The success of this encampment has been

set on securing that exalted position, but
from the strong undercurrent which per-
meates the rank and file Of the majority of
the G. A. r. posts that are here, 1t may
safely be stated that the "spell-binders
are not sin It," The plum will go to one Of

INDIANS ARE STARVING
Drowned Out, They Are in Great Need
Of Supplies

SUPAI, Ariz., Sept. 10.-Saturday,
August II, at 8 o'clock p. M, the most
disastrous storm visited this camp that
ever occurred here, within the recol-
lection Of these Indians, and, by far
the most destructive to the crops, their
sole means of support during the greater
portion of the year, and unless relief is
AFFORDED them within the next sixty days
they will suffer for the necessities of
life. The condition of these Indians Is
such as ought to appeal to the sympathy
OF philanthropists. missionary societies
and the public generally. These In
dians have always been self-sustatning,
and haven't any funds to their credit
by the government. This is an un-
expected calamity, for which they are
entirely unprepared, and to save them
from possible starvation supplies to the
value Of from three to Ave thousand dol
lars should be Immediately forwarded
to Seligman, Ariz., SO as to be freighted
to the Supai Indian village before winter
sets in, for then 1t will be impossible,
or accomplished only at great expen nse.
The food should consist largely of -four,
beans. sugar and coffee. The -four
should be shipped in fifty-pound sacks,
oS ~ wiz A'ANS ~ NC PdShS0 III Ill ~ =
pound quantities on each side Of pony
for portion Of the distance. Other
supplies should be 1000 pounds Of wheat
for October sowing. clothing and blank
cts, 1900 peach. apricot, cherry and pear
trees. fig. orange and lemon trees for
fall planting, for some families have
lost even their fruit trees. All haste
should be made, that some SUPPLIES may
reach the Indians Immediately. We
recommend that the supplies be sent in
care Of the railroad company, to be de-
livered to Horac e. Wilson for distribu-
tion, and invoiced to Mics G. s. Ferry,
employees in the government service at
Supai. Receipts for the same will be
forwarded to all donors, signed by the
Indians, as is the case with all supplies

The reason so many failed to make this

MN. aRYAN,s INTERVIEW.

Every anti-Imperiallst, no matter what
may be his views on the currency ques-
ton. will admit that the outlying OK
Hon. william Jennings Bryan. at Sa-
vannah. Tuesday night. was sound and
patriotIc. Moreover. all thoughtful I'm
perialIsts will recognize that there was
in Il ,ruch worthy of their earnest con-
sideration.
AIR. Bryan so clearly defined the dill
ference between Jeffersonian expansion
and Mckinley Imperialism that he who
runs may read. He showed that the I'M
perialists had absolutely no ground upon
which to appeal to Jefferson for support
OF their policy. And he laid down doc
trine-enunciated a fundamental truth-
which is sustained by the fathers OF the
republic and the dictum OF the highest
court i'm the land, when he declared that
the imperialistic idea is directly antago-
nistic to the idea and ideals which have
been cherished by the American people
since the signing of the Declaration OF
Independence.
As to Mr.. Bryans suggestion for solving
the problem the signing Of the treaty
with Spain presents, the idea In
volved would seem practical in itself,
but the question is, Would it be practi-
cable to carry it out? Mr.. Bryan would
have us ratify the treaty as it stands.
his view being that that would prove the
shortest way of closing matters with
Spain. Then he would have us follow
this action with a reafiirmation by Con-
gross of our purpose regarding Cuba
and an assertion Of the same purpose in
respect Of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. Should Porto Rico, after this. de-
sire annexation, he would agree to it,
but under no circumstances would he
hold the Philippines.
But isn't it TO be feared that after the
Philippines had once been bought an
imperlalistic administration would find it
all the easier to influence congressman
to support its programme, by distributing
patronage? However, there is this 70 he
said in any event, of Mr.. Bryan's sugges-
ton: The Senate failing to reject the
treaty, Mr. Bryan opens another possible
door through which we may go back to
first principles.

SNOW on THE SIDEWALKS.

The Supreme Court Of New Hampshire
has just decided a case in which II in
validates Il city ordinance, adopted under
legislative authority, which made it the
duty of abuttng lot-owners to clear the
snow from their sidewalks Though the
controversy really involved but few dol
lars, so far as the litigants were concern
ed. the facts in issue are peculiarly in
teresting and have attracted no little at
tention among the legal profession.
The Judge who wrote the opinion for
the court dived deep into many constitu-
tional questions, and evidently regarded
the case as one Of sufficient Importance
to justify a full explanation Of his views.
He held that the enforcement Of the or
dinance imposed an unjust burden on the
property-holders, and represented n sys-
TEN OF unequal taxation. Here are some
OF his ideas about the matter: at is SIM
ply an unequal division, for economy and
convenience only, Of public expense and
public burden among a class Of taX-pay-
ers. who have not only once contributed
and borne their full share agreeably TO
their constitutional duty, but who are
again required to make contribution, not
proportionately and according 10 the VAL
uatfon of their property or the benefits
they receive but disproportionately, and
solely according TO the length OF the
street lines of their respective lots. This
is extortion and inequality pure and sim
pie: and it is nothing else"
The able and panstaldng editor Of the
Virginia Law Register, who evidently eX-
poets n cold winter In his section Of the
State. discusses the decision Of the north
ern court at length, and shows by many
citations that there IS a conflict Of legal
opinion on this question. He quotes a
New York judge, who maintains that In
this latitude the snow becomes a great
nuisance and seriously interferes with
travel and business. \ city would find It
impossible to keep its many miles OF
streets clear of snow, but every man can
attend to that which is in front of his
own door, and it is reasonable and neces-
sary that he should be made 10 do so.
Though many concede that the New
York judge is right, II IS persisted by
those who oppose him that according 10
his theory citizens should be required 10
clear the snow from the middle of the
street, as well as from the sidewalks, or
keep them swept and sprinkled in the
summer or lit at night
1t appears that this question has never
been directly decided in Virginia. The
editor Of the Register ventures the opin-
ion that if no personal benefit accrued TO
the lot-owner or if the performance OF
the duty were made a personal obliga-
ton. as it usually IS, the ordinance would
hardly escape the condemnation Of our
tribunals. He hopes, however, that If the
question arises here Virginia's courts may
find some ground for UNFOLDING the prac-
tice, as great Inconvenience would other
wise result.
