For a number of reasons the pre- sence of those white Indians in the schools is liable to become disturbing element, either through the greater natural turbulence of the white blood in their veins or through fancied superiority of race. Moreover these children, upon graduation, may seek employment in the Indian service and gain admission thereto without De- ing subjected to the Civil Service Ex- animation, which stands between other whites and appointment.
 "On technical grounds, all this may be correct, but in equity it seems to hold clements of unfairness both to the real Indians and the white citizens Of the United States, who pay the bills Tor the education and maintenance Of these people. Inasmuch as there seems to be no remedy for this in existing laws it is imperative in the interest of justice to both races that Congress should at an early date indicate by statute what degree of blood shall constitute an Indian, and to what ex- tent adopted Indians shall be entitled to governmental support in matters Of education. ."-Washingto Letter to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat-

claims acted on in his department last year, but 54,072 were allowed, while 76,- 23A were rejected There are 100000 claims now awaiting action, and more are constantly coming in. The war Is more than thirty years In the past, and yet over two hundred thousand claims for pensions are pending, and as far 1 as they have been examined the past year nearly 60 Der cent. of them found to be baseless, Does any sensible man suppose that all the unworthy ones have been kept out, when the pension roll at the latest report numbered 976,O14 names, and was steadily increasing?
 In view of what some men are doing the case of Rev. T. J. Keith of Vim cennes, Indiana, is peculiarly interest ing. He says that he has no well based claim to receive pension and has made restitution to the commissioner of pen- sions of about $500 already paid him, while absolutely refusing to receive i more in the future. He served for four and half years in the war and his present salary Is not large one.
 The pension lists should be published so that all interested could examine them. This would be the first step to- ward whatever reform is needed.

pI VISIONS.

The interest in the pension business increases and it is possible that real effort will be made to find out what the situation is and whether anything can be done to improve it. Of course all criticism of the pension lists calls forth storm of protest, some of which is honest and some of which isn't. But no honest man, old soldier or not, can fairly object to a thorough examination of the lists and prompt cutting off of those not entitled to pensions, One old soldier and distinguished one too, is giving powerful aid to the movement for revision. He is General II. V. BOyn- ton, and he is in position to know something about what is going on. For the current fiscal year the pension bill is S141 GOO, GOO out of a total of $302 GOO GOO for all government expenses. and he says that the bill next year will surely reach, in the opinion of experts, $150,- COG, GOO if nothing is done to revise the rolls. In three years the plll VIII reaCH s170. .oOO, 900 says General Boynton, yet If the pension lists could be printed, every community in the land would be disgusted with it's revelations. Wealthy men in large numbers would be found upon it. Thousands would be revealed whose disabilities were only temporary, and so long since disappeared" To such men, he adds, "a pension should | be 8 badge of shame"
 Those who do not realize the extent of the effort being made to get names upon the pension rolls that have no right to be there should consider the 1 statement of the commissioner of pen sions who reports that out of 130,1 ,106

SNORING SCORES.

There is no telling what discomfort and misery are caused by snoring. Snoring banished sleep from those obliged to hear it and therefore unable to snore themselves. It hurts and even destroys love. What refined young wo- man or young man can hear her or his loved one snoring and not have her or his love shocked? And have we not re- gently read of divorce suits based on l the fact that love has been slain by snores? Little can be said in favor of snoring, but that little ought to be said, 1 for the snoring habit is prevalent and | persistent, and in most cases it is not l wicked. Those who snork can't help It, although sometimes their snor1ing could be mitigated by less indulgence in eating and drinking. When it can be so mitigated and isn't 1t is wicked

It appears that Rob- ert Wagner of Milwaukee has been sav- ed from going to the penitentiary be- | cause he is the owner and user of peculiar ear-piercing, nerve-shattering snore. Robert, 1t seems, owned ware house which burned the other night un- 1 der circumstances which indicated in- | cendiarism. He was arrested and a
 clear case of circumstantial evidence was made out against him. At the last
 moment two nieces proved a complete
 alibi for him by swearing that during
 the night in question they were kept awake by their uncle's snore, which was as regular and persistent that night as
 usual, and was fully identified by them.
 Score one, therefore, for snoring. It is only one, to be sure. but one is more than none. Perhaps we shall soon hear that snorer has scared away burg
 lars, or that those who have been kept awake by a snorer have.

i ,REAL NEED.

In addition to currency reform one of the urgent needs of the country is e national bankruptcy law. Every State in the Union has a bankruptcy law some of them more negotiable than others and none of them of an ideal character. The merchant who sells goods in the South or West has first to look up the bankruptcy laws of the States in which he is developing his business to ascertain whether the law affords him protection in the event that the dealer to whom he sends goods on credit becomes insolvent. In many in- stances he will find the law leaning to the side Of the debtor, or else so vague in it's terms that 1t can be twisted into any meaning in order to give the debt or the advantage over the creditor. In California, for instance, the statute discriminates between local creditors and those in other States, placing 8 premium upon dishonesty if the debtor is inclined to take advantage of tho law.
 The house of representatives of the Fffty-fourth congress passed the Tor rey bankruptcy bill by a majority of 76 on vote of 238 This bill has the in dorsement of commercial bodies and is regarded as measure just and equit- able in all respects, protecting the in- terests of creditor and debtor alike. A measure far less satisfactory was ap- proved by the senate at the last session of congress. It Is known as the Nelson substitute for the Torrey bill, and Is l objectionable to business men because 1t does not recognize the rights of cred itors in fair degree, but is apparently | drawn largely in the interests of the 1 debtor class.
 A good national bankruptcy law is really more needed than the annexation of Hawaii. And if we annex Hawaii it may sometime be more needed than il is now. At any rate, we ought to have l ma

SMALL STRAIN OF INDIAN BLOOD,
Strong Inducements Found for Claim
 ing Tribal Relationships,

Strong Inducements Found for Claim
 ing Tribal Relationships,
 There are too many white Indians. The increasing value of the reserva- tons, the distributions of great sums of money by the government to members of tribes, the, development of splendid educational institutions for the ex- elusive benefit of Indian children, these and other advantages have had the effect to draw back into tribal relation ship, thousands whose title depends upon a small strain of the blood. These changed conditions are stimulating marriages between white men and Indian women, and between Indian men and white women. Tn the Indian school at Lawrence, Kan, can be seen blue-eyed, fair-haired little Indians receiving living, clothing, and education at the cost of the Government. The same is true at Carlisle and at Hamp- ton, and at all of the Indian schools. The richest people per capita in this country are the members of some of these tribes. The problem of the five civilized tribes is complicated by the presence of too many white men who have married Indian women, to the great advantage of their personal for tunes. It is enough to bring tears to the eyes of a graven image to hear these men talk of the wrongs of the poor indian, Gov Brockmeyer of Missouri went down to the Indian Territory some years ago to transact business with one of the tribes. When he came back after having driven q hard bargain for his clients, he conn., mented on the people he had dealt with.
 "Indians!" said he Those fellows are not Indians. They are mighty smart Yankees, tanned a little"
 The new Superintendent of Indian Schools is impressed with the growing number of white Indians, and he calls the attention of the Government to them In forcible manner.
 Inspecting officials" Supt. Hallman says, are frequently embarrassed on visiting boarding schools by the dis 1 covery that among the children there are many who apparently have very 1 little Indian blood, if any. On inquiry 1 these children claim a slight degree oi Indian blood, varying from one-sixty- fourth In a number of instances, how ever, it Is found that they are the child ren of white parents who were adopted into the tribe previous to the census for registering it's members. Tn most cases the parents of these children are sufficiently well to do and able to pro vide for their education.

box front into a blouse just by adjust ing the belt you must see that the belt is fixed exactly. It must be made to
 droop in front and hold its place with out constant pulling down. That means that it must be shaped, and the buckle set on a slant. The buckle must be heavy, too, that the belt may not ride up. Nothing is more trying to the fig ure than q blouse that Is high in front,

A cycle cab, which is combination of the bicycle and the wheeled chair, has appeared in the streets of Berlin It has three wheels instead of two, the two large ones supporting the chair, which is occupied by the passenger, and small wheel in the rear for steer ing purposes. The operators seat is between the small wheel and the pas- senger's chair, and the power is applied by simple up and down motion of the feet, there being neither chain nor sprocket arrangement. The cab is cheap and light in weight, and can be propelled with great ease and at great speed. A mile ride costs something like a cent and half, which is much cheap CT than the charge for the regular cab service. The cab can be very cheaply constructed and, as no horses are re- uuired to be stabled and fed. that ex- pense is entirely done away with, and the company is making money.

It is noted that only three of the sev- enteen mayors elected in Massachu- setts on Tuesday are lawyers, while two are physicians, one is a civil en- gineer, and among the others are marketman, wholesale pork mer- chant, druggist, fish dealer, two paper manufacturers, banker. broker and a maker of shoes. The majority of them received only a lin- tied schooling, and only three went to college. Twelve of them, however, have served in the legislative branches of their city governments, and thus ac- quired some knowledge of municipal affairs. A majority of them were born outside of Massachusetts, three coming from New Hampshire, two from Maine two from Connecticut and two from New York.

insurgents seems to be growing every
day. In Washington the cause of the
insurgents is warmly espoused. Yes

much comment. According to Secre-

practically means war with Spain.
