WILL CARE FOR CREES.
Canada Willing to Take Charge of an
Indian Tribe.

HELENA, Mont, April Ex-Governor
Richards has received letter from A. Il.
Traiget, commissioner of Indian affairs
for the northwestern territories of the
Dominion of Canada, to the effect that his
government is willing to take charge of
all Cree Indians, requesting that the
same be delivered to him not later than
May 1.
Governor Richards sent Traiget's COM
munication TO Secretary Olney with the
request that he accept the Canadian gov
ornment's proposition. This Indian
matter has been under consideration since
1885. The Cree Indians are under the
charge Of Canada, having no reservation
of their own. They roam over the coun-
try, dirty and shiftless, and have spread
small pox over Montana several times.

HE IS ALI, RIGHT
BEFORE AND AETER USING

The New York Times, discussing the
attitude of the religious press toward Mr..
Bryan, remarks that ''the teachings of
the Gospel of peace and justice are in
volved in the duty of the citizen mt the
present crisis more than at almost any pre-
vious election" The paper then pro-
ceeds to say that sit is also true that the
logical and inevitable effect of Mr.. Bry-
an teaching is to SOW envy and unchar-
itableness in the hearts of large classes
and to stir them to conduct which would
lmperll law and order and work the most
serious mischief to these classes them
Selves
We, for one at least, do not see it: and
we have read Mr. Bryan's speeches very
carefully. Everywhere he has spoken
with moderation and striking good sense,
ana has seemed to use express and par
tlcular care to refrain from using any
expression that would he likely to "stir
up conduct which would imperil law and
order" In New York, with very great
sagacity, he read his speech; but elsewhere
he has made other speeches from the plat
forms of trains and on steps and other
places, and has delivered his ideas wi thout
preparations; and in every instance he
mas SAID only what was moderate, SEN
sible and true. There was on these oc-
casions the temptation to utter rash
things, II he had them in mind, and
abundant opportunity to ''sow envy and
| uncharitableness' had he the wish to dis
siminate such mischeivous influences;
but uniformly he exercised very great re-
| straint and wise caution, and uttered
| no syllable that was incendiary or malevo-

1t may be doubted, however, if he really
