AMERICAN INDIANS.

One Of the recent suggestions of SCI
entific writers Is that physically the
Americans are slowly developing like
nesses to the Indians. The tendency of
reversion to the type indigenous to the
soil Is matter of discussion among the
learned, and American anthropologists
have been slow to concede that wei are
growing like the red men. Partisan sa-
wants, however. taking unprejudiced
Views, are more favorable to the theory,
and assume to have found anthropolog-
ical statistics that support 1t. 1t is mat
ter of common observation that Ameri-
can descendants of natives of other con-
tinents who come here are modified
physically as well as mentally by their
environment, but the changes from va
rious intermarriages and from differ
ences of food and manner of life are so
rapid. compared with the gradual
changes that come from soil and eli
mate, that these latter are apt to be
overlooked. Let us watch the southern
negroes. They intermarry among them
selves nowadays, and are not so much
affected as they used to be by admix-
lures of white blood. If in the course of
a few centuries they show a tendency
to grow copper-colored and straight
haired, it will be an argument in the new
theory's favor, and we may look to our
own cheekbones and, noses.-Harper'
Weekly.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT

The senatorial fight at Sacramento
appears to be narrowed down to the
question Of whether the state of Cali
fornia or the sugar trust shall have
senator The constitutions of the state
and Of the United States provides for
a representative Of the people in the
senate but the constitution and by
laws of the sugar trust also provide for
a senator who shall stand for it and its
interests, without considering what is
or what is not hest for the state.
The sugar trust has put forward
candidate whose fitness is based upon
the fact that he is a San Francisco law
yer and the brother of the editor and
publisher of the Call The people of
the state know nothing of his capabili-
ties, nor did they ever in the most in
direct or remote way consider the prob
ability or the possibility of his candi-
dacy when they elected the members of
the present legislature. But of course
the people were not in the confidence Of
the sugar trust during the campaign.
The sugar trusts candidate had no
following among the legislators elect
until day or two before the meeting of
the legislature, when it was discovered
that he had a good many admirers.
How all that comes about might be eX-
planned by quoting from Jay Gould S
testimony before the investigating COM
mittee of the New York legislatures:
mo, did not contribute money to the
election of any one, not of my own
money nor of the Erie Railway company.
/ have had some experience in that line,
however, and 1 will give you the benefit
of my experience by telling you that
1t is very much cheaper to buy a man
after he is elected to the legislature than
1t is to pay his campaign expenses"

WHY ALLISON DECLINES

Senator Allison could not do other
wise than decline cabinet position. MI
Allison represents an agricultural state,
and hence he could not be a member of
McKinley's high protection family.
There is not great commercial or in
dustrial center in the state of Iowa, but
it is. nevertheless, one of the richest
states in the union. There are more farm
ers who are money lenders in Iowa than
in any other state, and the farms of
no section of the country are in a higher
state of cultivation. The state is dotted
all over with small business centers.
which shows that the people are liberal
buyers of goods and wares, and natur-
ally they are not high protectionists.
Senator Allison has always been more
of a free trader than a protectionist.
His state wants reasonable protection
against foreign agricultural products
and it wants the benefits accruing from
foreign competition when it comes to
buying supplies, which means everything
except breadstuffs and provisions. Iowa
too, is strong for bime talism and it is
the sentiment of the people that if the
other commercial nations should refuse
to join with the United States in remon-

STOCKHOLDING JUDGES

Federal judges becoming stockholders
in railroads and other corporations and
thus disqualifying themselves from Civ
ing impartial decisions in litigation that
may come before them, is serious mat
ter. if it were only an occasional circum-
stance. But when a federal district at
torney declares that seven out of eight
judges in one section of the country are
stockholders in corporations engaged in
violating the United States laws the
condition is so grave that it demands
law prohibiting federal Judges from
owning stock in corporations of any kind.
