LET IT HAVE HOME RULE.

II the Indian Territory wants home

have home rule, says the Kansas City
Journal. The only question which
should be considered in such d case
is that OF fitness for self-governmcnt
and that question can hardly be call.
ed a question in this instance. The-a
is little room for doubt that the Ter
Iitory, with its present population. can
successfully manage its own affairs
When the population was made nm
principally OF bands OF Indians. perhaps
the tribal government of the red man
and military authority of the federal
government, combined with the long
range supervision OF the Secretary of
the Interior. were enough to insure
the proper management of the affairs
OF the inhabitants.
But the Importance Of the Te,ri.
tory has constantly increased. Tho
value Of property interests has multi.

have arisen from time TO time. JUS.

fable OF all the crude beliefs resnect-

There are numerous wise persons in

OUTLOOK FOR THE DEMOCRACY

IL becomes all good democrats WHO
believe that their party is the party

GRAFTON to the state of the country and
the outlook for democratic success
says the Houston Post.
War preparations are TO be made
in time OF peace; party organization
must be perfected, party principles
clearly enunciated and spread abroad
and the party success prepared not
only at election time, but long in ad.
vance.
The immense advantage the repub.
licans had at the last election was that
the country was at war. The American
people have always voted for the party
OF the administration in time OF war.
Further, besides the existing Philip
pine war, the administration had the
enormous prestige OF the Spanish war.
which il had successfully concluded.
The head OF the administration which
could make two such irresistible ap-
peals to the country for Endorsement

the circumstances OF the case. the re-.
suit was inevitable.

ton ocmes the people of this country
viii have had time to realize what
the republicans have been really up 20
and how far they have departed from
the government OF the fathers of the
republic. The people of this country
would be very slow to indorse the rad
ical policy OF a colonial sytem. such
as the republicans have inaugurated.
If vote could be obtained squarely
upon the issue. The people once they
have had time TO realize the nagrancy
of the offenses of the party now in
power, will severely rebuke the dom
inant section of that party which. to
use the expression of Mr.. Sidney
Brooks. the distinguished English crit
ic, have come to speak Of the declar
alton of independence with a wink and
sneer contemporary about being tied
to the coat-tails Of Washington. Cou-
pied with this radical departure and
colony innovation. the republicans
have identified themselves with the
moneyed interests of the country
which have grown TO such a degree
as 10 require a party of their own.
On these two issues. which at the
next election will be squarely pre-
sented, unobscured by the glamor Of
loyalty on account of wars concluded
or being waged. the democratic party
ought 10 win. The American people
at heart still believe in the principle
of the declaration of independence

HOMES FOR LONDoN's POOR.
Great Metropolis Spending 100000
900 to House $4,000 Persons in
COngested Districts.

In a short time the London county
council will possess $50 blocks of work
mems dwellings, yielding an annual
rent of $SO5,O0O.
The project of housing the London
poor involves the expenditure from
the city treasury of $20,000,000. This
sum is expected to furnish homes for
$4,000 persons.
In January next homes for 1900 per-
sons will be ready for occupancy. In
February 2s6 more will be accommo-
dated; in May, 610; in July, 472. All are
in Battersea, Dukes court, and ST. Pan
creas. In Clerkenwell, Totterdown
Fields and Swan Lane homes will be
furnished during the coming year for
thousands more.
The biggest scheme of all is that
known as the White Hart lane, Totem
ham, scheme, which, for buildings
alone, will cost 1,530,s5S to carry into
effect, and upon which 34,7s4 persons
will be accommodated.
Work of building the homes is in
progress in many other places in the
congested districts of the city, and
nearly all buildings projected will be
completed during the year.

Professor of Illinois Makes a Valu-
able Gift to the Smithsonian
InstitutiOn.

Prof. j. c. Clarke, of Upper Alton,
ILL.,, has sent to the Smithsonian in
stitution a unique volume. 1t is a
compilation of the alphabets of the
world so tabulated as to show the
origin of all of them in the Egyptian
hieroglyphics and to exhibit the de-
velopment of each from it's earliest
to its latest forms.
The materials for this work were
gathered by Prof. Clarke from Ii
braries in all parts of the world, and
by correspondence with specialists.
The book contains about 1000 vari-
cites of alphabets, of which 200 or
300 may be called distinct alphabets.
They are arranged according to dates
and geographical and racial connec-
tions. All the Hebrew, Arabic and
Syriac and the Egyptian alphabets
are traced from the Greek. The Per-
sian, Indian, Manchoo, Thibetan and
Malay are traced from the Syric. One
of the most curious features of the
book is the six Philippines alphabets
and those of the islands of Sumatra,
Java, the Celebes and Formosa. The
exhibition of the evolution of the al
phabet of Java alone fills two large
pages.
The book also shows the numeral
ciphers of the world. The latest Eu-
ropean books on this subject say that
the origin of the numerals and the
zero is unknown. Prof. Clarke shows
that they are Syric letters of about
the Christian era, and are the first
letters of the alphabet. The figures
four and eight are older forms than
the others, and our circular zero has
been made from the Syric ''I' en-
larged.

PIG-KILLING SHOCKS NERVES.
Colorado Woman Visits Chicago
stock Yards and Is Now In State
Il of Nervous Hysteria.

A peculiar case of nervous hysteria
Is being treated at the Chicago poll
clinic under the supervision of DR..
Hugh I. Patrick. The patient is Mrs.
Maria Becker, who, with her husband,
came to Chicago from Colorado week
ago on visit. Last Monday afternoon
they visited the stockyards and were
escorted through one of the packing
houses, where they watched the cat
tie being slaughtered. Mrs. Becker
seemed to be Mortified at the sight, but
they passed on to where the pigs were
being killed. AS soon as they reached
this place she collapsed, crying and
screaming, in her husbands arms.
She was at once brought to the city
In a cab and Drs. Henrotin and Patrick
were called in. They advised her i'm
mediate removal to the Polichnic. The
case is unique one, and the conditions
brought about by the shock to the
woman's nerves are said to have SO
far baffied the skill of the physicians.
