Judge Hines makes a statement in re
ply to the administrator of the estate of
Mrs. Lawson which appears to relieve
him of any wrong-doing in connection
with the estate.
The Catholic Knights of Ohio in con
vention the other day decided not to ex
clude saloonkeepers, barkeepers and dis
tillers from the order. This is construed
to be a defiance to Bishop Watterson and
Mgr. Satoili.
Senator Patrick Walsh has good
grounds for an action against the Augusta
Chronicle. He is a candidate for re-elec
tion, and the Chronicle persists in print
ing something which it calls a picture of
him, and which makes the prospect of the
genial Georgian decidedly muggy.
The capture of young Meyers, who
killed Mr. Crowley in Atlanta, affords
the courts a splendid opportunity to re
> fute the assertion that a white man can
not be hanged in Georgia. The story
Meyers tells of the crime is very thin,
hut it may lead to the discovery that he
was not alone in his butchering.
The state papers continue to print let
ters from leading men in their communi
ties who have been acting w ith the popu
lists but are leaving that organization for
the democracy. During the next week
we expect to see a great many more let
ters of the same tenor. There are few
thinking men who will deliberately jump
into an error when their attention has
been called to it.
Since the supreme court of Georgia
was established the increase in the num
ber of persons who could litigate has
been 335 per cent. But there has been
no increase in the court of last resort that
supervises all of the litigation. During
the same period the number of railroad
corporations in Georgia has increased i)OU
per cent. But there has been no increase
in the court to which a large percentage
of the railroad cases go before they are
settled.
Mr. Debs insisted always that he did
not sanction violence on ihe part of the
railway strikers under him. To be sure
Mr. Tom Watson will counsel the ways
of peace among the political strikers
whom he bosses. There seems to be the
need for Mr. Watson to tell some of ttiose
who are following him that shooting
sheriffs and attempting to burn newspa
per offices will not make votes, but are
likely to get the perpetrators into se
rious trouble.
A Georgia populist editor, im
mensely impressed with the fact
that a free pass in the hands of
a public man is an unmitigated
evil, has sent his annual back to the com
pany that issued it to him, and taken the
deadhead advertisement of the road's
schedule out of his paper. The editor's
fine sense of propriety can be appreciated.
For, of course, the advertisement in his
paper didn’t represent to him so many
dollars and cents.
The sound money sentiment is growing
Stronger in Georgia every day. The dem
ocratic speakers are talking parity along
with free coinage, and about all that is
heard of the hat money fallacy comes
from the populists. At the opening of
the campaign there were certain folks
who thought it would be good policy to
make concessions to the populists on the
financial question. But they soon
changed their opinions when they ob
served how Mr. Turner was defended
when he was attacked for advocating a
sound dollar for the poor man.
The state election is barely more than
a week away, now, and tne time is at hand
fortberauk and file of the party to get
in the most effective work—that is, work
by individuals among individuals. The
stump spenkers are doing good work. But
they cannot do it all. There are hundreds
of voters who have heretofore been iden
tified with the populist party, who ai’e
almost persuaded of their mistake and
would return to the democracy if some
democratic neighbor would take the pains
to point out to them why the hope of the
masses is in the democratic ami not the
populist party, and invite them hack to
old associations. T hat is the character of
the work that should engage individual
democrats during the coming week.
Democrats Must Carry New York.
It is of the greatest importance that
| the Democratic party should carry Nevr
j York this fall. The loss of New York by
the democracy would have a discourag
ing effect upon the party throughout the
country. It has been a long time since
that state has had a republican governor.
The democratic leaders are well aware
that it will require hard and intelligent
work to carry the state. There Are dif
ferences in the democratic ranks that
must be healed, and the recent exposures
of the blackmailing practices of the po
lice in New York city are charged to
Tammany’s account. The differencesi be
tween the Cleveland and anti-Cleveland
democrats are in a fair way of being ad
justed, however, and the dismissal of po
lice captains indicate clearly Tammany's
purpose to get rid of corrupt officers I
within its organization.
Everything now points to harmonious
action. There must be harmonious action
if success is to be secured. The leaders
of the factions realise the folly of per
mitting personal likes and dislikes to in
fluence their action, and they are. there
fore, getting together and preparing for a
campaign that will bring to the polls
every available democratic voter
The state convention will meet next
week. There is as yet no clear indication
as to who will be nominated for governor.
Gov. Flower has announced that he is not
a candidate lor a renomination. While
he has a strong following he has made a
great many personal enemies since he has
been governor, and, therefore, he has
acted wisely. He could have a renomina
tion, in all probability, if he should ask
for it, but he will not do that. He is
anxious for the success of his party, and
will not stand in the way of its success.
There is an impression that Senator
Hill is seeking the nomination, believing
that if nominated aud elected he would
have an excellent chance for the presi
dential nomination of his party in 1896.
It would not be surprising if he should be
the nominee. He doesn’t like the Senate,
and he isn’t popular in that body. His
opposition to the income tax made him
friends among the rich people of New
York, and they would help him doubtless
if be should be a candidate. The fact
that he voted against the tariff bill, how
ever, might lose him votes, though his ex
cuse for doing that is that his aim was to
defeat the income tax, and not to defeat
tariff reform.
Senator Hill himself does not talk as if
he had any idea of being nominated for
governor. Ho thinks Judge Rufus W.
Peckbam, or Hod. John Boyd Thatcher,
should be the nominee. He says that who
ever is nominated will receive the hearty
support of all democrats of the state. He
thinks the fact that the result of the elec
tion will greatly affect the Democratic
party not only in the state but in the en
tire country, will bring out a big demo
cratic vote.
He. in common with other democratic
leaders, however, acknowledges that the
democrats will not have a walk over. In
order to win a victory, every democrat
must lend a helping hand.
A Few Facts for Populists.
The populists orators are telling the
farmers aud railroad employes that gov
ernment ownership of the railroads would
be a good thing for them. Why would it
be a good thing for them ? Would the
farmers get freight and passenger trans
portation at lower rates? Would the
railroad employes get higher wages?
Why do not the populist orators and
newspapers answer such questions as the
foregoing? The reason is probably’ that
if they should answer them, and answer
them truthfully, there are few populists
who would favor the government owner
ship of railroads.
In accordance with a resolution intro
duced by Senator Pettigrew, and adopted
by the Senate, the interstate commerce
commission has made a statement show
ing tho countries in which the railroads
are owned by the government, and making
comparison of the rates charged by those
roads with the rates charged by the
roads in this country. The substance of
the statement is as follows:
(Ten countries do not own or operate
railways, viz.; Colombia. Great Britain
and Ireland, Mexico, Paraguny, Peru,
Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United
States and Uruguay.
The following governments own and op
erate some of the railways, viz: Argen
tina, Australasia, Austria-Hungary. Bel
gium. Bra.il, Canada, Cape of Good
tlope. Chile. Denmark, France, Germany,
Guatemala, India. Japan, Norway. Port
ugal, Russia and Sweden—lß.
The following governments own and op
erate practically all their railways, viz:
Egypt and Nicaragua—2.
Che lollowing governments own part 6f
their railwavs, but do not operate any,
leasing ali the present mileage to private
companies, viz: Greece, Holland and
Italy—B.
The relative rates charged for freight
and passenger service on tho government
owned railroads aud the other facts cited
in connection with such roads are calcu
lated to afford little eucouragement to the
advocates of government ownership. A
comparison of passenger charges per milo
shows an average in Great Britain of 4.43
cents for first class, 8.20 for second class
and 1.94 for third class. In France the
a,erageis 8.85 cents for first class. 2.86
for second class and 2.08 cents for third
class. In Germany the rate is B.locents
first class, 2.82 cents second class and 1.54
cents third class. In the United States
the average charge is 2.12 cents.
The average charges per ton per mile
are as follows: in Groat Britain, 2.5()
cents: iu France, 2.80 cents; in Germany,
1.64 cents, and in the United State, 1 cent.
The foregoing shows that railroad
travel is cheaper in the United Stntfcs
than in any other country, and that farm
ers and others have their produce carried
to market at less than half the rate that;
farmers and others have to pay in Eng
land and France, and at very nearly half
the rate that is paid in Germany.
No statement relative to Wages paid
railroad employes is furnished, hut it is a
notorious fact that wages in European
countries are far below the wages paid
in this country.
In the face of these facts what argu
ments have the populists to offer in sup
port of their demand for the government
ownership of railroads?
Ihere has been talk of moving the his
toric Clay statue, in New Orleans, in or
der to make way for a street railway.
The statue for years nas been tho meet
ing place for tho people on occasions of
note. Hundreds of political gatherings
have been held there, and it was at the
Clay statue that assembled tne citizens
who wiped out the Mafia some years ago.
The Picayune announces, however, that
the statue will remain undisturbed. The
mayor's veto of the ordinance permitting
> its removal has beeu sustained.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 1894.
No Cause for Rejoicing.
Those democratic newspapers that ad
vocate the free coinage of silver are ex
pressing great joy because the democrats
of Ohio, at their state convention on
Wednesday, declared in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
, They interpret this action of the Ohio
democrats as an indication that the free
silver craze is spreading.
We do not see any cause for rejoicing.
It will Dot he denied that the Ohio demo
-1 crats have parted company with the
national Democratic party on the silver
question- and have adopted the silver
doctrine of the populists. Indeed it is
stated in the dispatches which the free
silver organs publish that those
democrats of the Ohio convention
who voted for free silver coinage
now think that the counties in which the
populists are strong will give democratic
majorities. The inference from this is
that the delegates to the Ohio convention
who insisted upon a declaration for free
silver coinage do not believe in the silver
doctrine of the populists, but committed
their party to it with the hope of winning
populist votes for the democratic ticket.
The populists do not care particularly
for free silver coinage. The action of their
representatives in congress shows they
do not. What the populists want is
fiat money. Their policy is to have the
government issue unlimited quantities of
paper paoney. They do not ob.ect to the
tree coinage of silver, because free coin
age of that metal at the ratio of 16 to 1 is
practically flat money.
The Ohio democrats will see their
mistake when the returns from the
election are received. The free
coinage of silver declaration of the
democrats will not cause a single populist
to vote the democratic ticket, but it will
cause a great many democrats to refuse
to vote the democratic ticket. The result
will be that the republicans will carry
Ohio by a very large majority.
It must not be understood that the
declaration of the Ohio convention for
the free silver coinage resolution was
unanimous. It was far from it.
The minority that opposed the dec
laration was very large, and
it was from those sections of the state
which cast the bulk of the democratic
vote.
In standing with the populists for Sat
money instead of with the national Demo
cratic party for honest money, the Ohio
democrats have done their party in Ohio
an almost incalculable amount of harm.
The end they aimed at they will not
achieve. A party that abandons its con
victions and attempts to strengthen itself
by acceptingthe views of the opposition on
any issue is certain to lose its hold upon
the people. When the votes are counted
in Ohio the Ohio democrats will realize
that in accepting the declaration of the
populists in respect to silver they com
mitted a stupendous political blunder.
Japan’s Success.
Japan will be putting on airs and de
manding to be regarded as one of the
great powers of the world pretty soon.
And there would be some excuse for her
doing so. Her successes in her war with
China have been surprising. Already
she has practically driven the Chinese
out of Korea, and the impression is that
she contemplates moving on the capital
of China with the view of dictating peace
upon her own terms. If this impression
is correct, and she should capture Chi
na's capital, the world would witness the
remarkable spectacle of an empire of
400,000.000 people yielding to a natron of
40,000,000.
Japan is conducting war upon scientific
principles. Her armies are equipped
with the most improved weapons and are
led by able officers, thoroughly trained in
all the arts of modern warfare. In fact
Japan is an “up to date” nation, and her
people are thoroughly in earnest. They
mean to win if winning is within the
bounds of possibility.
It will be a good thing for Korea if she
does win. Japan is progressive, and un
der her guidance Korea would enter upon
an era of progress and prosperity. Still,
it is hard to believe that such a powerful
people as the Chinese will permit them
selves to be defeated by the Japanese
without a far greater struggle than has
yet occurred. She may succeed in bring
ing together her jarring factions and
overwhelm the Japanese by mere force of
numbers. The struggle between the two
nations is becoming intensely interesting.
The Macon Telegraph is congratulating
itself and the state upon the prospect of
Maj. Bacon’s election to the Senate. We
take it that the congratulations are
premature. There is a possibility that
Maj. Bacon will be elected, but at this
date the prospects hardly go beyond that.
The date for the senatorial election is
stili a good ways off, long enough for
some very effective work to be dope by
and for the other gentlemen who are can
didates for the place. The representa
tives. who will vote for a senator, are
largely unpledged ; they are free to vote
for whomsoever they consider the best
man. And when they go to pick the best
man, they will look for a man who excels
his fellows in one or more particulars.
Does Maj. Bacon excel in any particular!
Is he the most consistent ana strongest
sound money man available? Is he the
ablest tariff reformer in sight! Is he the
mau with the most inliuence among pub
lic men who could be sent to the Senate?
If he is not, then he is hardly the man
the representatives will be looking for,
and they may search further and with
better sqpcess.
a. r ,
The prospects are that the vote in the
forthcoming election will be very large.
Many of the country newspapers are
urging merchants, milters, ginners, farm
ers and everybody else to suspend work
for the day and give their attention to
the election. A number of the papers an
nounce that the cotton gins in their
neighborhoods will shut down and that
the stores iu town and country will be
closed for at least a part of the day. in
order to give everybody a chance to vote.
If the movement grows to be geuoral
to the state, the democratic majority will
be all that Chairman Clay could wish.

CURRENT COMMENT.
And Bland Will Go Back.
From the St. Louts Republic (Dem.).
Dr. Hubbard of Morgan county, the republi
can nominee for congress tn Mr. Bland s dis
trict. cannot hope to receive even the usual
vo eof his paity. since he has not the pres
tige of agricultural iut -rests which h is char
acterized former republican nominees in that
district. He will be snowed under so deep

One Club That Would Kill McKinley,
ism.
From the New York World, (Dem i.
Mr. Frank Hurd was emphatically right
in saying, as he did in hts speech before the
Ohio democratic convention yesterday, that
"the addition of wool to-the free list makes
the law (the Wilson Mill one of the most im
portant statutes enacted since the war." The
World has long contended that free wool
alohe would bring about the downfa.l of
McKinleylsm. It will furnish an ooject lev
son the meaning of which no one can fail to
see.
The Further the Better.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem).
The defeat by Mr. Brice s friends of tho
proposition to allow the state convention next
year lo name a man for senator ri a be a
triumph for that gentleman, but It th a con
fession that ho Is afraid of the people and
does not care to trust his pollti al fortunes in
their hands. This is the case with most "con
servative' senators. T hey want to get as far
away from the people as possible. But sooner
or later thev must meet their people face to
face, and then they will find that it is one
thing to “fix" conventions and "manipulate"
legislatures, and another to triumph over the
people In a direct issue at the polls.
Ohio Democrats for Tariff Reform.
From the New York Herald (Ind.).
The. proceedings of the Ohio state demo
cratic convention amply demonstrate the de
sire of the people to press forward In the new
campaign for further aggressive tariff re
form Ohio democrats are not satisfied with
Senator Brice because his tariff reform does
not go far enough. 1 lie. senator was coolly
received and had to listen to some gaffing unit
tdinginz speeches agaist halfhearted tariff
reformers. Tnough the convention did not
see fit to disturb the liarmonv of the party uy
denunciation of Mr. Brice it made It very
clear that it does not approve his -coarse on
the tarill hill And It Is safe to sa\ that
alter passing through yes'erday s ordeal he
Alii not again he willing to antagonize his
party s wishes for full tariff reform It is
noteworthy that in the stats which lias been
the stronghold of McKinley and McKm.ey
"protectionism ’ no democratic proles is
heard uca.nst tree wool, tho corner alone of
the Wilson tariff. Democratic wool growers
In Ohio are evidently i,O going to follow th
example of the Louisiana sugar planters in
going ever to the republican camp.
A Kansas Editor’s Short Editorial.
Milt Murdock, editor of the Wichita iKaa)
Eagle, is one of the characters of that state,
say- the Chicago Herald. For many years
he has waved the bloody shirt all over the
state and at one time aspired to be governor.
Bis republicanism was. and is. of the moit
ultra type, in apoearance Murdock looks
like the great sotliern when that peerless
actor was made up for Lord Dundreary The
night of the election in 1-92 he was
in his office awaiting the returns. One
after another the doubtful states wheeled
into line for Cleveland. The foreman, who
was also the night editor of the r.agle. had
made frequent visits o the sanctum tqr the
leader which was to explain. Murdock
Pa ed the floor when he was not intercepted
w th a bulletin At midnight he read Illinois
has undoubtedly gone democratic.’’ The
editor mopped h.s brow with the back of his
hand. Well.' he said. I thought it would
be ciose, but I did think Harrison would yvin
there"
• Copy for leader ’ asked the foreman
again. v
All right But wait till we hear from
Ohio replied Murdock
' it's getting late. sir. and all the pages
ha\e gone down except the editorial, " gasped
the two-headed night editor.
■ Nuther bulletin,” shouted the telegraph
boy.
Murdock seized the yellow sheet or gauze.
As he read 1 he turned an ashen pallor.
"My God”' he gasped "Ohio in doubt l”
' Copy for Leader. Mr. Murdock," shouted
the ni_ht editor. It is 2a. m. Got to get
editorial page down in fifteen minutes or miss
the train"
• Wait a minute, 1 ' replied the editor of the
Eagle, and he sat down at his desk, holding
his head with his left band. and wrote in one
hurried flourish:
"Have we lit"
And'hatiding it to the night editor, he said.
“Top of first column, editorial page"
Then he took his coat from a peg, put it on
and said to a riend who had oeen waiting;

Under an Electrical Fan.
• Ever sleep under an electric fan'-'’ said a
citizen to the Courier Jourml man "No?”
Weil, I tried it the other night, and the next
morning I hud it taken out of my house. I
heard it was a great thing on hot nights, and,
as I could not sleep very well, I had one put
in my bedroom. You see. it was all very well
at the start. The cool breeze was delicious.
I had left the window open and the arms of
the fan seemed to catch a barrel of fresh air
at eacu revolution. I felt splendidly, for I
had been very hot before, and I tickled my
self at the prospect of a good, sound sleep.
But the whirr, whirr, humming noise of the
fan seemed to attract my attention persist
ently. 1 tried to count the arms of the fan,
and then turned out the light. Then the noise
seemed to increase. It was zoo-zoo-zoo—all
the time, and I could not seep. I actually
got hot thinking about that fan. It was zoo
zoo for hours, changing irregularly to whirr,
whirr, whirr—until at last I was almost cr„zv.
I don’t know how it happened, Dut
I must have dropped off to sleep,
for I had a uream. I thought
that I had c.imbed about a oig windmill and
had become fastened to the end of one of the
arms. It was olowing a gale and the arms of
the windmill were flying around at a territic
rate. As I went through the air the wind
seemed to cut me like a knife. It buzzed in
my ears and ran through my hair like a tor
nado through a forest. Finally, as I dreamed,
1 be, ame unfastened from the arm of the
windmill and the momentum I had received
threw me far out Into space. I dropped and
dropped and dropped. I tell you I was scared.
1 guess I gripped the pillow so tightly that it
woke me up, for I dia awaken just about the
time I was at out to drop around the earth
again. I had the pillow hugged and pinched,
and was perspiring like a colored laborer in a
harvest Held. I raised on my side and cursed
that fan like an insane man. ca.ling on it to
stop. Then I arose and shut off the electric
ity. The thing died out with a moau and I
dropped off to sleep in a minute. This was
about 2o'clock in the morning. No, sir: don't
give me any more electric fans to sleep un
der. It is as much as I can do to sleep with
out them.”
How They Drink in New Mexico.
The man from New Mexico and his Chicago
friend stood against the bar in one of the
palatial saloons of Chicago, says the Chicago
Herald. The dispenser put out four glasses.
"Where'syour beeswax?” asked the New
Me .vieo visitor.
"I am not on," responded the dispenser.
‘■Never tend bar in .\ew Mexico:'"
The dispenser said he never had the pleas
ure.
"Pleasure nothin'. ‘Tain’tno pleasure. I'm
tellin you. It s much as a mans life is worth.
But 1 see you don t savey about the beeswax.
Well, i ll tell you how they drink in New
Mexico. There's only one thing to drink—
that's whisky—liquor, see? The bartender
sets up one glass. He ain't got no whole lot
of glasses, like you. He just sets up
one nig glass. Then he takes out
his beeswax and he marks the glass for as
many drinks a- there are drinkers in the
party. Say there's three. He puts two bees
wax marks on the glass about so far apart .
Then he fills ihe glass himself with liquor to
the rim of the glass. The first man in the
| party drinks dovvn to the first I eeswax mart,
and then he passes the glass to the next man,
and he and. inks down to the second beeswax
inmk and the third man drinks to the bot
tom of the glass. It ainA safe for a man to go
beiow his oeeswax mark. A man in New
Mexico who and do that wouldn’t live long
enough to send his wife a dyin' request. A
New Mexico man might rob a stage coach,
but he wouldn’t drink below his beeswax
mark. Got any water?"
■ Oh. yes. Pleqty of water.”
“Well, set er up. And if there's anything
extry tor it. I'll pay the cost, hay—this is
the all firedest town i was ever in. The idea
of settin' up tour classes for two men to drink
outen. I reckon there ain't another town on
earth where such 'stravagance is seed.”
Town Lots in Omaha.
The laud speculators have scattered groups
of cottages for miles around upon the bluffs
and the plains, says an Omaha letter in the
Chicago Record. They are pretty and at
tractive, and are easily reached by the elec
trio cars, but an unsophisticated stranger
will wonder why the people didn’t first oc
cupy the aires that He nearer the city.
Omaha is the city of "magnificent distances”
instead of Washington.
They tell a story of a man who came into
town one day and wanted to trade his farm
for some city lots. “All right." replied the
real estate agent. "Get into my buggy and
I'll drive you out to see some of the finest
residence sites in the world—water, sewers,
paved streets, cement sidewalks, electric
light, shade trees and all that soit of thing’ "
—and away they drove four or five miles into
the country. The real estate agent expatiated
upon the beauty of the surroundings, the
value of the improvements made and pro
jected. theconven.enue of the location the
ease and speed with which people who lived
there could reach to vn. and the absolute
certainty of an active demand for such lots
in the immediate future. I'hen. whoc he was
breathless, he turned to his companion and
asked:
■ v\ here's your farm ?"
• We passed it coining out here.' was the
reply. • it's about two miles nearer town. ”

1 don t mean that. I don t object to a man
playing the best he knows how. hut I don t
like to seen man lad In love with his money.”
"I’te noticed that he would never lend
money in a game.”
"Yes. if he s losing he always says: I
can tdo It i m too much loser, and if he's
winning he says. No. sir; it always knocks
down my luck.' ”
That s tiguiing it down pretty close.”
"Close wh .. that's no name lor him. Why,
last night we hau played five hours and ho
wus *1,75 loser. My cigar went out and I
asked him for a light from his. He shook hts
head and said: ‘Uh, uh. Can’t do It. I'm too

Every once and a while, says the Forest
and Stream, a discussion arises over the use
of the definite article before the name of a
yacht, the omission of the article being often
derided by Americans as an affectation pe
culiar to Anglo-maniacs. In the report of a
race which we repuolish from the London
Times, it will be seen that the writer, we be
lieve Harry Horn, the leading English yacht
ing reporter, fo.lows no definite plan, but
speaks, in one place of "Vigilant,'’ and an
other of "the Vigilant." and the same lack of
system is seen in other English papers, the
article being employed in one line and omit
ted in the next. Looking at any vessel, much
more such a yacht as Gloriana. V igilant or
Btitannia. as something more than a mere
mass of lead and woo'd, a something far more
fully endowed than most other of mans cre
ations with life and individuality of her own,
we have always preferred to use the simple
name of the yacht, without the article or the
quotation marks, a tribute to the higher qual
ities of a yacht, which we believe she fullv
merits. There are some cases in which it
seems natural to apply the article before the
name of a working vessel, or even a steam
yacht, but certainly tne true sailing yacht is
entitled to this much recognition of her supe
riority to a dry dock or a scow.
The representation of the Indian which is
to figure on the new coat of arms of Massa
chusetts is giving the authorities in charge of
the work a good deal of trouble, says the
New York Post. The Indian, in order to pre
serve historical accuracy, must be of the tvpe
that was still to be found in Massachusetts in
17s0. An Algonquin is preferred, but as it
will be dimcult to find an Indian who is rep
resentative in face'and figure of that tri.e
an Leal drawing will be made from pictu-es
in the Catlin Gallery of the National Museum
at Washington. Col. William L. Olin, the
secretary of state, thinks that he has discov
ered in the gallery a face of the true Algon
quin type which will serve for the state sym
bol. but there are certain details of dress
and equipment which are iu dispute among
authorities on the subject, and these have to
be determined before the artist can proceed
with his work. Ought the Indian to wear
leggings 4 Mai. J. W. Powell of Washing
ton. an authority on the dress of Indians,
answers in the affirmative, while Maj, Whit
more of Boston holds tho contrary view.
Ought the Massachusetts Indian to be show n
bareheaded as on the present seal, or to wear
a head-dress of feathers? Maj. Powell says
he should be represented with three feathers
on the crown of the head, and this suggestion
will pro iablv be followed. Ought the red man
to have his hair braided, as seen in some In
dian prints:- The better opinion seems to be
that his raven locks should flow over his
shoulders. And finally the question of the
Indian's dress comes up. During the summer
he wore only a breech clout w hile in winter
he hau a bunting shirt, leggings, and mocca
sins Maj. Powell savs that the bunting-coat
was made of four skills of wildcats, or of two
skins of panthers or wolverines.
