Another Chanqe.

Residents of the District of Columbia
are somewhat agitated over the pro-
posal to substitute a single COM
missioner for the present board of
three commissioners now conducting
the affairs of the District Changes in
the government of the District of
Columbia have been frequent In the
early days it was the custom of every
new Congress to provide something
new in the way of commissioners,
superintendent, mayors, charters and
municipal legislative bodies. Some
Congresses could not forego the pleas
ure of trying more than one expert
| ment. Sometimes residents of
the district voted, but more
often they did not. Finally
Congress provided that the President
appoint governor who should he SUBJ
ported in his work by legislature
| elected by the people. This was fol-
lowed by the present form of govern
ment which was adopted in 1878. Suf-
forage was abolished and government
| placed in the hands of three commits
sioners, two civilians, and an officer of
the engineer corps. At first it was not
necessary for the civilian members of
this commission to be residents of the
District, but later law was enacted
making it necessary for them to have
resided in the District three years.
Some Washingtonians believed that
II the one man rule is adopted that it
VIII be followed by a return to voting
within the limits of the District. Con-
corning this impending change Henry
Litchfield West, commissioner of the
District, says, 1.-The picture which is
presented to the mind by the thought
Of the revival of suffrage is not a
pleasant one. Every resident of the
city who lived here during the voting
period will recall election days filled
with riot and disorder, when it was not
safe for women to appear upon the
streets;-and, last but not least, the
power which was exercised by ward
politicians whose selfish ends were the
inspiration of their action" He then
goes on to say that without doubt
elections of the present day would be
conducted with more propriety than in
1870, but nevertheless the Inauguration
of such regime would be step
backward. He points out that the pure
ly local government would deprive the
Icapital of federal interest and financial
support, and that unless the one com

The Indians.

census of the Indians now living
in the United States discloses the
fact that during the last twenty years
thew have increased from 100000 to
300, 900. In view of the repeated
statement that the Indians were, dy-
ing out this information is decidedly
interesting. It tends to prove that
the Indians are not only holding their
own but are in fact increasing. It is
believed that there are as many In
dams in this country now as there
were 300 years ago. At that time the
Indians lived by hunting, supplement-
ed by a little agriculture. They
roamed over vast areas, fought with
lneighboring tribes and were of
proved upon by disease, thus keeping
the total much smaller than it ap-
peared to be to the early settlers, who
thought the number large because
they so greatly outnumbered the
newcomers.
History tells us that the district
now comprising Kentucky, Tenenes-
see, and neighboring states was not
inhabited by Indians at the time it
was settled. The reason therefor was
that no tribe was permitted to enjoy
the excellent hunting facilities there
for anv length of time on accornt Of
the jealousy of the neighboring
tribes. There were several such
areas in the country, reducing the
areas tenanted, to a minimum. The
advance of the white men across the
country, from East to West drove the
Indians into a smaller territory and
for time they appeared more numer-
Gus than ever before, but as the white
population increased the proportion of
pure blooded Indians decreased until
20 years ago there seemed to be dam
ger that they would in time be ex-
terminated. Since that time they
have gradually taken up the COM
forts of civilization, have familiarized
themselves with the white mans
ways, have educated themselves and
have prospered. If the Indians, as
race, ever disappear, the indications
now are that it will be by assimila-
ton rather than by determination.

The Express and Advertiser.

The Portland Daily Advertiser which
has furnished the news to the people
Of Portland and nearby cities and
towns for hundred years, ceased tt
issue as distinct publication Dec. i
and became a part of the Portland
Evening Express. The Advertiser has
been a tremendous power for good in
Portland and has numbered as mem
bers of its staff some of the stronges,
men of tho century.
The Express. while younger, has been
popular since it's inception. AS ii
gained in strength it soon became evil
dent that but one afternoon paper
could enjoy any considerable measure
of prosperity in Portland. The present
day standard demands present day
methods with the attendant heavy in
vestment of capital. The field at Port
land is large enough for but one even
ing paper of that character For that
reason the Advertiser was purchased
by the Express and will, henceforth
be issued as a part of it.

best wishes to the new union.
