WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-W. R. Ler-
ser, Indian agent for the Sacs and
Foxes at Tama, Ia, where there are 1872
Indians, makes a rather pessimistic re-
port of the conditions and advancement
of the Indians. There are but 30
houses, the Indians living mostly in
tepees. Most of the, Indians cling to
the blanket Instead of civilized dress.
He expected to make report of agri-
cultural progress, but was doomed to
disappointment. There has been no
progress in the schools.

wire a winner, the only Democrat elect
ed in Chicago. The finish of the official

The largest place in the Swedish literary
movement has been held by the women. The
first and most talented of this group was
Nine. AIMEE Charlotte Edgren-L Letter,
Duchess of Cajanello. About 1880 she pub
lished three volumes of a novel containing
an exquisite description of high life in
Stockholm. Later, carried away by the
emancipation movement, she wrote dram as
on the rights Of women and the poor, going
straight to her goal in the most exact man
ner: satirical, but always preserving the
tact of a woman of the world; of a sober,
/. transparent temperament, her warmth always
proceeded from an intellectual indignation.
She never hesitated to put into practice that
which her intelligence and her feeling of
justice imposed on her.
s. After her, the most famous Swedish
woman writer is Nine. Victoria Benedikts-
son Ernst Ahlgren). An invalid, struggling
with terrible physical suffering, she became
famous at one stroke by some novels on
peasant lifean a romance entitled Money
describing the marriage and divorce between
a young girl of intellectual aspirations and
a wealthy but a much older proprietor desti-
tute of intellectual aspirations. The other
women writers are Mile. Hilma Standberg
and a very young woman, Mile. Stella

Argument That the Educated Race
Is lettering to Hts Fall.
DR.. Max Nordan, who some years ago ex-
cited the attention of Europe by his book
conventional Lies" has just seen the publ
cation of the second and final volume of his
remarkable work, .'Entartung," OF 'Degen-
~eracy.n The learned Doctor is a Hungarian
who lives in Paris and Nordau is only an
assumed name, says the Boston Journal.
The purpose of this strange and fascinat-
ing book is to show the degeneracy OF the
European races as revealed in art and htera-
ture that now prevail in Europe. The writer
starts with an analysis of the real meaning OF
'sfnde steele" for which phrase he would
substitute 'sfn de race" as he argues with
reason that a century is not like an animal in
birth. growth and death. He then devotes
considerable attention tomysticism as shown
by the writers that followed the pre-
Raphaelite school in England. Rossettl
S%winburne, bv Tolstoi in Russia, by the de-
cadents and symbolists in France, as Yer
laine. Mallerme, Pelladan, Rollinat, and by
such a musician as Wagner, against whom
the writer is hot in his wrath. Then Ibsen,
Baudelaire, Huysmans, lola and Nietsche
are discussed at great length. Even Oscar
Wilde is treated seriously.
Nordan rests his arguments pom the stud
les of the modern French and Italian special
lists in nervous disorders, insanity and crime;
and the book is dedicated appropriately to
Lombroso. He finds in the characteristic OF
the writers and musician named the symp-
tons that stamp hysterical men and women

men, and, indeed, the specialists of today
claim that male historical patients outnum
Der the female; he finds even the symptoms
of diseased minds, of idiocy in the peculiar
tricks of language and trains of thought that
endear the writings of such men as lbsen ct
al. to sympathetic readers.
The causes of these symptoms thus re.
| vealed in writers and readers are attributed
by Nordau to the present conditions of life
| in Europe. He asserts that men and women
are handicapped at their start by heredlty,
by the irritating food and drink and stimu-
lants of the men and women before them,
and that the handicapped in turn constantly
over-stimulate themselves. Such bodies
cannot contain sane minds, nor can the
minds endure the grand simplicity of classic
models in art and literature,

SELLING POOR TICKETS.
COunciImen Give Them to COnstffu
ents. Who Sell Them For Rum.

ents, Who Sell Them For Rum.
Druggist Dreyfus of Hobeken yesterday
informed Mayor Pagan that he had been
offered poor tickets calling for So worth of
groceries for 10 cents. 1t was charged that
one of the Councilmen the name was not
mentioned distributed tickets for the poor
promiscuously, merely to gain favor with
his constituents. As the spring elections are
near at hand, when some of the Councilmen
vacate office, it was charged that one OF
them in fear lest he lose his position in the
Common Council. sought this means
of establishing among his supporters
evidence of his value. This report is yigor-
! ously denied by some of the members OF the
council.
Mayor Pagan declares that he will ave a
rigid investigation made of the case. He
holds secret the name of the Councilman.
This morning, when a JERSEY CITY NEWS
reporter asked Councilman Kelly of the
| Third Ward if there was any truth in the
| rumor, he answered.
TIM KELLY'S Email
t;Not the slightest truth is there in it that
I know of. | don't see how any sensible
| person could make such an allegation as
that. There would be nothing gained by
accomplishing such a thing, in the first
place; and in the second place, it could not
| easily be done. Every blank that is made
out has to be applied for in person
by the poor person to whom it is
made out, and must be signed by a Council
man from the ward in which that person
lives. Then it goes direct to the Poor
master, and it is his duty TO investigate the
case if he thinks it needs looking up. If it
/ requires, in his mind, no investigation, then
he makes out the order and hands it to the
| applicant, who in turn presents it to the
| store. Poormaster Miller knows generally
whether the cases are worthy or not. Now,
| how can a Councilman be held to accounts
| 1t is charged that these tickets, some of
which have grocery orders for So, have been
| sold in some instances for ten cents. If SO,
| then it is not the Councilman's fault, because
| the Poornaster should investigate it. On
| the face of it, it is absurd
GIVEN TO RUM-SoAKED MEN.
1t is said that rum-soaked men secure
| tickets by promising to vote for the Council
man against whom the charges are made,
| and sell them.
Councilman Weinthal, of the First ward,
declared the report to be a most silly fabrica-
tion. He explained the system the same as
Councilman Kelly did. and said he could not
see how blame could attach to a Council
man."
Councilman Thinker said: II don't know
much about it. WASN'T the one mentioned
and so can't say anything
