Anecdote Of w. S. stratton, the Grip
pie Greek Millionaire.
Winfield Scott Stratton, who made
millions through his lucky discovery
Of gold at Cripple Greek on July 4,
1891, never cared to burden his
memory with the details of his bank
account. In fact, he could at no
time, without reference to his clerks,
make even an approximate estimate
of his cash balance. One day STRAIT
ton was visited by man who want
ed him to subscribe to a very worthy
charity. The object for which the
money was desired appealed strong
ly to the bonanza king. He nodded
approval and smiled as his caller
dilated upon the benefits that would
accrue to the people among whom
the proposed charity was to do its
work. The subscription solicitor,
realizing that Stratton was greatly
impressed, Ventured to ask Tor a
thousand dollar check.
CHATS not enough" returned
Stratton without hesitation. 'Pll
give you a check for five times that
sum, but only upon one condition"
"And what is that? ~
"Only that I have money enough
in the bank to meet the check. Wait
till l telephone"
In few moments Stratton learn
ed from his bank that he had a bal
ance of $380,000.
"Dear me" he observed to his Wis
itor as he hung up the telephone re-
ceiver, 81 didn't know [ had so
much ready cash. In that case I'll
give check for $4,000"

The Washington Star i'm a recent
review of the present situation of Ire
land says:
MATTERS look bright for Ireland
just now. Its people and those of
England are in fairer way to under
stand each other. Ii the agitators
will cease their radical crusading, if
the leaders will seriously and si,cere-
ly try to make the best of the case,
and give the new bill, which is prac-
tically certain to pass the house of
lords, a chance to demonstrate its
efficiency, the bitterness of the masses
will abate. The grinding poverty of
the people may continue for many
years. but there is promise ahead in
the revival of Irish manufactures
which has lately been reported and the
land bill itself will, if it does any,
thing, stimulate the agricultural ef-
forts Of the peasantry. What Ireland
chiefly needs today IS rest from dis

The encampment of the National
Guard just closed has been one of the
most successful of all those held in In
diana. 1t has achieved as much if not
more, In fact, than any, and has GER
tainly done more in spirit. There has
been an answering or responding spirit
on the part of the people of the whole
state somewhat new. This has been
owing in large part to our misfortune
at Evansville, but also undoubtedly to
the fact that everywhere the National
Guard is coming to be recognized as a
great and dignified factor in the peace
and good order OF the country that
alas! seems to need more of it's asser-
ton than ever. The recurrence of dis
order on great scale, and in so many
places has made men think, and with
the thought has come recognition of
what had been perhaps too easily for
gotten, that there rests and must rest
in the state somewhere the power to
assert itself supremely and in proper
ton to the need the more emphati-
cally, promptly and completely.
Whenever this is not the case the
state ceases to be the state; in other
words, we have anarchy.-Indianapo-

The Governments .ward,. !"

The United States government soon
will be without a ward in the Indian
Territory. Under its agreement with
the five nations the last of the tribal
governments will disappear on or be-
fore March A, 1906, after which the
Indians will hold their chances in the
struggle for existence like their white
neighbors.
In the section of the territory owned
by the Choctaws and Chickasaws, two
of the five sscivilized" tribes, the gov
eminent is already ''segratiDg" the
lands for town sites and mines from
those which are to be allotted to the
Indians for agricultural purposes
Or the mineral lands AS. 600 acres,
rich In coal and asphalt, will be sold
to the public, and already there is
prospect Of an enthusiastic COMPETE
ton, with some of the big syndlcates
probably the winners. The area for
town sites is smaller, although it is
estimated the Indians will have
S20, DOC, 900 to their credit from this
scource alone. The lands set apart
for allotment are divided into various
classes, the value running from 25
cents to $3.50 an acre. There are
%, 500 Chcctaws and 6, 500 Chickasaws,
and there are 11.610,6O5 acres, each,
Indian having the value of farm of
80 acres of average land. The former
slaves of these Indians also will re-
ceive in the general distribution 521
acres each Of mountainous or twenty
acres Of rich valley lands.
These Indians are the richest peo-
pie on earth, inasmuch as the poorest
Of them has citizenship worth,at least
$40, 900. Any Chickasaw or Choctaw
who can get the consent Of the author
tiles may go into the open market
and sell for the sum mentioned
what he is entitled TO receive when he
comes into full possession Of his prop
erty. Whether Lo will continue to
remain the "richeSt on earth" after
he ceases to be ward and becomes a
wage Garner, and has to take and
work land in seyeralty, is to be seen.
They will start off for themselves in
good form. The two tribes will get
$40, 900, 600 for their property, and
thew have money in the national
treasury already. paying them a good
interest. But each man will have to
fight his own way, and it will depend
with the Indians, as with the whites,
upon the caliber of the man whether
be wins or loses. But it is the only
of the Indian problem. The
Indians must look out for themselves.
The government cannot coddle them
any longer. 1t is too troublesome and
too expensiye.--Chicago Tribune.

New Pope Elected.

Joseph Sarto, cardinal priest, pa
triarch Of Venice. was elected to sue
coed Leo on the throce of St. Peter by
the conclave of cardinals Tuesday
morning.
From the first this eloquent cardi-
nal, who has reputation as a great
preacher and able writer has leen re-
garded as the strongest candidate out
side of Rome. He reaches his exalted
position at the age of 60 years. which
was the age of Leo when he succeeded
Plus TX. The fact that the new pope
is looked upon as man of liberal
ideas and that he was not among the
candidates for whom special interests
we're warmly pledged seems to indi-
cate that the progressive element
among the cardinals has won a VIC
tory which should be of advantage to
the church as whole.
While the new pope has not the
brilliant record as diplomat and ad-
ministrator that Leo had when he was
installed in the Vatican as sovereign
pontiff, he is an eminent divine who
has done notable work for the church.
There seems to be good reason to hope
that Plus x will prove worthy sue
cessor of the great pope who died two
weeks ago.

No person denies the right Of work
ingmen to organize or doubts that
such organization is beneficial in many
ways. but there is a limit beyond
which it cannot be carried without
reacting to the injury Of workingmen
themselves. When they attempt to
dictate to employers the terms on
which they shall do business, or to
override the legal rights of working
men who are not members OF unions,
they take ground that cannot be
maintained, and the attempt to main
tain which weakens their cause.
