GOVERNOR MCKINLEY had a little ex-
perience in hastily defining his position
on some public questions last winter 1t
subjected him to SO much criticism that
he has probably concluded to wait until
he has ascertained the sentiment of the
people regarding the Cuban question
and then form his opinion in accordance
Herewith. 1t is so much easier to adj
just ones opinions to public sentiment
than it is to adjust public sentiment
to ones opinion. An adjustable set of
opinions is an excellent thing to keep in
stock.

THE Atlanta Constitution virtually &C.
knowledges that the Democrats have
hitherto been in minority in the Tenth
Georgia district, though declaring after
eachs election that their candidate had
won, when it says: "The secret of the
result in the Tenth district is an open
one. The dissatisfied Democrats who
had been acting with the Populists re-
turned to the party and stood with Con-
gresham Black on the free coinage plat
form" Since Blacks majority was only
1862 out of a total of 1900 votes it
doesn't look as though very many had
returned when it is considered that his
election has been claimed at each of the
two previous elections.

dance approaches, for three days before
the great day of the ceremony the par
Elephants enter upon a strict fast, which
is not broken until the dance mas been
finished. In the interim this secret anti
dote is freely administered by the medi-
cine man, and the dancers are busily
employed in capturing rattlesnakes in
the desert. Hundreds of these serpents
are caught in a most singular fashion,
The Indians cautiously approach them
and reduce them to submission by gen
tie strokes with wisp of straw. When
the serpents become languid and quies.
cent, they are dexterously seized and
thrust into bag and deposited in lit
tie corral near the spot selected on the
pueblo for the grewsone performance.
The Serpent's Trail.
The dance occurs at shutdown, and al
the hour appointed for this hideous cere-
mony to begin the dancers enter the
corrals without the slightest fear, and
seizing snake in either hand rush out
to take part in this mystic rite. They
Irvine these deadly serpents about their
bodies, coil them around their necks and
arms and even hold them in their mouths
by the middle and swing them to and
fro. They are repeatedly bitten by the
rattlers, but so powerful is the antidote
already absorbed by their systems that
only a slight irritation ensues, and the
Moquis pay no heed to the bites Of the
venomous reptiles. At the close Of the
dance the snakes, having been prevailed
upon to use their influence with the
powers that be for the coming year, are
released and wriggle away to their sandy
nests in the desert. During this dance
the women, who are never permitted TO
handle the serpents, are busy sprinkling
cornmeal on the dancers, the snakes and
indeed in every direction. Some relation
between the snake dance of the Moquis
and the weird and loathsome rites of the
southern Vaudoos might perhaps be es-
tablished by the ethnologist. Many ex-
perts declare the Moquis and PueblCs to
be the descendants of the Aztecs, but no
less an authority than Mr.. Thomas Don
aldson, the expert special agent, claims
in his census report that these curious
people are a remnant Of the Shoshones.
Strange indeed that between the reli-
gious ceremonies of northern Indians and
those of southern negroes there should
be the slightest similarity.

ARROGANT RESOLUTIONS.

The school board last night adopted
resolution committing themselves to the
policy shat in the future ne consider no
demand worthy the attention of this
board. except such as are created within
our own forces, never those that come
frem without"
This policy might be proper and ex-
cusable for such body as city council.
or board of police commissioners; but
fer board of education to lay down such
4 rule. ia indiscrest to say the.least The
matters intrusted to the board of educa-
ton are very near and dear to most citi-
zens. The education of the children is
matter very close to the hearts of all
parents
The money that is paid for school
books is paid by the scholars and not by
the board Purchases that are made by
the board with public funds should be
considered by the board only. But the
price of school books is a matter of great
interest to most of the patrons, and it
seems piece of great impudence that
the patrons of the schools are barred
from petitioning or making any re-
quests in that line. Quite loud demand
has been made by patrons of the schools
for cheaper school books. They feel that
they have been forced long enough to
pay prices for school books entirely too
high.
The members of the board should re-
member that they are the servants of the
people and should not hold themselves
above reasonable requests.
We think that any such position as has
been assumed by the board is likely to
meet with q severe rebuke from the peo-
pie if the issue is made at the polls as
laid down by the board in their resolu-
ton.
The last resolution of the board was
very foolishly worded.

WINsLow, A. T., October 5.-The re-
cent attempt OF the Indian bureau to es-
tablish schools among the. Moquis and
the hostility shown by the latter to
compulsory education have drawn con-
siderable attention to this curious and
interesting tribe. The transcontinental
tourist sees them first at this point,
where, lounging about the station in
picturesque garb, they profer their pot
terry and trinkets for sale. Their reser-
walton lies to the north Of Winslow and
joins the Navajo reservation on the
southwest. Unlike many of the nomadio
Indians of the great southwest, this
tribe has always dwelt in fixed habita-
tions and has lived for the most part by
tilling the soil, where other Indians
have subsisted by means of hunting and
fishing They resemble the Pueblos of
New Mexico in their mode of living and
are believed, like them, to have come
originally from wild northern tribes.
They dwell in communities in the lofty
pueblos without doors, climbing up on
ladders, which they draw up after them
at night. Whether they originally con-
ceived this plan of building their vii
lagos as a defense against wild beasts or
the fierce Navajoes, their ancient enc
mics, is not known. But their houses
are picturesque, their manners and Gus
toms most curious, and their women are
exceedingly pretty. Their system of ag
riculture is interesting, and they are
skillfu1 blanket weavers and pottery
manufacturers. They make most Of
their household utensils as well as their
jewelry, toys and trinkets. There are
seven of these Moqui pueblos in Ari-
IONA, and they contain over 1 900 peo-
pie. Their 'dobes cling to lofty cliffs
above a desert waste, and if the tourist
take the trouble to journey from Wins
low to the reservation he Will be repaid
for his pairs.
