Get Your Pencil, Mr. Dingley.

The President will not do his whole duty,
either as Chief Magistrate or chief Repub.
lican, II he omits to ask Congress, in the
annual message which is about to go to the
Capitol, to supplement the Tariff act of
last summer with legislation which shall
stop the deficit and provide the Govern
mcnt with adequate revenue.
Congress will not do its whole duty II 1t
fails to take up the revenue question,
promptly and boldly, n to put an end to
the ever. embarrassing shortage.
Mr.. DINGLEY and his Republican col
leagues of the Committee IN Ways and
Means will not do their whole duty unless
they frankly admit that h present Tariff
act Is not a perfect measure rs n revenue-
producer, and devote their best energies
and best intellectual efforts to perfecting
It. No pride of authorship and no Micaw-
berish procrastination should stand in the
way of n prompt and effectual treatment of
existing deficiencies.
The provision of sufficient income. by
means of q simple amendment Of the
present schedules or Of a broad addition to
the internal revenue, need not involve any
general disturbance to business or any per-
nicious unsettlement of what was accom-
plished at the extra session. The process
need not brighten anybody.
But now is the time, If ever. Now is the
time, before a yet further swollen deficit
shall discrcdit the main Measure for which
the country will hold the Republican party
responsible. 1t will have to be done. 1t
were better done before the Congress cleo
tions Of 1898.

An Indian State.

The proposal, originating with the Mus
kogee or Creek Nation, that the five civil
lied tribes of the Indian Territory shall
meet to consider the organization of a
State, is all the more noteworthy since the
visit of the Dawes Commission to the
Creeks 30 recently resulted in failure.
This Commission, organized over four
years ago, has ever since been trying to
carry out the purpose of Congress expressed
In the act of March 3, 1893, namely, to in
duce the five tribes to abandon their sys-
TENS of ownership of lands in common, and
to prepare for "the ultimate creation of a
State or States of the Union" to include
the Indian Territory lands. The act of
June 10, 1896, further empowered the
Commission to make out rolls of tribal citi-
zenship for the five tribes.
During several successive years the Com
mission was baf1ed by the outright refusal
of the Indians to abolish the holding of
lands in COMMON. They had been expressly
excepted by Congress from the operation of
the severalty allotment law. and indeed
their treaties with the United States were
checks to its application to them without
their consent. 1t was urged by the Com
'"S >b>S VI thst
system was to allow a few influential men,
bers of the tribe and other persons to get
the control and use of the greater part of
the lands. To this the reply was that the
leases made by the tribes brought in an
income which enabled their Government to
be carried on at slight expense, no school
tax, for example, being levied upon men,
bnrs Of the tribes.
Mr.. DAWES, who, as the leading promo
ter Of the severalty allotment plan in Con.
gress, naturally had much pride and faith
In it, did not relax his efforts. He even
proposed that Congress should abrogate
the treaties which prevented its applica-
ton, insisting that the conduct of the five
tribes and the condition of the Indian
Territory justified what would otherwise
be a palpable breach of faith. Congress
also continued to provide liberal salaries
and appliances for the members of the Com,
mission, so that their work went on.
During the past year their efforts were
rewarded by one breach in the solid wall OF
tribal opposition. On April % the Choc
taws and Chickasaws made an agreement
with the Commission covering various
points, including the central one of the
sevcralty allotment of lands. This agree
mcnt has since been ratified by the two
tribes, More recently, on Sept. Of, al
agreement was made with the Creeks; bur
the hope thereby excited was quenchet

Governor LEEDY of Kansas seems to
have abandoned the theories of craftsmanship
for the practical task of deporting Jack rabbits
to tho down-trodden East. New York and
Chicago arc said to have been the object
of this new Sunflower industry, although
nobody in these parts has yet fed on Kan
sas rabbit. Washington is to be the next ben.
efciary OF the bounty of Kansas. Some.
body in Washington has asked Governor LEEDY
to send q carload Of rabbits to that town for the
purpose of feeding many poverty-stricken
ones" including oficcscekcrs who have not
found, and for the further purpose of waking
up some of our well-fed Government off cials."
To ask Governor LEEDY for rabbits is to find
rabbits. BY the close of his administration tho
whole western part of Kansas will be n warren.

Little hungarian Girl Got Revenge
for SadOWa.


New HOrk TRIBUNE.
The present Kaiser would probably not
admit that he had often been thwarted In
any of his plans, but an anecdote has re-
Gently become known which shows that he
at least once got the worst of it" and 1t
is all the more ,piquant from the fact that
he was defeated by girl.
When the Kaiser who was then Prince
Wilhelm, was about ten years old he and
Prince Heinrich spent some time at Cassel
with their tutors, who sometimes allowed
the little princes to play with other chill
dren. One day when several of them were
gathered together 1t CHANGED that little
French girl was among the number, and
the young Germans conceived the brilliant
idea of making her representative of the
country they all so cordially hated. The
delightful plan was Immediately put into
execution and the poor child was tied to Il
tree, Then began a fusillade of pine cones,
sticks, etc, and whenever anything struck
her there was cry of Here's for Sedan!'
This went on for a few minutes. when a
little Hungarian girl, Helena Won. D.,
who was watching, could bear the injustice
no longer, and, singing out Prince Will
helm as chief offender, she threw herself
on him. The attack being unexpected he
was completely taken by surprise, and fell
down, whereupon she began to pound him,
crying out at each blow, Here's for Sa-
dowap' The prince was fast getting the
worst of 1t, for his little adversary was
thoroughly in earnest, when the imperial
tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and
separated the combatants. After that the
princes were more carefully watched and
Wilhelm had no opportunity to get even
with the little champion of justice Some
days afterward, hearing that the princes
were leaving, Helena went down to the gate
TO see them go by. AS they passed Wilhelm
spied his foe. and leaning out behind his
tutor, he stuck out his tongue
Helena was the daughter of titled parents
and later she was married to an English
man. When the Kaiser was recently in
London she told this story to one of his
gentlemen in waiting. who in turn repeated
it to his Majesty. The latter exclaimed: lis
that devil OF girl here now? / would like
to see her." A meeting was arranged, but
Helena became i'll, and so they never met
after that one encounter, to make friends
or renew hostilities.

The lines of the Western Freight Associa-
ton met in Chicago yesterday to consider
through flour rates from Minneapolis and
st. Paul to the territory of the trunk lines
The roads are anxious to evade the charge
of cents per hundred pounds which the
trunk lines have tacke on as a terminal
charge The Western lines object very
strongly to this charge and say that they
will never pay it, while the trunk lines say
that it is a lighterage charge and entirely
legitimate. The Western roads yesterday
announced that they would not object to the
charge if it was confined to export business
but when the trunk lines say that it must
apply on flour shipped to any point within
the territory of the trunk lines they say
they cannot stand it. 1t was decided at the
meeting yesterday to inform the trunk lines
OF this fact and then If the latter roads still
insist the Western roads will abandon all
through billing and deliver the flour to the
trunk lines at their terminals and allow
them to collect the charge from the con-
SiRuee.
