commissioner Of Indian affairs the lands allotted

their individual moneys to the superintendent of

others to whom Indian legislation is famar-this means
the first step in raid Indian property not necessarily
by any superintendent by any official or even
group of officials but by the political thieves who are
constantly the alert for cessation of govern

cupidity on the Indians.
The Hastings bill is the fifth sixth attempt at doubt

this year The Five Civilized Tribes include about 900
individuals who not competent to handle their own

THE FINANCIAL CENTER.

With the shifting Of the burden and profits of the
world money changing to New York it is easy to see
how many persons join former Senator Burton, OF
Ohio in his belief that New York will, after the war; be
enabled to retain this distinction Once achieved 1T
should be easily held. Or if not easily held, 1t would
that Americans realizing the advantages OF their
central position and possessing the faculty OF getting and
retaining what they want if they want badly enough
would at any cost hold their position While European
nations have been qualreng among themselves America
has made the most of her opportunity to establish mar
kets and financial connections which should enable her to
keep for her that which European nations cast aside
while they fought.
But will New York remain the financial centera
Very probably This position carries with it too
much that New York has not 1t carries with it, for in
stance, the duty Of establishing and maintaining fnan

to have New York think so for while. Great Britain

YOU would support for governor instead
of being candidate yourself" the gov
ernor was asked.
Yes, thousand of Them" Governor
Alexander replied. Every Democrat
in Idaho is statesman and there are
lots of Democrats
Governor Alexander praised highly
the work of Jerome Day Oh the north
and south railroad and intimated that
in the near future there would be IN
announcement of interest in connection
with this work.
Jerome Day has spent $500 to $4,000
from his own pocket already on this
work and probably will spend as much
more. he said we look for some re-
suits from Mr.. Days recent trip to
Chicago to interest capitalists and rail-
road builders there in constructing part
of the line, but it wouldn't do to an
nounce any names yet
There is nothing that the men who

N. j. Disaster

Wilmington, Del, Jan. 1o.-Foilowing
the explosion at the Du Pont powder
plant at Carney's Point, N. j., early
today in which three workmen were
killed, two mills blew up at the Upper
Hagley yard near here this afternoon.
In one Of the latter accidents one
orkman was slightly burned. The three
explosions within one day have had
the effect of making the Secret Ser
vice and police departments of the Du

A press mill blew up at o'clock this
afternoon. 1t was at this explosion
that the workman was hurt Ninety
minutes later mixing mill near the
press mill also exploded. It contained
500 pounds of powder. No one was in
jured.
The disaster at Carneys Point was
due to an explosion of smokeless pow
der, while at the upper Hagley yard it
was black powder that went off. While
expressing the belief that all the blasts
were due to accidents, officials Of the
company have issued instructions for
searching investigation
