IT'S but a short journey across the

Indian Lands in Severaltv.

The Coke bill to secure to the Indians
land in severalty is intended to secure the
tribes in possession of their reservations, and
end the notorious wrong of taking the In
dams land by fraud or force without his
consent. The United States is to hold the
reservations in trust for the tribes, but not
as permanent arrangement. The bill con-
templates the breaking up of the entire res
ervation system; it contemplates the protec-
tion of Indian land from the grasp of un-
scrupulous whites only until the Indian has
been given the proper training and prepara-
tion to enable him to take care of his own.
In the meanwhile the bill provides an i'm
portant part of this training. On the con-
sent of two thirds of the adult males, allot
ments are to made to a whole tribe in sever
atty. The reservations are divided into sep
arate farms, the members of the tribe are
given time to firmly plant and settle them
selves before, by the extinguishmedt of the
trust in which the reservation is held for the
tribe, they are left to take care of them
selves. Should the consent of the two-thirds
not be obtained, the individual Indians can
at once take allotments under the act.
There is neither compulsion of the ma
jority nor the slightest disregard of the
wants of the minority. The law of the
white man shall be extended when, by the
completion of the allotments, the indians
have shown themselves reasonably fit for it.
Nor does the act overlook the undoubted
fact that it is neither wise nor right to let
these great, solid blocks of reservations stand
in the way of traffic and settlement. Right
OF way through Indian land can be granted
at any time to railroads, highways, and tele-
graph companies, and at any time unallotted
land can be purchased, proper compensation
being given.

The Address of the Law and Order
League.

The address of the Law and Order League
which is published in another column is in
excellent spirit and IL the purposes there in
dicated are carried out in the manner indi-
Gated we have no doubt the League move
ment will be sustained by all good citizens.
Irrespective OF convictions in regard to the
wisdom of the prohibitory law there is gen.
eral agreement that while the law remains
on the statute books it should be vigorously
enforced, not by spurts, but persistently and
continuously.
1t Is of no use to deny that movements of
this kind in the past have been ,impeded, and
their power for good much weakened, by the
suspicion which has attached to them that
they were frequently organized for partisan
purposes. It is to be hoped that the present
movement may be kept entirely free from
ANYTHING calculated to give cause for this
suspicion. The disposition of the members,
as indicated by the address, is evidently 10
that direction. A little indiscrete talk, how
ever, on the part of any of them at the
present time may nullify the favorable i'm
preston of the address, and lead great
many good citizens who will be ready to give

he saw nae. Ahi now he could quarrel with
man. He could fire me off if I refused TO
pay half fare for my boy.
"How old is this child?' he demanded in
a pay or walk accent.
Dear me" 1 said, "what a question to
ask father. How old is your youngest
child?"
I knew he couldn't tell without thinking
1t over for five minutes, and so | gained
time. He had the look of an old married
man with big family, and so when 1 saw
MS face begin 10 clear up and knew he was
coming at me again I fired at him with:
"How many children have youp'
That thre him once more, and saw him
fnrtively count up to seven on bis fingers,
but was little slow in getting the battery
for the next shot, and before 1 could ask him
their names he charged right into my lines.
'Rever mind about my children" he said.
81 want TO know how old that boy is"
said, Conductor, sit down. I can't tell
you, and you know why. If tell you he is
only 3 there will be a dreadful lie on NV
conscience, and won't get my hair shirt off
for week. Ill tell the truth and saw that

old girls will consider it direct insult

trouble. must either sere my conscience
with false statement, or get into row

He saw the embarrassing position into
which he wa forcing both of us. and with
| gentlemanly consideration left me.
Now you see the trouble is all here. In
adopting rule for dead-head and half fare
children the railway companies have acted
toollshly and adopted most absurd stan
| dard. That of age What does young un-
married conductor know about the ages of
children? What conductor, old or young,
can dispute the statement of a mother?
What has age to do with it, anyhow? Is
that standard adopted with any class of pas
sengers save human beings? Does it cost
any more to transport 10 year-old horse
than q 5-year-old colt?
| The standard should be either size or
| weight; then the conductors task would be
an easy one. Make the rule that all chill
dren over three feet in height or weighing
over forty pounds should pay half fare. In
every car Fairbanks scale, in every punch
tapemeasure. "How tall is your little girl
madam?' ''Just two feet and eleven and
three-quarter inches, sir.'' "Stand up little
dear" Out comes the tapemeasure, and
the little dear, STOPPING as her mother bids
her in vigorous, matronly pantomime, stands
up four feet four inches of tape line. "What
does the little boy weight" "Thirty-nine
pounds ten and five-eighths ounces.' "Hop
on these scales, my son. All, that's just it;
seventy-three pounds nine ounces. Seven
dollars and half, madam"
trust railroads can see the wisdom of
these suggestions.

land of the South, and the Prince likewise
was with me. Now the days of the years of
the Princes pilgrimage had been few and
jolly, and have not yet attained unto the
days of the years of his fathers pilgrimage,
but they will if he lives and keeps on grow
ing. He was born few months longer
than seven years ago, which was such fq-

fair and his stature limited and his figure
slight, insomuch that he appeareth to be of
years or under. Now when got rae up
on the train I bought no half ticket.
AS we journeyed to the southland the con-
ductor approached woman sitting in the
seat in front of me. She had two little girls
in front of her. Their ages were apparently
s or 10 years. The younger was reading a
book. They were large girls. Not tall for
their ages, but pretty N assive for the free
ride age. 1t was evident that they were
half-fare candidates on fair count. In an
swer to the conductors question, the moth
er, presenting her own ticket, said that her
girls were each under six years young. The
man with the punch said they were very
large for their age, and the woman said that
size had nothing to do with it; if they were
tall as giants and were under six years they
were entitled to ride free, and she hoped she
knew the ages of her own children. And
the peculiar red signal emphasis she placed
on her double hopes made the conductor
shiver. He waved his punch with an apollo

Gov. Cleveland is reported very much dis
pleased with the financial situation and out
of all manner of patience with the silver
lunatics and infationists. He ought not
to confine his impatience to these men.
Fhey would have been entirely harmless,
but for the action Of Speaker Carlisle la
packing the committee on coinage and on
the banking and currency with them. A ma
jority of the House is in favor of the repeal
of the present silver coinage law, but Bland
and his "silver lunatics" have the power to
stife any bill with this end in view in COM
mittee. Cleveland, when he becomes Presi-
dent. can accomplish the most in the direc-
tion of improving the financial situation by
using isinfuence to induce Carlisle, if he
becomes Speaker again, not to pack these
COMMITTEES with financial cranks.

At present very little is known concerning
Rossa's assailant. She is evidently an Eng
llsh woman of considerable education and
refinement. She is not the style of woman
who would be likely to have person
al acquaintance with Rosa, and therefore
there is no ground for supposing that her
motive was to avenge any personal wrong.
The probability is that she is a species of
"crank," who conceived the idea that by
killing Rosa she would make herself he

The Liberal Democrats of Maine, So

on Monday and the "Old Democrats" were
soundly spanked. Yesterday the latter took
turn at the spanking business. A commu-

of this species, points out that under the
management of the Liberals" the Demo-
cratic party, which threw $4,000 votes

tion with political harlots, during which
time 1t elected two such distinguished men
as George w. Ladd and Thompson a.

tial campaign is enabled to show in the
year of our Lord 1884, $1,000 votes for John
B. Redman for governor, and only 81, 900 for
Grover Cleveland for president" The cor
respondent thinks if the party is to accom-
plish anything in the future it will not be
done under the leadership of the same sort

ing defeat" nor by abusing and ostracizing

Euglishmen present marked contrast to
Americans in moments of excitement. To
be sure there has lately been occasion for
the public pulse in England to beat with
more than the normal rapidity, but it is on
just such occasions that men should not
lose their heads and with wild gesticula-
tions say and do things that in calmer
moments they would not think of. Their
confusion lasts not for a moment but it is
continued and offers the greatest possible
hindrance to prompt action of policemen
and other officials. The only illustration
of this loss of self control was not at the
time Of the London explosions, but we see
it on many occasions of far less Importance.
The composure of Americans at the time
of national crises has eften been the theme
of English journalists. They recognize it as
an American characteristic, the true worth
of which Englishmen have never known.
