White SquaVvs--An Essay by RiIE
wilkins, "a Boy.

+ A squaw is an Ingin woman. She is
generally the wife of big Ingin man.
SIZE does all the hard work. She raises
corn, beans, potatoes, whiskey, babies,
and other vegetables for her Ingin. She
carries wood, makes the fire, cooks the
victuals and blacks his boots, while Ter
big Ingin sits in the parlor and reads his
newspapers, or leafs at grocery and
talks 'hoss' to other loafers. When he
comes home late at night, drunk, he
whips his squaw because supper is not
ready. A souaw works like horse and
gete a liekin' for her pains. But sup
pose she likes it; else why does she put
up with il?
But | know a good many squaws
among white people. They do all the
work at home, take in washing or sewing,
and support the family, including the bis
lngin, while he is busy drinking, or gam
bling, or fishing. The white squaws gem
orally have house full of young ones.A
And they soon learn to treat her as their
father treats her. She drudges in the
kitchen while her daughters gad about the
streets, or sit at the window and look at
the people. But the white squaw does
not want thCm to work. She wants
them TO be ladies. They don't 90 to
school, they don'tsswork. They have no
money, but they will dress well and
after awhile they will turn out something
else than ladies.
! L know suuaw whose husband is a
| gentleman. lie says he never did work
and never viii work. He has no money,
but be walks about the streets with q
cane and gloves. He says he can't get
into business. BY that he means getting
somebody to lend him the money TO live
on Now and then he borrows five dol,
lars of somebody who don't know him.
His wife takes in washing and does all
the work, She even saws the wood
She has two sons who are young men,
but they let her saw the wood. Che says
Johnny is studying so hard at his pros
fesslon that he has no time 10 help her.
But | think his only study is base ball
And she says Willie is weakly and never
could stand work it makes him wilt
right down. l would let him wilt
Johnny comes home and swears at her
because dinner is not ready. But she
says he is in such hurry 10 get back tC
his studies
There are many reasons for saying
there are white squaws as well as red
ones.
MIR. Printer, you need not be afraid to
print this, because no big Ingin will take

A SENSIBLE YoUNa MAN-The late
Col. Colt was himself a practical mes
chanic. BY his will he left his nephew
an immense fortune. At the time of his
death the nephew was learning his trade
of machinist in his unc.e's shop, working
diligently in his oyeralls by day, subject
to the same rules as the other apprentices,
On his uncle's death he became miIlicns
aire-but choosing guardian TO manage
his property, he continued at his labor
and served his apprenticeship. Now az
he walks the room of his fine house, or
drives his costly team, he has conscious
ness that if his riches take TO themselves
wings and fly away, he is furnished with
the means of getting an honest livelihood,
and may make fortune for himself =
He was greasy mechanic and IS not
ashamed of II again. Labor and its ac-
comanying dirt are not dishonorable, or
degrading-laziness and its almost neces-
sary evils are disgusting and destroying.
Dirty hands and a sense of independence
are TO be preferred tO KID gloves and
consciousness of being a mere drone in
the human hive. Tools rust from neglect
wear out from use. Neglect is criminal
use is beneficial. So with mems capa-
bilities-better wear them out than let
| them rust.

The DALLAS HERALD has n good
article on "The Duty of Texas Edi-
tors" He condemns the policy of
editors having SO much. political
matter in their papers, when the
country demands their talent in
another sphere-ie c. local interests.
AS the election is over we should
'ovote our time moro to the devel-
pment of our State, and not have
olumn after. column of political
oovos, LESS political matter will be
of advantage to everybody.
We notice that the larger number
of our exchanges have adopted a
good course since the election. In
stead of taxing the public mind
with lengthy political articles, a
column or so in length, as before
the election, they have lot loose the
political question almost entirely,
and gone into home and domestic
affairs. Instead of lengthy edito-
rails, filled from beginning to end
with politics, they are using their
time and talent in developing the
county, and using every effort to
benefit our country. We are pleased
to see this, and hope the plan may
be adopted by the entire press Of
our great State. Politics is a dam
age TO any country when allowed
to occupy our time too much. Our
country is never benefited by po-
litical demagogues, but instead Of a
benefit; is a great curse. Let us
adopt tie better and purer plan,
and thereby benefit our country.
