Brander Matthews, professor Of Eng

asserts that English is today spoken by
about 126,O0O,O0O human beings. Its
only competitor among civilized Ian
guages is Russian, which is the mother
tongue of nearly 130,000,O00 persons,
while the users of German number
about 100000. and the speakers of
French are a trifle over 4O, 0O0, 900
strong. Using these facts as basis,
Professor Matthews estimates that, if
the present rate of increase among
populations should keep up for another
eentury. English would be spoken by
iaofe than SO0,00O,0O0 people, while Rus
SIAN would stand second with 500. 900 600

According to a poet i'm the New York

Spain is said to have sanctioned the

The Indian Trouble.

The Indian Trouble.
The Indian uprising, of which such
alarming reports were at first sent out,
may be considered (even though these
reports should prove true) as little
more than a riot. The Chippewas to
which tribe the Pillagers belong, have
been peaceable for the lifetime Of a
generation. They have for the most
part adopted the ways of Americans,
and have earned their living by agri-
culture They are no more fitted to
carry on a war than SO many white
farmers living in the far West. The
story of the trouble is that of nearly
every Indian outbreak. The agrees
sions of the whites have aroused a
feeling of resentment on the part of
the Indians. The immediate cause of
the conflict with the troops was the
unsuccessful attempt of civil officers to
thefts. The criminals were shielded by
their Indian brothers, and troops were
called upon to help serve the warrants.
But back of all this was grievance
which disposed the good" Indians to
protect their fellows.
The government had determined to
remove these Indians from the lands
they now occupy to the White Earth
reservation. Although it is declared
that the new lands to be given them
are better than those they now pos
sess, the Indians We're loath to break
up their homes, and demanded COM
,pensation for the improvements they
had made. The justice of the claim was
recognized, and a bill was introduced
in Congress appropriating $4,000 for
the purpose 1t was ruled out on a
technicality, however, and the Indians
found themselves on the point of being
elected from their homes without such
reimbursement for the improvements
they had made as had been acknowl-
edge to be just. White men would
have resisted under similar circum-
stances, and we can hardly blame the
Indians for their course in the matter.
They began by banding together to re-
sist arrest, and then when troops We're
brought to subdue them by force of
arms attacked the later
1t is extremely improbable that the
soldiers have suffered as severely as
the first reports indicated; it is unfort-
innate that they were made to suffer
at all. The grievance of the Indians
was against Congress; but it is the SOL
diers from Santiago who must suffer.
The Pillagers occupy a reservation
only a short distance west of Duluth
and in touch with white settlers. The
purpose has been to move them fur
Their westward, and it is quite proba-
BILE that the incentive is the desire of
the whites to occupy their lands. They
are not numerous enough to give much
trouble though the force originally
sent against them, single company
of infantry, may be roughly handled
before it has been reinforced. The
company belongs to the Third Infantry,
which saw service at Santiago, and is
armed with Krag-Jorgensen rifles.
General Bacon, an old Indian fighter,
is in command. The regulars, under
these circumstances, should be a match
for three times their number of In
dams. 1t will, of course, be necessary
to subdue the rebellious Indians, but
after that has been accomplished, JUS
tice should be done to the survivors.
