The good results Of the present
methods pursued in the education of
the Indians has been recently discussed
in the Senate. Their usefulness was
challenged by Senator Teller Of Colo
RADIO, and he proposes as the only way to
settle the question, that they should De
compelled to 60 to work; he says I'VE
support these men, women and child
rem, giving them all their food and all
their clothing; and we profess TO educate
them, and then we say TO the savage;
60 to school il you SEQ fit, and If you
do not you need not. Thus year after
wear under these treaties VIC maintain
schools ut agencies where to-day there
will not be found 8 per cent. and In
some instances not per cent. of the
whole population that can be said 20
have been benefited at all by these
schools. You may take some of the
tribes that could mention where we
have from fifteen TO twenty years main
tanned schools, where 1t is utterly inn
possible to fine a full-blooded native
who can read or write or sign his own
name. Why? Because we have sent
out teacher to teach who had not any
special interest in getting the children.
Tho teacher got his pay whether the
children came or whether they did not
como. The agents had not any inter
est in it, the Indian had not any interest
in it, and so the schools have not been
taught. but wages have been paid in
cases under treaty for at least twenty
years" There is no doubt that compul.
sorry work would be as great and bene-
fetal Indian remedy as the we'll known
"Sagwa; but when they are FIRST com.
PEELED TO learn to speak, read and write
English their work will begun on the
right basis.

The Evening Chronicle, a Democratic
paper published in Birmingham, Ala.
says: 1--WE have lot Of democratic
senators in Washington who have an
idea that it is craftsmanship to oppose
all that the south wants and to support
all that the north wants. In the old
days before the war, the south got all
the sentimental legislation and the north
all the business legislation. We want
to see change and all the odds made
even" In other words The Chronicle
sees that the economic policy of the
present administration is against the
interests of that section, but does Mt
dare TO oppose anything or anybody
labeled Democrat. The average voter
in the "Solid Sonth" would vote for an
Indian tobacco sign if put up bv The
bad old party" "a less harmful dummy
perhaps than the present figure head.

A correspondent of the Broadhead
Independent proposes the name of Hon.
A. N. Randall, of Broadhead for
Lieut.. Governor. The Monroe Sentinel
commenting upon this suggestion says
there are already no less than dozen
candidates in the field for Lieut.. Gov
ernor. and so advises Capt. Randall to
run for District Attorney of Green
county. We were not aware that the
lieutenant-governorshlp was so much
sought after. 1t is probable that the
present incumbent will be re-nominated
without any considerable opposition.

A Judicial TESTERS Latest.

Judge Gary, the judicial jester, has been
making his friends laugh with new
joke. Have you heard of the latest alb
stract scheme3 OF course you have not,
and your curiosity concerning it is stimu-
lated to an extraordinary degree by the
solemn, almost mysterious air of the
judge, who asks you the question. 'sWell,"
he says, after you have pressed him to
tell you. ''we are getting up company
that will prepare complete set of books
from the records of the courts, and be
ready to furnish abstracts of titles to men
and women. Say a woman wants to
marry q man whom she has not known
very long, and she wants to make sure
that he has no wife living in Wisconsin
or Indiana, she comes to our company
and gets an abstract of title on him that
will show her just how many times he
has been married, how many times di-
vorced, how many wives he has had die,
what they died of, and all about his
matrimonial career, If he has had one.
The abstracts, of course, will be quite
as useful to the man who wants to
know what sort of title he can get to
the woman he is about to marry, and in
every way the scheme will be good one.
There IL great and an increasing demand
for just such an. enterprise right here in
Chicago. Chicago Herald.

Scene on the Bowery.

There was queer scene on the Bowery
n day or two ago, when one of the clothing
houses gave away 1000 overcoats to poor
boys, demanding quarter from each boy,
for some wise reason not clearly ex-
planned. The little gamins who sell the
papers got most of them. Possibly you
think that was good, and that they would
be snug and warm this winter. Well,
don't know. They are, beyond and above
all other, the strangest part of our popu.
lation. They are like little rats or foxes
Their origin is easy to get at; they are the
children of love, of paupers, of vaga-
bonds, and of the squalid tenement dis
tricts. Thousands either have no homes
or else don't go to them, but live in lodg-
ings, newsboys' homes, and In wagons,
garrets, cellars and the general poke holes
of the city. The bootblacks are their
brothers and chums, and live in the same
way. They all smoke-either stumps,
picked up, or cigarettes at two for cent.
Their stoves are the gratings over boilers
snder the streets; their dissipation ia at
tendance of the galleries of the cheapest
variety shows; their best fun Is found In
fighting.
''They are wild beasts" said the clerk
in the publication Office of q newspaper
the other day. "They are devoid of affec-
ton and gratitude. They swear at you If
you speak kindly to them, run away from
you if you offer them advice, jeer at you
If you are well dressed and pass group
Of them. If we take pity on them and in
vite them into the press room in cold
weather they break the windows, hack
the woodwork and even go so far as to
take stones or weights and break the
heaviest iron work. While they wait in
the Office to buy papers they dig trenches
in the counters with the steel pens and
break the holders in two. One day one Of
the clerks gave one of these boys . good
derby hat that he had tired Of Another
clerk asked the boy why he did not ssy
Thank you,' sA-a-a-h, the boy replied,
go chuck your mother overheard
what are You going to do with the hatp'
the clerk asked. Sell it in Baxter street
for fifteen cents he replied, and pla,
cruso wild de money. ,n-Julian Ralph's
New York Letter,
