The move in the Third congressional

WE'LL ENDORSED

President Cleveland's position regard

the Indian language in Indian schools
is well endorsed by GOOD THUNDER.
Gen. SIBLEY's old scout. A better en-
dorsement from more competent
source could not be adduced GOOD
THUNDER is himself an educated In

versed in the ways of civilization, lives
among his people here in Minnesota
and labors fol- their good
He speaks with the weight of author
ity upon the matter, and is obviously in
better position to understand the
necessities of the situation than the
convention of clergymen which re-
Gently passed resolutions disappearing
of the presidents order. As GOOD
THUNDER himself points out, the very
fact of the learning of the English IAN
guage is a marked step in the direction
of civilization, and manifestly renders
more easy the compliance with the ways
of civilization which the language
teaches.
Of course, to the Indians Of more ma
ture growth, its requirement is difficult,
but the results when once acquired quite
counterbalance that drawback. With
the Indian children the teaching of
English is simple enough. They acquire
it as readily as their. own language. and
at the same time make wonderful prog
ress toward complete civilization. If
they are instructed in their own Ian
guage they readily forget, in the inter-
walls of instruction, what they have
learned. and relapse into their former
| condition of Savagery.
Common sense is on the side of Presi-
dent CLEVELAND in this matter, and
the merited endorsement given him by
COOP THUNDER simply confirms that
declaration.

CALIFORNIA TARIFF PLANK.
Foster American Industry, But
Oppose Capitalization.

Los ANGELES, May 1S.-The full text
of the tariff plank in the platform
adopted by the Democratic party yes
terday is as follows: 1.-THE Democracy
pledges an equitable reduction of the
tariff. The Republican party, while adj
hitting the inequality and injustice of
the revenues laws, enacted under the
excitement and necessities of great
war, persistentIy fails to suggest any
reform, and obstanately seeks to defeat
all efforts directed at the adoption of a
just and comprehensive measure. We
believe in fostering American industry,
but we oppose the Substituting of great
monopolies and the Capitalization of
money in the hands of few autocrats,
whose aims and wishes are wholly at
variance with the welfare of the toilers
of the land. We heartily endorse that
progressive measure commensurate
with and made necessary by the growth
and needs or our Countrywide message
of the president urging reform in our
tariff which will lessen the exactions
now practiced upon our people," NJ. f.
Tarpie, W. D. English, G. w. Taylor
and Stephen NJ. White were elected

NEW YoRK's DELEGATES.

New York sends lot of new men to
the Democratic national convention this
year. Of the four delegates at large,
Roswell P. FLOWER is the only one
who is known outside of the state. A
glance at the list of district delegates
reveals the fact that out of the sixty
eight delegates there are only four who
have national regulations; and singu-
larly enough, these four are famed ora
tors. They are DANIEL DoUGHERTY,
BoURKE COCHRAN, ROGER A. PRYOR
and JOHN r. FELLOWS. Mr.DoUGHERTY
made his brilliant hit at Cincinnati in
1880, when presenting the name of
Gen. HANCOCK to the cOnven-
ton. JOHN r. FELLOWS first rose
into national prominence at the
same time by his able argument in
opposition to the admission of the Tam
many delegates. BoURKE COCHRAN
won his oratorical laurels in the Chicago
convention four years ago, and was sent
to congress on the strength of it. Gen.
ROGER A. PRYOR is in New York what
W. W. ERWIN is in the Northwest. the
great mOgul of the criminal bar. PRYOR
and ERWIN resemble each othar in per-
sonal appearance. Both are long and
lank, and of the spirituelle style. 1t is
evident that the New York delegation
go to st. Louis prepared to do all the
talking that the occasion requires.

How About Cheese =?

To the Editor of the Globe.
In copy of the Toledo Blade of Sd
inst. note an article entitled 'sSome
Tariff Facts" a correspondent writing
from Beloit, Kan, says that free traders
in that vicinity are asserting that there
are many articles manufactured here
which are shipped to England and sold
at price below what the English man
ufacturers are able to sell them, and
asks is this true. In reply the editor of
the Blade says: 1--WE have for some
time been endeavoring to find out what
these mythical articles are, but so far
have not been able to find any," Con-
tinuing he (the editor says: "There
are American goods sold in England.
but we cannot ascertain the slightest
foundation for the story that they are
sold there cheaper than in America
We believe it a free trade lie.''
Let me refresh the Blades memory.
OF rather the editors. American cheese
can be bought in Scotland for pence
per pound and in Heron Lake it costs
20 cents, or s cents per pound more.
How this is thus, perhaps, the editor of
the Blade may be able to explain.
