AN OHIO AUTHORITY.

CFrom the Cleveland Plaindealerl
The rising to the surface on the stream
of humanity of these masses of unem-
ployed men, their faces turned to Wash
ington, with half formed purposes and
many of these as impracticable as foam
on the sea, is a phenomenon in the his
tory of our country that demands serious
consideration.
the driftwood on the surface shows
which way the wind blows and the cur
rent of a mighty river runs. Back behind
this floating mass of discomfort and I'M
rest is much larger and more powerful
body, whose discomfort is expressed at
their home firesides. They are good cit
liens, but they know that something is
wrong in the business world. They see
vast fortunes accumulated such as they
have never seen before. They see them
selves unable to lay up money under the
most rigid economy. They are barely
able to pay the interest on the mortgages
on their homes or farms They know that
by law a fair and just distribution of
earnings is prohibited. They know that
the people are prostituted by the use of
money in elections. They see a wide
spread disregard of law and lawmakers
They have no confidence in men who buy
positions. Many of these people for the
last three years have not had steady
work, and during the last year want has
stared them in the face. They are the
real sufferers-patient but restless They
demand a reformation in the tax laws.
They demand justice and fair dealing
and the abolition of special privileges
and their will must prevail If this is
not done, if times do not grow better,
then they will demand a restoration of
silver as a money metal equally with
gold. They will not long tolerate legis-
lation which is for plutocracy only. There
comes a point where patience ceases to
be virtue That point is always where
mi justice to the masses is protected by
law. The wrath Of God is often but the
vengeance of the people trying to break
the chains of slavery from their necks. 1t
is the old, old story of history. May wis
dom prevent its repetition in our country.
1t needs no prophetic eye to see that
there is a cause for this disease in the
body polite.

LUXURIOUS INDIANS.

Conveniences.

Especial Correspondence
ABILENE, Kan, April 26.-It pays to
be an Indian-an Usage Indian They
are the richest tribe in the world, and
renewed attention has been called to
them by the number of visitors to their
reservation south of Arkansas City and
the improvements that leading men of
the tribe are making on their property
this spring. Their reservation is mostly
occupied by cattlemen as grazing land,
and the rental is added to the income of
1915 which each member of the tribe
receives in cash annually from the gov
eminent as interest on the purchase
price of lands sold to Uncle Sam long
ago. There are but 800 members of the
tribe, and they are steadily decreasing
in number. They want to sell all their
reservation to the government except a
farm apiece, divided in severalty, and
such a result is likely to occur soon. 1t
will add another cash income to the al
seady wealthy redskins possession.
The Osages have no need to work and
consequently spend their days in idle.
ness. They buy recklessly, using every
cent of their pension, for why should
they save? They will be taken care of as
long as they live. Since the opening of
the strip towns have been started near
the reservation especially to catch their
trade. and in some instances success
fully.
A luxury seen nowhere else on the
prairies is observable among the dwl l.
ings of the reservation Spacious homes,
lawns and buildings are frequent. Pri-
vate tutors, drivers, servants-all of the
Caucasian race-wait on the pleasure of
the swarthy skinned Indians Carriages
that would grace Michigan avenue or a
New York boulevard roll smoothly over
the level prairie roads, drawn by horses
that boast the purest blood.
Frank DenOya, one of the prominent
leaders, has just completed a SIS, 200

vices from Honolulu to Dec. % have been

which has just arrived from San Fran

an Associated Press correspondent that the
excitement In Honolulu over the political
situation was growing IN intensity
The provisional government was as firm
rs ever in its determination to maintain
its position and was continuing its prepara

made to restore the monarchy. The mem
bers OF the police force OF the island had
been notified that they would be expected
TO take arms in defense Of the government
and number of them had been dismissed
from the service for refusing to obey this
order

The officers further stated TO the inter

had decided in favor Of the restoration Of
the queen.
The minister, in his communication, in
formed the government that Liliuokalani
had agreed TO grant amnesty TO all those
who had taken part in the revolution, 70
ratify the obligations of the present gov
eminent and TO govern faithfully In ac-
cordance with the present constitution.
The government was preparing a long re-
ply TO the minister.
The Commercial Advertiser Of Honolulu,
in an article supporting the government,
declares that the United States congress
has taken the matter out Of President
Cleveland's hands by calling for the papers
in the Hawaiian correspondence, and as
serts that the provisional government will
not retire from power unless 1t is com
PEELED TO by force, and says that this is not
likely to be employed.

TARIFF BILL DEBATE IS DELAYED.
senator Hoar Keeps tho Hawaiian Matter
Alive IN the neutrality-suspicious. DEM
ocrats Have Ohjections--AIany Postmas-
torships Distributed.

WAsHiNGroN, Jan. 5.--'rhe session Of the
senate was significant ia two respects,
through brief and unimportant as far as
action Is concerned. Senator Hoar Of the
Republican side introduced a resolution
calling ON the secretary OF the treasury for
his authority for the payment Of Special
Commissioner Elount for his Hawaiian
services, and Senator Gray of the Demo
cratic side served notice that on Tuesday
next the Democrats would insist upon tax
ing up the federal elections bill aud con-
tinuing with It's consideration until the
measure should be finally disposed Of.
The object of Senator Hoar's resolution
is maniiestly to call into question the right
OF the presidents to send n personal COM
missioner 10 Hawaii. or indeed any COM
missioner, without the concurrence Of the
senate first obtained by the confirmation Of
his nomination, aud this object Is Of course
most effectively reached by demanding the
authority of the secretary OF the treasury
for the payment of Commissioner Blount
for his services and expenses
The notice of Senator Gray indicates that
the Democrats are determined TO dispose
OF the federal elections bill at an early day
and before IL can be hampered by the tariff
bill or any other party measures which
might come over from the house demand
ing early consideration through motives OF
party expediency. The bill will be taken
up Tuesday, aud it Is expected that IL will
continue TO bo the paramount question In
| the senate until finally disposed OF.
The Democrats in the house lacked just
20 votes Of n quorum, and the Republicans
again succeeded in blocking the debate on
the tariff bill. 10 is almost certain that the
Democrats will have quorum present TO.
