JUKrICE TO roOR LO.

tits gratifying to know that poor Lo
has some friends among the whites who
are strong enough TO make themselves
heard in demanding fair play and JUS
tice for him. The Indian Rights Asso-
citation has issued a pamphlet opposing
the proposed removal of the Ute In
diens Of Southern Colorado to
reservation in Utah. The Asso-
citation certainly has justice on its side
% the question, while the other side is
represented by certain selfish interests
which desire to get possession Of these
6Be arabic lands on the ground that
they are ''too good for the indians"
The wise aud just policy Of the Gov
eminent has been to settle ST Indians
on lands which they now occupy when
such lands are fitted to render them
seli-supporting, aud to open up to white
settlement surplus Indian lands after
the Indians have received their settle
uents in severalty under the Severalty
act. In this policy there is certainly
substantial justice both for the white
man and the Indian.
The clique which desires to get pos
session OF the Colorado reservation
would reverse this policy Of civilization
and drive the Indians now occupying
these lands back to outlawry and hope
less sayagry. The Associations pamph-
let shows that the proposed reservation
In Utah consists largely Of wild noun
famous lands, admirably suited as 4
home and fortress for outlaws, such as
it would tempt these Indians TO become
and from which they could not be dis
lodged by troops except at great eX-
pense Of life and money, and that fits i'll
suited for settling and civ.liziug Indians.
II Uncle Sam plays fair with his red
skin wards he will do as ne has PROM
ised and give the Indians enough good
land 20 support them, aud then divide
the surplus among white settlers.

DEMANDS EGANS RECALL.
Representative Arnold Presents Reso-
luton Looking to That had.


WASHINGTON, D. c., February IA
demand for the recall of Minister Egan
has again been made, but this time IL
does not come from the republic OF
Chile. A Democratic member OF Con-
Cress is the person who seeks to bring
such a request officially to the attention
of President Harrison, and 1t is no secret
in Democratic quarters that the politi-
cal ACCESSIBILITY OF introducing resolu-
tion providing for an inquiry into MIN
lister Egan's conduct Is being discussed,
and that such resolution may be pre-
scented at any time.
OF course such en- investigation Is
made by the House Committee on For
eign Affairs and the Republicans who
have spoken on the subject say that
such an investigation will be courted
bv Mr.. Egan's friends as a step which
Will lead TO the total vindication OF the
United States representative to Chile.
In an interview, tonight, Mr. Arnold,
of Missouri, VINO presented the resolu-
tion said:
II think on the surface Of our cores
pondence with Chile that while there
may have been cause for war there
was really never any probability of hos
tilities between This government and
that country. The apology OF the lat
ter, coming as il did, so closely on the
heels Of the Presidents message, l will
not say indicates duplicity on the part
of our government, but evinceS undue
haste. That, however, is. not. germane
m rha SDirit Of the resolution. lnterna-
tional courtesy demands, especially in
this instance, the withdrawal Of any
obnoxious minister, such as Mr.. Egan
appears to be in the estimation Of the
people OF Chile.
MY resolution is not intended to be
disrespectful to the President but is
merely to call his attention to the pub
lie opinion Of this country which is all
that the proprieties of the occasion de-
maud the recall Of Minister Egan."
Mr.. Arnold's resolution was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Good Black Ink.

No chemical black ink has yet been
made which will write black imme-
diately on exposure. The common
black ink is made Of nut gals, and is by
all odds the best ink ever made. Manu-
scripts written In this black ink five
hundred and six hundred years ago are
just as legibIe to-day as when first
written. The chemical inks of the
present are of too recent invention to
determine whether they will last, but il
is quite probable that most of them will
be as legible at the end of fifty or sew
enty-fve years as they are to-day.
There Is, however, a fortune in store
for the man who will invent chemical
black ink which will write black at the
first and remain so.-St. Louis Globe

AN oBJEUT LESSON IN SILVER.

While SECRETARY FOSTER is buying
between six and seven tons Of silver q
day in obedience TO the Republican
law, the price Of silver continues to
drop and the value Of the Republican
dollar to dwindle in sympathy.
Mr.. HARRISON and Mr.. FOSTER are
both on record as prophesying that the
United States could 'boost" silver by
buying in all that our own mines can
produce. It's a lesson in the futility
Of the Republican policy.
Another lesson is taught By the con-
dition Of the currency in Mexico.
There the silver dollar Is worth but lit
tie more than seventy cents; and at that
price it is measured against cOmmodi-
ties Of the United States. The SITUATE
ton isnot encouraging to trade with our
southern neighbor.
Yet this is the condition to which
the policy Of government purchases Of
silver and the issuing Of Treasury notes
upon that metal is leading the United
States.
1t is likely that some day, when the
Treasury has no more gold to pay out
FOR silver certificates, the Republican
dollar will drop to the level OF the Mex
lean dollar.
Ii will not have far 70 drop.
