Civilized Canadian Indians.
(From the National Reyiew)

+
Some of these Canadian Indians are not
only civilized, but they are rapidly reach
ing the point where the line dividing
them from other citizens becomes indis-
tinct and gradually vanishes. The out
ward and visible signs of this are numer-
Gus and emphatic. They live in comfort
able houses with flower gardens and
grayeled walks. They have adopted the
clothing, the dietary, and many of the
customs of the whites They make for
themselves roads, and they build bridges.
They have their own agricultural sooie-
with acumen equal to any of their neigh
bors, and whenever they affect the oco u
pations of the palefaoes they prove them
selves equal, while losing none of their
skill at the vacations peculiarly their
own. They are thus experts as lum ber-
men, sawyers, and carpenters, fruit pick
ers, guides, pilots, flax pickers, ooopers,
hasket-makers, tealnsters, meat canning,
blacksmiths miners, limeburners, etc.
They have even entered the learned pro-
LESSONS.
The late chief, Ka-ke-wa- quo-na-by Is
the present DR.. Jones, and has been ap-
pointed an Indian agent; another is B.
Sc, has graduated, and is employed as a
Dominion land surveyor, a position re-
quiring thorough knowledge of the
higher mathematics. Many pass theScivil
service examinations and obtain govern
ment appointments; while an Indian
woman is in the first rank of Canadian
literature. In some instances they have
erected handsome granite monuments to
the memory of their chiefs. The Indians
of the provinces, too, have at their credit
in the hands of the government, funds
derived from the sale of surplus land,
timber. etc.. and the lent of land leased
amounts to very nearly So, 500, 600. The
millions belong to the Ontario bands.
Few of those in Quebec had much land or
valuables to dispose of, and in the
provinces further east care was taken not
to oyerburden the natives with estates.
The interest on the trust fund amount
ed in 1899 to 1852 1853.

Judge Stevens, tie chairman of the Tx
e5utiVe Committee of the A. P A.,
makes some pretty large claims for his
association. He affirlns practically t hat
no candidate who is not satisfactory to
the A. P. A. can be elected President.
His association, he claims, holds the bal
ance OF power in nearly every state in the
union and is strong enough to defeat any
man, II 1t is not strong enough to elect
him. The A. P. A. is so thoroughly a
secret orga nization and so little is really
known about it by outsiders that it is
practically impossible to test the accuracy
of Judge Stevens's figures. But assu1n-
ing that he is right and that the men,
bers should vote one way it is by no
means certain that trey could defeat the
candidate to whom they vera opposed.
A raid upon q particular man by an or
ganlzation, especially secret organiza-
tlon, almost always secures to that man
votes that he would never have received
except for the raid. The mere fact that
he IS opposed by an organization, espec-
tally one againstLwhich there IS SO much
prejudice as there is against the A. 2.
a., makes him popular with the enc
mics nf that organization and draws to
him votes. Gov. Greenhalges renomi-
nation was not popular with the A. P.
A; by good many of them it was BIT
terly opposed, yet his majority showed
no falling off. Apparently all his losses
from a Z. A. hostility were more than
made good from people either hostile to
the A. P. A., or who did not relish it's
attempt at dictation. Unjust attacks
upon a man, or attacks that the public
consider unjust-and attacks in secret are
almost certain to be regarded as such
generally help him with the voters more
than they burt him. There is a very
strong sense OF fair play among the ma
jority Of the people. which impels them to
go to the rescue Of d candidate that is being
unfairly treated, and for the reason that
~ is being 50 treated. The way to fight

SHE EATS BONES.
The Queer Appetite of Mrs. Childs of Chi
cago,
Chicago News, J

(CnlcagO news.
Mrs. Matilda Childs of 2. 625 Dearborn
street, is the possessor of one of the most
remarkable appetites known TO the
human family, She crunches bones
fresh or old-with a vigor that would put
to shame the most active stoneorusher in
Chicago. She is very modest and retir-
ing. and to see her partake of her osseous
diet is favor granted to few.
Mrs. Childs is 80 years of age, a deeid-
ed beauty, and her mother was as good a
Kentucky cook as ever served pot of
"pork and beans,'' while Mrs. Childs
herself is a cook of no mean ability, al
though she at present boasts of hired
girl who performs that onerous duty for
her.
Early in life Mrs. Childs's. parents
moved from the dismal swamps of Ken
lucky to the more congenial prairi es of
Iowa, where they found good school as
well as a suitable climate. The young
girl attended seminary for young ladies
from which she graduated with high
h0nors, being valedictorian Of her class
Mrs. Childs came to Chicago about eight
years ago to visit friends who were living
on Butterfeld street and while stopping
there she was at o'clock one day intro
duced to Mr.. Charles A. Childs, a rail-
road porter, and at O'Clock she became
his smiling bride; thus in three short
is today, she says, "the same sweet, smil-
ing bride of eight years ago."
My husband aud are always lovers !"
she declared, and / think in that way we
solve the problem is marriage failure?'
The bone-eater,' as she is now called
by the few who are familiar with her
queer taste, has from childhood eyinced
a decided preference for that part of the
food generally thrown away. Her dog
for she has one-certainly has the best of
the meal when meat is the diet, for Mrs
Childs very deXtrously slices the meat
from around the bone. and, feeding the
meat to the dog, retains for herself the
bone, which she devours with relish
Tho bone-eating habit has grown as she
the closet" and one of which she is very
much ashamed, although her meal is
considered incomplete without her favor
lite delicaoy.
My mother often whipped me, but to
no effect,o explained she, flor eating
old bones,' as she termed them, for I
would steal away and gnaw them in spite
of her. Bones seem to have savory
sweetness for me which no other food
contains and without which think |
should literally starve.
"Thass bones,'' she remarked, as
she drew forth plate Of huge beef bones,
shall never rise again. " And the
way she went at them proved to the re-
porter's entire satisfaction that her quo
tation was pat.
Mrs. Childs's jaws are firm as iron, and
In them are securely set thirty-two pearly
white teeth, as sound as dollari though
very short, they taper off in wedge-like
manner with razor edges, which cut
through ossified matter as easily as cary
ing-kniyes can divide the most tender
sirloin. Mrs. Childs is mem Der of sew
eTal secret societies and great favorite
among the prominent people Of her race.

CURRENT COMMENT.
GROSS INEQUALITY.
(Christian Leader. }

The unequal representation which
makes the Senate of the United States a
non-represen tative body had its occasion
in the nacity with which the states
held to their autonomy when the federal
constitution was being framed. AS a
state Rhode Island. the most obstinate
of all, was the equal of all. AS COM
pensation for what the little state lost by
its small representation in the lower
House, it was made the exquivalent in
the Senate of the greater states. But
for this compromise the Union had been
impossible. But the conditions are diff
ferent as respects states formed sincesth
Union compact, which instead of being
teased to join, themselves leased to get
in. Tied to the letter made under one
set ofBconditons, handful in a territory
hey ond the mountains, manage to get
in with a senatorial strength equal to
that of the densely populated common
weaIths.. The evil may be beyond cure,
but a very serious evil gross form of
inequality. it certainly is. And it
makes the new danger. Congress ought
to set a face of flint against the admission
of another state until it can give good
reason for seeking the privilege, based on
a sufficient population and on perma-
nent Industries.

AN UNEoU1vocAL UrTERANoE.

The declaration of the Massach usetts
platform on the currency question is as
clear and unoquivocal as language can
make it. 1t is superior even to the New
YORK. platform in that respect. All such
meaningless phrases as "sound money"
"honest money! and ''parity
of the metals'' are conspicuous
by their absence eve are entirely op-
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
OF sill YER, and to any change in the exist
ing gold standard, except by information
al agreement" says the platform.
Everybody can understand that, and no.
body can possibly misunderstood it. 1t
is an open secret that this plank was
submitted to Mr.. Heed and received his
approval before it was presented to the
convention, just as the plank on the same
subject adopted in Ohio was submitted to
Gov. Mckinley and received his endorse
ment. That the public may see the
difference in the character of these two
dellverances we publish them together.
This is the Ohio plank:
We contend for honest money; for a
CuIIoACy VI &Olu, SILVER anu paper WITH
which to measure our exchanges that
shall be as sound as the government
and as untarnished as it's honor; and to
that end we favor bimetalism, and de
mand the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, either in accordance
with ratio to be fixed by an Inter-
national agreement, IL that can be OBJ
tanned, or under such restrictions and
such provisions, to be determined by leg
islauion, as will secure the maintenance
of the PARTIES of values of the two
metals, so that the purchasing and debt
paying power of the dollar, whether of
silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times
equal.
And this is the Massachusetts plank:
We regard the silver agitation as hurt
full to business and destructive of conf
dence, and, as has recently been shown,
hostile to all tariff legislation designed
to give protection to our industries and
revenue to our treasury.
We are entirely opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, and to any
change in the existing gold standard, ex-
cept by international agreement. Each
dollar must be kept as good as every
other dollar. The credit of the United
States must be maintained at the highest
point, so that it cannot be questioned
anywhere, either at home or abroad.
Every promise must be rigidly kept and
every obligation redemable in coin must
be paid in gold.
The New York Tribune contained a
two column article the other day from
one of it's able editors to prove that the
Ohio plank was not "straddle.' The
Massachusetts plank will need no such
| elaborate plea in it's behalf. People can
understand that without the assistance
| of able editors and special pleaders.
On the question of the payment of gov
ernment obligations the platform is
equally SPECIFIC and unequivocal. 1t de-
clares that all bonds redeemable in coin
must be paid in gold.
The Massachusetts Republicans have
made the currency issue sharp and def
mite. They have notified the silver
propaganda of the West that they are
unalteraably opposed TO any free silver
experiment and are not to be driven from
their position by threats.
