James III . 0.
Although the words of the discern
ing James, quoted above, indicate that
it is well-nigh impossible for man TO
tame his tongue, they do not convey
anything like a suggestion that he
should not strive so to do. And this
striving should be incessant, for, as
James SO pointedly says the tongue~is
an unruly evil and is full of deadly
poison.
Everybody's experiences, If they be
honestly reviewed, will substantiate
these assertions. Every one knows, or
has a pretty good idea of the amount
Of misery and anguish that is caused
in this world by the cruel words which
fall SO glibly from sharp tongues. They
are the curse of men and women. the
promoters of much Of the unhappiness
among them.
Most people, when they get at all
angry or provoked at each other, set
their tongues busy saying mean things.
And 1t is really surprising how fluent
a talker, almost every one becomes
when the opportunity is presented for
the saying of mean and nasty things.
There is then never any hesitancy about
a choice OF words on the framing OF
expressions. They appear to bubble
forth without the slightest Of effort
They cut and wound with the sharp
ness of a steel blade. But the sore
made by such a weapon viii speedily
heal and leave little or nothing In the
way of a scar. With the wounds made
by tongues, 1t is different. Sometimes
they never heal. They keep gnawing
and gnawing away. aggravating the
original differences which prompted
them, until mountains are made out
of molehills, the friendships Of life
time blasted, or the happiness of home
wrecked.
Nobody could get along very we'll
without his tongue. But he would get
along much better if he was consid-
erably more careful as to how he uses
it, The people with biting tongues are
never very popular. They don't get
along exceedingly well at home,
Neither. do they when they are away
from home and busy with their work
in life. In fact, they soon become little
better than social outcasts, just as they
ought to be-. They miss the countless
pleasures of life that would be theirs
if their society were congenial. They
get the worst of it all around, and they
well deserve exactly that kind OF
treatment. In his Canterbury Tales,
the English poet Godfrey ChauceF
penned couple of lines that it would
be we'll for every individual to keep
in mind They follow;
The frste vertue, some, If thou wilt
lerne.
Is to restreyne and kepen vel thy
tonge."

Rich American Indians.

According to figures which have
been made public by the office of In
dian affairs, the total value of lands
belonging to the Indians is more than
$576, 100000, and the amount of ac-
tuaI cash held is more than $4,000
600.
The popular opinion is that the In
dams are q rapidly disappearing race,
and that they will soon become extinct.
Figures do not bear out this idea, and
the Indian office statistics show that
the birth rate last year was 3S.4 to the
thousand, while the death rate was
only 31,2. The Indian population of
the country is about 100000, scattered
through 26 states. OF 1877 reservations.
with an aggregate area twice the size
of the state of New York. Poor Los"
per capita wealth is approximately
$2,130; that for other Americans is
only little more than 300.
The lands owned by the Indians are
rich in natural resources of all kinds.
Many of the tribes own some of the
best timber land there is in the United
States. The value of the agricultural
lands also runs far up in the millions.
Much OF the land in the various reser-
Vations is valuable for oil and gas and
coal deposits. The ranges support
about 100000 sheep and cattle owned
by lessees, bringing in a revenue of
more than $4,000 to the various
tribes, and besides provide feed for
more than 100000 head of horses,
cattle, sheep, and goats belonging to
the Indians themselves. Practically
States are on Indian lands. In addi-
ton to this wealth in natural resources
and in funds. the Indian haa appro-
priated for him about $15,000,G00 a
year by congress for education and i'm
rovement.-Chieago Record Herald.

And when he had a happy thought he

The Spanish Commissioners in
their memorandum have in diplo-
matte words expressed their surpri-
Sc at our want of ma gnanimity to
a defeated country. How does the
case appear in the light Of what has
been stated? We light have deman-
ded from Spain indemnity in money
for the cost of the war, which, even
if no unforeseen contin gencies occur,
will have amounted to $240, 900, 900
at the close Of the present calendar
year, to say nothing Of further ex-
penses which will be required under
the laws of the Untitled States exls-
ting al the outbreak of the. war.
We. mi ght have required compensa-
ton for our injuries and losses, natlo
nal as we'll as Individual, prior to the
outbreak of the war. Yet we have
asked for no money. From the relln-
quishment Of Spanish sovereigntyln
Cuba we derive no compensation.
Porto Rico, Guam and the PhiEppi-
mes will bring burdens as we'll as be-
nefits, and regarded simply as IN
demnity, will be grossly inadequate
to compensate the United States for
the mere pecuniary?cost of the war;
and yet, in spite of all this, for the
sake of peace, we propose to make il
beral concessions. Can we be justly
charged with abuse of our opportu-
mites, or with taking undue advan-
tage of the misfortunes of an advlr-
sary? The American Commissioners
can perceive no ground for such a
char ge. On the contrary, tdey think
that the Spanish Commissioners
should accept our terms at once,
and restore peace between the two
countries
Even if the United States were
disposed to permit Spanish sover-
eientv to remain over the PhiGppi
mes, and to leave to Spanish the res
toration of peace and order in the
islands, could it now in honor do sol?
The Spanish Commissioners have,
themselves, in an earlier stage of
these negotiations, spoken OF the
Filipinos as our allies. This is not a
