There is hardly anything more
disgusting than 10 see man, be-
cause he happen to have small
amount Of Indian blood IN his
veins, giving vent to q great
amount of spite and venom against
non-ctizens in general, without
any sufficient provocation. Non
citizens that are legally residing
amongst us deserve better treat
ment. There viii never be a time
when we Will not have permitted
white men in this country, nor do
we want to see such a time. The
man who comes into the country
as a permitted laborer should be
treated with due courtesy. The
simple fact that a man is a citizen,
while it gives certain rights, does
not make one man any better than
another, neither does the posses

not breathe their principles with

the white and Indian race is more

really effective Indian policy
The government is protecting
and supporting the various tribes,
and each one OF them has its own
laws and officers, and prolongs the
sembance of It's former strength
and glory in way that is utterly
inconsistent with its present state
OF decay and dependence. If the
tribal relations were dissolved the
tribal sense of haughtiness and
prejudice would soon disappear,
and the influence of education and
association would have a far bet
ter chance Of success. IL is easy
to understand that satisfactory re-
suits cannot be expected where
the Indians are permitted to re-
tain all of their peculiar forms,
ceremonies and regulations. They
are certain to give preference OF re-
specl and obedience to their own
governmental agents and appli-
ances, and that inspires a danger
ous attitude on their part, as well
as a continual obstruction to the
work OF teaching them the lessons
of industry and morality. The
Indian wars have their origin
mostly in the blunder Of humoring
this tribal sovereignty, and help.
ing the chiefs to maintain their
authority These leading men of
the different tribes are all enemies
Of the policy Of civilization, and
would like to see it fail. They
keep alive the warlike instinct Of
the race, and do all they can to
discourage the adoption Of the art
Of peace. 1t is to the interest Of
the government as well rs to the
Indians that these Scheming and
mischevious indlvividuals should
be deprived of their power, and
the only way to reach the results
is to abolish the tribal relation,
and let the laws Of the United
States have direct and complete
sway over all the tribes and res
ervations.

NOT FAIRLY STATED.

Elsewhere in this paper appears
an editorial clipping from the
Globe Democrat of the 18th inst.
in which the tribal relation Of In.
dians is considered At some length.
While the position of Senator
Dawes is far from being correct,
the Globe Democrats editorial
comment is also Incorrect 1t is
asked that The tribal relations be
abolished for the purpose of de-
stroying the authority Of the chiefs.
Now who are the chiefs, that their
authority must be destroyed? The
chiefs OF the five tribes are men nc.
eupying similar positions to those
OF the governors OF the states.
They have no authority save that
which the Office confers. They
are elected by the popular vote Of
the people, and have no authority
that is absolute or in any way to
be feared. The five tribes should
no longer be called tribes, but in
telligent, progressive American
citizens rather. When Senator
Dawes speaks of 250,O0O Indians
being turned lose upon the prairies
be leaves the impression upon the
casual reader chat The Indian was
under guard or was in some sense
deprived Of his liberty. Just how
well satisfied the Iudiaa is with
his surroundings is illustrated by
Senator Bells retort TO the Chero
kee commission Two years ago
when that body dfstvisited Table

Outlet. At a meeting of the two
commissinns, during the long and
tiresome negotiations, Col WILSON !
said to the Cherokees, "What do
you wanl?' Bells reply was,
we want to be let alone. 1t is
unfair to assume that the United /
States is protecting and support
ing the Indians, and to be let alone /
is a consummation devoutly to be /
wished OF the FIVE tribes, prob

INDIAN TRIBAL RELATIONS.

INDIAN Tribal RELATIONS.
Globe Democrat
Senator Dawes expresses the
view that no more general legisla-
tion is needed regarding the statues
Of the Indian, bat that the presant
laws can be depended upon 10 solve
the problem IN the due course of
time He is particularly hostile to
the idea of abolishing the tribal
relations. II would never do. he de-
clares, tp throw 250. 600 indians out
of their present relations: lit
would simply be turning flock
of sheep loose on the prairie with
no one 90 cafe for them " The
Senator's comparison is not a good
one He presents the case in an
uncandid way. and conveys a
wrong impression OF the policy
that ha opposes. Nobody pro-
poses TO turn ihe Indians loose
like sheep on the prairie. u is
only asked that their tribal rela-
tone be abolished for the purpose
of destroying lhe authority of the
chiefs and promoting a feeling Of
loyalty 10 the government Under
present conditions All of the old
Indian customs aud superstitions
are preserved, and the chiefs make
it a point to encourage the spirit
OF inherited emniiy toward the

Swiss Nobility.

A few years ago the question was
asked, docs nobility still exist in
Switzerland? Z" And no one was able to
answer it. OF all the thousand of Eng
lish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels in
summer not one, it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph Won
Erlach, whose equestrian statue they
must have seen, has any living descen-
dants; not one had ever heard Of the
Barnese nobility noblesse which holds
Itself so high that it thinks but slightly
Of the British legation. Yet from the
Jura TO the Lugano there is hardly q
canton-there Is perhaps no canton
in which noble families are not to be
found.
Some of these, such as the Plantas
and the Buols Of the Grabunden, have
turned their energy into modern chan
nels and make their fortunes, like the
Hausers or the Sellers, out Of the Eng
lish and the American tourists. Others,
like the Won Allmen, have sunk into q
humber rank. But the greater part re-
main in statu quo, still enjoying in the
towns or in the country social pres
tige that varies with their wealth and
their intelligence.-Temple Bar.

II was in q high priced restaurant.
They were discussing the characters in
which Booth had been most successful,
and the young man with blond mus
tache was satisfied that Hamlet was by
far his best part.
''If you ever saw him in that part
when he was at his BEST" he said, "you
wouldn't dispute the assertion for a mo-
ment."
"Saw himr exclaimed the man with
the dark beard scornfully. "Pve seen
him in about everything he ever played.
Why, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some of his other characters. His
Othello was better than his Hamlet, and
his Macbeth"-
"Macbethr broke in the young man
with the blond mustache. why, that
wasn't up to Romeo, and that's saying 3
good deal. His Shylock was better than
his Othello."
Every one in earshot was interested by
this time, but just as the man with the
dark beard was beginning a scathing
retort with some side remarks about the
"Foors Revenge" the little fellow with

said:

How the Continents Attrac. Seas.

The effect of gravitation in heaping up
the sea waters upon the shores OF CONT
nents is one of the most interesting, as
well as the most curious and least con-
sidered, facts in connection with old
oceans history. Thus the continents
are all situated at tops Of great hills or
mountains of water, and to cross the At
lantic or any other ocean the ship has
to first go down the sloping sheet, cross
the valley and then climb the noun
tain of water on the other side before il
safely reaches harbor.
In this connection the interesting cal
culation has been made that In mid
ocean on the Atlantic the depression is
about three-fourths of a mile below the
level of the water at coast line, while q
ship in travelling from San Francisco to
Yokohama, Japan, must cross valley

Early Methode Of CURING skins.

The original process of curing skins
was probably the simple one of cleaning
and drying them. Removal Of the hair
by maceration in water seems to have
been common among the very early
tribes, and one writer has suggested
that the idea was obtained from the
natural process of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
it in the case Of drowned animals, where
maceration can be plainly observed.
Following this, smoke, sour milk, oil,
and the brains of the animals themselves
were found efficacious. Many Of these
primitive methods are employed at the
present time, thus bringing into novel
