The report of Capt. j. Z. Van Ars-
dale, who has been investigating the
Bannock Indian trouble, has been re-
celyed by the Secretary of the Interior.
Capt. Van Arsdale says:
Being short rationed and far from
self supporting, the Bannocks hunt for
the purpose of obtaining sustenance. By
treaty they arc granted this privilege. 1t
seems that the killing of these Indians
under the circumstances was nothing
more or less than murder I believe
that there is no wanton slaughter of
game by these Indians, while it is a no.
torious fact that hundreds of the animals
are killed by white men for nothing more
than heads and horns. There are men in
that country who make it q business to
pilot hunting parties from the East and
abroad which not only slaughter elk, but
capture and ship them out of the country.
The killing of game by Indians interferos
with this business. The Indians can
hardly be expected to submit to the kill
ing of their people while engaged in an
occupation which they think they have a
right to follow, more quietly than white
men, and failure by the government to
take proper action is liable to result in
serious losses of life and property"
If Capt Van Arsdale is right in his
conclusion that the killing of the In
dians was murder the government ought
to take means to see that the men who
were guilty are brought to justice Had
the Indians been the aggressors they
would have been hunted down at any
cost. The guilty settlers ought to be
pursued with the same zeal.

Tammany has been reorganized, but
the reorganization consists in substitute
ing one band of mercenary politicians for
another The new managers are no
better, no more reputable than the old.
What Tammany needs before it is fit to
govern in regeneration. The rank and
file must be inspired with different aims
and purposes before it will be any differ
emit from what it has been. AS long as
the rank and file are in politics simply
for what they can make; they will see to
it that the managers of the concern are
men who will see that there are plenty
of spoils and that they are distributed.
The majority of the crowd that train
with the society don't want honest
leaders, they don't want an honest adj
ministration of. the offices for then they
would get nothing. They are in politics
for dollars, and they don't propose to
have any watch dogs standing around the
public treasury if they can help it. Once
in while they have to profess reforma-
ton, but it is purely matter of bust
ness Their purpose simply is to lull the
voters to sleep while they get back into
the offices. They are having spell of
that kind now. The trouncing they got
last year has created necessity for
pretense of reformation and the reorgan-
ization is part Of the performance. But
if it gets back again the new organiza-
tion can be depended upon to loot tho
treasury just as effectually as the old. The
hungry gang made sure of that in ad-
vance.

If the indications of the Minnesota
State census turn out correct it will show
that in one State at leaststhe.tide of move
mont of population from the country to
the city has been checked and even
turned back. The census is not entirely
completed, but the indications are that il
will show that the population of only one
city. Duluth, has made any considerable
gain, while the farming sections are
much more populons than in 1890 Prob
ably the hard times, which have been
especially felt by the poorer classes in
the cities, has had something to do with
this. There has been little inducement to
go to the cities for several years past, for
they have been swarming with un-
employed labor, and though the agricul-
tural sections have not been prosperous,
yet cases of actual want in them have
been rare.

The Mayor of Havana has arrived at
New York and taken the earliest oppor-
tunity that was offered to pour out a
TRADE of complaints against the United
States. According to this hot blooded
official the Cuban rebellion would not
last minute but for the sympathy and
support it gets from the United States.
Filibustering expeditions are its main
stay, and he says very plainly that the
efforts of the United States to prevent
them are farcical in the opinion of the
Spaniards. He darkly hints that the time
will soon come when the Spaniards will
pay no respect to the American flag, but
will proceed to summarily sink vessels
which they suspect to carry filibustering
expeditions, whether they fly the Ameri-
can flag or not. The Havana official
thinks it real mean ON the part of the
United States to press the Mora claim at
this time when Spain is so embarrassed,
and intilnates that Spain is keeping ac-
count of the aid to the rebellion that
con rom the United States and will
ask q United States for damages later.
1t doesn't appear whether the Mayor is in
this country in any official capacity. but
from his conversation he is apparently

One Whitney club has already been
organized in Connecticut and it is said
that Tammany is very kindly disposed to
him, and is making arrangements to
lend the boom its assistance. Apparently
Mr. Whitney's recent interview declaring

The controversy over the Mora claim is
not so near settlement as was supposed.
1t seems the Spanish government has
agreed to pay the PRINCIPAL only, though
our Congress demanded payment of prin-
ciral and interest. AS the claim has

amounts to good deal, and under the

The second night of the Universalist
fair was quite largely attended. The
booths were all literally patronized and
eueryone seemed to enjoy themselves.
The entertainment given by the White
Minstrels was one of the fine features of
the evening and was creditably presented
by everyone who took part. 1t was given
by the boys of the high school as follows
Messrs. Smith, Anderson, Hunt, Nutting.
Fuller, Towle Emery, Foote, Beane, Cole,
Bates and Perkins. They were dressed
in white and their faces were painted the
same color. The entertainment which
they gave was after the minstrel show
style. The character songs by the Neri
children were also very much enjoyed, as
were the solos by Mr.. Biladeau and Miss
Weeks. Dancing was INDUCED in and
the evening was very pleasantly passed.
This afternoon the great baby show will
undoubtedly draw a large number and in
the evening the prizes will be distributed,
after which the fair will close with a
grand dance.

r,o mas more hustle at the meeting
80 o;tv fathers, Wednesday evening, than
thera has been at any meeting since
Waterville got into the present political
tangle. The first order of the present city
Government was passed ana signed Dy the
,navor. This was one which originated
In the lower branch and provides ior tne
establishing of the grade OF Mor,l''
avenue. 1t was passed in both pranches
without dissenting vote. Inc nfsC pusi-
ness was an order presented by Alderman
Ransted providing for comhlttee 10
consist of two members on the part OF the
board of aldermen, one from each poil1iaci
party, to meet similar committee on the
mart of the council, for the purpose Oh
making up list of standing committees.
TO this Alderman Folly objected ana
Alderman Reny called for the yeas anu
NAYS. Alderman Lasselle, who by the
way, is the one Democratic member dis
posed tC do the fair thing, saw at once
that this order was step toward gettine
the city government into shape to go ahead
with business, and voted with the Repub-
licans in its favor, so passing the ORDER,
which was then sent down for concur
renee. The order TO establish the grade
of Morrill, avenue was next received and
passed. The mayor then presented tho
roll which ought to have been passed at
the last regular meeting. which amounted
t. $3.50. This roll had been approved by
the Republican members of the committee
ON accounts. which was formed by an or
der passed, March 80 the Democratic mem
bers refusing to approve it. Here again,
Alderman Lasselle, seeing that the bills
ought to be paid, and understanding that
so far asthe board of aldermen was con-
cerned the bills included in the roll haG
been legally approved, voted with the he
pubicans and passed the roll. which went
to the lower branch to be voted down,
the Republican chairman there not bav-
ing vote in the maJter. All other Re
publcans voted in favor, the Democrats
opposed Alderman Ranst d offered an
order authorizing the treasurer to pay the
weekly slips of the men who work on the
streets each week. Alderman Folly raised
a strong objection to the order, saying that
it ought not to be passed, which was the
same as advocating that the men who are
working on the street from day to day
should go on working indefinitely with
cut their pay. Again Alderman Lassell.
WAS of the opinion that the men ought to
be paid and voted with the Republicans
to authorize the treasurer tt pay them.
according to their slip every Saturday
night These orders are now before the
lower branch to be concurred in. The
mayor and aldermen met as municipal
officers to ballot for an inspector of build
ings. A ballot was taken ard G. Gas
well was declared elected. Adjourned
In the common council room. most of the
evening was occupied by conference of
