AN AWFUL BIG DRUNK.

There is another drunk scandal on,
up at Topeka. This time it is not a
state officer affair, consequently there
will be no official investigation Nor
was it legislative or league banquet
1t was 4 drunk in which the whole
town seems TO have participated. The
Lawrence Journal says there were but
four hundred of them, but that all were
prominent. 1t was an excursion or
something of the kind, made TO Lea

very few of them got roaring. bowling.

- ... EL ....
Senator Tillman has written another
letter; this time he addresses his audi
ence through the New York World, a
newspaper located in close proximity
to Wall Street, the diminutive island
Of Manhattan holding both plants. The
p I'm seems to read: The
ccnstlJntion0Rc0nXeatfon buggaboo Is
q bagatelle; a new party is wanted,
however the constitution is made and
settled, the old parties are frauds and
must go; the democratic and republic
can parties are both frauds; the demo-
cratic undemocratic, and the republic
a plutooratic.
Tom Brown, Tom Brown, two little
Indian boys;
one ran away and the other wouldn't
stay,
Two little Indian boys"
And then the letter reads: as goes
Tillman, so goes South Carolina; if the
South and the West don't follow her
lead under his leadership, SO much the
more fools they. The letter does not
mince matters and was certainly writ
ten by Tillman, no private secretary at
his elbow.

met at Columbia on Wednesday last
were eminently patriotic. Accepted,
their plans will restore peace to the
State for a time at least; rejected, con-

heritance of our children.
There is nothing behind the confer

that OF a patriotic citizenship, we'll; if
1t be that of a venal ofice-seeking senti-
ment, then all the ills that follow

THAT is, last year-the board. or
rather. should say, at the council
held at Norway house, my advisers adj
vocated the reopening of the Skeena
country, and, after due consideration.
1T was decided to do so. Mr.. McFar-
lain, OF Great Slave lake fame, was hit
upon as the most likely man to make a
success, and he received orders by spe-
cal courier to repair to Winnipeg for
orders. MIR. McFarlain received IN
structions to make Victoria his base Of

you. 1t was incased in a cover of thin
birch-bark, and this, again, was inside
OF musquash skin, with the hair in
side, no doubt for the better preserva-
ton of this sacred and valuable paper.
The young chief, said he, when quite
boy, had been shown this paper by his
father, and the old man had told him
when he-his father-was dead and
gone. he was to take care of it: and
should ever white men come into the
country again, he was to carry the
paper to the head of the party and
give 1T to him, and that the writing |
would tell, from the last traders hand.
what a great and good chief his father
had been.
Mr. McFarlain told the youth that.
as the post had now been rebuilt and
the paper given to him, everything had
been done as his father would have
wished, and that, therefore, the paper
vas of no further use or value. The
7oung chief, son of his illustrious
ather, was, therefore, dismissed with
