far larger majority of the peopel, we
believe, than at any time..since the.war to
express their deep disgust with the ma
tional policy of the Democratic party
and its disastrous consequences to the
country. Their sentiments found voice
in the able and eloquent words of the
Congressman from the Fourth. District,
who presided at the convention and who
set forth in very striking manner the
lamentable effects on the prosperity of
the nation of fifteen months of Demo-
cratic misrule. They also found express
sion in the resolutions that were adopted
with unanimity and enthusiasm.
Usage demanded the denomination of
Governor Cleaves. But there was bet
ter basis for it than this. His faithful
ness to the interests of the state, his care
full and prudent management of the fin
ances, his assiduous watchfullness of
all the weighty matters committed to
his charge by the people of Maine con-
stituted by themselves ample reason for
this renewed expression of trust and con-
fidence. To his distinguished ability is
now added experience, and it is safe to
predict that his second term will
strengthen the high estimation in which
he is now held by the people, without
distinction of party.
The great gathering of yesterday is an
earnest of an overwhelming Republican
victory at the polls in Septem Der, and
means one Of the largest majorities ever
received by 4 Republican candidate for
governor in this state.

ABANDONED FARMS"
Secretary McKeen Issues Circular Re
garding Those for Sale Cheap.

In accordance with a decision of the
State board of agriculture to obtain list of
abandoned, FOR farms which can be bought
very cheaply, Secretary McKeen has issued
a circular which reads as follows:
Frequent inquiries have been made for
lists of abandoned FARMS in Maine.
while we consider this name misnomer,
as applicable to any considerable extent to
any lands in Maine, yet we know it to be
true that in many of the rural districts
there are farms for sale at very low prices,
considering the buildings and other improve
those who are looking for homes in Maine,
as well as in the interests of those who have
farms for sale, the board of agriculture
undertakes the work of collecting and pub
with a brief description and price.
This list or catalogue, will contain, in adj
dition TO the list of farms for sale. descrip-
ton Of the State in general way, and a
brief description of each county in the State,
giving the peculiar features of each and
their natural resources, character Of the
we may be able to obtain, and probably
map of the State. Five thousand of these
copies will be issued, and it IS expected it
will circulate largely outside of the State
as well as in our own cities and villages.
A blank has been provided, which accom-
panies the circular, and the following ques-
lions are asked and answers requested:
Number of acres in farm; acres in now
ing and tillage; acres in pasture; acres in
woodlands; how fenced and condition of
fences; size of house and state of repair:
rooms in house and ell; size of each barn
and shed; number of fruit trees; trees in
obtained for house and barn; what orons
are best adapted to your locality and espec7
tally to this farm distance from rom and name
distance from public schooi; price of farm;
amount to be paid down; rate of interest on
balance
The board of agriculture seems to be yerv
active for the farming interests of the
State, and the proposed catalogue will
doubtless afford profitable information.

AND THE TEMPTER.

The most interesting chapter in the ex-
purgated edition of the testimony before
the Senate committee issued by authority
of that committee is the one that mar
rates Senator McPherson's struggle with
the Tempter and the final
triumph of the latter through
the too great faithfulness of the
Senator's servant Mr.. Mcpherson
began buying sugar stock in November,
1888, when, according to his own state
m emit, he thought the whole sugar bust
ness was settled and would not be mat
ter OF legislation in the Senate. His
mind must evidently have been wide
open for conviction on this point, for the
taxation or non-taxation of sugar has
been one of the most vexed tariff ques-
tions for many years past However.
he was convinced, or says he was, and
proceeded to buy stock. Then came the
disturbing rumor that the Senate
finance committee was discussing sugar
and contemplating an alteration of the
House schedules. Mr.. McPherson's con-
science was touched, and he Immediately
sought way to free himself from all
danger of being Influenced in his vote
on the sugar schedule by the ownership
of stock that might be affected by that
schedule. Curiously enough the most
direct and effective way of doing this.
namely, by disposing of his stock alto
gether, seems not to have occurred to
him, why, we do not undertake to say.
Possibly it was because sugar had
dropped after his purchase, so that his
stock could not be sold just then except
at loss. Be this as it may he did not
sell his stock, but transferred it to his
son. 1t subsequently appeared that this
concession to his conscience was not
fully consummated for the willy Tempt
er contrived in some way to still keen
some of the shares in the SENATOR'S
name. However, he thought he was out
of it, or says he did. Subsequently his
son wanted to buy more stock, and
though his father at first objected the
arguments of the son overcame his OBJ
jections and the stock was purchased.
Finally, however, the Senator's con-
science fully asserted itself, and he and
his SON decided that no more stock
The Portland daily press., 1894-06-06

should be bought, and all the stock that
they possessed should be sold. Here
again the Tempter got in his work.
There had been apparently fluctuations
IN the progress of the Senator's con-
science to the exalted height it finally
reached. In the climb up the hill it had
occasionally slipped back. During one
OF these backsiding spells it seems that
despatch had been written ordering
the purchase of sugar stock, and this
despatch had not been destroyed when
the Senator's conscience arrived at the
conclusion that it was improper for him
to be interested in sugar, but had been
left lying on the table Now the Sena-
tor had servant, who through a long
series of years had been trained to ex-
anime his master table and collect the
kilograms and letters left there and for
ward them to their destination. This
servant had not been instructed as to the
Senator's change of heart, and naturally
supposing this telegram quite in the line
OF the Senator's business gathered it up
and sent it. The stock was purchased,
and by another inadvertance" stock
again stood in the Senator's name. This
stock was, however, disposed of in less
circumlocutory way than the other
This was sold and not transferred TO his
son. Perhaps it had gone up. At any
rate the stock was sold.
This is the history of Senator McPher-
sons transactions in sugar stock. 1t is
the history of a good man struggling to
be free, but continually circumvented
by the artful wiIes of the Tempter.
