+ Congressman WalkeD member OF

sity, saws that the action of the board
relative to President Andrews has been
grossly misrepresented. He says he does
mot know what political ticket President
Andrews votes for and the action OF
the board was not based in the slight
est degree on politics. He adds:
There is not board of fellows and
trustees in any institution in the world
that is any more broad and liberal in its
views as to the liberty that should be
given the president and professors of a
college. one and all, than that of Brown
university And what was said by the
trustees with reference to President An
drews is in the line of conserving this
liberty by keeping it's exercise within
reasonable bounds in having it properly
exercised rather than in its restriction.
Finally, it cannot be that the govern
ors of a great university have no. re-
spensibiliay for its teachings, either
public or in the classroom. And the
action of Brown would not be in any
way criticised by the public Were what
was said and its methods fully known

The Senate and The Treaty.

The act of Senator Morgan IN intro
ducing a bill to annex Hawah CAUSES
d good deal of comment. Some point
1 TO II as an instance of the overweening
desire of the Senate to usurp the pow
ers OF the executive. Morgan says MS
hin is intended to carry the annexation

for is ratification by the joint ac ION
of the two Houses in case the Senate
shall refuse to act. He also polnls
out that but a majority vote would De
required fer measure of this kinh
whereas to ratify the treaty would re-
quire a two-thirds vote.
There does not appear to be any seri-
Gus doubt but that the treaty would re-
ceive the requisite two-thirds in the
Senate if taken up in the customary
way. Among sCmc of the senators now
in the SSi.ate, who four years ago de-
clarsd thems elves to be in favcr of an
nexai.ion, are Fasco, CockreH, Morgan,
Proctor. Teller, Shoup, Kyle, Chandler.
Cullom, Allison, Platt of Connecticut.
Hansbrough, Jones of Nevada ana
Stewart. This fact is significant be-
cause among this number are several
who ordinarily might be expected to
oppose a Republican administration in
carrying out such project. Moreover.
it was generally believed at that time
that nearly il not quite two-thiris
vote could be secured for the treaty.
The unmistakableopposi of the peo-
lie to Cleveland's shameful Hawaiian
policy as well as the trend of events
ought to have strengthened rather than
weakened the favorable sentiment then
existing in the Senate.

CIVILIZATIONS" Lesson 10 "Barbari.m.

This is the title of a pamphlet being

in this leaflet is not one at all soothing
to those having a keen sense of justice.
1t is but another and later chapter in

those who so long as an Indian occu-
pies land coveted by a white man. act
upon the theory that the only good In
dian is dead one.
In brief ssxs t Navajo families had
been permitted by tAe government to
herd their sheep on certainpublic lands.
The whites living near there trumped
up a pretext for driving them out They
wanted to use those public lands them
selves Accordingly the county SUI
peryisors decided to assess" taxes on
those sheep. They fixed them SO high
that the Indians couldn't pay them but
to make sure sent an armed posse to
collect the tax without warning and
on the spot The Indians pleaded for
time but lit was cash down or move.
The Indians and their flocks were driv-
en- away across the Little Colorado
river in which most of the sheep per-
ished, as the river was high and the
weather bitter cold. The Indian houses
and corrals We're burned. the total loss
to the Indians being practically all the
property they had. The Indians quiet
ly submitted to the dastardly outrage
and now look to the government to re-
imburse them.
