II is worth crossing the continent to
see the distribution OF meat ratlons 10
the Sioux OF this agency. This meat IS
given them in the shape OF Texas steers
on the hooi. All the Indians have
monies, and IL Is safe TO say that they
are the most graceful II not the best
riders in the world. Such dIstribu-
ton takes place every ten days and on
such an occasion the Indians dress In
full hunting attire as in the days when
thsV chased the buffalo. and their eyes
glow with the spirit OF the sport. The
cattle are brought into q great corral
and are separated, fifteen or more being
cut out in every batch. These are let
loose on the prairie. The poor creatures
are wild with terror, and with tails up
thew make break for life and liberty.
Whooping as only the Sioux can, they
start after them. Their Wjnchesters
crack and here and there an animal
falls till all are killed, and another
batch is subjected to the same kind OF
butchery. The dead steers are quickly
and skillfully skinned and cut up.
Every thirty Indians, the smallest child
being counted as one. are allowed a
steer.
I have been surprised aud pained to
meet here a number Of young Indian
men and women who had spent some

PARIS, April 6.-Francs is on the QltI
uiue for the reelection OF President
Sadi-Carnot to another term OF seven
years as chief Of the republic. While
the choice OF the national assembly Is
reasonably certain to fall upon Carnot,
yet there is sufficient doubt in the pros
pect to give some piquancy to tie sltua-
tion. The parliamentary elections held
In August last made 1t certain that
President Carnot's successor, II not
Carnot himself, would be a thorough
going Republican, in sympathy with Car
not's policy, and willing 10 continue his
methods OF governing France. At the
elections the moderate Republican pol
10y was sustained By an overwhelming
majority. as against the extreme Social
lists, on the one hand, and Monarchists
on the other, the confidence OF the
French people in the republic being
thus c0nclusiVely established. As Pres
ident Garnet is, therefore, the most
prominent candidate for the high
Office which he occupies, sketch
of the man and his style Of living may
be OF interest. Sadi Carnot, IL is well
known, is descended from one OF the
most illustrious men OF the French Rev
oution, member OF the famous Com
mittee Of Safety, and TO whom the mar
vellous success Of the French armies in
their early struggles against hostile Eu-
rope was largely due. President Caruot
inherits the integrity and abili-
itv Of his celebrated grandfather,
and his hardly less celebrated
father. At Fontainebleau and the
Elysee be lives like simple bourgeois.
For his holiday residence he has chosen,
in accord with his unpretending dispo-
sition, the most secluded part Of that
splendid palace once frequented by en-
perors and kings. To describe his

But the power OF the chiefs, as might
be expected, is decaying. They were
necessity in the war days, and when the
leaders work was all-powerful with the
tribe, but they soon lose their rever-
ence for a man who is not only not SUI
perior TO the whites, but who is treated
with no particular Difference by the
agents, from whom he is forced TO take
his orders. Another class VI men whose
power is going or gone, are tho "Squaw
men," that is, white men, who by vlr-
tue Of their having married Indian
wives are adopted into the tribe. These
fellows exercised great deal OF control,
but the Indians seeing that the men are
despiSed by the outside whites soon
come to regard them in the sauna wav.
FARM RS have been sent TO this and
other agencies to teach the Indians'how
to cultivate the SOIL These, as a rule,
are good men and thoroughly under
9 and Their business, but the Indian Is
not foreslghted, he does not take kindly
TO work, nor Is this to be wondered at.
The warriors have ever regarded labor
as degrading and fit only for women,
and to the women he Is apt to leave the
work. II Anglers white man who
sees for the first time squaw stagger-
ing under a great load OF wood or
hay, whilo her husband strides
beside her and scolds her if she STUN
bles or does not keep up. But we
should not expect those people to change
the customs OF long centuries in one
short generation. 1t is only by contin-
uing the instruction OF these Indians
persistently for generations that we can
bring them TO regard work as honora-
BILE and make them self-sustaIning.
Two thousand years ago our ancestors
were quite as low as the Indian Is to-
day, and it needed all these centuries
to make them what they are, and 1t
will take many more TO make them
what they should be.
The great promise OF the Indian Is In
the schools, and those al this agency,
as at others, are under the management
OF very com petent people. The Indian
children are initiative and bright, and
up to a certain age they do about as well
as white children OF the same years, but
it is noticed that after the age of
puberty they do not make rapid
progress. The truth IS, we are
too eager for immediate results.
When the Indian child leaves school.
aud while II is at school, 1t is subject to
the influence OF ignorant parents and
imbioes their prejudices and supersti-
tions. II is only when the parents have
been educated and become industrious
that we can expect TO see the children
through all stages Keeping up with
white children Of the same age. The
condition Of the Cherokees to-day leads
us to hope that In two or three genera
tions the Sioux will be as good farm srs
and be supporting quite as good schools
of their own.

Republic should have for its aristocracy

M. Cssimir-Perisr was approached, about
two years ago, by emissaries OF the eX-
lied pretender to the throne OF France
with promises of the most lavish re-
wards, II he would espouse the cause OF
monarchy. II was intimated that Nj.
Casimir-Perlor would be created duke
aud chancellor Of France, and the ennis
sary who brought the offer showed Gu'
thority to pledge the word OF royaly IL
self in support OF the proposition. NJ.
Casimir-Persr repused the bearer OF the
message with an emphasis the latter Is
not likely to forget, telling him that he
regarded il as more honorable TO be q
citizen of France than to be duke I'M
der king. He also told the emisssry
that the Count of Paris might as well
give up all hope Of the restoration OF
the monarchy, for the Third Republic
would continue to live. This reply
from a man so distinguished and al the
same time so moderate, FOR a time put
ouietus on tho schemes OF the eXlled
Bourbons. The latter had counted on
NJ. Casimlr-P erier's jealousy OF Garnet
as likely to lead him to betray the re-
public, but they were mistaken. Casl-

mlrer OF Carnot, but he is as true as
steel to the principles which Carnot
