FRIDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1902.
That Democratic Rally.

The democratic rally that was adver
tised to take place in Julesburg Thurs
day of last week occurred on schedule
time. However, instead of four speak
ers there were only two-CongreSsman
ShafrOth and Charles H. Pierce. As
each of the gentlemen is possessed OF "a
good stock of verbosity, the two had
no difficulty in filling out the evening.
Mr.. Pierce was the first speaker intro
duced by Chairman Beatty, and for an
hour and half harangued his audi
ence, which was clearly inpatient to
have him quit, ;vld to have Congress
man Shafroth begin. The burden of
his talk was an attack upon the repub-
lican candidates and laudatory expo
sition OF the work done by Mr.. Shat
roth in congress. Finally when the
patience of his audience had been
quite exhausted, and his own vitality
was at II low cbb, the gentleman took
his seat and Congressman Shafroth
was introduced by the chairman.
Mr.. Shafroth's speech clearly dem
onstrated the truth Of the statement
recently made by the secretary Of the
treasury. Leslie NJ. Shaw. that the
democrats are entirely without an is.
sue in this campaign. At | asst nu
living issue was presented by Mr..
Shafroth, although number of dead
issues were resurrected by him. ans
an attempt was made to infusc them
with new life. Imperialism, the siiv, i
issue, the Cuban question all ques
tions long since settled in IL manner

With the exception of the tariff que>
tOn as it relates to monopolie", not Il
real live issue was touched upon by
Mr. Shafroth And in his discussion
of the tariff question the gentleman
was not consistent. He advocated a
revision of the tariff upon all trust ar
ticleS excepting upon sugar. Upon
this article he would have the tariff
retained, doubtless in ordcr that TIenr,
Oxnard and the other beet sugar mag.
mates could continue to pile up thei
millions at the expense oi the cotl>nm
ers.
Besides demonstrating the fact that
the democrats are without an issue in
this campaign. Mr. Shafroth's speech
showed that he himself is without a

One of the most interesting and curl
GUS lighthouses in the world has
just been completed on the cape which
forms the southern end of the island
of Formosa. Standing in n region in
habited only by hostile savages, this
structure is not only a lighthouse,
but also q fort. The lantern is pro-
tected by revolving steel screens, and
in the gallery around the top of the
tower is mounted a machine gun. The
tower is of steel. and around its base
is built wrought iron refuge. or fort,
which communicates by bullet-proof
covered passages with the keepers
house. The station is still further
protected by a loopholed wall and a
dry ditch. flanked by two towers in
which are mounted S-pound cannon.
There is a large staff attached to the
lighthouse and the station is well sup
piled with material for standing 2
siege. There are kept on hand con.
stantly stores of food and ammunition
and large water taEks in the basement
of the tower always are kept full of
drinking water.

0uanah Parker Seeks
a High Office.

An Indian chiettain aspires to seat
in the United States senate. This is
not strange, for other Indian chiefs
have had the same laudable ambition,
but in this particular instance the
aspiration might yet be realized. The
aspirant is a power among the tribes
Of the Indian Territory and is famed
for his achievements in the civil walks
OF life in the great southwest. He is
strenuously working to form con-
federation of the tribes of the Indian
Territory in the hopes that statehood
for the territory will then be easily
secured and his election as United
States senator would be almost sure 10

There are ninety United States sen

than twenty years. The recent success

his present term does not expire until
1903; but he resigned in 1882 to become
secretary OF the interior, an office
which he held for three years. at the
close of which he was returned to con
gress. MIR. Plat of Connecticut has
been more than twenty-one years a
senator; his colleague, Senator Haw-
ley has been in the senate nineteen
years; Senator Cullom. whose term eX-
pires March next. and whose successor
the next Illinois legislature will
choose, has had seventeen years of
service, while Senator Allison of Iowa
became senator in 1879 and has been
continually in that Office for twenty
seven years, and his term has still
three years to run. Senator Frye of
Maine was chosen nineteen years ago
and his colleague, Senator Hale, was
chosen at the same time Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts was elected in
| 1877 and has held his seat continuous
ly since then. Senator Davis of Min
nesota was elected in 1877, and the two

INDIANS AS POLITICIANS.
ElectionoerIng Among the Tribes on
Rather Unique Plan.

Rather Unique Plan.
The campaigns of the Indians are n
story of sharp moves and deep laid
plans, and, as among themselves they
cannot all he bosses, the game of poll
tics often becomes swift and exceed
ingly dangerous. Electioneering is
carried on in "A rather unique manner.
They give big picnics in the back
woods. Here the candidates meet ana
dehaao on certain subjects. II their
temper gets the better of them, and
it generally does, they fight it out.
At picnic given by the Cherokees
some i've years ago three men were
killed Eecause of the accusation by
one HAT the other two were guilty
ct ttosling horses. Big feasts are
held az these GATHERINGS, the eN
penses being borne by the candidate
who is elected. The bills are never
paid until after election; ther. the
winner takes them all into his Office
and gives vouchers on the government.
SO it Is genC.ally understood TIA. the
expenses of the campaign are borne
out of the public funds. There is no
such thing as taxation among tie In
dians, all of their money coming 'rGm
invested funds in the treasury mt
Washington. 1t is the aim of the whole
Indian populace not to keep this money
there. but to get hold of as much Of
it as possible. With that aim in view
they are apt to elect men who lay
stress on their ability as diplomats at
Washington. An attorney in Table
quah won 100000 fee for securing ,
big sum of money as an appropria-
fion to the lndians.-Detroit Fres

Audreas Lachapa of Mesa Grande,

years old. the old Indians date all
events from the battle of San Pasqual,
in 1916. AT that time his sons were
men. High above the valley upon
overlooking hills L9chapa heard the
thunder Of the heavy guns and the
sharp crack of rifles, and the next day
saw the dead men. There were many.
The Spaniards told him to fight the
Gringos, but he was afraid OF the ter
rible noise.
