Above All.

The friends of Schley assert with
warmth that the Maryland COM
modore fought the fight that hum
bled Spain's authority in the Car
ibbean. The champions Of Samp,
son come along with the sto-y that
the commodore was ten miles at
sea with the swift Brooklyn when
the fight began.
In this partisan clamor over the
right to glory growing out Of the
annihilation of the Cervera sqad-
ron, there arises one clear, strong
note that sounds above all the
rest. When the battle was at an
end, Captain Phillips of the Texas,
the ship that fought and chased
and tore through the contest from
first to last, took his hat from his
head, and, bowling to his maker,
ordered every man of his COM
mand to thank God Almighty to-
the victory of the day.
While the partisans of Sampson
and Schley fight over the question
of who did it, let the rest of US
take off our hats and bow to the
Supreme authority that was rec-
ognized above commodore, admir-
al and 5O-foot guns by the gallan1o
Captain Jack.-Republic.

klondike Candy.

Klondike candy is the latest thing to
be offered on the market. A Chicago
confectioner has filed his window with
boxes of yellow caramels that would
give heart failure TO prospector in
Alaska should he suddenly fall into pos
session of one. The nuggets are rough
and made to resemble, so far as the skill
of the maker can effect it, the genuine
mineral. While boz of nuggets would
be worth thousands of dollars, this in
ventive dealer offers the inducement of
disposing of them for 20 cents. The
popularity of the new candy has been
somewhat affected by the resemblance
of the coloring matter used TO the paint
sold by venders in alleyways for statues
and other ornaments.-Chicago Chroni-

GOLD IN HER GRlPSACK.
She Was Irish and Afraid of Nothing That

Among the passengers who recently
arrived in Philadelphia on the steam

''Why do you leave your native land

BIG TREE ANNIVERSARY.
One Hundred Years Ago Seneca Indians
Sold the Fertile Genesee Valley.

The hundredth anniversary of the
treaty of Big Tree, which was the be-
ginning of the white settlement of the
Genesee valley, was celebrated the
other day in Geneseo, n. Y. The big
tree, sections of which are still pre-
served at the Wadsworth mansion, was
nine feet in diameter and stood ON the
bank of the Genesee river in the valley
below the site of the village of Geneseo.
There was the council house of the
Seneca Indians The tree and council
house are gone, but their site is care
fully preserved The treaty conference
at Big Tree in 1897 resulted in the sale
of all the Indian lands west of the
Genesee river, excepting ten tracts re-
served, total of 337 square miles, to
Robert Morris, representing the Holland
Land company.

A gentleman in this city whose
opinions are vel! worth attention
suggests plan for the equallza-

Indian citizens. The plan is TO
divide the land equally by the
acre without reference to improve
ments or inherent value, each
citizen taking the same amount in
area, the allotments 20 be graded
and appraised. Those who take
first grade land receive it as their
full share of the entire tribal es.

OF nine months after the passage

under the section providing for

it is difficult to see how it is to be
