THE TWO CIVILIZATIONS.

"The tender grace of day that is

the streets yesterday and watched the
circus parade; for it hasn't been so long
ago since procession of prairie schOon-
ers was familiar sight to them. The
rapid progress Of our civilization had
fair illustration at the Seven corners.
where the prairie schooners and the
cable cars met; and yet there were men
and women standing there who had
seen the Alpha and the Omega of it all
right here in st. Paul. 1t is wonderful
and yet possibly we have paid the price
for this advance. We would not dis
card the cable and go back to the OK
cart: still, there were those who took
in this comparison between the old and
new yesterday, who possibly had an in
ward longing for return of the old
times. AS they were waited back
in memory to the sweet simple
ity, the gracious manlineSS, the
personal independence of other days,
and then reflected upon the changed
conditions that have come with our
modern progress, under the influence of
which individual enterprise, except in
the cases of few great operators, has
gone out of existence, they may we'll
have wondered if the world is making
progress in essential betterments. In
the days of the old prairie schooner
man was monarch of all he surveyed.
In these days of improved machinery
and consolidated capital the machine is
the master and man the incident. AS
some one has APPLY said, it is the lot of
humanity that the individual shall per-
petually wither that the world may be
more and more.

1T Is DONE.

The country is to be congratulated
that the work of the Sioux commission
has finally been crowned with success.
1t has been a serious undertaking to Sc
cure from the various Sioux tribes re-
linquishment of their great reservation,
and one that required a finesse of
diplomacy different from all the meth
DDS usually employed by diplomats
when negotiating treaty. The bitter
opposition encountered at Standing
Rock agency at one time threatened to
defeat the whole policy of the govern
ment in relation to this matter, but the
commissioners seem to have had the
proper knowledge of Indian character,
and thus succeeded in overcoming the
influence of GALL and SITTING
BULL. At the conclusion of yes
terday's conference enough sig
natures had been obtained to meet
the requirements of the law, so
that the labors of the commission are
now practically ended. The kickers
will have to submit to the inevitable.
for in due time the vast and fertile area
included in the reservation will be
formally opened to white settlement.
Thus virtually end the tribal relations
of the Indians, and from henceforth
they will cease to become the wards of
the nation. Still, the government will
be under obligations to aid in their edu-
cation, and to furnish them all the
moral support and encouragementnec
sary to make good citizens of them.

AMERICAN DERVIsHEs.

There is good deal in the attempt of
the dervish forces to capture Egypt to
remind one of the plan of campaign
adopted by the ProhibitionistS of Amer
lea. They are continually issuing proc
Iamations commanding the other fell
lows to lay down their arms, and yet
they are getting licked out of their
boots every time they venture battle.
WAD-EL-N'JUMI,th the derviSh chief, talks
for all the world like Prohibition
leader. In his recent proclamation he
boldly announced that he was not in
the Surrendering business, and declared
that he had been employed by Allah
to conquer the world, and that if the
British forces would lay down their
arms he would protect them. Only a
few months ago this great warrior of Is
lam sent word to the khedive and
Queen VICTORIA that if they would sub
nit to the Mahdi's authority, they
might live in peace; but, if they would
not, they would be captured and
killed. These reckless Soudanese
talk that way because they do
not know anything about the rest of
the world. They imagine that the earth
and all it contains lies within the small
area which is subject to their invasions.
Our American Soudanese-the Prohibit
tionists we mean-are afflicted with the
same sort of delusion; and that is
what makes them so dangerous o the
old political parties. All the world
may scott at their feebleness, and yet
they are fired with zeal that makes
them next to invincible. They may be
killed off, but they can't be conquered.
They are in position to keep up a
guerrilla warfare for the next hundred
years, and there is every likelihood that
| they will do it.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

The Chinese question bids fair to be
one of burning Importance in the next
congress. The New York chamber of
commerce has determined to make
vigorous effort to secure the repeal of
the exclusion act, and it is understood
that all of the cities along the Eastern
seaboard will back New York in the
movement. 1t is alleged that the act is
a bar to the establishment of successful
commercial relations with China, and
has been the means of diyerting mill
ions of dollars of trade each year from
this country that legitimately belongs
here. Piqued by the discrimination we
make against their race, the Chinese
merchants will favor any other country
on the face of the globe in preference
to ours. Slngularly enough, G. p.
HUNTINGTON, who is supposed to be
identified with Pacific coast interests,
is unfriendly to the law, and will lend
his aid to the movement designed to Sc
cure its repeal. 1t is probable that his
hostility arises from his connection with
the Pacific steamship business, which
has suffered because of the restrictions
placed On Chinese immigration. The re-
peal movement has yet much stronger
ally in the clergy. who maintain that
American mission work has languiShed
in the Flowerv kingdom Oh account Of
the discrimination this country makes
against the inhabitants thereof. The
Chinese will not accept Bibles or listen
to sermons from the Mclean man, who
is regarded as the enemy of their race;
and accordingly the number of con
versions since the exclusion act went
into effect has been exceedingly small.
The people of the Pacific states will
certainly make bitter opposition to
the repeal of the law, so it is natural to
expect pretty lively squabble when
congress tackles the question. The
business interests of the East, combined
with the religious sentiment of the
country, will be sure to create strong
movement in favor Of repeating the eX
cusion act; and in addition to this. it
seems to be fairly well understood that
the sympathy of the administration will
be with the repealerS. Mr.. MAMA
MAKER is an enthusiast in favor of re-
pealing the law, and where Mr.. WANA-
MAKER leads the president usually fol-
lows, especially in matters involving
religious sentiment.

THE KANSAS PLAN.

In his recent magazine article upon
prohibition in Kansas, Senator INGALLS,
speaks of the law adopted there as com
bining the most stringent provisions OF
other such enactmentS, and the most
searching and effective legislative in
genuity has yet devised. He regards it
as much of a success as measures of
that kind can be. 1t is true that he
finds so many exceptions and moditica-
tons that some are disposed to believe
he would cumulate them into large
majority if he had no use for the polit-
zeal power Of prohibition. An illuStra-
tive point or two is related by resi-
dent of this city, who is prohibition
list and Republican. On recent visit
to Kansas he spent some time in trying
to get an insight into the operations OF
the law in the smaller towns. as the eX-
ceptions of the senator presume that in
the chief cities no man need go far in
quest of internal irrigation. In one of
the counties he found that young per-
sOnal friend held the agency for the
sale of liquors, which seem to be a mo-
nopoly so far as the legally authorized
traffic is concerned. This young man
came there from another state two or
three years ago with no money. He
was doctor without patients and with
small prospects. He opened little
drug shop, and by some political intiu-
ence secured the post of liquor seller
under the law, by prescription or GER
tificate, for each of which he is allowed
to charge 10 cents. The town has but a
few hundred population, but still in the
short time he has become worth about
$4,000, and will be millionaire if he
can hold the trade. In another small
place man opened small drug store
on borrowed means, and he already
owns the largest business block, has the
elegant team in the place. The visitor
says that an average gold mine
is nowhere in comparison with
the authorized sale of liquors in
Kansas. There are no offices that
can touch it. In the minor towns, where
the cider joints and other dispeDsarieS
do not divide the business, the census
man could pretty nearly compile his
work from the prescription book of the
legal seller of liquors. He only has the
S25 United States government license
to pay, and the profits are enormous.
These dealers will all sign, without fee,
all the certificates wanted that prohibi-
ton does prohibit. People require some
thing to take to prepare the system for
malaria and snake bites, and the appre-
hension is very general. The Prohibi-
tionists have their law and the drinkers
have all the liquor they want, and the
dealers save the license. Of course.
prohibition is popular there, and sue
cess.

Washingtonians Agree to Vote
on the Prohibition Ques ton.

OLYMPIA, W. T., Aug. 5.-Immediate-
ly after the convention had assembled,
the convention sent message of con-
dolence to Spokane Falls. The commit
