BY WAY OF REMARK.

In the last issue Of the Progress
we commented at some length re-
|garding an effort that is being
made BY the leaders Of the Non
Progressive party on this reserva-
tion who would assume to dictate
what the policy Of the Progress
should be. They are misled in the
belief that the Indian bureau has
any control over us, that is, so far
as the policy Of our paper or our
right to publish it on this reserva-
tion is concerned. "A discussion
on the 10Th day Of July 1897, by
the u. S. Circuit court, settled
this. And we have no fear
that the enemies of the Progress
will be any more successful, in
their insane endeavors to suppress
it, than was Indian agent Sheehan
two years ago.
Our Tribal Customs
are fast disappearing and with
them the authority that was vest
ed in chiefs. It is the natural
course ef events, and the policy Of
the Government is to abolish our
tribal relations, not forcibly, but
by the more sanguine methods Of
|education. On this reservation
the era Of a higher order of events,
is rapidly developing to maturity.
And in their frantic efforts for
supremacy and continuance Of
authority as chiefs, the leaders Of
the Non-P Progressive party siren
uously oppose and .would fain
strangle any expression or senti-
ment favorable to State laws or
the. abolition. Of tribal relations,
hence their opposition to the P Prog-
ress. and it's policy Of reform.
We: do not ognize the author
itY Of our political enemies to die
tate what the policy Of the Prog
ress should be, neither will we al
low them to supercede us in It's
management by men Of their Sc
lection. If the tribe IN: general
deem US incapable of conducting a
newspaper, and desires to dictate
its policy, we would suggest that
this right can be acquired by par
chase and through purchase alone.
We are not ayerse to selling out
our interest in the Progress to the
tribe but we object most decidedly
to any assumption Of authority,
regarding its maagementor policy,
by our political enemies while it is
owned and conducted under pres.
ent auspices.
And We viii continue to advo-
cate the loyal principles Of f"a high
er civilization; the maintenance
of law and order.n Z;
I The abolis hmens Of tribal rela-
Etions, and
The adoption Of the rights and
privileges of citizenship.
We will not swerve from this
purpose rits set course notwith-
standing the blatent threats Of
our Non-P Progressive brethren
who would turn us out Of the res-
Eervation, bag and baggage.

Maine Central Stock Yards.

Concerning the location of the cattle yards
to accommodate through shippers of live
stock on the Maine Central, from points
east which was discussed somewhat by the
press of the State last year, the Republican
Journal of Belfast. of Jan 3, says
1t is rumored that |. c. Libby, our well
known Maine cattle dealer. has offered to
furnish land free gratis to the Maine Central
Railr pal Company if they would locate the
very much Deeded stock yards at Burnham-
Mr. Libby's large dealings in live stock have
already virtually established a market at this
place. Each year in the autumn months he
provincial and Aroostook cattle and sheep
are billed to be unloaded and hell over sun

ing frequently whole train loads TO be loaded
without the necessary conveniences. Should
the Maine Central Company conclude to &C
cept tins proposition and locate at Burnham.
and we think they would use good judgment
in so doing, it would divide the distance of
shipments of live stock from the very rich

From the Magazine

Every prosperous community has three
strings to its bow"-agrculture, manuiac-
lures, and commerce. Whatever or whoever
is to blame for it, all three have gone wrong
in Ireland. - Commissioner MAcCAaTHr, in
Harper's Magazine.
OF all the tasks | set myself while on
American soil, that which | found most
difficult was getting at the national char
acteristic traits. By and by it became clear
to me that though there are plenty of
Americans, the American does not exist as
yet-MAx O'RELL, in January Forum.
1t is simply this, that if you cannot tell
what women will become, You cannot tell
what they will DO. We only know that what
ever they do, it will be for the best for the III
selves, and that the better they are, the more
prosperous and happy the world will be. 1t
is this faith that keeps us steady in mind in the
midst of the tremendous changes i'll progress
And the only NewYear reflection, after all.

Nicotine Poison.

Nicotine is one of the most powerful of the
''nerve poisons' known. Its virulence is
compared to that of prussic acid. If birds
be made to inhale its yapor in amounts too
small to be measured, they are almost in
stantly killed. 1t seems to destroy life, not
by attacking few. bat of all the functions
essential to it, beginning at the centre, the
heart A significant indication of thisis that
there is no substance known which can coun-
teract is effects; the system either succumbs
or survives. Its depressing action on the
heart is by far the most notice able and note
worthy symptom of nicotine poisoning. The
frequent existence of what is known as
