INDIAN

In the Indian Territory, where the
Government maintains about seventy.
five Postofices, some of the Postmasters
are Indians. They were appointed dur
ing the Republican administration of
affairs at Washington, and nobody ap.
pears to have questioned the eligibility
Of Indians for such places. Now that
changes are contemplated, however. a
question has arisen, says the New York
Sun. and the Attorney General. to whom
it was referred, has decided against the
Indians.
Mr.. Garland holds that, so long as an
Indian preserves his tribal relation and
remains subject to the jurisdiction of his
tribe. he is not legally competent to take
the oath of Office required of Postmasters.
This view accords with that entertained
by most of the courts and commentators
who have considered the relations Of In.
dams to the Government.
1t would seem, however, that Indians
can readily qualify themselves to hold
office. "When the tribal relations are
dissolved" says Chief Justice Cooley,
"or when any individual withdraws and
makes himself a member of the civilized
community, adopting the habits Of its
people, and subjecting himself fully ia
the jurisdiction. his right to protection
in person. property. and privilege be.
m as complete as that of any other
native-born inhabitant." 1t is possible,
then, for ar Indian to become q Post.
master, but not while he remains among
his own people.

Magee's San Francisco Real Estate
Circular, issued last Monday, has the fol.
lowing interesting information about the
real estate market OF that city for the
month Of May:
ACTIVITY in small properties, dizziness
in large ones, characterized the real
estate transactions for May. The dull.
ness in large properties is due. not to the
absence Of demand, but to the absence of
supply. The market is so bare of first
class business properties as practically to
be declared entirely so. Even if q large
business property owner were getting
very much less net income from his
property than he did two to four years
ago. he will not for that reason want to
sell. for, scan the field for investment
closely and carefully as he may, he can
find nothing better in which to put his
money. Mortgages there are none, or
none but those that are unacceptable.
The banks till that field with almost
countless millions of dollars, and yet
find the utmost difficulty to keep one
half of their total deposits invested in
good mortgages. Local stocks and bonds
are all high, while some of them have
mo- sufficient of the gilt-edge character
to recommend them to general public
favor. For all of these reasons business
property-owners will not sell, conse-
quently the market is bare Of such prop
erty. Meantime, far too many vacant
lots are being pushed on a market al
ready ~over-supplied, both at private sale
and at public auction. The seed is being
sown for q fall in prices at no distant
day. We urge buyers to strike for in
come rather than for vacant land, in the
present state of the market and of gen.
eral business. When the building rush
is over, times are likely to be harder in
the city for the masses. We hope this
may not be the case, but that is the
present outlook. There were BAT sales
in all in May. of the value of 1893, 1874.
Money keeps in persistent over-supply
at the savings banks. 1t is offered by
the Hibernia Bank. in very large supply
and all sums at 6 per cent q year, the
bank paying the tax. and by the other
banks at 6 to 7; but the total amount
offered keeps far ahead of the demand.
There were 296 mortgages given last
month. amounting to s67l, 776, and l50
releases. of the value Of 1923, l6l. These
figures show that the monetary current
in real estate keeps the changed direc.
ton in which it set several months ago
that is, that the mortgages are keeping
ahead of the releases; but the change has
not yet been so great as to affect the
great over-supply at the savings banks
and in private hands. The Hibernia
Bank last month lent $3.50. $50. and
released only $50, 995. The Savings
Union lent $40, sS5 only, and released
S43, 500. The German Bank lent out
SIP, 900 and released ST., 400. Private
lenders lent 1884, 7l and released

to reclaim the wandering. to help the unbe-
lieving and generally to awaken and con-
vert souls.

A conventionalized costume adapted from

but requires a rather slender and naturally
graceful figure. 1t is made of silk and
velvet gold and wine color, red and black

The underdress is of the bright shade in

diamonds in narrow black, dark green or

velvet in the dark shade.
These sketches may suggest to young
girls the use OF a study of form, as it re-
lates to the practical work Of providing
covering for it. and not only the economy
but the opportunity for the exercise and de-
velopment of artistic taste in becoming their
own dressmaker. One of the most valua
bic ideas to be derived from the study of
art and from the dress of the aesthetic
school is the folly and improperly of super
iuous ornament or trimming that has no
purpose and no relation to the article it is
intended to adorn. This one idea well i'm
pressed upon the minds of our young women
would moralize their dress and exercise a
beneficial influence upon our entire social
and domestic life. JENNIE JUNE.
