Handful of Tobacco.

Handful Of Tobacco.
"' The English explorer, Harry de
Windt, recently returned to London
from the Siberian shores of Behrine
strait. In short time he will leave
England for lecturing tour in the
United States. He was brutally treat.
ed by the Tchuktchis at Oumwaidiik.
In consequence of this the United
States will, it is said, send vessel to
sOumwaidjik to punish the chief. The
Tchuktchis are nominally Russian sub.
jects; but the only vessels ever in the
neighborhood are American whalers
and the United States revenue cutter,
Mr.. De Windt had an enforced soiourn
of two months among the natives.
He says they are physically far
finer race than the Alaskan Eskimo
races, and their women are better look.
ing. but the Tchuktchis are wholly de.
void Of morality, and will barter wife
for q handful of tobacco. Infidelity is no
crime among them. They number alto
gether about 5000, and along Behring
strait are seven settlements of perhaps
3OOeach. The othersare scattered along
-
the seaboard of the Arctic ocean.
stretching away to the settlement OF
Mini Kolymsk.
The most weird Tchuktchi ceremony
! is the ''Kamitsk.' This is simply the
putting to death, with their free CON
sent, of aged or useless members of
the community. When Tchuktchi's
powers have decreased to an apprecia-
BILE extent, a family council is held and
a day fixed for the victims departure
for another world. Perhaps the most
curious feature is the Indifference
shown by the doomed man, who takes
a lively interest in the edings, and
often assists in the preparations for
his own death. The execution is pre-
@ceded by feast, where seal and wall
rus meat are greedily devoured and vii
lainous whisky is consumed. Y.

KANSAS LEGISLATION.

The populists are in control of the
Kansas state government and legis-
lature and we are likely to see practi-
cal illustrations of their ideas in bills
presented to the legislature. The
chief Justice elect of Kansas, Frank
Doster, entertains the theory that
1.-THE rights of the uses are paramount
to the rights of the owner.' His law
partner, is preparing bill providing
for the sale of lands not used as
homesteads upon demand of those
desiring suoh lands for no estead
purposes. Should the bill become
law, no person in the state of Kansas
would be able to hold more land than
he could occupy and use; that is, if
any other person having family de-
sired to take a homestead out of the
surplus and had money enough to
pay for it.
We do not see how this law is to
help the people of Kansas. It does
not provide the money with which to
buy the land and that appears to have
been the greatest difficulty under
which the would be- owners of land
in Kansas have labored. If the Kan
sas legislature could compel the peo-
pie of the East to lend money to every
citizen of Kansas who are ambitious
of owning homestead, and wait for
their pay until the Kansas farmer
was ready to discharge his obligation,
the legislature might make every
Kansan happy. The Kansas legisla-
ture however, will find that the state
is just as dependent on other parts of
the country are dependent upon Kan
sas, and making the rights of the US
er superior to the rights of the own
er of land will not bring prosperity to
Kansas. What Kansas needs is a re-
turn of sense to it's people. The state
has suffered by reason of booms and
speculations. It will not recover un-
til its, people learn that the payment
of debts is what maintains credit and
gives life to commercial enterprises.

MONEY CHEAP.

Perhaps the most striking effect of
the Presidential election has been
upon the money market. For some
time before that event loanable
funds seemed to have entirely disap-
peared. Anxious merchants besieg-
ed banks and the offices of note brok
ers, and the best paper could not be
discounted, or, if at all, only at what
seemed to be usurious rates. 1t was
critical and trying time. Now
bank officers and brokers are seeking
customers, and money goes begging
at four, three or even two per cent.
Such cheap money is sign of lack
of business afforidng any use for
money. On the other hand, it is a
necessary and infallible precursor of
active trade. Almost all business en-
terprises are carried on, in part at
least, with borrowed capital En-
ergetic men of affairs will be en-
couraged to undertake business VEN
lures only when reasonably assured
that they can easily secure the funds
necessary TO carry them OUT TO
profitable conclusion.
These favorable conditions existed
year ago, and at that time it was
believed that the business revival was
fairly started. Then came the Vene-
zuelan message, which frightened
capitalists and prevented merchants
and others from obtaining the funds
with which to work. The effect of
the war scare had just begun to wane
when Organism appeared and de-
stroyed all chance of activity.
1t is to be hoped that for while
now the natural laws of the business
world may be allowed to do their
beneficent work without being fur
Their interfered with.-Journal.

In an interview last week with are
porter of the New York Times Mr..
Hale insisted that the American peo
ple have been greatly misled as to the
true status of Cuba under Spanish
rule-that they have listened to only
one side, and that presented by per-
sons who have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by misrepresenta tion.
He maintained that commercially
Cuba almost leads the world in the
volume as her export trade, amount
ing per capita to $63.10, larger per-
centage than the export trade of any
of the South American republics. He
declared that in increase in popula-
ton she has been surpassed only by
Argentina, Uruguaysand Puerto Rico;
that in point of wealth per capita she
is ahead of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana or
Arkansas; that, as regards taxation,
her rate per head is not much above
that in this country, it costing us
above $13 per capita, whereas the
rate in Cuba is $3.50. From these
figures Mr.. Hale argued that Spanish
rule has benefited the island, and that
Cuba has made greater progress un-
der the civil laws of Spain and under
the protection afforded to life and
property than, have many of the So.
American republics. which severed

That Gillian hostility to Us which
hared out four years ago in The blood
thirsty attack upon the Baltimore's
sailors in Valparaiso seems to have
been short lived. When the Pacific
squadron, on its way to the Column
bian festivities, touched at Valparai-
SO, soon afterward, it became mani
fest that the CHILEAN authorities were
anxious to efface all memory of that
unhappy incident. Again the port
has been visited by the American flag
borne by the cruiser ssPhiladelphia,' -
a sister of the Baltimore Admiral
Beardsley reports that his officers and
men have been received with excep-
tional cordiality, and that their stay
in the gay city was one long round of
merrymaking. The Venezuelan affair
has brought sharply home to all our
South American neighbors the fact
that the United States is their sincere
and disinterested friend-and this is
something which will not be easily
forgotten.

A bill has been introduced into
Congress which provides for a civil
service retiring fund for Government
employees who are disabled by age or
disease. This rs to be established by
withholding, monthly, per cent of
the salary of each employee and de-
posting the same in the treasury The
fund shall become available on and
after July l., 1901. The bill specifies
ages and conditions of retire ment:
Mental and physical disability after
twenty years in the civil service will
entitle an employee to be retired on
rs per cent of the highest pay receiv-
ed by him during his employment.
Any one who serves for thirty years
and shall reach the age of 60, may g
retired on three quarters pay by
making proper application. Compul-
sorry retirement for persons over 20
years old who shall have served for
thirty five years is also a feature of
the bill, the pay to be rs percent of
thehighest received by these veter-
ans of the service.

NOT FOR DINGLEY.

Mr.. Dingley is not to be tempted
from the House by the prefer of a
Cabinet position. He prefers to be
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee rather than Secretary of
the Treasury.
This is probably good judgment.
No Secretary of the Treasury since
Sherman has won very high or lasting
reputation, though several have killed
themselves by hard work and con-
slant worry. None has stepped from
the Treasury into the White House
from the beginning of the govern
ment, though several have been can
didates for the nomination. On the
other side, it was Mr.. McKinley's
prominence as Chairman Of the Ways
and Means Committee that made his
nomination possible and invitable.
And much of Garfield's reputation
came from his able service on the
same committee.
