Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson
will receive hearty commentator
from Kansas for his activity in be-
half Of the butter interests. Col
lectively the American COW is Of more
Importance than the American
banker, because she represents more
wealth. All the national bank notes
in circulation would not pay for the
butter which she produces in a single
year. The dairy products Of this
country are valued by the chief Of the
dairy division Of the department of
agriculture at s450,0OO,OOO a year.
The total expenditures Of the United
States government for the twelve
months ending June 80, 1896, were
$685., SS6,S1l.l5, which shows that the
dairy products would have met these
expenditures and laid by surplus of
slOO,OOO,OO0. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the great dairying interests are
to receive especial consideration at
the hands Of the new secretary.

Indiana IN Hisco,,sin.

wisconsin has at this late day 1000
Indians. One-half Of these speak
enough English for the purposes OF
ordinary conversation, and more than
one-third read the English language.
Practically ali wear the ordinary citi-
zens' dress. They are fast learning to
recognize the legality of marital rela'
tons. Eighty-fve per cent. of them
are engaged in pursuits of civilized life;
ten per cent. in hunting, fishing, root
gathering and the like; only five per
cent. live exclusively on government
rations. OF the 1900 Oneidas, the 1900
Menomonees, and the 500 Stockbridges
and Munsees. all live on labor in civil
lied pursuits. Many Of the 0neidas
compare favorably in thrift, cleanliness
and rational life enjoyment with the
whites in their vicinity. This is the
testimony Of W. H. Mailman, superin-
tendent OF Indian schools. The Onei-
das, Mcnomonees, Stockbridges and
Munsees, he says, are remarkable for
robriety and for their growing respect
for women. They are honest in their
dealings with others, patient under
misfortune and injustice, frugal, in
dustrious self-contained, kind to their
families, solicitous for the welfare OF
their children, eager at all times to do
their best according to the light they
possess and the opportunities afford
er them in their environment. They
are fairly good material for citizenship.
MIR. Mailman thinks, and he looks for
ward to the no-distant day when they
will be admitted to the franchise and
cease to be wards OF the national gov
eminent.

Brother Rice says that he is getting

body who needs "vindication" worse
than he. A man who put in as many
nights as did he during the two
weeks before election caucusing with
the jointists and begging their sup
port for bis election will have to do
something more than this to be "vin-
dicated." Brother Rice is making the
people very weary with his somer-
