A DiSgraceful Exposure.

CHICAGO, April 12.-The Daily News, which
supported Mayor Cregier in his candidacy,
devotes an entire page to an expose of gamb-
ling in this city, which it says is going on
more openly and more generally than ever
before. 1t estimates that the receipts of the
gambling houses in this city aggregate S1O,-
10000 year. 1t AYERS that syndicate of
gamblers controls all of these houses, but
that Mike Mcdonald is the head of it and
received 90 per cent. of the receipts for keep
ing the police from making raids: that if the
money is not paid in any instance, the police
proceed to raid the house of the delinquent
until he succumbs. Out OF this 90 per cent.
it is assumed that sum estimated as high
aS $5OO,OOO per annum is paid to members of
the administration for immunity from police
interference.

GUTHRIE, l. T., April 12.-The soldiers
have evidently expelled all the boomers from
the Cherokee strip. Company G, of the Fifth
to Fort Reno, from the eastern portion Of
the strip, where it had been sent at the time
of the reported invasion by settlers. Captain
Hays says that he found only few settlers,
and they were not aware of the fact that they
had no right on the land. He thinks that the
recent attempt to settle the strip was for the
purpose of finding out if the government
would interfere, the belief having become
general that nothing would prevent settle
ment. He thinks that the whole affair has
been greatly exaggerated, and states further,
that no military posts will be established in
the strip, as first contemplated.

TILE NEZ PERCES.

The fierce hatred that burns In
the revongeful breasts Of the Nez
Perce Indians owes its origin to an
act Of cruelty perpetrated by a white
man more than three-fourths Of
century ago. The memory of that
fatal sowing has nearly vanished
from the minds of the whites, and
probably from the minds of the
Indians too. Yet.the latter have in
herited burning hatred from their
fathers, and beyond question 1t is
the source Of every bloody outbreak
and cruel foray that has been com.
mitted by these Indians since the
whites came into the country.
When the first explorers and
trappers crossed the Rocky mount
aims In the dawn OF the present
century, they found the Nez Perces
simple-minded and peaceable
tribe, hospitable and even kind.
Their hospitality formed an agreea.
BILE contrast to the treacherous and
cruel character Of the Crows and
the Sioux, who inhabited the wild
region lying between the Rocky
mountains upon the west and the
Missouri river upon the east. They
fraternizcd with the trappers, and
for u number of years this friend
ship was un nbroken. In 1911 one
of the Scotch partners In the Astor
Fur Company, with a small party
Of whites. encamped with q large
band of Nez Perces In what Is now
the state of Idaho. He foolishly
carried with him, TO impress the In
dlans with his wealth and impor-
tance, u solid silver drinking cup,
which ho displayed with great
deal Of pride and vanity. Its value
proved too strong q temptation to
one of the warriors of the band,
and in the night 1t disappeared

rality OF wives, their ill.concealed
hostility to the authority Of the
state and national governments,
and their system of taxation, were
they not committed In the name of
religious belief? Is the enormlty of
the onensc In any wise mitigated by
the existence of an Ignorant and
seditlous priesthood? Is not the
menace intensified by the hier-
archal character of the organization?
Why should the authorities deal
more lcniontly with class Of peo-
pie who practice bigamy In the
name of religion than they would
deal with band Of cattle thieves
who might elect to steal stock In
the name OF religion, or band Of
pickpockets who might ply their
ncfarlous trade with Bible in their
hand? For all that, however, pub
lie sentiment Is sufficiently tlnged
with maudlin sentiment to afford
Mormonlsm degree Of protection
that II fails to merit.
Probably Bishop Bulge will fall
into the trap that the republicans
have adroitly set for his holiness,
and raise plea Of religious persecu-
tion for political effect. That would
hardly help the democracy of Idaho,
for that party would thus be forced
into the unenviable attitude of SYM
pathizing with the Mormon hier-
archy. This is clearly the
purpose of the republicans. 1t
Is improbable that Bulge
will ever be convicted, because 1t is
next to impossible to question a
mans motives In court. If 800 or
1000 Mormons chose to disavow all
connection with the church prior to
an election, in order to exercise the
privilege of voting, only imme-
diately to backslide into the taber-
nacle after the election has been
held, how can their motives be
questioned in order to convict them
Of perjury? A man is certainly ell
titled under the constitution and
laws of the land to hold himself
open to conviction, to renounce his
church one day and to renew its al
legiance tho next. The fact that
Bishop Budgo has been arrested on
a charge of conspiracy indicates that
the authorities of Idaho recognize
this difficulty. A charge of con-
spiracy would he easier to substan-
tiate than charge Of perjury.
In many respects the problem is
an interesting one, and Its outcome
will be awaited with more than or
dinary interest.

EXIT BOULANGER.

The Paris Figaro is putting the
finishing touches to NJ. Boulaugcr,
the coup de grace, as a Frenchman
would say. Its revelations are over
whelming, and constitute a stroke
of journalism that seems more
American than European. From
first to last II has been plain to
an observer of French politics that
Boulanger was merely the vain
puppet by which the claimants to
the French throne hoped to over
throw the republic. Proofs were
hardly necessary to strengthen this
belief.
Boulanger and his organs have
practically confessed his guilt. The
retort to the charges of Madame
Duzez, that she was once in love
with Boulanger, is no answer at
all. The madame says she has let
ters compromising the general s.
loyalism. To this there could be
only one convincing reply-an i'm
mediate call for the publication OF
the letters, and a counter allegation
against the woman is worse than
absolute silence.
If any proof were wanted to estab-
| lish the weakness of this man Bou-
langer, 1t is found in his own words
of weary petulance, wherein he adj
mits that he has been deceived and
made Use of by everyone. That Is q
confession of weakness that may
gain the confessor little sympathy
and pity, but it certainly will not
add to tho respect of the public.
Great men are never compelled to
make such admissions.
Yet a little more than n year ago
this man was the idol OF large por-
tion of the French people. His life
and downfall add fresh proof to the
well established proposition that the
people seldom worship live
hero. They give their plaudits and
their laurels TO cheap men alive, and
allow true greatness and merit To
await posthumous honors. 1t il 80
in France, and it Is so in America.
The rabble eye is caught by chea p
show, the intellect is charmed by
true greatness, but too often awaits
till the clods have fallen upon
the coffin of the patriot and
the statesman. Mr.. McClel-
Ian was the idol of the nation in war
times, while Lincoln, and Grant,
and sherman were objects of mis-
trust and had to fight out their bat
ties in the face of susp lcion and pos
tive opposition ut their back as we'll

MINERAL LANDS EXEMPT.

The withdrawal OF all mineral
lands from the Northern Pacific
grant continues to attract the at
tention of mining prospectors, spec
ulators and all others who are in
terested in seeing mineral lands
thrown open to entry under the
mining laws of the United States.
That something will be done in
this matter at once seems q GER
tainty. Public sentiment demands
II ard both houses Of congress un-
doubtedly sanction 1t. Senator
Plumb, of the committee on public
lands, has made report to the et-
feet that railroad land grants do not
include mineral lands, and as strong
Influences are being brought 20
bear upon the question, there seems
to be no doubt of immediate action
being taken.
In the Northwest a large number
Of mining claims have already been
located on land supposed to have
been included in the Northern
Pacific grant, land which but for the
presence Of mineral. would have been
so included. Favorable action by
congress on this question will enable
these locators to acquire perfect and
undisputed title to the claims which
many of them have begun to de.
velop. 1t will also open up Other
lands to the prospector and give
many poor miner an opportunity
to prospect for the fortune for which
he has heretofore vainly sought.
The railroad company will lose
nothing If these lands are opened up
to public entry, for there seems To
be no disposition on the part of the
government to do the company an
Injustice. Other lands will per.
haps be given in lieu Of those with.
drawn, and rs tho development ol
additional mineral lands will ma
terially increase the business of the
road, the Northern Pacific company
will In reality be benefited by this
step, and the wiscst course 1t can
pursue is to accept the situation
gracefully, and reiinquish all rights
to the mineral lands that seemingly
constituted part Of its grant.

OF MUTUAL ADVANTAGE.

Probably the most advanced in
civilization of any of the tribes
west of the Rocky mountains are
the Cnur d'Alcne Indians, whose
reservation embraces not only some
Of the most fertile lands of Idaho,
but some of the most extensive and
valuable mineral lodges as we'll.
Through the effortsof Representa-
tive Wilson large portion Of the
northern part OF this reservation
will probably be thrown open to
settlement before long, the bill to
this end having been favorably
recommended by the committee on
Indian affairs.
While the land which 1t is pro-
posed to cede to the United States is
of great value to tho Indians, II
does not contain q single cultivated
farm, and the equivalent which
they will receive from the cession OF
these lands will be of still greater
value TO them than the lands Them
selves, while to the citizens of the
states of Washington and Idaho
they will prove ofinestimable value,
when the rich mineral lodges arc
developed, the valuable forests In.

THE FALL OUTLOOK.

Spokane's financial and CONNER
cial outlook Ia excellent. 1t was
never better. Business is gaining I'm
volume and briskness with the ap-
proach of autumn, collections are
easily made, and the stringency in
the money market, 80 general
throughout the United States, ac.
cording to the reports of local bank
ers, Is giving way to an easier circu-
latiop. AS a matter of fact, there
has been no lack of money in Spo-
KANE this summer for the needs of
actukf business. Bankers have
frowbed upon demands for real
estate speculation, however, and
have thus steered the city clear of
the boom methods so popular in a
number of Western cities. Still the
volume of land sales has been
healthy, and the years record will
be entirely satisfactory to the gen
eral public. The demand for real
estate. however, has been largely
from class desiring land for build
ing purposes.
Spokane's claims upon Eastern
capitalists and investors have been
fortified by the census returns. a
minutes study of these returns Is
both gratifying and convincing, In
order to understand the situation
clearly, II must lie considered that
Spokane Falls Is the sole commercial
and financial center Of Eastern
Washington and Northern Idaho.
Within the region lying east of the
Cascade mountains, the census
shows population Of 10000.
Northern Idaho, which is tributary
to this city, has a population of nj
least 10000. This gives a total oi
$50, 900 people residing within the re.
gion surrounding Spokane. The
city, according to the census, has
%, 900 inhabitants. In other words,
only one.sixth Of the population OF
this rich section dwells In the com,
mercial center OF that district
Without desiring In the smallest
degree to detract from the prosper.
ity and prospects of Western Wash,
ington, for that is truly section
rich In natural resources and fa
vored OF nature, one can not avoid
reading the comparative lesson
taught by the census returns. In
Western Washington, with a popu
lation Of 220, 900, are two rival COM
mercial centers, with an aggregat,
population OF more than 10000. In
other words, more than n third o
the people Of Western Washington
actually reside in Its commercial
