It is something of relief to find an extremely rapid Republican newspaper up North talking sense on a very per- picking question. even if 1t starts off a little misleading. as does The Buffalo News when it says:
 The negro question doesn't disturb the North to any extent and 1t is the settled idea of the rest Of the United States that the South should have time and a free hand to try the. experiment before making 1t g matter of national concern and legislation.
 The News is not entirely accurate when it asserts that the negro question does not disturb the North, because ! it is causing them trouble and worry in various portions of the North and West. Especially Is this true of the politicians and ofice-ssekers. The coll ored vote is an important asset to the Republican Party up there. and to re- tain and control 1t is a constant task More than one Congressional chair now occupied by a Republican would have a Democratic occupant if the negro voters should transfer their allegiance l from the party which has practically controlled them so long. The action of | the President in reference to the dis | asperated the colored contingent very much. and that has added no little to the importance of "the negro ques- tion." The News will have cause to be more worried over that question than 1t assumes to be at present, if we are not mistaken
 But The News talks good sense and fairness when it says athe south should have time and free hand" to work 1 out this question Unfortunately. that | is just what the South does not have. | There are too many marplots up North who not only want 1t settled at once, 1 but insist on having controlling hand in settling it. We firmly believe that the Southern people could settle this perplexing question amicably and with | justice to both races if it were not for men of the Crumpacker brand who in- | sIst on throwing frebrands on all oc- casions. We hear much from the North i by way of denunciation of our Tillmans and vardamans. but they would soon find their occupation gone if 1t were | not that the red rag is continually shaken at them by those who design edly raise bitterness and hard feeling. Let The News convert the Northern people to it's views as expressed in the above paragraph and matters win work out right in the end.

Nor11Tmn fr rr

correspondent of The Indianapolis Star reyaves the oft-toid tale that the American Indians are the descendants of the lost tribes of Israel This the- ory has often been advanced by various students ana ethnolosists. who have found words and phrases which led them to form the opinion that they had solved i've great problems. one of these was the mystery of the disap- pearance of these lost tribes. and what finally became of them. Much spec ulatlon has been indulged in and a great deal has been written in the ef- fort to solve the problem. but without avail.
 The other mystery that Is yet un- solved Is to find the origin of our In dians. Did they originate on this con tinent, or were they immigrants at some remote period from some portion of the Old worId7 No enc has yet arisen who could settle the question, and 1t may be that it wdI never be settled As to their having descended from the Jews. The Star argues so well that we copy its comments as follows:
 But there are other facts besides mere similarity of words to be consid- cred The lost tribes disappeared about had an established written IanrSaEe. with an alphabet No such thing ex- lsted in America even among the Az tees, tees of rbn MeFic9; and the 2uiehuas of were the uuipus, or knetted cord re- cords of Peru, and hierogfyphics or pie ture writing. No such thing as an all At that time the Jews were well ad- vanced in the arts, as appears by the accounts of the building Of the temple and utensils. No material trace of such civilization was found among the North American Indians. The Aztecs ana ouichuas made cloth of cotton and the worked In gold, silver and copper. but they did not work Iron and steel. It was their ignorance of these metals that made them an easy prey to the
 It Is manifestly impossible that any considerable body of people should have made such 2 journey as would have been required for migration of the lost tribes to America without the aid 1 of domestic animals. for food and for beasts of burden. But no one of their domestic animals was found in this country The horse. the COW, the sheep and the goat were all unknown to America. The Indians Of North Amer | ica had no domestic animals except their wolf-dogs. but those of South America used the Hama as a beast of burden.
 It is not conceivable that a people should have so completely lost all traces of civilization as would have been the case if the Indians were descended from the ten lost tribes. Nations and races sometimes retrograde, but not in the lines Of arts and sciences that are useful in their daily life.

AN EXPLANATION.

Owing to the editor having to make
hurried trip to Sites this week, the
Mining News reaches its readers little
late and in bad form this week. This
statement is made only for the benefit
of the critics. If it is accepted by them
it surely will be satisfactory to the
editor who made the one hundred-mile
journey on the hurricane deck of a
cayuse, in two days, and hasn't been
able yet to tell what portion of his
anatomy gives him the most complaint.

the irrepressible John Danforth is get
ting ready to put up mill on the
Aziscoo Group. He has a ditch sur
veyed out of Crooked creek that gives
him head of Sc feet. His ditch will
carry ten cubic feet per second and will
develop 81 effective horse power. Mr.
Danforth is now putting up cabins, shops
and other buildings for the men.
AT THE TIwAKA MINE.
At the Tiwaka mine, mile northwest
of Dixie, the mill is shut down awaiting
the arrival of repairs and a concentra-
tor. AS soon as they arrive Mr. Burke,
one of the owners, states that it is the
intention to take out the plates and nse
only the concentration. An average
sample of the Tiwaka gave $50 per ton,
and a concentrating test concentrated
twenty-four tons to one.
CROOKED CREEK PLACER MINES.
Col. VIM. H. Dodge, the superintend-
ent of the Crooked Greek Placers, has
force of men building reservoir just
above the head of the ditch covering
their ground. The dam will be 225 feet
long and 10 feet high and will food
about forty acres.
