ZEAL AND IDEAL INDIAN.
How the Noble Child Of the Forest has
De9enerated and Becomes Terror to
the Whites.


the Whites.
1.-THE Ideal and the Real Indian
in the United States" was the sub
iect of Mr.. Donaldson's lecture
delivered recently. In opening his
address the speaker sketched the
history of the red man and said
their first impression Of the whites
was not pleasing and it hasn't
changed much since. Peaceful
and genial at first, they became
murderers and now show a great
decadence from their ancestors.
The lecturer told how they roam
about free az the air, welcoming
death, but resisting civilization and
with the horse their inseparable
companion.
War, theft and laziness are char
acteristics Of the male, while work
is done by the squaws. Their
wants are comparatively few and
easily supplied, game being in
abundance. They moved with the
seasons. The wild and free life
made them have no care for the
morrow. Nature conspired to
make the Indians wild natives and
there is little change now.
The Ideal indian of today Mr..
Donaldson characterized as q
serious problem. There are two
classes known to kmericans-the
ideal and the real. The ideal COM
mune with nature west of the Mis-.
souri, and have q great affection for
the pale face. The Indian of TO-
nance is constantly rescuing white
maidens from the bad men and
voracious beasts and handing them
over to lovers in tender speeches.
The ideal Indian is photographed
for spectacular purposes, carrying
about him thousands of dollars
worth Of jewelry, courts dusky
maidens in the moonlight and
whispers tales Of love in the woods.
In reality he wears cast-off cloth
ing and is in tatters. The ideal
Indian is made to say "Ugh!" in
dime novels and has steeds of price.
less value. He usually lunches on
q dozen white men whom he has
slain for attempting to rob him,
and is a walking arsenal, which he
uses against defenselcss women.
The ideal Indian is a peerless hero
and possesses all the virtues known
in human being.
THE IDEAL INDIAN DOES NOT EXIST.
The lecturer proceeded to show
that the ideal Indian does not exist,
and such an individual never exist
cd. The real Indian as a class,
Mr.. Donaldson continued, is a cow

murderer, brute to women,
drunkard when he gets the means

one day against the whites and the
next day with them, simply to take
a hand in the killing.
AS individuals they have one vir-
tue which the whites would do we'll
to initiate. He reviewed their dress
and said that buckskins are now a
rarity. There was one Indian he
knew of who wore a dress coat but.
toned in back, a high hat and large
cane. His dress was startling and
he became the enemy of the tribe.
One night he was murdered and
the next day an Indian appeared
wearing the same costume.
The real indian is filthy, eats

uncleanly and wears his clothes

Cattle have their grazing ground and their

GENERAL GoRpoN,s ArrEAL.

IN another column this morning Is publish
Ell for the first time the eloquent appeal
OF General John b. Gordon, OF Georgia,
commander of the United Confederate
Veterans Of tho South. urging the forma-
ton of camps in ell the Southern States
OF the benevolent Social and Histori-
cal Organization of United Confederate Vet
erans" The object of this organization is TO
band together the surviving heroes OF tho
South their sympathizers and descendants,
ilto body for the preservation Of the men,
DRY of the glorious deeds Of the South IN her
war for tho maintenance OF the true princi-
pie OF the Constitution of the Republic; the
taking care Of the families Of Confederate
veterans whoarc minced Of assistance, and the
general instruction and cultivation OF the
minds Of the descendants Of those who died
in defense Of Southern rights
The mere mention Of the purposes OF TINS
organization should be enough 20 arouse
Southern patriotism to is highest pitch.
That the deeds Of those who fought for the
South and their memories are fast passing
Ggay into oblivion OF indifference cannot be
evidenced more strongly than by the recent
action Of the Legislature Of Georgia-General
Gordon's own State-in refusing TO provide for
and maintain home for Confederate
veterans. even although that home was butt
without cost 20 the State. and was offered 10
Il as a free gift. There could be nothing moro
convincing 10 show that in this money-making
age. when everything like sentiment no
matter how sacred is sneered at there -
great danger that the memories Of the heroes
of the South will be consigned 10 the dead
past as things only worthy of being buried,
and that the history of the South will be IN
conditionally surrendered into the hands Of
the most malignant Of her enemies and ira
ducers.
1t should mover for q moment cease TO be
impressed on the minds Of growing gen
erations that the South did not fight for what
she believed" to he right but for what she
knew" to be right. IL was very unfortunate
that negro slavery was the motive power
which forced her into asserting the
principles of States rights and constitutional
liberty for which she contended, because
that placed her in a false position IN the eyes
of the world 1t only happened that slavery
was the prime cause of her asserting her
rights. and even had she consented 70 aban-
don slavery forever, as she in time would
have done. the principles by which she was
actuated would have remained, for they still
remain and will remain so long as this Fed
eral republic exists.

organization proposes 10 accomplish. and no

The Sulphur Treatment of Diphtheria.
Editor Times:

Your reporter who accompanied the Board
of Health upon Its tour OF inspection few
DAYS ago deserves the thanks OF the cOmmu
nifty for having written strongly and clearly
upon that important topic, but he concluded
his article on the subject with the recon-
mendation Of sulphur mixed with water as a
remedy for the disease IL question.
SO far, very well. for If il does not do good
it can hardly do harm unless given with sub
stances with which it is incompatible chemi-
cally: but he goes on TO say if the child is So
weak that no cannot swallow its face should
be held over burning sulphur that the fumes
may be inhaled which will certainly cure IL.
This last would certainly be o. most danger
ous expedent, as the fumes OF burn
ing sulphur are very irritating and
would cut off the small amount of oxygen
in the fresh air that could be breathed in such
an extremity. If YOU are at all skeptical on
this subject just let the editorial nose be held
over O little ignited sulphur, not that like to
make unpleasant illusions TO possible fu-
ture. but TO very clearly illustrate the fact that
it is quite unbearable. Yours very truly.

II IS e rather remarkable fact that corn has

Of the European world are urging the common
