The anti-lottery bill has passed the
house and the Louisiana lottery il In q
fair way of being knocked out by gov
crnmcntal interference. The bill abso-
lutely prohibits the use of the mails for
any purpose whatever by any lottery
company. This not only prohibits all
advertising by circulars, but by news
papers as well, and further, will pre-
vent companies from using the mails
in paying prizes. 1t gives the lottery
business very black eye, if not a
Knockout blow. There is hardly a
doubt but that the Till will pass the
senate, though most formidable lobby
will oppose its passage. Public senti-
ment is so strong against the nefarious
swindle that the members dare not
vote against the measure. 1t is great
credit to the national honor that ma
tional legislation seems almost unani-
nous in rising to meet public senti-
ment in crushing out this giant octo-
pus. This action verifies another as
sertion often made that what public
sentiment demands public legislation
will effect.

The Arid Lands.

From the Review.
On the whole it can be said that the
repeal of the arid land withdrawal act
Of 1888 would be in the interest of the
public and the development of the
West. The proviso that no man shall
take more than 800 acres of land with
in the arid belt, while 1t may work a
hardship in isolated cases, is a wise
barrier against the selfish purposes of
a coterie Of spectators who have
shown their hand repeatedly since
the matter came before the present
congress. With proper vigilance this
proviso will check the attempt Of
wealthy syndicates to acquire the best
part of the arid lands of the West.
Their intentions should be thwartcd
1t would be better by far to allow the
government to withhold these lands
from settlement than to permit large
and rich corporations to gain possession
and tie the lands up for speculative
purposes. That such scheme was
contemplated there can be little doubt.
The lobby that has hung around con-
gress all summer; dstensibly in the in
terest of the poor settler and the devel-
opment Of the great West, was not
controlled by the ldftiest motives.
They have entwined their interests
with those of the well-meaning settler,
and congress has experienced consider
able difficulty in untangling the good
from the evil. The provision restrict
ing to 800 acres the amount of land to
be taken by one man meets the diff
Guilty, and with proper enforcement
will checkmate the spectators and
protect the interests of the entrymen
who is acting in good faith. Under
the present intelligent and vigorous
administration of the general land
Office, there is every reason to believe
that the arid lands will pass to actual
settlers, and that the water sources
and most valuable portions of the arid
belt will be safely protected against the
consplrators whose lobbyists have
made themselves entirely too con-
spicuous. AS the public domain be.
comes more and more limited with the
growth and development of the West
the high duty CT protecting the public
interests will come more and more
difficult, and the aggressions of specu'
lators more persistent and dangerous.

Idaho has been the subject recently
of much sincere congratulate OH many
subjects touching her present condition
and future prospects. The young State
is now to be congratulated upon the
fact that she enters upon her first polit-
ical campaign under peculiarly crafty
ing circumstances and auspices. For
the first time in the history of political
campaigns in Idaho the way seems
clear to the avoidance of personal issues
between candidates, at least it does not
now seem probable that there will be
any necessity for dragging much of the
ugly old past into sight, of reopening
old sores or of reviving many of the old
local issues, which were so much re-
lied upon and used by both parties dur
ing struggles in Territorial days. State
hood has elevated Idaho politics to a
higher plane, where the supreme inn
port..nce of discussing and acting upon
national questions and national issues
will leave neither time nor cause of be-
ing for controversies purely personal or
local. Candidates must, of course, be
subjects of just criticism touching their
character and fitness for the positions
to which they aspire; but in doing this
there need be none of the old time bit
terness or searching into tn. past for
matters of accusation and arraignment.

The people of Spokane Falls are pre-
pairing for an exposition in October,
that bids fair to eclipse anything of the
kind ever held in the Northwest. The
exposition building is considerably
larger than the building of the Indus
trial Fair Association in this city.
The managers have spent large sums In
advertising it in the East. AS an ex-
ample of this, a correspondent states
that 1900 large posters have been put
PIP in Brooklyn, and the city has in adj
'diti0n to this, been fairly flooded with
folders, circulars and other advertising
master, and the same policy has been
pursued in every city over 1000 inhab-
itants in the United States and Canada.
As a result, q large number of letters
are arriving every day, from distant
sections, asking exhibitors space in
the building. 1t is clear that If there
IL anything to be had by active busi-
meas soliciting and intelligent advertis-
ing. Spokane Falls is not going to be
left behind. That city has not entered
the race for prosperity to be distanced
by any rival, however aspiring, that
bases its future prospects on deep-wa-
ter frontage" Portland may learn
something to her advantage from the
energy displayed by this wonder city

There have been fewer forest fires In
the Northwest this season than for
many years past. The smoke that
usually renders the air offensive
through July and August has, as q con-
sequence, been absent, and this, added
to the fact that there have been but
few really hot days, has made the sum-
iner an unusually pleasant one. OF
course we are liable to have some ex.
perience with both smoke and heat in
September, but like the February
freeze, our people can console them
selves with the positive assurance that
It cannot last.-Oregonian.

The Indian Question.
pocntellO Tribune.

pocntelo Tribune.
AS this country advances and be-
comes more civilized, the question of a
sentimental Indian policy arises. 1t is
to be regretted that the Indian cannot
realize his position as al all-round
American. and try and better the con-
ditions of his race. As rule they
most invariably have the fairest spots
of the western mountain valleys and
plains. The government has made
every effort to encourage them to the
pursuits of agriculture, and vast
amounts of money are being paid out
annually to educate them. Go where
you may and out of the hundreds,
comprising the different tribes, only a
few display that disposition tending to
develop their country by production,
and then they neglect hat interest by
resorting to their old customs, and fin
ally their small fields are abandoned
for the hunting ground, and fertile
valleys left to be envied by the farmer
and home seeker.
These conditions must be changed,
and are being changed as fast as civil
ization crowds its way westard In
the republican convention held at
Cheyenne last week appears a plank
in their platform that fully covers the
ground on this important subject. 1t
Is as follows:
1--WE believe the Indian should be
compelled to confine his operations to
the reserve set aside for his use; that he
should be protected in the enjoyment
of all the rights accorded him by con-
gress; that he should be literally edu-
Gated and taught such occupations as
are consistent with his cognition and
capacity; but we are Internationally
opposed to sentimental policy that
accords the Indian the right of usur-
patton of the privileges and property
of the whites, thereby deterring imsni-
grafton and terrorizing settlers in the
vicinity Of Indian reservations; and we
also demand that such action be taken
bv the national government as will
guarantee to every settler his rights OF
occupation and enjoyment of the home
that his industry has erected"
The settlers all over the western
country adjacent to reservations have a
well founded kick to make this year.
The Indians are roaming all over the
country far from the limits of their
reserves, and trouble may be looked
for if they are not given to understand
that trespassing is strictly forbidden.
1t is the policy of the Republican party
to see that these abuses are corrected,
If such is the case, and to encourage
the necessity OF keeping the red men
where they belong, especially when
their leaving their reservation causes SO
much trouble to settlers as 1t has this
year.

A sublime fitness attaches to the
somewhat inelegant name by which
North Idaho Is sometimes designated,
the Panhandle. Politically speaking
we are destined to become the handle
Of the pan. As frying pan is of little
utility without handle, so Idaho
would be seriously crippled without its
Panhandle. 1t was rightly looked
upon a. an unstatesmanlike scheme to
discard this important part Of Idaho by
hnnexing 1t to Washington; any

The modern magazine may he taken
as embodying the best literature of the
world, as the magazine editor pays the
highest prices to nOvelists, scientists,
statesmen, soldiers, and even kings
and princes, for the best they can fur.
nish in the literary line. The we'll
edited magazine becomes m educating
influence in the family circle, whose
importance cannot be ovcr-estimated.
The children, as they grow up, are at
tracted by its Illustrations, and so come
in time to have n taste for reading.
There is always something that is new,
something that is strange, something
that Is interesting; and we consider
that we are doing our readers posi-
tive benefit if we are instrumental in
placing such a publication within
their reach. The special arrangement
which we have made with the Cosmo-
politan presents very unusual induce
ments. That magazine, although only
in the tenth month under it's new
management, is already recognized as
one of the most interesting publica-
tons of the day. 1t is seeking sub
scribers everywhere and obtaining
them. The proprietors believe that
the Cosmopolitan has only to be ex-
amincd to secure n permanent SUBJ
scribcr. That is why we are enabled
to make, if the offer is accepted before
January next, such very low rate, by
which our readers can obtain the Cos
mopoliton for little more than the cost
of this journal alone. Just think of
what the combination means! You
obtain your own home journal at about
the regular price, and have thrown in
a magazine which gives you, in year.

The remains of Captain John Erics-
son, the great Swedish-Anierican, were
embarked with military and civil hon
ors for Sweden Saturday, the United
States steamer Enterprise conveying
them hence. The government in hon
oring Ericsson honors itself. Aside
from his wonderful genius, which
transformed the entire naval equip
ment Of the civilized world, the skill
and inventive power of Ericsson came
to the relief of this nation when, sorely
pressed on land and defied at sea, she
had not an armored battleship to OPP
pose the formidable rebel ram which
bore down upon her wooden ships of
war on that awful day when they lay
at anchor in Hampton Roads, practi-
cally defenseless, and prevented their
humiliation. The terrible apprehen-
sion that filed the.hearts of the people
as the peril of the fleet became known,
and the exultation that supplanted it
when the story of the Monitors won
derful achievement in beating back the
vessel that the rebels had deemed in
vincible, are among the we'll remem-
bered features Of the great struggle. A
brave man, u man of unbounded ener-
gy, of ingenius mind, of loyal heart,
was Ericsson, and the land that gave
him birth and the land that made him
its own by adoption each does well in
honoring his genius and acknowledge
ing his worth.-Oregonian.

| slowly growing smaller, and will probably
| disappear within another century. The
world at large knows something of these
strange people through the visits of two
ethnologists who managed to reach the ice
bound coast, and af5erward published their
discoveries, but it has been reserved for
one of the AnGmagsshks TO tell the story OF
her kinsmen in detail.
Seventeen years ago some Icelandic sailors
were wrecked at AngInagsahk ana given
kindly reception. After recUperating they
decided TO make an attempt TO reach home
overland and by means OF the ocean ice
foes They urged their hosts TO leave the
desolate valley and accompany them. One
only resolved TO essay the venture. He
got together his wife, his two sons, his
daughter, his dogs and sleds, and started
with the sailor strangers. After terrible
suifeTings the band succeeded in reaching
Iceland, but the climate of that bleak
island proved too mild for the Greenland
exile and his family, and all died save the
girl, who was then Is years of age. She
was adopted by some charitable people,
who educated her, gave her the name of
Olof Krarer, and took her with them when
they emigrated to Manitoba.
Miss Krarer recently lectured before a
church society at Chicago on the subject
of her native land, and created a genuine
surprise She is 80 inches tall and weighs
40 pounds Her English is excellent with
one exception-she cannot utter the Ssh

Angmagsalik women have a monotonous
sort of life. No sweeping, cooking, dust
ing or washing is done. The unvaryins
diet is frozen raw meat or fish The peo-
pie never wash, but sometimes grease
themselves with whale oil Winter is
spent in turf and stone huts, and the sum-
mer in tents. Religion and law are I'M
known, but there exists sort of commun-
ism born of the exigencies ofthe situation.
When Miss Krarer reached Iceland in 1873
she was given a cake of SOAP which she
promptly ate. 1t was some time before
she could be induced to indulge in a bath.
