nal, "One day this week the session

In the opinion of the Journal, IL would
be a good idea to fix the pay Of the

eight hours and then 'dock" them for

proposition with favor. Judging from

John Ruskin had readers forty-eight
years ago, His first work gave him
fame IN n student n critic of art.
The fact that he Is insane has lately
been announced. The comment of
those whom his career interests will be
that his whole life has been SO eccentric
as to have run nearly its entire length
close to the line that separates mental
oddity from outright insanity. Mr..
Ruskin easily ranks as master i'm the
field of modern art criticism. Ills
genius i'm the realm Of art manifested
itself i'm much that mankind deems alb
surd when he applied it in volumes
having discursive range i'm h field of
science, politics, theology n political
economy. Mr.. Ruskin was as i'll

indeed that u mind which has done SO

lapse into darkness.

JhE CASE OF PHILIP.

This part OF the world does not recOE-
nize the existence of u being known as
u good Indian. The West cannot be
made to believe that this earth has any
use for the dusky vagabOnds who cum
Der the country by their presence. The
good Indian is not known in these
parts. His reputation for goodness
lodges with gentle souls in distant mis-
siOnary societies, who picture the Indian
as tradition says he used to be or who
imagine him rs they fancy he ought to
be, but who do not see him AS he is.
Probably the sentiment entertained
toward the Indian by people of this
western world amounts To prejudice.
IL that is true, 1t is easy to account for
the prejudice: and that the Indian has
few friends among the people of the
Northwest, is not strange. At the
same time, the sense of justice and of
fair dealing toward even the meanest
of Gods creatures is always SUR to
manifest itself toward the Indian,
when occasion calls for it. even among
those who have least u for liking
him. When death Overtakes an Indian
in domestic broils. by accident on
mountain or stream or by any of this
worlds ten thousand mishaps. our peo-
pie see a smiling face behind the
frOwning providence, admit that the
Indians loss il our eternal gain. and
bow before the visitation without a
murmur.
But it is a different thing when our
law lays heavy hand on an offending
red man and asserts its majesty i'm his
punishment. When this happens,
united public sentiment demands that
the offender be guaranteed all the safe
guards that law provides for any citi-
zen of the republic. This sentiment
noticeably manifests itself toward
Philip. the Indian" whose ease has
awakened deep interest among the
people of Missoula, and who will be
hanged ten days hence il the laws de-
cree is carried into effect. There is "a
feeling among the people i'm Missoula
that, after all, the case against Philip
is not altogether AS clear AS it ought
perhaps to be. The STANDARD does
not presume tn pass Judgment on tina
point: il is willing always to take the
Judgment of twelve good men and
abide by it. Under the new constitu-
ton of Montana, men must seek escape
from the scaffold through the agency
of II board of pardons which loo not
yet exist, SO that the Missoula Indian
has one avenue of possible escape shut
against him.
The case of this convict has attracted
attention to an unusual degree. We
refer tn il and to the earnest effort
made in his behalf, merely to show how
soon all prejudice against the Indian
fades when once he is brought under
the operation of law which, by the de-
mand Of public opinion, must be un-
erring. however humble or despised the
being against whom its DEGREES are en-
forced.
