DO Not Like the Proposed Sale of the
Chippewa Reservation.
FOsSToN, Mimi, Jan. 1.-The Chip

Leech Lake Indian reservations have
selected some of their chief men to go
to Washington to oppose the Towne bill
for the sale of the pine On on the reser-
vations in tracts of 100, 600 acres each.
The Chippewas claim that such a
method Of procedure Is simply playing
into the hands of a few pine land men
who do not wish the big buyers Of
Michigan and Wisconsin to come in
and bid. The Indians. of course, want
the biggest price possible for the pine,
as the money will go into the United
States treasury to furnish them annui-
ties.

POSTPONED THE BOND ISSUE
Reported Signing of Contract Proves

Reported Signing Ofthe Contract Proves
to Have Been Premature.
WASHINGTON, Jan. There were no
new developments during the day in
the matter of a new bond issue and the
opinion now prevails that it may be
postponed for q number of days yet.
The cessation Of large Withdrawals Of
gold for export and the fact that one or
more orders have been placed for gold
shipments from abroad are important
factors in the question of an early is
sue. On the other hand, the almost
daily announcement from the sub-treas-
ury at New York that considerable
quantities are being withdrawn in re-
demption of legal tenders. would seem
to Justify prompt action on the part Of
the president. These re%demptions, it is
said, are undoubtedly asked for the
purpose of accommodating a supply of
gold with which to purchase bonds
when they shall have been placed on
the market by the syndicate.
Rumors Regarding the Contract.
The report from New York to the
effect that the members of the new
syndicate have entered into an agree
ment by which the government is to be
at once furnished with 500, 00O, 900 in
gold and later on, at its option, with
500, 600, 900 in addition, cannot be veri-
fed at this time. 1t is the general opin-
ion, however. that this arrangement
for an additional contingent amount
was made with the approval of the
president, who is anxious that this issue
shall be the last during his term of
office. 1t is believed, further, that the
condition as to the procurement Of a
part of the gold from abroad and that
no part of it shall be withdrawn from
the treasury are made parts of the new
contract.

TWO AMUSING JOKES,

As Told by Mr.. Lewis Morrison, the Well
Known Actor.
Mr. Lewis Morrison, the popular actor,
tells two jokes on himself which-he says
the willy reporters had never gotten onto.
In neighboring city he presented
Faust and of course appeared as ME
phisto, the prince of Lawyers" The next
morning, feeling indisposed. he ordered
his breakfast sent to his room. A negro
boy brought the repast and on setting it
down began backing toward the door. at
the same time keeping his eyes on Mr..
Morrison. When he had reached the door
the boy paused and Mr.. Morrison told
him to 60 as he did not want him any
further. The boy jerking1y replied, "All
right, sir, but saw you last night" Mr..
Morrison said: well, what did you think
of me?" The boy replied, 81 has only one
consolation I didn't see no negroes in
hell"
The next night Mr.. Morrison tells it in
the apotheosis, where 1t is shown that
virtue triumphs over the devil Mr.. Nor
rison, as Mephisto, Is supposed to sink
through the stage and the fair, but great
ly abused Marguerite, ascends to heaven.
A peculiar accident occurred. The trap
was sprung and Mephistos form dlsap-
peared from sight, all save the skull piece
and proverbial feather. The trap had
stuck. OF course this was noticed in the
audience and particularly by one very
excited individual who exclaimed at the
top of his voice: "Huly Gee! He'll Is full

NOT UNTIL THEN.

On last Saturday afternoon and night
Mr.. Bryan, at the solicitation of the
friends of bimetallism in his home town,
Lincoln, Neb., delivered three speeches.
This was Mr.. Bryan's first appearance
before an audience since his defeat. His
first speech was delivered before the
Woman's Bimetallic club, of Lincoln. The
news reports inform us that some 1000
enthusiastic women We're damned into

about 1900 to hear him in the afternoon
and that the crowd that gathered at
night to hear him was so large that he
was forced to make two speeches in order
to meet the demand, all Of which goes to
show that the people have not lost any
of their former interest in the great cause
represented by Mr.. Bryan and also that
Mr.. Bryan is one of the few men who
are greater in defeat than 1t is possible
for others to be in victory.

sTEADILY DECLINING.

Cotton has been steadily declining in
price since McKinley's election as Presi-
dent. Is this an indication of what we
may expect during the four years he will
occupy the white house? Verify, 1t
seems that the south is destined to I'M
dergo hardships for the enrichment of
manufacturers and other leeches of the
east and Europe, who like vampires suck
the life blood from the toiling agriculture
al masses. Already we read of manufac-
turing plants of all kings taking on new
life and resuming operation. after lying
idle for many months. No one could
possibly object to this; but why is 1t that
the great agricultural classes are to de-
rive no benefit from better times?" We
are told that asshort cotton crop has been
made, and that there was no surplus left
over from last year. Then why should
not cotton take on the same boom and
bring the price that conditions merit? We

shadows what may be expected, and we

difference of opinion exists, democrats

democrats have certain rules which can
not be changed. One of these is that
there must be submission to the will Of

in primaries binds the voter to the re-
