to make as careful a study of the situation
as he could and that as soon as he could
hear from Senator Allison "a date would be
fixed for the meeting of the finance com

added, and their first work would be to

NOTHING TO MOURN OVER.
Extinction of the Indian Merely M
Incident TO Civilization.


Americans will have to plead guilty to
President Jordans charge that they have
"mistreated' the American Indians. The
university from which President Jordan
was graduated and the university OF
which he is the head were made possible
only through that mistreatment. Had
our Puritan forebears not shot down the
Indians, stolen their lands and built
schoolhouses and churches in the wilder
ness, there would have been no Stanford
university and no President Jordan, and
nobody to complain that the indian has
been '.mistreated." But, after all, II Is
doubtful IL he is very sorry that civiliza-
ton has supplanted barbarism here in
America nor a hundred years hence Will
there be any regret among the people
of that time that civilization has been
extended throughout India, Asia, Africa
and the islands of the sea. The sub
jugation or determination of inferior
races is a deplorable way, doubtless. OF
improving mankind but In the scheme
of things no other has been provided.

Thirty-five Years Behind.

The forces opposed to Republicanism,
and especially Mr.. Bryan In his speeches.
have much to say about Lincoln and Sum-
ner and other great Republicans OF earli-
err days as interpreters of the constitution
and the declaration of independence.
When these statesmen were among the
living the Democrats had no use for their
opinions or their policies. With bitter
ness that seems strange in contrast with
present mouthings they opposed every
measure that Lincoln advocated and de-
nounced Sumner as a destructive radical.
To claim to be on the same side now ID
a queer self-reversat Bryan's favorite
oratorical device is to range himself In
company with all the great men OF the
past. assuming that they would stand pre-
cisely where he does on every current
issue. If Bryan and the Bryanites de-
sire to go into history why not refer TO
Jefrerson's Louisiana purchase, jackson
connection with the transfer OF Florida
and Folks relation to territory acquired
from Mexico? Why not turn to the ex-
pansion of the nation to the slope OF the
Pacific, where now are countless happy
homes and which was fought even more
bitterly and with as little sense then as
is the expansion of the nation todayy
Democrats who announce that they are
In line with Lincoln take no account or

ally changed conditions which result from

crat He has departed from the long-es-
tablished doctrines Of his party" 1t is
worthy of note that MIR. Bryan speaks
less frequently for the Democratic
party. He attempts to pose rather as
a champion of the people. and by the
people is meant the restless. fault-hnd-
ing. never-satisfed element which Is
carried away by the oratory OF disturb
ance and is willing always to listen to
the professional public critic. Bryan is
attempting to foment contest between
classes and not one between parties,
and the deeper he gets into his work
the less sympathy he has with the DEM
ocratic party as 1t existed prior to his
coming upon the scene. He has be-
come too extreme for Democrat and 1t
is not unlikely that four years from now
he will repudiate the name entirely.

sent to his paper a plain, truthful I'M
vanished statement Of the result. The
Oregcnian edited the dispatch and added
the following clause: ''The Mcbride int'u-
cnce failed utterly to materialize." This
was not in the original, which We have

The result Is that the friends of Mr.. Nc
