vations and changing the Indian from
ward of the nation into self-sup-
porting citizen was inaugurated- 1t is
going to work some considerable ana
interesting changes in the political fu-
ture of those sections where the old
reservations were situated
The decision of the court is perfectly
reasonable. nor does there seem to be
any escape from the conclusion which
it has reached Under the old arrange
ment the Indian could not aspire to
the status of a citizen. His vote was
counted a good many times, but it
was cast by white men on the reserVa-
ton. When, however, the nation de-
termined that the Indian should set
tie upon the soil and till it, becoming a
freebooter on equal terms with the
white settlers, it brought him
fully within Sthe scope of the
qualifications prescribed for cit1-
zenship. The North Dakota court
affirms the right of such Indians
to the ballot, and declares unconsu-
tutional the state law excluding them
from the franchise.
That this will cause temporary diff
fculty politically is evident. These In
dams, by the very nature Of their
holdings, which are carved out of an
original reservation, are massed in
few localities and not scattered
throughout the bulk of the population.
1t follows that their votes, if cast as
a unit, would practically determine the
political complexion of a county and
determine the selection of it's officers.
Race feeling, everywhere so powerful
a factor in the worlds history, is not
likely to be imperative here. We may
expect, for the time being, that the
Indian vote will be practically united,
and will be given on the advice OF the
most influential men among them. The
prospect is not a particularly palata-
BILE one to their white neighbors, but
the probability is that the problem
will not be of long duration.
Except under pressure of unwise leg
lSIdIlOQ, as WAS the case Will IIle IiC-
gro vote at the South, the race line
is not maintained in politics. 1t will
be but little while before the Indian
vote is divided among the different
parties, following the influences and
arguments which they can bring to
hear. The specter of a permanently
solid Indian vote, controlling public
policies and the selection of public Of
ficials, is purely imaginary. The prac-
teal evils apprehended will not fol-
low; and the decision marks the final
step in the slow transformation of the
aboriginal savage to a full citizen Of
the United States, and the beginning
of race amalgamation which, how
ever still far distant as completed
fact, is plainly in sight.

Platt has done more than all its own
leaders could have accomplished.
In the other states the force of the
reaction is as plainly obvious. Ohio
has been barely saved by the ire
mendous exertions and unlimited cam
paign funds of Hanna. Maryland is
close, opposition to German and dis
gust with Republicanism striving for
tho ascendancy. There it is a struggle
of negatives Kentucky is also doubt
full, Democratic division having been
unwisely perpetuated. In Iowa the
great Republican majority has been
almost wholly wiped out. Nebraska
shows evidences of reluctance, but
still remains with fusion. Massachu-
sets is strongly Republican, and Vlr-
ginia strongly Democratic, as was
expected. Viewed as a whole, the
elections of 1897 set the seal Of con-
demnation on the party put in power
in 1896. Nothing but folly among DEM
ocrats, or a Republican repentance
of which there is no visible sign, can
prevent the voice of the people yester-
day from pronouncing, at the next
general election, it's final and complete
condemnation of Republican policies
and ideas.

More Individua1ism wanted.

A great many newspapers in Minnesota are
beginning to realize that to be a Republican
paper or a Democratic paper does not neces-
sarily mean to be a Republican organ or a
Democratic organ. There is a vast difference
between the two. Those papers that fasten
themselves to a party and support all it's ac-
tons and all it's candidates under any and all
mate iournalsm and become mere partv Or
gans. The kind of journalism that is needed
in this country is that sort whose independ-
ence and fearlessness and belief in what is
right will serve as a check to all machine
ism in politics. There are a few papers in
Minnesota whose utterances reflect the indi-
viduality of their editors, and not the views
of any other person or party. 1t was that
spirit of independence that made Dana's Sun
shine as it did, and Greeley's Tribune SO
powerful. Let US have more individualfsm in
Minnesota papers.-Delano Eagle.

Seifert is a well-known saloonkeeper

strangely of late. and worried greatly
over the most trivial affairs. This
