The Happy Indian.

From the Worcester Telegram.
 Since Poor Lo has stopped facing the setting sun and delivering fourth reader orations he has managed to pick up a con- siderable portion of this worlds goods There are about 23S, ,000 Poor Los, and they cost this government s9 S00O00 every year. and of this s, 3,60O000 goes for education. Still the Indian does not improve much. Sometimes he becomes a ball player or football player. and on one occasion, to the sorrow of his manager Mir. Burton he became singer in opera The Indians are well cared for. They have free education and they have a good income from the United States. This is increased by a lt- tie work but not too much work, for the Indian does not believe in labor All told. he has about the best time of any man or race of men on the globe.

THE POOR UNION.

The report which originated with
the Tonopah papers, and which re-
ceived wide circulation, to the effect,
that committee from a lobar union
of that town, led by its President, had
in the middle of the night marched
upon Chinatown, and beaten its inhab-
itants over the head with revolvers,
robbed them, and sent them out to
perish upon the desert, where an aged
Chinaman was actually found beaten
to death proves to have been greatly
exaggerated-probably caused by the
bitter enmity of those papers against
the union and love of Chinese. It
turns out, that in order to clear them
selves of the imputation, the men got
themselves indicted and tried, and af.
ter a very thorough, fair and impartial
trial lasting Ger week. the jury found

HANNA's SHARP TRICK.

Z : u 49, q ! s. 4s
The opinion Of not q few profession
al political intriguers is that Senator
Hanna is slowly but surely circumven,-
ing President Roosevelt's well-laid
plans to control the Nationl' Conven-
ton. 1t was q fine stroke on the part
of Hanna's friends to demand the cut
ting down Of the numerical strength
Of the South's delegations, to whom
,ney will represent the actual voters
Of that region. The Acknowledgement
of the negro element in many of the
Southern States has logically, If not
actually, as yet, reduced the South's
quota of Representatives in Congress.
II the South's numerical strength in
the convention is made to conform to
the real voting strength of the South,
with the negro vote eliminated. Roose-
welt would enter the convention very
short on Southern delegates short
enough perhaps to do him up before
tae battle opens.
Mr.. Rooseelt has already captured
the entire Southern delegation, and
the plan was to make it the bowling,
whooping, cheering and persistent
storm center into which enough North
ern delegates would be drawn in the
whirl Of patriotic" excitement, and
llen give Roosevelt the pole that tod
ches the persimmon. But this scheme
has been or will be badly punctured
when the Southern army of Roosevelt
shouters is reduced by not far from
one-third, and possibly more, and the
remaining delegates confronted by gilt
ee.. + & gold. It is limited that the white
Republicans in the South are favoring
the Hanna scheme since it provides
for the elimination Of nearly the
entire negro contingent, thus making
the white contingent the party to be
1'seen." Ever since the enfranchise.
1nent of the negro the white Repubii.
cans of the South have complained bit.
terly of the low price for votes which
the man and brother has established
and that very thing is what is binding
the whites to Hanna's chariot wheels
They want q shorter division of the
spoils with the negro not in it at ALL
