Missionary Efforts Among the Indians.

William II. Wassell, an army officer who
has seen Indian service, contributes to Har-
per's an article of much interest on the eff
feet of missionary work among the Indians.
Says the writer: "This utter lack of ap-
probation of moral right and wrong, COM
bined with an exceptional craftiness, was a
towering obstacle for the missionary to sur
mount" But something has been done.
Many of the Sioux now confiie in the SIM
pie teaching of the Bible, and the sun dance
is abandoned for the simple rites Of the
church. The Takoo Wakan, the awful
mystery has given place to belief in Su-
preme Being.
just the extent of the missionary influ-
euce is, perhaps, best shown by few facts
from reports. The badges of the Y. NJ. C.
A. and the Catholic cross are now seen in
stead of dirty charms. War songs are re-
placed by Christian hymns. 1t was in 1876
that allotments of territory were made to
diffe rent denominations not excluding them
from each others territory, but simply in
surfing foothold for beginning. With this
allotment went ueually the control Of the
contract schools in the district. The fig
ures are from Mr.. Daniel Dorchester's re-
port, with additions from Lieut.. Wassells
personal knowledge. The Roman Catholic,
have in the Dakotas five missions, l 4 priests,
seven schools, 95 employees, IL churches, a
church population of 474O, adult baptism
for last yesr of 743, and children bsptised
1850. The Presbyterians have six mis-
sions. with ll40 native communicates, 1856
native members of Sunday schools, and Is
native churches. There are eight native
pastors, with seven stated supplies. One
hundred and twenty were admitted on con.
fession of faith last year. The Congre-
gationalists have three missions, six minis
tiers, II stations, one school, and A
laborers in the Dskotas. In the past year
there have been additions of as many as 46
BIZ confession to individual churches. Then
the Episcopal church. the las. of the quar-
tet of churches that divided the territory,
has nine missions, nine churches, %
chapels, Il stations, l7l2 communicates,
46I2 sittinss, and GOO Episcopal Indians.
There may be as many as II 1000 adherents
Of these four churches among the Sioux.
OF 100 Presbyterian Indians, only one
took part in the sun dance nf 1891.

COMMENTS OF THE GERMAN PRESS.
Various Views Of the Significance Of caprisi's
Retirement.

BERLIN, Oct. 2s-All the newspapers TO-
day comment on Csprivi's downfall and the
cabinet crisis. Says the Hamburger Ma
chrichten" (Bismarckian):
1t does not matter who his successor may
be, for he will merely execute the Emper-
or's will. We hear that Count Botho zu
Eulenburg, before resigning, earnestly ad-
vised the Emperor to reunite the chancel'
lorship and Prussian premiership.
The "Reisch bote" Conservative says
Caprivi fulfilled the prophecy that be
made when appointed. namely, that he
must sacrifice himself. Even his most
violent opponents must admit that he was
a man of noble thought and action, al
though he lacked the power and energy
which Germany expects from her Chan
cellor.
The "vo,sische Zeitung" (RadicaD has
these comments:
Nobody of sound judgment desires more
severe legislation against the Socialists. II
is strange dispensation Of fate that Bis
marck went, because he wanted too severe
measures, and Caprivi because he wanted
too mild ones. Prince Hohenlohe has
proved by deeds his friendship for Prussia.
His name is connected intimately with the
history of German unity. He is of peace
full, conciliatory nature, and is opposed to
police legislation. His appointment is
guarantee that the foreign policy will re-
main in the old course. Baron Roller is
person of an entirely different sort He
won his spurs as police president of Frank
fort. He is friend of DR.. MIGUEL, and is
well fitted to spin the yarn of the Puttka-
mers and Eulenburg.

The London correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune says that probably there is no re-
sponsible statesman in Europe who does
not look with dread to the possibilities
which the death of the Russian Emperor
opens. What Lord Rosebery ssid at Shelf
field recently is no more than what all
Europe feels. He spoke for all Europe when
he described the Gar as "a monarch whose
watchwoId and whose reign and whose char
acter have been the worship of truth and
the worship of peace The prime min
lister and the late foreign minister of Great
Britain knows whereof he speaks when he
affirms publicly that eff peace has no. been
broken in more than one instance during
late years, it is due as much to the chsrac-
ter and Influence Of the Emperor of Russia
as to any other cause we can mention"

The Trials Of a Brave People.

For centuries the people of Germany trod
the wine-press of oppression and suffering
because of their sectional divisions and
local qusrrels, largely aggravated and in
creased by the selfish greed and unworthy
ambitions Of their princes and numerous
kings. This internal state of things placed
Germany at the marcy of the foreigner.
Thus Germany became the theater of the
warlike ambitions and dynastic s,hemes of
the French Bourbon monarchs, and the
worst scourge of all was that incarnation of
evil, Napoleon Bonsparte, who used the
German rival princes as trump cards in his
hands, and dealt with the people as un-
scrupulously as the Roman emperors treated
their subject barbarian races.
After long, painful, costly struggles this
sad condition of great people was ter
minated by the conquest and security Of
German unity under the iron rule of Bis
marck and the Emperor William who knew
enough to know the value of the services of
the great chancellor. But this German
unity was accomplished and is now main
tanned at enormous cost.
Imperialism, especially as illustrated by
the present emperor with his autocratic
ideas and restless ambitions, MOTTO speak of
his dangerous iliosyncrasies, backed
as he is by an immense army
to execute his will, must be fearfully
hard for fifty millions of people, so intelli-
gent as the Germans, to bear. Fear of
foreign encroachment and the loss of what
has cost them so dear, alone cause them to
endure this crushing imperialism. The
fall of Caprivi, as we'll as the discharge of
Bismarck by the young autocrat, and the
circumstances attending these striking
events in recent German history, are more
or less indicative of exciting periods and
unsettled politics which that country msy
have to endure in the not distant future.
Can despotic imperialism be permanent
with such people?

CLEVELAND WILL NOT SPEAK.
Neither Will He Allow Any One to Speak Tor
Him in Behalf Of the Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-President Cleve-
land still declines to accept the advice OF
his friends to make some sign indicative of
his desire for the success of the Democratic
party at the coming elections. He will net
write letter, submit to an interview, CT
authorize any one to make statement for
him. His failure to register, that he could
at least cast vote for the Democratic
ticket, causes the utmost surprise among
public men here, and is universally con-
demned. Even the few cuckoos who de-
fend his course in holding aloof from the
fight in New York state denounce his de-
termination not to vote as an act of petty
spite, of which the President of the United
States, no matter what his enemities, should
feel ashamed.
