shattcring pryan's Pet Theories.

The big wheat crop in Kansas and
Nebraska is running the hopes of the
populists and silver cranks in those
states. Farmers are rolling in prosper
ity and are paying off their mortgages
Bryan's appreciation of gold theory is
at a discount now that wheat is bring
ing 20 cents bushel more than 1t did
last year. According TO Bryan the price
should be constantly falling and cannot
possibly go up until we have sixteen to
one free coinage of silver. Facts are
playing the mischief with Bryan's pet
theories.

When the first white settlers arrived
at Wathena, in 1856, they found an old
chief with quite field of ripening
corn. One Mr.. Bryan (another silver
coincidence) offered the chief one dol.
lar row for 20 rows of the corn, which
offer was accepted. Mr.. Bryan handed
him a $50 goldpiece. The old chief
looked It over carefully and then laid
it down at Mr.. Bryan's feet and walked
away. He was called back, but would
accept nothing but silver 25-cent pieces
for his pay, and after considerable skir-
mishing enough of them were got to-
gether to complete the deal.-Wathena

Is silver the Farmers Fr,ends

An interesting table has been pre-
pared showing how wheat began in
September, 1896, to rise in price, be-
ginning at 67.2 cents bushel and as
cending to so cents in October, to 02.7
cents in March, 1897, to 90 cents in
August and $1.03 on September /, 1897.
Parallel with this line of figures is an
other line showing how silver began at
67.2 cents per ounce on September J.,
1896, and fell steadily, while wheat was
rising, getting by August, 1897, to 57.1
cents per ounce and by September J.,
1897, to 51.2 cents per ounce. Themoral
of the parallel is that wheat is not tied
to silver any more than to gold. If we
had been on the silver basis from Sep
tember, 1896, to September, 1897, the
rise in the price of wheat due to scarcity
would have been nullified to some cx.
tent by the fall of the value of the
white dollar received in payment for it..
AS it was. the farmer in September,
1897, got $1.03 per bushel in gold, CT
$2.o6, according to Mr.. Bryan.-Balti-

INDIANS AND GAME.
Tho Question or the Red Mems Right to Hunt
During the Closed season.

From tho Denver Republican.
1t is said that the Federal authorities IN
tend to investigate the trouble near the Utah
border between tho Utes and the Rame war
dens. What 1t Is thought would be accom-
plished by the proposed Investigation is not
disclosed, but, in any event, 1t can do no harm.
The relation of Indians to the game laws of
the far Western States Is ono of great I'M
portance. IL these laws are to be enforced and
a genuine attempt made to :preserve game.
1t Is a subject to which few persons have given
any thought, and doubtless 1t has not occurred
to many porsons living in the East that there
is any occasion for complaint against the In
dams on account of violations OF game laws.
1t will be we'll. therefore,, If tho proposed In
vestigation brings to light the real situation,
and shows tho public just how difficult tho
Indians make the enforcement OF such laws.
One thing is sure. and that is that game Is
not preserved by the enforcement OF State
laws for tho purpose of providing the Indians
with good hunting grounds: Either those
laws should be enforced against Indians as
well as against whites, or the attempt to en-
Public sentiment Would not sustain the en-:

The Utes have claimed certain hunting priv;
ieges In that part of Colorado which they sold
rights OF privileges are should be clearly
ascertained and definitely determined. To
grant that, they have a right to hunt
does not involve the admission that they

CAUSES OF
Some Conclusions or siatiatIcians ms TO the
Misrortuncs or the Poor.


Misrortunrs or the Poor.
Various attempts have been made recently to
get at the causes of poverty by means of sta
~tistics. In Europe paupcrs are defined to be
those who receive aid from Government or
charitable funds. The proportion of paupcrs
to the whole population is highest in England,
- per 1000. In Scotland it is ~, in Ireland
-, in Holland 20, in Italy 10, in Austria o. in
France 3. and in Germany 7. There is no sim
liar division made officially in the United
States. and, taking tho country through, the
proportion here is less, probably, than " per
! 900. When IT. comes, however. to the
causes of poverty the American statisticians
are, 30 to speak, right in line with what some
persons would call their conjectures. but what
they describe as their conclusions. Thus, of
100 cases or poverty ] per cent. are chargcahic
20 drink IN excess, el.3 per cent. to what thc
statisticians call "miscondnct." n rather vggGe
designation for unwisc or Icprchcnsiblc acts:
pay for work done, or Insufficient. half-timc en-
ploymcnt,, and most of the remainder 10 mis-
fortune
What particular distinction the statisticinns
are able TO establish between misconduct and
"nidfHrtune' Is not easily stated, for some acts
Of misconduct are clearly due To misfortune.
and many instances Of misfortune are directly
t,raccablc to misconduct, hut the slatisticians
thc-c. They only deal with what they call
broad propositions.' and one of them, Charlie

British capital exactly IL per cent. Of those
male or female adults who arc a charge either
npon the. Government or upon others for reasons
not arising from physical causes owe their

"Dr Butler opposed resolutcly all the schemes

for the West. and devoted much OF his time and
energy to the development of 1t. 1t may be said
OF him. with truth, that he possessed II certain
prophetic instinct. and 1t was manifested in all
