There never was a time in the
history of the country, and es-
BaclagIy in the history of the
south. when there was such a
great demand for skilled labor
as there is today. Brick masons,
mechanics, plasterers and com
sueten workmen Of all kinds
nave been at a premium for many
months past, and right here in
Columbus rapid workers wit h
eha trowel aud mortar have re-
ceived as high as six dollars per
day This equals nearly two
hundred dollars per month, and
tai5 sum is doubtless as much as
IS earned by the average profess
fessioaal man in Columbus and
other cities Of similar size, and is
certainly enough, not only to
support the average family com

 Iudian Men and Maids at Work.

Under the new interior department rule for able bodied Indians, thirty Sioux warriors have begun to earn their rations as laborers in railroad con struction in Nebraska. At their head is Sitting Bull Jr., son of the great chief. and one Of the few remaining genuine American princes. The red men being more trustworthy, work mere satis- factorily than many white men who have preceded them. II is surely ar irony of fate that they should be pro noting by their racial heritage of strength the great highway agency which has been conspicuous in max ing sure their subjection as race. Bu; at any rate their energy and faithful ness are giving the lie to the sol dier theory that the only good Indian is . dead one" and that reservation life has quite cnervated the tribesman.
 At this same time, curiOusly, word comes from the west of the successful installation of Indian girls as house

lays emphasis on two points which the opponents of the omnibus bill are care full to ignore. In answer to the state ment that New Mexico has a large Spanish element, the Post says:
 If New Mexico is not fitted for self government after a novitiate of fifty two years, and if Americans wlO gc there have to learn Spanish in order to ask for tortilla or frijoles, how muca longer will it take the territory to give the grand hailing sign and the English password at the door of the Union : As believed in New Mexico and aii tine American element are due to the de- nial of government. Held in terri torial bondage. enterprise is repressed, progress is blocked, and all of that fer ment anu flash of business life which attract the American spirit is lacking. and instead of new immigrant ton that will leaven what it finds, and so dom mate as to compel the native to learn English in order to ask for his corn cake and beans, the secretion will con- tinue so slight that instead of assim Hating the Spanish population, it will continue to be assimilated by It. There fore the committee complains that situation is evil, which it's policy pro- poses to perpetuate. A true philosophy and patriotism demand that New Mex ico be enfranchised with self-govern- ment. If it be true, as the committee intimates, that the people are noy Americans, make them so by ,bestowai of the American birthright of self-gov- crnrnent. Then every highway ano trail will be pressed by the feet of the immigrants, who will enter the new state and leaven it's life with their quail ity. and compel it's stubborn speech to yield, instead of yielding to it.
 As to the obligation which rests upou republican senators, the rost puts the proposition bluntIy:
 The republican platform promised statehood for these territories. Pres.- dent Roosevelt rose to the calm height of statesmanship when he said after the elections of last month: The peo- pie have merely trusted the republican party to make good Why not begin by making good the platform prom ises made to the territories?"

Some of the BiIl,s Erie ends.

During the late campaign democratic speakers were bowling all over the territory that The Republican was try ing to mislead the voters: that when il quoted certain senators as saying that q republican victory would help the statehood cause, it knew that these sen ators were against the bill and would never support it. It will be remem- bered that Senator Platt of New Yorn and Senator Burton were both en- phatic in stating that the bills pros- poets would be greatly improved by the election of Mir. Morrison, and the dem ocratic statesmen were just as en- phatic in assuring the voters that nei- ther of these senators was in favor or the bill. Senator Platt some time ago declared himself for the admission or the three territories. and, in order tha, there may be no doubt as to where Senator Burton stands, we take the Iib- erty of quoting the following para graph from a letter lately written by the distinguished Kansas senator:
 'I have your dispatch, and am doing all l can for the omnibus bill. It has enough votes now to pass it, but I do not know but what some compromise may be made. am not managing the affair. but simply working with the friends of the bill, under direction or others who are managing"
 The republicans of the territory must expect of course that as soon as the omnibus bill is passed they and all their friends will be accused of disloy- alty to the statehood measure by blat- ant democratic politicians and office seekers.

Marconi Keeps His Word.

The world has become so accustomed to great scientific achievement that no excitement whatever has been caused by the news that Marconi has sue ceeded at last in transmitting messages through the air across the Atlantic Few news editors considered the infor- nation of sufficient import to be entitled to special prominence, and the entire performance has been taken as mat ter of course. And yet, within the past week Marconi has accomplished ona of the greatest things ever undertaken by man. On Saturday last cores pondent of the London Times sent this message to his paper:
 Being present at the transmission in Signor Marconi's Canadian station. | have the honor to send through the Times the inventors first wireless transatlantic message of greeting to England and Italy"
 The young Italian sent messages to the king of England and to the king of Italy. all of which went through ia perfect form, and instantaneously.
 Marconi promised that the wireless system between Nova Scotia and Corn wall would be in working order before the end of this year, and he has kept his word. He now promises that very shortly he will be ready to accept and transmit commercial messages. and there is no reason to doubt that he WIZ, succeed.

WOOD WANTS MAINE RAISED
Urges War Department to Recover
Sunken Shell of the Fated
ship.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-General Wood
has brought to the attention Of the War
department, through the medium of formal
letter, the propriety of making some ar
r~angements for the raising of the wreck
Of Maine from the ooze and mud in
which It lies embedded in Havana harbor.
1t is stated by him that not only are there
sentimental reasons for this, owing to the
fact that according to common belief. the
remains of forty or fifty American sailors
lie within the sunken hull, but this heavy
steel structure is also a menace and OBJ
struction to navigation in the harbor of
Havana, and 1t is the duty Of the United
States to the Cubans to remove 1t.
The expenses attached TO the undertake
ing is very heavy, the bids ranging any
where from $500, 900 to 100000. Several
tentative arrangements we're made with en-
terprising contractors who wished to use
the material OF the wrecked ship to make
souvenirs, but they have all failed and Sec
rotary Root, upon securing a more detailed
statement of the facts from General Wood,
will submit the question to congress, prob
ably without recommendation as to whether
Maine shall be raised.

FUNSTON SCORES CRITICS
Says Certain Papers wiIfuIIy MisIn-
terpreted His Remarks in
Lotus Club Speech.

TOPEKA. Kan, March 26.-General Fred
erick Funston was in this city today on his
way to California. General Funston de-
livered a seathing denunciation Of the east.
ern newspapers which criticised his speech
before the Lotus club in New York. He
said:
1 have been nagged by that class of pa
pers until l am tired. Editorially. they
wilfully misinterpret my remarks and / am
glad to express my independence OF their
opinions and their talk, and that Of their
kind, about my using dishonorable and
unfair means in the capture of Aguinaldo,
also that l violated the articles of war.
They know a great deal more about the
articles of golf than they do about the
articles of war. Everything is permissible
in a campaign except the use OF poison OF
the violation of a flag of truce.
As a matter of fact, only four of my men
on the expedition were dressed in the in
surgent uniform. The others were dressed
as Filipino peasants. President Roosevelt
approved heartily of my remarks before
the Lotus club banquet and was very anx.
ious to have me go to Boston on the invita-.
ton of senator Lodge and make the same
speech there, but my orders were such
that it was impossible for me to go.

Kitchener Makes a Determined Effort To
Capture Boer Leader.

Large lumber OF cattle Captured
British Column Makes n Hard
Night March to Find
Delarey Gone.

LONDON, March 25.-Incomplete reports
OF the result Of the combined movement of
British columns against General Delarey
have enabled Lord Kitchener to announce
the capture Of about 100 prisoners, three
15-pounders, two pompoms and quantl-
ties Of stock. wagons, etc. General Delarey
appears to have successfully evaded Lord
K~itchener's Gordon.
In a dispatch dated from Pretoria at noon
yesterday Lord Kitchener says: d.
At dusk. on the evening of March %,
the combined movement against Delarey
men without guns or impediments of any
sort. The. columns started from Com
mando drift, on the Vaal river, and trav-
eled rapidly all night, and at dawn, March
~, occupied positions along the line from
Commando drift to the LichtenbuTg block
house line. The troops moved rapidly
eastward, keeping a continuous line. with
the block houses or forcing an action.
The result has not yet been fully re-
ported Kekewich's column, after the
commencement OF the action, captured
three 15-pounders, two pompoms, nine
prisoners and 100 mules, carts and wagons
General w Kitchener,s column captured
eighty-nine prisoners, forty-ive carts and
wagons and 1000 cattle. There are a few
more prisoners on the block house line.
The troops covered eighty miles in twenty
four hours. Rochefort's and Rawlinson's
columns have not yet reported their re-
suits.
Lord Kitchener in a later message says:
All the reports are now In. The total
number of prisoners is 1856.
