WHAT CROOK WOULD DO WITH THE INDIANS

General Crook, it seems, has made some suggestions to the committee on Indian affairs, that meet with the appro- val of the CITIZEN. The CITIZEN has oA one or two occasions advocated substan- tislly the same doctrine. He recon mends as follows:
 First-That land be given to the h. dIans in severhlty. The reason for this is manifest. The Indian cannot be dealt with by civilized methods so long as he maintains his tribal relations. His atti- tude to the white man can only begin to assume something like activity when he IS placed on the same footing with him in his duties to society. By giving him title to particular piece of land he is anchored to it. His nomadic hab- its are broken up. The individual be- comes unit, instead of part of tribe. The characteristic tribal identity is de- stroyed.
 Second.-He would make him anena- ble to the law as IS the white man. All his crimes should be punished by il; all his rights protected by it. In every re- spect but the right to vote land this in time), he should be made citizen.
 The suggestion is a very good one and is at least worth a trial. Make every "Ingin" responsible for his individual acts, and he will be much more liable to behave himself than when he stands ill with band. Again, he is no better than a white man, white mans laws should be good enough for an Indian.

The Pike,s Peak Railway.

The railroad up Pike's Peak is fast nearing completion, and will be ready for business by the 1st of June. The grading has already reached Crystal Park. a point about halfway up the mountain. Trains will be run to this point while the work goes on higher up. The distance from Charlton to the top of the peak is only about twelve miles by the trail, but the railroad will cover about thirty-five miles. The same en- zines as are run on the Denver 1 Rio Grande will be used to climb the far famed peak. The grades will not be any sleeper than many on the main line of the Rio Grande. Many difficult peaks will be traversed. and it is said that the scenery is magnificent beyond deserip- tion.-Denver Tribune.

Dr. Steckler, of New Jersey, has been inocculating children with the virus of scarlet fever taken from horses with good effect. Itis an old story that scarlet fever originated in horses, the first cases being reported in royal stables in l5l4. Shortly after that time II appeared among human beings.

SOME days ago about 300 Italians were induced to go to Alsmona, Colorado, on promise of work, which was not supplied. Being destitute, but armed and outnum- bering the citizens, they threatened to remain, and it seemed th4t they would resort to violence until relief was sf- torded. In the emergency, the governor was applied to; but finding that nothing could be done by the state, private subscription, headed by Governor Grant, is being circulated. The Tribune does not say what corporation or individuals are responsible for this imposition upon both the foreigners and the citizens.

A Thrilling Situation.

An incident occurred ID the big can yon of Fraser river last week of nature so terrifying that 1t makes the blood of the narrator run cold while he writes. A young Victorian who had been engag- ed on the railway line, being mustered out of service, started for Victoria. At the point where it IS proposed throw a railway suspension bridge across the Fraser river there k stretched cable from which depends sort of cage or crate such as is used to pack fruit or cabbRges in or steamers. Passengers desiring to croBs the river enter this con- veyance. Wires or stays extend from the crate to a wheel or pulley on the ca ole, and by means of line to which a horse IS attached the crate is drawn from slde to side of the river. The cage hangs about one hundred feet above the | stream. which bOils and surges beneath | in a manner that terriies any person oi weak nerves who may intrust himself to the conveyance. Ten days ago the crate while making the crossing. turned 1p- side down. and ten thousand Canadian cigars and a quantity of other hghi goods dropped in the Fraser and were | lost. This incident was still fresh | in the mind of the young Victorian above referred to when he entered the crat. and was drawn toward the other side His equAnimity was not restored, wher | having accomplished about one-half the passage, he saw the ferrymsn leis urly unhitch his horse and drive of The day was biting cold. A sharp winC blew down the river, and whistllnl through the bars of the crate, made th' solitary passengers teeth rattle and hi flesh creep. The situation was alarm ing. The frau bark swayed to and fro threatening with every blast that strucl it to capsize and send the voyager into the depths of the river. No ore re sponded to his calls for more than al hour. Then the ferryman, having fin ished hls monday meal, returned witl the horse, made fast to the line and drew the half-dead young man 10 the shore The situation of 6 person seated m . cage is one of danger under the most \ favorable circumstances, but under the circumstances in which our young friend crossed it was positively alarming. The | ferryman, it is supposed, desired to play | a practical joke, but it will strike most | persons as being an exceedinglyi timed one.-Victoris CB. O. Colonist.

Thc Authorship of Isaiah.

Prof Felix Adler, il his discOsrse yes terday morning in Chickering hall, com meuted on the fact that, while the Book of Isaiah consists Cf siXty-six chapters, the last twenty-six of them show diff ferent style. and arc conclusively the work of a new author or set of authors. The style of the first Isaiah is terse; that of the second Isaiahi3 e.eglac. The first Is prophet of the sublime, while the second appeals Co the geutier aspects of religion and to the feelings. The soT- rows and sadness O. life are re-echOed in bis utterances. Where the first Isaiah used the masculine. the second used the feminine. Where the former represents Jehovah as the father of the people and Israel as his sons. the latter emphasizes the motherhood of divinity.
 It IS often claimed that the cOncep- 1 tion of the Hebrew God was that of c taskmaster, but 1t should be remembered | that the image Of the Good Shepherd, | with which Christianity has glonhed It's | founder. really belongs to a Hebrew writer-the second Isaiah. The gentlest and tenderest love was ascubed by him to
 his God. The iifty-tiird chapterIs com monly supposed to refer to the founder | of Christianity, but in reality 1t IS a
 picture of a typical martyr, and E as | true of every old martyr as It IS oi
 Jesus. It contains five signs of martyr dom. He is despls',d and rejected of
 men; he is done to death by the l public executioner and compelled to | make his grave with the wicked; by
 his stripes we are healed and the world
 is better by reason of his suderings, and
 over his p-ostrate body the race rises t'
 a higher step on "the starry stairway o
 the good"
 The fourth sign of the martyr IS that like the sheep before his shearers, be I
 dumb. He knows that his sacrifice |
 necessary. and be submits without mur muring. The last sig1 IS that after hli 1 death "he will receive bis portion wltt the great. A repentInt generation will | think of him with admiration, and the children of those vto slew him will | build monuments in his honor.-New ! York Hersld, Monday, Jan 10.

name of Ex-Governor Edmunds as the
successor of the present incumbent of
the gubernatorial chair. Why not
There has been a great hue and CRY
throughout the territory for the APP
pointment of a /" Dakota man." one who
knows, and will care for, the interests
Of the people. Surely Mr.. Edmunds
would fill the bill in this respect, his
residence in the territory extending
over term of nearly twenty years and
during which time he has been, one Of
Dakota's most active and prominent
citizens. Let us havean "old Dakota
ian" and there is none who will be
more acceptable to the public generally
than Mr.. Edmunds.
