So when our good friends of the

At the October Indian Conference
at Lake MOhOnk, DIR. Ellis said,
we are no longer trying to make
a Puritan of the Indian, but to
make good Indian. That is, he
is taken with his prejudices and
customs, and made better. His
racial instincts are recognized.
The common law of the English
speaking world is founded mainly
on immemOrial usage, or custom,
which becomes the racial instinct,
and yet this powerful common
law is often contrary to good alb
stract reasoning. 1t is surprising
that lawyers are not the first, in
this community, to realize the SUI
preme force of race instincts in
shaping institutions. Even if Lord
Bacon is not considered an eau

be.

SUPERNATURAL NATIVES.

After reading several cOmmuni-
cations on the subject of ''racial
instincts" we have concluded that
the large majority of educated"
men i'm this community have not
given it much, if any attention,
and. therefore, know as little about
it as they do about sewerage
systems upon which theirs and
their families health and even
life somewhat depends. This is
due, mainly, to a lack of time, and
inclination to study these sub
jects, and not to the lack Of in
telligence or ability. These sub
jects are disposed of by hOrse-shed
opinions, or are waived off with a
motion of the hand. In the end,
the community suffers from such
trifing.
The great mass of material on
the force of habit collected by stu
dents and scholars is hardly
known. The wisdom of Lord
Bacon was expressed in these
words: "The predominance of
custom is everywhere visible, in
asmuch as a man would wonder
to hear men profess, protest, en-
gage, give great words, and then
do just as they have done before;
as if they were dead images and
engines, moved only by the wheels
of custom" "Instinct," custom"
and 'habit" are convertible
terms. The Latins said: Gus
tom is a second law" and Carlyle
said: owe do everything by Gus
tom, even believe by it; our very

THE JAPANESE DIET DISSOLVED.

The quick dissolution of the
japanese Diet by the Emperor,
again makes confusion in Japan.
1t became clear, on a motion of
want of confidence in the Cabinet,
that the motion would carry, and
the Emperor under the advice of
the Cabinet, dissolved the Diet at
once.
1t looks as if Japan was suffer
ing more from internal disorder
than from foreign troubles. The
whole case illustrates with much
force, the supreme difficulty of
changing the racial habits, Gus
toms, and instincts of any people
in a day. The new Constitution

THE RAILWAY AND THE GOV
ERNMENT.

The dispute between the Gov
eminent and Mr.. Dillingham; is
this, as we understand it:
Previous administrations, un-
der the laws and charters, gave to
the Oahu Railway Company, lib
eral rights to use and build whar
yes, and no limitation was eX
pressly put on the extent of this
power. The Railway Company
has borrowed large sums Of
money on the faith and strength
of this grant, and the income to
be derived from it. Any depriva-
ton of the franchise, impairs the
value of the security which the
bond holders and creditors have
for the payment of their claims.
The present Government, very
wisely believes, that the wharfage
front should belong to the people,
and it proposes to take away the
wharf rights of the Railway Com
pany, but at the same time give
the Railway Company abundant
facilities for doing its business.
The Railway Company insist
that if this is done, it will not only
deprive it of its granted rights,
under the laws and charters, but
greatly impair the security held
by it's creditors.
The present policy of the Gov
eminent should have been adopt
ed years ago, and no wharf rights
should have been granted, but
these rights have been granted,
and are now outstanding.
While the Government may
take almost anything for public
use, under the right of eminent
domain" the question is raised
whether it can take back that
that which it has solemnly con
tracted to give, that is, can it i'm
pair its own contracts?
1t is what the lawyers call a
"nice" question, and it is more
difficult to decide it here, because
our Constitution and laws are I'M
like those of the United States, on
this subject.
Mr.. Dillingham; insists that the
Government is trying to beat him,
by securing possession of the
property by force, which is said
to be nine tenths of the law. The
Government denies it.
The dispute between the Gov
eminent and the Railway Com
pany is in the Courts, and is an
entirely separate from the matter
of properly securing the largest
possible wharf fronts in the har-
Dor.

From thirty plants Mrs. Reider has
secured enough coffee to last her near

TRIBUNE MISREPRESENTATION.
Thoroughly Exposed By Hon. D. C.
Dunbar.

A most interesting meeting was held
last night in Richards hall, under the
auspices of the Scandinavian Demo-
cratic society. The hail was we'll flied
with intelligent and thoughtful aides
and gentlemen. Several Of the speakers
addressed the meeting in the Swedish
language but the chief speech was in
= english by Hon. D. c. Dunbar. The
meeting was called to order by John
Halvorson, who presided during the
evening, and =. J. Nelson acted as sec
rotary.
City Councilman F. S. Fernstrom was
the first speaker. He addressed the
meeting in the Scandinavian language.
Mr. FernStrOm impressed upon the au-
dience the fact that the great issue of
this campaign is the moneary question,
notwithstanding that the Republicans
say tariff is the burning question. He
referred at length TO the national plat
forms of the two parties, in which the
Democrats declare for silver and the
Republicans for gold. Thus the real is
sues of the campaign were laid down.
The ladies' quartette gave a rendition,
which was received with applause.
DUNBAR CHEERED.
Hon. D. c. Dunbar was the next
speak er. and on taking the floor he
was loudly cheered. He said. in part,
that TINS Is DI0DdOly Lie liiOSl
ant campaign ever waged in Utah. for
fhe reason that the people have to
choose between the silver men and the
goidbugs. All those on the Democratic
ticket are straight out silver men. while
the Republican candidates are nearly
ali for gold, and their ticket represents
the Mckinley gold standard theory of
finance. True, they have two planks
in their platform, a silver and q gold
one. but are juggling with them with
intent to deceive the people.
Mr.. Dunbar then turnedElis attention
TO the county's finances, and showed in
a very clear light the utterly faisity of
the figures published in the Tribune.
When the present county commission
ers entered upon office county warrants
were selling at a discount of Is to 20
cents on the dollar, and had been so
for months. and the Tribune's state

and the memories of those who had to

rounty's finances on cash basis, and
not till then.
