Capacity For Civilization.

Wherever man has attempted to break
In the wild natives of new country to
civilized ways he has met at first an al
most insurmountable difficulty. 1t has
been the impossibility of making them
work steadily. They were like wild ami
mails or tramps in a civilized country
That was the main impediment in max
ing the Indian assume citizenship 1t is
what has made it out of the question
thus far to dispose of the gypsies. The
building of the Congo railway has been
hampered from this cause. Ithinders the
development of Mexico and Central
America. Like an animal, as soon as the
wild man gets enough material for his
dinner, he will not work till he is hungry
again.
1t has taken several centuries to pro-
duce even an approach to habits of per-
sistent industry in the Indian. How
many ages it has taken in the case of
the white man who conquers the savage
races we have no means Of knowing.
This much is certain, however: Capacity
for steady effort marks the capacity for
civilization. In proportion as the first is
powerful the other is high.
The people who can work the most I'M
tiringly at physical labor are at present
undoubtedly the Chinese. On the plane
of manual labor the civilizable capacity
first unfolds and strengthens itself.
Then as it grows it reacts on the brain
and mind, and in the course of genera
tons the new found power rises to the
intellectual plane.
The great masters of industry and III
tellectual achievement have one and all
possessed remarkable capacity for long
continued mental effort. The race to
which the people of Europe and the
whites of America belong passed
through their manual labor training
ages ago; therefore as a people they
are now superior to the rest of man.
kind and able to conquer them. The
power for quick, bold and powerful men
tai conception is what the Caucasian has
achieved through ages of struggle
Armed with this power the white man
has to some extent gradually released
himself from the slavery of physical toll
Perhaps in future ages the Chinese may
be the ruling race.
At any rate, capacity for persistent eff
fort on the plane, whether physical or
mental, that is at the time natural,
marks the capacity of both race and
an individual to take the next step up.

We shall soon know what the typical
American is physically at any rate. 1t
has required 12 years for Professor Sar-
gent of the Harvard gymnasium to make
the measurements necessary to find out
He took them chiefly from college stu
dents Of both sexes between the ages of
10 and 25. Nearly 10000 measurements
were made, not quite 5000 being from
the female form. When it is remembered
that 65 measurements had to be made of
each individual, the. size of the under
taking will be better understood. Then
the whole $4,000 had to be examined,
and from the result the type selected
that was to stand for the American man
and woman. In making up the result
the mathematical average was not taken
of the measurements. The size of arm
chest, head, the height, length of leg,
girth, etc., that occurred most often were
selected as those which should represent
the typical American After these rep
resentative measurements had been col
lected, then two sculptors-a man and a
woman-were chosen to model the per.
feet American male and female figures.
Composite photographs as well as the
measuring process were resorted to to
obtain results. 1t is a pity the whole
work could not have been done in time
to exhibit the statues at the Worlds fair.

The New York Sun is seriously exer-

boasted promises to reform the tariff,
the Democratic party intends content

We are sorry that we do not see in

INDIAN MURDERERS.
-Four Cowboys Killed Outright by
Two Strikes and His Friends.
FEARS OF A GENERAL UPRISING.
Two Stories of the Affair, One Of
Which Lays the Blame on the
Indians and the Other on the
Cowboys-The Soldiers Called
to the Vicinity to Prevent any
Further Disorder.

OMAHA, NEB,, February A spe-
cial to the Bee from Chadron. Neb.,
says: Two Strikes band killed three
men on the reservation last night and
now defy arrest by the Indian police.
Humphreys ranch is about twenty
miles northwest of Pine Ridge Agency
and fifteen miles directly west OF the
Knee battle ground of two years ago.
There was considerable skirmishing In
that neighborhood during the big up
rising and soldiers were stationed there
for some time.
kilograms have been sent to the In
dian agents at Pine Ridge and Rosebud
agencies by the army officers here, but
no replies have yet been received. At
6 o'clock tonight the following was re-
ceived by the Bee from Post Trader
Findlay, at Pine Ridge, II having been
telephoned over to Rushville:
ut was reported at the agency yes
terday that three white men had been
killed by the Indians. The acting
agent, Captain Brown, sent some po-
licemen to investigate the matter. They
report that they found three white men
killed and one mortally wounded, who
has since died, and who will be brought
to the agency tomorrow. These men
were killed by Two Strike, his two sons
and White Face Horse, full blood. Cap
tain Brown has sent out detachment
OF twenty police to arrest the mar&ud-
ers. 1t is said the police tried to arrest
the guilty parties this afternoon and
killed Two Strikes, his two sons and
White Face Horse.
News of the Indian difficulty was first
conveyed TO the officers OF the Depart
Of the Platte by Bee reporter.
Gen. Brooke said to reporter OF the
Bee that he received news OF the killing
OF the four white men and two Indians
at the beef camp, known as Humph-
rey's ranch, twenty-five miles north
west of Pine Ridge Agency. The
news had been brought TO the teIe-
graph station by some sQuaw men and
had not been verified, 80 the General
seemed TO think il had been a row be-
tween cowboys and Indians. He still
believes there could be no serious out
break of the red men on the reservation.
On Saturday a number OF cowboys
belonging at the Beef camp Of Isaac
Humphreys, Government contractor,
located on White river at the mouth OF
White Clay Creek about 25 miles north
west of Pine Ridge Agency, returned
from town in a drunken condition and
brought good supply Of whisky with
them.
During the evening they became quar-
resome and mistreated and injured an
Indian named Two Strike, driving him
from their camp and firing their revol-
vers at him. Two Strike returned later
in the evening, reinforced by his sons
and a number OF other relatives and
friends and commenced a deadly fire on
the cowboy camp, killing three and NOR
tally wounding a fourth man, who has
since died.

THE SENATE AT WORK.
The Body Shows What 1t Can DO When II
Takes a Notion TO Work.

Takes = Notion TO Work.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February A.
The Senate furnished evidence to-day
TO the ease with which legislative busi-
ness can be transacted in that body.
Two hours were set apart for the con-
SiderstiOn OF House bills on the calen-
dar and eighteen Of them were passed,
aud after that the House bill TO ratify
the agreement with CherokeeS for the
cessiOn of their interest TO the Chero-
kee outlet and sppropriating over
eight and half million
dollars 10 carry out was
taken up, discussed and passed in the
shape of a substitute. With all that
there was time for a little exhibition of
temper on the part Of two Democratic
Senators, arising out Of an objection by
Mr. Harris, OF Tennessee, 10 an inter-
ruption Of the regular proceedings by
Mr.. Butler, OF South Carolina. The
quarantine bill was just reached when
the limit OF time expired and Mr.. Har-
ris gave notice that he would move TO
take 10 up and pass It on Monday. The
question whether sHch motion would
not interfere with Mr. Hill's motion TO
take up the silver bill afforded Mr..
Teller an opportunity of stating that il
Mr.. Hiu's motion should prevail there
would be no other business done at tniS
session except passing the regular ap-
prOpriatiOn bills.
Senator Morgan introduced a reSolu-
riou, which was agreed TO, requesting
the President 10 send TO the Senate the
draft Of the annexation treaty negoti-
ated in 1888, but not mpleted, between
the p.euipotentiaries of the United
States and the Kingdom of Hawaii,
with the correspondence between the
two governments relating to the negOti-
atlons. Senator Morgan stated that
under the present circumstances the
text Of this treaty would De of interest
TO the Senate, and he wanted it placed
before them for the simple purpose OF
receiving all the Information possible.
Memorial proceedings in memory Of
Mr.. Gamble. Of South Dakota; Mr..
Ford, of Michigan, and Mr.. StackhOuSe,
Of South Carolina, late members OF the
House OF Representatives, were then
begun, and after eulogies on each Of
the dead representatives, the custom
ary resolutions were agreed TO and the
Senate adjourned.

ANOTHER REPORT.
The Indians Said TO Have Committed
Unprovoked Murder.


Unprovoked Murder.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, February "A
Hot Springs, S. d., special to the
Pioneer Press says:
Four men, named George Hallway,
Bennett, Rodney Royce and Ed. COch-
rane, herders, belonging to the String
ers and Humphrey outfit, were found
dead in their cabin, near the mouth Of
White Clay creek, yesterday, after hav-
ing been murdered by the Indians.
They caught the Indians the day be-
fore killing a steer belonging to the
herd that is being held on the Agency
for delivery at Pine Ridge.
They threatened to report the depre-
dators to the agent, and this so eXas-
perated the Indians that they made
threats at the time which, il seems,
they carried into execution few hours
later.
The particular locality on the Agency
is inhabited by a desperate gang Of
Indians, being remnants OF the Chey-
enne-Soux, the Brule-Siou1, and what
is left OF Big Foots band, as well as a
portion OF the Indians that at one time
trained with Sitting Bull.
Great excitement prevails az the
Agency. Troops have been ordered out
from Fort Meade, aud will arrive on
the Agony tomorrow. II is hardly
probable that any general uprising will
occur, and the people surrounding the
Agency are in no way alarmed.

CABINET GOSSIP.
Mr. Cleveland EncOuntering difficulty In
Finding a Secretary OF State.

NV YORK, February 4.-Under
Washington date the Herald says: SEN
ator George Gray, of Delaware, has de-
clined the Office Of Secretary OF State
under President Cleveland. This offer
was made TO him day before yesterday
through Don NJ Dickinson, and Mr..
Gray's reply was that be had definitely
decided not to leave the Senate. He
appreciated the great compliment paid
him by Mr.. Cleveland, but could not
change his decision.
Mr.. Gray, who is one OF the strongest
and most learned men in the Senate, had
already declined the post Of Attorney
General. He would have made an ad-
mirsble Secretary Of State, and the few
public men who know that post was Of
iered to him are sorry that he has de-
clned IL.
Senator Gray is said to be the third
man who has declined to be Secretary
of State under Mr.. Cleveland. Don NJ.
Dickinson said while here that he would
not be member OF the Cabinet, and it
is known that Judge Gresham, who
might have been Cleveland's premier
had he desired, spoke so emphatically
Of his unwillingness to serve when the
matter was broached by Mr.. Dickinson,
who was Mr.. Cleveland's ambassador In
this case, that tue consideration Of
Judge Gresham for that or any other
post under the new administration has
been dropped.
Mr.. Cleveland is having great deal
of trouble in finding a Secretary Of
State. He has now under considera-
ton James c. Carter and Frederick B.
C0udert, President Of the Manhattan
Club, with the chances largely in favor
OF the ultimate selection OF Mr.. Carter,
who is a leading lawyer of New York,
one OF Mr.. Cleveland's intimate friends
and counsel for the United States In the
Bering Sea case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February A.
Congressman William L. Wilson has
gone 70 New York, it is understood on
the invitation Of Mr.. Cleveland, who
wished to consult him about matters in
Congress and also, no doubt, regarding
the Cabinet. The knowledge that Mr..
Wilson had gone 20 see the President
elect started sfresh the FumOrs that he
would be q member OF the new Cabinet,
but il can be said on good authority
that these rumors are not correct. Mr..
Cleveland has the highest regard for
Wilson character and ability, especially
as an exponent of tariff reform, and be
is understood TO believe the West Vir-
ginia statesman can be Of more service
TO the incoming administration and to
the country IN his present position than
he could be 10 the Cabinet. This agrees
with Mr.. Wilson's belief and inclina-
tlons.
