THE FUNDING BILL.
Senator IMu'nih of Kansas is cred-
ited with having made the following
pithy remarks in reference to Ww
panic in Wall street:
"I am a national hank predden1
so I can speak without prejudice. I
tell von the crisis h:is come when we
shall see whether the hanks run th
government or the government lh
hanks. I think the government has
a right to fix the rate of interest it
will pay and it is no Uudnessof any
set of men. It makes no difference
to the people if Wall street jrain hie r.
do lose money or railroad stock's
stop rising. It ivouM makcadiU'er-
( nee if ihc hoes in the weMern corn
fields should stop and it is with the
producers that (he prosperity of the
country rests. Let the holiom fall
out of it if it will. It is an artificial
movement to coerce the govern-

EFFECT OF THE STORM.
Every .toini that has hecn visted
this se- tinn this year has been pro-
nounced by stock men as a little
wire sewre than the preceedin;
lie Wh I her this has been flu
Milt of imagination or it has
'eal'y !'ii the case we are not
I'-'p-'ed to say; but certain it
is t' at the rain and sleet storm
oi last week. vjtf the most seven
on sto'-k of all kinds ll at we have
-ad this season in fact tne oldest
inhabitants inform us that they
never saw such a storm in thiV
country before. The faces of our
merchants were long draw out
and many cattle men wou'd have
sold .out at a big discount. We
have taken particular pains to
learn what effect the storm has had
on stock of all kinds and we find
that the real loss will be nothing
like what was predicted but one
thing is evident the storm of sleet
jjimI rain has put cattle in such a
hnpe that another such will kill
hundreds of cattle in Barbour coun-
ty. It is useless to longer deny the
fet. IndAx.
During a shor- visit to wit neap the
operation of th Journal's new jinvss.
a few day since Thomas Rullein
reminded (he manairer of the Jour-
nal that it had been eighteen y. an
since the firm of Coates S: Uullcm
was established in this city. The
first firm was changed to RuhVne iv
pro. then to Rullcne IJro. t: Imji-
iry then to lUillenes Moores .r lmi-

last to Rullenes Moores iv

Rullene witiln his varwus partners
has eonstantlv advi rtised with the
Journal. The first contract eighteen
years ago cost $1")0 per column and
the same s)ace uowv costs .Jl.j20n.
One of the old fcatiires of Mr. jid-
1 lie's advertising was a solid col-
umn of Spanisli for the Santa Fe
aiad southwestern retiders. Mr. Rul-
lene closed his pleasant reminiseen-
cesof the years that have brought
him honor and riches bv saving
that ro money that he had ever in-
vcsti d had ever brought him greater
returns th.an thai monev which he
had expended in advertising. K. C

rilK TONKA WAS.
This week there was circulated
and indiscriminatelv signed bv all
who saw it a strong memorial to the
legislature asking relief for the
Tonkawa ImHiians who number oiae
hundred and fifteen all told camped
near Uncle Joe Matthews about six
miles fro in town. The petition sets
forth in ston terms the recognition
due thew Indians from the people
of Texas; their many sufferings and
privations for and on account of their
white brethren; of shedding their
.Jood in war for the whites ami how
llicy eivendeivd the haired of tin
other tribes by so doing how they
iiave been rcdu ed by exposure and
war and asks the legislature to pass
a law making an appropriation suffi-
cient to purchase not hss than UlKHi
acres of land for them and put them
on it under an agent to be appointed
bv the rovernor from anions the
citizen- of this country and the fur-
ther sum of not less than $10IHXJ to
fince in their lands (by wire) ; to
build comfortable quarters; for buy-
ing farming implements ; and to fur-
nish them with food and raiment for
the next two years and after which
time it is thou rht they will be self-
sustaining. This is a step which
should have been taken long ago
There is no tribe of Indians that
have as just claims upon the people
us the 'looks and they have received
less than all others. Jt is hoped that
the legislature will take hold of this
milliter promptly and relieve tliese
unfoTi unate creatures. Fort GriQin

THE ZUNI INDIANS.
'D. D. Graham a merchant and
trader from the town of Zuni. in the
western part of this Turntury is in
town and was found this vnorning
by a Journal reporter .at Stover it
Go's. Mr. Graham in (lie few mo-
ments he had to spare gave the re-
porter sune interesting items in re-
gard to the Zuni Indians who are
a .tribe separate and distinct from
iiny other tribe on the continent.
They live in pueblos all of which
tire built of adobes each building
consisting of several stories losing
one above the tot her like tcrraucs
each upper story covering less.'Sjpaco
than the one beneath it. Rut 'low -.ol
the houses have lo! and most of
hem are nten d 1 y hM( r n aching
from the gro&nul to the lop or roof
of the first -sVory a ladder being also
used for each succeeding elevation.
These people are a strange iuu eu-
riuus race taking one back in
thought to tlhe old days when the
Aztecs. and Toltecs ruled this coun-
try ; wiien the cliff dwellers inhabit-
ed the cliffs and canyons of western
New Mexico and wi'otethe strange
hieroglyphics tlwit uam be seem to
this day on what is called "Inscrip-
tion Rock" situated about ififty
miles south-west of Fort Wingate.
Although most of the Zuni Indians
have thciiopper colored complexion
tbiid straight black hair of the pueb-
los -of this valley there are some
who have light blue eyes flaxen hair
and clear white complexions. These
white Indians are looked upon with
disfavor 1y the rest of the tribe and
are forbidden to marry among them-
selves jiinl marriages between them
and the wther Indians are not en-
couraged. The Zumcs are genuine Sun wor-
shippers and one of their number
fills the office of biuh priest among
them. He is called Cacique and
lives in a house separate from the
others which is loiflccd upon as a
holy place into whirli no white man
is permitted to enter.. All alone in
this lmuse the Cacique rcinainsancl
there keeps a record of the changes
of the union and the progress of the
sun. By points marked upon the
wall or'on a dial of his own con-
struction he can tell when the sun
reaches its farthest northern and
soullrcrn points and also is alle to
count the months and preserve the
record of the years. A may we'll be
imagined this old Cacique is credit-
ed by this tribe with great wisdom
ami of course possesses much influ-
ence over them. These Indians are
vi ry superstitious and arc .continu-
ally performing their (lances of pray-
er to their god the sun. The tribe
now numbers about two thousand
and dwells in the valley of the Zuni
river where they cultivate the land
and raise good crops. Albiiquurrjc
