Claim Sixty Thousand Acres of Lnnd
NnN Held bN MhiteA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-Colonel Henry
Bradley and r. p. Hammond jr., left for
Oregon last night as members of the gov
ernment commission to settle the disputed
boundary line of the klamath Indian reser-
vation. The question has been in dispute
for many years. The original survey and
the later one observed by the settlers. leaves
discrepancy of 10000 acres in the roserva-
tion which the Indians claim. II seems
that the young Klamaths who went TO school
and received liberal educations have studied
the question with view of recovering the
lands of their forefathers from the whites.
They interested Senator Mitchell OF Oregon
in the matter and the last congress made
an appropriation OF $4,000 and appointed a
commission to settle the boundary question,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. i4.-Baron Mich

Washington, ID. c., whore he intends to
present, through the Russian embassy, the
form Of a new treaty governing the seal
trade between his country and the United
States. lie said: IL am sorry to say that
our seal rOokeries are falling of very notice
ably. Every year the seal life of the islands
is diminishing. This is principally owing
to the work of The pOachers, who encroach
on our limits constantly. with the small
force at my disposal and only the occa-
sonal assistance of two Russian war ships
do the best | can to prevent these in
roads, but all Of our work seems to be in

more complete patrol We have thirty
mile treaty limit with England and one
object of my visit to this country Is to try
and bring about some agreement of the
same kind with the United States. The

Canada bother us more than any others"

The paper that in 1892 denounced the
payment of pensions as not demanded
by any honest debt and wanted to
know how many more years it would
take TO exhaust the generation of union
veterans, still has the audacity to beg
for the votes of the old soldiers for its
chosen candidate and former editor,
William Jennings Bryan.

"ship If Mckiniey is Elected"

a letter just received from traveller for

OF this city encoses three large orders OBJ
tained in Arkansas with this instruction
written under each of them: "Do not
ship until after the election. If Mckinley
is elected ship at once; If Bryan is elected
wait for further Instructions" This is a
condition which many commercial travellers
find necessary to attach to the orders which
they send to the home office. The pros
poets nf McKinley's election have bright

'VUT
The farmer knows that wheat has de-
preciated since 1878, and the mine owner
tells him that It is because silver has de-
preciated. Because many western farmers
have accepted this falsehood as the truth
silyerites claim that they understand the
currency question better than sound money
men. But these silverites tell but half
the story of depreciation. In 1855 the aver
age price of wheat at Mark Lane, London
was "A shilings g pence quarter. In
1870, which was. three years before the de-
monetizaton of. silver the average price
was 46 shillfngs II pence quarter Yet
in 1870 our npts were open to silver on
precisely the'Atule terms as in 1855. The
farmers should a ask the silver orators to
account for this.

subject is one which concerns all classes,

result of organized effort along this
line, but much work is also yet to be

Our brilliant free silver contempory
tries to ridicnle the idea that the coun,
try could be brought to II silver basis
without n free coinage law, because, it
says, If the president should redeem the
SrceHbocks in silver he would have to
redeem them in existing silver dollars,
which are equal 10 gold. True they are
now equal 10 gold, but would they be
equal to gold If Bryan naugurated hi

Geor&in's "Qnier' Election.

The recent election in Georgia, in which
four men were murdered and fifth was
lynched, and which was spoken of by the
newspapers of that state as having passed

which appeared in st. Louis newspaper in
reconstruction days concerning a "killin "
in Mississippi. 1t told how the whites be
came annoyed" at the voting OF the negroes
and how they went to the negro quarter of
the town and killed all but one man, who
escaped to a swamp. The dispatch had this
naive ending: AT this hour the town is

TIE pnprLLhr MANIFESTO.

The manifesto issued by the executive
committee of the populist party is IN
adroit appeal for harmony, but it may
he doubted whether it will have the
desired effect of perSuading the middle
of-thc-road populiSts that it is their duty
to sacrifice everything in the interest
of the Chicago nominee for president.
The assumption that in the event of the
election of Mr.. Bryan the pOpuliSt party
will br The party of the country may
have warrant in the fact that the views
# the pOpocratic candidate are distinctly
populistic, but il is by no means certain
that the element which trickcd the pOpu-
lists at st. Louis, with the cOnnivanc"
of Mr.. Bryan, would not trick them
again with Mr.. Bryan in the presidential
chair. The southern free silver demo
Gratis who are supporting the Chicago
ticket and to whom Mr.. Bryan owes his
nomination have no use for populiStS
and in free silver congress they would
he the dominating power. SO far aS the
declarations of the Chicago platform are
in accord with the doctrines of the popu-
lists that party would get what it
desires, but no more and it would moi
have the credit for that 1t remains
to be seen what effect the manifesto
will have upon those populists who are
hostile to Sewall, but we question
whether they will generally see the mat
ter as the committee presents it. Some
thing interesting from the Hon. Tom
Watson would seem to be in order.
