1t is a late day in the history of the
Indian for him 10 take up the role
OF landlord, but he seems to have done
so successfully in the state of Oregon.
This new condition OF agriculture
exists in that portion of the state oc-
cupied by the eastern Oregon Indians.
Ncminally these tribes have aban-
doned their tribal relations, and their
members have taken lands In sever
atty, but instead OF occupying their
farms, they rent them to whites. who
pay a rental Of from $3.50 to 50 per
acre.
The crop raised is almost invariably
wheat, and when that grain sells at so
cents a bushel. the farmer makes
profit of about s25 an acre from each
crop, the cost Of production being
about $3.50 an acre. These Indian
farms embrace 100 acres OF land each,
and as they are being carried on un-
der the rental system, the white man
10 tht oht VIM 10 thc must piohNcN,
but so general is the rental system
that only one Indian in the three
tribes cultlvates his own farm.
1t will thus be seen that even into
the new condition the Indian carries
the thriftlessness which has ever
marked his race, and that it is but
question of time when the white ten
ant will drive out his red landlord.
These lands were allotted to the In
dams in the winter of 1861. and to
show how shrewd bargain the "un-
tutored savage drove with the gov
eminent, it is told that be admitted
into the tribes very many whites who
had a slight mixture Of Indian blood
in their veins, upon the payment of
an initiation fee varying from S. to
$500. as the chief saw fit to impose.
The fee being paid. the chief saw that
none were sighted when 1t came to
a division Of their lands, and about
thirty-five white men took their share
Of Indian lands.

THE SPANISH BUDGET
Estimates by Secretary of the Treasury
OF Expenses and Disburements-A
Cariist Filibuster Steamer Seized

Madrid. June lit is emi-officially
announced that the Spanish minister
of finance, Senior Villaverde, has estab-
lished the equilibrium of the budget. 1t
is understood that tax of 20 per cent.
will be imposed on internal rents and
that as regards the external debt the
July coupons will be paid in full, but
the government will ask the cortes for
authority to negotiate with the foreign
bondholders with the view Of obtaining
a reduction in the rate of interest.
The budget was submitted to the
chambers today by the finance minis
ter, Senior Vfllede. 1t showed that
the expenditures for the colonies from
the commencement of the insurrection
in Cuba ito the end of March, 1899, were
1853, 355, 900 pesetas, of which 1,I96, ,269,-
600 pesetas were for Cuba, 1912, 900 for
Porto Rico and 165, ,9S8, 900 pesetas for
the Philippines. Of these sums /, 1,445,-
279,000 are represented by bonds and
other securities outstanding.
The budget estimates the expense for
the fiscal year at 937 7,17S,134 pesetas, and
the revenue at 937, $50, AS pesetas.
Senior Villerde proposes a per cent.
which, deducting the 100000 pc
setas received from the United States,
exceeds 400, 900, 600 pesetas. Introducing
the budget Senior Vnlerde speaking of
the colonial debts, said it vas to be
expected that the United States would
assume these obligations, but the Amer
leans having refused TO meet them
Spain would be obliged to pay them.
The minister acked for authority 10
open negotiations with the foreign
holders of Spanish bonds TO obtain thei-
consent to the imposition Of a tax
upon the income from Spain's exterior
debt, which is impossible, without such
consent, owing to the governments for
NAL WRITTEN promise.

Why do you fear the opposition of

:" No, but he has illusions. He hopes
for the intervention Of the great Euro

counts on the cooperation of japan
And you, sir, for what do you
hope?'
Oh, for myself, 1 hope the war will

ed the act (chapted 679) appropriating
100000 for maintenance and support of
the states prison for each OF the years
1899 and 1900. 1t seems to me this gen
eral assembly intended to limit ex-
pendltures for maintenance and sup
port of the states prison TO $4,000 per
annum for 1899 and 1900. III warrants
drawn by your board embrace items
of account and expenditures for part
OF 1899 as most of them do. and the
treasurer should pay them upon pre-
sentation. how could he tell when he
had reached the limit provided by the
general assembly, to wit, $50 900, having
no means of knowing what part OF
each warrant embraced items of ac-
count and expenses for the portion OF
1899. Would it not be impossible in
such case for the treasurer to comply
with section 5, chapter COZ.

Especial TO The Messengero

Raleigh, n. c., June 17.-Three hun
dred warrants have been sent out by
| the penitentiary executive board, COW
ering all debts I'D to March 9Th. If
these are protested by the banks after
the state treasurer's declaration ii will
cost 5000. There is evidently a sharp
clash between the board and the treas
urer. Osborne, of the board, says it
has drawn the warrants legally and
that if the treasurer does not honor
them the entire blame must rest upon
him.

iiC iCSdIu dS Sll Stllu ISlldDle,
that an anti-amendment campaign
fund of $4,000 has been secured by re-
pubiicanS and that the plan is to use
most of it in paying for legal opinions
of such lawyers as can be induced to
write opinions against the constitu-
tionality of the franchise amendments.
When they are in hand they are to be
printed and the state is to be flooded
with them. In addition to this method
of distribution, he is also informed,
Senator Pritchard and Congressman
Linney are to manage to get these
opinions published in the Congressional
Record, as part Of speeches made by
them and have them distributed by the
government. Of course it is easy for
republicans to raise this sort of fund.
They have only to say to Hanna: For
the purpose Of keeping the negroes in
the close states, in the north and west,
we must make a show of standing by
them in the south. We want 5000
for this purpose" and Hanna will at
once turn it over. While the national
republican party cares nothing for the
negro vote in the south, it is very anx-
iouS about the negro vote in the north.

Smokeless Powder Factory Blown Up

San Rafael, Cal, June 1.-THE Unit

factory, situated on Point San Pedro.
several miles from this town, was the
scene or a disastrous explosion today.
AS a result four employees were killed
and three seriously wounded, while six
buildings were demolished by the shock
and the flames.
1t is surmised that the primary
cause of the explosion was the Grim
mai carelessness of one of the work
men who was smoking in the granting
room. The quantity of smokeless pow
der which was involved in the explosion
is estimated at four tons and the con-
cussion was tremendous
A second explosion quickly followed
the first one and soon four of the mix
lng houses were in flames and were en-
tlreiy consumed. The property dam
age today will not probably exceed
