 The contemptuous cpithets of the poor naked and drunken Indians" often habitually applied to these people ny those who know but little pr nothing about them. And these cpithets some times correctly applied; bat only so to those classes of Indian society who. to the shame and disgrace of civilized people, have been induced to these conditions by the iniquitous teachings of white men, who, with the aid of rum and whisky, have introduced dissipation and vices amongst them, which lead directly to poverty and nakcdness and diseases which end in their destruction.

Balkan War Stimulates Emigration

 The large number emigrants who left Ger many during the latter part of last year has given rise to considerable speculation and the natural conclusion seems be that them departed from German shores for the purpose of escaping military service in the European which for q long time has seemed
 The National Zetune, d national liberal organ published here gives the following view of the sit uation:
 The fear of a European has had result considerable increase in the number of German emigrants. A special emsrant steamer has just been put in service at Bremerhaven.

An Impossible Task

Army officers generally. in fact, almost without exception have recommended restoration of the army canteen. But in vain have they repre- sented to congress that the displacement of it by the dirty fringe of low dives about army posts has tended to the demoralization of the army has increased drunkenness and the number assertions
 General Wotherspoon, the assistant chief O staff-vye believe. is the first recognize the hopelessness of the fight for the restoration fo the canteen He calls upon army officials and the friends the army wasting their energies in behalf the canteen and to work in other d- rections the highest efficiency of the army.
 Whatever may be the private opinion majority of congressman the subject of the canteen, majority ever be brought to vote for its restoration Probably majority of the congressmen who voted abolition did believe that they were doing the best thing for the army and probably many of the earnest opponents of the canteen did not think that the personal interests of the soldiers would be served by it's abolition.
 We recall that during debate the ques- tion, when the friends of the canteen predicted the demoraIizing influences that would take its place their arguments with the state ment that if those predictions should be fulfilled, it were better that the soldiers should be demor- alized than that the nation should continue countenance the liquor traffic by being engaged in it.
 That sentiment has been modified and never will be. We do not mean to say that it is in the majority In fact We believe is the sentiment of much less than majority. but the minority is SO aggressive, much in earnest and so well organized that congress will never disregard
 If it was impossible to preserve the canteen it would be much more impossible to restore it.
