they nominated in caucus. Major
Warner was elected at the last minute
as compromise candidate. He is a
United States District Attorney under
Roosevelt. Neidringhaus, the St.
Louis brewer whose money and work
was the chief instrumentality in carry
ing Missouri for Roosevelt, was the
caucus nominee, but the old Republi-
can war-horse, Richard G. Kerens, had
sufficient power to prevent the NOM
inee's election. The result is that
the Republican party in Missouri is
all torn to pieces. Republicanism
never was very popular in the Empire
State of the South. 1t will be less so
after the incapacity shown by the Re-
publican legislature just adjourned.
Roosevelt congratulated his friend
Neidringhaus at the time of his nomi-
nation, saying that he was delighted"
that this son of a German-American
family of the old state of Missouri was
about to come to the United States
Senate. 1t remains to be seen what he
will write to his friend Neidringhaus
now. Republicanism fails to make a
respectable showing even when it has
a chance in the south. The party in
the north usually elects it's best men,
but in the south it has no good men
to elect. 1t would have been far better
for the Republican party of Missouri
and certainly for the state if few of
the Republicans who supported Kerens
had thrown their votes to that sterling
old Democrat Senator Cockrell, who
has represented the state in the United
States Senate ever since 1874.

eoLoRADO's DISGRACE.

The deal through which Alva Adams
was deprived Of his office Of governor
of Colorado will go down in the history
of our politics as one of the most bare
faced steals ever perpetrated. There
were two men at the last election who
received large percentages Of the total
number Of votes in Colorado. One
was Alva Adams and the other Ex-
Governor Peabody. On the face of the
returns Adams was elected by more
than ten thousand majority, but Pea
body was in office and his followers
determined to hold ON, alleging fraud
on the part Of the Democrats. Pea
body, however, had enemies in his
own party and Adams was allowed to
take his office the first Of the year.
Under the laws of Colorado the legisla-
ture canvasses the vote and the power
lies with the legislature to deprive
man of his office or to give it to one
not entitled to it. The legislature was
Republican on joint ballot, but many
of the Republican members were hos
tile to the Republican governor, Pea
body. a semblance Of contest was
carried on and almost every disinter-
csted person in and out Of Colorado is
convinced Of the fact that Adams was
elected. Shortly before adjourning,
however, the legislature fixed up a
deal by which they agreed to vote
that Peabody was elected governor If
Peabody would first place his resigna-
ton in the hands of certain desig-
mated party to be filed by that party
as soon as Peabody took his office
after Adams was ousted. BY this
means Mcdonald, the lieutenant gov
ernor, became governor. The agree
ment was made and the terms of it
carried out. The legislature voted
Adams out and Peabody in, but the
latter had already placed his resigna-
ton in the hands Of a man who filed
it Immediately upon Peabody's Access
sion to Office and thus Mcdonald be-
came the governor of Colorado.
In this way man who was not
voted for at all has been made gov
ernOr, while both of the men who ran
for the Office are still alive, neither of
whom has been disqualified in any
legal way for the office. 1t is one of
the most bare-faced political intrigues
ever perpetrated. 1t deserves to be put
down with the train Of incidents and
schemes through which Samuel ]. Til
den was deprived of the presidency.
Alva Adams, the man apparently
most wronged, will not be the greatest
sufferer in the end. He is the head of
bank and has other large business
interests, and will not suffer through
the loss Of salary of $1,000 per year.
He can get along without the office,
but the state of Colorado can i'll afford
to sanction the political methods by
which the man who received a large
majority of the votes was deprived Of
his office. It is piece Of discreditable
work to the state and it will be many
long years before Colorado RECEIVERS
from the disgrace. It will not do to
say. that the legislature considered

First Celebration at Eveleth,

Division No. 2, A. o. H., of Eveleth.
gave concert and lecture on March
16 Hon. Martin Hughes of Hibbing
was engaged to deliver the grafton at
the Vail hall, which is one Of the lar
gest on the range, and standing room
was at a premium. Division No. 2 will
cherish the memory of it's first St. Pat
rick's day celebration, and extends it's
thanks to the people of Eveleth for the
splendid way in which they attended,
and for the many expressions Of praise
that are heard on the streets and in
the homes of the elegant program they
tenjoyed. w. E. Moylan delivered the
opening address, which was very brief,
but to the point. He said: Ladies
and gentlemen! In behalf of Division
No. 2, A. o. H., 1 wish to thank you
this evening for the interest you have
taken in this the first celebration in
your city by the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, and it being the first time
that st. Patrick's day has been recog-
nized in Eveleth, we Hibernians feel
honored that it was the Ancient Order,
Of Hibernians which first observed it.
we thank you one and all for your en-
couragement and support on this the
anniversary of our patron saint"
1t may not be amiss at this time to.
say that the A. o. H. has decided to,
turn over the proceeds of this evening
st. Patrick's church, and in that way
show to our many friends that we of
Division No. 2 of Eveleth live up to
the spirit and letter Of the laws Of our
noble order, which are friendship,
unity and true Christian charity. Hon,
Martin Hughes gave masterful ad.
dress, citing the history Of the Irish in
America and the prominent part they
have taken in the wars and in the COM
mercial life of our country. He read
the letter that Washington sent to the
Friendly Sons Of st. Patrick, also re-
cited poem of John Boyle O'Reilly. He.
said: '1t is very strange how the Eng
lish will stand up with brazen face
and say that the Irish people cannot
rule themselves, and at the same time
we find the Irish leading in all lands
in every walk Of life except in their
own dear old Ireland" He told many
witty stories and captivated his audi
ence. Mr.. Hughes has an eloquent de-
livery and pleasant way of putting
his witticisms which were always we'll
received.
The greatest surprise Of the evening
was when the Rev. Father Floyd
stepped on the stage, the audience ex-
pecting him to give few remarks,
but music in hand the reverend father
sang the Wearing of the Green" after
which the windows fairly shook by
the applause which greeted him. Fa-
Their Floyd responded to the encore,
singing the minstrel Boy" and for
fully five minutes the audience was in
ecstacy of delight. David Evans Of
Duluth sang "Molly o. and "The Dear
Little Shamrock" also an encore. Cody
Perry sang, also Mr.. jenkins and Miss
Davis. Burt Springer recited the can
Gent Priests" The Hughes sisters
gave instrumental music, and T. L.
Bannan gave fine talk on "Hiberni-
anism and the Day We Celebrate" It
will ever be remembered in Eveleth.

It would seem that at this time of year, especially when it is cloudy (which is a greater portion of the time) it is as necessary to have lights as at any time. And yet we find the electric light plant shut down, the machinery lying idle and the town in darkness. This looks a trife peculiar; and still there may be good reason for it. It may be that the proprietors are not receiving the encouragement they should; perhaps many of the patrons cut out the lights during the few long days; perhaps many are not taking lights that should. We know not if these be the req sons; but we do know thet Wran- gell's system of electric lights is one of the best on the coast, and is one of the greatest factors of ciyili- zation that has ever come to the town. It cost money to put it in; it costs money to maintain it, and if the people want it, they must show the operators that encourage ment which is due and in return must and will receive the service they are paying for.

The Indian Problem.
BY HARRY P #CORSER.

Is there an Indian problem in Alaska? Most emphatically, yes. 4 look at most of the ledgers kept by our business men, will reveal a condition. There is in them an evidence of debt, debt, debt. In many cases the amounts are sur prisingly high. Further, sad to re- late, the conditions do not materi- ally improve as we examine the ac- counts of most of those who come from our Indian schools. Boys and girls come from the schools with a smattering of white mans ways and education but not enough to make it possible for them to com- pete with the white man in his oc- equations.
 The jails also reveal another sad condition. There are altogether too many Indians in our jails.- The-number there is far out of pro- portion 10 the Indian population. >of course, we will admit that many times an Indian is put in jail when a white man for the same offense Is allowed to go free. Possibly this is due to the fact that the members of one race are always more ready to see faults in members of other races than in themselves; but in spite of all this there are too many criminals among the Indians.
 What are the reasons for these conditions? Why is it that so many Indians are not meeting suc- cessfully the demands of civiliza- ton upon them? The first reason is due to a condition which the wri- ter observed among the coal miners of Pennsylvania. The company stores there would trust the min- CTS, allowing them not only to mortgage their months wages, but to mortgage the wages of many months ahead. The result was that miners often said: What is the use of my saving or being econ- omical? can get what l want at the company store, whether l have fine money or not" Has it been
Alaska sentinel., 1905-07-13

far different with the Indians? The store that indiscriminately trusts the Indian not only injures itself by piling up its bad accounts, but is doing the Indian a material and moral injury.
 The next reason why so many Indians fail is Indian graft. Jamai- ca ginger selling, boot logging, and other forms of Indian graft, have done much to keep the Indian down. Enforce the law in spirit and letter, which stops graft.
 The third reason why we have an Indian question, is the Indian school. Nothing has been more noble than the motive back of the the Indian school. But has the Indian school served it's purpose? Has the Indian been taught those things which will better prepare him 10 earn his living in the coun- ,ry where his home is? Has he been taught how to log, how to handle engines and other machin- ery that is used in Alaska? Has ne been taught bodybuilding? Has he been taught the best methods of handling and curing fish? Has he been taught how to handle and utilize the deer skins, so that they would not be thrown away as they are now? The answer in most ev- cry instance is, "No." What is true about the large schools is much more true about the local schools. The government is about to erect d number of new school buildings in Alaska. What good will they do, unless there is more thorough study of what an Indian school should be? It is an interesting fact that in the twenty years of h. dian schools in Alaska, there has not been time in which the h. dian school teachers have been called together to consult about the better methods of doing their work. There has been no progress in the Indian schools.
 There is a need of more efficient management, and the citizens of Wrangell should not fail to call Mir. Churchill's attention to this, when he visits Wrangell this Fall. The Indian school question is one of the matters that he has been sent by the President to investi- gate. and let there be a united ef- fort to bring the needs of the In dian before him.

HLASKH SENTINEL
THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1905.

The people of the interior of AL aska are in dead earnest in the matter of pressing the needs of their section, in congress. SENTI- MEL believes there Is proper way to get our needs before the law makers and that is by appealing 10 those who through business must be the friends of this northland. From a business point of view the full congressional delegation from the state of Washington must most certainly be directly interested in the development and prosperity of Alaska. It Is this district that has caused, to a great extent at least, the rapid strides of Washington during the past few years, by fur nishing a market for the product nj the field as well as the mill. It i5 Washington that will profit by every step of advancement made in this district that will cause an additional demand for what they wish to sell Hence, it seems to us, that as the interests of the two sections are 90 closely allied, that our people can approach the repre- sentativcs of that state without any feeling q ,;midity. and lay be- fore th4m such matters as will be Instrumental in pushing us ahead and We believe they will give ear, not only from reciprocal point pf view. but because oi their sin cerc friendship. as well.
