OUR INDIAN POLICE,
The Change on the RenerTatlont that Hai

The post few years have witnesses
wonderful cluuiges on the Indian res
ervatlotw of the Northwest, whlct
have lu all cases been for the better,
and, where formerly all was dlsordei
and turmoil has now been so systema
tized that the Indian agencies present
the appearance of well regulated cities
The present discipline of the Indians If
the result, to a great extent, of the ex
cellence of the police force, which If
now n recognized fixture at nil Indian
agencies.
These peace ofllcers are always Indl
ana and combine a force that for effl
clency and bravery cannot be sur
passed. The ordluary Indian, wuc
would naturally be disposed to create
trouble whenever be had an opportun
ity, Is not now so anxious to do no, oul
of fear of a visit from a squad of po
lice. The wrong-doer, no matter If ht
lives on the very outskirts of the reser
vation, sixty or eighty miles from th
agency, knows that a visit from th
Itollce Is Just ns certain as that the sue
will rise and set, and he knows alsc.
that he will receive prompt punish
ment for whatever crime he has com
mitted. He may attempt to elude the police
men, hut they are veritable blood
hounds end never fail to find theli
man, no matter to what part of tb
reservation he may go.
Indian policemen arc appointed by
the United States Indian agent in
charge of the reservation, subject tc
the approval of the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs. Captains and lieuten
ants receive n salary of f IB per month,
and privates $10. There Is considerable
rivalry for the itosltlous, and many In
dividuals serve for years without car

Byron was foolishly Jealous of ev
ery woman he ever loved. His love
ran well Into two figures, and he man
aged sooner or later to make every
one miserable.
Helnrlch Heine, the poet, was also
terribly Jealous. One day he poisoned
a parrot In-longing to his lady-love for
fear It should claim too much of hei
attention.

If one looks through his poems one

Whilst so engaged she began to sing
the first stanza of a hymn. Then she

When It was finished, there was a
silence, and the bishop remarked:
"Why not sing the third verse?"
"The third verse?" answered the
lady, ns she came Into the room, car
rying the steaming eggs; "oh, that Is
not necessary; '
"I don't understand," said Bishop

Democratic Broadsides
Are you a member of a Democratic
organization? If not, join one. If
there is none in your vicinity, organize
one. Uenton McMillan. Washington.
D. C, is president of the National
Association ol Democratic Clubs. He
will send you valuable information.
The banks will have to go out of
the government business. The gov
ernment will not be forced out of the
constitutional right to issue money.
Eternal vigilence will be the price
of victory in 189S and 1900.
The people arc all right on the
money question. All they want is a
chance to vote for free silver. Keep
the gold bugs off the party committees.
The constitution : Coneress shall
have the power to coin gold and silver
and to regulate the value thereof.
The Republican party : An interna
tional congress only can regulate the
value of money.
Every Democratic convention must
reaffirm its allegiance to the princip'p
of the national platform. Otherwise
it is not a Democratic convention.
John Wanamnker is consistent in
his note of warning to the administra-
t;on when he says, " Br;ng on your
promised prosperity or the party is
doomed. '
The National Banker: "Nine-tenths
of our business is being done on cred
it." That's so, and one-tenth of the
people are doing it. The other nine
tenths have no credit and get precious
little money, Give us more money
and less credit. That's what we want.
There are several national bankers
in congress. But they are getting
scarcer every two years. It is a not
ab'e coincidence that as their numbers
decrease in congress the jails are get
ting a goodly share of them.
Free silver coinage is the only pros
perity that will ever come.
The only value in money is the ex
change value. People want money
because they can exchange it for some
thing of actual value, such as food,
clothes, land, houses, rent, etc.
The constitution says that congress
alone shall regulate the value or mon
ey. Yet the cold bus defv the con
stitution by making contracts payable
in goici, and demonetizing silver.
Question : Is a tersoo who makes
such a stipulation in a contract guilty
oi treason.
Congress is still doing nothing.
The person or corporation that stip
ulates that payments shall be made in
gold violates the spirit and the law of
tne constitution.
The gold bug : "You cannot legis
late value into silver." Fact : Silver
has fallen in value (as measured by
gold) more than fifty per cent since
it was demonetized in 1873. Question:
it value can be legislated out of a
metal why can't it be legislated into
metal ? Will some gold bug answer
this?
About this time next year we will
hear the story that "the tariff has not
been in force long enough to bring
prosperity." And the Republicans will
ask for another chance. Prediction :
The Democrats will have a two-thirds
majority in the next house of con
gress. Why not demonetize the foreign in
surance companies now growing fat at
the expense of the people ot this
country? We pay $160,000,000 a
year in premiums to foreign companies.
Free silver coinage is a tariff of fifty
per cent on loreign capital some
thing we can produce here. Why pay
interest on foreign money when we
can make our own by opening the
mints to silver ?
Bats and Musio
On more than one occasion I have
drawn attention in these pages to the
influence of man's civilization on wild
animals. For the past month I have
noticed that a common species of the
small bat, probably the 'pipistelle,
which frequents the towns in southern
France, congregates in the evenings
about those cafes where it is the cus
tom to have outdoor music. This
does not seem to apply to any particu
lar town, as they are to be seen flit
ting about in the crowded streets
among all the traffic in Marseilles,
Cannes, Nice, and Monte Carlo. So
tame are some individuals that they
hawk about for flies under the awning
which covers the chairs placed on the
footpaths. It may be said they come
for the flies attracted by the electric
lights, but the bats are far more num.
erous near those cafes where there is
music than around the ordinary arc
lights in streets or before shops. The
inference appears to be that they find
pleasure in the presence of musio.

The Legislative Session of 1897.
It was not in the nature of things.
o
in view of the elements which have
ilominated recent Pennsylvania Lecris-
latures, that the recent session of the
Legislature, the loncert in the history
' t - - j
of the Commonwealth, should not
have developed an unusual degree of
proinuacv. l he tmmeasurab e enirth
of the session, of which the legitimate
business could have been accomplish
ed in less than half the time, afforded
opportunities and inducements for
corruption. When the hours hung
heavily on the hands of the idle mem
bers, whose expenses were growing
apace, their ingenuity was racked to
discover fresh means of extortion
upon business interests. The neonle
of New York, Illinois and other
States have comnlained loudlv of their
legislative bodies of this year as being
me most corrupt ana licentious with
in their experience; but the General
Assembly of Pennsylvania of 1897 for
profligacy, imbecility and folly could
easily give odds to them all.
Instead of makiniz anv effort to
redeem the solemn pledges to abolish
sinecure offices and to reduce extra
vagant salaries, attention was directed
solely to the opening up of new sources
of taxation in order to obtain more
means for wasteful expenditure. When
the insurance and express companies
and brewers refused to purchase
further immunity from blackmail both
factions of the Reoublican nartv in
the Legislature the regulars of the
machine and the patriots of "seventy
six" rushed together to subject these
interests to new extortions. What will
be the amount of revenue from the
various tax measures of the session.
including the new classification of
brewers' licenses, the direct inherit
ance tax, the additional tax on the
gross receipts of insurance and express
companies, the tax of three cents a
day on foreign laborers, the tax on
corporation store orders and some
others, their own authors can form no
approximate reckoning. Some of
these tax bills are so iniquitous and
others are so clumsily drawn t'.iat they
would hardly run the gantlet of the
Courts if they should escape the veto
of Governor Hastings. The sugges
tion of Representative Keator. of
Philadelphia, that the Legislature
should be placed under the care of a
Commission of Guardians skilled in
the law gains much force from the
record of this session.
Yet, in the face of this record, the
presiding officers of the two Houses
have hastened, in a vain attempt to
forestall public opinion and to avert
righteous indignation, to assert that
the Legislature has done "a very good
work." A perusal of the proceedings
of the last day of the session relating
to the presentations of massive ser
vices of silver and of costly cut glass
indicates that these officials would
have been extremely churlish had
they refused to testify to "the good
work" of the session. The officials
of the two Houses and the members
have no small reason to be satisfied
with each other.
Into this duet of the presiding
officers, breaks the croaking voice of
the leaner of the "seventy-six" (Van
Valkenburg) with the declaration
that "half has not yet been told" of
the profligacy of the session. In miti
gation of popular judgment this hero
of "seventy-six" pleads that his faction
is entitled to credit for forcing the
passage ol the bill providing for inter
est on deposits ot State money, as
well as for defeating "the attempts of
the machine to create thousands of
new offices for the redemption of cam
paign promises." Let the spirit of
faction have credit, then, for the small
good it has done in the recent ses
sion, when an appeal to a higher
motive would have been ol no avail.
But the union of the factions in sup
port of some of the most flagitious
jobs of the session, including the
iniquitouj tax bills, the Becker bill to

throttle the Mayor of Philadelphia
and the mean tax of three cents a day
on honest labor, proves that at the
bottom neither of these factions is
better than the other. In the last
hours of the session they were seen
higglety-pigglety, heads and points, in
the same trucklebed ; and a Harris
burg correspondent has given a touch
ing description of the harmony which
marked their closing proceedings.
Some of the causes of the low con
dition into which the Penns)lvania
Legislature has fallen, until it has
reached the moral zero, lie plainly on
the surface. In most of the counties
of the State the Republican majori
ties have become so large that it is
extremely difficult to prevent the
election of men to the Legislature
who seek merely to serve their per
sonal ends at public expense. Then
the election laws of the State are so
contrived as to discourage independ
ent nominations, as well as the inde
pendent exercise of the ballot. Men
ask in despair : "What is to be done?''
and supinely let the machine roll over
their necks. But, with all the ob
stacles and drawbacks, the people of
Pennsylvania have only to shake off
their lethargy and resolve that their
Legislature shall no longer be a re
proach and a curse to the Common
wealth. Of all the evil spirits with
whom they have to contend in purg
ing the General Assembly the worst
is the fell spirit of party. Record.
