A Wintry Blast.

Mr. William Winter has long been
known as the jeremiah OF the New York
drama, and no new production in that city
is quite complete without his lachrymose
comments. Despite the argument that old
customs should be kept up, it has seemed
to many people that it would be good
thing if Mr.. Winter could be suppressed.
They argue that although, as the old lady
said even an old ache may be company
II II stays by one long enough, there are
SO many new aches that it is unnecessary
to increase life's trials by the continued
existence of Mr. Winter.
But Mr. Winter has branched eff in a
new direction this season. and his depart
ure from familiar and worn-out fields
leads one to consider seriously the idea of
abolishing him altogether. In some way or
other he eontrived to break into the COM
mencement exercises of the Staten Island
Academy, and deliver an address to the
graduates. This approaches situation
which the Gerry Society should investigate.
The landscape of sunny youth should not
be adorned with a weeping William in the
foreground.
We have all been to these commencement
exercises in our time. and most of us
have been on one momentous occasion
among the actors in the drama. We have
seen callow youths and dainty girls march
ing up one by one, with faces full Of SOL
emn joy. to receive their blue-ribboned
sheepskins. We have listened to the sound
ing rhetoric OF the orator. and the dainty
- a.
We have been engulfed in the mass OF
white muslin gowns, and ribbons. and
flowers, when the class left the stage and
received the congratulations Of proud and
happy friends We have seen the SNUG and
smiling orator OF the day-sometimes a
member of the State Legislature some
times a noted lawyer or clergyman. occa-
sionally a man of national prominence
surrounded by the faculty in holiday
gars. in which they seemed somehow quite
different from the humdrum, workaday
men and women who have pushede and
pulled lot of refractory boys and girls
through the campaigns of Caesar and the
mazes of Euclid, often by much the same
tactics used by a farmer in driving a flock
of eccentric sheep. But we have never seen
thin and watery dramatic critic spreading
fog around him on such an occasion.
Mr.. Winter began his address rather in
the conventional manner. either with the
intention to be as cheerful as possible, or
for the purpose Of enhancing the gloom Of
the remaining ninety-nine- one -hundredths
of the speech. He talked of flowers. and
birds. and sunshine. and laughter. But his
nature was too strong for him, and after
few sentences he relapsed into Cimmer-
ian gloom. He said:
But wherever there is sunshine there is also
shadow, and. unhappiiy, experience has shown
that the loveliness is not permanent and that
the glory docs not endure. Youth enters into life
with great joy. but, the years drift away and
manhood and womanhood follow upon youth, the
ardor of the spirit is slowly subdued. and the
fire Of Joy is gradually quenched This is the
standing grievance Of mankind. We all wish
for happiness. and all think that the happi-
ness which marks the beginning Of life ought to

When Mr.. Jonas Howard, esteemed citizen
of Jacksonville. Ind, went to Washington from
his Congressional district several years ago he
left behind him devoted and atfectionate body
of constituents in town and county, who fancied
that great personal benefits would come to them
through Mr.. Howard's powerful presence in the
halls of national wisdom. One of these rural ad-
herents- a small farmer, with momentous
political design on his mind. followed Mr.. How

mysterious object. He returned in about FIVE

over the counter: "what would you like,

to hear the woman reply: ''You shut up; don't
you talk ito me! can ask for what want, and
l don't want any impotence from clerks!' A
few rebuds from such creatures are quite enough
to cool the ardor Of any shopgirl.

Robert Owen. q lawyer and Newspaper
man Of Nuscpses. Indian Territory. a
member Of the Cherokee Tribe, and Of par
tial Indian blood. Is at the Shoreham. He
is In the city on business before the In
terror Department. He detailed something
of the work of the Dawes Commission in
the Territory In conversation last night:
"The Commission has had a land Office in
operation now three months and 1t has
made good beginning on the allotment of
the lands Of the Territory to the Indians In
severalty' under the recent act Of Congress.
The first tribe taken UP was the Creeks
and. already 1000 allotments have been
made There are 10000 to be made in the
entire Territory and 30. .000. 900 acres to be
divided. The Indians will get all the way
from 80 acres each to $40 acres each, ac-
cording to the wealth of the different
tribes. The entire allotment would require
eight years or more according to the pres
ent rate. but the Commission will be able
to proceed much more rapidly as soon as
it Is more familiar with its work" Mr..
Owen said Of the feeling. OF the Indians
regarding the new order of things: They
are for the most part bitterly opposed to
1t. The wise men of the tribes see in the
distribution Of the land the beginning Of
the emu Oh the ulSlntegratfOn OF the nve
tribes. and their ownership of the land.
The Indian regards the land as a gift
from God not to be distributed and not to
be bartered or given away. When a tribe
holds its land as whole this cannot be
done and its property is safe. Under the
new system. although there is at present
in the law a provision that the Indians
may not sell their individual lands, there
will soon be a modification, without a
doubt, which will allow them to dispose
OF them as they see fit Then the white
men will come In and get possession of
everything as they usually do. always do,
as soon as the bars are let down. The
lands are magnificently rich and each In
dian owns a small fortune under the new
plan. but they will nearly all be induced to
sell out. and for very small prices. by the
persuasive whites. The new law was in fact
dictated by the whites, and their greed
for the land was at the bottom Of IL. u
will be only few years now. as sure as
fate. before the Indians will be driven out
of the Territory. The full -blooded Indians
realize this even more than the half
breeds. perhaps. or at least the thought OF
1t appeals TO their peculiar natures more.
They are as a race lovers Of isolation.
There is a movement on foot now among
the full bloods to emigrate as a body to
Mexico. l believe this will be done and
that 5000 Of them will go before many

1t is rather refreshing to observe that
Captain Dreyfus is too clever to fall into
the restored uniform trap set for him. He
positively declines to appear as an omcsr
of the French army until he has been re-
habilitated in as public manner as he
was degraded. 1t was a neat little trick
on the part of the French war authorities
to get him to reassume his old rank and
insignia without formality. They would
have said that that closed the incident.
But their victim, happily. is not fool.

pointed. Lord Beaconhield. in his novel Of "Con-

that Youth Is blunder. Manhood struggle.
Age q regret
This must have fallen upon the tremu-
lous gayety OF that assembly Of young folk
as a cistern. full of water on a contented
cat summing itself beneath. 1t is painful to
think Of their probable emotions. They
may have hoped that Mr.. Winter was going
to show them a way in which all this could
be proven false. But he did not He went
on to say that the world is hard and sell
fish, and devoted to the almighty dollar.
He told those innocents that they could not
hope to retain their ideals. and must be pre-
pared for the worst: that religion was often
a masquerade. the worlds affairs usually
conducted by scheming hypocrites. and the
nervous system OF the American people
nearly shattered. He told them not to
be "gregarious and common" and to keep
themselves from contact with sordid and
commonplace people and the affairs OF the
world. He uttered this aphorism. among
others:
Wisdom, in the conduct of life. it seems to
me, prescribes the individuals conscientious care
of himself rather than an ofticious aitruisnl.
That is pleasant preparation for useful
work! What sort of young people will
these be IL they follow Mr.. Winters dis
interested advice? And how did the audi
ence, the fathers and mothers and uncles
and aunts and future employers OF
the students. feel when they were told
that they were scheming hypocrites and
their religion a sham?
If the patrons of Mr.. Winter like his
work so much that they are willing to
allow him to spread his pessimism around
loose for their public to read. that is their
affair, but in the name OF Humanity, WIN
a large H. 1t is time to make a protest
against extending his sphere of influence.
