The Twilight of the Indian.

Boston Journal.
 Frederick Remington once painted a wonderfully impressive picture which he called The Twilight of the Indian. " Its lone figure was a Red Man patient ly guiding a blow through yellow soil. AS the eye rested upon it, the mind coniured into existence that other pie lure, ever attractive to the boy-a cir clc of horses with Apaches hanging behind their neckS. closing in upon q little group of whites defiantly Keeping up the fight to the last cartridge. The contrast knocked all the poetry out of the system
 Rut the difference is the gulf be- tween lawlessness and citizenship. the life of the nomad and a home. Con tact with the white man made an artl- flcial continuation of the tribal exist ence a matter of disastrous bargainfne with agents and worse addiction to poor whiskey The tide of immigra- lion precluded any natural continua- tion of the old life. So citizenship, ac- cording to Anglo-Sax standards was the only good thing open to the In- dian.
 It Is reassurfng to have proof now that such citizenship was best for him as for his new neighbors. From all The TeSeFVatloHS comes the same story He is overcoming his old aversion for working the ground. though he still refuses to mine 1t even for precious metals. He takes to stock raising nat urally He Is becoming a very fair farmer. An impressive illustration of this change was published recently in The St. Paul Dispatch as special cor respondenCe from the Deadwood dis trict. It ran. in part, as follows:
 Spring on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation this year means great ac- tivity among it's Indian residents, mum bering now about 1000 In all. Much of the seasons work is well under way and crops of corn, oats and potatoes in addition to the garden truck will be raised While the land is essential ly stock raising land, not being well adapted to farming on account of the dryness, yet more interest Is being ta- ken yearly in farming. and this year will sea probably one-third more land under actual cultivation. The Indians also are giving intelligent attention to the question of stock raising"
 This would seem an abundant justi- fication for the serious, earnest work in which the American Bureau of In dian Affairs has lately been engaged If 1t is the twilight of the Red Man, fl is, indeed, good for him to get out ot the glare of the sun.

are many Republicans. and among them some of the strongest men of the party, who have not lost sight of or abandoned the theories of govern ment upon which the Republic was founded. and under which it has achieved greatness. To such as they the centralizing policies and tenden- cies of the present administration are aLhorrent. They do not believe in the theory 'or practice of strong govern ment, foreseeing the dangers into which 1t leads and the certainty that if continued it 5:lust end in the over- throw of popular government and the installation of one-man rule. As a natural result of this feeling they are strongly opposed to the nomination of Roosevelt or any man of his selection. In short they want a President who will get back to first principles.
 But 1t is the tariff question which presents the most irreconcilable diff ferences of opinion and constitutes the greatest bar to Republican unification next year. The line between stand patters and revisionists is sharply drawn and strong men are on either side. On one side are rolitical leaders who maintain that the tariff should not be interfered with, at least until after another election. These men tion of the tariff would give offense to the powerful trusts and monopolies, and to offend them is to jeopardize the party's chances of success. It is not so much that they oppose revision, but that they fear the effects on those who do so much towards greasing the way for the party in the next campaign.
 And on the other hand there are equally strong and influential Republi- cans who insist on revision at once. tariff as sacred and are not afraid to revise it in the interest of fairness and justice. In New England especially this sentiment is powerful and almost overwhelming True 1t is largely a matter of self interest on the part of New England Republicans, because they want more liberal trade relations with Canada and other British possessions. But whether the sentiment arises from self interest or from a more patriotic motive 1t Is very strong. And this is equally true of much of the great and powerful West. They also feel the need of better facilities for trading with British American countries and they are equally insistent for revision. Tn short. if we may judge by their lan- guage some of the strongest Republi- can leaders in New England and the West will force revision if 1t is in their power to do so. regardless of any effect it may have on the party.
 All the various and perplexing fea- lures of the political situation are dis turbing the harmony and threatening the domination of the brethren on the otheE side of the fence, and giving the leadeF smany unquiet moments. And this Is why we insist that they have no room to twit Democrats on their lack of unity. They will do we'll if they can reconcile their own discordant elements and harmonize their own hairpulling combatants. without wor- rying over Democratic differences

posed denominations may we'll be ac- countries, as of equal value with any other coin of like denomination, no matter by which of these nations that coin may have been issued. and it's quality and weight guaranteed. Uni formity of weight and fineness, with economy in manufacturing might be further promoted by coining all In one or two hints.
 Such coinage would have the merit and easily understood relation to that unit of weight which has been most midely accepted and adopted by the people of the world It would possess the merit of having a constant, reason able relation to the metal which those peoples have agreed to take as their standard by which to measure values. Such coinage need never alter in value while gold remains the standard.
 Most civilized nations have accepted the metric system as being the most easily learned, simple and convenient of any in common use. If the coins of the proposed system should have uniform shape. size and design, ex- cepting only the imprint of the na- tions by which they might be issued the task of learning to use the money of all nations would be reduced to the lowest degree.

It is most insanitary to hang up clothes that have been worn in an un- ventilated cupboard as soon as they are taken off.

NOT EXACTLY FAIR.

The Boston Globe thinks the talk of running a Southern Democrat for President next year "is not, of course, a very serious suggestion" Why the "of course" we should be pleased to know The Globe will hardly charge that many Southern men who are ad- voeating such policy are joking. or that they are ignorant of Southern sentiment. Nor can we believe that such a paper as The Globe will deny the justice of the claim put up in be- half of this section. We have as good men as can be found elsewhere and we have the Democratic votes.
 And that reminds us that in one of his recent speeches. MT. Bryan observed that while a majority of the electoral votes came from the Southern States in 1904, a majority of the Democratic popular vote was cast In the North. This was not precisely fair and open on Mir. Bryan's part. Instead of saying "a majority of the electoral votes he should have said all of them, for he cannot be ignorant of the fact that every electoral vote received by Judge Parker came from the distinctively Southern States. Then, too, when he spoke of a majority of the Democratic votes being cast in the North, while he states the exact fact it sounds as though he wished to leave the impress sion that this Is a decisive argument against the nomination of one of our own statesmen.
 MT. Bryan does not need to be told that the popular vote counts nothing fin A presidential election unless 1t controls State and thus controls the electoral vote likewise. We are not now arguing in favor of Southern candidate but merely showing that the electoral votes to put a Democrat in 4he Presidency must come from the South. It really loo@ like taking the advantage of the South's Democratic loyalty to argue that a Northern man should be selected because the south will vote for him anyhow. 1t is true that our section will support the can didate but is not that strong reason why he should he one of us?
