nisled by fine sophistries.

Sometimes people are inclined to feel
hard toward the publishers of certain
books which consume their time with
out giving any adequate return. But
if we only knew something of the enor-
nous number of potential books which
never get printed we should probably
be willing to forgive the publishers
unless our own was one of those sup
pressed. They say that there We're
100000 books refused last year by the
publishers of America. One hundred
thousand hearts more or less sickened,
and the same number of purses more
or less lightened. 1t is estimated that
the people who wrote these books
would have earned $12O,0OO,OOO in the
year if they had been working at the
business or motorneer or street car
conductor. But of course they couldn't
all have done that And many of them
couldn't do anything. On the other
hand, think of the amount of money
they saved by not having their books
printed! Five hundred millions of dol
lars at the least.

in the First Iowa Volunteers during
the Civil War, and for gallant and

only officer killed, was a brave veteran
of two wars and would have retired by

lniian Wars in the Past.

The uprising of the Pillager Indians
at Leech Lake, Minnesota, and the APP
parently short lived war brought about
by their action. brings to mind pre-
vious Indian wars, and it will be some
what surprising to most people to learn
that these wars have been 20 in mum
Der, have cost over $100.000,O00. and
have called for the sacrifice of thou
sands of soldiers during the past two.
thirds of a century. OF course, there
are no records or statistics to show the
struggle of the whites with the Indians
on this continent, or even in the open
ing years of this century. Since the
discovery of the continent the oppres-
sion and deceit of the settlers and the
treachery of the Indians have caused
warfare almost continual. Too often
the fault has been with the white race,
and the treatment of the subdued
aboldginees by our government has not
always been of brotherly and Chris
tlan-like nature.
III the early days of the West, when
Uncle Sans soldiers had not yet
learned to fight the Indian and meet
him at his own game of trickery, the
loss of life among the troops sent out
to fight the red men was very large.
In the war with the Cheyennes and the
ArIapahoes in 1865, several hundra ed
soldiers lost their Hives, while the
records show that but 20 Indians were
killed. The war cost the government
$40 O0O, 900, or s2,OO0,0O for every Indian
killed in the conflict. Our troops soon
learned to meet the savage at his own
game, to give him trick for trick, and
in the later wars the loss was not SO
heavy. but nevertheless an authority
estimates that for every Indian killed
in the Indian wars of the country 10
white men have laid down their lives.
1t is impossible to get any accurate
data back of 1880. The different Indian
wars during the past two thirds of a
century, their dates, and their cost to
the government, may be listed as fol-
lows:

1t is not surprising to learn that Adj
miral Cervera is opening the eyes Of
his fellow-citizens to the true current
of American intents and purposes. In
his letter to the people of Ferrol, ac-
cepting their nomination of him as
senator in the Cortes, he writes can
didly of the kindness shown him and
his officers and men at Annapolis and
ait Portsmouth. He tells his constitu-
ents that in many ways Spain can
shape her course in imitation OF the
United States. He advises them to
forget the war and renew the friend
ship of the past.

A recent dispatch from New Orleans
suffrage roll under the new election
law had been completed and contained
the names of about $4,000 voters, only
six OF that number being colored citi-
zens. Possibly the proportion of col
ored voters who will be allowed to
register in some other parts of the
state may be larger; but it is generally
conceded that about 80 per cent of the
colored citizens of Louisiana will be
disfranchised by the new registration
law of Louisiana. On the other hand,
the white citizens of Louisiana are
practically without restrictions of any
sort on their votes. White inmates of
the almshouses near New Orleans, for
example. have been put on the regis
tration rolls without even an applica
ton on their part. it is said Many
colored citizens who are property own
ers and who pay taxes are, on the other
hand. disbarred from voting. The
generally acknowledged aim of the
Louisiana law is to prevent colored
men from voting. There is no sweep
ing test of illiteracy, no absolute prop
erty test and no other test of any i'm
portance except that of African de-
scent.

The speech of Hon. Chauncey M.
Depew at Chicago this week is one
worthy Of note. No one could picture
better the magic Transformation from
uncertainty and despair in 1896 to the
tremendous energy of prosperity at
present. Then capital was hiding,
afraid of investment in anything, ac-
tually leaving the country to preserve
it's identity in the event of Popocratic
success. Now it is abroad in the land
seeking and finding occupation that
gives employment to labor and brings
advantage to the whole people. This
change has been wrought by the
demonstration that the people are
worthy of confidence-thatt they cannot
be misled by fine sophistries.

. the estimate of Cuha,s

If the estimate Of Cuba's present
population made by the American
commission at Havana is anywhere
near the mark, the destruction caused
by Spanish barbarity during the past
three years of rebellion has been great
er than was supposed. Just before the
rebellion began the Cuban population
numbered 100000. This is put at less
than 100000 now. There has been q
shrinkage in inhabitants of $4,000 in
four years. Before the rebellion the
Cuban population steadily and rapidly
increased. Weylerism was more de-
structive than anybody in the United
States or Cuba imagined. 1t will take
many years of good government in
Cuba to repair the ravages which
Spanish savagry wrought.
