Miss ALICE C. FLETCHER, who has long
been actively identified with educational
work among the Indians, gives a good &C
count of the improvement wrought. She
is now the special agent of the government
for the allotment of lands in seyeralty to
the Nez Perces Indians in Idaho. In re-
gard to the young Indians who have been
educated in training schools of the east she
reports to the commission as follows:
''Their knowledge of English, their
glimpses of the outside world, of hearing
something talked of that touched upon
wider interests than can exist upon a res
ervatior, their experience of living in the
midst of white men-all these conditions
have developed boys and girls into intelli-
gent men and women. Now that troubles
have come and the operation of law is en-
forced that was never explained to any of
the Indians until my arrival these boys
and girls have read the law, have answered
the objections Of the older men, and desire
the emancipation that allotment brings the

power and rule. That is all there is in the
question; a disposition to do the best that
can be done on one side, determination to
capture the Offices by one means or another
on the other.
Among the tactics resorted to is the dis
position to quietly, or forcibly if needs be,
prevent any from registering against whom
any kind of trumped-up charge as to resi-
dence may be lodged. This implies
of course to those who propose to vote the
Peoples ticket. not to the others. 1t will
not work. 1t may be very fine scheme,
and may have originated in brains that
might control and command listening sen
ates but it is not politics, at least it is not
decent politics. Win your victories at the
polls, not in the registration offices, and no
one will say you nay; otherwise you may
be confronted with such opposition as you
seem most to ignore-the peaceful opera
ton of the law

WE DIDN'T mean that the scheme should
get out, but it seems impossible to keep
anything from the enterprising newspaper
fellows. Here is the South Platte Neb.,
Tribune giving the plan away, hence it is
not worth while to longer try to conceal
anything. The Tribune says: "At recent
elections in Utah the Gentiles have been
quite successful, the latest victory being
in Salt Lake itself. The Mormons know a
thing or two, and among them, they know
that Utah will never be admitted as a state
so long as it is under Mormon rule.
Their only show is to allow the Gentiles to
carry the elections, thus placing the country
under the rule of the Gentiles-so called.
tits hardly probable that Congress viii be
fooled by a thin dodge like this''

TO PURIFY OGDEN.

Deputy PRATT, who has charge of the
northern end of the First judicial district,
is deserving of applause for his interior
ence in the matter of the violation Of the
lars for the protection Of morals in Ogden
city. Ordinarily we don't like to see the
marshals taking part in the enforcement
of purely local laws, and ordinarily there is
no occasion for such taking part; but it
seems absolutely necessary for the mar
shals to take hand in seeing that GER
tain statutes are obeyed in Ogden,
the local authorities having apparently
no desire to interpose. When the Liberals
gained control of Ogden last winter, those
formidable adjuncts of the Liberal party,
the gamblers and the prostitutes, assumed
that the freedom of the city had been con-
ferred on them, and they at once proceeded
to enjoy the privilege. Gambling has been
going on as openly as whisky-selling in
other towns, and it has been published
that police officers were in the
habit of visiting the gaming places
and occasionally tempting fortune
by venturing the money received for en-
forcing the law. No attempt was made to
fame, the prostitutes Haunting themselves
and their trade in the face of the public
without fear of molestation. For a time
the women were so brazen that they &C
tually designated their establishments by
plain signs on the doors. This was little
too much for the Liberal authorities, and
some time ago the women were
notified that they must remove the
signs, though otherwise they were not in
terfered with.
The disregard of the law and decency be-
came so notorious and scandaious, and the
officials manifesting no disposition to put a
stop to the business, we presume that
Deputy PRATT felt that it was his duty to
interfere and do the work which the local
authorities manifestly had no heart to per-
form. For the sake of the clean and decent
people of Ogden, and in the interest of
good morals, we hope that the United
States marshals will effect something of a
publication, and that if they cannot suppress
the offenses which have gained for the
junction city an unenviable reputation they
will be able to drive the evil doings from
out the public gaze

SLOW CHARITY.

Boston also had a string on her contribu-
ton to the Johnstown fund. The people of
the Hub generously gave S150,00O for the
relief of the sufferers, but not dollar of
the money has yet relieved anybody. The
cash was deposited in the banks, where it
has since lain, being bound up in so much
red tape that nobody has yet been able to
release it. Governor BEAVER. of Pennsyl-
vania, has finally made application to the
authorities for the fund and hopes to get
the money before the Johnstown disaster
has been forgotten. This gives rise to the
question: How much suffering will the
Boston contribution relieve? 1t may in
demnify some for their property losses,
but that was not what the money was
given for. If it had been understood that
the contributions were to make good
the property swept away by the flood, how
much would the Boston citizens have given?
Not S15O,0OO, we may feel assured. The
city of Spokane Falls, the other day, lost
nearly half as much in actual value as
Johnstown did; but Boston does not open
her pocket books and send cash to Spokane
Falls. Why Because there was little
human suffering in the city named. Those
cities, like Chicago and Boston, which at
tached strings to their contributions, have
done little in the cause of real charity. The
Johnstown people were in greater want the
first week in June than they have been
since, and those intelligent and generous
hearted people who sent their contributions
to the front promptly did much more for
suffering humanity than those who came
late with larger gifts. While Boston was
apparently generous, everybody in Johns
town would have died about two months
before Boston got there with relief.

this being refused, he went to the
authorities and entered com
plant against the proprietors of the
establishment, charging them with keeping
a gambling house. The French govern
ment should promptly recall its representa-
tive. He is no man. We never could find
it US to feel the least degree of sympathy
for fellow who being sober and in his
right mind, deliberately goes into gamb-
ling den and loses his money, and when he
"squeals" he simply proves himself
more despicable than the gambler.
1t is singular thing that none
of these men who squeal and raise
a row when they lose ever complain
when they win. They do not give back the
winnings to the gambler, but pocket the
money and go away in cheerful mood and
with free consciences, as if they
had not been violating any law, and gamb-
ling was delightful Christian pastime.
The man who has any of the right kind of
stuff in him will never squeal when he loses
money which he has risked on the turn of
a card; he will pocket his loss, and if he has
any sense left, will keep out of gambling
houses thereafter

THE ARREST of Justice FIELD at the in
stance of the woman Mrs. HILL-TERRY is
little less than an outrage, and illustrates
the vindictive character of the creature
who is the cause of all this trouble She
did not witness the killing, and it is appa-
rent to everybody else that Judge FIELD
absolutely had nothing to do with the
tragedy. beyond receiving the slap admin
istered by TERRY. 1t would be just as
proper and appropriate to arrest the walters
and cooks at the eating house. The woman

AND so Mississippi grand jury indicted
JOHN L. SULLIVAN and petit jury con

fact, even with the dispatch before US, it
seems almost incredible. But we can no
longer doubt, and the champion of cham
pions is knocked out as effectually as if he
had never ''put up his props in his life.
The extreme penalty is $1,000 fine and six
months Imprisonment; but now that Gov
ernor LOWRY has made his point and shown
that he was in earnest in his professions of
enforcing the law, he can afford to be len
lent, especially since JOIN caused him very
little trouble.

tains no injurious matter. Beware of

your hair is slightly tinged with gray, take
off another ten years by converting it to a

California Excursions,

Low-priced excursions to California and
Pacific-coast points were first established
by the Santa Fe route. These excursions
have been successfully run over this line
foryears, but have been managed by well
known outside excursion agencies. Since
January, 1889, the Santa Fe company has
been running special California excursion
parties conducted by its own employees,
engaged especially for the work. They
will continue this arrangement-the ex-
cursions leaving Kansas City every Friday
evening. The ticket rates are the regular
second class rates. Pullman touristsleep-
ing cars, with all accessories, are fur
nished at the rate Of So per double berth,
Kansas City to California points. The ex-
cursions are personally conducted and
every comfort and convenience of travel
are guaranteed to members ofthese parties.

ic coast, and wish to save expense, should
inform themselves regarding the excur-
sions. For folder containing full particu-

Also q Forger.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Sergeant at
Arms Leedom has been gathering addi-
tional facts bearing on the defalcation OF
Cashier Silcott. There has been great
deal of speculation as to why Silcott took
up number OF notes at the National
Metropolitan bank last week, just before
he disappeared. Mr.. Leedom has secured
an explanation, which is to the effect that
the cashier forged the names of members
of the house and others to thirty-fve
notes, aggregating $14,500. 1t was these
notes which he took on November 81.
1t is believed that the forged notes were
issued by Silcott to cover losses on horse
races, and that he hoped to win enough
money to take them up, but failed to do
so and simply got deeper into the pit.
With the opening of the new congress
the hour of reckoning had come, and be-
ing unable to settle up, he decided to
make a big haul.
Before going with the money that he
got from the treasury, it is now under
stood that he consulted his lawyer, who
advised him to take up the notes so as to
destroy evidence of forgeries, as that
crime is covered by the extradition treaty
with Great Britain. While taking up
these notes embarrassed the evidence of
forgery, it is thought an indictment can
be returned for forgery by the grand jury,
thus making his extradition possible if he
is found in Canada.
