Gov. Fishback Of Arkansas, in a Letter
sent to President Cleveland, raises the Ques-
ton of a change in the present political re-
lations between the United States and In
dian territory. In the opinion Of the gov
ernor something ought to be done, for the
reason that 1.-The farces Of government"
which exist in the territory, to use the
language Of the letter, render this country
a refuge Of special attractiveness to the
criminal class. The governor backs up his
assertions with figures showing the number
of acquisitions issued for fugitives from JUS
tice and also the number Of murders that
have been committed that were not cogniz-
able by the federal courts. With the excep-
ton of urging that the government should
assert its right Of eminent domain over this
part Of the country and that the political
relations Of the Indian territory with the
United States should be changed, the gov
ernor does not propose any remedy for the
condition Of affairs which prompted this
communication. AS is well known, the
tribes Of Indians located in the territory
have their own internal government, but
the jurisdiction Of the United States courts
Of the adjacent district extends over the
territory. Apparently the lack of power in
the local authorities in their cooperation
with the federal and state authorities in
the main cause of the present complaint
1t has been suggested that a territorial
form Of government be applied to this re-
gion- The Indian tribes, some Of whom
have reached an advanced state Of civiliza-
ton. have always opposed any change in
the present relations with the federal gov
eminent.

IF wealth does its duty in this crisis the
good feeling produced will be no small COM
pensation even for the suffering endured
These are the words Of Mr.. Andrew Carne-
gle, and he has shown what his idea of the
duty Of wealth is by offering to duplicate
the contributions Of the citizens Of Pitts
burg to the extent Of 100000. These are
terrible tines" says Mr.. Carnegie, yet
trust the people will not become discour-
aged They will soon pass away. and the
republic will resume its prosperous career.
Meanwhile they are fraught with precious
opportunity for the rich to show that when
real trouble comes the rich and poor, en-
ployer and employed, are at heart brothers,
a-lies and sentinels to prosperity of each
other-not antagonistic." If the spirit
which has prompted Mr.. Carnegies words
and deeds were generally manifested at
such times by those whose wealth has been
made largely by the skill and industry of
American workingmen, not only would
there be no protracted period of suffering
but probably much of the acrimony attend
ing the controversies between capital and
labor would disappear. The interests Of the
working classes are the interests Of the
wealthy, no matter how the wealth may
have been acquired.

Geographically speaking, the cause of
woman suffrage Is making progress. At
least this is the view taken by the Woman
Suffrage Party's State Committee of New
York, which has just issued a statement,
beginning with a conspicuous heading
Great Spread of Woman Suffrage This
statement shows the area and population of
the seven political and geographic divisions
OF the earth, where women have now full
suffrage, or can vote for all elective offices.
These places are: Wyoming, Colorado New
Zealand, Iceland. Isle of Man, the Island of
Jersey and Pitcairn Island. The aggregate
area Of these lands is given as 345, T23
square miles, and the total poulation as
l.2s1,2OO- Pitcairn Island might have been
omitted without materially affecting the re-
suit, as its area is only eight square miles.

A good many worse things might happen
to this country than the reduction Of the
treasury balance. If money has to be bor-
rowed Uncle Sam will not be obliged to go
to the ten percenters for it. If he merely
tntimates his desire for loan gold will be
eagerly offered him almost at his own
terms. So the reduction of the treasury
surplus does not mean calamity by any
means. 1t may afford evidence of mis-
takes made in legislation; it may suggest
to hnanciers some changes in our financial
system; but it cannot be taken as evidence
of the inability of the government or people
TO pay their debts. The country is, in fact,
rich. despite the falling off in treasury &C
counts and the reduction of the surplus,
and despite the prevailing Industrial de-
preston. If one-half the measures adopted
by needy governments to raise revenue were
put in force in this country the treasury
vaults would have to be greatly enlarged

There IL no present necessity or excuse
for the people of Washington to propose to
Congress any substitute whatsoever for the
existing Just and equitable financial arrange
ment between the nation and its capital
city. Very few men, indeed, when they
come to know the facts concerning the re-
)ations between the republic and the ma
honal city-the part played by the nation
IN the founding Of the capital, the obliga-
lions arising from the conditions Of its crea-
ton. the national ownership and legislative
control of the seat Of government, and the
unreasonable exactions for national pur-
poses In violation Of implied pledges wrung
for three-fourths of century from the cap
itars small and feeble population-remain
anything but the warmest advocates Of a
just, liberal and patriotic treatment by the
nation of the nations city. Since 1878. the
nation has merely performed its duty and
fulfilled its pledges of the beginning Of the
century. If any change in the financial
relations were made 1t should be in the
direction Of causing the same just policy
OF keeping national promises to be extended
over the three-fourths of a century during
which the republics pledges were disre-
garded, with the result of reimbursing the
city to the tune of many millions of dollars
for capital expenditures beyond what is now
IecOsulZeu as us lair prOpOrtiOu, uurilS inc
years prior to 1878. The misfortune of Wash
ington is that periodically new sets Of legis-
lators. men frequently unfamiliar with the
history Of the capital, and with the spirit
that animated its founders, come to Con-
gress to legislate for 1t, and are unable to
do SO justly and intelligently until they have
had time to learn all the facts, and some Of
them never take the trouble to learn at all.
Washington's campaign of education in res
pect to its legislature, is consequently a
never-ending one.

The fire engines sent out from the city
stood helplessly by while fire was destroy
ing thousands of dollars worth of property
ut Takoma Park this morning. The reason
was that there was no supply of water for
the engines. The fire was one of the most
destructive that has occurred in the Dis
Gict for years. 1t was fought bravely by
citizens and firemen, who had to resort to
the most primitive methods. The damage
done. estimated in money, would have paid
the cost Of maintaining chemical engines
and hre corps in several of the most popu-
lous suburbs for a number of years. Ex-
penditures Of that kind often mean a great
saving to the community. Undoubtedly
Takoma's experience will cause a vigorous
renewal Of the effort to secure a proper
water supply for all the suburbs Of the
city lying within the District limits.

just after the Grippe had visited that
country. =" l am farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter l was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. l consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, l was
entirely clear Of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and

The issue being forced upon these
people thus untimely is one that will
rend parties and stir this country as
1t has not been stirred since the
slavery question was settled. The
Democratic party has only one
course open to it when the issue
comes. 1t will stand for an unman-
ipulated currency bearing the mint
mark of the sovereign people, ana
not the signature of the president of
any corporation favored with the
sovereigns prerogative of issuing
money and acting as viceroy.
Let our Wall street friends make
no mistake. Let them dismiss the
idea that they can reach into the
Democratic party and control it.
There is no man and no set of men
in the Democratic party that can
control it or turn it when this issue
is once forced The decentralization
of silver has added at least 20 per
cent. to the debt of every agricultural
exporting State in the Union. Not
only silver, but wheat, cotton and
all other agricultural exports have
been forced down, while gold was
being forced up and while the debts
OF the exporting States were being
forced up to the gold basis.
Having done this once, our Wall
street friends think they can do it
