FEDERAL COURT
An Indian of the Potrero Village on
Trial for Assault

The corridors of the Federal building were
unusually unfragrant yesterday. The cause
was the collecting together of seventeen
more or less civilized Indians from the Po
trero village, a sub bdivision of the Sobobc
reservation, who were subpoenaedJ by Dep.
uty United States Marshal Mccullough tc
testify in an Indian assault case which was
begun yesterday in the Federal district
court. The complainant is fat, brown lit
tie squaw Of IA or Is years of age with the
euphonious name of Victoria Ventura and
she accuses one Jose Norta, hard looking
individual, even for an Indian, of criminal
assault.
The alleged offense was committed several
months ago, when the defendant was ar
rested by the policeman of the reservation
and tried before the reservation justice,
Sylvester Sowbelly, who proposed to fine
the alleged seducer the ridiculously small
sum of S., which fine even Enlightened Poor
Lo could not consistently endorse as pun
ishment beftting the crime, and the case
was transferred to the Riverside authorities.
Norta was finally brought here on June ID,
since which time he has been confined in the
county jail. The case was brought before
Judge Wellborn yesterday morning, John

mendaton of F. A. Marcher the Los An
geles jeweler, who was lately released from
jail for lack of evidence of a conspiracy with
Cove to defraud the prosecuting witness in
both cases.
1t is somewhat doubtful whether the
charge can be made to stick against Cove.
on account of the same absence of evidence
which caused the abandonment of the prose

DEWEY,s REoUIsITIoN FOR
.s,t s SOAP. sst..-t

When Admiral Dewey made requisi-
tion for go, 600 pounds of soap he gave
one of the most practical evidences Of
the onward march of civilization. Soap
is essentially a product of civilization,
and the nations using the most soap are
the leaders in progress and enlighten-
ment Soap and the bible go hand in
hand, fguratively speaking, in the de-
velopment of the backward races, and
that cleanliness is next to godliness is a
self-evident truth. When Admiral
Dewey made requisition for 1000
pounds of soap he proved to us that he
was making wonderful progress in the
task of leading the Filipinos to higher
paths of usefulness. It used to be said
of us that we sent our ships to heather
lands loaded with missionaries, bibles
and rum. This may have been slight
stretching of the facts, because the pres
ence of number of missionaries would
have made it impracticable to store
plenty Of rum. Several barrels of rum
could be stored in the room occupied by
a missionary, and our early shipments
were very economical in the matter of
room. But, however this may have
been, it seems that the rum is giving
way to soap, and this is an evidence of
progress. The paths of civilization have
been marked with bibles and soap, and
the liberal application of soap to the
heather person has made it easier to
bring him under the refining influences
of the book of books.
Sixty thousand pounds of soap will
surely have marked effect in the en-
lightenment of the Filipinos, and Ad-
miral Dewey may be depended upon to
see to it that the soap is judiciously dis
tributed and energetically applied

That Proposed English Alliance,

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal some days ago | read the
argument of Col. Will Cumback against the
United States forming an alliarce with
England under any circumstances. and
concluded his opposition originated in the
terrible arraignment Of King George III by
cur revolutionary ancestors. 1 once believed
myself all they said about the oppression of
that monarch toward the colonists but
when found in the late civil war the Union
party assumed the same ground which Eng
lard occupied and proceeded to suppress
the rebellion by sending armies to conquer
the rebels, my opinions became materially
modified for what else could have been ex-
pected of England?
1t seems to me the time has not arrived
for us TO say will or will not form an al
lance with England or any other nation.
We are in war with Spain. and should be
abs to conquer peace within a short time.
but our antagonist. knowing its weakness.
is seeking the aid of France Germany and
Austria. These powers profess neutrality
in the war, but there are evid ances that Sc
cretly they are giving aid to Spain Now
suppose one or all of them shall throw Off
their neutrality and openly espouse the
cause OF that country-Would Colonel Cum
back reject. on account of an ancient preju-
dice, the alliance with England under such
circumstances? Nations are like individ-
uals. When equal TO the emergency they
do not care to form alliances partner
ships. but 1t goes without saying, when un-
able alone to accomplish the object, they
want help. / conclude. therefore. that Col
Cumback is premature in saying this coun-
try should form no alliance with England
We should be governed by circumstances as
they may arise. and in possible If not prob
able contingency it would be monumental
folly for US to reject the friendly aid of Eng
land because of an old prejudice ,>nv
