of Birmingham 1 heard one negro
say to another that he would not
enter a certain theater for tho reason
that oneor the menconnccted with It
had expressed himself as being un-
friendly to tho raco. Whereupon the
other negro said that ho stood on Mi"
same platform. Ho added that for the

position to the advancement or tho

In the shops mid olllces politic as
related to today's conventions is the
only subject of discussion. Ill the
war of words the unine of Hearst is
oftenest heard and nlwityt coupled
with expressions of deepest detesta-
tion or niost fervent approbation.
Faint praise does not fnll to the lot
of the Independence League leader.
He Is either praised or damned a
saint or an angel nccordlug to the
political views of the speaker. No
more spectacular figure has over ap-
peared. In New York politics than
Hearst nnd If he falls of endorsement
at the Democratic convention It will
' bo a glorious failure that will carry
thousands of Democrats Into the In-
j dopeiidence League ranks. If the
Ryan-Belmont machine secures abso-

averted only by the Indorsement of
Hearst and this tho machine will not
allow if It can possibly bo prevented.
Leaving Hearst out of the ques-
tion the Democratic nomination for

authorities there are In rotistttnt fear
of very acrlous trouble with the 700

there several weeks ago.
Fur six weoku the redskins have
been living iu tepees along Mi river
and htubboruly refuse to go uway
despite the elTorts that have boon
made to Induce them to return to
their reservation In Idaho.
Not only do they refuse to go away
hut they are- sending1 word back to
their brothers at the U'hlto Rotfc
agency. In Id'iho. that they aio hav-
ing tt royal time In Wyoming and
uiglng them to Join them. It Is re-
ported that many of them ate prepar-
ing to accept this Invitation.
When they came east to Wyoming
the Indians were well supplied with
hlsiikels ami other necessities hut
they have sold and traded until now
hey have practically nothing left but
firearms and ammunition. The situa-
tion has become extremely critical
The lc.icl-n are scourllng the hills
for nntolopc nnd other game and In-
cidentally are killing stock belonging
to the ranchmen.
Since their money Ik nearly all gone
It Is believed that within n few day
the ITtes will begin nit open slaughter
of cattle and sheep and If they do
then there will be trouble nnd doubt-
less a good deal of bloodshed.
