Educating the Indians.
IfCatholics have received more money
from the general government, as ,they
have, for Indian education, it is siInply
because they have done the most work,
and educated the greatest number of
Indian children. The policy ofythe
general government. set on foot iby a
Republican administration. has been to
encourage the multiplication ar of
schools among our Indian tribes.
When this policy was s,in-
augurated, the Catholics had been
engaged in that humane and Christian
work. without money, and without}1ope
OF earthly reward, for over 200 wears.
Their laborS made it possible for the
government to establish schools. and to
employ teachers to aid in civi:zing che
Indian. When Father De Smet pene-
trated the wilds over which roamed the
fierce Sioux, the treacher0us Blackfeet
and the Flathead tribes, fifty years
ago, every sane man knows
that any effort to establish
government schools among those savage
hordes would have resulted in the most
inglorious and signal failure A savage
people must first be redeemed from
their degraded state before schools or
salaried teachers can exert any in
fiuence among them. Any man but a
Black Gown would not feel very safe

wonderful results. On the Fort Totten
reservation in 1900 there were but few
pagans and no savages. The work
of the Sisters during these years of I'M
speakable trials was not heralded to the
world through the press. They did not
work for human applause. Under the
direction OF Major j. W. Cramsc. who
was for many years Indian agent at
Fort Totten, and who now resides in st.
Paul, a large frame building was erected
by the government about a mile from
the Fort, in which the Sisters lived and
kept boarding and day school.
Some eight miles away from the fort
another day school was held under the
guidance of Rev. j. Hunt, Bene-
dlctine missionary at Fort lotion.
When Morgan took the reins of gov
ernment he first abolished Father
Hunts school; his second move was to
dismiss the Sisters from the school
near the fort, and he sent notification
to the Sisters to that effect l imme-
diately fastened to Washington and put
the case before Hon. }. W. Noble, sec.
rotary of the interior. Mr.. Noble acted
very fairly in the premises. as you may
see from the inclosed letter. The sis
ters were retained as teachers for
the school year of -1S90-1S31. In
August, 1891. l received telegram
from the superloreSS of Totem school,
urging me to visit the fort Immediately.
l went to the scene of conflict, and
found that Mr.. Garfield, the sapsrin-
tendent Of the school at the fort, was
about to move into tine convent with his
family, and with the male and female
employees of the fort school. by direc-
ton of Commissioner for Indian Affairs
Thomas j. Morgan.
A sort of military discipline vas to be
followed out IN the new community.
Mr. Garfield and his associates were to
sit at table with the nuns, sentinel
was to march through the dormitories
at stated times during the night,
to this rule. Mr.. Garfield had his
household effects packed aud ready
for removal to the new home the next
day. requested him to wait for a few
days until 1 could correspond with
the department on the matter, and
in Justice 70 Mr.. Garfield l must saw
that he was only, too willing to keep
out Of the convent, and to do all
in his power to satisfy my claims on
behalf of The sisters. The next day l
left for Washington, and, with the help
of Secretary Noble, succeeded in check
mating Thomas j. Morgan in his little
scheme.
While in Washington, however, on
this trip l unearthed another little ELIOT.

LET US LIVE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
The education of children really be-
gins long before the usual age Of enter
ing school. No sooner does the child
sit alone than it is given rattle and
ball and following these other toys, and
then blocks and books with bright pic
lures. These are not merely for amuse-
ment, but, whether one really means it
seriously or not, they are means of in
struction and will be so used by the
wise parent so far as her time and op-
portunities will admit. But just here
at the most impressionable age the
child is crowded out of the mothers care
and given over to ignorant nurses and
servants and they use these things in
manner often the reverse Of wise or
beneficial.
In 1914, at Blankenburg, in Germa-
nv, one Frederick Froebel issued a
book with the above title in which he
details system of graded amusements
and games for young children accord
ing to their age, intelligence and devel-
opment, which have in view the en-
larging and developing of the mind,
training of the powers of observation
and the inculcatiDg of facts which shall
prepare the way for profitable and
successful study of books.
This system, called the Kindergarten,
thus introduced half century ago in
Germany, has been widely used since
that time. A few years ago it was first
used in this country, and soon training
schools for the instruction of kinder
garten teachers were established and
little kindergartens sprang up all over
the land to the great advantage of num-
berless children, not to speak of their
tired mothers.
Here the child is taught application,
obedience, courtesy and observation by
means of games, songs and pretty
amusements, and is in purely scien~
tifc manner prepared for school life at
the ordinary age.
1t is perhaps not widely known to AL
exandrlans that we have in our midst a
very excellent teacher of this system in
Miss Morrill,, who has in charge the
kindergarten department o: the Arling-
ton Literary Institute on Prince ST., and
whom, having watched with great in
terest the effect of her training of child
ren, can heartily recommend. The
benefits OF that training have been very
marked in the case of my own child.

A SWORD SwALLowER Our OF
WoRK-August Reicke, professional
sword swallower, so years old, has not
had work in his line for some time.
He had family to support at 16 Will
let street, and he became respondent.
Monday night he took an old cavalry
sabre blade twenty-three inches long
and started to plunge it down his
throat. His hand was not steady and
the sword cut his throat. The pain
made him cry out, and then he took
the sword in his hands, and, whirling
it around his head, lunged about the
room. The screams of his wife and
children startled one of the tenants in
the house, who peeped in at the door.
Seeing Reicke with the sword in his
hands and the wife and children in
fear, he slammed the door and ran yell
ing to the street for policeman.
Officer Fallon opened the door OF
Reicke's room and saw him swing the
sword.
"What are you trying to do ?" asked
Fallon.
GIVE killed seven people and have
buried their bodies, aud Pm ready for
more" Reicke replied.
He was sent to Bellevue.-Neto York

MARKS ON A BALLOT.

The Supreme Court Of Michigan
has handed down the most impor-
tant decision affecting the present
method of voting that has ever been
made. On the question of what
constitutes distinguishing mark
on a ballot, which mark is pro-
hibited by law, the Court unani-
mously holds that whatever mark
other than the single one appropri-
ate to designate the intention of a
voter is distinguishing mark.
The case was brought in the con-
testing of the rights of office of two
local candidates at Bay City, who
were osten' IDLY elected at a Spring
election year and half ago. By
the decision both are ousted from
office. The result of this decision
will be far reaching.
The Court holds that if two tick
cts on an official ballot are identi-
cal the marking of cross over
each is illegal; also that to mark a
cross over any ticket, and then be-
fore each name on snch ticket, or
place a cross before the name of
candidate and then erase the name
of his opponent on another ticket,
is illegal.
In substance, the opinion holds
that a single mark is vote and is
sufficient to indicate the voters in
tention, and that a second mark
might be agreed upon as means
of Identification. 1t has been the
practice of election inspectors to
count all snch doubly marked bal
lots, so that under this decision
any of the elections held under the
Australian voting system may, it
is believed, be contested.

SPEECH before the California min

in which he took just as bold a
stand in favor of the restoration of
the white metal as he did on the
stump in the late campaign in

thought. as other would be con-

sentiment honestly expressed

it is most popular. The convention
passed a ringing set of resolutions
upon the silver questions, which
were no doubt influenced to a great
degree by Mr.. Newlands.
