Conditions In Indian Territory.

The growth OF towns in the Indian Ter
ritory of late is something wonderful -

ney for the Northern district of the
Territory, al the Normandie People are
pouring into our country from nearly
every State in the Union, and as rule
the newcomers are very desirable addi-
tion to our population. Only few days
ago | was informed of the case of man
who refused an offer OF 81, 500 for corner
lot In the village of 0cmulgee. capital OF
the Creek Nation. II is net long. since
you could have bought the whole town for
that much money. and mention the fact
as an example of the rapid development
of our section
In the district where my work lies
there are nearly 80 Indians. They are
doing well. and when It comes to signing
their names as witnesses. a much larger
percentage of them are able to do so than
of whites. The Cherokees are partic-
ularly astute people any way you take
them, and are natural-born politicians.
All the tribes. except the Cherokecs.
have made treaties with the United States
Government, which contemplate the sew
erance of tribal relations by March 1. 1906.
After that time there will be no common
ownership of property, and each Indian
must rely on his individual efforts. The
Dawes Commission. which was entrusted
with the onerous task of conducting these
treaties. has done the best II could with
the small force at its command. There
should have been q commission for each

America seems 10 have cultivated
fbe habit of Increasing the salaries of
public servants everywhere except in

whether this is due 10 Indifference or
the uneNpressed belief that men in

The designations of two Cabi'.et of

larger compensation for their SER

Government was not sufficient TO
meet the necessary expenses of their
life. official and social, in the city of
Washington.
Considering the relative Importance
of the Vice President, a salary of
eight thousand dollars year is alb
surd. The pay and allowances Z the
chief figures in the Ameri slo-

An Excellent precaution.

There appears TO be a deal of good
sense in the recommendation made
by the District Medical Society 10 the
Board of Education. Ii is suggested
that the latter body interest itself in
the establishment of system for
medical inspection in the public
schools. and that. in addition, normal
school students receive instruction
enabling them to recognize communi-
cable diseases when they become
teachers.
1t is a well-lnown fact hat many
epidemics have originated in places
of public education. Children in
various stages of disease. allowed TO
mingle with hundreds of others. have
been responsible for numerous out
breaks of contagion. Ii has also been
proven in frequent instances that The
victim of some common affection has
been allowed 70 attend school for
days before it became known that he
or she was ailing. This, of course,
was due to the fact that both parents
and teachers were ignorant of the
ehild's condition.
The proposal TO appoint medical in
spectors and TO equip the teachers
with necessary knowledge for a pri-
mary diagnosis seems TO be the only
method for the .jafe"tia rd-
ing of the community. The ia, that
a society of physicians has sugs tsted
the plan is the best evidence If its
practicaldlity and probable efficiency.

A Government Telegraph.

Ten thousand years ago, when prim-
five man needed anything, he either
got IL for himself or went without il.
He had TO feed himself. clothe him
self. transport himself. defend him
self But his descendant of today
finds that at hundred points his
wants are ministered TO by agencies
representing the united power of the
whole community. personified in the
Government.
The Government national or local
stations a policeman to guard his
house. and sends fire engine Ia save
it if il catches fire. The Government
carries his letters: in most cities il
supplies him with water. and in
some with gas or electric light. The
Government builds and repairs streets
and roads. and supervises commerce
and industry. Ii maintains elaborate
- -ssystems for the administration of jus
tice. for the prevention of crime. for
the relief of The needy. and for the
inspection of the public health. For
the sailor it sets lighthouses along
:. the coasts. and to the farmer il issues
warnings of approaching storms. 1t
does other things too numerous TO
catalogue: and the gradual develop
ment of all these governmental func-
tions has been a great part of the his
tory of civilization.
it is Il development that has not
reached its limit. Curiously enough,
in some important respects. il has not
gone so far in the United States as in
most civilized countries. In most of
the others England and France be-
ing the important eNceptions-the
Government owns and manages the
railroads. In practically all the Others
the Government administers the tele-
graph system.
Our railroads have grown to such
colossal proportions and to such per-
fection of management under private
ownership that their acquisition as
public property is probably neither
practicable nor desirable. On the
other hand. it would be a compara-
lively simple thing to take over the
telegraphs from the companies own
ing them. and TO make them. as in
other countries. an adjunct of the
postoffice; and there are many rea-
sons why such change would be de-
sirable.

The icnczneInn Crisis.

by great nations as burlesque
bravery. The spectacle of Castro de

fhe gaNety of most peoples were it
not that in its last analysis it may
prove TO be a more serious affair than
the world cares To contemplate. If it
should drive larger Powers to the
stage of action through sheer force
of circumstances il might ascend
from the level of farce TO that of
tragedy.
Regrettable as II is. some of the
South and Central Americans seem to
have little or no respect for the Mon

fcient elasticity to cover all their

state Department officials Will
Await the Action of Congress.

The President and the Secretary OF
State have determined that no treaty for
the acquisition OF foreign territory EN-
braeing the route OF an interoceanie canal
can be concluded until Congress has en-
acted canal bill. A protocol has been
arranged with Nicaragua by which that
Government morally binds itself to make
a treaty for the cession OF certain terri
tory along the route OF the proposed
Nicaragua Canal, but as Congress has not
sanctioned that route. the protocol will
not give way TO the more binding form OF
a treaty until the National Legislature
acts.
II Congress. contrary to the convictions
Of the Isthmisn Canal Commission, should
prefer the Panama route. the protocol
with Nicaragua would become void. and
1t would be necessary to negotiate a
treaty with Colombia for right of way
across the Isthmus OF Panama.
Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan Minister.
hes returned to Washington from the City
of Mexico. where he has been attending
the sessions of the Pan-American Con-
gress. He had a talk with Secretary Hay
yesterday in regard to canal matters.

dor, was another caller. He has not been
authorized by his Governn ent to exchange

make the treaty binding. but authority

ARGUMENT in MAINE CASE.
Mr.. Micou Holds That Claims of vic-.
Tins Are Valid.

Argument before the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission In the test case OF
Henry S McCann against the United
States on account Of the destruction OF
the Maine was continued yesterday.
Argument Is upon the demurrer to tho
petition hled by the claimant. The de-
murrer sets forth that the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission has no Jurisdiction
in the premises. as the treaty OF peace
signed at Paris obliterated all claims for
matters causing the war. aad therefore
claims arising from the destruction Of the
Maine passed into oblivion. and were not
among the claims OF Its citizens against
Spain which the United States assumed by
Article VII OF the treaty.

argued that there was a liability on the
part of Spain for the destruction OF the
Maine. because she lid not give the vessel
the protection the battleship was entitled
to on a friendly visit TO Havana. He
eontended that II the claim existed. it had
never been reliuquished.
He denied that the destruction Of the
Maine was a cause OF the war. claiming
that this country did not Intervene to Sc
cure reparatiou for this injury. but TO pro-
tect the lives and property Of american
citizens from imperiling dangers that the
sovereignty OF Spain was no longer able
to stay.
He said in conclusion: II behave these
claims are as Just as any this commission

The basis for the settlement of a claim
for indemnity made by an American cor

The house In which he was born was
built by his father. and is still standing

day 1t was completed. The father was a
tenant farmer. but not peasant. When
the Boston mayor ELECT was four years
old he was brought TO America. and later
was apprenticed to a saddler in Wor-
cester. While at work he kept a book
before him as Burns did at the plow, and
having a fancy for the bar, read law
books. At eighteen he was admitted to
