SPAIN AND EUROPE.

Spain is calculating very much on re-
cciving strong backing i'll Europe if war
should arise between that country and
the United States over the Cuban ques-
ton: but war with Il government like
ours is something that no European ma
ton would like to engage in, especially
when most of the fighting would be done
some of Uncle Sans warships should de-
eide t. carry the conflict to the very doors
of the other combatants. England, in
view of the friendly feeling now existing
between that country and the United
States, would he very 10th to fight on
the side of Spain, and rs France has her
hands full with Madagascar, it is hardly
probable that she would care 10 assist the
Spaniards.
Italy has no special love for this gov
eminent, and Germany would perhaps
like to get whack at us, but both have
their hands full just at this time, the
first with the African problem, and the
second with internal matters. Russia is
besides, has no desire TO engage in war
with her oid-tlme friend, Uncle sam. SO
on the whole, Spain, if she declares war
against the United States, will have II
very lively Zine and in the end size will
find herself minus Cuba and all of her
other West Indian possessions. Without
the active assistance of some European
power the Dons would all soon he used

Bile that ''Wlliam, the War Lord, ''of that
empire may be induced TO give the
United States II taste of real fighting by
sending over part of his magnificent
army to the assistance of Spain in Cuba
No matter how other countries may
feel about it, however, it is very plain
that the United States and Spain are
drifting closer and closer towards Il
war. The Presidents message, while
less of n mcnacing character, and the
Spanish government and people SO under
stand it. The outbreaks of popular re.
sentiment in Spain and the open and
avowed sympathy of the people here with
the instruction, all show the inevitable
drift of events in both countries, which
is towards war: but if war is to come,
the sooner the better. Cuba is we'll worth
fighting for, and under the stimulus of
American energy and capital, it would,
and most populous countries on the
globe. If we must have war, let us have
Cuba.

ALBINo BIRDS AND BEASTS.

but so dimly as to appear pure white
at a short distance. Some years ago
an old quail with Is young, all albinos,
were reported from California by a cor
respondent of the same paper. Many
individual albino quail are reported
and few albino ruffed grouse. The
london Field lately noted the finding Of
albino and pied rocks, crows and black
birds, and white house marten. It
also told about a white badger that was
taken in a weasel trap short time ago.
A pure white deer and d notified one
were reported killed on WILDLY island
in Puget sound, lately. Three or more
white wild turkeys are Known to have
been killed during the past Is years.
One bird in Tennessee was known as
the "Old White Witch Turkey" lie

rally, but it wasn't very long after he
was Matched that he learned that being
white was not all comfort. The hen
turkeys liked him exceedingly. and ono
of his offspring, a gray bird, was killed
in 1882, while others of light color were
seen. Hundreds of bullets were fred
at the witch bird, but without success,
and he probably died natural death
in some out-of-the-way clump of
bushes.
For many years albinos were thought
to be barren, but observation has proved
this to be erroneous. One, female
robin, reared a brood Of young for five
successive seasons up the Hudson. and

Although They Have Good schools There
Are Many Blanket Indians.
The reaerx ations are too small to per
NIT the old, wide-ranging indian habits,
and the red men are compelled to live
IN loca-ties entirely unsuited to the
wild customs of their forefathers.
Through this changed condition, ii has
frequently been said tAe Indian viii
rapidly die our; but Information re-
ceited at the Indian bureau shows this
IS an error. There are now about 500
900 Indians in the United States, and it
is evident that they are increasing in
panie S.
People snay differ as to the past treat
ment oil the Indians, and as to whether
it was right To take fiom them the vast
empire now occupied by the millions
Of thriving, Industrious whites, but it
las been done, and no one can doubt
that it now rests upou us to give the In
dian an occupation which wil take the
place of that former rowing life which he
has lost
We have compelled him 80 make way
for Civilizations; he must be civilized in
order - become SelI-supportin in the
conditions forced on him. Among the
things which we give him are schools,
ia which $4,000 Indian children are now
being taught. These schools are of
three s-non-sectarian. boarding
schools and day schools.
Chief among the non-sectarian board
ing-schools is the large school at Car
Isle, Pa. Here $50 Indian boysand girls
are taught those branches which our
own children learn in grammar and
high school. During portions of the
year these children are hired out to the
good people CT Pennsylvania in places
where they are required to work on
farms and in private families
This, of course, is great help to the
young Indians. 1t gives them an insight
into practical life, and teaches them
how to act for themselves. The children
in a school like this are fitting not sim
| ply to go back on the reservations. but
| TO scatter throughout the United States
and take their chances with the rest OF
our citizens. They are taught how to
work and support themselves by labor,
and this is a lesson which every child
should learn whether red, white or
black.
Progress is Being made by many of the
| Indians Some ct them now teach In
! aian schools; some follow various me-
| ehanieal pursuits; and many more
readily learn to watch aud herd cattle.
| But blanket" Indians arc still to Be
found ia very great numbers.
I By blanket Indians we mean those
who do not wear citizens clothes, but
/ who are clad in buckskin Shoes and leg
gings, and wrap themselves in great
/ blankets instead OF wearing coats and
vests, while some of them in warm
weather wear scarcely any clothing at
all
Many of them still know nothing OF
civilization or of Christianity Their
religious ceremonies are too often still
heathenish, and they are regardless OF
marriage ties.-Secretary IIoke Smith
