That it is designed to maintain not only

It cccurs to me that the appointing

For twelve months we have had all the
tbraatenings Of war. God only knows
whether at this moment they are to
burst into fame or to be eXtinguished.
Every nation in Europe is arrived at
this moment to such a point that it
must make war or be well nigh bank

involve the whole of Europe, including
Italy and Rome and then will come
the solution of the Roman question.
These two arrsyed, are maIshalling and
approaching nearer to each other. Col.

pray from my heart as a christian and
an EngIishman is, that when it comes,
England may not suffer. OCr Catholic
friends are somewhat squeamish when
attention is Called to them.

Washington, Nov. 26-Indian Com

indorsed by Secretary Hitchcock. adj
vOcates a change in the management
of the Indians by which they will be
forced to earn their own living on
farms allotted to them, and the with
holding of ratiOns from those able to
support themselves. \ dispatch from
Sioux City. Ia, referring to this plan
says:
Neither the Indians nor the white
people OF South Dakota approve the
plans of Commissioner Jones to cut Off
the ratiOns of the Indians and thus
compel them to become self-support-
ing. 1t is an undeniable fact that eX-
perienced farmers among the whites
have tried to make reservation farms
pay and have failed. The land is so
poor n living cannot be obtained from
it.
''The Indians thmesleves are morose-
iy silent about the proposed cut i'm ra-
tiOns, and the whites believe that If
they are forced TO take allOtmentS OF
land on which to support themselves
they will revolt. Already the leaders
are going from camp to camp. telling
the braves they would better die fight
ing than he starved to death. Red
Cloud instructed his people long ago
not to take land allOtments because
cut rations would follow. and they
have Obeyed. On the Red Bud reser-
vatiOn few have disregarded the warn
ing. and here are half of the Sioux ma
ton. which numbers about 20.OGO men.
1T is an admitted fact that the hos
tile Indians are the most enterprisinc
when friendly relations exist between
them and the whites, while the edu-
Gated Indians are shiftless. 1t is sug-
gested bv the Standing Rock reserva-
tiOn authorities. where each Indian has
four head of cattle. that Indians ON
other reservations be started in ut
