One of the most significant events
in recent Indian history was just con-
summated as the report came to Chi
cago that the entire Pottawattamie
tribe of Michigan were preparing to
march on the city and reclaim the land
of the lake front for which they claim
they have never been paid by the gov

escape being massacred. This event
occurred nearly thirty years ago.
Indians are full of superstitious

IN dealing with the collection of du-
ties, in either case, such as the De
Lima case, the court decided that after
the ratification of the treaty with
Spain the president had no power to
impose a tariff on goods coming from
Porto Rico or going into Porto Rico
The court also held that duties collect
ed on goods going into Porto Rico be-
fore the ratification of the treaty with
Spain were valid, because those duties
were imposed by the military branch
of the government to meet a military

Fraternal Insuranc cc.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: Referring to the recommendations of
 the Insurance Commissioner of' this
 State commented upon in your edi-
 torial, beg to say that while few peo- pie, if any, will dispute the proprlety
 of accumulating reserves by fraternal insurance organizations, many will
 wonder at the ignorance of the subject
 which these criticisms betray on the part of an important official. As matter of fact, movement to provide for the accumulation of reserve funds began among the fraternal societies years ago. and Is now becoming quite general. Ono can be mentioned which has already nearly S4,000000, and many others have less amounts. The Ma tional Fraternal Congress, composed of representatives of most of the infiuen- tial orders, has had the matter under consideration at it's sessions for years, and has recommended mortality table and rates based thereon that will enable every such organization to accumulate safe reserve, also legislation by the several States that will bar out societies that are managed on the objectionable pan. No person should be better, ad- vised of these facts than the Commis- sioner, but his report indicates an en- tire absence of information on the sub- jnct. M. s. WADHAM.

COMM UNiYY ON INYEKEST.

If there Is truth in the report of what is going to be done. in Toledo 1t Is in- teresting. The talk is that the Toledo evangelical churches are going to form a trust. The object is to concentrate force, economize effort and afford a sol4 i'd front against municipal, public and private evil. There are in the city one hundred and two religious gathering places for a population of 135,OOO. The erection of unnecessary churches will be opposed. A prime idea of the fed eration will be to stand as unit for Sunday observance and for the aboli- tion of gambling and other evils. The opinion now is that every evangelical church in the city will enter the feder- ation
 Why not? There doesn't seem to be much strenuousness about doctrine nowadays, and if the churches can get together on common ground for the benefit of the community they will be likely to increase their influence and usefulness and save needless expense. To be sure, religion isn't business, but perhaps good business principles have enough religion in them to warrant their use in religious work.

GROWING.

Public indignation over the action of
 the four Police commissioners who made needless and extravagant trans. fers doesn't decrease. Indeed it grows, and this usually quiet and peaceful community Is decidedly stirred up. It will have a chance to express it's emo- tions and opinions at the public meet ing which will be held next Tuesday evening and it will undoubtedly warm ly seize the opportunity. It is in no mood to calmly take on unnecessary burdens. It is taxed all it wants to be and much more. It sees no reason why police officers who are we'll able to work should be retired, or half retired, to make room for favorites. And 1t doesn't want public business done in the way the four offending members of the Police board have done it.
 It is a good thing that the people of New Haven take proper interest in this matter. Their action will help to teach public servants to serve the public instead of serving private inter- ests. Good government can't be brought about by new charters with amendments, but it can be brought about by citizens who are willing and ready to do their duty in exposing and opposing bad government.

This has been boom year in sev- eral ways, and 1t looks as if 1t would be boom year in immigration. It Is fig- ured that by the end of the fiscal year fully 475.000 aliens will have landed on our shores since June 30 last. The fig- ures are running ahead of those for corresponding months in 1900, when the total broke the best previous record prior to 1892 Last year 44S,O0O immi- grants arrived at our ports, against 311,000 for the preceding year. For the ten months ending with April of this year, 350.000 foreigners had been landed here. Last month 53,506 were reported from New York alone. The immigra- ton authorities have noted the large number of Italians that are coming over, 22,000 arriving at New York last month, almost fifty per cent. of the to- tai arrival there. There were 5000 Germans and $500 Irish among the im- migrants that reported at that port in April.
