AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE.

Chairman Hanna and his colabor-
ers on the executive committee Of the
Indianapolis sound money convention
are urging the gold standard news
papers to press the President to call
congress in extra session in March to
fasten the gold standard upon the
Country. Their argument is that if
the question is left open for the win
ter session 1t will be 80 close to the
Presidential election that there would
be great danger Of the country going
Democratic.
1t is practically settled that con-
gress will be convened in March to
legislate for the colonies and enact
Cages monetary system into a law.
The pressure on the President is too
great for him to advise against finan-
ciel legislation; besides, he has to
have an extra session of Congress to
look after his islands, and when 1t
meets he will be unable to persuade
it to adjourn without passing a gold
standard bill, even should he think it
the wise thing to do. If agolG stand
ard law is to be enacted it will make
no difference to the Democratic party
whether it ID enacted next spring or
tho following winter. 1t, is ready for
the issue now, it will be next spring
and In every other eason Of the year
until it opens the mints to the white
metal on q perfect equality with gold
at the existing legal ratio. But the
people should bear in mind that The
Indiana and Ohio Hannas and the
President believe they must be fooled
by calling Congress out Of a

hCKINLEY's OPEN DOOR POLICY.

The open door policy" for the Phil.
ippines as outlined by the admlnistra-
ten is causing a coed deal Of discus
sion in the newspapers. The Chicago
Inter Ocean, Republican. in deecus-
sing this question says:
"The terms are preposterous. The
men who put them forward have for
gotten the traditions Of the govern
mont, the principles Of our whole
financial policy, and the final pre-
rogative Of a Republican majority in
the Senate to reject the treaty. Or
all the concessions the most objec-
tionable is that declaring the open
door or practical free trade in the
Philippines. This is ~intolerable be-
u it brings the question Of our
domestic policy into a war treaty and
recognizes the principle Of foreign
meddling with u revenu system.
The offer is entirely gratuitous, be-
cause Spain required no such conces.
sion rs q sine qua non, and it is OF
less benefit to her than to the com
mercial rivals Of the United States.
"What a farce this offer Of anything
like an open door to the Philippines
must seem to President Mckinley,
with his lifelong championship Of
protection in mind, and with the Nc
Kinley bill and the Dmgley law before
him! 1t seems incredible that &

INDIANS MAKE FINE MODELS
They SIT as II Petrihed, Says . Chi
caEo Artist Who Has Been
Among Them.

If Indian chiefs, like other poten-
tates, had their court painters, the
appointment would certainly go to
+. ~. Burbank, the Chicago artist. He
has just returned to this city after
spending nearly a year among scat
tering tribes, with some 80 heads of
chiefs, squaws, medicine men-on can
vas only-and a freight load of SOU
venirs in the shape of Navajo blan-
kets, bead-work, basket-work, pottery,
feather headdresseS and aboriginal
gods. This was not his first nor his
second visit to the nations wards. At
n time or another he has painted
Rain-in-the-Face, Spotted Horse and
nearly all the prominent chiefs still
living. That Die blackguard, Geroni-
mo, invites him to dinner and conde-
sends to put his own distinguished
autograph upon his portraits, and a
child of seven would print just about
as well.
Christian Nai-che, who was right
fully the chief of the Apaches until the
willy medicine man uSurped his posi-
ton, has also been among Burbank's
s%itters, and carved him a remarkable
cane, about which twines q green
stained serpent, as a trifing token Of
esteem. Court painters across the
ocean get jeweled canes from royalty.
How would n of them like having
his picture attributed to magic art,
and himself suspected of w~itchcraft?
That is what happened to Burbank
among the Zunis, who believe it a re-
ligious act to kill witches.
Indians are fine models" said the
artist. They don't know what nerves
are. They sit as if petrifed. I had
a little clock that: struck the half
hours. and my ~sitters soon learned
that they could rest whenever it
sounded. Between times they sat rs
II carved from stone. How did I Der
suade them to pose? Flattery? o, lit
tie, perhaps, but here are your best
persuaders," jingling big silver dollars
together. II have established a req
ular tariff among them. So much for
a plainly-dressed Indian; SO much
more for n in war or dance cos
tune. Geronimo, sly old fellow, de-
mands half a dollar more than any
n else. Sometimes all your money
and all your prayers won't induce
them to pose in a ceremonial dress.
When It-say-yo did it, we locked the
doors and soaped the windows care
fully, so that no one could see in from
outside. Usually I worked with such
a crowd of copper-colored faces peer
ing in at the low windows that they
obstructed the light. If they had
known what I~t-say-yo was doing they
would have logged him till the blood
came"
It-say-yo is n gentleman of terrify-
ing aspect. His nose and cheeks are
striped across with black, grecS, yell
low and red; his naked body is paint
ed in zigzags Of green, and his fore
lead is pure white. Around his
brawny neck are many strings of
shell beads and rough turquoise; buck
skin is fastened about his loins; and
his shield bears the eagle emblem,
marking him as one of the seven chiefs
OF the bow. For all that, he is pacif-
ically employed washing dishes and
the like for the trader at Zuni; "and
he is an awful nice fellow" comments
Burbank, adding as an ~afterthought,
"he killed his wife's mother, though"

sition very well, and that thing which ia
TO bring him In two fold prices for what
he has should be the thirg the farmer
desires, and, in fact, does desire. Good
roads are a means TO this end; they put
him easily and rapidly TO market In all
seasons Of the year; they create better
demsnd for his lands, and in fact for
whatever he has that can be made mar
ketable, There is everything in favor,
therefore, of the improvement of our
roads. The News has year in and year
out tried to impress this matter upon the
public, believing in it's necessity and
fiual contamination. Whether or not
anything shall be done soon we are I'M
vble to say, but one thirg is certain, we
can never amount to much as a county
and as people looking to improvements
in a substantial measure unless we first
overhaul aud improve our roads.

Orphans Home.

BRANDENBURG, KY, Jan. 81 haye a
sweet story to tell all Christians, on this
the dawniDg of the New Year. We
have all just heard the sweet notes OF
the Christmas tide, but my story is as
sweet and outrivals, in purity OF tone,
all else save the ore Of the Christ Child,
Gods best gift to the world. In every
land there are precious lambs, time
often comes in Gods providence when
the Shepherd is called away and the
lambs are left for lions to come and
devour. Bro. Hesson, now our pastor OF
the Methodist church, has found the
sling and the smooth stones from the
''pebbly brook OF Oedron" to slay these
lions and provide fastness for little
lambs, where they can be sheltered and
their young lives frightened. Bro. He's
son has secur,d the DR.. Ditto property
in close proximity to the parsonage and
church and which he will convert into
"The Lucille Orphan Home" About
two years ago he conceived the idea of
starting such home and last spring
when God called his own little lamb,
Lucille" to an everlasting home he was
more forcibly impressed with his cher
ished idea and desire to name it for
his own whom the merciful Father could
not spare. The Home will be non-sec-
tartan as to the reception of orphan
children, but a Methodist institution.
There will be no especial law on regulat-
ton for the reception. The law OF love
will govern and love alone. Bro. Hesson
has entered into a contract or league
with the Kentucky Children's Home
Society" of which Judge r II. Thomp-
son, Of Louisville is Preside mt and the
Rev. VIM. Shoesmith, State Superin-
tendent. They sgree to help gather up
the children and also agree to find homes
for the children when 1t is decided best
to dismiss them. No especial age will
be considered for dismissal. There will
be matron in charge, assisted by the
older children to care for the home
and smaller children. The Home,
though located here is not a strictly
county affair, as there are four or Eve
children already at the parsonage from
Maysville and Louisville. The enter
prise will be dependent upon voluntary
contributions and donations, money,
clothing, bedding, provisions, fuel and
literature. Save up and send little books
aud papers, for the mind must be fed as
well as the body. For the present the
children will be sent TO the public school
but in time a school may be taught In
connection with the "Lucile Home"
DIR. Dowden expects to'leave the Ditto
property In about six weeks when the |
Home will be ready for children, about
twenty can be Accommodated. Bro.
Hesson does not see why most OF our
Homes should be in the cities, for the |
country people are proverbial for gener-
osity aud liberality, hence his plan TO
have one established here. How Is this |
Home to be furnished? To some extent |
like Norton Infrmary in Louisville. |
For instance II Mrs. ID. O. Pussy furnish |
90 one room, II will be the Pussy room.
