 The divine injunction 'in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" has DO re- levsncy to the citizs sns of the five civilized tribes. Here are a people who, like the lilies of the field, ''toil not, neither do they spin," furnishing sn example of class fsvoritism under the law peculiar and in- teresting to study. The landlords have no care but the gathering of rents and a gen eral supervision of the home plsce. They are, as class. free-handed, reckless, good livers, and with strong tendency to die sipstion. Most of them live up to their incomes, and few acquire large bank &C., counts. Your typical landlords home is the rambling white-plsntation great house of ante -bellum days, with wide galleries, big chimneys, and usually in a bad state of repair. An air of untidiness and neg lect Pervsdes the yard, to which is added a lack of tsstefnside when you enter Still there Is something about the surroundings the orchard, smoke house, negroes, pigs and poultry-Hhioh denotes solid old d-fssh- toned comfort and Arosdisn content Frequently you meet a lord of one of these msnsions-a tqusw man-whose family claim no Indian blood, yet he enjoys, by virtue of former matrimonial alliance, all the landed rights of an Indian. It is really surprising the number of this class that are divorced from Indian wives or have become widowsrs and remsrried in their own race. They constitute the largest lsndholders, and are very jelAous of their tribal rights when threatened by "boomers," as they term the opponents of land monopoly and unequal privileges. And what of the Indian, the full blood whom this great and muni6cent govern ment of ours has in its wisdom regarded as a ward and heir to a princely heritage | as s recompenss for AnslO-SsIon rspiDei You will find him where the stillness Cf the forest is ss yet unbroKen.

The Great Personal Charm of uue.
 Roland

Roland.
 IIdA N Tarben in scrIbner's MAraztne1
 No doubt the personal charm of Madame Roland had much to do with her influence. All who knew her testify to her attractive ness. Guillon de Montleon, by no means a sympathetic critic, speaks ''of her pleas ant, piquant face, her active, brilliant mind" Arthur Young. who saw her in 1iSe, describes her as young snd besuti- full" Lenontey ssys of her: Her eyes, her head, her hair, were Of remarkable beauty. Her delicate complexion had & freshness of color which, joined to her sir of reserve and csndor, made her seem sin gulsrly young. I found in her none of the elegant Parisisn air which she claims in her Memoirs though I do not mean to say that she was awkward" And he Adds, she talked "wel, too we'll" Indeed, all ot her b!ogrsphers testify to her brilliant conversation. Tisset tells of her "sopo- rous, flexible vo.cs, infinite charm in talk Ing, eloQuencs which came from her heart" As the tradition in the family of Madame Roland goes, she was short and stout, possessed no taste in dress, and could be called neither beautiful nor even pretty However, vivEcity, syuapAthy and intelligence were so combined in her face, and her voice was so msllow and vibrating, that she exercised veritzble charm when she talked She berseh oonEsdsred her chief attraction 10 be her conversational power. In one of the frequent passages of amusing self-oomplscEney in her Me moirs' she repeats s remark Of Camille Dssmoulins, that he could not understand how woman of her age knd with so little beauty had SO many admirers, and the comments: "He had never heard me talk !"

INCENDIARISM,

One of the most discoursging losses with which the people Of this country have to contend is the loss by fire. This loss has been unusually large this year, and it bids fair to amount to the enormous sum of $160, ,000 900 for the year. And the worst thing about the matter Is that the greater part of this loss will be due to careless ness, poor building and incendisrism. Fire Marshal Whitcomb of Boston has something to say about incendisrism which is interesting. The facts gathered by in surance journals show that in ten States last year the incendisry fires were from 40 to 80 per cent. of the entire number of were from 20 to 40 per cent. There are indications, indeed, that the swindling of insurance companies by incendiaries has become an established criminal industry. Reviewing the investigations made in Boston since 1886, Marshal Whitcomb finds that more than 60 per cent. of the in- cured persons who sought to defrsud com psnies by means of incendiary fires had record that ought to have prevented them from obtaining insurance; that Is to say, more than 50 per cent. of them "hsd pre- viously collected or attempted to collect in- surance from one to four or five times, and in one instance twenty-two times, on fires that were believed to be incendisry," or with respect to which there was ample warrant for suspicion. One of the rsscals confessed that he had swindled twenty two companies by alleged losses in as many cities. He had never been inside of the house upon which he took out his original policy, nor had he ever owned s dollars worth of goods there. It is suggested that the fire companies should adopt the "applicAtion blank" system of the life companies, and that applicants for insur- ance, except In cases where such precau- tions may safely be waived, should be re- quired to answer questions designed to dis close the history of their previous experi- ence in the matters of fire loss and insurance. "l estimate" says Marshal Whitcomb, "thst 75 per cent. of the crim- inal fires occurring in Boston during the past seven years were cases of ineendiarism for gain, and that the insurance companies would have refused to issue polices to 75 per cent. of such would-be insurance rob- bers if their applications had been subject to the questions suggested"
 It is evident thst something ought to be done to reduce the great and permanent loss by fire In this country.

UNION LABOR AND RED HAIR.

UNION LABOR AND RED HAIR.
 We expect that there will be eloquent
 orators at the school district meeting this afternoon to set forth the reasons why the comparatively email part of this community known as Union labor should be given 8 class privilege In connection with the
 building of the Manual Training School.
 But we hope that the orators who speak for Union labor will not be the only ones present and vociferous. We want to hear some orator get up and give the reasons
 why none but red headed men should
 be allowed to work on the building. There are even better reasons why they should bs given this e1clu- sive privilege than can be urged in favor of giving 1t to Union labor. And they are more pleasant reasons than the Union orators can give. Red-hesded men are not like other men. Nature has made them distinctly different and conspicuous. They do not need to form Union in order to make 1t plain that they are red headed. Being thus so really different from other PCoPAo " Sooio bO ShcA thoh 4Nobuto didn't intend that they should bs subject to the laws and the equal rights doctrine. And If not, then the Constitution does not apply to the red-hesded, and they can be given the job without trampling on the rights of others. It can further be claimed for them on the ground that they are not only different from but superior to the rest of us. If we remem- Der right, Minervs, the Goddess of Wisdom, had red hair, and such hair was esteemed by 'the ancients" mark of superiority. And in these more prosaic days there is 8 quality in red-headed people which com mands both attention and respect. They have the gift of fire, and they can blaze on very small provocation. They are not dull and heavy as dark haired people are. They are full of sweetness, light, poetry and art, and their hair is a fit and glowing emblem of that which glows within them.
 Therefore, if we must go back on the Constitution this afternoon let's do SO in favor of the red headed workingmen, in stead of the Union workingmen. We fear that such action wouldn't stand in law, but if any such experiment fig to be tried let's try that one. The basis for argument in the courts would be quite as solid as that which would be furnished by de- cision in favor of Union labor, and decid- edly more pictures que. And If it should happen to be decided that the Constitution doesn't bear upou red-hesded men what & sight 1t would be to see 8 crowd of them at work together on the new build ing.
