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

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.

—At a meeting of prominent Liberal

Hon. E. M. Haines and others addressed.
The meeting was held for consultation,

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

of excitement, and a mass convention of
all opposed to railroad extortion and
monopoly is expected to be called at au

Local Option is growing in force and po

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. ‘
