WORK Or STARVE.

Commissioner Jones, of the bureau
of Indian affairs, announces the cor
rect principle when he says that the
Indian should be educated in the rudi-
ments of the English language and
then taught that he must either work
or starve. There is no other true Cos
pei for either the red man or the white.
Man has become what he is by having
exactly this alternative placed before
him; and it is no kindness to any in
dividual or race to attempt to save
him from it. The climax of our own
series of errors and crimes in dealing
with the Indian has been our willing
ness to save him. if possible, from this
choice.
The future historian will scarcely
know which to reprehend more severe
ly, the eagerness with which the white
man despoiled the Indian Of his lands,
or the cruel unwisdom of his later at
tempted reparation. The Indian as a
ward Of the government is a creature
whose future is without hope. He is
doomed to sink lower and lower In i'm
mediate and prospective degradation,
| until his race becomes extinct, unless
he is rescued from this killing kindness,
1t was very bad for the white man
that he was permitted to steal the In
dams lands, but it was probably in
the long run a good thing for the In
dian. It certainly has been a very bad
thing to have his lands preserved for
him by the United States, to have them
enhanced in value by settlement and
the building of railroads, until the pre-
ceeds for their sales would make a for
tune for every Indian among those en-
titled to them. Fancy a savage, with
all the traits and Instincts of his saw
agery, knowing that his wants are thus
provided for without his own effort.
Nothing on earth can then save him,
from desperate Indulgence In those
| vices of the white man which he is so
ready to initiate, but against which he
is not equally able to contend.
AS an allotment system was the onIv
way to break up the reservations and
turn aside the curse of that system. so
the casting of the Indian upon his own
| resources at the earliest possible mo-
n1ent is his only salvation. The rela
| ton of wardship should be altogether
abolished. The Indian should be edu-
Gated, not after the fashion that the
sentimentalists have decreed, not after

Washington for his people at Tuskegee.

THEY ARE FOND
OF FREE FOOD
Duke of Devonshire Addresses
a Big Meeting of the Anti.
Chamberlain Element.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Duke OF
Devonshire presided and was the prin-
eipa1 speaker at a great demonstra-
ton in Queens hall here tonight, I'M
der the auspices of the Free Food
league. 1t was the dukes first public
speech since his resignation as lord
president of the council, and the first
really important meeting of the Free
Fooders as an offset to the active prop
uganda of the Tariff Reform league.
The Duke of Devonshire said all the
members of the Free Food league were
united and prepared to resist to the
utmost the imposition of any protective
taxation on food or protective duties
generally. He himself claimed the
right to oppose anything in the nature
of return to protection. While the
fiscal policy was not a party question.
there was nothing which the advocates
of the scheme, which emanated from
the brain of a single eminent states
man, would like better than a general
election which would turn on this
question alone. This reference to Jo-
seph Chamberlain was greeted with
mingled cheers and Kisses.
The duke said the meeting was one
of Unionists, desiring to urge on the
government the danger of taking a GER
tain course and the eXpediency of re-
sisting certain course. 1t was not the
policy of the Unionist government
which was before the country. With
certain limitations he favored a policy
of retaliation, but he trusted that the
government would never enter on a
policy of retaliation under the delusion
that it was in itself good thing. It
would only make matters worse, if, in
addition to the existing hostile tariffs
against themselves, they built up walls
which would prohibit and restrict all
importation of goods.
He was opposed to the taxation OF
food because he thought that such
taxation was the keystone of the entire
policy to which he took exception.
Should the price of food be raised
some compensation must be given to
the working men. He said he was pre-
pared to prove that Mr.. Chamberlain's
Glasgow budget would entail a ire
| mendous loss to the consumer. while
the workingman's-e would be
increased 10 per cent. He believed
! that there could be no greater fallacy
! than that the prohibition or restriction
of imports from abroad would increase
| the profitable employment of capital
| and labor at home. The country is
prospecting everywhere, yet Mr.. Cham
berlain asserted that only stagnation
existed.
Lord Goshen moved and Lord George
Hamilton seconded the following res
olution, which was passed by an over
whelming vote:
This meeting, while prepared to
consider in a general spirit any meas
ure the government may submit to
parliament in special cases for miti-
eating the effects of hostile tariffs. is
of the opinion that strenuous opposi-
| ton should be offered to any fiscal pol
| icy involving the protective taxation Of
| food and the establishment of a gen.
| eral preferential or protective sys-

MISSING PRINCESS.
Alice Is the Second Woman Member Of
the Family to EIope.

Tie ARMY TO EIOPS'
BERLIN, Nov. 24.-It now appears
that Princess Alice, wife of Prince
Frederick Ernest of Schoefberg- VALID
enburg, left her home at Gauernitz
three months ago, taking her son,
eighteen months old. Her former
coachman, Emilio Materni, also disap-
peared some time ago. The princess
supposedly is In Italy. The princess
sister, the Princess Elvira of Bourbon,
eldest daughter of Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, eloped with an
Italian painter, Folchi, several years
ago and lives with him at Milan.
Prince and Princess Victor Frederick
Ernest of Schoefberg- Waldenburg had
lived apart for some time. The prince
had also broken off relations with his
father.
Princess Alice is described as being
small and pretty, with bewitching eyes
and of an extremely ardent tempera-
ment. The coachman, Materni, is re-
puted to be unusually handsome He
was married to a German girl; but the
princess liking for him was well known
at Gauernitz, where he occupied a po-
sition of confidence.
Prince Frederick Of Schoefberg-
Waldenburg is described as an unsym-
pathetic soldier. Princess Beatrice,
another sister of Princess Alice, mar
ried Prince Massimet di Riovano, and
eighteen months ago jumped into the
River Tiber on account of jealousy, but
was rescued, and celebrated her recon-
Citation with her husband in a theat-
rical manner.
MENTONE, France, Nov 24.-It is
said here that Princess Alice is living
in retirement at Sori, the Italian Ri
viera. Friends deny that she has
eloped and allege that she is instituting
legal proceedings to obtain a separa-
ton from Prince Frederick.

"FREE SOUP"

where such important results are at
stake there must be absolute accuracy.
Only the official count in the states in
question can be used to determine the

weeks before the Board meets to can
vass the vote, and in many Of the states
the time required is still longer. The
state board must canvass the vote and
the secretary of state announce the Of
fetal total before the exact figures can
be known. This arrangement depends
upon the action of the state officials
and cannot be hurried. Sufficient time
has not yet elapsed for the counting,
but the result will be made known just
