THE NATIONS PERIL

The stock OF gold in the United States
Treasury has fallen to se~venty-nine mill
Ion dollars. This is twenty-one million
dollars below the reserve. The drain on
the gold holdings is almost as bad as 1t
was In the height Of the panic.
The loss IL due to the falling off In the
customs receipts and the expenditures
for reckless appropriations handed down
to us from the last administration
Is any man 30 ignorant ms not to know
that the falling off In customs receipts IL
wholly due to the delay in action on the
Tariff bill? Can any one be idiotic enough
to suppose that the business OF tho coun-
try and the receipts OF revenue will In
crease while uncertainty prevails as to
what Congress will eventually do with
the tariff7 Are people going to rush into
trade with their eyes shut and without
knowing at what moment they are going
to dash their heads against n wall?
The Senate Is responsible for the delay.
1t is to the Senate's non-action that all
the evils under which we are suffering
are due. The infamy Of the policy OF the
Senators Is made worse by the known
fact that It IL induced by selfish and cor
rupt considerations; that stock profits
and political dickers lie. at It's founda-
ton, and that trusts and monopolies
have more influence with some of our
Senators than considerations Of the pub
lie good and the country's safety.
Is not the peoples patience about ex-
hausted by the greed, selfishness. venal-
ity and corruption of the United States

Dangerous TO wheelmen.

To the EdItOr'
There is but one saslisht at the Riverside
Drive curve at one Hundred and Twenty NTH
street and there is danger attending a ride on 1t at
night on a wheel In Its present condition. Now any
body with common sense would know that the rays
OF one gaslight are certainly inadequate to light
up this point. and why We haven't heard OF some.
body riding over the slight embankment and
~piunging down the precipice is a mystery to me,
as 1t is impossible to see but a very short distance
before YOU. The writer OF this had his wheel
demolished last Saturday night at this place by
being run down by a horse and light wagon. to
say nothing OF injuries sustained and his narrow
escape OF being killed. caused mainly by the lack
OF light on the roadway. WHEELMAN.

Another View of Sunday.

To the Editor:
In my opinion, Sunday is imply a sanitary In
stitution. for the purpose OF recreation; conse-
quently 1t is immaterial what day is selected,
As to the biblical account of creation, 1t seems
absurd to guide ourselves by 1t. That an ON
nipotent Creator should labor six days where
everything could have been don at his will is
beyond my comprehension. The 'Talmud' comes
to the rescue by claiming that he did 1t for the
purpose that we should do likewise, but why did
he see At to set rs an example In this instance
while in all others he had but simply to com
mand7 Then. as 1t seems that he never per-
formed any work since. why should we not claim
the same privilege. and labor only six days OF
our lives? VICTOR HARRIS.

INDIANS SEE THE WORLD"
Chiefs, squaws and Papooses Take
Their First Elevator Ride.

island that their forefather's are said
to have sold to white men for S2i.
In the delegation were Chiefs No
Neck. Rocky Bear. Spotted Tail. jr.,
and his wife and child: Yankton Charlie,
Brave Bird and Fla Iron, the medi-
cine man, and Little Money. the six
year-old son of Brave Bird.
No Neck is the chief oof chiefs in the
camp over at Ambrose Park, and he
was the only one who before to-day
had been in the dome OF the Pulitzer
Building. He had told his fellow red
men. however. Of the wonderful view
to be had from 1t and suggested the
visit this morning.
Some of the red men had never be-
fore been In a building 80 high that an
elevator was used to reach the top. and
when the dome to which they were
going was pointed out from the street
they told Major q. G.. Crager in their
red language that 1t was too high to
walk.
He convinced them, however, tina the
trOp would be easily made, and when
the group was huddled together in the
elevator they all looked mystiiied, but.
with true indian stoicism, asked no ques-
lions.
They were still silent while the ele-
yator vas speeding upward, and even
Little Money did nothing but clutch his
fathers buckskln trousers. while all the
chiefs seemed to be wondering II 1T was
not Il trip to the Happy Hunting Ground

The first thing Flat Iron and No Neck
did when they reached the dome was to
speak OF the little people below"
Neck said to Major Crage.
The wife OF Spotted Tail, who carried
her papuose On her back just as she
did on the plains. was the only one who
did not seem particularly Interested In
the sight. Some of the chiefs tried to
point out objects of Interest to her,
but she wouldn't talk or even appear to
be Interested.
Accompanying the Indians was John
Nelson, the old scout, who rides on the
Deadwood Caoch.
Before visiting the top Of the Pulitzer
Building, the delegation of Indians, Mexi-
cans, Arabs and Cossack's called on
Mayor Gilroy In the City Hall.
Mayor Gilroy was introduced to the
Indians as the Big Chief of the great
Tammany tribe, and they evinced the
greatest Interest In him. From his sur
roundings of ease and elegance, they evil
IDENTIFY regarded the Mayor as n tender
foot.
After saying How to the Great Chief
and shaking hands all around, the visi-
tors departed for the Pulitzer Building.
