The terms ON which the United States
has enforced its peace arrangements
with Spain are in the minds Of the ma
jority of Americans liberal and gener
GUS. To the small minority disposed
to take a different view there. are some
considerations which may he empha-
sized in striking the balance. The
United States has made no demands
for indemnity, of which most formi-
dable roll of details, running into the
hundreds of millions, could easily be
made out. Had our government fol-
lowed the European fashion in making
up the debt and credit account of war.
it would have left Spain scarcely peg
on which to hang an expectation. 10
cite q recent illustration, our treatment
Of Spain compared with that of France
by GeImany is case of shining bene-
1cence. That meant not only the loss
of Alsace-Lorraine, but a thousand
milliards Of francs in addition.

The Richmond (Va.) Times is correct
when it says this is not country of
sections, in which one geographical
division has one set Of interests and
one Line of policy, while another mas a
different line of pUlicy. It's one broad
land extending from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Prcitic Ocean and from
Canada to Mexico, i'll which there is
one law for all, one language for all,
and over which one flag floats as the
emblem of the common nationality of
all. White rule being conceded, for
that, of course, supersedes all things,
We should be glad il we never again
heard of the Interests of the South" !"
The interests of the South are the in
terests of the nation, and her highest
interest is to see the nation at peace
and prosperous, with one rule in gen.
eral matters for all parts of the nation,
while each locality is left to provide
for the special administration of the
local affairs of that locality.

The Fetch Diamond,

The South African native, it seems,
is not always decorated with the mere
trumpery of the traders wallet or OF
his own purveyance. 1t has become
an attested fact that excellent dia.
monds, and diamonds better than that,
are possessed by chiefs and boarded
by them, not so much in intelligence
of their value as in a firm fetichism.
The stones have come to their hands
by the good old-fasioned method of
stealing them from the Kimberley
mines years ago, before the present
minute watch against gem-thieving
was systematized. Diamond. stealing
at present is practically impossible
Under the peculiar methods of its pre-
vention. Before the rigid examina-
lions of workmen and visitors began
to be enforced, native laborers often
were under a secret compact with
their tribal rulers not to come hack
from the mines without q good sized
stolen diamond for the chiefs use;
hence, great many superb gems are
in the dark unfathomeI caves of a
Katfr headman's establishment.
Within few years enterprising trad
ers have made special expeditions and
palavers for diamonds 50 hidden. with
the result of successful baytering for
them. Liquor and guns have been
found useful. II some instances the
superstition of the chiefs stood in the
way of traders recovering valuable
stones; but, on the other hand, %
small company working on this line of
acquisition is credited with having
obtained within four months not less
than two hundred thousand dol ars'
worth of diamonds. One agent sue
ceeded in buying of chief six stones
of more than two hundred Earats each.

PROGRESSIVE REDSKINS.
Remarkable Step In n New Era Of In.
dian Civilization.

-
Remarkable step in n New Era of In.
dian Civilization.
The Iowa tribe of Indians living in
Kansas and Nebraska have just sent
to Congress petition asking to have
their tribal trust funds distributed
pro rata among the members of the
tribe, and credited to the several
shareholders individually on the
books of the treasury department, TO
be distributed for the benefit of each
individual at the discretion of the Sec
rotary of the interior, the balance, il
any, to be paid to the heirs of each on
his death, according to the state laws
governing inheritance.
This is remarkable step forward
and probably marks the beginning of
a new era in Indian civilization. The
Iowas are a progressive tribe. They
hold their lands in severalty, and are
American citizens. Their petition is
signed by them, not by cross marks,
but with full written signatures, with
the exception of one man, the only
adult in the tribe who cannot write
his own name. They all understand
English and are fully cognizant Of the
effect of their course if Congress acts
favorably upon their petition.
Almost all Indians are timorous
about adopting any forward program
themselves. They hang back and al
low the government to drag them in
to new relations with the whites and
white civilization. But the Iowas
have set the pace for new movement
of voluntary advance. They do not
propose that the tribal funds shall be
taken out of the treasury and handed
over to them, but simply that on the
governments books each member of
the tribe shall have seperate bank
account; and that his pro rata share of
the interest shall be spent by the gov
eminent for his individual benefit in
stead of for the benefit OF the tribe as
@ mass.
1t is hoped that the example set by
the Iowas will be followed by other
citizen Indians. who hear of it, or who
witness its good effects. The Sac and
Fox Indians in the same neighbor-
hood have considered the question of
sending in similar petition, but they
are still afraid to venture on what they
regard as so radical a change They
are not yet so advanced in the spirit
of civilization as the Iowas but little
while hence they will probably get
over their alarm and follow suit

No Prison for Women.

Austria is the only country in the
world which never places woman in
prison, no matter what crime she COM
mits. Instead of being locked up, the
female malefactor is sent to one Of a
number of converts, devoted to the
purpose, aud is kept there during the
time for which she is sentenced. The
courtyard stands open all day long,
the only bar to egress being a nun,
who acts as doorkeeper. just the same
as in the ordinary convent.

The Horrible and Grotesaue,

Not n few of the scenes clergyman
is called upon to witness are both
grotesque and terrible. An old man
had been ill for months, but clung to
life with that wonderful pertinacity
which is so common with old people.
He was, OF course, great burden to
his two daughters, who had to nurse
him and at the same time earn their
own bread. One day, on being asked
how the old man was, one of the
daughters, even while she stood by
the bed, announced, "E's Just the
same, e is such time a-dying. I
wish ed 'urry up a bit it's a awk'ard
for me and my sister, with our other
work to do" 1t was terrible enough
to see natural feeling all but destroyed
by poverty. but there was something
truly awful in the scene when the old
man gasped over from his bed, 81 am
a-making 'aste, amt l? I've got no
call for to live. "-Cornhill.

Three travellers met at the Brandon pass,

They shared their cake and venison,
And talked Of many a thing;
or books and songs and foreign lands,
OF strange and wandering lives;
And by and by. In softer tones,
They spoke Of their homes and wives.

The second traveller said;

But, my friends. love is best"
