Five Tribes Bill a Law.

Washington, April 27.-The bill dis posing of the affairs of the Indians in the Indian territory known as the Five Tribes bill," became law Thursday. It was signed by President Roosevelt at noon. While the Five tribes bill protects the mineral lands of the Indians, it practically bars the white farmer from owning agricultural lands. as the restrictions are not re- moved. The refusal of congress to re- move these restrictions has been a great blow to the progress of the In- dian territory. It was to correct this legislation that the amendment to the appropriation bill was introduced Thursday by Senator Long.

ANTIQUATED NOTIONS.

Those Kausas City m nisters who likened San Francisco to Soaom aud Gomorrah and inter- preted the recent earthquake as a visitation Of divine wrath are antiquated by several centuries. Geology claims that the coastal range along the Pacific slope is the youngest on the earth's sur face and is still growing. The Pacific coast, itself, is said to be the line of weakness of the earth's crust, and tae quakes which have been felt there intermittenly foi a number of years would seem to indicate that the geologists are approximately right in their esti. mates. Certain 1t is that that To- cality Is tue zone of seismic dis. turbances, aud 1t may we'll be believed that the same disturb ances would have occurred if the country were desert waste, in. habited by no such sinful creatures as man.

GENEROSITY AND CRAFT.

The Kansas City Star refuses
 positively to be impressed with
 the munificent philanthropy of
 Mr. Rockefeller or Mir. Carnegie
 in their donations of $100,0 GOO to the sufferers of San Francisco. The Star asserts that both Car negie and Rockefeller will make lot of money utyof the rebuild ing of the city Tn which construc- ton structural steel in immense quantities will be used. Thanks to tariff graft the people who rebuild San Francisco vii. have to pay ten dollars more for that steel than do the foreign con- sumers of that product.
 If European city had been destroyed by earthquake or by any other cause it could be rebuilt, so far as structural steel is in- volved, at ten dollars less per ton than San Francisco. The tariff is a corking fine thing except when it hits you in the eye.
 Now, it was mighty generous thing for Rockefeller and Carne- gie to have contributed $100, 900 apiece to the relief of the earth quake victims. But if 1t is fact that out of this misfortune they will reap vast profits far in excess of the amount they have contrib uted the charity of the twain will lose its beauteous complexion. It would be decent thing on the part of both If they furnished material to be used iu the re- building of that city, not at cost, Get us not ask too much of An drew and John D. but just fair profit. They might sell their product to the people of San Francisco for the same margin that they sell it to foreign mar kets now. "That would be fair enough, wouldn't it ?'-Joplin Globe.

THE GIGANTIC STEEL GRAF I
 IN SAN FRANCISCO.

The greatest material factor Tn the rebuilding of San Francisco on the plans proposed aud made necessary by the city. liability to earthquakes, structural steel.
 The tariff on this commodity will subject the people of this suffering city 10 the robbery of millions of dollars because of the extortion permitted by the gov ernment and practiced by the Steel trust and by the lesser manufacturers, who profit by the prices maintained by the trust.
 The profits made through the existence of the tariff constitute gigantic graft. These profits, over and above the legitimate margin, are approximately the same as the tariff.
 The tariff on steel is $l0 per ton.
 A faint conception of the steel graft in the rebuilding of San Francisco may be gained by an illustration. The Long building at Tenth street and Grand ave nue, requires 1900 tons of steel. This means a graft tribute to the Steel trust, by this one builder alone, of $lo,000.
 What do the people of thi, country think of the crime of pluudering in the name of the law a stricken city of millions upon millions of dollars to enrich au insatiate trust, and to manu- facture pseudo philanthropists?
