DOING VERY LITTLE.

What has become of the Dawes IN
dian commission: What are the gem
,Iemen COMPOSING it doing to unravel
the last problem presented to civlilza-
ton by the Indian question: Is that
Indian Territory to stand indefinitely
a barrier to civilization and a menace
10 Justice? Is one of the brightest
sDots in all the west to remain It's
darkest spot. the refuge of desperate
mon and the scene of crimes: Is that
territory part of the United States or
is il still to be treated as a foreign
soil?
Nothing has been heard of the
Dawes commission nor of what Ii Is
accomplishing. if anything, in long
time. and December and its new con-
cress draws on apace. Inc people
were promised new order of things
under which the Indian was TO become
a citizen and his country part OF the
United States. In the meantime the
white man encrOaches. There is said
TO be 100000 of him in tine territory
now. The white man is building towns
and gaining vested rights. Some OF
them are there by the consent OF the
Indians. others because there was no
authority to forbid. but all of them
getting more or less of Il hold on their
surroundings, yet without any show
of title TO the lands upon which their
towns and homes are built. The last
heard of Mr. Dawes was that for the
sake of the wives and children of these
white settlers the commission was di-
recting its attention TO obtain for them
protection and titles TO their homes.
But above and over all these QueS-
lions is that of the Indian himself. his
rights and interests, the question OF
seyeralty or the tribal relation. The
result Of the last Indian election was
said to have been favorable for di'
vision of the lands in severaliy, but
the majority consent seems long way
off. so far away that it looks like the
commission would return to congress
empty handed.

An increase of 1901, 1SS head of
swine was attended in 1890 by a de-
cline of 4T.SSs, S57 in value. An in
crease of one-thirty- eighth in quantity
was attended by a fall Of One-sixth in
value.
In the same year a rise of 6J4.25S in
the number of mich cows was attend
ed by drop of S13,OT4 DAB in value.
A rise of 1,S16,607 in number of
oxen and other cattle was then at
tended by a drop of S36.G11.G15 in
value.
The same result appears in the crop
of potatoes in 1887, as compared with
that of 1886. and again If the crop of
1855 is compared with that N 1SSi.
Again, if the crop OF cotton in 1887 Is
compared with that in 1856. and again
if the crop of hay in 1885 is compared
with that in 1888. Again. If the crop
Of wheat in 1882 is compared with that
in 1881.
These facts need not be invariable in
order TO attract the serious attention
of farmers. 1t is sufficient that they
are frequent. They show that agri-
cultural competition is SO close 10 the
no-protit unexpectedly in those pro-
ducts in which there is a nearly uni
versal competition-that there is q
nearly constant tendency of prices to
call a halt on the farmers and warn
them off from a competitive race for
foreign markets in which the produe-
ton is almost certain To occur at loss.
If permanent prosperity is to come
it must come mainly through the IN
creased activity of our production OF
those products which Americans CHIEF
" consume.

THEY LOVE THE THEATER.

Havana Residents Though Few, support
Grand Opera for Months at Time.
One of the oldest places in Havana
is the theater. Here, as elsewhere, the
men and women are seated apart. In
some of them, at the end of each act
the house is emptied, and patrons are
compelled to purchase ticket for
every act of the performance. 1t is a
sort of seeing the show on the Euro
pean plan. In connection with the
theater, however, it is worthy to note
that Havana is probably the only city
of little over quarter of million
population on this continent that sup
ports comic and grand opera for con-
secutive months. with seats selling for
three dollars and upward, says the Bos-
ton Transcript The home of opera is
the Tacon theater, which was erected
in 1887 at cost of four hundred thou
sand dollars, since which time more
than thirty-fve thousand dollars has
been expended at different times in re-
pairing it. There are fourteen exits,
and the seating capacity is said to be
four thousand two hundred and fifty.
A visit to this house on an evening
when some favorite prima donna is to
appear is one long to be remembered.

Society bellies are not alone in their

Then he goes into full details about
the red spencer trimmed with black
braid, the blue cap, the sash of red
silk, from which handled acorns of
gold, and especially the slzy-blue panta
looms. 1T would be hard to imagine
uniform more coquet, he declares.

he found himself literally in a strait.
For three years he had been going

A SINGULAR FACT.
The Sense of Feeling Deadened in Cri
icgl Moments.

The Sense of Feeling Deadened in Crit
icsl Moments.
1t is comforting to know that in ex-
IRENE cases of bodily harm men suffer
much less than is commonly supposed.
Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador in
London, was once attacked by
bear, which tore off part of his
hand and part of his arm and
shoulder. He affirmed afterward that
he felt no sense of fear or pain.
What occupied his mind was feeling
of anger because the bear grunted
with so much satisfaction while thus
engaged"
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian off
GER, bears similar testimony. He was
seized by tiger, which held him with
one paw, and then deliberately de-
voured the whole of his arm. beginning
at the hand and ending at the shoulder.
He. too, is sure that he felt no fear
He believes he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand, but
feels certain that he felt none when
the tiger was munching his arm.
The author of among Men and
Horses. from whose book the forego-
ing facts have been gathered, relates
an experience of his own, bearing upon
the same point.
He was walking unarmed through an
Indian jungle, when tiger sprang up
almost at his fe 'For probably two
seconds, which seemed as many years"
says Mr.. Hayes, ''he raced round me,
while l stood stock still, wondering
why could not put out my hand and
catch him by the tail. That was the
only thought that occupied my mind
during those eventful moments, until,
with a bound and growl, the tiger
disappeared into the thick underbrush. :"

HANDICAPPED SY OUKEDOM.
One Grade Of British Mobility Which Has
Never Been Politically Popular.

One Grade of British Mobility Which Has
Never Been Politically Popular.
We may note q popularity in the
English feeling about titles, of which
we have never seen a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION, says the London Spectator.
The political populace dislike the title
of duke. Some of the ablest peers in
politics have been dukes; but to be a
duke weighs instead Of Tightening a
man IN the great race for power. There
is widely diffused impression, the
origin of which we cannot trace, that
duke is sure to be a little stupid, that
brilliant duke is, in fact, an impossible
ity. The title is positive drawback
to the duke of Devonshire, and a
duke of Derby would never have been
described as Rupert of Debate"
The duke of Argyll, who is an intel
lectual athlete, would have been far
more completely recognized as earl of
Argyll; and we are not sure that the
dukedom has not impeded one or two
promising politicians in the house of
lords. Certainly duke rarely rises
there, unless he becomes known to the
country before the title crushed him.
Is it that the rank overpowers the pop
ular imagination till men cease to see
the persona thing which constantly
happens in the case of kings-or is it
that men can never forget the special
rank by merging it into the simpler
and more familiar title of ''lord?" No
peer except a duke is invariably men
toned by the title which marks his
grade. We have no idea of the true
explanation, but we know that po-
litical earl who accepted a dukedom
would lose heavily in popular estima-
ton, and that even a marquis, like
Lord Salisbury, who would alter his
rank SO little, would find that the cor
onet of strawberry leaves acted, to
certain extent, as an eXtinguisher,
while if his son never entered the
house of commons he would have to
struggle against some inexplicable
weight. The fact is one of the very
oldest in the whole of the odd history
of the influence of rank, but of its
reality we entertain no doubt whatever
To say ''that is ducal opinion" is to
say that it is an opinion that no one in
our days need consider.
