tories" 1T
It seems remarkable to an easterner
that road should push construction.
The remarkable haste, of course, cannot
b. accounted for by the fact that track
laying in summer is much more. efficiently
done than in winter. It will be news to
the fasteners to know also that Great
Northern surveyors were in the field first
and long enough ago for the Hill lines to
have finished miles Of track before this.
Altho it Is Of course supposable that the
White Earth extension may become a
Winnipeg-twin city line, the officials of
the 500 and its engineers are quoted as
saying that they themselves have not de-
cided where the line will DO eventually.

OF course, there Is nothing unlawful in
this. They have a perfect right now to
sell their lands, and the highest bidder
gets them. The man who Is on the
ground, and knows the best lands, is likely
to get the best bargains.
It is also stipulated by the new ruling
Of the interior department that the Indian
shall have right to reject all bids, after
they have been opened and the sale to be
the secretary Of the interior. The latter
provision can hardly be more than a form
ality, for it would be impossible for any
secretary or assistant secretary, to give
any personal attention to the many thou
sands Of deeds which will come to Wash
ington for his approval. Neither would he
have the information to enable him to pass
on the merits Of each case.
So, technically, the Indian Cor the negro)
is not being robbed Of his lands. He Is
simply letting them go; and the members
of superior race, superior in intelli-
gence, strength and money, are gathering

But there is one provision of the law
which fortunately will keep the nations
ward from becoming homeless; while he
can sell three quarters of his lands, one

This is the situation, exclusive of any
evasion or violation of the laws, official o.
otherwise. 1t Is large and valuable es
tate which is being administered, and only
the highest degree of integrity could in
sure it's freedom from "grafting'' anC

To the recent iefforts made to secure
the release of Mrs, Maybrick, the Amer
ican woman confined in an English
prison for numbering her husband, news
comes from London that there is no
probability that she will be released in
time to give evidance in the big land
suit Involving her mothers fortune.
Personal inquiries have been made at
the home Office, to which new appeal
has been addressed for her Liberation,
but Home Secretary Ritchie does not
intend to depart from the decision Of
his predecessors that Mrs. Maybrick
shall serve her full term.
Her sentence was penal servitude for
life, but there is rule under which life
prisoners may be released at the end Of
twenty years. Counting time remission
for good behavior, her case may come
up undcr that rule for reylew next fall
when it is possible she may get the
benefit of the custom of liberation.
There is no expectation at the Ameri.
can embassy that she has any chance Of
being released before thon,

"RacesSuicide."

President Roseveit's letter on the sub
ject OF race-suicide will be read by d
great many thousands of people who
will hes rtlly commend its spirit and
purpose, and lei ii go at that. 1t is d
deep sort Of egoLism that modern socle'
ty suffers under. We admit beautiful
ald wholesome principles with great
readiness, aud live according to quite
other principles. The American people
have never espoused either the cynical
hpicurean philosophy of the French oil
the stole Tostolan notion that strange
new revelation from on high has com
manded men coldly to lay down the
mandate given in the Garden OF Eden
and let the race die and go back TO God
Yet, as we have before pointed out, the
American people would dwirdle away
il they were not recruited from abroad.
The whole matter is one for the in.
dividual conscience, 1t is thing thai
laws cannot touch. 1t also seems i'm
possible for religion TO touch it, though
surely that cannot be, 1t is probable
thetthe miuis.art Of religion have noI

ual conscience as they ought to have
made. The Presidents eycelant lettei

a Nar4ow Escape.

As ovr lady Mhccabees we're returning
from one Of their meetings last Monday
night, the darkness, relieved only by
the dim light OF a lantern, natural J.
caused the conversation to drift to the
Supernatural. With highly strung nerv.
es and beating hearts, they were hur-
rying through tn deseI ted streets, when
to their horror, l4ere loomed just aEead
of them, what seemed to be white oh.
iect, with eyes like balls Of fire. Natur-
ally, their only means of escape seemed
TO be in flight, accompanied by the usual
amount of feminine shrieks, The fright
of the ladies wat @qualled only by the
astonishment of he innocent cause, for
the apparition p.oyed to be Que OF our
Ministers, on his way home from eve
ming services, beYsng IN his arms his
baby boy, warm. snuggled in white
wrap The "bali of fire" turned out to
be nothing more han the reflection of
the lantern upon the Minister'S spec.
tacles.
Each lady conGded the dreadful ex-
perience to her h sband and "the horrid
thing went right !ut and told it, which
furnished our Poit Laueate an excuse
to grind out the fbllowing:
The road was It, the night was dark,
The Lady Bee wished for a boat,
For they had I'd jolly lark
And three new ,ees' had rode the goat. .
The Parson, he ess homeward bound,
And as through thi. mud and murky night
He plowod, he won cred il his sermon, sound
Would bring the .nuers to the light
For he had preached that Satan bold,
Roamed forth by hight and day,
In quest of vict ms, as of old,
Who would not t,pent or pray.
When on the gs)d mans startled view
There flashed a cry CLEAN.
He heard the slssh of an over-shoe,
And a woman's frantic scream.
"oh. Sisters fiyslor here he comesl
old Nick it leeIs to be,
Between us and cur friends and homes
Oh Lord rememhor mel
Then up the hill, the ladies flew,
In panic and affrght,
For what else could the dear Cir Is do,
To save them in tter flightl
But they rallied quick and huddled close
And said "The men
Are usef ul whei meet ghost"
And the Parson sal. Amen"

and have proposition for the state of
Montezuma ana provides that before
Arizona can be set off as separate state
the population of Montezuma must be
100000 of which 100000 should be in
Arizona. The Democrats while talking
in conciiatory spirit, said, they had
little hope OF the Republican proposition
being acceptable. 1t is quite likely
that when this proposition is submitted
the Democrats will have conference,
Probably a counter proposition will then
be made providing that whel Arizona
has population which is an average
for a representative in congress she
shall be admitted as state, and also
that census shall be taken every year.
Democrats say they want a provision
fixing the date which will bring Ari-
zona into the Union, This will not be
satisfactory to the Republicans. While
efforts toward compromise continue,
there is only few senators who expect
an adjustment will be reached, and the
prospects for statehood legislation are
still remote"
