MIR. COwES'S RESIGSATION.
VIII Defer 1t Out of Difference to His
Committee.

Baltimore, Jan. EFT may be definitely
stated that President Cowen of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, will not resign his
seat in Congress until the close of the
present session.
In speaking of the matter one OF Mr..
Cuwen's personal and political friends said
today: Mr.. Cowen told me that the chair
man Of the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, Of which he is member. had re-
quested him not to resign at present, and
that he had agreed to retain his seat until
the close of the present session.
Mr.. Covcn is assisting in the preparation
of a bill on the currency question and he
desires to aid in the completion "f the work
and the chairman of the committee desires
his aid because he is looked upon as one Of
the best posted and sOundest men on that
important committee.
Besides Mr. Cuwen does not think that
Speaker Reed intends to allow much to be
done this session, and consequently his
duties at Washington will not greatly in
terfere with his work as president of the

which consists of President n. Z. Young,
a. II. Soden, j. 7. Brush. and C. II. Byrne,
went into session about IL O'Clock.
The morning was taken up in settling dis
putes about players. All the contentious
were of minor nature and were disposed
of without much trouble. The Ward case
came up for discussion. but as neither
President Freedman nor Mr.. Ward was
present the matter was laid over until the
spring meeting of the National League.
There was a strong delegation of the
Eastern League present. Present P. T.
Powers, Z. F. Bogert of Wilkesbarre, c. T.
Shean of Springfield, w. n. Draper Of

The Beers have their own ideas as to
the origin Of the English language.
They say that when Dame Nature was
employed in giving tongues to the vari-
GUS nations she stood at large table
on which lay piece of meat. She had q
hnife in her hand, and q pair Of scissors
lay on the table. With the one she cut
the tongue out of the meat, and with
the scissors she gave to each tongue its
peculiarities. To her came all the ma
ticns. "De Franaman." ''de Duitche1, :"
and even s'1e Boesmans were provided
ror, but "de Engelsman" was not there.
He had turned into a canteen on the
roadside, it seems, for q drink, and when
he arrived the meat was done. "Neyer
mind" said Dame Nature, there are
plenty of snips on the floor-take half
a dozen Of these, join them together,
and make tongue for yourself. West

INCREASE or RED MEN.


Although rhey nave GOOD schools There
Are Many Blanket Indians.
The reservations are too small to per-
NIT the old, wide-ranging Indian habits,
and the red men are compelled to live
in localities entirely unsuited to the
wild customs Of, their forefathers.
Through this changed condition, it has
frequently been said the Indian win
rapidly die out; but information re-
ceived at the Indian bureau shows this
is an. error. There are now about 3OO,-
OO0 Indians in the United States, and il
is evident that they are increasing in
numbers.
People may differ as to the past treat
ment of the Indians, and as to whether
twas right to take from them the vast
empire now occupied by the millions
of thriving, industrious whites, but it
has been done, and no one can doubt
that it now rests upon us to give the In
dian an occupation which win take the
place of that former rowing life which he
has lost.
We have compelled him to make way
for civilization; he must be civilized in
order to become self-supporting in the
conditions forced on him. Among the
things which we give him are schools.
in which 25 900 Indianchildren are now
being taught. These schools are of
three NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., boarding
schools and day schools.
Chief among the non-sectarian board
ing-schools is the large school at Car
lisie, Pa. Here $50 Indian boys and girls
are Taught. those brapches which our
own children learn in grammar and
high school. During portions of the
year these children are hired out to the
good people of 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 school like this are fitting not sim
ply to go back on the reservations, but
to scatter throughouttheU 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 lesson which every child
should learn, whether red, white OF
black.
Progress is being made by many of the
Indians. Some of them now teach In
dian schools; some follow various me-
chanical pursuits; and many more
readily learn to watch and herd cattle.
But blanket" Indians are still to be
found in very great numbers.
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 Hoke Smith,
in Youths Companion.
