will be interesting news to many Amer
leans to learn that the identity of the
Indian In his tribal relation will soon
be forever lost. 1t Is believed that an
other year will see his final disappear
ance from among the segregated COM
munities of the world. The tangible
remnant Of the aborigines of North
America now consists Of the five prin-
cipal civilized tribes Cherokees,
Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and
Seminoles, numbering, in round num-
bers, about $4,000. Some of the nomad-
ic Apaches, Comanches and A~rapahoes
still exist as melancholy relics of a bar
barrie age In Oklahoma, New Mexico
and Arizona, but they long since lost
all semblance of tribal autonomy.
Seventy years ago the five tribes were
moved to the territory west Of the Mis-
sissippi, and for thirty years they have
been living under tribal governments
under constitutions copied closely after
those used by the States. In the course
pf years thousands of white settlers
ihave entered the territory and squat
rted' on any vacant lands they liked.
The racial situation has been further
complicated by the return OF the negro
slaves held by the Indians, but liber-
ated during the civil war. The three
races have intermarrled until travellers

who have invaded the territory. But

threshold OF United States citizenship.

Judging from the growing fashion Of
turning ones back, particularly If 1t
be a fashionable back, upon winter,
there is an increasing distaste for the
chill season, and it would be quite in
order to change slightly the old adage
and say that as the days begin to
lengthen not only does the cold begin
to strengthen, but the determination to
escape this cold grows equally severe.
The two pictures that confront a pr~
spective traveller are those of a meager

quently extend through the whole country and control under
one head and with one will every establishment in the coun.
try in which a skilled workman might hope to find en-
ployment. So l can see no reason why the workman should
not combine to make his bargain as to the rate of wages,
as to the hours of labor and as to the comfort and safety
Of his occupation.
But, on the other hand, he has no right to interfere by
violence with the freedom Of any workman who does not
choose to belong to his union. OF course where men act
in masses and are under excitement there will be occa-
sional and sporadic instances even of unlawful and violent
action. These will always occur while human nature re.
mains unchanged and are not to be considered too seriously
or too harshly. But a republic cannot live If any body Of
men undertake to impose their own will upon the lawful
freedom Of others.
Subject to this condition l believe the sympathy of all
true Americans is on the side of labor and it's attempt TO
better Its condition. Unless the American workmaLSshau

about 81 per acre. 1t requires about five years to prlng a
cacao estate into bearing, at a cost of 10 to ~ cents per
tree. The trees yield on an average one pound each. for
a plantation of 100000 trees it costs to bring into bearing,
say, 1880. At the end of five years it is worth $4,000;
at seven years, $4,000, etc. The production of 100000 trees
would be 100000 pounds, worth $1,000 at present. The
cost of putting this quantity on the market, including labor,
etc, would be $4,000, leaving a net profit Of $1,000.
Estates are easily sold at the above figures, and II a cap
italist can wait for results for five years he is sure OF a
good income. In the mentime, ''catch crops such as rice

The planting and growing of rubber trees is considered
