The majority of the democrats

The majority of the democrats
conceive that the ticket nominated
at Philadelphia was the strongest
the republicans could have posi-
bly, presented. There are a few,
however, who insist upon inform
ing US how much better the party
might have done. We suppose
that had any other men been nom
mated they would have voted the
republican ticket? Well, we guess
not.

We shall quit joking with the
Deloit News, it takes US entirely
too seriously. In a jocund vein we
ventured to quote some paragraph
from the News in which a preach
er and the Satanic majesty who
presides v newspaper shops
were implicated, and suggested
that the News should apologize.
We did not even indicate to which
party the apology should be ten
dered, and we really did not intend
to injure the delicate sensibilities
of the Deloit journalist. Our ad-
vice would be that the News
should not take things so serious
ly and should get used to the good
natured comments concerning each
other with which the press is rife.
Print the News, brother, print
such minor items as the 4th of July
program of Deloit and the people
will be Just as we'll suited.

The democratic proposal to Kill:

The democratic proposal to kill
the trusts by reducing our country
to Observation-Disclosures, reminds
us of the excellent house wife in
Washington township who pur-
chased paris green to kill potato
bugs. She left it in the cupboard
and it got mixed up with the cook
les, and the result was the death
of her boy. She said that she
knew it would kill potato bugs but
she did not know that it would kill
children. Free trade may kill
trusts, but before it is too late we
wish to inform our democratic
brethren that it will also kill bust.

One of the amendments proposed is

change that there is no need of keeping
alive any portion of the old treaty.
Another change suggested is in regard
to the protection of the canal. The treaty

necessary in view of the instructions

such protection as the United States
deems necessary may be afforded along

Nearly the entire time of the committee

there is so much manipulation in it, and
it is such favorite stock with certain

SuperstitiOus Canadian Redskins

Victoria, r. c., Feb. Word has
been received by the department of In
dian affairs and by the police authorities
of fresh trouble, which is very serious
in its character, among the Indians of
Upper Lizard, probably two-thirds of
whom are still resisting the inroads of
civilization. Naturally the progressive
one-third of the native population are
subjected to considerable persecution,
and it is said in advices just received,
brought by way of Dease lake by special
messenger to Indian Agent Todd that
this has eliminated in the murder of sew
en- members of Scotch-Indian half
breed family of the name of McTavish.
The story as related by the special
messenger and mail bearer, Il. Z. Pope,
who is now in Victoria. indicates that
the original murt.,r may also have been
followed by the killing of Stewart. an
Indian policeman, and t - companions,
dispatched from Lake Town to arrest the
murderers. After the McTavish family
adopted many of the customs aud be-
liefs of the whites the enmity of their
neghbors became intense. With the
coming of an epidemic of scurvy last
ran tHe lnulhnS were ripe Tor serious
mischief Two old women, prompted
undoubtedly by the revengefu medicine
men Of the tribe, seized the opportunity Y
to start the cry that the sickness and
death had been brought abo% by witch
craft. IL term that never fails to arouse
the terror of Indians of the northern
wilds.
A council was held, the fact being kept
secret from the McTavishes, and it was
agreed that there had been no scurvy he
fore white men came to the camp. The
fact was emphasized that the McTav-
| shes followed the ways of the whites,
and thereupon they We're convicted, and
a night attack on them was planned for
| their destruction. Setting fire to the
McTavish dwelling, the sav4ses shot
their victims as they escaped. Only one
of the family of eight succeeded in reach
ing the shelter of the forest and ulti.
mately the Casca trading camps store of
Lake Town. Mr.. Pope is manager of
the store. Constable Stewart, with two
men, started out ut once under the gud-
| ance of the sole survivor of the hapess
family to arrest the murderers. and the
| trio had not vet returned when Mr.. Pope
left his home. Commissioner Porter of
Telegraph Greek was then preparing to
send an effective posse to solve the mys-
terry and take energetic action In the

them within the main body at the capitol
grounds. These orders will remain in

This was done to avoid any possibility
of irritation of Governor Goebel's friends
and partisans during the time the body
lies in state at the Capital hotel and the
burial and to allay as far as possible the
feeling caused by the presence of state
troops.
