be rises when he wakes uD, sleeps
whenever and wherever he is sleepy,
eats at any and at all times and as
much as he can, knows nothing of rule
or regulation, takes no note of the
passing hours, has no knowledge of the
arts and sciences, and, left to himself,

ture of passion and caprice, who does
not even know continuously his own

To expect that an Indian would set

that he would answer roll call and
sick call and the countless other calls
TO which the United States bugle at
tunes itself in twenty-four hours, that
he would become thinking creature,
knowing today what he was going to

The disarmament of this last COM
pany of Indian soldiers sounds like a
death knell to the Indians. They have
never shown much capacity for civili-
cation and less inclination. 1t is doubt
full if there ever dwelt in the frame OF
a human being wilder, freer nature
than that of the Indian. UnQuestion-
ably Cooper and Parkman have thrown
a glamour around him, yet there was
always that in the Indian nature that
justified the glamour. The only way
in which the Indian could ever have
been employed successfully in military
service was as the French employed
him in the days of Frontenac. He
might have been utilized by the gov
ernmert in its border wars, but as a
soldier in all the term implies the In

MODERN SOCIETY.
In sermon preached in fremont
Temple, Boston, last Sunday, DR.. Lori
nner said.

| In a sermon preached in fremont
Temple, Boston, last Sunday. DR.. Lori-
mer said:
Our society is unnatural We are
living at toe great a speed: our ideas
are too material. We plan, legislate
and do everything for the rich. He
that hath, TO him shall be given, and
for him that has not shall be taken
away even the little that he has" This
is our rule. How else can be explained
the tariff on wool, which will take the
coat off the poor mans back?
Is modern society unnatural? That
it is different from the society of q
hundred years ago or a thousand or
two thousand years ago there is no
doubt. The society of one period al
ways differs from that of another. DR..
Lorimer says that our society is I'M
natural, but can he or any one else say
when it is natural or what constitutes
natural society? Society will be I'M
natural to each man or woman when
ever it departs from his or her own
standard of what constitutes natural
society; the society that is repugnant
to his or her nature is of necessity I'M
natural. There is. there can be no
definite standard OF natural society; the
thing is absolutely impossible. 1t was
long since recognized that the state of
nature when one got right down to it
is state of savagery and not at al.
like the dreams of poets or the ideals of
philosophers painted it.
There is much in what DR.. Lorimer
says about our living at too great a
speed, that our ideas are too material.
If material greatness is not followed by
moral and intellectual greatness there
has been no great gain. But material
greatness must not be despised. 1t is
often the means by which intellectual
and moral greatness accomplish their
best good. AS a nation we have been
striving for material greatness and
have achieved it While this is so.there
is abundant evidence on every hand
that the ideals of the people are
higher than mere materiality. Never
were such sacrifices made for the ideal,
for the moral and spiritual welfare of
mankind as were made in this country
IN the war for the preservation of the
Union. Then one has but to look around
to behold vast endowments in almost
every state in the Union ON institutions
for the advancement of art, science and
learning. There is scarcely a rich man
in the country today who has not an
ambition to become a patron of science
or learning. There may be, and doubt
less is, much self-love in all this, but it
IS of more generous nature and
worthy of all respect and encourage
ment. Our country is by no means
wholly given up to things material.
We heartily agree with what DIR
Lorimer says about the tariff but we do
not think it was said in the proper
place or on the proper occasion. 1t was
as much out Of place for him to con-
denim, where he did, the tariff on wool
as it was for those New York preach
ers, the Revs. Macarthur and Dixon. to
denounce free silver and its advocates
from their pulpits. Pulpits are not the
place from which to preach politics.

The San Francisco Chronicle is of
the opinion that Senator Hale was
quite right in saying that the "Ameri-
cam prisoners in Cuba have very few
Yankees among them. They are not
Smiths and Browns, but Delgados and
Sanguillys, men of Spanish birth who
became naturalized in the United
States so that they might have some
thing to fall back upon if caught plot
ting or fighting in Cuba against the
Spar ish crown. These hybrid Ameri-
cans are dangerous to the peace of this
country, and deserve little sympathy
when the Spanish capture them red
handed. This is especially true of Gen
eral Sanguilly, who has been busy since
his release was had at the instance of
this government in violating cur neu-
traIity laws.

CHANGED HER MIND
Then Changed Her Body.

Some people fail to arrive at correct
conclusions because they are too hasty.
and l have to watch myself on that
very point said lady II said to a
friend the other day. that didn't fancy
the grain coffee, Postum, although
nearly all nv friend use it. We tried
it once but it didn't taste as good as
had been told it would, so we didn't
serve it any more"
My friend asked pleasantly. whether
we ever had trouble with our coffee or
tea and was told that now and then the
coffee was sloppy or burned and oc-
casionally the tea was unfit to drink,
but then you know, I said, we know
coffee and tea can be made good, so it
is some failure with the cook if they
come to the table unfit. "Ah, there's
the point" my friend exclaimed. Now
we have been using Postum steadily
for about year and we know its mag
niiicent qualities as nourisning bevsr-
age. but mind you, / have seen ii served
al my table once Of twice almost unfit
to drink, and we got one package last
summer that was overlooked at the
factory and was not good. but which
the grocer replaced: these incidents do
not change the fact that Postum is a
delicious. healthy and nourishing bever-
age, as proven day after day in our
family.
You should not hastily condemn a
new thing upon one imperfect trial as
you deprive yourself of benefits which
fair test would make yours" These
comments made an impression and act
ing on her advice l hunted up the pack
age of Postum, brewed some myself for
breakfast the next morning, and it
really was as delicious to my taste as a
high grade coffee. noticed. that morn
ing, that the heavy, disa greeable feel
ing (usual after breakfast with Coffee
was absent. This set me thinking and
wondering if it was true, after all, that
coffee did slightly poison my liver and
stomach and make me feel so. con-
cluded to quit coffee and tea a while,
anyhow, and try Postum, and am glad
to say that for that, or some other rea-
son. have never felt better in my life
than 1 have since the change"

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.


Helena Independent: Perhaps the
United States government was right in
sending lawyer to Cuba to investigate
the circumstances connected with the
murder OF DR.. Ruiz. but why didn't it
yer?
San Francisco Examiner: OF course
some newspapers call the proposed trip
of General Miles to the war d jGnket. and
perhaps x IS But when every t:rn-crow
legislator gets a chance 10 do some
junketing It IS not clear why the head
of the army should be less privileged.
Chicago Chronicle: There is just as
much reason why General Miles should
go abroad TO. study war which will be
finished rs there is for Secretary Gage
visiting Europe 10 see how the govern
ments manage their financial affairs. or
Postmaster General Gary to observe the
workings of the various postal arrange
ments, or Secretary Long TO watch the
naval maneuvers IN the Mediterranean.
And the-e IS no reason for any such
junkets.
