WABIIINOTCW , Ucc. 17. [ Special to TUB
DEI : . ] Three members or the United StiUcs
Bcnnto trill have no rest during tbo Christ
mas holidays. These three are Senators In-
Bnlls of Kansas , Hlnlr of Now Hampshire ,
anil Penrco of North Unkotn. All are candi
dates for rc-clcctlon and tlio IcRlslatures of
these 8tin.es pass upon their return in Janu
ary. Senator IiiRalls says ho is confident of
his ro-elcctlon , but ho will glvo no interview
lot publication concornlnp It. Tlio trouble Is
Ingnlls cntinot talk \\lthout snylng some
thing , and his words arc always distorted by
hU enemies. Ho gave an interview lust
spring to the New York World in which ho
said , "Tho publication of politics Is on Irrld-
'csicnt ' droiitn. " Ho meant merely to stnto a
fa'ct , but his enemies claimed that ho believed
In Impure politics and that ho was brazen
cnoiiKli to acknowledge It. Some of the min
isters preached from their pulpits about this
Interview , and the senator received some
thing llko seven hundred letters concernin ?
it. There Is a > mcral dcslro here that Inpnlls
may return. The senate has llttlo enough
brains as It Is , nnd when it gets a genius like
Ingalls It cntinot afford to lese him. Senator
Sanders calls tilm the lurid meteor of the
senatorial sky , but ho Is moro tban a meteor.
Helm * boon for the post eighteen years the
fixed star of the republican sldo of the cham
ber , nnd ho h.is salu moro good things and
moro sharp things during that tlmo than any
ether two men in that body. Ho has been
ono of the students of the senate , and ho Is as
well equipped for his duties as any other man
in the body. His ho.id works like n , steam en
gine run by perpetual motion , and It Is the
lliST 11)E1'ACTOUV IN WASHINGTON' .
Ingnlls docs a good deal of work which
never appears over his own signature. Ho
gives many a newspaper man Ideas for letters
and editorials , nnd the gems which drop
from his vitriolic tongue are only a few of
the thousands of his expressions which find
their way Into type.
Senator Blair tells mo that the newspapers
cannot afford to lese him cither. Said ho
yesterday :
| "What will the Now York Times do when
I am gonol It has devoted half of its editorial
1
ial space for years to denouncing mo nnd to
making fun of me. What will the Sun do !
\Vhat will all the Now York papers do , nnd
what will the other papers of the country do
If I disappear ? I think , however , I am going
to bo ro-clcctod. My opponents say that I
have had two terms already and am n third
term candidate. I have not had two full
terms , imcl iUecms to mo that if a man has
had two terms it fits him all the better for a
third terra. "
"By ttio way , senator , " I asked , "how
about your LIU which was Introduced when
you llrst came to congress to make tno head
waters of the Mississippi flow Into Baflln's
hay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence ) I mean
the bill which your enemies said was entitled
A.nDiur. ) to compel water to How up ,
hill ? ' "
"I hnvo never told the story of that bill , "
replied Senator Blair. "I have boon lautrhcd
at unmercifully In regard to it and have been
slandered concerning it from Dan to Bershc-
ha. It happened at the close of my first ses-
Etou in congicss. Just at the last moment
for the Introduction of bills I received a let
ter from a manufacturer of New
Hampshire asking mo to present
to the ECiinto the petition enclosed.
There was only n moment to got the
thing in. I looked at It and it seemed to bo
in proper form , and without thinking I sent
it up to the dork's desk. Well , I heard from
It from all over the United States. The man
who bad sent the petition had noted la good
faith , nnd rather than denounce him 1 lot the
matter stand and made no explanation. I
know that I was not a fool , oven if some of
the papers did call mo ono , and the poor fel
low who sent the petition felt so hurt at the
trouble ho had gotten mo into that ho wrote
to mo again and npain about It , and offered to
do anything ho could to remedy the ovll. His
petition asked for a survey of the land be
tween the head waters of the Mississippi nnd
these of the Canadian rivers with the view
of the construction of a canal bringing the
two together. Ho had also a schema to make
Hudson's bay n great inland thermal son ,
into which the gulf stream should llow , and
thereby , ai hoclaimed , should equalize the
climate of the continent.
' 'As to my election , however , " concluded
the senator , "I am wasting no sleep , my
digestion is perfect , I am la prime physical
condition and I don't ' think I will lese flesh ,
whether the ballot goes one way or the
othor. "

t. Wo are going through a period of wonderful -
ful literary activity , and moro literary Invention -
tion uro copyrighted every year than mo-
chanlcal inventions are patented. During
1880 moro than thirty-eight thousand copy-
righUhavo been issued , and this Is about
two , thousand moro than were taken out
during the same period of last year. In ad
dition to this thrro are a number of applica
tions for copyrights which are rejected , nnd
copyrights are -taken out on photographs ,
engravings' , drawings and paintings , us well
as upon hooks. The rejected articles during
thu past yeof hnvo been chiefly for railroad
tickets , coupons , and mechanical drawings ,
not connected with the publication of a
book. A great number of copyrights nro
taken out for newspaper articles , and the
newspapers copyright their cablegrams from
Kuropo.
Speaking of cable copyilghts , I hoard a
Curious story last night us to how Oovornor
311pm of Colorado had to pay about
KOO for ono of the ilrst cables that
wont over tbo ocean. Gllpln was a good-
natural sort of a fellow , and the probability
is that ho came into the telegraph Qfllco o'f
Denver and wrote out the cable never think
ing it would bo sent. It was sent , however ,
mid ho had to pay the bill , The story was
told ino by Mr. Hosowater , the editor of TUB
OMAIU IIurwho in lbW ( was the maimcorof
\VcstcrnUnlonllncaatOinaha. . Said ho :
"Tho llrst Atlautlo cable was completed la
1858. mid it was alleged that a dispatch was
received by President Huchnnun from Queen
Victoria over it. This dispatch , however , was
about all that ever came over it. There was
skepticism throughout the United States as
to whether the dispatch over got through ,
nnd It was eight years after this before any
cable business was done. The successful
cable wus the new lluo completed on August
8 , ISHl. At this tlmo no ono scemec
to think the cable would work. The
Western Union had sent a corps
of oturators and explorers to Alusuu
to build a line across Bohrlng straits to Uus-
sln , and when it was announced that the now
cable was done and that any one wishing to
send dispatches to Europe
ron (10 A. wonn
could do so , the wnolo woild laughed and the
telegraph operators looked upon it as a gl-
gantio Joko. It was nt this turn ) that i ro-
rcivod a dispatch from Di-nvcr , Colo. , algncd
by tlio governor of the territory to bo for
warded on to Now Vork and addressed to
Paris. The dispatch had to bo scut fiou
Now York to ZS'owfouudland by steamer and
was there cabled. The dispatch roads

"When 1 received tlio message , " continued
Mr. JiooewaUir. ' ! looked upon It ai an expensive
pensive Jokti of Air. Ullpln's and I forwnrdoi
U on to Now York. The message came to mo
about - o'clock , and about 11 received a mes-
y\ \
sago from New York stating that the tirlco of
ttio cublo win $147 In gold. 1 sent this mc3-
sago on to Denver , hut the onorntor tlicro ro-
'usnd to bcllovo Unit the m asuRO ImJ been
sent , And upon my telling him that ho liwl
licttur stop It , he said I cotlln't scnro him ,
nnil let It go. The result \vns that it was
sent to Newfoundland and toloKrnphcd , nnd
.hough I huvo never heard tli.it Napoleon III.
answered it. I Imvo no doubt hut thntho re
ceived It. About six months later the treas
urer of the company , Mr. O. II. Palmer , wrote
no telling tno do thought I ought
to divide the expense of the message with U
P. Woodward , the manager of the Denver
) flloo , and that inasmuch na botli of us had
: iad our llttlo Joke , wo should cadi pay
our llttlo bills. I stntcd the case us I huvo
given It to you , and the Denver ofllco hud to
[ uytlio whole. Whether Oovcrnoi Clilpln
[ mid It or not I do not , ] < no\v. I nsnod hltn
about It one tlmo nnd ho seemed bored and
WAS viniY HUTICHNT.
My idea Is that ho cnmo into the ofllco and
upon being told that the cublo was completed
nnd dashed off this mossngu nnd nnnded It
ever , never supposing that It world bo sent.
The probability Is that when ho found It
was sent ho paid the bill. "
Editor Koiowator onoof the most ro-
rnnrkublo telegraph operators In the country.
Ho was In the south lit the tlmo the war
broke out nnd was afterward employed hero
nt the war department under Uc'ncral Tom
Kckort. While In the south ho reported ono
af Jcffomon Davis" speeches which ho do-
llrcrcd nt Stephenson , Ala. , whllo hu was on
ills way to bo Inaugurated president of the
southern confederacy. In this speecli Davis
sot the country on tire hy saying that ho In
tended to carry the war into the north.
Davis necuscd Mr. Hosowntcr of being n
northern spy In referring to it. Ho also re
ported n speech of IIouL'll Coht's which wis
made the ntyht after President Lincoln was
Inaugurated , lit which Cobb suld : "If our
wives and daughters cannot whip the
Yankees with broomsticks I want this gen
eration discontinued. " At the tlmo that the
war was ever Mr. Kosoivntor made an odor
to the Brazilian government to erect tolo-
gruph lines and a system of cables
for their empire. Baron Lisbon.who was then
the minister of Hruzil nt Washington , sub
mitted his proposition , hut the reply was that
there were only live miles of railway In Bra
zil , and these ran from the city of Ulo Janeiro
to Dora Pedro's palace and the country
HAD NO USB FOIt TKI.CqilU'HS.
Two years after that tlmo Brazil had n war
with Paraguay and it had to Import cable and
telegraohlcmateilal from Kuropj at an im
mense expense , and to construct lines under
the greatest of disadvantages. There arc now
about two thousand miles of telegraph lines
In Brazil nnd there are nearly two hundred
telegraph ofllces. It cost the country moro
than a million dollars to build thcso Hues ,
nnd tbo government might liavo saved a for
tune if it hud tnken Uosowater's offer , which
was to buldtho ) , lines and oversee the whole
for a salary of Si.500 a year in gold.
I met John T. C.iine. the Mormon delegate
to congress , and Mr. S F. Hluhnrds , who Is
the priuclpel lawyer of the Mormon church ,
last night. Mr. Klchards has just made an
argument before the supreme court , in which
ho told the Judges that polygamy was so dead
Unit it could never bo resuscitated , and both
there has not occn n polygamous marriage in
Utah for moro than two years. It is contrary
to the rule of the church from now on and
the people nro well satisfied with the change.
For myself , I think it has Improved the condi
tion of the territory , and I think it will bo to
our interest in business nnd other ways. It
will rmlca the territory moro deslrablo to Im
migrants , and It certainly ought to removoall
objections that the people of the United
States have to tbo Mormon church. "
"Will Utah apply again for statehood ) " I
asked.
"No , it will not , " emphatically answered
tbo Hon. John T. Calno. "When the demo
cratic party was m power wo held a conven
tion , announced our'Intention of abiding by
the laws of the laud , passed n constitution
which provided that polygamy should bo
done away withand hedged ourselves around
with suuu provisions that It was impossible
for us to continue In polygamy or to act oth
erwise than In perfect accord with the prin
ciples and government of the United States.
I went to President Cleveland about It. Ho
assented to every thing , and said tnat wo had
done everything that could bo done , but con
gress would not admit us. The Into Sam Cox
said that in the adoption of such a measure
the Rlormon church would bo
Till ! Fl.Y IN THIS OIXTMKNT
of the Oeniocr ntlo party. I spoke to the other
democrats regarding this later on , and sug
gested to them that they have now neither
the fly nor the ointment. Utah will never
ask for statehood again without tbo United
States gives a decided Intimation that tlioy
dcslro to receive it Into the union. As to
population have more than three times sis
many people as the census gives to the new
state of Wyoming. Wo have more citizens
In Salt Lake City than there are people in
Nevada , and wo can show the best record us
to financial Integrity nnd average good mor
ality that you will llnd in the country. Wo
have never had a thing from the government ,
and our territorial debt Is only $500,000. Wo
have had neither govern men t buildings nor
covernment appreciations , and wo arc the
only part of the United States which bears
Us fair shaie of the taxes and gets only kicks
and cuffs for its pains. "
Uuproscntutivc Wilson of the state of
Wasiilngton tells mo that Senator Smdro has
remained at homo to attend to his senatorial
fences , and that the race is between him and
ex-CoiigressinanJalkins ( who cutsuchn prom
inent llguro some years ago as onoof the
the members from -Indiana. Calkins lives at
Tacoma and Squire is ono of tbo big men of
Seattle. Both are strong moil and both are
much alike in physical respects. Both are
tall , big-boned and strong limbed and tlio
complexion of each is as rosy as that of n six
teen-year-old Irish maiden. Both men are
pugnacious , and It only needs a good oppo
nent to make Calkins a great pollf.ulan. It
was his natural pugnacity that brought him
Into public life. Sixteen years ago he was
was making about § 20,000 a year us an Indi
ana lawyer. Two corporations gave him n
salary of * J,000 to act as their counsel , ami
his practice outside of this amounted to abo.it
&i,000. Ho was satisfied with the law and ho
dul not want to go Into politics. But ono day
no picked up a county paper In which lie was
boomed for the nomination on the ground that
bo was tbo only mnu who could carry the dis
trict. Tha compliment tickled htm and ho
wrote to the editor and thanked him but said
ho could not think of being a candidate. Ho
had scaled the letter and was patting himself
on the back for being a great mini as ho
glanced ever another paper. The editor of this
stutcd ; that Calkins was a very good
man , and with , a little patlonco and consider
able study , ho might sometime bo lit for u
congressional candidate. At present , how
ever , hu was
ISMIIIKLT TOO I'llKSII
In his efforts to got the nomination , and that
ho could not bo elected if ho was nominated. "
"This notice , " said Governor Calkins , In toll
ing the above story , "mado mo as nngry
as the other notlco had pleased , nnd I
decided to show that editor that I could got
tlio nomination if I wanted It. I wrote n
different letter to my editorial friend , and
wont Into the campaign. I w.is nominated
and defeated , but I got another nomination
later on , and this time I was elected. " It
scorns now that Governor Culhliis has grown
tired of private life , and that ho wants to bo
In politics.
1 found Senator Teller at homo last night.
Ho Is not a whit grayer than when ho was In
the Interior department under President
Arthur. Ho 1ms been ro-olectcd to the sen
ate , and has come back with the determina
tion to pasj a froa coinage silver bill. Said
ho , "I hnvo no doubt but that such a bill will
pass this session or next , and it would put
silver up to UM. It would give us plenty ol
money for the btislmns of the country , ani
It would make times easier and tha country
more prosperous. I told the president last
Juno that ttio silver bill was the most Impor
tant matter before- congress , nnd that the
pussago of some such bill was our only hope
of salvation. I told him then , though no
didn't believe It , that thopeoplo were dlssnt
Isllod , and If there could bo an election hold
then , there would Do a hundred democratic
majority in thohousu , and if something was
not done , the majority would beat least ono-
thinl larger. Senators Fryo and Dawos
were present at the tlmo. They were akcnti
cal , and President Harrison's fuco bore an
Incredulous smile. The result shown that :
was light , though I am neither a prophet no
the son of a prophet. "

In solemn nnd majestic round.
The red fox of the.se deserts deep
At lost is run to ground.
Oh. It was wierJ Hint -wild , pont horde 1
Their death-lights , their death-walls , each

And boomed like sorao greuVfuneral gun.

And waited for tha sun.

Or where red stars began 1
And then the far , wild walls that came
In tremulojs and pitying flight
From star-lit peak ind peak of llamol
Wails that had los' . their way that night
And knocked at each heart's door to claim
Protection in their flight.

Melodious pity ono by ono

Sad requiem for his braves undone ,
The while each ranger nursed tils sword ,

IIlBtory of the Largest Kducntinnal
Institnt'un in N'cbrnslcn.
Ntonntui , Neb. , Dec. 20. [ Special to Tins
BUE. ] The Santee normal training school Is
the llrst practical industrial and educational
institution over attempted among Indians.
Its foundation is Christian. Its founder's
father was ono of the two flr.st protestant
missionaries among the Minnesota Sioux in
1834-7. The founder , Dr. Alfred Longloy
Ulsg , D.D. , was born among them.
Twenty .roars before Longfellow's "Hia
watha" had been inspired , Hev. Thomas S.
Williamson and Ilov. Stephen U. Higgs , two
Presbyterian missionaries , established the
Dakota mission in Miunc' * ta anjonc the very
peonlo , of whom the poet sang. These Da
kota , or San tee Sioux , were then wilder than
any Indians now in existence. A inong these
Indians ilfty years ago a book was a marvel
ous thing. It was a "wo-wa-pe. " A "wo-
wa-po" consisted heretofore of rudopaititlngs
or hieroglyphics. Thotiguroa of men and
horses , of brutlo axes and sculps , drawn with
coal or cut In bark , told the story of n war
party. Kudo pictures of pipes and horses'
feet , with other such Uleroiily-
pblcs , told a man's history. Butte
to thcso two faithful missionaries , ninicl
the privations and discouragements of
these early days , wo owe thu written lan
guage of the bioux , which existed only in
sounds. Thev began by ninklnp letters In
the ashes with a stick , and then transferring
them to the wall until progress was made in
printed books. At the rloso of thirty years'
patient work , they translated the Mow Testa
ment fram French into the languageof the
D.ikotns and It was printed In the now
language. This nowinngutigo In types and
iii book form was also 'i\vo-wa-po. "
In 1803 the terrible Minnesota massacre oc
curred , In which these Indians Jlgurod
largely. Tlioy were finally captured , some
of them hung , and others banished
to the wilds of Dakota , where , he-
coming dissatisfied , they were removed to the
present reservation in Knox county , llftoon
miles from hero , In 1807. Tnoy have proved
good citizens , having taken lands in severally
and the advuntago of their elective franchise.
Twenty years ago Kov. Alfred L. Hife'gs ,
D. D. , the eldest son of Dr. Stupheir II.
Klggs , established the Santee normal train
ing school at Sunteo agency. It was the
fruit of the early work of his father and his
coworkcr. The work was begun in n small
way. The advancement of Indian education
has been slow. In the midst of western civ
ilization nnd Indian * , however , It furnishes a
soinl-cultlvntcd atmosphere that places the
pupil beyond his own primitive mo but not
too far removed from it to lese confluence in
his resources. The purpose of this institu
tion was to ralso up teachers , preachers , In
terpreters and business men for the Sioux
nation. Industrial education has been one of
the prime objects. Other than the Sioux In
dian youth have been brought hero until all
tribes from tlio Minnesota line to the Kouky
mountains nro represented , Iho attendance
averaging 2 < X ) .
From a Itttlo log building , where the young
missionary with his cultured Connecticut
wlfo and llttlo children underwent the hard
ships and privations of such surround
ings , ho has after twenty years of hard
vork. established an institution larger than
any educational institution In Nebraska.
Had ho put hU tlmo Into au Institution from
which ho could have taken the prollts , ho
would have been a rich man. Hut ho has
nlmod to build a monument to those good
fathers who llrst wrote the language In thu
sands , not for personal gain ; but that the
Indian might rlso abovohls natural condition
und walk bcdido Ids white brother.
