On the contrary, there are about as
many Indians on the continent today
as there We're when Columbus discov-
cred us. The census reports show that
the Indians are making gains from de-
cade to decade. And, moreover, they
have been menaceG time and again
by enemies fully as insidious as mes
Gale.
The American Indian has picked up
and practiced at one time or another
all of the vices and many of the vir-
tues Of his white brother and, though
he Las found 1t difficult at times to
bear up under them, and has at times
apparently been borne down by them,
he has yet survived them.
He was threatened with extermina-
ton. so it was believed, by our mode
of living, whenever he took to it; by
our clothing, by our high hats, by now
and then risking bath, by smoking
our pipes, by riding on our railways,
by eating our pre.igested food, by
drinking our teas and coffees, by try
ing our cigarettes, by attending our
lecture courses.
He has been threatened with ex-
termination by chewing our tobacco,
by indulging in our cocktails, by
drinking the ,-gency highball, by play
ing croquet, by swinging in hammocks
and by doing real v,rk.
He has been threatened with exter-
mination by using our latest designs in
firearms, by interurban trolley, by
taking an interest in territorial poll
tics, and by patronizing the beer gar
dens and nickel theaters in progressive
western towns. But he has survived
them ell.
And when all is said, the Inter Ocean
concludes, a race that could outlive
the government whiskey Of thirty or
forty years ago is not likely to be ex-
terminated by any other kind of poi
son, no matter what form it takes.

DISCRIMINATING THE INDIAN.

The spread of the Mescale habit
among the Winnebago Indians in Wis
consin is occasioning alarm. The at
tention of the government has been
called to the matter by parties who
fear the determination of the race.
Mescale is a flower grown in Mexico
which is stewed into a tea and allowed
to cool, when 1t becomes a highly in
toxicating drink. If used to excess it
Is said to lead to imbecility. The Chi
eago Inter Ocean, however, believes
that while there is cause for regret
That the Winnebagos should have &C.
quired the habit, there is no cause for
alarm. The Inter cean does not be-
lieve that anything short of a tidal
wave will exterminate the red men. it
says:
The Indian has been in course of ex-
Termination by one means or another,
Or from one cause or mother, for cen
turtles, and yet he is not exterminated.

lake. All of your kind had better fol-
low your example"
In explanation of his remark later,
Judge Going said when he told the
woman to jump into the lake he sim
ply gave voice to sentiment which
is uppermost in the minds of people
who know that in certain women
there is no chance for reform"
The judge was undoubtedly right in
saying that he was voicing the senti-
ments of others when he advised the
woman to commit suicile. But wheth-
er he shared the sentiments or not,
there can be no excuse for his voicing
them from the bench. A Judge is
placed on the bench to enforce the
laws, not to counsel the breaking of
them. His work is not alone to pun
ish Offenders there is a greater SER
vice to be rendered in aiding in their
reformation.
II there were many judges who take
the Judge Going view, which, fortu-
nately there are not, there would be
little hope for the under dog once he
was drawn down by the current
