INDIAN, HE NO S.4BE.
A Curious Loss Of English Noted In Time
Of Excitement In wyoming.

DEApwooD, s. D., Nov. 24--An odd
phase Of the recent Indian troubles is re-
lated by the officials of the Northwestern
Railroad Company. During the last year
or wo q number Of Indians including the
son OF old Sitting Bull have been engaged
in construction and repair work on the road.
When the first news Of the trouble between
the Indians and the white officers In Wyo-
ming came the reds began to pack up.
Then the queer things Logan to happen.
Most Of the Indians were educated and
conversed in English with ease. When
they were asked where they were going, all
but one were silent He said all the Indians
had lost all knowledge OF English. except
himself, and his speech became more in
definite the longer he talked
The foremen berated the men, but thev
shook their heads as men who could not
understand and all headed for the reserva-
tion. The one who did talk said that the
white men were treating ths red men badly
and the latter would no longer work for
them.
How the Indians found out about the
trouble could not be discovered There
was no means OF communicates among
them. but in two days every Indian on the
road had packed up and hiked for the
reservation.
Since the Indian Commissioner ordered
that all able bodied Indians must 20 to
| work or starve. many Of them have been
working for the Northwestern. They have
been employed as section men, coal beavers
and roundhouse wipers, and they have
I proved industrious and capable, equally
with their white fellow workmen They
have been receiving from 81 .25 to 81 so a
day, and have shown decided preference
for working on the railroad rather than
on the reservation, where ditch digging
and farming are the only avenues open
and where independence is not So evident.
In a few instances the Indians have been
employed Us bridgemen and have done
good work. Most of them could sneak
English before they became EMPLOYEES
Of the road; and those who couldn't have
since picked up q good vocabulary
Agent Brennan, at Pine Ridge, saws that
the action OF the Indians in discaiminp
knowledge Of English in times of excite.
ment is not unusual. although it has never
been definitely settled whether the worry
and apprehension actually Danish their
newly acquired vocabulary from their mind q
or whether childish caution impels them
to insist that they do not understand.
Since the trouble has ended the reds
have been coming back and asking for their
old jobs again. They now talk as good
English as they ever did, and while some
OF their places have been filed. most of the
returned bucks have got their Jobs again
The Indians have learned lately to give
the Wyoming ranchmen a wide berth,
their wrath being more far reaching han the
punishment OF army days The Indians
who were taken to Douglas will have a
speedy trial, aud, as an Indians word is not
regarded in Western courts as any better
than q negros IA In those of the South.
their conviction will undoubtedly follow.

The great pearl oyster shells Of the Indian
ocean sell for 81 200 ton at Broome. In
the English markets they command from
81. $50 to 81 500 ton.
Most OF the shell gatherers, though, prefer
the Sl2O0 on the spot. Even without the
chance Of finding valuable pearl in the
oys.srs stns that come o up from ss below the
profit on his annual trip. The pearls are
additional profit and there are few lug
gers that don't come in with a few
pearls OF greater or less value.
Inc AUSTRALIAN Government, under tne
prodding OF the larger firms engaged in
the pearl oyster industry. is beginning to
try to control in some degree the lawless-
ness OF the headquarters Of the industry.
But 1t ia long way of and hard to reach.
There are no towns nearby.
The Government took up the coolie labor

these by hiring the natives direct from

Broome and they never leave the mggers

WashingtOn's Government.

From the Denver Times.
President Roosevelt has been asked
to favor q suffrage form of govern
ment TO the District of Columbia, a
request which, if granted, will provide
a literal acknowledgment of over 2JO,-
600 people who have had no vote OF
voice in their own government since
1870.
The petition to the president is made
by the officials Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, backed by the entire
faculty OF one of the Washington Uni
versities and by the president Of the
Washington Business Mems league.
The appeal calls attention to unique
condition that has long existed in a
self governing republie-thst Of a
great city and community where no
citizen has vote and where there is
absolute government without the con-
sent Of the governed. such 3 condi-
ton is contrary to the fundamental
principles OF American liberty" de-
elsres the petition
In 1874 congress granted q new form
Of government for the district, taking
over to itself absolute control. The
plan Was to be temporary but has new
er bean changed. The appeal points
cut two dangerous defscts-the intro
daction Of an arbitrary, sutocratio
government and excessive taxation
against which the people are pOwerlsss
70 protest.
An effort viii be made to give Wash
iugton home rule such as Denver has.
Each house OF congress now has q con-
mittee to govern the district and much
valuable time in every session is con
sumed in wFangling over district
affsirs which the people Of Washing
ton ought to be allowed to determine
for themselves.

From st. Louis POst-Dispatch.
Admiral Dewey says that the United
States navy, ship for ship, is the
strongest in the world While bis
reason for this opinion is not new his
statement Of it suggests an interesting
analysis and comparison He says:
sThe enlisted men In our navy are
the most intelligent that sail under
any flag. The modern war ship is, in
fact 8 great machine shop. Intelli-
Rence counts more to-day than ever be-
fore and therein lies the strength OF
our navy. IF every officer on a United
States war ship should be killed in
action the enlisted men-the men be-
hind the guns-cOuld fight the ship to
victory. Future naval battles will be
won by the intelligence Of the crews,
the men who do the actual fighting.
Officers nowadays cannot direct the
firing Of every shot. They have to re-
IL on their men,"
In other navies, the admiral says
making special comparison with that
of Germany-the enlisted men are not
as intelligent as our men. Recent
critics OF both the army and the navy
Of Germany have pointed out this de-
feet. The enlisted men are mere ma
chimes, drilled and disciplined to obey
orders without individual intelligence
or the power of initiative. They are
recruited from subordinate classes
who are in mental and material subject
ion to superiors. Their mental at
titude is one of subordinatiOn and de-
pendence. Without direction they
are lost. What is true of Germany's
soldiers and sailors is true in greater
or less degree of those of all monarch
ial countries.
Herein lies the essential strength Of
democratic government, where every
man is free and equal under the laws,
aud the essential weakness of mon.
arches where cast and privileges pre-
vail. The one developes intelligence
and independence; the other depend
enee and stupidity. The strength OF
the American republic is found in the
liberty of the people, which trains
them in self government and nOurish-
es individual strength and the power
of initiative.
The peril which the modern mon
arches confront is not the material
resources of America-but the menace
OF free manhood pitted against the
weaklings Of oppression. They must
yield to its superior strength and skill
or grant greater liberty and better ed
vocational advantages TO their people
In short monarchy and oppression
must 60 down before democracy and
liberty.
But this lesson Of the eonquering
strength of democracy should suggest
a danger to us. We have grown strOnf
in freedom. Can We gain any strength
or advantage from oppression? 1;
there not a tendency in America II
follow the fatal example Of Europe il
subordinating and exploiting weaker
people?
The argument in favor of imperial
ism is plausible, but fallacious. Moth
ing but weakness can come from TIT
subOrdination Of one people or class Il
snOther-weakness for the oppressed
and oppressor. Strength comes from
manhood freedom-the larger the
measure of freedom the greater the
strength.

The Survival Of the Fittest.

From the Kansas City World.
"The timid and the weak that are lost
can be spared. The brave who win the
fight are saved for great and noble
things and so adversely may become a
powerful agency in the production Of
mans best success"
So says Grover Cleveland in an article
in the New York World on Success"
In other words Mr.. Cleveland is glad
that the law Of the survival Of the ittest
is applicable in the domain Of sociology.
There is no room in his philosophy for
aid to the injured. There is 10 pity in
his soul for the timid who go down in
defeat and the weak who fall in the bat
tie of life.
Drive on the Juggernaut!
1.-THE helpless get in the way run over
them. They can well be spared" The
angel with the ashphOdel is welcome
when he takes away the timid and the
weak.
All hail success!
1t covers a multitude Of sins
But, Mr.. Cleveland, are We wrong
when We laud the age as sltruistic? We
say it is the age that supports the weak,
lifts the fallen-the age of hospitals,
homes and refugees. Oh, it is we'll enough
you say to take care of the cripples!
THE timid and the weak that are lost
can be spared"
That may be scientific.
But there is no Christianity in your
philosophy, Mr.. Cleveland.
And mighty little humanity.

THE HOMES OF KANSAS.

The cabin homes Of Kansas
How mOdestly they stood,
Along the sunny hillsides,
Or nestled IN the wood.
They sheltered men and women,
Brave-hearted pioneers;
Each one became a landmark
Of Freedoms trial years.
The splendid homes Of Kansas.
How proudly now they stand
Amid the fields and orchards,
Ali DER the smiling land.
They rose up where the cabins
Once marked the virgin soil,
And are the fitting emblems
OF patient years Of toll.
God bless the homes of Kansas
From poorest 70 the best;
The cabin Of the border,
The sodhOuse Of the west.
The dugOut, low and lonely,
The mansion, grand and great;
The hands that laid their hearthstOnes
Have built mighty state.
