At a reception given in Philadelphia,
a few evenings ago 10 several students
from the Indian school, at Carlisle.
Pennsylvania. DAN Tucker, an Ar
rapahoe, made the following neat and
suggestive speech: STUDY is very
good, but there is nothing 50 good for
the health as work. God knew what
was good for men when He told us to
work with our hands. The devil tempts
everybody, but the idle, lazy man who
gives plenty OF work to all who do not
find it themselves. We are told that
there are but three ways of living-by
working, by begging and by stealing.
Those who do not work do one of the
other two. We, at Carlisle school, do
not propose either to steal or to beg for
a living. When we go back TO our
homes, we intend to go back with good
trades. strong arms and willing hearts.
We will go back to lay the foundations
of new life for our people. We work
with good courage now, because
we are preparing to do a great, good
work then" 1t would be interesting to
know how we'll that Indian will stick
to his text when he gets back among
his people. 1t is fact known by many
early settlers of Kansas that Indians
among the more civilized tribes who
have been educated east have often as
sumed the nomadic habits and dress of
his race after returning to mingle with
them. Even the women have often re-
turned to the rowing and idle life of the
Indian after returning from boarding
school," We trust Dan will prove an
exception. But still We believe it is
best to go on with the experiment OF
trying what good education will do the
Indian.

ABOUT TIMBER.

The serious question of the future |
timber supply is constantly attract
ing attention and the busy Spectator,
whose range of vision takes IN every
necessary article of consumption, is
grasping the question in all its sig
Influences. We may soon expect him
to corner the market for speculative
purposes. The supply Of timber TO come
from the Puget Sound region is, to de-
gree, an unknown quantity, but the sup
ply in every other section, at the prez-
ent rate of cutting ana burning, can not
last many years. It was-the estimate of
very intelligent parties, who went care
fully over the ground year ago, that
the supply of yellow pine. for example,
in the pine belt Of Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, and \ ississppj.wouId not an
swer the present demand more than IL
years, 4 subsequent careful examina-
ton, making reasonable allowance for in
creased demand. reduced the time to ten
years. True, other figures that have
been made have extended the time some
what, but there is no reason to doubt
that we are far nearer the end of these
pine forests than most of us have sup
posed.
| What is true of southern pine is still
more emphatically true of the white
pine at The north. Men in these pine
regions are beginning TO prove their
faith by their works. Not only has the
price of this lumber been advancing
rapidly but the valuation of the land al
so. For example the following account
came the other day from Chicago. In
the Menominee region large tract, five
miles from any stream, has
been sold within short time
at So per 1000 feet This land
would not have realized so cents pei
900 feet two years ago. Speculative
purchases of pine tracts at points from
which Chicago and the customers o
Chicago dealers must secure their sup
ply for the next ten years are becoming
a frequent practice nowadays among
capitalists, who thing they foresee Z
very large profit in suclf ventures. L
has been related that prominent citi
zen of Chicago received as his fee in Z
noted divorce case many years ago 4;
tract of pine land 10 Michigan, then
valued at $1,000. This land, it is said
has recently been sold at the snug sun
} of 1920 700, or So per 1000 feet for tn,
stumpage.

Provisions of the Measure Reported to
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The' senate
Judiciary committee to-day reported a
bill to establish a uniform system of
bankruptcy, and it will be called up for
consideration as soon as the pending or
der is disposed of.
1t provides that whenever any person
without fraud shall become involved in
debts and liabilities beyond his means
of payment, amounting to $500 and up
wards, he may apply by petition in
equity to the United States district
court, setting forth the cause of his in
solvency and giving a schedule of his
liabilities and assets, and may surrender
his estate for the benefit of creditors ex-
cept such as may be exempt from execu-
ton, and if good cause appear, the
courts shall adjudge him bankrupt and
appoint receiver and serve a notice TO
all interested persons and distribute
the estate according to the rules of
equity; and if there was no fraud,
the petitioner shall be discharged
as bankrupt person. That when
person runs away or absents or
conceals himself or makes fraudulent
ransfer of property, or otherwise at
tempts to defraud his creditors, the lat
ter may Tile petition for bankrupt pro
ceedings against him. Insolvency, shall
exist only when the debtors liabilities
exceed the value of his property. Pow
ers to extend the time or stay proceed
ings are conferred upon the court. Any
conveyance, transfer, or payments made
and received in view of bankruptcy may
be set aside if found to be contrary 10
the just rights of other creditors, but the
money obtained and used in good faith,
though unsuccessfully, to arrest an inn
pending bankruptcy, or to save a threat
ened sacrifice of property, or for sick
ness or other like necessity, may be pre-
ferred in payment or in security by the
co urt if it should appear that any credit
or oppressively sought to force debtor
into bankruptcy or TO obtain any fraudu-
lent advantage over other creditors, the
court may deny such creditor participat-
ing in the estate. The district courts
shall be considered always open for the
consideration of bankrupt business shall
have precedence.

Senator ingalls, does not appear to
have the anti Chinese mania in a very
severe form. he said, in substance,
when the Chinese immigration bill was
under discussion, that he would as soon
think of destroying all the mules and
horses or all the labor-saying engines
and machinery Of the country as of re-
polling or expelling class of deserving,
patient, obedient, frugal and industrious
laborers, but he conceded to the Cali
fornians the same right he would claim
for themselves in regard to matters
which were chiefly of local importance.

The number of deaths in New York
during January and February exceeded
the number Of births by 1884. The
Tribune tries to draw u modcum of con,
ISOLATION over this state of affairs from
the fact that there were twenty-one more
marriages in February than in January.
The teachings of fashionable society as
now constituted leaves little to expect
from this source, and New York must
rely for holding up her population to
the increase in foreign immigration. II
may be that the death rate in January
and February above the average for the
year. The board of health announces
that smallpox and scarlet fever are on
the decrease.

SEVERE ON THE SANTA FE.
The Citizens of Newton Heard from In
Relation to the Recent Bond EIec-
ff0n

Relation to the Recent Bond Elec-
ton.
NEWTON March AT meeting here
last evening of not less than 500 citizens,
representing more than half the town
ships of the county, the following was
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad company, in the cleo
ton to-day to vote aid to two competing
lines of railroad, has run special train
of about 200 illegal voters to the voting
precincts of Sedgwick, Halstead and
Burton, and voted their drunken, ire
sponsible mob at each of these places;
therefore,
ResOEUed, First-That this attempt of
the representatives of the Santa Fe rail-
road company to pollute our ballot
boxes by placing therein the votes of
ignorant, drunken and illegal voters, is
gross outrage on the rights of our peo-
pie.
Second-That we condemn in IN
measured terms this immoral, unmanly
and fraudulent act of the managers of
the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe rail-
road company, by which the defeat of
the will of our people has been attempt
ed.
Third-That we denounce the officers
and agents of the Santa Fe railroad
company in this city who gave assist
ance and encouragement to this infa-
nous outrage upon our rights.
FOurth-That because of the out
rageous and unlawful action of the rep
resentatives of this railroad company in
causing several hundred illegal votes to
be placed in the ballot boxes of Sedg-
wick, Halstead and Burton townships,
we most earnestly protest against the
county commissioners counting the
votes returned from these places.
The election in this city and through
out the county, except at Sedgwick,
Halstead and Burton, was conducted
legally and in the most quiet and or
derby manner. At the excepted places
a drunken mob of railroad employees had
possession Of the polls much of the day,
to the great Indignation of the re-
spectacle men residing thereat,
and at Halstead men of high char
acter, quiet lockers on who were
taking no part In the election, were
mobbed and driven from The town be-
cause of being friends of the PROPOSE
ton, one of the number being severely
injured. We have no doubt of the re-
lection of the illegal votes cast. This
will give majority of nearly one
thousand for the proposition, and lead
to the early construction of these two
great competing lines of railroads
through this county, as one of these lines
is to be operated in connection with the
Chicago, Rock Island s. Pacific, and
Alton railroad. They will make New
ton the best railroad point in Kansas.
The city now has about 4, 600 inhabi-
tants. It is situated in the best agricul-
tural districts in the state, has the finest
depot and hotel building in the west,
and is growing very rapidly.

Inter-Ocean: There were many re-
markable passages in Blaine's Grafton
on Garfield that seem the more remarka
BILE the closer they are studied. The
care with which many portions of the
address were written is not so nOticea-
BILE at first glance as when the words
are carefully weighed. OF this charac-
ter is the passage in which Garfeld's
peculiarities as a parliamentary leader
are touched upon, and comparisons
made with Clay, Webster and Stevens
in this country and Peel and Gladstone
in England. 1t was natural that a man
who has been described as the Henry
Clay of this day should take the great
Kentuckian as the model parliament
tary leader and class Garfield as a great
debater. 1t was a happy stroke,
too, to go abroad for an Illus
tration of Garfield's Straightforward
downness in political discussion, and no
part of the address is likely TO attract
more attention abroad than this refer
encc to Burke and Gladstone:
He had all of Burke's love for the sub
lime and the beautiful, with, possibly,
something of his superabundance; and
in his faith and his magnanimity, in his
power of statement, in his subtle anal
ysis, in his faultless logic, in his love of
literature, in his wealth and world of
illustration, one is reminded of that
great statesman of to-day, who, confront
ed with obstacles that would daunt any
but the dauntless, reviled by those whom
he would relieve as bitterly as by those
whose supposed rights he is forced to
invade, still labors with serene courage
for the amelioration of Ireland and for
the honor of the English name.
Gladstone has been, as was Garfield,
almost continuously in public life. He
ripened slowly, while Garfield developed
rapidly; but The comparison holds good.

ephOne is to become the style? II
seems TO succeed well at Hartford,
Conn. Every Sunday a hundred or
more subscribers are put on the South
Church circuit, and generally succeed
in following the service with only oc-

the preacher turns his back upon the

There are one or two considerations that
will tend to make this telephone system
very popular. The first is that it does
away with the contribution box which
is so obnoxious TO those who think the
gospel can be preached for nothing. An.
other is that it will save large sums OF
money to doting husbands and papas
for new bonnets But we hope the old
way of going to church will not become
