Indian Warfare in Minnesota.

The Indian outbreak in Minnesota does not
at present appear to be of a nature to lead
to Widespread troubles. whatever may be
the difficulties encountered in subduing the
Indians who are now on the war path. TIE
affair receives anxious attention, OF course
from the fact that il has already resulted in
tloodshed. at least four of the troops hay
ing been killed and others wounded. The
comparative scarcity of details concerning
the fighting is attributable to the remote
ress of the scene. The island on which the
collision between the troops and the In
Gians took place is in reality on the from
tier. 1t is apparently with great difficulty
that the correspondents are able to reach
the scene and 10 send back the results of
their observations. There Is as yet TO con-
hrmation or denial of the rumor that the
entire force originally sent against the In
dians has been massacred. Such reports
are often built upon small foundations
and there is no material reason thus far
to apprehend that such a disaster has in
reality occurred.
As q rule. the Chippewa Indians are

time. and has been fretting under the gov
ernment's delays in adjusting its affairs.
The complaint Is based on two grounds:
First. that the Indians have been removed
from their old reservation to new ground,
contrary TO their desires; second that they
have been cheated by the white men in the
matter of cutting timber. The laws gov
erning the timber cutting in that region
restrict the white men. well as the In
dians to the fallen trees: but the former il
is charged. take standing timber despite
the regulation, " hiIs the Indians are held
strictly to observance of the law What
ever may be the truth In respect To these
charges. il Is plain that the Pillagars as
this tribe is called. have for some time felt
unfriendly toward the white men. and
their animosity has recently been in
creased by The arrest of certain of the

Thus. as in the case of most Indian upris-
ilgs. the break comes after series of dis
agreements. and the people of the east are
startled because they have not heard of
the negotiations between agents and In
dians and have not shared the fears of the
neighboring settlers. An obvious blunder
seems to have been made in sending only
one company Of soliiers against the Pill

Raise the Flag Over Havana.

The intelligence contained In yesterday 5
Star that American occupancy of Cuba is
to be FASTENED is welcome, 1t is the proper
step to be taken. Not only should our
troops in good numbers be sent, but some
of our ships also. The United States
should be master of the situation afioat
and ashore. The flag should go up at
Havana without delay. and American au-
thority be asserted there. both with respect
to order and the relief of the people.
The present situation is unnatural and
tends to Generalization. The Cubans do
not understand II. and probably the rank
and file of the Spaniards do not. The
SPANISH soldiers, it is safe to say, are
anxious to leave. There is nothing for
them in Cuba-not even prospect of get
ting the back pay that is due them Once
more at home they might hope to receive
at least part of that, and would certainly
otherwise be very much better off The
Cubans are hungry, uneasy, at a disadvan-
tage, and anxious not only to see their
enemies depart, but their friends come In
ard take hold. The great majority of
them well understand that American &C
cupation of the island means pacifcation
and a restoration of good times. not to
mention the fact that the sooner pacifca-
tion takes place and conferences can be
called and held the sooner will the ques-
ton of future government for Cuba be
settled
The high officials in Havana are, OF
course. acting under orders from Madrid,
and are probably glad to do so. There are
some rich pickings of one kind or another.
and this is the last chance. A return to
Spain means to them a return to their sal
aries. and no outside means of personal
enrichment. Spain is poor, and for years
is likely to remain so.
General Blanco expressed himself at one
time as eager for fight. He was shaking
his fist at every foot of the American
South Atlantic coast line. He is strongly
fortified in Havana, and could make cap
ture OF the city by force bloody and ex-
pensive. II is hardly to be supposed, how
ever, that he is wishing for or calculating
on reopening of hostilities. Expensive
as it might be. the United States. If neces-
sary, would take the city if two Spaniards
for every one now there were rushed to
its defense.
But the thing to do is to strike ''manana"
from the Spanish vocabulary in Cuba, and
write now with capital n, in its place.

volved no limitations upon his personal
conduct, even though he might be legislat-
ing upon subjects directly and vitality af-
fecting the commodities in which he dealt.
Therefore 1t is not surprising to note now
the frequency with which he bought and
sold shares. But one question at issue is
whether he was right in transacting this
business through the cashier of the Peo-
pies Bank. the institution favored with the
state funds. the state law expressly pro-
hibiting cashiers of banks from dealing in
stocks for themselves or other people.
This same bank appears in the case in a
still more interesting connection. The state
treasurer wrote to its president announc-
ing the forthcoming deposit there of $780,
600 of state funds, making supposed bal
ance for the state of 100000, conditioned
upon a loan of 100000 to the son of Sena-
tor Quay. This transaction on it's face and
unexpl lined is very suggestive of the in
direct use of the state funds in private
business. The money was advanced to
young Mr. Quay, as thus arranged, on a
cali loan, that is, loan maturing at the
pleasure of the creditor bank, which was
not paid until after the bank had gone into
the hands of a receiver after the failure
several months ago. accompanied by the
suicide of the cashier.
These preliminary statements by the
prosecution indicate that Pennsylvania Is
about to be treated to one of the sharpest
sensations in it's history. 1t is to be hoped
that its result. of whatever nature, will
tend to elevate the morals of latter-day
politics and to insure cleaner governmental
methods.

and this fact has been held by some GRIM
inologists to explain in large measure the
extremely high murder rate, which is larger
than that of all the rest of Europe put to-
gether. At one time 1t was nearly twenty
times that of England. The quick-tempered
people of the lower classes may not be ed
ucated out of their disregard for life and
their love for the knife but they may be
taught that the knife sometimes cuts the
holder well as the victim, and to this end
an effort is to be made to secure a law
making it a penal offense for any person
to carry one of the characteristic Italian
knives with which, in nearly every case on
record, murder Is committed in that coun-
try. This legislation may greatly arouse
the resentment Of the people, but thus far
the movement has smoothly progressed and
the cooperation of the more Intelligent
workingmen has been largely secured
through their respective trade organiza-
tions One cause for the tremendous crime
rate-which in 1897 demanded death by
the knife every two hours each day of the
year-is considered by some authorities to
spring from the deplorable condition of the
peasantry. Starvation is their common lot
and their scant fare and unwholesome sur
roundings combine to produce a disease
known as "pelagra,'' one symptom of
which is frequently insanity. The step from
mental arrangement to crime is easy. This
circumstance, added to the normal temper
ament of the lower orders, the thirst for
ievenge, the quickly wounded pride. the
false conception of honor, the disregard for
human life. leads surely to the depopu-
lating murder rate which has now attracted
the serious attention of the leaders of the
nation. The best wishes of all civilization
go with this movement, which is designed
to cure one of the worlds most abominable
evils.

The Question to Be Answered.
From the Boston Journal


The question to be answered at the polls
in November is what kind Of a Congress
we are to have to deal with the currency
and with the grave problems created by
the war. Shall it be a republican Congress
or a Bryanite Congress? That is the ques-
ton. Let any business man sit down with
himself few minutes and inquire what
would be the effect upon business and cred
II and the prosperity of the country if a
Congress dominated by Organism We're to
be chosen next November, and he will get
some idea what the size of the question
really Is If. after that he has any pa
tience with the efforts which are being
made to becloud the Significance of the
contest, and to introduce irrelevant and
confusing issues, we have low opinion
of his ssgacity.

A Friendly Tip to the Democrats.
From the Philadeiphia Times.

1t must be evident even to the most casual
democratic observer that free silver and
cheap money can't command the confidence
of the American people. The democrats
lost one national contest on the issue when
cheap money had almost every possible
great mass of our people who were strug-
Cling under business depression, want of
employment and debt, and we can't con-
ceive of another national battle in which
the issue OF cheap money could be as strong
1t was in 1895. The free silver madness
has run its course, and the sooner the DEM
ocrats of state and nation look the fact
in the face, the sooner will there be some
reasonable prospect of a hopeful demo-
cratic party.

Reform,

Men have lately felt a series Of severe
commercial shocks.
But hard times cannot linger now, they
say;
And the financers who fret US by manipu-
lating stocks,
1t is hoped, have seen the error of their
way
The era of prosperity we've waited for so
long,
Is here, it's generally understood;
So the factory may bustle and the mill may
hum it's song:
Hereafter we are going to be good.
Grim war has hushed it's clamor. Human
strife at last has ceased
We've put away the guns that fiercely
spoke.
We had to whip the Spaniards But the
prisoners we released,
And we paid their passage home If they
were broke.
So welcome, reverend gentlemen. Whate' er
you have to teach
Will surely be respected as 1t should.
We had formed the high ambition which
you strive to help US reach;
Hereafter we are going to be good

HOnOlulu's Future.

Seth Low, Practical RefOrmer.

The speech of Seth Low at the Inaugural
ton of the Roosevelt campaign in New
York last night was a striking feature of
meeting Illuminated by some admirable
deliverances. Neither General Woodford
nor Colonel Roosevelt himself spoke with
greater force, nor Joseph b. Choate, whose
wit is famous and of the first quality, with
quip anecdote more felicitously to the
point. The speech was brief, but it covered
every question of interest to voters in this
years campaign.
Mr.. Lows position is logical and well
taken it makes one regret afresh the mis-
take Of last year which kept him out of the
mayors chair of Greater New York. His
case and that of Colonel Roosevelt were
not, it is true, exactly alike. but they were
sufficiently alike to have made the decision
reached with regard to the latter applicable
also to the former.
1t has required courage of Mr. Low to
take this stand, for it is no less a confess
sion of error than an exercise of wisdom.
1t shows him to be a growing and, basical-
ly, practical man. He can profit by
mistake. His desire is for good govern
ment. and he is willing to cooperate prop
erly TO obtain it He is not incrusted in
thickness of vanity and assertion He
makes an allowance for some sense in
others.
Mr.. Low is comparatively a young man.
and we may expect to see him in high pub
lie office before a great while His posi-
tion as an educator is very high and his
services very important, but the field Of
politics is larger, and his general equip
ment for it excellent. Let us hope, there
fore, that for excellent a man fortune
| may reopen the way in the near future for
| full exercise of conspicuous gifts for po-
Etical business and leadership.

MaryIand's Shame.

Once more Maryland has been dsgraced
by a lynching, this time at the state cap
ita and under circumstances leaving no eX-
cuse whatever for the viola ton of the law.
The governor is reported as saying that he
will do all in his power to discover and
punish the persons who participated in the
affair. 1t is to be hoped that he will sue
ceed, for these mob murders have been fre-
quent in, Maryland of late. The Charles
county lyncfings were in measure to be
excused by reason. of the comparative iso-
lation of the region in which they occurred.
the poverty Of the county and the atrocity
OF some of the crimes preceding them. But
this Annapolis affair is in no wise to be
tolerated. There was no question that the
laws orderly processes would have COM
passed the mans punishment according to
right standards if permitted to take their
course. His identification was complete,
the evidence of his guilt was perfect and
the chances of his escape from the grip Of
justice were insignificant. Nor was there
any prospect of dilatory treatment of his
case. The mob was actuated simply by a
spirit of unreasoning revenge, a thirst for
blood. 1t matters not as to their method Of
Gispcsing of the prisoner 1t does matter,
however, to the ease with which they
got hold of Lin. Are the jails of Maryland
SO insecure, the discipline in them SO lax
that any crowd of men can at any time OBJ
tain possession of the person of a prisoner?
If these lyrchers and others who have pre-
ceded them in the state could get their viz
tins without any difficulty, why could not
the friends OF criminals thus confined be
equally successful in effectinS a liberation?
II vii. never do for this f1ourishing state to
obtain the record of having this sort OF
penal Institutions whether they be located
in the far ends of the peninsula or in the
tlhckly settled and wealthy districts. Dis
reT.ute Of this kind discourages immigra ton
and scares away profitable settlement. The
state not look forward to the growth
which is its natural prospect if it toIerates
by an Indifferent public sentiment this con-
d'ti0E of legal chaos. Annapolis now has
an opportunity to set an example for the
resi- of the state by putting the stamp Of
effective disapproval this crime.

There is talk in legal circles about
the necessity of appointing or rather
creating an additional circuit iudg-
ship. The lawyers complain that it
is almost impossible for the two cir
cult judges in Honolulu to keep up
with the work, and that some cases
have been hanging on for six or sew
en- months. This is no disparagement
of the Circuit Judges, for they really
overwufk themselves in order to do
their duty, but it is simply that they
cannot get through the business how
ever hard they may work. An addi-
tional Circuit Judge, with full powers,
might hear in chambers while two
were on term work, and vice versa.

upon in the report of the Chief JUS
