The esteemed contemporary, the Sa-
lima Republican, is conspicuous among
the Kansas press for its perspicuity and
correctness Of data in the statement of
facts, therefore we are quite positive in
the statement that its declaration that
''the rebellion, like John Browns body.
goes marching on" was slip of the pen.
Nothing that enlists the sympathy and
hearty cooperation of SO live and cour-
ageous journal as the Republican as
does the current evolvement, otherwise
rebellion, could rest in the grave. 1t
made no mistake as to the aggressive
ness of the movement, however; it do
move and no mistake.

BOSTON'S MONEY SUPPLY.

The Boston Advertiser commenting
upon the relation of the banks of that
city have sustained to some of the recent
large failures, says: 1.-THE willingness of
the banks to buy single name paper has
had two bad results; it has driven bust
ness paper, so-called, almost out of the
market, and it has led to such an in
crease in the custom of issuing notes to
permit the payment for merchandise in
cash, that, in all the recent failures, the
indebtedness to the banks comprise
about 70 per cent of the entire liabilities.
This would not be so deplorable if the
banks had merchandise to a reasonble
extent behind the notes which they have
bought, but it is not so.
The fact is that Boston's many banks,
exceeding in number those of any other
city in the country, have fallen into
practices which the strain of competi-
ton always brings in any line of bust
ness. II behooves bank directors gener-
ally to revise their business methods, to
see how far they may have drifted away
from conservative course, and having
got their bearings to return to more
prudent practices"
Capital is said to be exceedingly tim
erous and wary, but it is also FESTIVE in
idleness, hence the disposition shown by
the surplus in the east and especially in
Boston to look to the west for safe and
profitable employment. And so success
full has that been which has found foot
hold in the west, and SO liberal has been
the amount, that the conditions and ex
periences in the Advertiser are more
matters of surprise out here than other
wise. 1t is not characteristic of the
shrewd, wide awake Bostonians to con-
tent themselves with the narrow mar
gins of profit and questionable security
mentioned, when ample returns and I'M
questioned foundations are SO readily
found in the west.
Kansas investments have hitherto
been the outside favorites in Boston and
other New England money centers, and
will become more so in future in view of
the fattering invitation at present held
out by the general business outlook.

Major Mckinley has made personal
inspection of the ruins in the path of the
Conemaugh flood and is reported to be
very much astonished at the complete
ness of the destruction. 1t is announced
that he will make an effort to have the
general government appropriate snm
for the purpose of clearing out the
rivers, which are as badly filled up to-
day as they were two weeks after the
flood. There is no lack of precedents
for such action on the part of the gov
eminent, but with the vast amount of
money contributed voluntarily by the
people of the country at large for the re-
lief of the people of the flooded district,
a considerable portion of which remains
in the hands of the repositories, the ex-
pediency of invoking additional aid from
the government will no doubt be serious
ly considered.

EDUCATIONAL OBLIGATIONS.

In the current number of Edward Ev.
erett Hale's Lend Hand, Mr. Lyman
Clark discusses morals in Public
Schools" He believes that morals
should be taught both by the general in
fluence and discipline of the schools and
by special class exercises, aided by text
books. The instruction, as matter of
course, should be undenominational.
He says: eve should abandon the
thought that the morals of good citizen
ship will all come without any special
study or effort; that the principles of
right and wrong are well enough under
stood without any systematic teaching.
Nor should we rest in the conclusion
that this teaching belongs exclusively
to the churches, Sunday schools and
homes. Many children do not attend
any church or Sunday school and are
not taught morals at home. The public
schools furnish the only opportunity to
reach all the children of the state, and
it is the business of the state to have
special care that the morals of good cit
izenship shall be taught to ALL There
would be no objection, we imagine, from
any quarter to the teaching of morality.
1t is not sectarianism to teach children
to be honest in all things, to love virtue
and shun vice.
The simple statement of the condition
and needs of society as set forth in the
foregoing is anything but compliment
airy to our boasted advancement in CIV
ilization and enlightenment. When the
state undertook the mental training of
the children it assumed, to some ex-
tent, responsibility for their moral well
fare which, like the mental, necessarily
depends upon instruction and careful
training if the results are to be realized.
There is much involved in this PROPOSE
ton; more than is appreciated by ma
iority of the people, and more than
many are willing to admit, but those
whose official stations gives them cogni-
zance and control thereof cannot afford
to ignore it and let it go by default on
that account.

Commissioner Morgan of the Indian
bureau has taken hold of the matter of
Indian traders scandals with vigorous
hand and will do his level best to eradi-
cate from the public service class of
men who have used their positions as
government traders for purposes not at
all creditable to themselves or the gov
eminent. In recent letter of instruc-
lions to special Indian agents, who are
inspectors of trading posts, he says:
thereafter, when inspecting Indian
agencies, you will carefully ascertain
and report as to the general reputation
of such trader for honesty, fair dealing
with the Indians and good influence
among them. You Will also report
specifically as TO the quality and suf-
fciency of the stock of goods kept by
the trader; whether be sells intoxicating
liquors under any disguise, or arms or
fixed ammunition, or trades with the
Indians for goods furnished by the gov
eminent, or in any way violates the
letter or spirit of sections %, 81 and 33,
relating to the above; whether his store
is kept open on Sunday; whether it is
used as resort Tor loafers, and whether
gambling, demoralizing dances or any
other practice or amusements hurtful to
the Indians are allowed upon the prem
ises."

the Cherokees to relinquish another
tract. They consented of course, though
unwillingly and after considerable delay
In 1905, 1915 and 1917 further conces
sions were demanded and made, and il
the last named year the United State:
solemnly guaranteed to each head of &
family east of the Mississippi six hun
dred and fifty acres of land, with re
version in fee simple to their children.
Some disposition was shown for time
to abide by this last agreement, but the
Georgia people coveted the lands of the
lower Cherokees and determined to
dispossess them. They had pleasan,
homes, fruitful orchards and well cult
waited farms.
No part Of the upper country OF
Georgia was sixty years ago inhabited
by more peaceful and prosperous peo-
pie than the Cherokees. They, or their
friends in their behalf, appealed to the
supreme court of the United States
against the prosecutions of the Georgians,
and the supreme court made decree in

fused to execute it, and at length the
United States government was fairly
bullied by Georgia into removing the
lower or valley Cherokees to the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river, where
they now are.
This removal was made little more
than fifty years ago, and General Scott,
commanding the army of the United
States, conducted 1t. The mount
ain Cherokees remain in their
old home in western North
Carolina and eastern Tennessee,
and are there now. The title to their
lands is as good as the United States can
give, and unless the Cherokees desire to
yield them up, they should be allowed
to retain them.
Much of the early history of this coun-
try is discreditable, to say the least, to
the whites in their dealings with the
Indians, but this cannot be alleged in
extermation Of the stubbornness of the
present representatives of that once
powerful and still wealthy people. The
government does not propose or intend
to do them the slightest injustice, but
will defend their rights, as it must and
will its own.

A Georgia paper Of commendable dis
cernment asks the farmers and planters
of the south to consider the fact that the
$50 called robber tariff yielded $50, 600.
600 in 1888 for the protection of southern
products exclusively, embracing oranges,
lemons, rice. moiasses, sugar and tobac-
CO." When the fact Is more generally
known in the south that one-fourth of
the entire tariff revenue is for the pro-
lection Of crops which are raised in the
south alone, the free trade sentiment of
that section will be reduced to a mini
mum. Still, in the face of this, or with
these facts staring them in the face, it is
not altogether certain that the results of
elections in that section will be radically
different from what they have been
heretofore. The election in Kentucky
the other day, where the inducement
and provocatlon for change was as
strong as could well be imagined, trans
formed our credulity into skepticism, as
far as political changes are concerned.

on the occasion of the marriage Of Prince
Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig with the
daughter of the regning Duke Of Anhalt

carriers from the reign of Frederick Will

all made Of ribbed silk Of different colors,
braided with gold or silver, and many OF
them are finished off at both ends by

VERY HIGH TONED.

THE Pacific coast chamber of COM
merce organized in San Francisco.
last Tuesday. The San Francisco
chamber OF commerce and delegation
has, however, seen fit to withdraw be-
ing too high toned and exclusive to
suffer contamination with ordinary
everyday people from other parts of
the coast.
These kid-glove gentry are very
near sighted, and need toning down.
Yesterdays San Francisco Ea-
amt'1er gives them needed reproof;
it says:
"The Pacific coast chamber of COM
merce Is deibersting without the San
francisco delegates, who have with
drawn In accordance with the instruc-
ton of the local chambers.
We have never been able to
understand the reason for the
refusal OF our merchants to CO.
operate with other mercantile bodies
OF the coast, and Captain Merry's ex-
PLANTATION leaves us more in the dark
than ever. The San Francisco cham
Der OF commerce, in Captain Merry's
mind, seems to be q sort of mercantile
4OO," and its chief end in life is to
keep itself fittingly exclusive. 1t
would rather not get congressional
action for the benefit of our steam
ship lines, our harbor and our de-
lenses than to get them at the cost of
associating with people with whom
1t could not consistently cooperate.
1t breads the San Francisco bricklayer
more than subsidized Canadian cor
poration. If that is the spirit of our
merchants, they may well claim to
be conservatives, but they have not
reached their ideal yet. The mummies
OF Thebes are more conservative
still"
Meanwhile the coast conference goes
on while the home delegation sullenly
hold aloof.
Harmony in such matters is neces-
sary, and the snobbish action of the
San Francisco chamber of commerce
is in every way to be regretted.
