ERs OF THE NATIONAL TKIBUNE
The boys kept straight face, for they
saw that the Orderly Sergeant was now
clearly the ruler of the roost in Castle
Thunder, and if they wanted to see the
inside they had better keep on good terms
with him. So they formed up in good
shape and respectfully saluted, as he
turned his eyes upon them. He saw at
once they were veterans, and from Sher-
mans Army, and took in the stripes they
had assumed by virtue of their lance posi-
tons. The sternness faded from his ex-
preston, and he became gracious and ap-
proachable.
Gentlemen, your most obedient," he
said grandiosely, as he saluted with pre-
cision.
Same to you, SIR" responded Monty,
saluting: "Can we go inside, and look
around?'

REPRESENTATIVE CHAs. E. FULLER
Qll.), Of the House Committee ON Invalid
Pensions, has introduced bill providing
that disabilities under the Act Of June q,
1890 shall be rated the same as disabili-
Ties of service origin, and all cases which,
II Of service origin, would be rated at
above $12 per month, shall be rated at
that sum. This will enact Commissioner
Raum's famous Order No. 164, which was
the subject of Cleyeland's first attack
upon the pension system. 1t will be re-
membered that it was the basis of The
National Tribune's long fight with Com
fnissioners Lochren and Evans, to get
them to recognize the principle adopted by
Commissioner Raum with the concurrence
OF Secretary Noble and President Harri-
SON. and make it the rule Of the Office.

Danger to Grant. Tomb.

1t is feared that the tomb of Gen
Grant. in Riverside Park, will suffer from
premature decay unless it's temperature il
made more even through the year. 1t is
now heated only by gas. and was so in
tensely cold this Winter that the caretaker
was made i'll. The heat. of Summer seems
to- be equally disastrous: 1t was therefore
decided at a recent; meeting OF the tfas-
tees OF the Grant Memorial Associated,
20 ask the State Legislature for SIC, 900
for heating plant Tor the tomb.

THE Russian assertion that the war
will be a long one must be taken with
some reservations. Ii they are forced
back to the line of the Sungari, as seems
likely, the japanese will probaly refuse
70 follow them any further. 1t would be
FOLLY for them TO do SO, as the country is
barren, and it would be impossible to sup
ply an army at that distance from the sea-
shore. Therefore the japanese, after
forcing them back, will probably adopt a
strong defensive line, covering such of the
country as they care to hold, and then will
Impose upon the Russians, if they con-
6nue the war, the necessity of attacking
chem, which will be at great disadvantage.

THE Senate Committee on Pensions has
apparently no thought of doing away with
the enormous expense for Examining Sur
eeons by the passage of the service pen
sion bill. Its estimates and recommends
lions for pension expenditures for the ifs
cal years of 1904-O5 give 100000 each
scar for the fees of Examining Surgeons.
The Committee expects reduction of
$1,700,COO in the amount paid out in
1905 for pensions, from that of-1904.

vote for the Panama treaty. 1t is pos
sible that this will not be necessary. as
the people of the Lone Star state are
now in a mood not only to retire the bril-
liant Bailey, but also ask the more con-
servative Culbertson to leave the upper
national legislative body.
At least this is what former Lieutenant
Governor Crane and former Governor
Hogg think Crane is now a candidate in
opposition to Bailey and HogS is seek
ing the chair occupied by Culbertson. The
friends OF these two candidates are IN

the lower house in order to ascertain
what support Crane and Hogg can expect
from that source II is asserted that
Texas is thoroughly aroused at the OPP
position of its senators to the Panama
treaty. The commercial interests Of the
state regard any effort to delay the ratl-
fication of the treaty as an attack upon
the commerce OF the state. \ prominent
politician of Texas said today:
IF the Panama treaty were the only

the friend of tie Indian to decide is
whether the government shall take
direct or an indirect course in dealing
with a situation. In a few years at most
the Indians will have their lands divided;
why not make the division now and have
done with it? AS the objections and pro-
tests of the Indians against any such plans
by the government are going to be disre-
garded why go through the hollow form
of asking their consent? In other words,
the facts are cruel and the truth brutal,
but the sooner Dotn are applied the soon
er the whole torture viii be over.
There are few excellent and unselfish
friends of the Indian. who, knowing him
as the majority of our people do not, and
having his ultimate welfare always in
view without regard to present appear
ances. have steadily insisted that, till the
last acre of land has been taken out or
ihe reservations and put into an indivi-
dual farm, and till the last dollar in the
Federal treasury TO the credit of a tribe
had been distributed. the Indian would
make no progress. That is undoubtedly
the painful fact. The Indian has got 10

where Booker T. Washington is trying
To make the negro begin-at the ground

naturally too good 10 yield 10 the pauper-
izing influence Of constant coddling; so
why expect it Of the Indian? He does not
take TO labor till he knows what hunger
means. nor does he incline TO provide for
tomorrow till he has learned what II IS TO
waste his substance today.
Heretofore. even when we have trifed
with justice and honesty in crowding
the Indian into bad bargain, we have
finally paid him for his land in one way
or another. Congress has sometimes vot-
ed 50 much from the treasury and taken
the chances OF reimbursement from the
fees paid for white homestead entries; at
other times the Indians have been COM
PEELED to wait till the white entrymen

that from motives Of generosity. il not Of
