The government has decided to test in the highest courts the status of civ- ilized Indians living in the States as citizens, and paying taxes as such. In "a timber contract case from North Car olina the district has received orders to carry the case from the Circuit court, Judge Simonton presiding, to the Court of Appeals, and thence, If necessary, to the Supreme court of the United States. In the lower tribunal It was held that the eastern band of Che- rokees, living in North Carolina, were not wards of the nation, but that the government might interfere to prevent a contract being enforced which might work injustice to the Indians. The State of North Carolina regards these Cherokees as citizens, but they live in a separate community and receive in every Indian appropriation bill a stated sum for educational purposes. A final decision of the matter in the courts which shall deny their wardship will stop government aid to their schools.

Emigration to America has created such scarcity of farm hands in Ger many that landowners are now import ing Chinese coolies in hordes for field work in Silesia, East Prussia, Posen and Pomerania. The coolies work for 20 cents a day and the land owners are enthusiastic, with the result that many Germans who have hitherto refused to emigrate are being forced to do SC through lack of work. When the Chi nese coolie has extended his grasp a little the Chinese problem of Germany will be the same as ours.

The largest block of granite ever quarried in Vermont, block fifteen feet square and three feet thick, is in- tended for the Moriarity monument in New Orleans, if it can be taken there. At present there is a great deal of doubt about this, as all the railroad routes that have been investigated have bridges too low to allow the stone to pass. A special car has been built to carry the stone when it comes from the dressing shed, so that when 1t is loaded it will hang below the level of the car bottom, with it's lower edge within eight inches of the track, and the attempt to take it to New Orleans will Le made.

It is not pleasant to learn that silver dollars as good in material and work manship as those produced by the gov- ernment hints can be made by skilful counterfeiters at profit of one hun- dred per cent. without great danger of detection, even the government experts being unable to distinguish the coun- terfeits from genuine coins. The infor- nation is contained in the report of the director of the mint at Washington. who says that the prevailing price of silver makes such frauds possible and constitutes a great temptation to un- scrupulous persons to engage in coin stamping illegally.

Gov. rlorton's Boom.

New York held her state con-
vention Tuesday to elect delegates
at-large to the national republican
convention, and the outcome Of the
convention was the placing of Gov.
Morton in the field as presidential
candidate. T. {. Platt, Warner Mil
Ter, Chauncey M. Depew and Edward
Lauterbach are the delegates-at-
large and are all well-known to
political life. The Mckinley faction
developed surprising strength and
100 delegates voted for motion to
instruct the national delegates to
vote for Mckinley if Morton was
not nominated on the first ballot.
There were COL who voted against
this motion and it was defeated af-
ter the widest excitement. The plat
form is an unusually strong one,
calling for adequate protection and
sound money. The convention was
well in Mr.. Platt's hands except for
the 100 Mckinley boomers, who
refused to follow the leadership of
the great boss.

Political Press Comment.

Harper's Weekly is authority for
the announcement that Secretary
Carlisle is a candidate for the
democratic nomination to the presi-
dency on gold standard platform.
The fact that Henry L. Nelson, edi-
tor of the Weekly, was formerly Mr..
Carlsle's private secretary, gives an
air of authority to the statement

Never since the close of the civil
war has the republican party had a
finer opportunity to render great
service to the American people by
taking in hand the problems of the
day honestly and fearlessly. Never
has it had better chance to win the
support of those citizens whose
political action is determined rather
by their sense of public duty than by
party spirit. But never has it ap.
peared in so repulsive a state oil

Captain, United States Navy, Com.
manding United States Cruiser Boston"
The troops were landed, and dur.
ing the day divided into small
squads. A part were placed to
guard the United States legation,
small squad sent TO the consulate,
and eight to the home OF an Ameri-
can resident named Hopper AS the
troops had no tents the minister
secured quarters for them from a
royaist.
There has probably been more
wholesale lying, in print and out of
print, about the action of Minister
Stevens and Captain Wiltse than
about any other subject since the
days of Ananias. The day after the
landing of the troops, the queens
cabinet called on Minister Stevens to
ask the aid of the United States
marines in sustaining the queen
against the provisional government
then in course of formation. Minis
Stevens answered:
Gentlemen, these men were land
ed for one purpose only, a pacific
purpose, and we cannot take part in
any contest. Icannot use this force
for sustaining the queen or anybody
else"
This remark was made and this
assurance given before the queen
had been deposed, and her cabinet
knew that the United States troops
would not interfere in the affair in
any way.
Thirty-two armed citizens of the
committee of safety marched to the
government building and took pos
session of it. The constitution had
not been formally promulgated, and,
it is said, was never signed by all the
cabinet. The ministers fed, the
guard went to the police quarters,
and the unfortunate queen was
deserted by everyone save her mar
shall, Mr.. Wilson, who, through all
her universities, has remained her tru-
est friend. 1t is said that Mr.. Wilson
warned her against an attempt to
promulgate the new constitution.
IF you do, it will be your ruin" he
declared, but | shall stand or fall
with you" If Mr.. Wilson made this
assertion, he kept his word. To his
credit be it said he was the only
friend of the queen who, in the hour
of trial, displayed any pluck. But
he had not soldier or policeman to
aid him, and thirty.two men seized
the government.
Hon. S. B. Dole, chief justice of the
supreme court, resigned his position
when the trouble began, and was
made member of the committee Of
safety, and later, on the organiza-
ton o! the provisional government,
became its president.
After the failure of the effort to
secure annexation of the islands to
the United States, and the defeat of
the project to restore the queen, the
provisional government became a
permanent government. A constitu.
ton was framed and Hon S. B. Dole
selected as president for the term OF
six years. A wiser choice could not
have been made. Mr.. Dole is brave,
honorable, conservative gentleman.
He is a statesman beyond corrup-
ton, and, while dign6ed, is utterly
devoid of any of the silly pomposity
which so often characterizes men
who think themselves great. He is
easily approached, open and honest,
and capable of being at the head of a
much larger country than Hawaii.

The British-VenezueIa Case

Sir William Harcourt, the other
day in the house of commons, con-
fessed that the more he read about
the matter the mere obscure it he
came. 1t is clearly a problem of his
toric geography demanding much
time and extra judicial wisdom to
solve. The case is in good hands with
the American Commission, and all
the available evidence will receiv e
BETTING care.
1t appears from good authority
that Venezuela comedies that what
ever was Dutch territory on Aug. 13,
1914, in what is now known as
British Guiana, is by the treaty of
same date the undoubted possession
Of the British government. The
matter then is simpli6ed in this way {:
How far west OF the Essequibo river
did Dutch control extend prior to
1914. The Venezuelans assert that
the English have no lawful right to
possession west OF the Essequibo
river while the English as warmly
contend that they do have rights
there on the ground of Dutch occu-
patton and settlement. The number
Of documents and books relating to
Guiana and Venezuela is legion,
scattered through the archives of
Holland and Spain and the great
libraries of the world. The available
maps unfortunately have never re-
ceived the official endorsement of the
contending governments, and some
of the maps and TRANSACTIONS sub
mitted 70 the commission now sit
ting at Washington are diametrical.
ly opposed. What looks very much
like Venezuelan Interpolation is
already spotted, and that of course
will not help their case.
The contents of the British blue
book is being carefully read and has
made a favorable impression. Thus
far there seems to be an excellent
proof that in the last century there
were numerous Dutch settlements
high up on the western affluents of
the Essequibo. Singularly enough a
document signed by King Charles
Ill of Spain on Sept. 10, 1776, goes
far TO sustain the British claim, and
indeed many Spanish books and
maps seem to point the same way.
Experts are about to be sent off to
examine the records in Madrid and
at the Hague, and the end is still far
away. Meantime it will be more
and more evident that prudence will
justify suspension of judgement
until the evidence is all in, for it goes
without saying the commission will
do its work well.

Alas, are we to see made out of the poor
defeated candidate of free silver and Debs,
ism a duplicate of the Stuffed Prophet of
Mugwumpia? Is the cheap and common
clay that constitutes the actual BRYAN to
be paraded and worshipped as a creature Of
seni-astral greatness OF mind and elevation
of soul, from whom %platitude comes as in
SEPARATION. ignorance as craftsmanship,
humbug as virtue, and demagogy as the
essence Of patriotism Our esteemed con-
temporary of Montana, the Butte Inter
Mountain, and there are likewise others,
thus begins the cult:
"BRYANs great mistake In the campaign was his at
tempt to defend the Democratic platform. which.
aside from Its silver plank. was the most dangerous
and unpopular declaration of principles ever pre-.
sented TO the American people. BRYAN himself would
have been the nrst to repudiate 1t had he been elected.
for he iS too lofty a patriot and too bright a man to
sympathize with the Trainers OF II or TO have aided in
crystallizing It into law. BRYAN was ali right-his
platform was mostly wrong except on tho silver
question"
The Boy Orator-Actor who throughout
his despicable canvass strove to infame
higher and hotter the Internal spirit fired
by the Chicago platform, described by
his admirer above as the &" most dangerous
declaration of principles ever presented to
the American people" is, all the same, set up
as a patriot and n statesman, too wise and
lofty to countenance the abhorred principles
lately profcssed, and too sincere a lover
of his country to aid in carrying them into
the promised effect. 1t is like a repetition
of the typical effort of the CLEVELAND men,
including Mr.. CLEVELAND, to get people to
think that the latter was no friend of the in
come tax, his own original proposition.
We entreat the BRYAN fanatics to get
cured at once. BRYAN laid himself upon
the bed Of Socialism and Anarchy; and let
