SKXAIOU HILL hus introduced a bill to
change the limit of the appropriation for
the government building at Denver from

American hog' Mr. Storra haa assumed
an attitude of great friendliness for that

friendship for the unfortunate animal is
certainly praiseworthy.
THE candidates for the judicial uhoos

There ia no doubt that such a ticket
vrould draw at both ends , as well as in

Senator VanWyck. The Trojans were

ourselves to the idea that tbo proposal

MtSTRKATMKNT OP INDIANS.
The news comes from Fort Buford that
the Indians at the Poplar Creek and Wolf
1'oint agencies are actually in a starving
condition , and must have immediate re-
iof. The Indians at Wolf Point have
within a year oaten up all their dogs , and
they nro now eating their ponies. A sim-
lar condition of nflnirs exists at the Pop
lar Creek agency , and many Indians are
reported sick and dying for want of food.
The scarcity of game and the limited gov
ernment supplies are assigned aa the
causes of this lamentable condition of af-
'aira. If the government has been furnishing -
nishing supplies sufliciont for tlicco Indi
ans , the question arioca , what has become
of them ? The government should imme
diately send provisions to these starving
'ndians , and llion investigate their affairs
n order to ascertain whether there has
joon any stealing going on.
The government , through its faith-
faithless agents , has time and time again
mistreated the Indians. It is just such
treatment as this , on the part of agents
and contractors , that has caused the In
dians to break out and go upon the war
: mth for revenge and self-preservation.
tt would seem that the agents at the
Poplar Crock and Wolf Point agencies
are in a great dcgrco responsible for the
condition of the Indiana at those points.
[ f the government was not supplying
provisions enough , it was their business
o so inform the commisionar and sco that
applies were forwarded in time to prevent -
vent starvation. Any agent , with any
'orcsiglit at all , would bo expected to do
at much as thia. The chances are , how-
ivcr , that an investigation will show
; hat the supplies , which were probably
deemed sulliciont , have either been stolen
or wasted , and that the agent haa boon
neglectful ot his duty in not informing
: ho government.
AND P01tTr.lt.
Congressman Valentino , of Nebraska ,
: nlla an interviewer that ho is angry with
limsolf for not being in Washington to
vote against the Fitz John Porter bill ,
ind that one of the questions that should
10 asked regarding a presidential candi
date is : "Ilowdocs ho stand on the Fitz
John Porter matter ? " This is one of the
'unnicst Valentines of the season.
Mcago Jlcrald.
It is in accord with the eternal fitness
of things for Congressman Valentino to
30 angry with himself for losing the op-
lortunity to vote against the bill to
relieve Fit/ John Porter from the odium
which such soldiers as Grant , Crook ,
Ferry , Schofiold , Slocum and Rosocrans
mvo pronounced as unmerited.

.ant-gcncral . of Iowa contain the follow-
ng testimonial of Mr. Valentino's army

11 has been alleged by Mr. Valentino
, hat this order vras subsequently modi-
led upon a review of the caao so far us it
related to himself und two or three oth-
otB charged with fraud and dishonesty ,
and the mustering ollicor waa directed to
; ivo thorn an honorable discharge. As a
natter of fact , wo have good reason to
joiiovo that Valentino
only escaped mor-
"tod and lasting disgrace through political
nfluenccs that were invoked in behalf of
the patties excepted from the execution
of the order. In the fnco of such a rec
ord it is the height of impudence
for Valentino to make himself
conspicuous in denouncing the vin
dication of a corps commander
who was made the scapegoat of the im
becility of General Pope. The least Mr.
Valentino could do , under the circum
stances , was to have kept quiet. Had ho
voted against the Fitz John Porter bill ,
nobody would have found fault with him ,
but when ho goes out of his way to bo
interviewed for the purpose of making
political capital with union veterans , ho
exhibits the "insolence of oflico" in its
most offensive form.
THE Atchison , Topeka & Santa Fo rail ,
road company have for some time shown a
strong inclination to extend their system
to the Pacific. The recent absorption of
the Atlantic & Paclflo gave thorn a line
to the Nocdlos , and now they have taken
the California Southern under their wing.
This road runs from Oolton , Cal. , east
ward to San Diego , a distance of 180
miles. This acquisition by the Atchison
completes a through line from the Mis
souri river to the coast , with the excep
tion of the eap between the Needles and
Colton , about two hundred miles. It is
the purpose to connect these points , pro
vided satisfactory arrangements can bo
made to purchase the branch o ) the
Southern Pacific from the Needles to
Mohave , which it is said the Southern
Pacific would rather sell than have their
line paralleled. Should the Santa Fo so-
euro thin branch , they would have to
build only about sixty miles to bring the
California Southern into their system.
It is proposed to put on a line of steam-
ships between San Diego and San Frnn
cisco , and "ultimately to extend the line !
along the Pacific coast to San Francisco.
STONY-IIr.Anrr.D
At the meeting of the Northwestern
Dairymen's Association , hold at. St. Paul
last wcok , an address was delivered by a
monopolist in sheep's clothing on the
legislative reflation of railways. The
address wai n cunningly composed argu
ment against any legislative interference
with the railroads. The dairymen as-
gambled resented it nsrtn insult , and gave
expression to their sentiments by adopt
ing the following resolutions :
Whorcas , The Northwcstorndairymon ,
in convention assembled , acknowledge
that a gocd and juit government may
take from the individuals governed cer
tain of their rights to the end that the
general prosperity of all may bo en
hanced ; and whereas , our government , in
the endeavor to increase the general
prosperity by procuring for each and all
rapid and reasonable transportation , has
taken from the people certain of their
individual rights , by the granting of the
charters under which the railroads have
boon built ; and whereas , many of the said
railroads have boon mainly , if not
wholly , built with the capital furnished
by the people through their servants , the
government ; therefore bo it
llcsolvcd , by the Northwestern Dairy
men's convention , That the people ,
through their representatives in the leg
islatures , have and ought to have the
right to enact laws for the control of rail
roads so fnr as is nopcssary for the pro
tection of the people in their rights ; that
they not only have the right but arc un
der obligations to cause the enactment of
such laws and to place it within the
power of the proper officers to enforce
them : that among the rights to bo thus
protected stands , nnd pro-ominontly
above all others , the right of any and
every man to ship any proper commodity
with the same facility and at
the same rates as it may bo
whipped by the most favored , and that
thu discrimination heretofore and now
snown by many railroads in establishing
a monopoly of any special business in
any given locality , and in the iinnds of ,
and for the bonolit of , particuhv individ
uals is highly subversive to the righto of
the people and the prosperity of the
country ; and bo it further
llcsolvcd , That wo appeal to and de
mand from the legislatures such action
as shall secure the people from such un
just discrimination in the future ; and bo
it further
Jlcsolvcd , That the sentiments ex
pressed in the paper on ' con
trol does not in the least moot with the
approval of this convention.
While these resolutions were pending ,
a statesman , who had hold a seat in the
legislature of Minnesota , with railroad
passes as incidentals ; appealed to the but
ter-makers to boar in mind that the , man
who hud delivered the offensive address
had boon a gallant patriot twenty years
ago , and had sung inspiring souga for the
preservation of the Uuiou. Ho
regretted very much that any
thing should be said that
would hurt the gentleman's feelings.
Such tenderness would have molted the
hearts of the most hardened oleomarga
rine manufacturers but the butter and
cheese convention remained 110 solid an a
rock , in spite of the fact that the Minnesota
seta statesman's appeal was "a nv torly
and eloquent impromptu speech , which
brought up the memories of twenty years
ago with the ring of patriotic senti
ments. " Truly , it is a cruel and unsym
pathetic world. ,
Tutmodern style of dressing the fem
inine head with an abundanco-of false
hair haa its practical as well as ornament
al uses. This has been recently shown
in iv very convincing manner in Colorado.
It scorns that Senorita Chavez , wife of a
trader , at Islota Pueblo , was very jealous
of a certain Indian maiden in < whoso
lioueo-ako found her husband. A fight
took place between the women , during
which the dusky maiden got hold of
Senorita Chavez's back hair. The hair
javo- way and came oil' , and the Indian
beauty became BO frightened at the idea
that she had scalped Mrs. Chavez , that
she fainted completely away. Mrs.
Jlmvea took advantage of this and ad-
ninistorod a most frightful beating on
, ho girl. This incident convoys n hint to
, ho whitu women of the frontier. They
should lese no time in providing thorn-
solves with an abundance of wavss , bangs ,
curls and waterfalls , which might some
day bo the moans of saving thorn from a
[ junuino smlping.

A correspondent of The Cleveland
icador snys : A inombor of The Detroit
'ion PrcHa ataffgivca mo aomo interesting
gossip aboat Charles B. Lewis , or "M.
jund , " who has made that paper fatuous
> y his humorous articles. "Lowis , " said
u ) , "is now a mnn of 45 , pleasant nnd
jovial in company , but perhaps bolter
latisGcd in solitude. Ho started life as a
.irinter on n one-horse paper in Lansing ,
Mich. Bub ho had ambition for somo-
, hing better , and seeing one day an adver-
iaemont in n printer's journal that there
vas a paper wanting an editor in Jones-
joro , Tonn. Ho applied for the situation
ind his proposition was accepted. Ho
throw up his situation in Lansing and
started for Joneaboro. Coining into Cin
cinnati , he was surprised nt the bigness
the city , and when ho saw the steamer
which was to convoy him down the river
puffing and blowing out great quantities
of steam ho rather feared to enter her.
tie went up to tha clerk who was taking
bills of lading and asked him if ho thought
; hero was any danger of tho'steamer
blowing up , as if so ho did not care to go.
\ . crowd , of passengers standing by
aughed , and the clerk was inclined to
think that Lowia was trying to guy him.
\ glance tt his green country air nnd a
ook at his honest face convinced him
, hat the young man was in earnest , nnd
10 assured him that the "Magnolia , " for
t was that famous boat , was all right , and
, hat ho could safely trust himsolt to her.
With that M. Quad took his bundle from
iis shoulder and stepped on board ,
tfow , a rival boat had got about fifteen
miles' start of the Magnolia , and as
she loft the wharf she put on all steam ,
ntonding to catch nnd pass her.
Liowis supposed it was all right , nad was
much interested in watching the machi-
isry.
Iho Magnolia was the fastest boat on
, ho river , but thia time she outdid her-
lelf , and just as she came in sight of the
oiyal boat her boiler burst , and up went
; ho ship and Lewis wcnb up with it , but
ioming down near the shore ho was just
iblo to crawl to dry land when ho sank
down insensible. Being so near the
engine , ho was badly injured , and hia
'ace ' was so covered with soot tluvt he
ookcd like a * very negro. Those who
anio to the assistance of. the other pas
lOiigors thought him such and paid no
ittention to him until all the others wore
cared for. Then they took him in charge
ind sent him to the hospital at Ciiicinna-
; i. His eyes were almost put out , and it
wai not thought that ho would live. Seve
ral doctors came in every day and discus
sed his physique and his prospects of dy-
ng , by his bedside.
Notwithstanding all thia ho recovered ,
iftor a pretty hard siege , aud concluded
; o go back to Michigan. Ho did * so , , and
obtained work as a printer on one of the
jountry papord in the interior of the
tato. Thia paper was called the Jack-
onian , and its editor was rather a slow-
; oing coach , who used the scissors rather
han the pen. One day Jio wont away
rom town , leaving Lewis , in charge , and
oi enough copy to fill out the paper ,
iewis was at his wits' end , but ho liimlly
locidcd to write enough to 1111 it out hiui-
olf. Ho then composed the article giving
t full account of his adventures on the
Mieaisoippi in detail. It wan headed
'How It Feels to Bo Blown Up. " And
, owis composed it in a humorous vein ,
otiiug it up us ho went along. The as
ide was copied widely , and , anionj ; other
ittpera , in The Detroit Ereo Press.
Juimby , its editor , shortly afterward
ugaged Lowia to go to Lansing and writa
> p the legislature for him. Ho didi this
o well that at its close ho was called to
Detroit to take n permanent local place
on the paper. Ho came into the city and
directly to the office , whore ho accosted
the local editor , told him ho had como to
bo one of his locals , and said ho would
like to wnto up a dog-fight which ho had
'seen ' on the wayj from the depot. Tno
'local ' editor"ropliod that it. was not usual
'to ' report dog-lights , bnt that ho might
try. Ho did so , und the article was copied
( from Dan to Beorsheba. He wrote othoi
i local articles , and they were also widely
[ copied. The police court sconea-in which
jBijah occurs BO conspicuously were written -
ton by Lewis , and their picturesque reali
ty is known everywhere. Bijah actually
exists , aii'J ho ia the curious character
which Lewis has so well described. He
wrote so many other humorous sketches
that ho became thu leading feature of the
papor. Among other excellent work
that ho has dpno are the lott-eta ip has
writtendescribing touthern battle-Holds.
Ho nor/ makes a line salary , and could
uot employment on any paper in the
United States. He can write nn descrip
tive articles , and is by no moana confined
to tli t humorous vein bjj whido , ho is best
known.
