SENATOR PROCTOR ON THE INDIA
QUESTION

We publish below an extract from
letter recently received from Sena-
tor Proctor. We commend his
statements to the thoughtful consid-
Grafton of such, calling themselves
civilized and Christian, as still affirm
there is no good Indian but dead
Indian. Senator Proctor is man
OF cool judgment and warm heart,
and has been brought into practical
contact with this question, so that
his words should certainly carry
great weight with them. The COM
mencement of the letter referred to
the starving Navajos, whose crops
have failed for three seasons, and to
tn the measures designed for their relief.
ne senator continues:
i am pretty much discouraged
ABOUT justice being done to the In
dams. When coming into the war
department l found to my surprise
that the army officers were as rule
the strongest friends of the Indian
have ever known, and had the
most earnest sense of the injustice
with which they have continually
been treated. Though they have
often been obliged to fight them, yet

TIE HILL TOWNS ALL RIGHT.

1t is strange that the proportion of
information to talk is so small when
the "decadence of the hill towns"
comes up. Vermont is almost all
Chill town." and has suffered misrep-
resentation accordingly. The great
reason that these districts lose
ground is from the wearing out of
the soil, and this because land was
cleared which should have been left
to the forest. Cultivated land must
be within reach of the barnyard, or
the forest will reclaim it-that is the
memorable law. This reclamation is
now going on very fast in Vermont
and other New England states, to
the great advantage of the country,
bowling about abandoned farms"
Notwithstanding. And the farming
has so changed that land cannot be
cultivated to much purpose unless
ordinary farm machinery can be run
on it. Hence more ABANDONING"
1t is also true that a rush here or
there leaves farms unoccupied un-
wisely, and that errors of this sort
take time for correction. But that
sort lof correction is being seen here
and no doubt in Massachusetts and
elsewhere. And with it all comes
better cultivation and greatly in
creased product from land properly
situated.
The "hill town" question is taking
care of itself extremely WE'LL [Rut-

A FATAL RAT POWDER.

Enormous business has been done
lately at French fairs by a man who
protested to sell a rat powder that
was perfectly harmless, and that
struck rats dead on the spot. In or
der to convince the skeptical, the
man first of all powdered a slice of
bread with the stuff, and ate a piece
OF 1t himself. Then he put the re-
mainder under glass case, in which
rat was kept in captivity. The
rat went to eat the bread and in
stantly fell dead. At ten cents box
the powder went off like hot rolls,
and the lucky proprietor of the spe-
chic was in fair way to make for
tune. But the police, who in France
are very active in protecting the peo-
pie from fraud, looked into the mat
ter and found that the powder was
ordinary sugar. They also discov-
cred that the case was connected
with a powerful electric battery, aud
that the moment the rat touched the
bread the current was turned on,
and 1t was thus his death was
brought about. The man was ar
rested at the fair of Abb, and he has
been sentenced to fifteen days i'm
prisonment.-[ National Advertiser.

they have had opportunity to see
the provocations and wrongs which
have. driven the Indians to the war
path. Moreover, they have always
been honest with them, and the In
dams have, believe, more confidence
in them and dependence upon them
generally than upon the civilian Of
ncials. 1t is not to our credit that
we have not been able to civilize and
assimllate a quarter of million of
native American red men, race of
strong mental characteristics, great
physical courage and endurance, and
many elements Of high moral char
acter, while we have received mil
lions OF foreign born, many of them
uneducated aud not in sympathy
with our institutions, into the tull
rights OF citizenship. | am heartily
in sympathy with any measure of
justice to the Indian"
Senator Proctor's view OF the feel
ing OF the army officers towards the
Indians is emphasized by the state
ment, made by Gen. McCook in an
address recently delivered at meet
ing OF the Indian Rights association
at Denver, that in his 40 years expe-
rience with the Indians he had al
ways found a white man at the
bottom OF every difficulty; and to
this he added that his decisions in
cases of trouble between whites and
Indians had always been in favor OF

THE UTOGRAPH COLLECT
OR.

Mr.. Howells is out after the auto
graph collector. The compilers Of
the signatures OF famous people have
evidently made the life OF the novel
list unhappy, and while he is still
willing to give his autograph he i'm
poses certain conditions upon the ia
vor. Mr.. Howells has sent me his
declaration for publication, and |
gladly print it:
This requests for my autograph
have of late become so burdensome
that am obliged either to refuse all
or TO make some sort OF limitation.
Every author must have an uneasy
fear that his signature is collected
at times like postage stamps, and at
times traded among the collectors
for other signatures. That would
not matter so much if the applicants
were always able to spell his name,
or were apparently acquainted with
his work or interested IN it.
Il propose, therefore, to give my
name hereafter only to such askers
as can furnish me proof by intelligent
comment upon it that they have
read some book Of mine. II they can

HOW OUR FLAG GREW.

The American flag grew gradually;
there is no record Of its birth. The
first form OF flag dates from the
choice of Benjamin Franklin and
Messrs. Harrison and Lynch. They
were chosen as a committee to create
national flag, and adopted the
"King's Colors" as union, united
with 13 stripes, alternate red and
white, showing that although the
colonies united for defense against
England's tyranny, they still &C.
knowledged her sovereignty.' Tues
day, Ian. 2, 1776, this flag was hoist
ed in camp at Cambridge, Mass.
NOW Somerville), receiving a salute
of13 guns and 13 cheers. The first
recorded Legislative action" for the
establishment of national flag was
Saturday, June IA, 1777: Resolved
that the flag Of the United States be
13 stripes, alternate red and white;
that the Union be 10 stars, white, in
blue field, representing new con-
stelation." The first flag as the
"Stars and Stripes" was hoisted on
Friday, Aug. 8, 1777, over Fort
Schuyler, then military post on the
site Of the village of Rome, Oneida
county, New York.
The admission of Vermont and
Kentucky as states brought up the
resolution January 13, 1894. "Be it
enacted" etc, that from and after
the first day OF May, one thousand
seven hundred and ninety-fve, the
flag of the United States shall be Is
stripes alternate red and white, that
the union be Is stars, white in blue
field. Adopted. This was the ma
tional standard during the year of
1911, January 20, 1917, the states
numbering 20, on resolution OF Hon.
Peter H. Wendover OF New York,
committee was appointed TO in.
quire into the eXpedlencv OF altering
the flag of the United States" Upon
suggestions from Captain S. Reid
they reported "a reduction of stripes
to II and an increase of the stars to
correspond with the number of states
now in the union, and hereafter to
add one star to the flag whenever a
new state shall be fully admitted"
Owing to pressure of business no
action was taken. Dec, 16, 1917, the
January resolution was again pre-
scented by William Wendover, when
his appointment to chairman of a
committee was secured, which re-
ported substantially the same as its
predecessor, the report being submit
ted Jan. 16, 1918, adopted by the
House March "a, 1918, and approved
april 4, 1918, President Monroe
signing, Through the gratuitous ac.
ton Of Capt. Reid, flag he had con-
srructed was completed and hoisted
OF Congress Hall at 2 pm. April
10, 1918. though the law named
July 4 as the day OF PRONUNCIATION.
AS to the Specification OF the colors,
1t is as follows: Red, heraldic, gules;
symbol, divine love; language, valor;
emblem, war. Red was the field
color of highlands flag, and the colo.
NAL army flag. White, heraldic, ar
gent; symbol, truth, hope; language,
purity; emblem, peace, White was
the ground of flag of st. George, the
field color of the colonial floating
battery. Blue, heraldic, azure; sym
Dol, loyalty; language, sincerity;
emblem, justice. Blue was the color

There had been issued and sold S95,-
500 600 of the bonds authorized by the
Resumption Act of 1875, the proceeds
of which, together with other gold in
the treasury, created a gold fund
deemed sufficient to meet the demands
which might be made upon for the re-
demption of the outstanding United
States notes. This fund, together with
such other gold as might be from time
to time in the treasury available for the
same purpose, has been since called our
gold reserve, and $100000,000 has been
regarded as an adequate amount to ac-
complish it's object. This fund amounted
on the fst day of January, 1879 to
STA. 193. $50, and though thereafter
constantly tluctuating, it did not fall be-
low that sum until July, 1892.
In April, 1893. for the first time since
its establishment. this reserve amount
ed to less than S100.0OO000, containing
at that date only S91 1,011,330.
In the meantime, and in July, 1890,
an Act had been passed directing larger
governmental monthly purchases of sill

vious laws, and providing that in pay

the United States should be issued, pay
