Indians Can be Civilized,

We wish to take exceptions to the
.rathor extreme statement made by
last Fridays Standard in regard to
the susceptibility of the American
Indian to educational influences.
If the editor of the Standard will
visit either the sFort Shaw Indian
school or the Piegan agency, he will
be convinced that Poor 10 can and
will do something besides sit in the
door Of his tcpce, smoke kinnikinick
and draw rations. The piegans are
getting out irrigation bitches and
raising potatoes, grain and hay,
dressing like citizens and apparently
taking as much interest III the pur-
suits Of civilization as the editor of
the Standard is taking in pursuing
the Indian. If you will ride across
the reservation you will see Poor Lo
following the plow, riding the hur-
ricane deck OF the festive mower or
rounding up his cattle. You will
learn from Major Steele that the In
dians arc building houses, barns and
graneries and you will find some very
well-to-men among the Piegans.
You will learn from Zoe kipp that
lie is as safe in allowing the Indian
to run book account as is the or.
dinary merchant in opening accounts
with white men indiscriminately.
They are becoming civilized no doubt,
through good management. Go to
the Fort Shaw school andlearn some
thing you never Observation-Disclosures

Back to Scryia.

Portland, Aug. 2S.--A Seryian,
travelling under the name Of John
Giboyich left for the east to-
day, accompanied by man who, he
claims, is a cousin Of the ex-king of
Servia. The man is 76 years old,
and has been waiter in a Spokane
restaurant for the past four months.
He came to America two years ago,
SO the story goes, with 5000, 900
which lie squandered in New York
and San Francisco In the latter
place he was known as an Italian
couut, and, it is said, moved in high
society. Gibovich says he has royal
to escort the man to his
native country.

Murdered BY. indians.

EIrcne, O. H., Aug. 2s.-It is re.
ported that Captain Baldwin, U. S.
A., acting agent at Kiowa, Apache
and Comanche agency, at Anadarko,
was murdered last night by Indians.
The federal officers think the murder
was committed by the gamblers and
whisky pcddlars, against whom Capt.
Baldwin was wagjng relentless war,
There is considerable excitement
here, and d large party 'of deputy
marshals is on the way to the scene.

Two Years Of Grover.

1t ought to ne enough to condemn
finally any political party that, in
two years of it's administration Of
public affairs, in period Of profound
peace, has created a efficiency in the
public treasury Of nearly 115 million
dollars. That is the record for the
twenty-four months ending with
June 90 this year. After tearing
business to pieces in an effort to pass
q tariff for revenue only. it is found
that this particular tariff is remark
able for nothing SO much as for in
ability to produce revenue. Possess
ing really unlimited power of taxa
tion Of the richest nation in the
world, and with it ability to compel
foreigners to pay literally for selling
their wares in our market. the men
who rule us have been running the
government largely on borrowed
money, for some Of which they have
paid from II to IS per cent. The
American people now owe, chiefly to
foreigners, 1852 million dollars more
debt than they owed before Mr..
Cleveland came iuto office. For 80
years we had surplus which we de-
voted to paying off the debt. We
are far better able now than we were
ten years ago to pursue that policy;
but, instead Of pursuing it. we are
living on borrowed money, while our
European rivals are growing fat up
on the sale, in this market, Of goods
which ought to be made in our own
mills. Had last Noyember's elections
not gone as they did, there would
have been some ground for the belief
that the American people, after ::all
are not really capable of Intelligent
lf-gOvernment.- Record.

Sorry For the Girls.

When the women all wear boomers
and their skirts are laid away; when
their legs are no mere rumors, hid
from the light Of day; when their
pctticoat's forgotten, with it's swish
ing, Whisking swirls, and there is
less demand for cotton, III be sorry
for the girls. LII be sorry for the
lassies who in school are at their
books--aU the head or foot of classes
-Ill be sorry for their looks: for
their mas will make their trousers,
and good hcayen don't we know,
who were boys, but are not now, sirs,
that they'll make a holy show? It is
bad enough when Willie wears pants
his mother made, and it often knocks
you silly just to see the youthful
blade wearing pants that no man
knOWeth which is front and which is
back-if he cometh or he goeth,
there is quite an equal "slack."
But your Susie! Oh, 'tis CALLING;
tears will downward glance
when you hear the urchins calling,
"Say, where did you get them pants?"
You will see her, youthful glowing,
but by no dead certain rule can YOU
tell, if She is going or coming home
from school. There'll be trouble,
you'll allow, sirs, there'l be anguish
for your pas. when your daughters
all wear trousers that are just re-
from mas. So I'm weeping
as I'm writing and my great tears
fall like pearls, scarce | know what
I'm inditing, for I'm sorry for the
girls.-Exchange.

Not Tired Of Fighting.
Every one feels that the be;

Every one feels that the peace is
only lull in a storm which will pre-
sently rage all the more furiously.
Russia is now the object of Japanese
hatred, and little attempt is made
to conceal the fact. Against Russia,
Germany and France even the great
est jingo admits Japan is helpless.
But it is quite otherwise with Russia
single-handcd. All ranks and classes
are confident that they can punish
Russia. Russia is inviting attack.
Her slips move about prepared for
action, with all possible woodwork
removed and the hulls painted sea
green. This is exasperating, but the
bitterest blow is The news that in
Corea, Russian intrigue has COM
pletely foiled Japan. The ;Japa nese
agent already finds himself a cipher
and is coming home. The japanese,
however, will not resign Corea with
out fight. IT Russia actually occu-
pies the peninsula hostilities will be-
gin. AS the troops return from the
Liautung peninsula they are being
sent north ready, should war result,
to be landed in Corea. "It would be
no child's play for Russia" says the
Daily News writer. SIN ironclads
She is superior, but the greater speed
Of the Japanese crsaisers would give
them greater advantage and pre-
vent Russia from forcing a pitched
naval BATTLE" Guns strained during
the recent fights are being replaced
and the boilers cleaned and over
hauled. In another month Japan
will be ;rcady for her formidable foe.
Clearly we are emily at the beginning
of things in the far cast.

: An American Shot,

Guadalajara, Mcx.-Aug 28.-Gco.
S. Morris, an American mining man,

ness deal, and the Spaniard issued

ceivcd bullet in his breast. No ar

QUANTREI.l'S TRAGIC END.
Death Of Veteran Who Knew Much Of
The Raiders killing

Little Rock, Ark, Ang. 30.-Cap-
tain Simon Horsely, a man who
served with distinction under Gen.
Forrest, died at the home of his
brother, Roger, this state, yesterday.
Intimate friends have known for
some time that he knew of the kill
ing Of the noted confederate, Guam
trell; but the facts did not become
generally known until his death.
Horsely was sent as recruiting
officer by Gen. Forrest into Kentucky,
and as Quantrell was returning from
a <aid, he stopped in the vicinity Of
Bardstown and began depredations.
Horsely, at the request Of citizens,
waited on Quantrell and asked him
to dcsist, but Quantrell would not
listen to the demand. lie was
warned to make no more raids on the
the property OF Kentucky confeder-
ates, and the two men separated. 1t
was in the spring Of 1865, and Guam
trell became desperate. He made
another raid, and during an engage
ment with a detachment of Ken
lucky troops, Quantrell was killed.
Mr.. l1orsely was an honest and re-
liable citizen, and contided secrets to
some OF his Masonic friends that they
would not divulge as long as he lived.
Now that he is dead they arc willing
to supply this missing link in the
history Of the lost cause and throw
all possible light oc the tragic end Of
Quantrells murderous career. 1t
had been generally believed that
Quantrell was killed by the federal
troops. ...-
