THE SUPREME COURT.
Mr., Carnegie Forgets the Sentiments Ut
tered by Abraham LIN
coin.

In the course of an interview in
which he criticised both the republic
an and democratic platforms, Mr.. An
drew Carnegie said;
"The most serious objection to the
democratic platform is not the pro-
posed lowering of the standard Of val
ne, serious though that be. 1t lies
in the insidious attacks upon the SUI
preme court, which strikes at the
foundation Of human society. 1t saps
the root of peace and order and, If
successful, substitutes disorder for
law and throws us back to barbarism,
even to savagery. Without courts of law
and profound reverence for their final
decisions, we have nothing, for it is
on these that civilization rests"
In an address delivered at Spring
field, H., on June 1G. 1858, while COM
menting on the "Dred Scott" decision
of the supreme court, and its probable
effect on the expansion of slavery,
Abraham Lincoln said to the court;
eve shall lie down pleasantly dream
ing that the people of Missouri are on
the very verge of making their state
free, and we shall awake to the reality
instead that the supreme court has
made Illinois a slave state. To meet
and overthrow the power of that
dynasty is the work now before all
those who would prevent that con
summation. That is what we have to
dU. How can we best do it?"

The big interests behind Mckinley
want u big standing army. They want
it for use at home. They want il sta
toned at the great industrial centers.
1t comes handy when capital can't
make labor do its bidding. And il
these interests can't get it one way
they'll get it another, They got n war
tax to pay the expense of the Spanish
war. That war has been over nearly
two years. But the tax goes on
just the same. They need the money
for a bigger army. A republican con-
gress won't reduce the standing army.
IL it ever gets through with foreign
conquest the regiments now abroad
will be stationed at convenient points
ut home to act as policemen over our
own working classes. There is method
in all this military madness.--War-

Thomas F. RicharduIle Chief and
Delegate OF the Western Miami tribe OF
Indians. whose reservation is situated in
the northeastern correr OF the Indian
Territory. called upon the Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs yesterday IN reference to
matters pertaining to his tribe which il
is designed to refer to Congress as sooE
as possible.
1t is the purpose of the Mi
ami Indians. who in common
with the Five Civilized Tribes represented
by the Dawes Commission. are endeavOr-
ing TO obtain State rights and the aboli-
tion Of tribal government. TO secure
satisfactory allotment of their land pre-
parstory to that object BY the pTovis-
ions OF a bill introduced on March >. 1893.
200 acres per capita were allotted 70 each
member Of the tribe and a surplus Of
1000 acres left for further allotment
among the children who should be born
thereafter.
bill introduced on March 70. provides
for the allotment Of a portion of this sur
plus land among the children born since
the Introduction Of the preceding bill al
the rate Of , acres per capita. Both bills
are now pending before the Senate Com
mittee on Indian Affairs.
The immediate purpose OF the mission
OF Chief Richardville is to amend the pro-
visions of both these bills and to prevent

The DeveIopment of the RniInnr.

1t is predicted that in twenty years
time the railway system in Africa will
have been enormously developed. The
Cape to Cairo line will be completed in
that time; the line from Johannesbure
will have Joined that at Bulawayo: and it
IS prophesied that a road will run across
country from Bulawayo to walfisch Bav
in German West Africa. Others will be
built in Central Africa. through German.
British. and Belgian territory TO the
coast: AID the extension OF a network OF
railways all over the Dark Continent may
be only a question OF time.
Future generations will look back upop
this achievement OF nineteenth century
engineers as nothing less than tremen-
dous. The difficulties encountered by the
builders Of lines through savage Africa
have been all but insurmountable They
have contended with man. beast, and fe-
yer; mountains and rivers: jungles aud
marshes. Anyone who had yentured to de-

in Africa would have been met with some
ridicule. At that time there was large
"unexplored" region vaguely Indicated on
the map. in the vicinity Of the great lakes
OF Central Africa: and the information
generally current in regard to the ne
tives was extremely cloudy and indefinite.
But the roads are in process Of build
ing, and the whole earth seems in a fair
way TO be traversed by lines Of steel rails.
When one comes to think of the progress
that has been made in this direction in
less than a lifetime it seems nothing less
than marvellous. The present Pope. when
young man. took a journey from Rome
TO Brussels. and was rather more than
fortnight on the road. When gold was
discovered in California it took months TO
go from the Mississippi Valley to the new
Eldorado. In India the only means Of
travel was by elephant or bullock train.
and the northern half of Asia was hardly
to be crossed at ali Now the Trsns-Sibe-
rian Railway Is becoming a fact and there
are railways all over India. through des-

will be common there within twenty five
years, and then will come a great and
