OF rather peculiar and unnecessary

SILVER CRAZE OVER.

We are told that the silver question
Is settled. in other words hat the gold
bug creditor is on top and that Amer
lean prices which have fallen To the
European level must remain-the poor
continue poor and the rich rich. Not
only do the GOldbug organs SO declare
but the politician points To the result OF
the late elections and the salaried sta
tistician replies. yet, ii Is even 81.

remember that Democracy was defeat

called for the single gold standard. that

things which they have discovered Is
that the hard times which this country

are far from representative as we I'M
| derstand the word And lastly We have
an expression from an editor who is
trying to win The Indians over to bis
way Of thinking by argument
In short the Dawes commission is
again a failure. The Indians are OBJ
durate- Those who believe in break
ing up the tribal relations enter a
threatening plea, from which little en-
enlargement can be cleaned
AS the matter stands now the rulers
Of the Indians among themselves are
against any change. and the consent of
these rulers must be secured before any
definite change can be consummated-
The men against these rulers are fight
ing vain fight Sd far as immediate
results are concerned. And the Dawes
commission itself is taking things
easily.
AS present success in the civilization
of the governmental methods of the
Indian tribes is despaired of. 1t Is peril
nent TO ask how soon a change can be
IL
to answer. The great body of con-
gressmen are not able to understand
the conditions as they exist in the In
dian Territory. The old romantic idea
Of the noble red man with a bow and
culver Of arrows, still fingers in their
brains, and with il a fear that they will
do the Indian further injustice SO
that it is not likely that congress viii
make the change in the Indian Terri
tory until the Indians themselves, in
part, agree to that change. And the
agency which will bring that agree
ment from the marble-hearted Indian
IS the treating commission, which
whether called the Dawes commission
or moi, will by either stronger reason
or more rigorous threat bring the In
dams TO their senses, and make them
realize that the commission comes as
a benefactor, not as a conqueror. This
is probably years away. under ordinary
circumstances and VIII no crisis in
teryening When commission after
commission treats with the Indians 10
may finally come TO believe that Uncle
Sam is in earnest; and after thousands
of dollars expense and useless dilly-
dallying Uncle Sam himself may be
infinitely more in earnest in the mat
ter than he is today, for while the In
dian must now be blamed with OBJ
stinancy, the government, through the
Dawes commission, must also be
charged with a. lack Of honest en-
deavor.

THE DEADLY TUBERCLE,

The Chicago Tribune quotes from
the report of the New York Academy
Of Medicine the statement that the five
thousand people who die of consump-
ton every year in that city are inOcu-
lated, for the most part, by impure
milk and diseased meat 1t is a well
established fact that this dread dis
ease is communicated through the use
of milk and meat from animals affected
with tuberculosis. The disease is con-
tracted by cattle, sometimes through
climatic influence but mostly from i'm
perfect housing, bad sanitary arrange
ments and improper food. Dairy cows
are fed chiefly on brewery swill, which
Is known not only to produce impure
milk, but permanent disease in the ami
NAL. The two reasons for it's general
use is its cheapness and the increased
flow of milk. Considering the fright
full results, surely such mercenary mo-
tives are anything but justifiable on
any ground. Being criminal in the
highest degree for dealers to sell an
article for food known TO contain poi
son, it would seem that this death deal
ing agency has been discussed long
enough Its fatal consequences call
for action, and that Of kind which
will put an end to the wholesale murder
of innocent people. The only difference
between the midnight assassin and the
dealer who knowingly sells poisoned
milk or meat is in the means which
they employ to accomplish the same re-
suit The penalty should be the same,
and it certainly seems that drastic mea-
sures to prevent this crime cannot be
long delayed.
AS a means Of detection, inspectors
should be appointed, and required I'M
der heavy bond, TO examine and make
full report on all food products. The
law should provide that such report
should, at least, lead 10 a full inyesti-
CATION of any article condemned by the
inspectors. Dealers convicted OF hand
ling goods known to contain disease
germs should be shown no quarter
further than a fair and just trial in
the courts, and on conviction should
pay the murderers penalty. Until such
laws become general TIE only security
against the contracting of fatal disease
is TO stop eating and drinking.

The Australian ballot has caused trouble
