Each race and peoples follow the custom
of their fathers, and not to obey a moral
or scriptural law. for mourning habill-
ments or dress is not prescribed by any
he observance of the custom is a matter
of taste, there being nothing obligatory
about it.
The cruelty of the custom is apparent
when families in straitened circum-
stances deny themselves the comforts, if
not the necessaries of life, to exhibit to
the world that they mourn for lost
one, while really the great world knows
not for whom they are mourning, and
perhaps cares less. Mrs. Ingersoll and
her daughter are, doubtless, struggling
with an untold grief which to them. alone,
is sacred. They care not to carry their
broken hearts upon their sleeves, or to
exhibit them to the world in a setting of
black. The world may criticise, the
world may condemn them, but their
sorely bereaved hearts. doubtless, find
consolation in the thought that solace
will come 10 them when the cloud which
death leaves upon those who love, shall
pass away.
This matter of wearing mourning cos
tunes may be dismissed in few words

THE YAQU/ UPRISING.

If the dispatches have not been colored
ernment has stalwart job on its hands
in quelling the rebellion in the Yaqui
valley. The Indians are not numerous,
but they are fighters from child to man,
and have great confidence in their ability
to whip any number of MeXicans that
may be sent against them. They are a
large, strong, we'll formed people, active
and courageous. The last time they
measured their strength with Mexicans,
the latter were forced to buy them off,
which cost them no little sum. This
money, which amounted to 5000 to each
Yaqui, has been saved and the tribe will
go we'll prepared in the uprising.
The Indians declare they will recover
all their lost territory, and will kill any
intruder found within the limits of their
old reservation. They have rested two
years since their last fight with their old
enemy, and, in the meantime, they have
been busy providing themselves with i'm
proved firearms with which to meet the
Mexicans. 1t is said they have already
killed several ranchmen and miners, and
those now in the Yaqui valley are pre-
pairing to leave.
The scene of the uprising is in the
province of Chihuahua, about 100 miles
south of Ell Paso, Texas. The section in
cludes several silver mining properties,
some of which are in the hands of Amer
lean operators. 1t is quite possible this
government may be compelled to take
cognizance of their depredations upon
American miners. If it does the Yaouis

they may take American lives. 1t is
quite possible, however, they may again
be bought off by the Mexicans, and that
may be what they are playing for.

Iowa has small-siZed revolt on her
hands. 1t is not a political revolt or the
result of a labor strike. This time the
trouble is at her Denitentiary, and is
caused by cutting down her convicts sup
ply Of tobacco The inmates of the peni-
Tertiary have become sulen and refrac-
tory, and several hundred of them refuse
to work. Wisconsin and Kansas have
had the same trouble with the inmates of
their state prisons. They patched it up,
however, by yielding up more tobacco.
The Iowa authorities may follow suit
and allay the trouble. If so the
end will soon be in sight. Several medical
authorities who have been interviewed
upon the subject, seem to agree that to-
bacco in moderate quantities does no
harm, that it has soothing effect and
makes prisoners, as we'll as soldiers more

All this talk about Cuba being annexed
to the United States is premature. 1t
