Amid great excitement the House of Re-
presentatives at Baton Rouge La, passed

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-07-22

PoL1T1CAL trouble seems to be brew
ing in the southeast Of Europe. Russia
has renewed her demand on Turkey for
the payment of the last war indemnity
long since overdue. It is scarcely within
the limits of possibility that the Russian
government expects compliance with
this demand. Most probably, it is SIM
ply pretext for renewed interference
in the Balkan states. Any movement of
that kind, tending to Russia's aggrand-
izement in that quarter, is bound to pro-
yoke Austria's instant resentment, and
the provisions Of the dreibund or triple
alliance between Germany, Austria and
Italy would range against the govern
ment of the tsar trio Of very powerful
opponents. In face of internal dissen
sions and national bankruptcy, it is diff
ficult to believe that the tsar's advisers
actually mean war, and even game of
political bluff can scarcely be carried on
without the probability Of such result.
No move of any Importance, however, is
likely to precede the approaching meet
ing of the kaiser and the tsar. The
conference of the two potentates will
decide whether the present international
difficulties can be tided over for the
present, or the floodgates of war b.
thrown wide open.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-07-22
but it is the democratic, not the repub-
lican policy. We remind Mr.. Blaine OF
very interesting old saying: It is never
too late to mend"

The glittering gewgaws and titles OF
an aristocratic court possess a wonderful
attraction for the mass of womankind.
Such, at least, must be the conclusion
of the average American male, who can
scarcely read his morning newspaper
nowadays without discovering that some
fair, Young countrywoman has battered
her beauty and her wealth for title
and the prospects Of early widowhood.
But feminine independence and demo-
cratic principle are not wholly gone.
There is, at least, one American woman
who, despising the matrimonial ladder
to title and honors, has won for herself
alone the power and dignity of an actual
sovereign. The name Of her realm is
New Britain, and Victoria's rival in the
Southern Pacific is Emma Forsythe; the
"White Queen" her subjects call her.
Although left widow at the early age
of Is and possessed Of very little prop
erty, she now owns 10000 acres OF land
on the fertile South Sea islands, two
steamships engaged in foreign traffic,
and is preparing to close contract for
the building of four more vessels for
island trade. Her chief source Of revenue
is mother-of-pearl, Of which her island
furnished last year 100 tons. For
woman gifted with such remarkable
energy and administrative power, the
foreign princeling or languorous duke
can possess no attractions. An Ameri-
can must be her consort. There's your
chance, boys.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
The Government Indian Inspector Now
Helena,

The Government Indian Inspector Now in
Helena.
Mai. Robert s. Gardener, government
Indian inspector, is among the city's visit
ors. Mai. Gardener is we'll known to old
timers, and his Montana experiences date
back to 1857, when he was in the employ of
the American Fur company. In that year
he made a trip up the Missouri to Fort
Benton. He has been Indian inspector
since 1879, and is therefore familiar with
the Indian affairs of Uncle Sans domain,
and conversation with him is both in
structive and entertaining. The major has
been inspecting the Indian agencies in the
eastern part of Montana, and reports hav-
ing found the condition of the Cheyenne
Indians as reported-with very little to eat.
While he was at the agency they were pro-
vided with ffty-six head of beef cattle.
They are now quiet and orderly and il the
passes, they will be we'll provided
for. speaking of Agent Upshaw, who has
been succeeded by JAS. A. Cooper, of Win
field, Kans.. the major says he was totally
unfit for the position aud his resigning al
for his removal.
OF Indians in general Major Gardener
the most industrious, particularly those Of
| Washington. He finds that the Montans
Indians are inclined to be indolent, particu
larly those of the Tongue river, while from
the Flathead country west they grow more
Industrious. There are fifty six Indiar
| agencies in the United States but this does
not signify the different number of tribes
which are many more. He says the Siou1
Indians are the finest specimens of human
ity among the redskins, while the richest
nation is the Osages, of Indian territory
They are only about 1.55O in number, YET
they have to their credit in the United
States treasury. $s,OOO,0O0, the Interest
and which amounts to about $500, OOO This
money was derived by the sale of lands to
the government at Is cents an acre, and still
they have two and one-half million acres.
The government still owes millions of dol
lars to Indians for lands and in this con-
nection he says that the public impression
generally is that when an appropriation ia
made for Indians it is gift. while in fact
it is only partial liquidation of the debt Of
the government made by treaty with the
Indians. OF schools among Indians he sayl
the number is constantly increasing, anl
the intelligence and civilization of tn
tribes, correspondingly advancing. Majol
Gardener will leave in day or two to con
| tinue his tour of inspection, his presen
route being west.

Ex-SEcRErARY WHITNEY promptly de-
MES that he will be candidate for gov
ernor of New York as a stepping stone
to the presidency in 1892. He predicts
that Roswell P. Flower will be nomi-
mated by reclamation for governor, and
that Cleveland will be the choice Of the
state for president. Republican efforts
to make it appear that there are great
disturbances in the democratic camp in
New York are vain. The democrats Of
the Empire state will Loyalty support the
democratic nominee for president ir
1892, whoever he may be.
