w. M. MELLETTE'S VIEWS
----
Schools for Non-Citizens the
Greatest Need.

In speaking of needed congress
sional legislation for the Indian
Territory w. M. Mellete, of this
city, said to Springfield Republi-
can correspondent:
"There has been much said
about the educational advantages
for nom citizen children in the In
dian Territory, but the subject
cannot be presented too strongly or
too often. These people who
imagine the white people of the
territory are inferior to their neigh
bors in the states, need light on
the subject. | have never seen a
people of more natural intelligence
in their respective stations than
those to be found here. But what
will become of the white children
now growing up? ] am not fan
attic upon the subject Of education,
but | am depressed when | think
OF the white boys and girls in this
country who cannot obtain an
education for wgnt of proper tacil-
tiles. Neighborhoods by the score
can be found where there is no
school Of any kind or description,
and, as a necessary consequence,
you find large boys and girls who
can neither read nor write. i
know this subject has been dis
cussed over and over again, but it
must grow in interest with each
repetition.

will be men and women tomorrow

SEAL SKIN POPULAR
Why Fashion Has Placed
IL in Vogue.


Let him who thinks he knows a
thing )r two about seal skins take
heed lest he fall. There are 2l differ
ent grades and qualities OF the fur,
and only an expert can tell the
value OF a seal skin at sight. The av-
erage buyer knows what quality of
fur he has bought only after he has
discovered how long it will wear. Up
10 that point he must accept the word
of the firm that sells him the goods.
For two reasons the market is now
flooded with the poorer grade of seal
skin. The falling of in the Alaska
seal catch has made the first quality
skins scarce and high in price. and the
increase in demand for the fur has
caused the use Of the inferior grades,
since enough OF the best skins cannot
he supplied. Some OF the larger fur
houses foresaw the jump in prices and
laid in large stocks of seal skins be-
fore December is last, when the fur
rose so per cent in valne. All dealers
affirm thaS next season the price of
manufactured goods will be higher by
40 per cent, and the raw material by
so per cent.
When the scarcity of seal skin
makes it costly and rare, fashion de-
crees a new lease of favor for the
fur. Everything appears to threaten
the life and peace of the fur-bearing
seal. Seal skin has always been de-
servedly popular. 1t is one Of the
most durable of fnrs, viii stand any
amount of water, is immune from
moths, is universally becoming, and,
being one of the most pliable
fnrs, is readily moulded into any
sort Of garment. In spite of all
this, seal skin has not. for several
years past been the fashionable fur.
Persian lamb has been its successful
rival and chinchilla has made good
second. Sable. of course, has always
ontranked all other far.
Now, seal skin has taken new hold
upon public favor, and the leading fur
riers Of the city say that they are
selling more seal than a t any time with
In ten years. Within that time the
price of the fur has more than doubled, |
and few of the long cloaks and mantles
that used 10 be fashionable are seen to-
Gay. The cost of such a garment is
greater than most persons, save the
very wealthy, care to pay; but the short
seal skin coats sell by the hundreds, and
are the most practical fur garment on
the market. 2a-inch coat to-day
costs about $3.50 and each additional
inch adds perhaps s25.
The Alaskan seal is, Of course, the
most valuable grade of the fur. Its only
rival, the shetland seal, which was won
lerfully beautiful but less durable
than the Alaska fur. is now almost un-
known. After the Alaska fur comes
that from the Aleutian islands, off
Kamcha tka. All of the other varieties
are decidedly inferior in quality, but
are frequently sold as Alaska seal. 1t
seems rather a curious fact that the
,uring and coloring of seal skin is prop
erly understood and accomplished only

CATTLE wINTERINd WELL.
Open Winter Has Greatly Improved
the Average Steers Appetite.

A gentleman who has handled
cattle extensively in this country,
and who leeds largely for the mar
ket and in wintering stock cattle,
said day or two age that stock
were eating more corn this winter
than in any previous year of his
experience. The weather gsner-
ally has been fine and dry, and
cattle have simply eaten more
than usual. Nearly every man
who is wintering cattle has made
a miscalculation on the quantity
Of corn and hay needed. Cattle
are wintering we'll and there are
few poor ones, and the loss from
present appearances will be the
lightest ever known. A great
deal, however. depends on the
weather Of the next six weeks.

His Obstinacy in Getting the City Into the Tangle
Is Not in the Least Mitgated by His
Recent Ante-Election Efforts to
Help Out School Ma'ams.

In spite of all the efforts that have re-
Gently been made to cover up the re-
sponsibility for County Auditor john
sons connection with. the present sad
condition of the city school funds the
voters should not forget, and no doubt
will not forget the real facts, which, as
admitted by the Republican officials and
the Republican press are as follows:
The statement of President Corning, of
the board of school inspectors, which ap-
peared in the Pioneer Press of Oct H.
reveals a situation discredtable in :he
extreme a situation dangerous to the
good name and the best interests of st.
Paul. And for that situati one man
alone is responsible
The facts, as Mr.. Corning states them,
are these. The funds at the disposal II

September salaries The appropriation
made last summer does not become avail

of three months, in the very heart of the
school year, when there will no money.
to run the schools.
Now for the explanation. Last year
the county auditor in Ramsey county
as also in Hennepin, was directed by
law to levy a mill and a half additional
for school purposes. The auditor in
Minneapolis obeyed the law, the courts
upheld his action. the money was col
lected, and Minneapolis is not now in
any such shameful condition as st. Paul.
But Mr.. Johnson knew more than the
legislature, and more than the courts.
He refused to obey the law. The SUI
preme court Ultimately upheld the validity
of the law, but in the meantime the time

for spreading the levy had passed. The
money was not collected, and the schools
are consequently confronted with an
other starvation PERIOD, such as those
which have in the past damaged our
good name and deprecated the value Of
our property.
Because of Mr.. Johnson's action in reg
fusing to spread this levy the janitors
and engineers have not been paid since
July For the same reason the entire
force of the schools can receive no SAL
airy, after that for September until Jan.
l5 when the new appropriation becomes
available. The board must either close
the schoess, or ask their employees to
work three months without pay; an out
rage that will react heavily 10 the dis
advantage of the tradesmen and the en-
tire city. And for this intolerable and
disgraceful situation we have to thank
MIR. Johnson, and Mr. Johnson alone.
Those interested in the future of St
Paul, and in the value of St Paul real
estate will assuredly have occasion to
condemn Mr. g ohnosn and work. One
such act of criminal folly will offset the
work of a hundred men directed toward
building up the city
In View of these facts, and the near
approach of election it is obvious why
Mr. Johnson manifested great anxiety
that the September pay roll should not
be held up. But this prearranged grand
stand play is too obviously the work of
a guilty conscience, intended for political
effect, to turn aside the current Of public
indignation. The people will not forget
on election day that Mr. johnson is the
guilty man.

Dudley Warner, of literary fame, one of
the owners of the Hartford Courant, died
suddenly this afternoon. Mr.. Warner
had very severe attack of pneumon. a
two years ago, while in New Orleans. and
has never fully recovered from it, Last
spring he had pneumonia again while at
his home, and this had weakened his
heart. OF late he has been much better
AT noon today he attended a luncheon to
bid farewell to some friends about to
leave for the Mediterranean. Mr.. War
ner was cheerful and gave no indication
OF illness. After the luncheon Mr.. War
ner started out for a walk Among his
acqua1ntances were a colored man to
whom Mr., Warner gave books to encour-
age his desire to read, particularly con-
neeted with the history of the coIored
race upon which Mr.. Warner was an au-
tbority. Mr.. Warner probably intended
t" call on this man, as he was in the
neighborhood of his house, when he was
stricken. Probably feeling Ill he asked
leave at house to sitd down, then TO
lie down, requesting to be called in ten
minutes. When the woman of the house
went to call him he was dead. News OF
his sudden death spread rapidly, and was
a great surprise to his many friends.
