THE INDIAN OFFICE.

gress is an open question.
The present situations on the
Italian and Russian fronts are: of
such character as to bring anxiety
to the government, and undoubt-
eddy the administration will urge
much legislation upon our foreign
relations, and If the past. session
of Congress and it's delays is any
criterion, we may expect repeti-
ton of delays, or if that is too
strong a word, caution may be
substituted.
Congress on the whole will stand
by the President, but it may also
be expected to give some lee-way
to the element in the Senate that
placed obslru ctions in the way at
the last session. q
If discussions many and constant
are again to occur then we may
look to see but little legislation
upon internal affairs, And espec-
tally do we fear that the Indian
will be neglected. The Commit
tees upon Indian appropriations
will be likely to depart but little
from the annual routine, and of
new legislation there will, we fear,
be but little.
As our readers know, we sup
port the Curtis bill which pro-
yides for the reorganization of the
Indian Office.
This bill ought to be taken up
and passed but we fear that owing
to>the press 81 othes and naopsG
weighty affairs it stands but little
chance of becoming law. Is d.
The last Council of the Mime
sofa Chippewas passed. resolu-
ton demanding the total abolition
of the Indian office. II :"
This demand has its supporters
in Dr. Montezuma and other In
dian gentlemen of prominent
standing.
And if we understood the editor
in chief of the Quarterly Journal,
the organ of the Society of North
American Indians, he and others
connected with the Society desire
to see the Indian Office remain as
it is but with it's red tape cut So
as to admit freer play in admins
tration.
Between the many sides of the
dilemma it looks now as if Con-
gress might take advantage of the
diversity Of opinions among the
Indians themselves ard finally
pigeon-hole the Curtis bill.
We trust however that the In
dian Senator, Mr.. Curtis, will not
allow his offspring to die, and that
he will keep it to the front so that
though it fails to become law at
this session of Congress its spirit
will live and become reincarnate
at the following session.
Our present belief is that the
one man governance is wrong.
Care of the Indian as at present
conducted is an anachronism,
methods are out of date; rules and
regulations belong to periods of
the distant past. To govern the
Indians as whole by the regula-
tons of past decades is as much of
a farce as would be an attempt to
rule the Temperatures of the
Christian body by the civil laws
of the Jewish people of thousands
of years ago.
And when one stops to think of
I it. Commissioner Sells is not the
ruler, as chiefs of divisions decide
so he acts, and the chiefs them
selves are in the main but echoes
of the past, and these echoes
materializing in the army of civil
service as maintained in the Indian
office spell humiliation to the pro-
gressive Indian, and habbiness to
the Indian who is willing to re-
main always the infant in arms.

Loyalty of Farmers.

Taking the country by and large, the
farmers are as one In support OF the
government In its war preparations.
Without regard to political preferences
they join in recognizing President VIII
son as the leader of the country and
it's people.
This is in happy keeping with illus
trious precedonts, from the days when
the "embattled farmers stood at Lex
ington down to civil war times, when
bred who left the pillow and the corn
rows at their country's call.
The few exceptions doubtless may be
traced to Organization" moveme nts IN
which, under the plea of giving the
farmer his rights, there has been re-
peated the age-old trick of arraying
class against class, with the expecta-
ton on the part Of the fomentors Of
class hatred that they will profit
thereby.
Some of the farmers, naturally. have
shown a disposition to inveigh against
wheat at s2.20, on the assumption that
conditions may ensue which would le-
ultimately dictate a higher price. AS
a rule, however. the tillers Of the soil
are satisfied. They have enough OF
gambling in their annual conflict with
storm and sunshine, floods and drouth.
To such as have apprehended the pos
sible slump Of prices for foodstuff that
would follow the sudden ending Of the
war, the guarantee of 81 bushel for
next years wheat crop becomes reas-
surfing and induces an Increased acre
age.
But back Of al! this is that soundness
at the core which manifests itself in
instructive loyalty at every crisis. The
retort of one old farmer to the pctulant
protests Of hard headed neighbor on
the subject of price fixing admirably
covers the situation and discloses the
prevailing sentiment in the rural dis
:ricts: you gave your boy to your
country" he said; are You going to
hold back on your Observation-Disclosures
ton Post.

Fixed the Verdict,

One Of the shortest cummings up on
record Is believed to be that delivered
by the late Commissioner Kerr at the
Old Bailey, in case where a man was
charged with being in the unlawful
possession Of gold watch and chain.
The appearance of the prisoner GER
tainly did not correspond with the le-
gitimate possession Of such costly orna-
ments, but he asserted his innocence
of the charge, and declared that he
had found the watch and chain on the
pavement
The judge looked at the man In the
dock and then at the men in the box.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said,
II have walked over the pavements Of
London during the last forty years, and
I've never found a gold watch and
chain there vet. Consider -nu- :or-
