About the Indians.

|
For number OF years past n has been
! apparent that the conditions under which
! the five civilized tribes were established In
the Indian territory under treaty provisions
| with the United States, with the right of
self government and the exclusion of all
white persons from within their borders
have undergone so complete a change as
to render the continuance of the system
thus inaugurated practically impossible.
The total number Of the five civilized
tribes, as shown by the last census, Is 49,
494, and this number has not materially in
creased, while the white population Is es-
timated at from 100000 TO 100000, which
by permission OF the Indian government
has settled In the territory
The present area of the Indian territory
contains 1864, 564 acres, much OF which
Is very fertile land
The United States citizens residing In the
territory, most of whom have gone there
by invitation or with the consent of the
tribal authorities, have made permanent
homes for themselves.
Valuable residences and business houses
have been erectd in many OF them. Large
business enterprises are carried on in which
vast sums Of money are employed, and yet
these people, who have invested their cap.
ltal In the development of the productive
resources of the country, are without title
to the land they occupy and have no voice
whatever in the government, either of the
nations or tribes.
The secretary of the Interior reports that
leading Indians have absorbed great tracts
of land to the exclusion of the common
people, and government by an Indian aris-
tocracy has been practically established, to
the detriment of the people.
1t has been found impossible for tho
United States to keep Its citizens out Of the
territory and the executory conditions con-
tained In the treaties with these nations
have for the most part become impossible
for execution.
Should the agreement between the Chico
taws and Chlckasaws be ratified by con.
gress and should the other tribes fail 10
mako an agreement with the commission.

Reinstatement of Soldiers.

While the right Of our veteran soldiers
| 60 reinstatement In deserving cases has
been asserted, dismissals for merely polit.
ical reasons have been carefully guarded
against, the examinations for admIttance
to the service enlarged and at the same
time rendered less technical and more prac.
tical and a distinct advance has been made
by giving hearing before dismissal upon all
cases where lncompetency is charged or de-
mand made for the removal Of officials in
any OF the departments.
This order has been made to give to the
accused his right 10 be heard, but without
In any way impairing the power of remov-
al, which should always be exercised in
cases of inefiiciency and incOmpetency and
which is one OF the vital safeguards Of the
civil service reform system, preventing stag
employe keenly alive IN the fact that the
security of his tenure depends not on IA.
for, but on his own tested and carefully
watched record OF service.
Much of course still remains to be accom-
plished before the system can be made
reasonably perfect for our needs. There are
places now In the classified service which
ought TO be exempted and others not class.

I think have been improperly included In

and extend 1t.

HOUGHTON's GOT MAD
And Quit the Game in the Eighth
Inning-Game Awarded
to Baraga.

The return game of baseball be-
tween the Houghtons and Baragas
was called at the park in this city
last Sunday afternoon, at 2:30
o clock, but unfortunately came to
an abrupt ending in the eighth in
ming, the Houghtons quitting the
game on account of what they
termed smart trick perpetrated
by Cooney, of the Baraga team.
With the score to 1 in Hough-
ton ) favor, Davenport hit to Del
aney, who threw wild to first, al
lowing the runner to reach second.
ST. Arnold. the next batter up,
made safe hit and started for
first The ball was returned to
second, but Cooney. who was coach
ing for the Baragas, had run from
first nearly to second base with the
evident purpose of drawing Il throw
in that direction TO insure St.
Arnold 5 safety at first or to
present an opportunity for Devon
port to score from third base.
When Larson, who was in the
box for the HoughtonS, saw what
was being attempted. he Immediately
walked of the diamond Captain
Hooking, of the Houghtons.
at the same time ordered
his team of the diamond and
/ would listen 10 no proposition
to continue the game, in which he
was backed up by Manager Douglass.
/ The Houghtons positively refus-
/ ing To play,and the game was award
ei the BaragaS 10y Umpire Roche.

Wells and the Eyesisht.

DIR. Casey a. Wood Boston Medical
and Surgical JournaD writes as follows :
The fact that the wearing of wells is
productive of weak eyesight, headaches
and sometimes vertigo and nausea. is
within the experience Of every opthal-
iaologist. Not only are these effects
produced by the eye strain CONSEQUENT
upon the added efforts made by one or
both eyes to see through or around an
obstruction, but the irregular figuring on
the veil itself is, in some instances. a
source of annoyance 10 the wearer. As
IN other cases of abuse, the burden rests
heaviest upon the weakest eyes. and pro-
baby the reason why ono encounters
so comparatively few instances of asthe-
nopia directly due TO veil wearing Is
that the embarrassed eyes are able to
overcome the additional strain when the
vision Is normal, the oculo-muscular
system IN proper equilibrium and thcgcn-
eral health good.

after excepting company with .
young lady for some months. made
her proposal Of marriage. So
says the Atchinson Globe,
The lady, who not unlikely had
found her lovers politics sometimes
. bit wearisome. responded to his
proposal By saying that she would
take it into consideration and reply
BY mail.
The man waited a full week-a
mostunusually long one, as it seemed
to him-and then received a form
idable-looking missive, some 5000
words in length.
IN IL the young lady explained
her position on the tobacco ques-
ton, stated what she had ALWAYS
advocated as the best kind of bak-
ing-powder, told him that it was
with feeling of deep qualification
that she accepted the homer he had
done her, and hoped that she should
always faithfully preserve the ira
ditions of housekeeping. He was
nearly dead with exhaustion when
he reached the postscript, which
read
