CIV1LTZING THE INDIANS.
Orders for the Males to Have Their Hair Cut-Painting Faces and
 Holding Dances Prohibited.

The commissioner of Indian affairs has issued an order which in effect rompels all male Indians in the United States to have their hair cut frequent ty, or at least not to wear it long, and as the Carlisle football team is not ex- cepted the order probably applies to them, too. Commissioner Jones hopes by the order to assist the wards of the government in their advancement to- ward civilization, says the Washington report.
 The order is addressed to the various Indian agents throughout the country, and directs them to induce the male Indians under their charge to cut their hair, using force only when necessary.
 He says that it will require consid- erable tact and perseverance to carry put the order, and suggests the with holding of supplies from recalcitrant Indians until they comply, and the dis charge of those who are employed by the government unless they appear with shorn locks. No long-haired Indi- ans are 10 be employed.
 If any Indian ''becomes obstreperous about the matter" short confinement In the guardhouse after clipping their hair, he thinks, will effect cure.
 The order also prohibits Indians of both sexes from painting their faces and forms, holding of dances and so- called Indian feasts, and directs the agents to encourage the Indians in adopting citizens clothing instead of the Indian costume and blanket. The agents are also directed to report 10 the commissioner before June 30 what progress they have made in the sup pression of the evils.

The trusts received prod at Wash ington during the week when MT Bur- leson of Texas attacked the president for his sudden change of attitude toward the monopolists. Burleson started by quoting Roosevelts attack on trusts in his Minneapolis speech. made when he was vice president, in which he said: We shall find it necessary in the future to shackle cunning, as in the past we have created by that speech, MT Burleson said: "Oh, if the strenuous one could only be given an opportunity. With his great ability, his keen in- sight into actual conditions, with his honest desire to correct these admit ted evils, with the apparent courage to utilize his ability for the accom- plishment of his desire-the very thought of it brought cheer to the honest farmers of this country; the one class who never ask special fla yors at the hands of this government but who are at present being victim ized by the trusts to the extent of be- ing compelled to pay 40 to 300 per cent more for their agricultural imple- mentS than the same articles manu- factured by the same concerns can be bought for in the foreign territory ad- joining us on the north or southwest. The suggestion that this cunning could be snackfed was soiace anu comfort to the mercantile classes throughout the miutIe west and southwest, who were struggling un- uer the eXacllons ot pomerlul anu Yoraclous raliroad conlDine." Mr burleson then quoted tne language oI MT 1tooSeVeIIs message to congress mates as "capLaIns e1 lnduscry," anu commented upon the sudden and rad Ical change, and added: 'But this was not enough, for by way ot max Ing known hls complete surrender, or rather, to be cnarltaDIe, l Will say by way of eyidencing an abandonment or all hostility on hls part toward trusts, he has recently named the son Of the captain of the capralns of industry can America at the coronation of an emperor and king.

Representative Wheeler of Ken lucky has the true blue blood i'll his veins and stands by the speech he made last week and it is said is get ting hundreds of letters from every section of the country and from all classes of the people assuring him that the writers think he is on the right road. When Representative week sought to take him to task for his speech, MT Wheeler said that he meant no disrespect to Prince Henry or the German people and did not see how what he had said could be tor tured into such a meaning. He told the republicans who had said they document that if they desired he would circulate his speech in their dis tricts, together with the speech of General Grosvenor, at his own ex- pense, and would debate the question on the stump with any republican who wished to meet him Of the speech itself Mir Wheeler said: Be fore the American people. I say un- hesitatingly that I have not word to retract I sincerely believe we are drifting to a position hostile to re- publicanism. I do not believe to oc- cupy a great position in the world that it is necessary for us to sacrifice our traditional principles. l am a son of foreigner, and my love of the republic was born and bred in me.

SOMETHING THAT WILL DO YOU
 GOOD.

We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlain s. Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so long that it has become a household neces- sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it iii their homes as a safeguard against croup.-Camden (S.

Never in his whole career has Presi- dent Roosevelt been so severely criti- cized, and by men of his own faith, as he has since his famous decision in the Schley-Sampson controversy. In a re- cent issue of the New York Evening Post he is taken to task as follows: It is not question of danger which the president says must not be too nicely weighed by those whose trade it is to dare greatly for the honor of the flag It was simply question of making the fastest ship tell. most pow erfully in the long issues of a dubious fight. The president apparently thinks that Schley should have initiated Wainwright, who drove his fragile craft against the foe.' But the eases were very different. The Gloucester might have been sunk without endan- gering the outcome; if the Brooklyn had been rashly put out of the fight. the Colon at least might have escaped. There is such a thing as impetuous yalor swelling into q fault There is such q thing as the mad cry of q Cyrus: I see the man, with passion ate rush at the foe which loses life and the battle at once. To dare great ly for the flag may be to dare to keep your head in an emergency, and to hus- band your striking power for the criti- cal moment. If the Brooklyn had dashed forward and been rammed or torpedoed early in the fight it would have been magnificent, but it would not have been war. No, it would not really have been magnificent, simply because it would not have been war.
 As much as this we think it only just to say upon point which really has very little to do with the true case against Schley, but which has been reused to fresh interest by the presi-
