STRANGE Eject Of an earshouake.

An earthquake wrecked several
buildings in the town of Aulton,
Mexico, one time and then passed on
to Zopothon, where it sported with
the waters Of a big lake. At first
the waters seemed in q state Of great
agitation, and then they subsidized
and gradually disappeared. The
earthquake had caused fissure in
the bed Of the lake, and through
this the lake passed out Of sight.

The Indian.

In my judgment the time has arrived when we should definitely make up our mind to recognize the Indian as an in- divdual and not as member of a tribe. The General Allotment Act is a mighty pulverizng engine to break up the tribal mass. It acts directly upon the family and the individual. Under its provisions some sixty thousand Indians have al- States. We should now break up the tribal funds. doing for them what aIlot- ment does for the tribal lands: that is. they should be divided into individual riod during which the funds will in many cases be held in trust. This is the case also with the lands. A stop should be put upon the indiscriminate permission to Indians to lease their al- lotments. The effort should be steadily to make the Indian work like any other man on his own ground The marriage laws of the Indians should be made the same as those of the whites.
 In the schools the education should be need of higher education among the In- dtans is very, very limited. On the res ervations care should be taken to try to suit the teaching to the needs of the particular Indian There is no use in at tempting to Induce agriculture in a country suited only for cattle raising, where the Indian should be made a stock grower. The ration system, which is merely the corral and the reservation system is highly detrimental to the In pauperism. and stifies industry It is an effectual barrier to progress. It must continue to greater or less degree as long as tribes are herded on reserva- tions and have everything in common
 The Indian should be treated as an in- dividual-like the white man. During the change of treatment inevitable hard ships will seooir: avery effort should be

The Postal Service.

The remarkable growth of the postal service is shown in the fact that its revenues have doubled within twelve years. Its progressive development compels constantly increasing and prosperity its receipts grow so much faster than it's expenses that the annual deficit has 1897 to s3,923,727 in eoI. Among recent postal advances the success of rural free de- livery wherever established has been so so benefits so plain. that the demand for it's sx- tension is general and urgent.
 It is just that the great agricultural popu- lation should share in the improvement of the service. The number of rural routes now in operation is coos. practically all establshed ab plications awaiting action It is expected that
 the s in @ aaes at hs o osT bS of & th will then be daily carried to the doors of S., 700, 900 of our people who have heretofore third of all that portion of the country which is adapted to it will be covered by this kind
 The fun measure of postal progress which might be realized has long been hampered on the Government through the intrenched and well-understood abuses which have grown up in connection with second-class mail matter. Tho extent of this burden appears when 1t is stated that while the second-class matter makes nearly three-fifths of the weight of all the mail it paid for the last fiscal year only of sl ;63l.l ls3. If the pound rate of post as "s sS6 wss shs by qs with the purpose of encouraging the disseml. nation of public information were limited to the legitimate newspapers and perodicals ac- tually contemplated by the law. no just ex- ception could be taken. That expense would be the recognized and accepted cost of lib- era public policy deliberately adopted for a iustifabe end But mucs of the matter which enjoys the privileged rate is wholly outside of the intent of the law. and has secured admis sion only through evasion of its requi ments or through lax construction. The pro- portion of such wrongly included matter is estimated by postal experts to be one-half Of the whole volume of second-class mail. If it be only one-third or one-quarter, the magni- tude of the burden is apparent Tho Postofeic6 Department has now undertaken to remove ths abuses so far as is possible by atricter az plication of the law; and it should hc sus tnIt. in fa nnfnrf

REMINDING WATCHES.
Seldom Seen Now and Fast Disap-
 bearing from Use.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 Speaking of things that are disappear ing in the upheavais and transformations which mark the age in which we live.' said a New Orleans jeweler "how long has 1t been since you saw watch that you had to wind in the old-fashioned way with key? You may still find them, and occasionally you may find one for sale. The chances are, however, that when you do run across a watch which Is to be wound in this way, you will find that 1t Is now regarded as a family relic. a sort of heirloom, which is kept simply because of its sentimental value.
 "The fact is that majority of the watches of this make, in cases where they are worth it, have been sent back to the factories, made over and put on the market again with stem-winding works. The disappearance of key winding watches was natural. It was too much trouble. It consumed too much time and there was always the perplexing prob- lem of a lost watch key. The stem winding watch was a business necessity. and that Is why 1t is in such universal use at this time It Is time saver and consequently a money saver.
 Tn my judgment. the time will come when only open-faeed watches will be found on the market for the same rea- son. It takes time. you know, to open a watch. That's why railroad conductors, the men whose business Is run on sec- onds, use open-face watches The old key system of, winding Is gone, and the next change will be the disappearance of the double case watch" .

Pan-American Congress.

We view with lively interest and keep hopes Of beneficial results the proceedings of the vitation of Mexico. and now sitting ct the Mexican capital. The delegates of the United States are under the most liberal instruc- all matters promising advantage to the great family of American commonwealths, as well in their relations among themselves as in their domestic advancement and in their inter course with the world at large.
 My predecessor communicated to the Con- gress the fact that the Well and La Aora awards against Mexico have been adjudged by the highest courts of our country to have been obtained through fraud and perjury on the part of the claimants, and that in accordance maining in the hands of the Secretary of State on these awards has been returned to Mexico. considerable portion of the money received from Mexico on these awards had been bald by this Government to the claimants before the decision Of the courts was rendered. My judgment is that the Congress should return to Mexico an amount equal to the sums thus already paid to the claimants.
 Death of Victoria.
 The death of Queen Victoria caused the peo- pie of the United States deep and heartfelt sorrow. to which the Government gave full expression. When President Mckinley died. ter of the British Empire expressions f grief and sympathy no less sincere. The death of the Empress Dowager Frederick of Germany American people. and this sympathy cori dially feciprocated by Germany when tho President was assassinated. Indeed. from ev- quarter of the civilized world we received. at the time Of the Presidents death. assur- snces of such grief anf regard as to touch the hearts of our people. In the midst of our af- fiction we reverertly thank the Almighty that we are at peace with the nations of mankind; and we firmly intend that our policy shall be such to continue unbroken these interna-

The Consular Service.

The consular service Is now organized under the provisions of a law passed in 1850, which is entirely inadequate to existing conditions. The interest shown by so many commercial bodies through out the country in the reorganization of the service is heartily commended to your attention. Several bills providing for a new consular service have in recent years been submitted to the Congress. They are based upon the just principle that appointments to the service should be made only after a practical test of the applicants fitness, that promotions should be governed by trustworthiness, adaptability and zeal in the performance of duty, and that the tenure of office should be unaffected by partisan consd- erations.
 The guardianship and fostering of our rapidly expanding foreign commerce. the protection of American citizens resort ing to foreign countries in lawful pursuit of their affairs, and the maintenance of the dignity of the nation abroad com bine to make 1t essential that our con suls should be men of character knOwl- edge and enterprise. It is true that the service is now, in the main. efficient but a standard of excellence cannot be per manently maintained until the principles set forth in the bills heretofore submit ted to the Congress on this subject are enacted into law.

The Mail System.

The merit system of making appoint ments is in it's essence as democratic and American as the common school system itself. It simply means that in clerical and other positions where the duties are entirely non-political, all applicants should have fair field and no favor,
 each standing on his merits as he is able to show them by practical test Written competitive examinations offer the only available means in many cases for ap- plying this system. In other cases, as where laborers are employed, system of registration undoubtedly can be wide- ly extended. There are, of course, places where the written competitive examlna-
 tion cannot be applied, and others where it offers by no means an ideal solution,
 but where under existing political condi- tions it is, though an imperfect means, yet the best present means of getting
 satisfactory results. Wherever the conditions have per-
 mitted the application of the merit sys- tenn in it's fullest and widest sense. the I gain to the Government has been im- mense. The navy yards and postal ser
 vice illustrate, probably better than any
 other branches of the Government, the great gain in economy, efi1ciency ana honesty due to the enforcement of this principle.
 I recommend the passage of a law which will extend the classified service | to the District of Columbia, or will at least enable the President thus to extend
 it. In my Judgment all laws providing | for the temporary employment of clerks | should hereafter contain q provision that | they be selected under the Civil Service | Law.
 It is important to have this system | obtain at home, but it Is even more im- l portant to have it applied rigidly in our l insular possessions. Not an office should | be filled in the Philippines or Porto Rico l with any regard to the mans partisan affiliations or services, with any regard 1 to the political, social, or personal influ- l ence which he may have at his com | mand in short, heed should be paid to absolutely nothing save the mans own | character and capacity and the needs l of the service.
 The administration of these islands should be as wholly free from the slis- picion of partisan politics as the admin
 istration of the Army and Navy. All
 that we ask from the public servant in the Philippines or Porto Rico is that he
 reflect honor on his country by the way
 in which he makes that country's rule
 benefit to the peoples who have come
 under 1t. This is all that We should ask,
 and We canont afford to be content with less.
 The merit system is simply one method
 of securing honest and efficient admins
 tration of the Government; and in the
 long run the sole justification of any
 type of government lies in its proving
 itself both honest and efficient.

Care of Old Soldiers.

No other citizens deserve so we'll of the Republic as the veterans. the survi- vors of those who saved the Union. They did the one deed which if left undone would have meant that all else in our history went for nothing. But for their steadfast prowess in the greatest crisis of our history, all our annals would be meaningless, and our great experiment in popular freedom and self-government a gloomy failure. Moreover, they not only left us a united nation, but they left us also as heritage the memory of the mighty deeds by which the nation was kept united. We are now indeed one na- ton, one in fact as well as in name; we are united in our devotion to the flag which is the symbol of national great
 ness and unity; and the very complete
 ness of our nation enables us all. in every part of the country, to glory in the valor shown alike by the sons of the North and the sons of the South in the times that tried mems souls.
 The men who in the last three years have done so well in the East and the West Indies and on the mainland of Asia have shown that this remembrance is not lost. In any serious crisis the
 United States must rely for the great
 mass of it's fighting men upon the vol- unteer soldiery who do not make per-
 manent profession of the military ca- lreer; and whenever such crisis arises the deathless memories of the Civil War
 will give to Americans the lift of lofty purpose which comes to those whose fathers have stood valiantly in the fore of inc hattie.

several States, which are treated as mil litia in the appropriations by the Con-
 gress, should be made identical with those provided for the regular forces. The , obligations and duties of the Guard in time of war should be carefully defined, and a system established by law under which the method of procedure of raising volunteer forces should be prescribed in advance. It is utterly impossible in the excitement and haste of impending war to do this satisfactorily if the arrange merts have not been made long before hand. Provision should be made for util- izing in the first volunteer organizations called out the training of those citizens who have already had experience under arms. and especially for the selection in advance of the officers of any force which may be raised: for careful selection of the kind necessary is impossible after the outbreak of war.
 That the army is not at all a mere in- strument of destruction has been shown during the last three years. In the Phil ippines, Cuba, and Porto Rico it has proved itself great constructive force a most potent implement for the upbuild- ing of a peaceful civilization,
