The Lewiston Journal says the report of

The Yankton bonds matter was settled some

The contestants of the Coburn will called
several newspaper correspondents yesterday
to prove that the executors of the will re
fused to allow the publication of the will in
the papers in this State until it had been
published in a paper in Boston. What
bearing this testimony has we are not in
formed. Perhaps it is to be made the basis
of an argument that Gov. Coburn could not
have been of sound mind or lie would not
have appointed men capable of sucli a piece
of folly as his executors.

to either high or low license for the District
of Columbia, and in favor of nothing short
of absolute prohibition. He says he propose*
to devote his time to securing the adoption
of the bill introduced by him before the re
cess, looking to a more thorough knowledge
of the effects of intoxicants, in the interest of
the young people of this generation. The
liquor question is assuming gigantic propor
tions, and unless the Republican party comes
out squarely on the side of a prohibitory en
enactment and amendment to the constitu
tion in his opinion its remissness may prove
fatal to its prospects.
The latest of the many curious arguments
advanced by the Democratic press against
the admission of Dakota is the strangest of
all. A wild western paper claims that ad
mission ought to be refused out of kindness
to Dakota, because statehood is n curse not
a blessing. This remarkable argument comes
from the Chicago Times and it goes on to
say: “They have nothing to gain by ex
changing their simple, inexpensive territori
al government for a costly, cumbersome state
government. With more politicians to sup
port, higher taxes to pay, and heavier bur
dens of all kinds to carry, they will reap no
compensating advantages, and in point of
fact Congress could render them no more
substantial service than to keep them ‘out in
the cold’ for ten years to come.”
A correspondent of tfie New York World
had a long interview with the President on
Saturday, at which the latter talked quite
freely on several subjects. In the first place
he said that there was not a word of truth in
the report that he had sought interviews
with Republican Senators for the purpose of
talking over with them what should be done
with his appointment*. He had mentioned
the subject occasionally to some of his call
ers, but only in a casual way. The Presi
dent said one paragraph in his message he
had .'seen no comment on whatever, and it
was a paragraph which lie regarded as one
of the most important in that document. It
was the one that defined the duties of the
executive. Wfien he had made his recom
mendations to Congress or sent in his ap
pointments, his responsibility ceased and that
of the Senate anft the House began. He
said he had given the selection of public ofli
cers much care, and though he might have
erred in some eases lie thought in general lie
had made good selections. He said lie had
no means of knowing what action Congress
would take in regard to the silver coinage.
He had not the slightest desire to influence
Congress on this question or any other
except through his messages. His own idea
was that the business of the country is now
in a condition of uncertainty, owing to the
doubt as to what would be done with silver,
and he had written on the subject to the
best of hi» ability in his message. His no
tion about the tariff was that the only prac
tical way would be to have the House com
mittee charged with this work, take up the
subject in a business fashion and modify the
present law in such a way as to help poor
people who labor, and take away needless
protection from the few who have grown in
ordinately rich at the expense of the many.
There were many incongruities in the tariff
that he thought ought to be remedied, and
could be easily.
BRUTALIZINC INDIANS
There has been much done of late to inform
public opinion on the matter of the treat
ment of the Indians. There is general inter
est in the subject and the government has
outlined a seasonable and judicious policy
which the public are looking to see carried
out through the Indian Bureau so far as is
practicable.
The following cut from the correspondence
of the Chicago Tribute indicates that there
is at least one agent who requires looking af
ter—a man in a position of responsibility who
will allow such a brutalizing process as the
one described is not fit to drive mules.
The other day I was over at the Rosebud
Agency to see an issue of beef. The Rose
bud Agency is only thirty miles from this
post (Fort Niobrara), and it is put here to
keep those Indians in order. They are the
mixed tribes of Brule Sious—Spotted Tail’s
old bands. They number in all 8,200 souls,
and it takes 276 beef cattle to make an issue
for ten days. Whatdidlsee? Five hun
dred Indian warriors, armed with Winches
ter rifles and the best revolvers, were there
to kill the beef. .Steer after steer was let out
of the pens, and these warriors ran them over
iiic tv**niuuif, hiv in mcj nuiuu uuua
lo. One old copper-skinned rascal stood by
the chute, and as the gate would be raised to
let out the animal he would hit him on the
tail with a stone hammer to make him run.
The poor brute would roar with pain, and
then the gate would be raised and he would
dash out across the prairie with half-a-dozen
young Indians after him. Then the sport
would begin. First one young warrior would
shoot a horn off, then another would break a
leg, and so on. The poor animal would be
tortured to death by slow degrees, his death
being put off as long as possible so the sport
might last longer. And this was the govern
ment of the United States’ method of issuing
beef to its Indians, encouraging them to be
barbarous and cruel, making a gala day of
its meat issue, and giving the young warriors
a chance to learn to shoot well and ride well,
so that they can kill soldiers more readily
and kill citizens better if they should go to
war. I saw young Indian boys there tortur
ing cattle—poor dumb brutes—to death, who
should have been in school learning to read
»nd write—learning, if you please, to read
the Bible and of the Savior and God. It
struck me as horribie, and I could not but
unnk that it was time somebody gave the
government a few lessons in humanity, civi
lization, and economy, it takes $10,000 worth
of meat every ten days to feed those lazy red
rascals and furnish them poor dumb bmtes
on which to practice their cruelties and bar
barities. It made me sick and ashameii
think the government I represented would
permit such things to be done in its name.
THE HYDROPHOBIA NONSENSE.
One of the rarest diseases, in this country
at least, is hydrophobia. It Is much to be
doubted if a dozen genuine cases occur in
the whole country in the course of a year.
Bogs alleged to be mad are to be sure
quite plenty; but probably ninety-nine
out of every' hundred of such dogs are not
afflicted with genuine rabies. In most cases
what is pronounced a manifestation of hy
drophobia is simply a fit. Before Pasteur
advertised that he could render inoculation
with the virus of a rabid dogiharmless there
was great apathy on the subject of hydro
phobia. Since then there lias been a tremen
dous awakening in regard to it. To read the
newspapers of tbe time one would suppose
that the United States was in danger of be
ing depopulated by this disease. Scarcely a
day passes that we do not hear that some
city or town is in great alarm over a mad
dog which has been tearing througli tha
streets biting dogs and men right and left.
Tlie city of Newark seems to be the centre of
tlie scare. Yet there is no conclusive evi
dence that there has been a single rabid dog
in that city. Nebody knows*.beyond a rea
sonable doubt that the dog that bit the chil
dren sent to Pasteur had hydrophobia. It
was sick, but it is far from certain that it
was mad.
If the present craze had no other effect
than to decimate the number of worthless
curs barking and yelping about tlie streets
of great cities we should be inclined to en
courage it. But it is bringing a great deal oi
anxiety and worry to human beings. Ner
vous people bitten by a dog that does not
act quite naturally or shows signs of some
ailment are made miserable for weeks
and months by the fear that they may
have hydrophobia. Treatises on hydropho
bia, movements to establish hospitals for hy
drophobic patients, alleged deaths from the
disease accompanied with details of tlie hor
rible suffering that preceded them thrust
themselves into their faces, so frequently and
persistently that they are kept in a constant
state of nervous excitement, and if they do
not have hydrophobia they are pretty sure to
have something else.
There is no more hydrophobia in the coun
try now than there was before Pasteur made
his alleged discovery. There is no epidemic
of tlie disease raging in Newark or anywhere
else. Possibly some of the alleged mad dogs
that have been figuring in the newspapers
for some weeks past may have lmd genuine
rabies, but tlie probability is that not one of
them did. Tlie mad dog scare lias been
worked about enough. Pasteur has got his
full share of free advertising, and sufficient
prejudice against the dog has been created to
reduce his numbers considerably. Let us
return to the cholera.

RECIPROCITY IN RASCALS SURELY.
Chicago Tribune.
There is but one kind of reciprocity the
people want, and that is reciprocity in every
thing, whether it be fish, anchors, or hair
pins. There must be as unrestricted trade
between Canada and the United States as
there is between Massachusetts and New
York, or between New York and Illinois.
That is the only kind of Reciprocity our peo
ple want.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND TEMPERANCE.
Concord Monitor.
Rev. George W. Rutland, of Greenfield,
concludes a note to this office with this sound
testimony to the temperance outlook: “As
secretary of a state temperance organization
for the last eight years, and giving careful
attention to our annual symposium at Weirs
I am well pleased with the present outlool
and believe that the best legislation can be
conserved and advanced through united wort
in the ranks of the Republican party.”
President Creyy.
Francois l’aul Jules Grevy, who now en.
ters upon his second term as President of tin
French republic, was born at Mont-Sous
Vaudrez, in the Jura, in 1807, He was edu
cated for the law, and entered upon the
practice of his profession in Paris, being a
conspicuous defender at the bar of his fellow
participants in the revolution of July, 1830,
In 1848 he was returned from the Jura to the
Constituent Assembly, and proved himsell
one of the most able advocates of the Left
He was the author of a proposition that the
President of the Council of Ministers should
be elected by the National Assembly by se
cret ballot, which proposition was defeated
at the sitting of 1848, when it was decided
that the election should be by universal suf.
frage and for the term of four years. Aftei
the election of the tenth of December, M.
Grevy opposed the government of Louis Na
Doleon. who orotested acainst the exueditioi;
to Home. After the coup d etat he held
aloof from politics, and confined himself tc
the practice of his profession. In 1868 he
was appointed Chief of the Order of Advo
cates, and the following year he was again
returned as deputy for the Jura. On Feb
ruary 17,1871, M. Grevy was elected Presi
dent of the National Assembly, then sitting
at Bordeaux and now removed to Versailles,
and in discharging the duties of this impor
tant office he displayed remarkable tact,
judgment and moderation. He resigned this
office in April, 1873, when he was succeeded
by M. Buffet. In October, 1873, he published
a pamphlet entitled “The Necessary govern
ment,” in which he declared that “France
had been transformed, and has become a
pure democracy,” that her first mistake was
not to have founded a Constitutional Mon
archy, when she possessed the elements of
one/’ and that “her second mistake would
be the attempt to establish it when those
elements no longer exist.” At the general
election of 1876 he was returned to the Na
tional Assembly, and on the meeting of the
Chambers was elected its President. He
was re-elected in 1877 and again in 1879.
After the resignation of Marshal MacMahon
M. Grevy was elected President of the Re
public for seven years, Jan. 30, 1874, when
563 votes were recorded in his favor. M, de
Grery’s course as President has been dis
tinguished by moderation and tact, and his
re-election was not a matter of doubt.
Telling Time hy Flowers.
The judge’s house was over in the French
quarter of New Orleans, says a correspon
dent of the San Francisco Call, unattractive
outside, but as soon as you got into the broad
hall a cool breeze struck you, laden, without
exaggeration, with the balm of a thousand
flowers. The hall led right through the
house, and opened into a regular fairyland
of flowers—a garden, the like of which I had
never dreamed of. It was surrounded by a
high wall and had plants in it from every
country under the sun. The white-haired
old gentleman and a group of grandchildren
hanging about him took us about, and the
first thing we stopped at was a large oval
plot, set out with small plants around the
edge. “This,” said the judge, "is my clock.
What time is it, Clara ?” he asked of one of
the children. The girl ran around the plot
and said it was 4 o’clock, and so it was. The
fniir n’plrw'lr wne in hlfinm t4Tn font ” uoiil
the story teller, “the clock was made up of
flowers.” In the centre was a pair of hands,
of wood, covered with some beautiful vine,
but they had nothing, however, to do with
the time telling.
The plan was this: The judge had noticed
that at almost every hour in the day some
plant bloomed, and, working on this princi
ple, lie had selected plants of different hours
and placed them in a circle, twenty-four in
number, one for every hour. For example,
at the top of the eartnem clock, at 12 o’clock,
was planted the portulacca, and he told me
it would bloom within 10 minutes of 12, and
rarely miss. At the hours of 1, 2 and 3 he
had different varieties* of this same plant,
all of which bloomed at the hour opposite to
which it was planted. At 4 o’clock he had
our common plant of that name, and you all
know how you can depend on that. At 5 the
garden niotago came out, at 0 the geranium
triste, and at 7 the evening primrose. Op
posite 8 o’clock he had the bona nox and at
9 the silent noctiflora—all these blooming at
or near the time given. At 10 i^loek, if I
remember rightly, he had a cactus, at 11
another kind, and at 12 the night-blooming
cereus.
Half of the year some of the plants don t
bloom at all. The plants opposite 1 and 2
in the morning were cacti, that bloomed
about that time, and at 3 was planted the
common salisfy, and at 4 the chicory, at 5
the snow thistle, and at (i the dandelion.
