was tightly frozen in an icefioe of con-
siderable size, and the men were work
ing with all their might to make a
| landing. They were too far out to get
| any assistance from shore, although
several men followed along on the side
ice ready to do anything within their
power. A mile below town there is a
gorge where the ice has been piled III,
several feet high, and the danger seem
ed imminent of the boat being crushed,
or Of boat and men being drawn under
| the blockade. Hundreds of people
watched them as they drifted into the
great tumble of ice. Part of the time
the boat was hidden from sight, and
then again an end was hoisted into
the Air. 1t must have been only by
great exertion that they kept it from
filing and sinking. When they be-
came wedged into the jam one man
sprung on to the ice; then the others
followed. The boat was soon frozen
solidly in place, and the three men
ended their trip down the Yukon by
packing their goods across a quarter
of mile Of very rough ice to solid
shore
Although not many deaths by drown
ing have been reported, it is hardly pos
sible that they have not occurred. Oc-
caslonally smashed or wrecked hull
is seen drifting past town. The acci-
uents ana deaths are plentiful enough,
ana scarcely any one gets through safe.
~ VINO cannot tell story of a mar
row escape. Two boatloads of newcom-
ers succeeded in making a landing ut
the upper end of town to-day. They
had had hard time of ii for the last
Tour days, and We're as much dead as
alive when they reached their destina-
ton. Their goods were frozen in a
mass in the boats-which is several de-
grees better than losing them.-Chica-

''THE CHEAPEST THING IN
AMERICA"

Heretofore those advocating the free and
Independent coinage of silver have based
one of their favorite arguments upon the
assumption that the United States is a bor-
rowing nation, and that a cheap and larger
volume Of money at home was necessary to
deliver the American people out of the grip
of the foreign money lender. We were
told that a gold policy was the policy of
foreign money lenders and would surely
make US their slaves. Many people were
led to believe this assumption We have
been a debtor nation, but that day is of the
past. The latest evidence that such is not
the case and that the United States have
become not only creditor nation, but one
OF the worlds financial conters, is present
ed in the statement of Mr.. Eckels and in
the fact that Russia has passed by Berlin
and London and made an effort to place her
bonds in the United States In financial
circles it is said that money is the cheap
est thing in America" This is not true of
New York alone, butt is true in a degree
here in indianapolis, when a ten-year mu-
nicipal bond bearing 315 per cent has been
sold to local financial houses at the equiva-
lent of 3.22 per cent.
The causes of this abundance of cheap
ana good money in the United States have
been told many times. We are producing
S6OOO0,0O0 in gold annually and it stays at
home. The payments of dividends and in
terest on stocks and bonds will set $1OO, ,0O0-
eco af1oat. To pay off a portion of the
money due us as balance in trade 5000 600
came to US during October and November.
Much more is yet due us, because a favora-
bic traue balance seems to have been per-
manently established. This opinion is not
based upon the assumption that we will al
ways be selling Europe so large volume of
breadstuffs and provisions as now, but be-
cause we have come to the condition when
we can sell the outside world as much in
value of manufactured goods as foreigners
Sc. to us. years the excess of our i'm
ports of manufactured merchandise has
been so large that it has taken all of our
surplus of the products of the soil to square
the account. Thanks to the Republican
policy we are a great competitor in the
world of manufactures as we'll as the
products of the soil Because of that policy
and by reason of it's great fight in 1896
against the silver heresy, the United States
is to-day a creditor nation.

The story Of the seminoIe..

The author of "Red Patriots the Story Of
the Seminoles," Charles II. Coe. has rem
dered service to history by compiling and
giving connected form to the scattered facts
relating to an interesting passage in Amer
lean history. 1t is the story of the Semi
noles and the Seminole war, and 1t is a dis
graceful one for the United States. In all
the long and dismal record of our blunder-
ing and cruel treatment of the Indians no
part is more discreditable than that which
relates to our treatment of the Seminoles,
resulting in a cruel and costly war and the
final expulsion of the Indians from their an
cestral homes, lands and hunting grounds
in Florida. The Seminoles were an offshoot
or separating faction from the great and
powerful confederacy of Greek Indians, who
formerly inhabited the present States of
Georgia and Alabama. They called them
selves Muskogees but by the English were
called Creeks. from the numerous small
streams which flowed through their country
About the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
tury portion OF the Greeks Withdrew from
the rest and settled on the extreme OUT
part of Florida. The name they bore for
many years thereafter was stisemole, or
wild men," In time this term was cor
rupted to Simelole, SimenOle and, finally to
Seminole. Eventually they spread all over
Florida and had numerous settlements and
villages. A regular army officer, in report
to the secretary of war, in 1872, said: This
nation was, before the destruction of their
settlements in 1872. numerous, proud and
wealthy. possessing great numbers of cat
tie horses and slaves. They are honest,
speak the truth and are attached 10 the Brit
ish and Americans" OF course, il was in
evitable that after the United States ac-
qured Florida there would be trouble with
these Indians. After much friction the trou-
BILE finally eliminated I'm the Seminole or
Florida war. In fact. there were two wars
the first. in 1877, lasting abogt year and
the second one beginning in 1885 and lasting
seven years. This war cost the United
States many valuable lives and $40 900 600 It
took about nine thousand United States
troops to subiugate the Indians. The latter
were led by Osceoia, one of the ablest and
bravest Indian chiefs of whorn we have any
account He was finally captured through
treachery, sent 70 Charleston, $. c.. and con-
fined in Fort Moultrie, where he died Jan.

INVESTIGATING THEMSELVES.

The President of the Council continues to
make observations regarding the farce of
an investigation which he said that body
will make in relation to the purchase of
the park lands 1t is probable that Mr.. Ma
honey meant well, but he seems not to
understand the position which he and the
body over which he presides are in regard
ing any investigation that they may at
tempt The Journal has called attention to
it before While it is not probable that its
members had any share of any of the profits
of the transaction. the members of the
Council who pushed the ordinance providing
for the purchase of the lands without time
for consideration are responsible, and they
will be investigating themselves. The ordi-
nance was prepared by officers representing
the mayor. 1t was a very important meas
ure, which should have been presented and
made the subject of inquiry. In fact, at that
time so much had been said regarding the
exorbitant prices reported to have been
agreed upon for the lands that members of
the Council must have heard of it, and if
qualified for the positions they hold they
must have known that land in that locality
was not worth $500 or $3.50 an acre. At any
rate, a matter involving an expenditure of
$4,000 should have been presented at one
regular meeting and final action should not
have been taken until a week or two weeks
later. Instead of such deliberate action the
ordinance was presented one night and
passed at a special meeting held the next
evening. 1t is not probable that one half
the members had read the ordinance. Fur
thermore the haste in disposing of the mat
ter is evidence that those in the Council or
those outside manipulating it did not dare
to face the publicity which week or two
weeks would have given There is no otner
explanation of their unreasonable haste.
Certain it is that men who were getting
twice the value of their lands would not
back out. 1t is repeated, the whole cause
os the hasty action of, the Council on the
ordinance is that If the public had been ap-
prised of the fraud imposed upon the city,
there would have been an outcry which
might have interrupted the deal. For this
haste, every member of the Council deserves
