Child Attacked by an Eagle.

The fve-year-old son of Nero
Charles, a farmer living not far
from Coweta, 1. T., was attacked
by a large gray eagle a few days
ago, and narrowly escape with his
life, after being carried fifty yards
by the fierce bird. So far as known,
this is the first time in the history
of the Indian Territory that child
has actually been picked up and
carried by an eagle.
The child, with others, was play
ng in field on its fathers farm
near Jackson Ferry, on the Virdi
girls river, eight miles northeast of
Coweta, when the eagle swooped
down upon him, catching the child S
clothing W b its talons and starting
off. The screams of the other
children apparently frightened the
bird and, finding that it could not
make much progress with the child,
dropped him fifty yards from the
place where he was picked up.
The child weighs fifty pounds, and
at no time did the eagle succeed in
getting more than eight or ten feet
above the ground with him. The
child was not Injured, save for a
few bruises and scratches. when
his parents found him. The eagle
was so frightened that it made no
attempt to strike its talons into the
child nor beat him with its wings,
or the child might have been kill
ed.
1t has been known for some time
that there have been two eagles
nesting on the Verdigris river not
far from Jacl1son's Ferry. About
ten days ago, a farmer named Kirk
bride, who lives near the ferry,
killed one of the eagles with rife.
They were very cunning and it was
impossible to get close enough to
kill them with shot, it was devour-
ing pig which it had killed.
Since the child was attacked by
the eagle another one has been kill
ed, and it is believed that these two
were the only ones on the river
large and fierce enough to cause
trouble. Each of the two killed
was very large, measuring over
seven feet from tip to tip of wings.
There are a number of eagles
around Keystone, but they are not
so large as the two killed here, and.
so far as known, they have never
committed any depredations. This
fall is the first time the eagles have
made their appearance in this sec
tion-Fort Worth Record.

abled him TO make some valuable obser-

the text Of a part of which is as follows:

A TiTesOme Inquiry.

Senator Pettus fatigue over the
Brownsville inquiry is shared by a good
ly portion OF the American public, we
have no doubt It may be damnum
absque injuria, as the venerable Alabama
Senator picturesquely describes 1t. but II
is certainly a proceeding without pur-
pose. Nothing that the committee could
do would be of the least consequence,
even II its findings were adverse to the
theory that the negro troops, or some OF
them, shot up the Texas town; and a
finding that the President was correctly
Informed when he took summary action
in the case would hardly serve the ends
Of those Who insisted on having an in
vestigatlon made.
Senator Foraker has conducted what
may be termed a clever technical defense
Of the negro troops without bringing 10
light any conclusive evidence In support
Of the ingenious theories upon which the
defense has been predicated. The inquiry
has. IN fact, developed some direct and
positive evidence that the shooting was
done by black troops-eyidence Of eye
witnesses that, for some unknown reason,
escaped the government investigators.
Against such direct testimony expert
opinion that certain bullet could not
have been fired from particular gun, OF
that the identity Of the actual weapons
used cannot be fixed, avaIls little. Taken
as a whole. the inquiry tends to establish
the truth Of the theory that the shooting
was done by a small coterie Of soldiers.
Of whose purpose and actions the re
mainder OF the garrison may have been
ignorant, though this seems improbable
except as 10 one or two.
As this was the theory upon which
President Roosevelt acted when be dis
missed the members Of the three com
panies from the service, the whole matter
remains Just where It was al the begin
ming. The President may have been
hasty. or may have done some Of the
soldiers an injustice, but his action was
quite within his acknowledged powers, and
the Senate committee cannot remedy the
alleged injustice, or restore single
soldier to the ranks. That is wholly an
Executive matter.

Newspaper Recruits for Revision

Strange phrases are those we read in
the New York Tribune, which used to
see visions Of British gold and the insid-
ious hand Of the Golden Club in every
proposal for the modification Of the pro-
tective tariff system. A tariff must be
changed 20 meet changing conditions"
'myopic standpatter,' "Dingley rates out

tectionism ruthlessly brushed aside And

tective Tariff League. now confesses its
belief that the Republican party ought

The Tribune excuses its attack on the
Dingley tariff by the plea that there has
been a radical change in the conditions of
industry, trade and commerce. The
present tariff has been an unqualified
success" we are told, but it is out of
date. That an unqualified success should
ever become out of date is an unhappy
admission, for It raises the suspicion that
there must be something wrong about

England in India.

There has been much seeking, among
English statesmen, for a reason for the
steady growth OF discomfort among the
natives of Hindustan. II is beyond the
bounds Of probability that ever again will
there be an organized uprising against
British rule in India on anything like the
scale OF the Sepoy mutiny, but there is
much evidence of the existence Of a
growing feeling Of alienation which is
being fostered by some Of the most in
luential native politicians.
English rule in India has always been
rather a marvel; It has been, on the
whole. strikingly good rule, and the
country has been exploited for its own
benefit. not for the benefit Of the ruling
class. Public works vastly bettering the
country are carried on. employing native
laborers who otherwise would be idle; for
years an admirable system of education
has been in effect: native customs and
religious observances have been inter
fered with as little as possible. and the
necessary work of government. munich

years with efficiency and economy

much louder now than for many years.
Some students Of the situation affect TO
find the reason in Lord Kitchener's ad-
ministration of the army. The Friend
Of India, one of the oldest newspapers
in India. says that Kitchener "has con-
verted the loyalty of the native army
into disaffection," and II demands his re-
call, "on the ground that his arrogance
and lack Of familiarity with the peculiar
conditions Of Indian life are endanger-
ing the safety Of the Indian Empire
One feels that there must be some ex-
aggeration here. for Kitchener has shown
himself able to handle situations which
to other men were impossible. His lack
Of familiarity with the Egyptian charac-
ter did not prevent him from quicting
the Soudan. nor did his lack Of knowl-
edge of Boer nature prevent his doing
much toward retrieving the mistakes Of
his predecessors in South Africa.

NO ADVICE WANTED.
Mr.. Bryan Has No Use for Opinions
of the Opposition.

From William J. Bgans Commcner.
Il is interesting to read the advice
which Republicans are now giving TO the
Democrats. It recalls the early months of
1904 The Democratic party was at that
time the recipient Of a great deal Of IN
solicited advice from Republicans, and Il
was all along the same line. The Demo
Gratis were assured that their defeats were
attributable 10 radiCalism and that they
to conservative doctrines. They were not
promised victory-of course not-but the
Republican editors were so anxious to
have a strong. virile organization 70 fight
that We were assured that the Republican
party was becoming careless because Il
had no effective opposition and that il
would really be good for the country to
have the Democratic party almost but not
quite. strong enough TO win a victory It
would keep the Republican party on it's
good behavior, make it careful about its
conduct. &c. This kind of advice was
given in unstinted measure, and it was
followed. We had an en1inently respecta-
bic candidate; he had the confidence Of
the business interests. and his campaign
was conducted upon thoroughly conserva-
tive lines. and then the Republicans sat
back and laughed at the success of their
scheme as they counted up a majority al
most too large for figures.
Now the same game is being tried again.
The Republican editors are again pleading
for the Democratic party; they are weep
ing over its supposed deCTeptitude. Well,
il is bad enough fer the Republican editors
10 advise US. There is possibly some ex-
cuse for them. The President is not TAX
ing their advice IN the management Of the
Republican party. and they feel that they
are entitled 70 advise some organization,

LAWS SLOW PROGRESS.
/ Difficulty Of Netting out Exact JUS
tice Under Criminal Code.

Brand Whiti0ck in Evsryhody's Magazine.
Many men in prison are suffering for
the sins Of the judge that condemned
them quite as much as for their own. The
magistrate has no means Of knowing the
really significant things about the man
before him; what strange, occult, myster-
ious currents Of human will or fate, NOV
ing in the mans mind or I'm the minds Of
his ancestors. impelled him To his deed,
he has no means Of knowing how far the
man has been the prey Of economic forces
that the judge does not understand, or
what hidden physical defect may have
created moral defect or obliquity in him.
All the judge knows is that i'm a certain
book il is printed that between minimum
and maximum limitations there is a mys-
terious number of years that must be pre-
scribed for burglary, another number for
larceny of a sum over SIS, another for
stealing a horse, another for forging a
note, another for firing a dwelling; or
that there are so many days for larceny
of a sum under So. so many for getting
drunk, for creating a disturbance, and so
on.
II would be just as sensible for doctors
TO say that a man with typhoid fever
mast go to a hospital for two years. a
man with smallpox seven years. a man
with appendicitis three years. Il man with
a boil thirty days, a man with a car
buncle ninety days, q man with a cold
ten days. and so on. When a man is
cured Of a physical disease, he is dis
charged from a hospital. when a man is
cured OF n moral disease, he should be
discharged from a prison-that is, assum-
ing that man could ever be cured Of a
moral disease in a prison, which, OF
course. he cannot-as society itself admits
by continuing the treatment when he does
get out. But then the law on the criminal
side, has made no progress in 210 years.
and so cannot be compared with medicine.
