after him. The good that he did will not be inferred with his bones.
 While Shen Chien lived his war against corrupt officials was un- ceasing. It is a difficult matter, especially in China, to criticise public officials and escape un- scathed. The whole system ot government is one of favoritism and the rankest corruption. Money talks with public officials there, as it sometimes does in countries that are called civilized. To criticise the acts of mandarin is to invite certain doom. And the doom of Shen Shien came. He died a mar tyr for freedom, for liberty, for honest and progressive govern ment, loved by the intelligent com mon people, execrated by the en- tire officialdom of China, the cor rupt parasites who prey upon the vitals of the poor, who devour widows houses, who steal and lie and wax gross and wealthy-but who one day die and worms eat them.
 The fate of Shen Chen is to be deplored, but to millions of the people of China, though he is dead, his voice still speaks.

Stevens and Hill, erst while bosom friends, seem to be "at outs," although there not few people who allege that that is "part of the play" Stevens would gladly act the role of retriever and retractor' if he knew how. He would like to play to the galleries if he had the ability, so he to be used a buffer for any old kick that the other three members of the council may seem fit to administer to him. Stevens helped Hill to pass the ''indulgence" resolution in the council then when the doughty doctor got into trouble Stevens to have turned his back on his former Fidus Achates. It probably was all under stood beforehand for the indulgence resoution' still stands, and Hill is rubcund and self-satsfed ever, while Stevens goes mentally stammering and stuttering along in wholly helpless manner.

Major smead and His Men Went

Serious Trouble on the Flathead Be-

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, June 12.-David Dow, Of the
Flathead reservation, who is in the city, tells
Of trouble on the reservation between cattle
owners and Major Smead, the Indian agent over
tax recently imposed and which may have
serious results. Some months ago Smead issued
bulletin to the effect that each person on the
Flathead reservation would be called upon to
pay 81 head annually a tax upon animals
the funds to go to the Indians who had no
stock.
Thrifty Indians, halfbreeds and squawmen pro-
tested against this and delegation went to
Washington some weeks ago to lay their griev-
ances before the commissioners of Indian affairs
but secured satisfaction.
Last week some stock owners on the reserva-i
t1on We're rounding up their cattle and Major
smead made demand for the tax, which the
owners refused to pay. Major Smead and his
men attempted to take possession. of the stock
but were repulsed by the owners and their men,
who stood off the Indian agent and his men with
rifles. -.
Stock owners say their reasons for refusing to
pay the tax is that Major Smead allows certain
persons to range cattle the reservation who,
are not compelled to pay this tax because of
having, 1T is reported, more than ], 900 head of
cattle grazing there.
The trouble promises to become serious and
wellto-do stockmen propose to carry the matter
10 washington again and make Major Smead
trouble because, they allege, he allows outside
stock owners to Craze their herds on the reser-
walton.
