PoLIcYHoLDERs' UNIONS.
Concerns of Mythical Advantage to
Everybody Except the Originators.


The re-arrest in Chicago of Chauncey
Walker, of Policy Holders Union" noto-
riety. on the charge of widespread
swindling, draws attention once more to
the fact that there is no such thing and
never has been. properly speaking, as an
organization of policy holders to fight
the companies. Walkers scheme was
mainly in connection with fire insurance,
but alleged association of life insurance
policy holders have also been announced
from time to time in the past, and in
variably upon the same basis.
One or two men always CONSTITUTES the
association or Union. or whatever
it is called. and their business is solely
to breed discomfort among life Insurance
pclicy holders on the general plea that
the the latter are not being treated fair
" by the companies and that the new
'sASsociation'' or s.UTnion" is going to
SET all this right. Then the fellow in
charge invites policy holders to send him
membership fees with a description of
their policies on which he intinates he
can secure better dividends than any
body else. He gets a few customers, and
they get left. Nothing has ever been
realized for their victims by these chaps
and nothing ever will be.
The Walker scheme in New York and
Chicago was on larger scale. and hav-
ing fire insurance to tilt against. a Who'll

Failing in securing satisfaction there let
the policy holder air his supposed griev-

THE LATE BISHOP WHIPPLE AND
OUR INDIAN POLICY.

Let Bishop Whipple still be spoken OF
as an apostle to the Indians, but let it
also be understood that he was much
more an apostle to his fellow country
men and their rulers and agents on be-
half of the red man everywhere. With
his keen insight and common sense it
did not take him long after arriving on
the ground to fully comprehend the SIT
,.ation. the folly of the governments
traditional Indian policy, the ineRciency
not to say dishonesty Of administrations.
the bottomless iniquity of the Indian
ring and the miseries resulting from
the unchecked flow of firewater through
the Indian camps. He had not been
six months in Minnesota before he ad-
dressed a letter to President Buchanan
urging measures and action to stop the
sale of ardent spirits to Indians, and
he took the opportunity to propose the
establishment of the Indians in homes
where they may live by cultivation OF
the soil, and that they be supplied with
Christian teachers of agriculture and the
arts of civilization.
American frontiersmen have always
hated Indians and coveted their lands
After Indian outbreaks their seated hate
has often swelled into incandeseent pas
sion. Such was the case In Minnesota
after the Sioux massacre of 1862. On ev-
good Indians but dead Indians; death to
the red scoundrels-" It took brave
spirit to stem that tide of denunciation
Bishop Whipple was not the man to
wear a muzzle or to run for cover. In
September, just after the slaughter had
ceased, he published statement or
facts, in which he called things by their
right names. For this he was bitterly
abused in private and by the public
press, but his assertions were never
questioned without condoning the
murders he portrayed the frauds and in
iuries which were the just excuse for
resentment on the part of the Sioux, and
pleaded with his fellow citizens for the
establishment of new Indian policy
which would insure to Indians "a strong
government, an individual right in the
soil, just system of trade, wise sys-
TEN of civilization and honest agents. =

THE UNION sERYAYr GIRL

OF course the overwhelming disposition
ment of a servant girls union. Indeed
the subject has been made use of by
local cartoonists in such manner as to
lead to the belief that these women in
the movement which they have inau-
gurated, are entitled to as much consid-
GRAFTON as SO many chimpanZees organ
lied for purposes of self-protection,
Yet the servant girls have their union
both here and in Minneapolis. and they
are proceeding to promote what they be-
ieye to be their own best interests in
much the same manner as men in the
other callings of life have done and are
doing in such numbers.
Why should not the servant girls have
their societies or their unions for social
! or business purposes just as have other
citizens? Surprising they are able
through that instrumentality to raise the
standard of efficiency in the calling will
not that end alone more than justify
their movement?
There has been a good deal of foolish
ness INDUCED in through the public
prints regarding the servant girl prob
lem. That there is such a problem al
most every good housekeeper, whether
servants, has ample reason to know.
What has been done to solve the prob
lem? What is being done? Absolutely
nothing. Good servants are becoming
scarcer every day; and the supply is no
nearer to the demand today than it has
been at any time in ten or fifteen years
past.
Why? There are manifold reasons.
But hcusekeepers and newspaper writ
ers choose to ignore the most Intelligent
of them and to act as If the problem was
a good thing to have around, through
which to air deserving persons griey-
ances.
girls union the possibility Of the most
intelligent attempt yet made to bring
the question of the supply of competent
domestic servants near to a settlement.
Anyway the girls have just the same
rights in the premises as other folks, and
the attempt to ridicule thenl SO far as it
has progressed, has done little more than
to demonstrate the very crude nature of
some peoples conception of shumor.

ket. Then again, the reduction is so
small that it would have no effect what
ever upon the wool market. The duty on
Argentine wool amounts to 1875 per cent
ad valorem. A reduction of 20 per cent
would still leave a handicap of 10S per
cent in favor of the wool growers of the
United States. If they cannot compete
with Argentina having that much start
the industry should be allowed to go to
the wall. 1t will not pay the public to
sustain it. The same is true Of beet
sugar or any industry which depends
unon unskilled- labor.
Our exports are falling off and vessels
in the carrying trade are now lying idle

maintaining our wall of exclusion is al

AUTUMN.

Autumn hath finished her dancing gown
Her pine-co needles she throWeth
down,
Her gold and scarlet and crimson thread
Hath flown from the reels, her cares are
sped
Over her garment of purple haze
Goeth the beauty of busy days
Her glowing broidery's silken shine
Violet aster, following vine,
Faded, !. shadow. tender old gold
Against the glory so richly bold:
The brass bright feathery golden rod
The quiet softness OF dun gray sod.
Silvery blue of wandering creeks,
Deep red smouldering of sumac fire.
Coral berries OF hawthorn briar;
The wild pluras glow, and the pink of
peach,
Amethyst, ruby, soft skeins of each,
Haunting purple Of proud iron weed,
Cherry bright botches of dead leafs
bleed.
With mystic fingers and yelled face,
Silently wrought, with marvellous grace,
Over the sflimmering shining void.
Along the hem of her garments edge
Traileth the sadness of dying sedge;
Cat tails and rushes and broken REEDS.
Dfooplng pale tnlStieS anu Hiin-pou

Fragile. glorious, mournfglly bright
This broidered gauze- OF her dancing
night
A fillet She hath, of velvet grapes
Splitting sweet wine from their perfect
shapes;
Above her brow in her dusky hair,
Spicy musk of the mellowing pear.
With sorrowful, lang rous. dreamy signs,
Sweet regret in her passionate eyes,
She bindeth her russet sandals feet;
With sere marsh grass on wavering 1eel'
For she knoweth well her day is done
And her fair death dance is just begun
