If there is a man in America to-day, whose
opinion of that which has to do with the In
dams and their habits is of value, it is
that of the Hon. VIM. F. Cody Buffalo Billy.
The years of his life spent with them as a
government scout and his later life of success,
combined with the respect and admiration
felt for him by the entire world, make his
words an unquestionable authority, on any
thing to do with this subject.
When such man as this, in times Of sick
ness resorts to medicines and obtains relief
by their use, that are of nature's own brew
ing, made by natures own children = the
Indian = from her all powerful roots, banks
and herbs, as they themselves gather them,
it would seem that the example he thus gives
to the world should be followed and prof
tied by.
Note what he says in his own words con-
corning the wonderful results to be obtained
by the famous Kickapoo Indian Sagwa -

Learned professors are given to blum
deriag as we'll as other folks. For in
stance, the other day, Prof. E. W. bemis,
late Of tia Chicago University, in lee
tOrs in Boston, cited Portland as an ex-
ample Of one of the worst governed cities
in the country. Yet the fact is exactly
the opposite. Portland is and always
las hesn one of the hest'governed cities
in the country. Furthermore it is one
Of tie best behaved cities in the country.
The average Of Intelligence and morality
is very high sssorime is infrequent and the
psr cent OF abieob poverty is very. small.
Prof. Bemis is Jrying to show that bad
municipal government is not attributable
to any sensible degree to- foreign pop
ulations and he oited Portland, city
with a small population of that kind,
in sapport Of his theory. When he ascer-
tains the truth, if he ever does, he will
either have to revise his theory or admit
that Portland is an exception to it.

The Dominion government has decided
to withdraw the remedial sohool bill
which was to force separate schools upon
Manitoba. This is undoubtedly the re-
suit of the visit of the government COM
missioners to Manitoba, during which
they discovered that the government
would have to back up its bill with bayo-
nets before separate schools could be
forced upon the province.

In his remarks on the Oldtown CON-
tsstsd election case. Judge Emery ex-
pressed the opinion that the effect of the
law for the preservation of ballots was
to make the courts virtually returning
board that might be appealed to to re-
count the votes in any contested election
case. If that is the effecU of that statute
it ought to be promptly repealed. The
ultimate result Of calling the court in to
count the vote in disputed election cases
VIII bs to discredit it with a
large part of the people The true policy
is to keep the courts as far away from
political disputes as possible. As regards
provisions sfor Erecounts the best policy
would be to abolish them all. A sacond
count Is not likely to be superior in &C.
curacy or honesty to the first, or to COM
mand more public confidence. Let the
ballots be counted once in the presence Of
representatives Of all parties and then
destroyed. So long as they are
preserved there will always be an I'M
profitable hnllabaloo like that of the
Oldtown case, whenever an election is
CLOSE.

Harvard and Yale May Get Together.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov 3O-Thcrc is no
longer any doubt that Harvard and Yale
will resume relations in all branches of
athletics next spring, though as yet there
has been no common agreement between
the two colleges, and Harvard's present
position is not clearly understood. Har-
ward is as ready as Yale to make u treaty,
but she will wait to hear from tho New
Haven authorities. Two years, ago when
the break came, Harvard assumed posi-
ton which she will maintain, and now,
although anxious to arrange matters ami
cably, Harvard will expect Yale to take
the initiative in the resumption Of athletic
contests. The probable outcome Of the
matter will be the request by Yale for q
conference on athletics.

Russia VIII Not Aid France.

PARIS, Nov. 30.-Tho luncheon which

from st. Petersburg has given to the
Grand Duke Alexis; NJ, De Giers, of tho
Russian embassy; M. Hanotaux, the min.
lister Of foreign affairs; Admiral >Gervai1
and Admiral Duperre, is much paraded,
apparently with an intention to convey
tho impression that the rumors of the
failure Of the Comte do Montebello's mis-.
sion to St Petersburg are unfounded.
Nevertheless, it appears to be certain that
tho mission was so far without results
that Russia firmly declined to encourage
any hope of the restoration of Alsace and
Lorraine or the coercion of Turkey, and,
in fact, only promised France moral sup.
port in matters affecting Egypt.

EAsToN, Md, Nov. 3O.-A decision Of
interest to all wheelmen has been rem.
dered by Judge Stump of the Talbot
county circuit court. An ordinance had
been passed by the commissioners of
Easton that every person who shall keep
in the town of Easton for use any bicycle,
shall apply each year for license to uso
such bicycle, and shall pay 81 for such Ii.
cense. The wheelmen of the state took is.
sue with the commissioners and tested tho
validity Of the law. Judge Stump dc.
clared the ordinance illegal, beca use no

without permission of the legislature, un-
less such permission is set forth in its
