Spokane, Wash, Sept. q - Ctiei
Joseph, the famous Nez Percns warrior

for some time. He was sitting by his
campfire on the Covile reservation
Wednesday afternoon and was seen by
Indians nearby to fail from his seat to
the ground. When they lifted him it
was found that he had died from heart
disease.
Joseph's funeral was one of the most
impressive held in the recent history of
the Indians in the Northwest. Al

line to the Canadian boundary, and
from the Blue Mountains to the summit
of the Rockies.
Invasion of that section by whites
brought abont the need of new Indian

be moved from their va leys. In 1877 |
An attempt was made to put him on a |
reservation. He went on the warpath
with White Bird and Looking Glass
The war lasted for three months with
General Howard in pursuit, and for ten
weeks Joseph fought running battle.
in which, with 800 bucks, encumbered
with families and stock, he successfully

large forces OF volunteers and Indian
scouts.

DEMOCRACY AND THE TRUSTS.

The Democratic party has ever been
a prince in promise and pauper IN per
formance. The st. Louis platform con
tains a plank promising complete an
Inhalation Of the trusts if the Demo
crat are given the reins Of government
This promise has been discounted some
by the assertion of Mr.. Bryan that
the nomination Of Judge Parger null
convention" but there is even stronger
lilies the antitrust declaration Of the
evidence against hope that the declara-
ton would bear fruit in case of Demo
cratic success. The American people
have habit, doubtless annoying TO
Democrats, of Judging of the future by
the past, and they have not forgotten
the record of the Democratic party IN
dealing with the trusts. They were in
power when the trusts were in Their
fullest activity. with the Sherman anti
trust law fresh on the statute books
The people were clamoring for regula'
ton Of the trusts. for the suppression
Of unlawful combinations that were con
trolling the necessaries Of life and that
at a time when Democratic policies haC
reduced the wages of the American
workman and brought the trust ques
ton home to every citizen. The popula
demand was entirely ignored durini
the eight years the Democrats were II
power, while the party gave its entir
time to accomplishing the overthrow o
the industrial system Of the countr,
and the consequent impoverishment O
the people. Il took years of wise states

party to rehabilitate the nation and r,
pair the damage wrought by Democrat
NAL administration. The Republica
party points to its trust record as on

Of unfulflled promises, made TO cate

JUDGE PARKER's ADDRESS.

Words. words, words.
This is the sum and substance ofJudge
Alton b. Parker's address OF acceptance
of the presidential nomination. If the
democratic nominees understanding Is
as vague and obscure as his style OF
writing as exemplifed in the speech,
he is clearly not presidential timber
We predict that when the critics get
through with it. the Judge will feel like
resigning his nomination, also.
The studied production is in strik-
ing contrast to the clear vigorous, sim
pie. utterances of President Roosevelt.
The Irrelevant and aggressive philosophy
the eminent jurist deals out reveals
him ASA man Of the ponderous type
slow to think and act, uncertain, un-
decided, and discriminating. lie Is
clearly a disappointment.
At the very outset, Judge Parker
makes a childish allusion to his resigna-
ton as a supreme judge of New York.
