The Fetch Diamond.

The South African native, il 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 70 their hands
by the good old-fasioned method of
stealing them from the Kimberley
mines years ago, before the present
minute watch against gem-thieying
was systematiled. Misunderstanding
ut present Is practically impossible
Under the peculiar methods of its pre-
vention. Before the rigid examina-
tions of workmen and visitors began
to he enforced, native laborers often
were under II secret compact with
their tribal rulers not to come lack
from the mines without n gool.sized
stolen diamond for the chiefs use:
hence, great many superb gems are

kafhr headman's establishment.
Within few years enterprising trad
ers have made special expeditions and
palayers for diamonds so 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, u
small company working on this line of
acquisition is credited with having
obtained within four months not less
than two hundred thousand dol ass
worth of diamonds. One agent sue
ceeded i'll buying OF a chief six stones
of more than two hundred Larats each.

PROGRESSIVE REDSKINS.
Remarkable step In "a New Era OF In
dian civilization.

Remarkable step In New Era OF In.
dian Civilization.
The Iowa tribe Of Indians living in
Kansas aud Nebraska have just sent
10 Congress n 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, 10
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 n remarkable step forward
and probably marks the beginning Of
new era in Indian civilization. The
Iowas are 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 cognlzant 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 aud 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 increment
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 a seperate bank
account; and that hispro rata share of
the interest shall he spent by the gov
eminent for his individual benefit in
stead of for the benefit of the tribe as
q mass.
II is hoped that the example set by
the Iowns will be followed by other
citizen Indians who hear of it, or who
witness it's 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 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. -

Tho Co rect Policy.

ED, INDEPENDENTS following
declaration from a recent Number of
your paper suits every Democrat in
the State, as it should every sincere
friend of silver and every person
friendly to an honest and decent
State Government. You say:
In State affairs it will advocate a
fusion of the forces favorable 20 the
free courage of silver, in the Fall
car"peign. But if that fusion be not
made it will follow the flag of the
Democratic party wherever 1t may
wave and go down with it in defeat
or rejoice with it in victory.
In 1896 nearly six millions of per-
Sons voted for Bryan and silver us
Democrats, while perhaps twice that
number of thousands so voted as
members of the Silver party. Mr..
Bryan is the logical candidate, and
will be nominated by reclamation by
the Democratic National Convention
in 1900. Is it reasonable to suppose
that the party which represents %
per cent Of the silver strength Of the
county is going to abandon It's or
gahization in Nevada by failing to
run at least sufficient portion of
State ticket to avoid abandonment of
organization under the australian
ballot law? There is certainly not q
Democrat, worthy OF the name, who
viii consent to such cowardly sur
re 1der, while nearly all of them are
willing to make such arrangements
as will give the great Silver party of
the Nation fair and equitable rep
resentat'oD upon fusion ticket with
the Silver party of NevaCa. This
could easily be accomplished with
platforms which need not clash 80 as
to mar 5he harmony of the cornb:na-
lion.
One thing is certain. There will be
a Democratic ticket run in the State
this year, whether upon it's "own
hook" or in concert with the other or
gaDized silver element in the State.
The Democrats will not be unreas-
enable. They will be content with
less than reasonable representation
on the ticket. They will support
any person for Senator and Repre-.
sentative who can be relied upon
upon the silver question and who will
not betray their constituents by vot.
ing for such measures, go disastrous
to the interests of Nevada as the
Dingley bill.
There is no question but yonr first
proposition in the paragraph I have
quoted can be successfully carried
out and / am equally confident that

dorsed by 95 per cent 1T the honest
and sincere Silver men in the State.

New Years Sermon for Girls.


J. am sure you never mean to be in
tentlonalIy unkind to mother" but
You are someti mes, my dear girl, a
little bit thoughtless of her comfort.
There are many things you only can
do which will be a help to her. and
kindness coming from her girl will
surely be appreciated.
No one-except God--loves you as
she does. You may think little of it
now. but it your life is spared the day
will come when mothers love will
seem precious thing.
There are sure to be many things
in your home which will save her
steps and care. The trouble is you
do not think, and many mothers are
more than willing to take every bur
den upon themselves and spare their
fair young glrls.
You can help her in hundred lit
tie ways which will be very grateful
to her. If you are i'll, your first
thought is, "t want MOTHER" should
she chance to be away, it is send for
mother" and when she comes how
quickly the tangles straighten them
selves; no hand touches aching head
so gently; she knows just what to do
and does it all so quietly.
1t makes no difference how repul-
sive the hot fevered face might be to
her it is her fair, sweet girl. How
gentle and patient she is through it
all, and when the fever has burned it.
self out, and the long weary days Of
convalescence have to be borne, and
you are weak and feel irritable, moth
ers patience seems amending.
Though worn with days and nights of
weary watching and serving, she
gives no sign of WEAKNESS, makes 10
complaint, and with no thought of
self, ouly thanks God You are spared
to her.
Remember it alI-now that you are
well and strong again, thanks to her
tender nursing, and prize her while
she is with You. Not only love her
but tell her 80, and above all remem-
Der to give her the little ate lions,
SO small in themselves, which will
help smooth the lines away that time
is now tracing on her face.
Ny dear girl, though you do not
think of it now, the day may come
when your call for @motherl" will re-
main unanswered. Few days so sad
as that one will come to you in life.
You may cover her casket with the
rarest flowers, but the memory Of the
little bunch Of violets you carried
home to her one spring day will give
you far more comfort than the wealth
OF hot.house flowers when she is be-
YONG the need ofjtham.
Those viii be dark days for you.
She will lie peacefully there-her
h snds, which never spared themselves
from the most mental service for You,
will be folded forever and when you
lay upon them your own warm hande
which she has held so many times, the
icy Chill will reach your heart. ..
You will remember then how soft
and cool they seemed when the fever
buroed In your veins, you may call
"mother!' IN tones Of anguish, and
