Domestic Habits in Alaska.

Lieut.. Schwatka's concluding paper on his
explorations of the Yukon river, with many H.
lustrations, appears in the October Century, sup
plemented by an interesting open letter on the
domestic habits of the Chilcat Indians, by Mrs.
Eugene g. Willard. From Mrs. Willard's letter
we quote the following: 1.-THE Chilcat people

by them is punishable with death. At first
thought their marriage laws seem very elastic
but such ia not the case. Though they do not
bind tightly, they bind strongly, and the limits
which are fixed are fixed indeed. The children
always belong to their mothers and are of her
totem. This tO-temic relation Is considered
closer than that of blood. II the fathers and
mothers tribes be at war, the children must
take the maternal side, even If against their
father. It Is this law which makes Illegal any
marriage between members OF the same tribe.

Unhappy Mrs. SartOris.

From the Denver (Col) Opinion.
The papers have been dumb about the Sartoris
matter The truth is that the only reason why
the separation has not been completed between
Nellie Grant and her husband has been because
o. her inability TO obtain possession of her three
children. SartOris has been brutal in his treat
ment OF her, and she does not want to live with
him. II the children ever get to this side of the
water they will never be allowed TO go back
again. III Mrs. Sartoris gets possession of them,
she viii probably. after the mourning in the
Grant family ends. bring suit for q divorce from
nne brutal, unappreciative creature she married.
This marriage was the regret of Grants life

Revfving the Thumb Signature.
From the san Francisco Chronicle.
In medieval times when one OF the fashion,
able folies was neglect OF education rulers and
other gentlemen. instead OF making their mark
or endeavoring 20 sign their names, dipped one
oftheir thumbs in ink, and blotted their mark
ON documents in that way. In some respects
IL marks the distinction between two Signatures
even better than the writing inployed by eli viI-
lied people, since the latter may be perfectly
Initiated, and the thumb imprint cannot be
counterfeited. On account Of the difficulties

between the arrangement OF the grain
OF various thumbs has been demon
strssed in enlarged photographs OF such

Why the Indians Were Restless.

The cattlemen were somewhat unfortli.
nate in not getting an answer to their ap-
plication for delay in the execution of the
removal order before General Sheridan's
official report was made public. In this
document the commander of the army
goes directly to the root of the whole mat
ter. He considers the causes of the ont
break of the Indians rathar than the diff
culties themselves or the manner of set
Ting them.
He attributes all the trouble to the fact
that the lands have been leased to the cat
tie growers, and charges that this result
was brought about largely by the action
of the Indian agent-who, happily for the
cause of peace and quiet, was promptly re-
moved. He brushes away the claim of
alleged consent on the part of the Indians
a., indeed, he well may when it is recog.
ni2ed that neither az tribes nor as indi-
yiduals have they any right to be asked or
to give this consent. 1t was inevitable
that the ranches of this reservation should
become headquarters for turbulent, law
less Adventures, whose conflicts with the
Indians were matter of course. The
generals recommendation that an army
officer be made agent is sensible one in
this contingency, as it can not be ques-
toned that his authority will be the more
fully recognized than would that of
civilian.
With this report as a basis the president
and the secretary of the interior
hive declined to modify the execu-
i've proclamation for the removal of the
cittle within forty days, and have
given the cattlemen To understal d
tiat they and their herds will be removed
BY the aid Of the army if necessary. This
'ug At TO convince them and all Other law |

breakers that this is an administration
which means what it says. II will not is-
sue an order one day only 10 show itself
an adept in vacillation the next but will
be sure 1t is right and then go ahead.
1t snow plain that 1t was good policy to
send General Sheridan to the seat of the
difficulty. lie not only knew instinctively
what the trouble was, but his position,
rank and character, were such that the
law-breakers and the Indians both knew
that he and the government meant
business. Neither was it too slight work
for the commander of the army to do-s
theory which has found acceptance in thost
quarters where high officer Of the army
is supposed to stand around in full epau
letted uniform, simply to let the world se'
how much dignity can be concentrated il
one human being. Such an official is in
tended to work like anybody else and lik
them must do with his might what hi
hands find to do.
