LISH AND WEARS STORE CLOTHES
From The Oregon Statesman.
Chief Johnson. of the Taku tribe one of the
most famous Indians in Alaska, was recently in
Salem He has under his charge from five thou
sand to six thousand Indians, and they look TO
him as their ruler. He has six or seven large
stores, located at Dyea, Juneau and other points
and practically controls the trade with his peO-
pie. Every three years Chief Johnson has a big
pOtlatch. at which time he gives away thousands
Of blankets and other things us ful to mem bers
of his tribe He had potlatch in 1896 and il
cost him $4,000, and the held last year
almost expensive.
There are other Indian chiefs i'm Alaska but
none who have numerous dependents as
Johnson There are probably twenty chiefs in
all. the next in point of number of followers be-
low him having about three thousand. One of
these chiefs is to give big pOtIatch TO his people
this year, and Chief Johnson, the principaI
business man for the Indians of that Northern
country, has come down to make special pur-
chaseS of blankets and other articles suitable
for the extraordinary occasion.
1t has been the custom OF the chief to come
here annually to make his purchases from the
Thomas Kay WOOiIen Mill Company They
were unable to fill his order for five thousand
pairs on hand. These he took and the re-
mainder will be sent later.
Chief johnson has some members of his tribe
in the ChenaWa Indian School and he will visit
that institution before he returns to his home
in Alaska. This representative of our northern
laws which have been made at Washington 70
govern the Indians. He bitterly opposes the en-
croachmentS of the white man, and saws that
the game is disappearing from the hunting
streams. as In years gone by Hunting and
fishing are the only occupations of his peonle

LORD BUTE'S HEART IN THE HOLY LAND.

From The London Chronicle
If Lady Butes arrival at the Mount of Olives
with her husbands heart is an episode with
medieval associations. nothing could oe more
modern than Lord Bute's other wishes in regard
to his obseQues. His great wish was that
when his heart went to the Holy Land the rest
Of his body should be cremated in Scotland
The Roman decree which eXcOmmuncates al
Roman Catholics who take part In carrying out
crematiOns barred the way to the fulhlment OF

More Frank Than Partisan.

Mr. Theodore Marburg, of Baltimore, is a
Republican, but he is more honest than par
tisan. He was invited to address the Repub-
lican Commercial Travellers Club of Balti-
more on Tuesday, and he told his hearers that
he could hold out no hope TO them ofrehabii-
itation; that one of the effects of trusts was
the reduction of expenses, and no inconsid-
cradle saving was the dispensing of the ser
vices Of commercial travellers. He defended
trusts, and said they ought to be recognized
under a national law and made more effective.
Upon the money question Mr.. Marburg
was equally frank He said it made no diff
ference what kind of money we had the
skinning process would conlinue-the strong
and aggressive would continue to skin the
weak and slow. Nothing is more true. The
strong and aggressive have skinned the weak
and slow under paper currency, under a
silver currency, and are doing it under gold
recommendation. The only hope of the peo
pin is in the election of Bryan aud the enact
ment of wholesome laws whereby the rich and
the poor will stand an equal chance in Hfe's
battle

Mr.. Bryan Wants Congress to
Aid Him.

At Bowling Green, Ohio. on October i,
Hon. William Jennings Bryan urged his
hearers TO elect Hous,, Of Repre- senialivcs
TO aid him in carrying olt pledges to the peo
pie. He said
"Ii am elected President do not want

You have q chance 10 help secure ms

Every Democrat in Carroll aud the Second
Congressional District should vote Tor Hon.
]. Fred. C. Talbot He IS not only experi.
eneed in national legislation, having served
four terms in the House, but he is the regu.
lar Democratic nominee. Besides. Mr.. Bryan
wants Mr.. Talbot elected, because the next
House is likely to be close and one vote may
decide the political control Of the body.
Without Democratic House Mr.. Bryan viii
be able 20 do but little beyond the vetoing 81
Republican partisan legislation.
The Democrat or other opponent Of I'm
perialism and Trusts who cannot vote for Mr..
Talbot as well as for Mr.. Bryan, might a
well vote the whole Republican ticket

The Campaign in Maryl and.

The Democratic campaign in Maryland Is
more active than for some years past Sew
eral immense mass meetings were held last
week and this in Baltimore, aud nightly n
number of ward meetings are being held.
Hon Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Vice President, made a number OF
speeches in the state last week, and next
week Hon. WIN. Jennings Bryan will speak
in Frederick, Westminster, Baltimore, Easton
and Salisbury. Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, Hon. Web
ster Davis, Senator Wellington. Attorney
General Rayner, Hon. WIN. Pinkney Whyte
and Hon. John p Poe have been speaking
for the cause Of the Republic VS.. Empire,
and club, district and county meetings have
been held throughout the state. As election
day grows nearer the interest increases and
meetings are more frequent. Every speaker
in the state has all the engagements he can
fill, and able speakers from states that are
uncontested by the Republicans are aiding
in the cause of Democracy here.
Maryland's eight electoral votes may be
safely counted for Bryan and Stevenson.

Ex-Attorney- General of Ohio For
Bryan.

Elk Attorney General Frank S. Monnett,
of Ohio, is on the stump for Bryan and Stew
enson. He was nominated and elected At
torney- General by the Republican party.
During his term of Office he instituted twenty
four suits against trusts, but was 'badgered,
and DISTRACTED" by Republican leaders,
United States Senators, political bosses and
subsidized press The suits, of course, I'M
der this pressure. were delayed. Mr.. Monnett
was not renominated 80 that he could con-
tinue the prosecution of the suits, the Repub-
lican party thus giving unmistakable evidence
of its friendliness TO trusts.
Mr. Monnett made speech upon trusts
suits and the record of the Mckinley Admin
istratioa toward them at Columbus, Ohio,
last week, which will be found on the first
page of this issue.

Rough-Rider Evangelism


Extracts from the works Of Governor
Roosevelt show that he thinks drunken and
murderous cowboys superior 10 farmers and
mechanics aud that IN the long iuu Quaker
may be quite AS undesirable citizen as a
duelst Ia areceut letter he tries 10 explain
this attack upon the Friends He admits that
his convictions on the subject are unchanged,
bat adds that IL he we're nov writing the
fences complained ofhe would phrase them
differently. In other words, As be is nOs a
candidate for office, he would express himself
more circumspectly. A quotation from anoth.
er of his works. shows that the contempt eX.
pressed for the Friends in his Life Of Beu
ton, was not transient or superficial feeling
but deep rooted sentiment, In his win
ming of the West he expressed himself with
fully AS much bitterness as in his Life of
Benton on the subject Of the peaceful prin-
cipleS OF the Quakers. The Quaker or Friend
believes in the literal practice of the doctrine
of non resistance taught in the New Testa-
ment. lion that account, as Gov. Roosevelt
says he is as undesirable IA citizen AS a duel
list. the Saviour of mankind, who originated
this doctrine, would also be regarded by the
Governor rs an undesirable member of free
community" So, too, all ministers of the
Gospel who preach His message of peace
must be considered undesirable citizens.
Ia Difference to this great apostle of war and
blood, would it not be advisable to alter the
New Testament and substitute for peace on
earth, good will among men, as sung by the
angels, a chorus of hilarious cowboys, led in
deep bass voice by Governor Roosevelt
singing the praises of strenuous life full
of gunpowder and slaughter. In anticipation
of the approach of Christmas everybody
should get ready to change the character of
the celebration and give tia Rooseveltiau tone.
Ministers and church choirs should apply
early to the Governor for his revised version
of the angels hymn, or rather for the Rough
Rider song that is to take its place, that the
Christmas celebrations may be in complete
accord with the Mckinley practice and the
Roosevelt doctrine of civilization and liberty.
