CUSTOM OF YUMA INDIANS.
Burning the Dead One Of Their In.
tersstina Ceremonies

Burning the dead as observed
among the Yumas is interesting. The
body is first thoroughly wrapped and
then placed In logs and brush over a
hole In the ground A bed OF logs is
built up at each side and at the head
OF the bier. which is next covered over
and strewn about with dry fagots
The flames are applied and. while they
burn. the clothing, blankets. etc. OF
the deceased are added to the FIRE
The horse OF the dead man. however
is not burned among the Yumas. as Is
the custom with some Indians. \ day
or two after death the wlgwam OF the
deceased, II an adult, is burned. the
rest OF the family then going to live
with some relative. The Yumas make
a great show OF sorrow over their
dead. Later they are never mentioned
at all. The medicine men are still
largely In control among the Yumas
and the government, makes no attemp.
to Interfere. Usually their patients
grow sicker. so that they proclaim
them doomed to die and their proph.
ecy will almost always come true.

Gen. Scott's Plans.
Gen. Scott was a man of broad, COM
prehensive mind, who had devoted his
life to the study of war on a grand
scale. He had proved himself easily
the first of our commanders in the War
of 1912. He had entered it as Lieu
tenant-Colonel, but fought with such
gallantry and skill that he was promot-
ed to Brigadier-General. Then he or
ganized and drilled three brigades ac-
cording to the French tactics, which he
had carefully studied, and with such
rigid thoroness that he was able at the
stubbornly-contested battles of Chippe-
wa and Lundy's Lane to do what no
European troops had ever been able
to-actually push the best British regi-
ments off the field with the bayonet. I'm
mediately after the war he went to
Europe, and enjoyed the rare privilege
of full and free conversations with the
great captains of war who had been
formed under Napoleon's own hand
The American Army, of which he be-
came Communicated in 1871, re-
ceived the full benefit of ell his profess
siona1 knowledge. In the judgment of
military critics his campaign against
Mexico was almost faultless, and placed
him among the greatest captains of his
day.

ton and extension. Between these two
radical and reckless extremes was the
great mass of conservative, practical
law-regarding people. A clear majority
of these, while holding slavery to be
wrong, believed that careful regard
should be paid to the rights acquired
under its long recognition by the laws;
that it should not be interfered with in
the States where 1t existed. except by
the steady march of public sentiment.
but that it should not be allowed to eX-
tend beyond those States. Undoubtedly
this was the entirely just and proper
view at the time. and 1t was the one
which was exprest by the election of
Abraham Lincoln. If 1t had not been
for the mad course of the Southern ex-
tremists slavery would have died out in
the South as quietly and uneventful1y
as it had in New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. From the day of the
election of Abraham Lincoln his sup
porters neglected no opportunity to
earnestly declare that they had no in
tention of interfering with slavery where

Feb. IL, 1861, the House of Repre-
sentatives past the following resolution
by unanimous vote:
Resolved, That neither Congress nor
the people or Government of the nom
slaveholding States have constitutional
right to legislatc upon or interfere with
slavery in any of the slaveholding
States"
This view became absolutely neces-
sary as a matter of policy as well as
good faith. in order to hold the Border
States to the Union and satisfy an i'm
mense number of Democrats who We're
exceedingly hostile to the clamorous
Abolitionists, and greatly feared that
the Administration would be committed
to IAN Abolition crusade"
AS soon as the Union troops entered
the South the question of the treatment
of the slaves became as pressing as it
