THE leaders of the civilized tribes
may imagine that they have their
people with them in resisting any
action looking towards radical
change in the statu quo, but in
this they are very much mistaken.
The Indians are overwhelmingly in
favor of IA division of property, a
dissoluti& IN of the tribal arrange
ment, and ian immediate settlement
OF the 9hole matter. They have
at last understood that the white
intruders," who have made their
country habitable, are not desirous
of robbing them of one solitary
foot of ground, or of one cent of
money which is rightfully theirs,
and they would prefer to have the
disposal of their own, to continu
ing a system in which it may ap-
pear they participate, but which is
as corrupt and as much out for
Doodle as any constituted govern
ment, with the fact staring them in
the face that no move of their own
can free them, and their only sal
yation is in the legislation which
their rulers antagonize Congress
has now taken hand; the work of
the Dawes Commission is bearing
fruit, and reform IS in the atmos-
phcre. A change is imminent, and
the Indian knows that now is the
accepted time for getting in on the
ground floor, for they cannot hope
to keep on doing business at the
old stand much longer By will
lingness to treat, much may be
saved. which in the present tenn
per of congress, if thwarted by
obstinacy, would be irrevocably
lost. Chickasha Gazette.

THE ARDMOREITE' $ subscription
list has increased very materially
this month, a contingency for
which we are very thankful to our
friends. The larger the circula-
ton of a paper. the more valuable
as an advertising medium and it is
our aim to afford that necessary
quality to the fullest extent possi-
BILE. The ARDMOREITE has never
at any time since its existence
retrograded in its circulation, on
the contrary each succeeding month
it has been given an increase OF
readers. This being true we can
offer to the business men of Ard
more superior inducements in the
matter OF advertising. The ARD
MoREITE is read by the people
who buy goods. 1t is a paper of
and for Ardmore and surrounding
country.

son why the same condition should not
exist here. This is something for the
people 10 attend to. by advocating
more general adoption Of eo-education.
A feature more directly in the hands
Of the Commissioners OF Education is
the Inauguration Of more advanced
course Of study. The night schools Of
other cities go 4 step beyond elemen-
tary study. and in many eurriculums
courses Of lectures on law and medi-
cine have been not only popular but in
strumental in giving more than one
Young man the opportunity 10 advance
which otherwise his financial eircum-
stances would not permit. While Homo
lulu may not be large enough 10 make
instruction in these branches feasible,
there is no doubt that classes above
The primary grade, and a course OF lee
lures touching on literature, arr or his
tory. will not only be a valuable ad-
junet TO the night school, but also
highly appreciated by many young men
and women-possibly older ones too

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS.

Thus it is apparent that in Indiana
only of all these doubtful states where
the battle is to rage the fiercest have
the populists ever held the balance Of
power, and then only by a narrow
margin. In Kentucky, West Virginia,
and Maryland they are a weak or
dwindling force, while in Michigan
and Iowa they can not accomplish re-
suits on the basis of past experiences.
In Illinois they have q fair strength,
but not a controlling power. The
value OF their Endorsement of Bryan,
therefore, seems questionable, espec-
tally as it is conceded that they will
ALLEVIATE many votes from the regular
democratic party, and that at best they
can only throw a part of their entire
strength TO the Chicago nominee.

WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND THE
ORIENT.

Notwithstanding the high state Of civ
ilization which the Anglo-Saxon OF to-
day has attained, there are not few
who believe that the advanced" ma
tions Of the world are following in the
pathway Of ancient Greece and Rome;
that civilization will lead to degeuera-
ton, and that the time viii come when
the hordes Of Asia will overwhelm the
present molders Of progressive develop
ment. True il is that such a state of
affairs is possible, though a very small
minority will accept the probability Of
the theory.
\ French writer who takes the West
ern Civilization and the Yellow World"
for his theme touches this point indi-
rectly when he theories on what the
400, O00 600 Chinese viii do now that
they have suddenly been drawn into the
vortex OF Western civilization, after
many years of resistance. He points out
that the civilization Of the East and
West differs in every detail, and such an
intermingling Of the two systems as
took place when the Romans met the
barbarians seems almost out OF the
question Both systems have grown in
different directions TO such an extent
that one must become the subject Of the
other, and he figures that the Chinese
must be the subject.
The immediate result o. the infu-
a1ce OF Western thought mus 1e

Empire has 50 far heen preserved By
the powerful Influences Of family life
and the extreme latitude which IS

Pendence and the central power Of gov
