What is now happening to the Beers,
however, is simply what has happened
70 the weaker peoples everywhere and at
al times. The native inhabitants of Hin
dostan, of New Zealand, of Australia, of
North and South America, have in turn
been oyerrun and driven to the wall in
precisely the same way. Nothing more
barbarous or brutal than SPANS colonial
ton of Mexico and Peru is recorded in
history. In that case it may well be ques-
toned whether Cortez and Pizarro did not
destroy a higher civilization than their
own. When England colonized New Zea-
land she found there a noble and vigorous
race of men. The Maoris present one of
the most remarkable instances Of race
development without the concom-
itants of what we call civiliza-
ton. They possessed a well-ordered
and stable government, laws which
received universal obedience, moral code
at least equal to that of Europe. They
were brave, honorable, honest, industrious,
peaceful. But all their virtues could not
protect them against the insidious ad-
vances of the Pakeha, or White Man, and
now they are rapidly dying out, literally
withered by the atmosphere of Caucasian
civilization. The history of the founda-
ton of this republic is intimately con-
nected with even more pathetic and dis
graceful experiences. Our intercourse
with the nomadic inhabitants of the land
has been amonotonous repetition of outrage,
treachery, cruelty and fraud. We have
robbed and murdered and lied to the
Indians from the beginning, and now but
remnant OF them is left. Is it at
all wonderful that while the contrast
between religious ereeds, ethical codes
and the actual practices of man.
kind, is SO glazing and insurmountable
in question of this kind, there should be
general tendency to look upon high prin-
ciples and golden rules as matters fit only
for idle task, and having no bearing
upon real life? Lst it be remembered,
also, that all these crimes of civilization
have been committed during the Christian
era, and many of them in the very name
OF that religion. When the barbarians
overran the Roman Empire there was at
least no pretense of proselytizing or evan.
gelization among them. They were
savages, and they acted savagely. But
what has civilization done to in
troduce higher and juster theory of in
ternational comfy during the past eighteen
centuries To-day we see powerful Eng
land pursuing in South Africa policy which
is in no moral respect superior to that of the
Huns and the Visigoths of old. The old
primitive law of thestrongestiss still the only
one which determines international or in.
tertribal rights, and Justice is put out of
Court in every case in which power feels its
ability to crush resistance. 1t is after all
only the superior races that have any
rights, and even they but hold what they
have at the point of the bayonet. Facts
like these may well cause us to doubt
whether civilization has really made the
advances which the conceit of the age is
disposed to lay claim to for its own glori-
fication.

rHE MODEST SIOUX.

The Sioux have evidently learned some
Of the ways of civilization. for they pro-
pose to Secretary Schrrz that the Govern
ment shall pay them the sum of seven
million collars tor the privilege of carrying
a railroad across their reservation. Per-
haps this is the Sioux way of intimating
that they do not want the railroad at all,
bat it seems evident that unless the Gov
erument can persuade them to moderate
their demand it will have to resort to its
old policy, and take by force what it can
not purchase fairly. Ii this should drive
the Sioux on the war path again, and it
should become necessary to thin them out,
of course the fault win be theirs alone.

THE COSTUMES OF MARIE RozE. The
costumes of Marie Roze, both for private
wear and stage representations, are of the
most artistic designs and unique in orna-
mentation. An elegant concert dress,
made expressly for her appearance in a
court concert in London, composed of
white satin, is ornamented with an EN-.
broidery of diamond-cut jeweled beads
across the front, and vest OF the same is
finished with cascades of Brussels and
'duchesse lace, and the train trimmed to
match. The corsage is decollette and fin
ished with the same lace. With this
dress the couture is adorned with white
ostrich plumes and diamond spray. An
other concert toilet of pale opal-blue bro
caded satin surah, has front of gold.tin-
sci brocade, and heavy garniture of
chenille fringe, combining the two shades
of blue and gold. The front is draped in
form of tablier put on diagonally. A
blue feather pompon, with aigrette of tur-
quoise and diamonds, is worn in the hair.
