From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
There was a man who started out
To elevate the human race,
To clear old heresles away
And make the world a batter place.
He delved in ancient, musty tones,
He often burned the midnight oil,
And labored, that this busy world
Might be the better for his toll.
He wrote in verse and otherwise
The lessons that he had to teach,
But no one bought his books nor would
The people listen to him preach.
For years he sought to make the world
A better and a fairer place
To clear old ignorance away
And elevate the human race.
At last half starved and in despair,
He put his books and pen away
And loi that which he strove to do
He does with simple ease to-day:
He elevates the human race
Read on, and / will tell you how
His rusty pen is idle, but
He runs an elevator now.

The dispatches of yesterday brought re-
ports of an outbreak of Indians in Ore
gon and a threatened outbreak in Ne
vada Respecting the former it was said
that there had been bloodshed, while the
probabilities were that bloodshed would re
suit from the latter, should it materialize.
The chances are that when the reasons for
these Indian troubles are reliably ascer-
tanned they will be found very similar to
those which led to the recent trouble with
the Bear Lake Chippewas. Indian Com
missioner Jones has just returned to
Washington from Minnesota, where he has
been investigating that affair, and from
his verbal report to the Secretary of the
Interior there does not appear to be any
doubt that unscrupulous. villainous white
men were responsible for the trouble.
Commissioner Jones says he has evi-
dence of the fact that there exists an
arrangement between United States deputy
marshals, other government officials and
boarding house keepers whereby Indians
are arrested upon the most trivial charges
imaginable, and often without any rea-
sonable grounds whatever, and carried sew
eraI hundred miles away from their reser-
walton to appear before United States com
missioners. When the government Off
cials have made their excuse for fee,
the Indians are turned adrlft to make
their way back home as best they can.
Outrage after outrage had been perpetrat-
ed upon the Chippewas in the foregoing
manner and in Others until the Indians
refused 10 stand il any longer There was
also some misunderstanding between them
and some white men respecting timber,
and as usual the Indians got the worst
of it. In the matter of the threatened
outbreak in Nevada there is said to be
dispute between reds and whites about
lands and timber.
The INSCRIPTIONS rapacity of white men
in the Indian country-white men in
many cases the agents or representatives
of the government-has been a national
scandal for a great many years. The
people of Minnesota and other states of
the Northwest in which there are Indian
reservations hold up their hands in holy
horror and proclaim the standardization Of
the country when a Southern negro is
ity and morality. At the same time, in
their own section. when the Indians, goad
ed to desperation by outrages and rob-
berry, break the laws In protesting, there
is an immediate resort to armed posses
and a demand for federal troops to quell
the uprising" The theory seems to be
that the Indian is a legitimate prey for
the plunderer, and that "the only good
Indian is a dead Indian" therefore they
are robbed and maltreated, and if they re-
sist they are shot.
The Dawes commission was created some
time ago in the hope that it would find
a solution of the IAdian problem. 1t
seems. SO far to have failed. Posi-
bly, il would be a good idea to treat the
Indians with more consideration, and the
mean white men who rob and plague them
with some severity.

GOVERNING INFERIOR RACES.

In the course of an address before the
Massachusetts Club at Boston the other
day ex-Minister to Spain Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford made some interesting remarks
respecting our governing inferior
races. I'VE have not" said he, made
such tremendous success in the negro
problem a the South as to make us hurry
10 assume the responsibility of govern
ing inferior races whether they are in
the Caribbean sea or in the far off Philip
pine Islands"
There is only one inferior race in this
country that we have ever undertaken
to govern-the Indians. I'VE" have never
tried to govern the negroes. AS soon as
they were made free I'VE" made them CO.
governors with 'us," giving them every
civil and political right that we" our
selves had. More than that, I'VE" imme-
diately set them to governing white men,
putting them on the bench as judges, in
the state capitols as legislators, in the
box as jurors. at the polls as managers
of elections and in hundred other places
which should be occupied only by the
governing element. That was the way
we" set out 20 "solve the negro problem
at the South" which Gen. Woodford adj
mits has not been attended with tire
mendous success" Still, Notwithstanding
its lack of success, I'VE" continue to
pursue the self-same policy. as far as
1--WE" are able. I'VE" are putting the ne
gro into postofiices, collectorships ana
other important government positions
right along, just as if he were not of an
inferior race. Our experiences with the
negro, therefore, do not offer an illustra-
ton of our capacities in the way of gov
crning" inferior races
Another thing that Gen. Woodford said
was this; you win never administer
Porto Rico, you will never administer
Cuba, you win never administer Hawaii,
YOU viii never administer the Philippine
Islands upon the theory that because a
man has successfully run a primary in
Boston or a caucus in New York, there
fore he is qualified to rule, to administer.
to represent the United States in the dis
tant colonies" This view is calculated to
dampen the ardor of many of the poll
ticians who are loudly demanding that the
United States enjoy their Just rewards OF
war" otherwise that they grab everything
they can that belongs to Spain. They will
be apt to ask, in the historic language of
Web Flanagan of Texas, What are we
here for?" If the new possessions are not
TO furnish a supply of good things for the
faithful workers of the party, what is the
good of having them? Our diplomatic and
consular services are run upon the spols
system The man who can manage sue
cessfuily a Republican campaign in In
diana is regarded as having all of the quail
iheetions necessary for the consul general
ship at Paris. If our foreign political and
commercial affairs can be run by practi-
cal politicians upon the spoils system. why
may not a few islands more or less be run
upon a similar system?

The tendency of the courts is more and
more toward a strict construction of the
charters of corporations and the limiting
OF their business within the lines laid
down by the state. out in Illinois the
Supreme Court has decided that the Pull
man Palace Car Company exceeded its
privileges when ii went into town build
ing and has declared its ownership of the
city of Pullman illegal. The company has
been instructed that it must dispose Of
the properly and conhne itself to the
work of building and operating sleeping

listic orators will overlook this and other
similar incidents when they begin to in
weigh against the corporate control of the
courts.

What Is sin? The Congregational min
listers Of New York attempted to settle the
question at their association meeting
Some were convinced that dancing was
sin, others were sure that drinking and
gambling were, and still others looked up
on Sabbath breaking as one of the chief
among mans iniquities. Lying. stealing,
theater going, card playing. and all the
usual list of offenses in the eyes of the
church were mentioned, but differences of
opinion prevailed as 10 their relative wick
edness. At last, though, the majority de-
cided that 'sin Is a moral responsibility
depending solely on a personal point Of
view, always assuming that there is a de-
sire to do right behind it," Man must
evidently go it alone, be his own Judge and
- his own chances.

If we annex the Philippines, or assume

The registration in Greater New York
is $50, 3S9, against 548, 965 two years ago. an
increase of 1924. Politicians have been
greatly surprised by this as heretofore the
registration has been greater in presiden-
tial years. Inasmuch as the Democrats
made the most effort to get out their vot-
ers, and had the best Organization, it is
fair to presume that the heavier registra-
ton is decidedly in their favor. 1t is on
this that Croker is evidently basing his
claim that unless the Republicans can
come to the Harlem with over 100000 ma
jority their ticket will be defeated

Gen. Greedy, of the signal service, pays
a deserved tribute TO the conduct of the
mass of the American papers during the
war with Spain. Outside of few jour
nails that were willing to sacrifice country
or anything else in the wild desire for SEN
sational news, there was a general will
ingness to cooperate with the government
in the suppression of any facts that would
benefit the enemy or embarrass the army
and navy departments in the execution of
their plans. American newspapers may
have their faults, but it cannot be laid
at their door that they are unpatriotic.
