all evils come from rulers. This has
been the case ever since the organize

The general dissatisfaction with the

followed as a natural consequence.
The dissatisfied did not stop to think
that the panic was coming on before
the Democrats came into power and
that nothing could check its momen-

WASHINGTON, D. G., August IT,
In spite of reports to the contrary, it
may be definitely stated that the In
dian Bureau as yet has taken no steps
whatever looking to the punishment
of the Jacks0n's Hole settlers for the
killing OF Bannock Indians. The bu
reau has sent no communications on
the subject TO the Department OF Jus.
tice 1t is probable, however, that
steps will be taken almost immediate
~ TO bring those engaged In the kill.
ing TO justice. The delay has been
caused by the fact that no law was
known under which the United Stat, 5
courts could take cognizance OF the
matter, and il is regarded as practi.
cally impossible to secure a conviction
in the Wyoming State courts, owing
TO the strong feeling against the IL,
dians. To-day, however, it was dis.
covered that the trea.y Of July s,
1868, between the United States and
the Bannocks and Shoshone Indians
had a provision directly applicable to
the present case Under il the machin.
cry of the United States courts might
be invoked TO determine judicialIy the
culpability of the settlers. The secoud
paragraph Of the article Of the treaty
reads as follows:
If bad men among the whites or
among the other people subject to the
authorities Of the United States shall
commit any wrong upon the persons
or property of the indians, the United
States will, upon proof to the agent
and forwarded to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs at Washington CITY.
proceed at once to cause the offenders
to be arrested and punished according
to the laws OF the United States. and
also reimburse the injured persons for
the loss sustained"
While the bureau has not vet de.
cided on its course of action, il is
probable that request will be made
by the United States Deputy Marshals
under the provisions OF the treaty.
The persons arrested can then sue for
writs Of habeas corpus, thus bringing
the validity of the treaty and the
whole status Of the Indians into court

GOVERNOR STONE, OF Missouri, who
attended the silver meeting at Wash
ington last week, thus outlines the
future work of the organization
"We will name one man from each
State as a national committeeman,
and we are going to get real workers.
The way to organize is to go to work.
That's what it means, and it won't do
any good to appoint member of this
committee whose ideas of organization
are that he must sit in an Office and
wait for people to come to him with
suggestions and ideas. He must get
out and hustle"

more or less detrimental to business
and industrial interests. They divert
attention from the ordinary affairs OF
life and cause men to neglect duties
and responsibilities that are more inn
pOrtant, generally speaking, than
those of politics. There is no good
reason why whole summer should
be spent in attending public meetings
and listening to repetitions of familiar
arguments. The people keep them,
selves posted upon current issues, and
do not need this prolonged special in
struction in order to learn how they
ought to vote. 1t is true that a GER
tain degree OF activity and enthusiasm
is advantageous to parties as parties,
and there can be no objection to a
reasonable amount of stump speaking
and other forms Of electioneering, but
as rule, this sort of thing is much
overdone in this country, and consid.
erably less of it would be fully as
effective so far as practical results are
concerned.-Exchange.

Distributing the Checks.

The checks for the Nez Perez In
dians, amounting to $626,222, ar
rived at Lewiston last Friday evening.
Company A, 4th Regiment U. S. cav
airy stationed at Walla Walla, arrived
in Lewiston Sunday morning, having
marched overland from Dayton, and
after short stop moved on to Lap
wal, wnere they arrived in the after
noon and pitched camp in the pretty
grove across the creek from the
agency. The company is in command
of Capt. Smith and Lieut. Voorhees,
and is provisioned for thirty days. 1t
is not known how long they will re.
main and Agent Fisher has expressed
desire to the department to have
them remain until after the trust pat.
ents are issued to the Indians, which
should be but a few weeks. Should
the presidents proclamation be issued
and the reservation be thrown open in
the very near future, it is probable
this company would remain until
the opening and be reinforced by sew.
eral others.
Mr.. Fisher does not think he will
be able to give out more than from
90 to 70 checks per day, on account
Of the necessary red tape, for every
Indian will have TO be properly identi-
fed, give duplicate and triplicate re-
ceipts, etc AS there are 500 checks
it will probably take two weeks to
complete the distribution. During
this interesting time a detachment of
soldiers will be at the Agents office,
and no one will be allowed to enter
except the interpreters, clerks, two or
three leading Indians for purposes of
Identification and the recipients of the
checks. The Lewiston banks have
made ample arrangements to cash all
checks as fast as presented. The
Agent has advised the Indians to de.
post their money in the banks and
draw out only such as they need, and
this good ADVICE will doubtless be
followed by the great majority of
them. The Nez Perces are credited
with being the most intelligent Of all
Indians and there is no likelihood of
a repetition Of the scenes when the
Spokane and other Indians squander
ed their money for everything in
sight, even to hearses. The Nez Perces
VIII do with their money just about as
the average white man would.
As to when the presidents proclaim.
alton opening the reservation will be
issued, no one knows. The 81 alIot-
ments necessary before anything could
be done have been completed and for
warded to Washington. There remains
nothing further TO be done at this
end Of the line and there should be
but little to be done at Washington. |

tho Same Standard.
Whether it is that we arc poorer, or
that We are moro luxurious and exacting
in our tastcs, and hat tho girls of today
require more i'll their marriage than the
ordinary Englishman can afford, 1 can
hot say, but unless girls have great
beauty or largo fortunes We hear much
more of tho difficulty Of their marrying.
Among the mass of women, however,
there is no revulsion from tho marriage
tie, and all healthy minded girls and
women seem to be just as much interest
cd Ill tho question as wero their grand
mothers. The ono great fact that has
Kept English society is the inviolability
OF the marriage tie. Infidclity in n mar
ried woman is surely reason enough to
Justify her husband in getting rid Of
her, and tho woman who clamors for
divorce on tho same grounds as men is
surely lowering tho standard of female
purity i'll Il ruthless way. Is man, with
his stronger, coarser, moro animal ma
turo, to be judged by tho samo standard
OF chastity as Il woman, with her higher
ideals of life, her purer nature, and the
exemption from temptation which she
enjoys?
If We think for n moment of the
temptation to which men are exposed
from their very early youth, and which
they undoubtedly combat very unsuc-
cessfully, and which attacks them ut O

did you ever hear of u strong, able

According to tho story told me by q
passenger who camo down with mo
from tho sound, this man settled in
Alaska years ago. Ho married n native
woman, and Sho bore him n son. A few
years later the mother died, and all the
affection of the half savage father cen
tered on tho son. Nothing was too good
for the lad, and everything in tho WAY

when tho boy WIGS old enough, his
father took him out on all his hunting

"Ono fatal day ho attacked an old
bull walrus, but instead of killing it he
himself was the victim. When tho father
saw tho dead body of his son he was

into a species of madness. Now all lie
