All of the Democratic ward caucuses
were held at the usual places, last even
ing and straight Democratic nominations
made in all of the seven wards. Every
thing passed off quietly and there were
no contests. The most noteworthy thing
is the retirement of Gideon Pitcher as al

ed his ward long and well and he will be
greatly missed from the board, where he
has been chairman during the past year
His long experience will be missed by
both parties and his genial presence can
hardly be replaced. The Democrats be
lieve they have good man to take his
place, but no one can just fill Cid s.
shoes. He retires through his own wishes
as he could remained on the board indeli-
nitely had he so desired.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Country Produce Continues to
Be Unusually High.
The Western and Northwestern Job
bers All Report Good Business.
Cotton Stronger and Sellers Will Not
Place Heavy Contracts.

| New York, Feb. 2l-Bradstreet's to-
morrow, will say: Midwinter weather
conditions have ruled throughout a
large area, with the natural effect of
checking mercantile operations and
hampering the movement of gen.
eral merchandise and of the products
of industry. Country produce have
continued their upward flight, the
reached in eggs, while the cereals have
remained quite steady.
Especially good reports come from
the jobbers of the West and North
west, but it is to be noted that East
ern dry goods dealers have booked a
large business, limited only on cotton
goods by the unwillingness Of sellers to
commit themselves heavily, even at the
present advanced prices. Spot cotton
is again stronger, despite the heavy
movement.
The wooden goods industry remains
active. Demand for women's dress
goods is large, plain fabrics being
heavily sold ahead. Wool is firm, and
(Arizona) prices are relatively higher
than at the East.
Stock values at New York generally
declined after the announcement on
Thursday that the law department of
the government would begin proceed
ings to annul the Northern Securities
deal Liquidation by timid holders was
general, although the declines were
checked by support from large financial
interests and people connected with the
Northern Securities Co. declare that
the result will be that it's legality will
be established Amalgamated Copper

trade has been good, cotton goods have
been advanced and silks also tend up

Mexico City, Nov. 23.-The heavy
rise in gold premium caused the ex-
element in financial and business cir
Giles. The premium has been rising
all week, and has reached III. 1t is
generally conceded that a gold stand
ard cannot be long delayed, as silver
fuctuates In value so rapidly that it
cannot be relied on as a basis of u
rency. The new rise is believed likely
to be followed by a reaction, but on
all hands it is thought that a new and
permanently lower level has been
reached.
1t is reported that a car works on a

country, a favorable concession having
been granted.

BILLION AND A HALF,
Representative Pierce Says This Congress
VIII Appropriate This sum,

Representative Pierce Says This Congress
viii Appropriate This sum.
Washington, Nov. 23.-Representa-
tive Pierce of Tennessee has been look
ing ver possible estimates of appro-
priation bills, and believes the COM
ing session will appropriate as much
as $500, 000, 0UU, making considerably
over a billion and a half of dollars
for the congress.
"a large item Of appropriations"
said Mr.. Pierce tonight, consists of
deficiencies. The secretary of war,
for example, says he is going to cut
down the appropriation for the mill
tary establishment. His recommends
TOMS are adopted, and the new bill
will show a decrease as compared with
the last bill. Then the deficiency
expenses commence to come in, and
a careful examination would doubt
less show that the deficiency appro-
priations MAKE little difference be-
tween current expenses and those of
the last few years"
Mr.. Pierce expects to go into the
subject fully during the coming ses-
sion. He ls a member of the sub
committee on deficiencies of the ap-
preparation committee and will give
the matter close attention while the
deficiency bias are pending.

A Lexington Congregation Divides

Disciples of Alexander Campbell Raise q
Sensation In Lexington, KY, by Vot-
Ing to Put an Organ In Their
House of Worship.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 23.-By a vote
Of 361 to 202 the Broadway Christian
Church today decided to install in
strumenta- music.
Behind the simple statement of this
action lies a sensation, for the vote
means the disruption of the church.
Not only does it mean that an organ
is to be placed in the church, but
also it means the withdrawal IL the
Rev. DR.. w. l.. McGarvey and from
$50 to 200 others persons who are op-
posed to an innovation opposed by AL
exander Campbell, lie founder Of the
church.
DR.. McGaryey is the churcn's first
pastor, and is now president of the
Bible College of Kentucky University.
Another who is driven out is Elder
J.. W. Zachary, Prohibition candidate
for congress from this district. The
congregation knew this when the vote
was taken, and DR.. McGarvey and Ed.
er Zachary had already called for
their letters and stated what they
would do if an organ Was installed.
They will join the Chestnut Chris
tian church, which has not heard the
sound of an organ or the singing Of
paid choir. The voting was by bal
lot, which was sent TO the church Sec
rotary, Virgil Mcclure.
DR.. McGarvey has published his
views on the subject, and gives Scrip
tural reasons for refusing to worship
with instrumental music.

INDIAN MUST WORK.
Commissioner Jones Says Ration
Policy Is Demoralizing.
Custom OF Wearing Long Hair and Paint
Ing Red Is Also Frowned Upon Fig
ures Showing Cost of the Gov
ernment's Wards.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones, in
his annual report, estimates that the
government, from it's foundation to
1890, spent $s45, 275,29O in fighting,
subduing and controlling the Indians
of the country and $240,00O, 600 for
the education and care of their chill
dren.
THE extent and demoralizing eff
fects of the ration system evil" says
the commissioner in explaining his
policy of abolishing the system,
were generally recognized and uni
versally condemned, except, per-
haps, by a mistaken philanthropy,
which, ignoring the natural law that
man must earn his living by the
sweat of his brow, would exempt
the Indian from labor and carry him
upward on fiowery beds of ease. 1t
was felt that it was time for a
change. Heretofore dealing has been
with the tribe; it is now with the in
dividual. His manhood is appealed
to and he is to be taught self-reliance
and self-respect, and to put his hand
to the pillow if he would work. Moth
ing is further from the truth than
the assertion that the plan is to hire
out adult male Indians as contract
laborers. The results of the policy
have been favorable even beyond X
pectations and there is every reason
to believe that the final success of
the plan, if carried out judiciously,
is assured. AS a first result over H.
900 have been dropped from the "a
ton roll, being wholly self-support-
ing. As a second result a large num-
Der of Indians have been put to work,
or work has been found for them
Concerning the order directing the
agents to encourage the discontip-
ance of the Indians custom of wear
ing long hair, painting, etc, Mr..
Jones says the reports on the sub
ject by the agents are all in and
that the concensus of opinion eH-
pressed is that it is a step forward
and in the right direction"
The report advocates that agen-
cies and portions of agencies be
placed under the charge of bonded
superintendent of training schools,
Il policy already started wherever
practicable and, according to the
commissioner, giving better admins
tration than when the same agencies
were under the control of political
fanatics.
The total cost Of Indian schools
during the fiscal year vas $3,637,7S5,
or $13S per capita. This amount
maintained 249 schools, with an en-
rollment of 134,434 pupils, and, in adj
dition, a number of pupils at Hamp-
ton, Va, institute and at public
schools.

AN OLD APACHE LEGEND.
Which for the Red-Man's
Custom of Painting His Face
for the Hunt or War.

Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little
legend:
Long ago, when men were weak
and animals were big and strong, a
chief of the red men who lived in
these mountains went out to get a
deer, for his people were hungry.
after walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at it; but the arrow
was turned aside and wounded a
mountain lion, which was also after
the deer. When the lion felt the
sting of the arrow he jumped up and
bounded after the man, who ran for
his life.
HE was almost exhausted, and,
when he felt his strength giving way
fell to the ground, calling on the big
bear-who, you know, is the grand
father of men-to save him.
1.-The big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly; so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the
man.
"Now, you must know that no ami
NAL will eat of the bear or taste of
his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away; but as he did so his
foot scraped the face of the man,
leaving the marks of his claws on the
blOod-smeared face.
"When the man found that he was
uninjured he was so thankful that
he left the blood to dry on his face,
and never washed it at all, but left
it until it peeled off.
where the claws of the lion
scraped it off there were marks that
turned brown in the sun, and where
the blood stayed on it was lighter.
Now all men paint their faces that
way with blood, and scrape it off in
streaks when they hunt or go to
war"
