Some erect edifices of wood, but the majority choose those made of nature’s brick, as being better suited, both as to the means and comfort of the new settlers. Great interest is felt here in the meas ure now before Congress, for the removal of the Ute Indians by purchase of their reserve, the Indians being willing to sell the whole tract. This will open a mag nificent area to settlement and develop ment. And Nebraska shows that she is worthy of such addition to her domain and can fill it. There are over 1200 miles of railroad completed and in run ning order in the State of Nebraska, and before the end of the year, double that amount will be completed. Is there any other Slate in the union that can show more enterprise in this direction. Coj. J. H. Nateware, the State Super intendent of Immigration, in a recent re port stales that the increase to our popjf? lation during a period of fourteen months, was 40,000. Prom indications recog nized by his office, he predicts that the next annual increase will be at least i5,- 000 In the agriculturt 1 reports for Not ear her and December, the following occurs under the head of crops. We find that our State stands seventh as a corn producing State, and the highest only excels our average bushels per acre, being In wheat she ranks as sixth, the highest being Minnesota 18.7 bushels; Nebraska 21 5 bushels, on rye we rank Cali fornia first 29.1; 27.5. Oats, Nebraska beads the list, 40 bnshels per acre, the next highest is California at 35.5. Barley is also produced here litf greatest quantity, our yield being while the next is Wisconsin 28 6. Buckwheat also attests our fertile soil and fruitful climate, Nebraska beads, the list 27 busbels per acre, Maine fol lowing with 25 5. The yield of potatoes puts us fourth on the list, with 120 bushels per acre, the highest is lowa with 133, our rich native grasses puts us third ion the list for hay, of which we cut 1.40 tons per acre, California leading 1.44. SwCet things in our sweet rich soil, are ahead of any other State. Sorghum molasses flows here at the rate of 141 gallons -per acre/ while the next is Wisconsia.al. 113. By taking the average yield .per acre of corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat and potatoes, we find that Nebraska excels any State in the union, heading the list with an average yield per acre of 42% bushels, the second is lowa, with 42 busbels, California being third with busbels. These figures show that during the past year our State has beaded the list as a producer, of course not on all beads, but on seven of the most impor tant, those of corn, wheat, rye, oats, bar ley, backwheat, and potatoes. Now; we are not satisfied "with this yet, and can do 1 better; Let us have honest rivalry In this and fifty yards from his house, or camp 7 , and was shot five times. The girl who was taken captive is about tea years old* The fate that awaits her may be easily im agined by any who understand the Indian character. Theae Indians were supposed at first to be only on a horse stealing expedition, and would only kill as they were interfer ed with, or as it would be necessary in or der to obtain the horses they were alter, but it now appears they murder when ever they come upon.their victims Una wares or have the advantage. They have horses and mules and car. ried them cff. Some few are recovered, but generally .they are such as they run down and have to abandon. These horses, are taken over ; the,Rio Grande into Mexi co, and sold; or traded to the Mexicans, who are ever ready to receive all they can bring, knowing full well from whence they are obtained. Three weeks ago two men were murdered near Quihi, about thirty miles south from, and not far from Castrouille. and Eagle* Pass stage road- The fact is the citizens are left to defend themselves, and small bands are nut on the scout most of the time, but in thus seeking to capture or kill the thieves and murderers they often have to leave their' wives and little ones without protection, unless, indeed,:thny may 'go to a neigh bor’s house, leaving their houses and stock to fall into the hands of the savages should they make a raid. The Indians, as far as can be ascertain ed, are raiding around in bands of from ton to fifteen, yet how many there are al together engaged in this work is, of course, enough to attack and destroy towns no larger than this, and stuttered as this and others here over considerable territory. They have passed within a mile and a half of here. They are bn the war path, painted and pre pared for slaughter and robbery. They are armed, many of them, with the '♦Winchester” repeating rifle, and with carbines and revolvers. They use their arrows whenever they can effectively, so as not to alarm the neighbors. It is sup posed by many that they are Kickapoos from off their reservation, who have ob tained from the Commissioners the privi lege of “hunting for a few weeks” and thus they do it, in raiding Into the settle ments and murdering men, women and children, and in taking the girls captive; This frontier country doubtless would have Cumbered a dozen inhabitants to every one that it now has if the govern ment would give adequate protection; or allow the citizens the privilege of organ izing companies and regiments of rangers under their own officers; but this rs not allowed, as officers .of the regular army musv lead them, and fight according-to .the. rules of warfare among civilized nations.^ ions of one of the great powers of the earth, enabling us to take a kind of inventory or retrospect of the work of the past cen tury. And here let me ask, what place in all the vast empire of States could be more appropriate for such a purpose than the city of Philadelphia? Certainly none other could be named, and it is quite nat ural that Congress and our sister States should cordially and promptly acquiesce, as they have done, in the choice of the birth-place of American Independence. Here it was, in the then embryo city, but now so grand and imposing, that were uttered the first ominous words of warn ing to the King. Here it was that to the colonies and to the world were first pro claimed in detail, and with astonishing unanimity and power, the cruel and con tinued wrongs imposed upon our ances tors. Here it was, in the most solemn and important convention ever assempled, that the rights of man, of nations and of peoples were proclaimed, and the deter mination avowed to be free or perish in the attempt. From this place the colo nies were summoned to the, long and bloody struggle with a superior power, which was maintained with such unex ampled heroism and such unparalleled suf fering during the long years of strife. Here it was that the national compact was fdrmed and that Constitution adopted under which we have grown with such unexampled progress into a vast entire of free and independent States. As a State, wje are honored; and a just and commendable feeling has convinced every philanthropic and patriotic citizen that in aiding in every possible way to make this Celebration the great event of the age, he is not only honoring himself but exhibiting a grateful appreciation of the wisdom of our patriot fathers, and a proper regard for his privileges as & citizen. Who will not stand almost in awe and amazement when, as a Pennsylvanian, he comes to reflect in sneb presence on the work, the achievements in almost every point of view in this grand old State, once called the Blyjd Giant, because slow to see or incredulous as to her natural wealth, and her power over her sister States from her geographical position? Here will be presented and recounted the improvement of her lands, the increased value of her agricultural products in de cades, in itself wonderful. . Here will be exhibited the immense and incal culable wealth or value of her minerals, as they are unlocked from the rock ribbed bills and mountains within lier borders. In this, and also in respect to the oil pumped troin beneatfi the hills and valleys of our northwestern counties, she will; be withouta'rival. . “ ' * Here too we will,see as by a panoramic " i- % view what we have accomplished in this century in science, in art; hOW we are scarcely equaled in all the appliances for education, the developments and cultiva- 5 fcion of the minds of our youths; what tfceV work of our machinery has been, and bow • vast our manufacture of raw material; V s We can also take a deliberate retrospect of our lines of railroad, so extensive, so per manent and so well managed. Here we stand and look with great wonder. amaze> ment and deep gratitude over the past of the State, and with renewed energy and hope go forward, feeling that under the direction of Pro videncewe shall increase in wealth, population and. power. In a national view the interest ini this Centennial meeting enlargeeand increas es. All of the Slates andTerrltories will be represented by the presence of many - of their peopleand the products of the - same in every department. Here hun dreds of thousands of people will come from time to time, and the very associa tion and intermingling of the citizens of otie with those of another State will be beneficial in itseffects. Men and women will come from all the vast empire of i States and be glad of tbe opportunity, and join in loudest acclaim to that Supreme tyisdom and power that has made us sa prosperous and so happy. All the civile fj?ed nations of the earth will be fuliy represented here, bringing the results of their industry and varied occupations, and the evidence of their prosperity and the genius of their people. Let us then, my friends, labor as we can in harmony with those having especial chargejof this commendable work, to make it worthy of the State and nation. Daring bis remarks Mr. Lavrence was repeatedly applauded by the dapping of hands and other demonstrations of ap proval, The condusion of bis effort waa received with rounds of applause. Stale Senate of iliseouri has bill aqtfaorizing Jurors tosubsfcU.. tul9 *mi> r,s ‘""" 1 jiruntiyv —Some fifty representatives of the Liberal Rebublican party met in Concord, New Hampshire, to respond to the call from the committee, and nominated Samuel H. Mason for Governor, and Wil liam A. Head for Railroad Commissoner. Mason W. Tappan presided. —A movement has been started in Toledo, Ohio, and taken up in Baltimore and other places, to organize a political party in opposition to the concession of any privilege or advantage to Christiani ty, “or any other special religion.” —At a meeting of prominent Liberal Republicans and Democrats was held on the' 10th, which Governor Palmer, Hon. E. M. Haines and others addressed. The meeting was held for consultation, and it was decided to completely reor ganize the party. A committee of lead ing Senators and Representatives and others, of which Governor Palmer is chairman, 19 to prepare an address re affirming the Cincinnati platform, but absolutely in favor of an adjustment of the tariff to a revenue basis. The address will take strong ground against monopoly, particularly against railroad, aud de nounce corruption in every form. It is claimed that two hundred thousand farmers will support such an organiza tion. The meeting created a great deal of excitement, and a mass convention of all opposed to railroad extortion and monopoly is expected to be called at au early day. —The Harrisburg State Journal says ; Local Option is growing in force and po tency, in all parts of the State, and men are advocating it with a boldness which they do not evince in Urging ordinary measures of reform. The following from the Pottsville Journal is an evidence of this spirit: The friends of local option wage no war on liquor-sellers personally. Their con test is with the traffic and its concomitant evils. They can and do sympathize with the possible position, pecuniarially, in which liquor dealers will be placed if no license carries. Bat above that rises the conviction that private interest must give way to the general welfare. It is to empty tte jails and almshouses ; to.save the man now enslaved by intemperance; to dry the tears of the long-suffering woman weeps over a drunken husband or father, that the Local Option army is now mov ing forward. If it wins the day on the 2lst in Schuylkill county, of which we have great hope, the oaen who are now engaged in the liquor business can engage in other occupations more pleasant it not so profitable, for they can feel that they are not adding to the sum of human mis* eiy' by increasing, as their traffic now *ddds, crime, pdyerty and death. ‘ NUMBER 9 vr-C ■; ■ I < £ .i i •* ■ * . r
