Injured Innocence.

Frederick Lemaitre, the well known
actor, was afflicted with an abnormal
tendency to pride and self esteem, even
for man Of his profession. His despotic
bearing toward the employees at the
theaterS often led to an exchange Of
angry words. At the fiftieth perform
unce of play he would expect the mu-
sicians to exhibit the same eagerness to
hear him as ON the first night. Hc ex-
pressly forbade them to read their pa
pers in the orchestra during the intervals
Of playing, as had been their custom
from time immemoriaL Frederick pre-
tended that the practice 'interfered
with his play.

THE Indian appropriation bill
which after lengthy discussion
was agreed to by conference
committee from both houses Of
congress is now ready to go to the
president, the report having been
adopted by the senate and house
of representatives. Aside from
the creation of new duties for the
Dawes commission there Is hat
little known here of its provisions
as il relates to the affairs Of this
country. Some gentlemen wei
informed claim that it provides fol
the incorporation of towns anc
for the maintenance of public
schools. while others are equally
positive that it contains nothing
in that direction. Be that as i
may it is about all the Legislation
we will get this session of coli
greSs and we can only acccp
whatever crumb it throws us. On,
thing is certain it will keep th'

The democratic hosts of the
Indian Territory will assemble IL
convention at Ninita next Tuesday
for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the national convention

our opinion the best thing for
them to do will be to exercise wis
dom in the selection of delegates
without reference TO the disturb
ances on national issues, leaving
them free To go to Chicago uu-
hampered by iron clad instruc.
tions. Their admission to the
convention at all is only an act of
courtesy and not of recognized
rights, hence the necessity for
confining ourselves to local
issues, which are in realty the only
issues we as people living under
present anomalous conditions,
have any right to claim and that
is only All inherent right of Amcri-
cans to kick for what we want
We can do that whether the con
venti0n declares for silver or gold
aud for Us to pass resolutions on
the financial question. is in onr
opinion, the sheerest nonsense.
Wait until we are recognized as ::
part and parcel of this great na-
tiOn and clothed with its privileges
of full citizenship, before we at
tempt to take the bit in our
mouths and say to the nationa!
government we demand a certain
financial policy for a nation in the

lute interest.

THE CONDITION OF TOBACCO.
A Good Crop Has Been Made in the
United states.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. l9.-The Ameri-
can Agriculturist. in its issue Of this week.
says:
More than half Of the cigar leaf to-
bacco crop grown In the United States has
been safely housed. and UP to date returns
show it to be Of the highest uniform quail
ity and largest in yield per acre ever har-
vested. There were $500 planters OF the
crop this year compared to 5000 in 1892,
while about 5000 acres were devoted TO
cigar leaf this year compared to 10000
in 1895. This is exclusive Of Florida, where
leaf of particularly fine quality has been
produced by experienced native and Gu
ban planters. II the now unharvested
crop averages in yielding quality with that
already cut, the American Agriculturist
expects the crop will equal 225
600 cases, $3.50 pounds to the case).
The proportion OF the crop suitable for
wrapper leaf promises TO be large. The out
look for prices is better than for several
years-for old leaf, because Of. the de-
creased supply and the increased demands
for the years crop. because of its promise
Of superb quality and comparatively
small amount. Consumption is on the in
crease, the taxes paid for the fiscal year
ended June 30 1896. being 6,2360O 900 ci-
gars and 4, ,402, 10000 cigarettes"
The American Agriculturist reports the
Cuban stock OF old leaf as practically ex-
hausted, and the crop this year and next
must be small. A large part of the wrap
per leaf grown in Sumatra has been unfit
for this market, over 40 per cent Of inn
ports of these wrappers having been
shipped back to Europe during the past
year as not suited to the American de-
mand. Dealers are cautious in contracting
for the new crop. The general tendency
among dealers is to wait until after the
election.

There was a very large attendance.
Charles s. Thomas who has been looked

arrival of many of the delegates. Its prog
ress was slow, owing to a concert in the
evening under the auspices of the trades
assembly of Pueblo, for the purpose of

before the labor organizations. The con-
vention took a recess until 10 o'clock p.
