The twentieth of December came:

Miss Delavigue's.
You are late, Tom and Muriade,"

marriage ceremony was performed half
an hour ago. The major thought he
would rather have it over before the
guests began to arrive. Stop! Don't

who has given me great pleasure by
accepting my hospitality on this occa-
sion."
Delighted. I am sure!" STAN
mered Tom, staring with all his eyes.
Many congratulations" faltered
Muriade, scarcely less amazed.
And then they took advantage of a
stream of newcomers, who monopolized
the bridal pair and taxed Miss Della
vigue with her duplicity.
"Sold," said Tom, succinctly, "com-
pletely!"
"Aunt, how could you deceive US
so?" said Muriade.
II didn't deceive you," said Miss
Delavigue, laughing. IT said there

yourself mentioned Major darlington!
I didn't feel myself called upon to go
into any disclaimers, although knew
then that he was engaged to Helena
Dove; and the only point I gained was
the certainty that my dear niece and
nephew were not heartless fortune
seekers, but loved me just as we'll as

Whitworth loved Muriade just because

INDIANS HATE ENGLISH.
They Refuse to Speak It After
Leaving School.
The Rigid Rules Against the Use of Their
Own Tongue Cause Them to De-
spise the White Mans
Language.

For years government instructors
among the Indians have been troubled
by the fact that the red men, after learn
ing English at the schools as children,
invariably return to their own tongues
and seem positively to hate the white
mans language.
The superintendent of Indian schools,
w. n. Hailman, in report just made to
the commissioner of Indian affairs, says
that the Indians We're actually taught
to hate the English tongue, lecause Of
the rigid rules against the use of any
Indian conversation by pupils. Until
lately the great majority of Indian
teachers have labored under the delu-
sion TINT they can hasten The acquisi-
tion of the English language on the part
of the pupils by compulsory measures,
visiting more or less severe penalties
upon the unfortunate children who were
caught in the use of the Indian speech.
The unreasonableness of such pro-
ceedings, which are always punished
With more or less serious failure, APP
pears when it is considered that an
idiom that is forced upon q child by
means of penalties and other appeals
to fear is necessarily hateful TO HIM.
Then, in his own heart, he turns away
from ii and uses it only under more or
less pronounced protests. This be-
comes quite manifest as soon as the
children are removed from the restraint
of the school, wher, for instance, they
return to their parents for visit or
more or less permanently after gradua-
ton, and when, on meeting their
former teachers, they will either re-
fuse to speak English altogether or an
swcr with shame-faced reluctance.
Prof. Mailman says: "TlIere is no
doubt in my mind that the unreason-
ableness of the offensive warfare made
in the Indian schools against Indian
vernacular is largely TO blame for the
apparent stubbornness with which
older Indians refuse TO learn English
or to use the little knowledge thereof
which they may possess. fit Is argued
that with liberty 10 use the Indian vcr-
nacular the Indian children viii engage
in conversation, possibly improper,
which the teacher can neither under
stand nor control, the fault lies not
with the chld's knowledge and use OF
his own idiom, bat with the teachers
ignorance of the same aud the reme'iy
viii be found not in the repressive
measures, which must, because of their
unreasorableness, fail Of their purpose,
but in the determined effort on the
teachera' part to acquire a knowledge
of the chills idiom.
Probably the traditional hostile at
titudc Of certain schools TO the Indian
vernaeular is fcsTan5.ble for the fact
that n number u instances tcuohera

BUILD A BETTER JAIL.


No argument that has yet been
advanced is half 80 strong IN favor
of the removal of the county seat
as the escape of Chacon. 1t is ad-
mitted by all that the jail is IN
secure, and that in order to hold
desperate criminals a guard must
be kept on patrol constantly
Aud this escape has also demon
strated that this guard is not
sufficient to prevent escapes, which
causes the name Of our fair county
to be handled in very uncompli-
mentary terms by out siders.
The county pays good salaries to
two guards, which amount comput-
ed for a year, will build far

AGAINST THE CONFERENCE.

We note with satisfaction that
the concensus of opinion of the re-
form press in Alabama is against
the proposed conference at Nash
vile, July 4. AS we have pre-
viously remarked, we do not be-
lleve that truly representative
body of Populists can be gathered
together at this time, and are much
inclined to believe that the meet
ing al Nashville will be very much
a cne.sided affair. 1t is remark
able, to say the least, that the
chosen leaders of the Populist
party are to be debarred from par
ticipation in the meeting. Surely
if they are capable of leading the
reform forces they are not only en-.
titled to, but 1t is absolutely nee
essary that they should be coun.
selors and advisors of a national
meeting 1t looks to us as if some
men were anxious to become lead
ers of the party who can sec no
hope Of ever attaining their desires
if the people are unmolestcd in
their choice. We do not wish to
be misunderstood in. this matter.
If certain pumber of persons de-
sire to meet at Nashville and en-
JOY the exposition, we'll and good,
but we think it is not advisable for
q limited assemblage to promul-
gate new policy for the Peoples
party and, consequently, are ad
verse to the meeting,-Clanton,

few exceptions to this rule. Jeffer-

not even see the condition of the
