INDIAN SCHOOL TEACHERS.
The Institute at Los Angeles
Brought to a Close.

LOS ANGELES, July 25-The In
dian school teachers institute was
brought to close this morning and
many of the delegates left this after
noon for their various homes.
The superintendent section held a
special session at 9 a. M and elected
Major r. r. Pratt. Superintendent of
the Carlisle school, permanent Chair
man of the section. Superintendent
Allen of Albuquerque was chosen to
serve as Secretary.
The following resolution was passed:
Whereas, the local prejudice on the
part of the whites against the Indians
in the vicinity of every tribe and res
ervation is such as to make attendance
of the Indian youth in the public
schools there impracticable; and,
Whereas, the ignorant prejudice and
whimsical nature of the parents also
initiate against such attendance; and.
Whereas, there is no prejudice pre-
venting attendance of Indian youth in
such public schools as are remote from
the tribe and reservations; therefore,
be it
Resolved. That it is the duty of the
Government to establish Indian schools
in we'll populated and suitable districts,
as remote. from the tribe as possible,
and it is hereby suggested that ten such
schools be tentatively established at
once each with a capacity of caring
for about 800 pupils at the school, and
with the distinct understanding that
each school shall carry 300 additional
pupils, placed out in families where
they can earn their own support"

NEW YORK, July 25.-James H.
Eckles, ex-Comptroller of the Currency,
says in an interview printed to-day:
Il think it more than likely that the
Senate Finance Committee will agree
on something in the way of monetary
legislation, though it will be far from
radical. When it comes to a finality it
may be nothing more than a half
hearted declaration for the mainte-
nance of the two metals at parity, the
interchangeability of greenbacks for
gold and vice versa and the enlarge
ment of bank note circulation based on
bonds. The President thus far has had
his party we'll in hand, and if he takes
hold in dead earnest he ought to be
able to get something of real value on
the subject out of the committee.
There is, however. danger of a feel,
ing prevailing that the money problem
has already solved itself and nothing
further is needed. Such course would
be a serious mistake. and one the Ad-
ministration would ultimately suffer
from.
1T is unfortunate for the country
that the Democratic party is in such an
utterly demoralized condition. This con-
dltion has made the Republican leaders
indifferent to much public sentiment
that would have proved effective, and
both preventing new and remedying old
wrongs, if the opposition had leader
ship which commanded public conf
dence and following made up less Of
the elements of discomfort The
strength of the Republican party to-day
is very largely, if not wholly, in the
weakness of Democrats. Such a con-
dition of affairs cannot but be bad for
public good. 1t places the voter in the
embarrassing position of being compell-
ed to make a choice between a party
made up wholly of radicals promising
to do only the things which would dis
turb the c9sstrys prosperity and one
containing many conservatives, but led
wholly by political leaders, who con-
slider the advancement of party the
first essential in the discharge of pub
lie duty.
"The Republican party, with the ad-
vantage possessed by it. ought to give
the country thoroughly sound and
complete monetary system. 1t ought to
advance the civil service 1t ought to
make impossible the continuance on the
part of the Democrats of the leaoer-
ship which has characterized that
party since 1896. That there has been
no financial legislation, that the civil
service system has been seriously in
jured and that the opposition still
clfngs to Mr. Bryan. argues that the
Republicans have failed of public ex-
pectation and fallen short in many i'm
portant particulars. This is still more
strongly emphasized by the fact that
the Independent element of the country
is not at present enthusiastically sup
porting Republican policies and acts.
but only tolerating them on the ground
that a Bryanized Democracy is not
even to be tolerated. but is worse than
Indifferent Republcanism.''

and such disgrace if the matter be
fairly put before them Perhaps the
coming Congress will catch the drift
of public sentiment and pass such
measures as will grant to the Philip

suitable form of government can be ar
ranged. In that event. one phase of
