rnrINnIAN PROBLEM.

The actions OF John Redbird are
likely TO open up another long discus
sion regarding what eastern friends
call "the Indian problem" John is an
ex-student OF Harvard, and is we'll
educated Indian. just now he is at
outs with his great white father"
and is showing tendency to get out
and lift hair and raise general dis
turbance. This, too, after several
years amidst the refining influences
OF Boston and its people, who have
become thoroughly familiar with the
Indian as he is not by reading all
about him in the pages Of J. FeDimore
Coopers novels John is philosophic
Indian. ~ can't never be much as
white man." he asserts, "but can be
hell OF an Indian" Acting upon
this, he is doing all that he can to
demonstrate his ability in the line Of
raising that kind Of disturbance.
The whole trouble with the Indian
question is that the government has
always persisted in giving it into the
hands of those who know nothing Of
the Indians. These eastern problem
solvers take a sentimental view Of it,
and never learn the fact that the In.
dian Is not at all sentimental. There
is a great deal Of bosh about all this
talk OF fervid Indian orAtory, beauti-
full SMILES and sllegorical par
allels. The Indian is not given to talk.
He is either man OF action or q
man OF inaction. After being trained
for years to the belief tha. the govern
ment should feed and clothe him, it Is
hard to make him believe that he
should quietly submit TO being robbed
right and left by the post traders and
venal Indian agents, The Indian prob
len will mover be solved by educating
the Indian at government expense and
then sending him back to become the
football OF dishonest officials who
look upon Lo as an easy and legitimate
prey. Under the present system il is
Just as John Redbird ssys-the Indian
can never amount TO much as a white
man, but be can be q hell Of an Indian.
Pa ernalism is not calculated to devel-
op the Indian into useful citizen,
The government should make either
q ,h, flesh or foul of him. 1t should
either educate him and make him self
supporting, or support him in the life
to which he has been accustomed and
let It go ut that. But the two will mo-
mix, our Eastern tacklers OF the In
dian problem to the contrary notwith
standing.
Oklahoma has many Indian citizen
who are industrious, frugal and enter
prising. but they have became so b.
being treated like white men, and moi
petied, coddled, supported and by tn
general government.

The Ears" of Insects.

The naturalists have not rs yet been
able to answer the burning question.
"Can bees hear?" but their researches
along that line have resulted in many
queer discoveries. Simply because a
bee has no ears on the side of his
head. It is no sign whatever that he is
wholly without some sort of an audi
tory nerve This last assertion is prov
en- by the fact that grasshoppers. crick-
cts. locusts and flies, all have their
ears situated in queer places-under
the wings, on the middle of the body,
and even on the sides of their legs.
The common housefy does his hearing
by means of some little rows of corpus
cles. which are situated on the knob
bed threads which occupy the places
which are taken up by the hind wings
of other species of insects The gar
den-slug. or shell-less snail, has his
organs of hearing situated on each side
of his neck. and the common grasshop-
per has them on each of his broad, fiat
thighs In some Of the smaller insects
they are at the bases of the wings. and
in others at the bottom Of the feet,--

The Perkins Journal says that work
on the new bridge across the Cimarron
is progressing nicely. This week a
contract was closed with Alex. Collins,
living west OF town, for supplying aud
delivering the necessary piling on the
ground ready for driving. The caps
have also been purchased to lie de
livered. Tomorrow night the sealed
bids to drive the piling will be opened
by the building committee, and as
soon as the pile driver can be secured
work will Immediately be commenced
driving the piles The plans for the
style OF the bridge are completed. The
width is TO be sixteen feet, allowing
teams to pass, and will be twelve feet
above normal water mark. making it
four feet higher than the old bridge.
There will be seventeen spans, each
span being torty.fve feet in length.
This will allow all the drift to pass by

against the span-points up stream
The building committee is pushing the
work as rapidly as possible, and in

WOULD WAGE WAR.

The Havana newspaper La Lucha
is counting the cost of a war with
the United States, and concludes
that Spain has nothing to lose, says
the Sun. With whimsical reason
ing it holds that her weakness
would be source of strength.
Her case, it says, would be like
that OF a poor man suing rich
one, for "the rich man is always
the loser" Besides, war would
demonstrate the continued exis-
tence of "the traditional Spanish
honor, which we would defend
even more carefully than our
lives"
We surmise that the struggle
which La Luchd welcomes as
convenient for Spain" would be
short and sad for her. On the face
of it there is nothing to gain, save
a proof that Spanish patriotism
exists, and this is obvious now
without war. But it is a serious
mistake to suppose that there is
also nothing to lose. In the first
place, Spain would lose Cuba forth,
with, and without compensation,
whereas she may now have hun.
dreds of millions for it. Next, she
would lose a good share of any
fleet that she might send to make
: war on us. Then she would certain
ly lose the money laid out on the
, foolish project of making war upon
us, and perhaps an indemnity fol-
our war expenses.
The fact is that the rich man i.
7 not always the loser, and the only
, loser, In suit against him by the
, poor man. That is a suggestion
which has often brought misery t.
the litigant who has no case.
