Idaho and elsewhere in the northwest is
either ignorant or insincere often
both. Wars, disease descr,ion and civil
ization have so reduced the Indian tribes
which lew years ago were powerful,
that ii all who remain were collected in
one band it would not be formidable as a
hostile force. Exact figures of our In
dian population are not to be gotten at,
but certainly there are not more than
six hundred men Of vigorous age and
health in all the tribes together They
are scattered over great area, far and
vile, from California to British Column
bia and from Montana to the ocean, in
small aud helpless bands, everywhere sur
rounded by whites many times their STU
perior in number. Very many of these
have become attached to the soil as far
mers, stockmen, etc, whose interests are
entirely those Of peace Every leader Of
character and influence has consdcra-

would sweep away.
1fthese people wanted to fight, they
could not do it. Concentration of any
considerable number would not be posi-.
bic. No longer is there wilderness to
fight in or to hide in; no longer is there
natural supply Of food; no longer are
there great bands Of the ponies absolute
" essential to Indian warfare. All the
conditions have changed, leaving the In
dian absolutely helpless as an offensive or
even defensive foe But there is no
change greater than that in the people
themselves. To speak in the old fashion
Of the Indians Of our eastern country as
'warriors" or '.bravcs' would be silly.
There is nothing left of the King Philip
spirit. Its last spark was in the breast
of Chief Joseph and it died when he
bowed his head 1t sank into the earth
his Blended knee Never, never will it
rise again.
Fear of Indian trouble is all folly, sim
pie and absolute. If there be danger in
the present relation Of white and red
men, it is the latter who have cause to
fear for the laws which protect white
men against them but do not protect
them against white men. Less than a
year ago Judge Deadly, in an opinion
delivered in the United States court said
that record of court showed that no Indi.
an ever escaped the gallows for murder.
Ing white man and that no white man
was ever hanged for numbering an Indi-

ought not to escape notice.

UNDERTAKERS.

How and Why the Term Came to BE
Applied to Funeral Directors"
The earliest known use of this word
as applied to conductors of funerals is
by Young, who has the couplet
While rival undertakers hover round,
And with his spaid the sexton marks the
The present use of the word is no
doubt derived from its primary mean
ing, one who stipulates to do anything,
or undertakes the management of any
affair. Two hundred years ago a class
of people known as upholders were
usually called upon to take charge of
the funerals Thus the poet Cav saws :
The upholder. rueful harbinger of death,
Waits with Impotence for the dying breath
Now, upholders were dealers in
secondhand furniture, old clothes and
the like, and perhaps were so called
because they were so often resorted to
as the last resource of failing credit.
AS these persons were able from
their stock of cheaply purchased
material to supply what was
needed at funerals at less ex-
pense than the regular merchant or
haberdasher. they came to be thus en-
ployed, and also to furnish houses In
time the more ambitious of this class
confined their business to the furnishing
of houses only, and dealt in goods both
new and old. and to avoid the con-
founding of their business with that of
the funeral managers styled themselves
upholsters, name changed latter to
upholsterers. Subsequently the more
pretentious members Of the clan of
upholsterers assumed tee name of
undertakers. deriving the cognomen
logically enough from the Specification
of its parts in the Saxon tongue. An
undertaken. one who takes in hand a
business or task. or renders himself
responsible for its performance. Or
perhaps the idea of the word was taken
from the French name for the same
office. entrepreneur. though the primary
idea of the French word is rather that
of one who bids for particular talk.

word with general meaning in the

The Number OF Coins Struck During tbs

The recently issued report of the
Deputy-master of the Mint, giving ar
account of the operations of that De-

than usually interesting document.
From it we learn that the amount
of gold coined during the yeal
exceeded by more than a million the
amount coined in 1888, while the silver
coinage was but little in excess of the
average. The coinage of bronze, how
ever, was larger than in any year since
1875.
The total weight of metal melted
down during the twelve months was 47C

proportion of alloy being of course in

and bronze, POS tons. The total num-
Der of coins struck out of this metal was
