WISE TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS Mr. Richmond, hv Citing How Smoothly and KHcctivcly the Dominion Authorities Handle the Problem of I.ntv Mainteii. tieo vn the Frontier, Inlcrcntiilly Lays Ititre Some Serious faults in Our Own Government's Treatment of This Question. Bpccln.1 Correspondence of The Tribune. Rcplna, X. V. Territory. Sept. 13. The KtroiiKest, wisest, and most bene ficent uct ever Inaugurated by the I)n minimi (tijvit tinient ;is that of organ izing the "Xiuthwcst Mounted l'lilice Force." Tills uniformed mounted ffiianl, mimherliiff one tliousund men und lifty oillcrrs, is a body of policemen of whom the liomlnlon U Justly proud. They are the Ilnest body of cavalry we hnvu ever seen, both men und horses. They were organized some twenty-three years ok und nrc truly a bulwark of pro tection, not only to the government, luit the sittler. the traveler, and the Canadian 1'ticiriV railway. This organization Is composed of young and picked men, thoroughly drilled, and governed by the strictest military discipline. They are mainly six feet in height and selected for their great endurance. They ride from forty to fifty miles dally in the performance of duty. They patrol the International boundary, commencing near Kstevnn on the Soo ltoad, 3."i0 miles from Win nipeg, to the base of the llockv Moun tains. Thi'lr posts are some fifty miles apurt and nre connected by telegraph or telephone, both north nnd south of the boundnry. They are In constant touch dally and no person with or with out a t-am can puss from Dominion territory Into American, or vice-versa, without being known or overtaken. The authorities of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, etc., are in constant com munication nnd full accord with these protectors of the public peace. The latter exert a wholesome Influence not only in preventing smuggling from across the United States border, but also In preserving order among both Indians and whites throughout the ter ritory. Ths former have great respect for the "redcoats with spurs." THEIIt QUALIFICATION'S. All persons wishing to Join the force must make personal application at the recruiting ofllce nt Winnipeg, or of Commissioner Herchmer nt Iteglna. They are required to undergo a medi cal examination, have a thoroughly Bound constitution nnd produce cer tificates of exemplary character. They must be good riders and understand the care and management of horses. They enlist for five years with rates tf pay rs follows: Staff sergeants. fl.fiO per day; other non-commissioned otllcers.83 cents to $1.00 per day; constables, first year's service. 50 cents; second, .15; third, 60; fourth, 65 " " cents per day - I'cnters, blacksmiths and ',i.is' are allowed extra pay. Mom Bers of the force are supplied with free rations, a free kit on Joining, and peri odical Issues during the term of ser vice. Applicants must be between the ages of twenty-two and forty years. Married men will not be engaged. Com missions are given to the oflicers of the Canadian militia, and to graduates of the Hoyal Military college of Kingston. Promotions from the ranks are fre quent to members possessing special qualifications. Drunkenness means prompt dismissal from the service. So wholesome was the fame of these red-coated guardians of the prairie, that their firm and considerate rule won the respect and obedience of the In dians long before the advent of the railway, nnd Its coming was attended by none of the lawlessness and violence w hich have darkly marked the opening of new districts elsewhere In America. In fact, the whole of this vast region of Western Canada has been more sub ordinate to law than Kastern prov inces. Throughout the territories and along the entire line of the Canadian Pacific one cannot fall to be Impressed with the great respect entertained for law and order. Serious crimes are al most unheard of, presenting a strange contrast with the state of affairs exist ing across the frontier only a few hun dred miles south. Only once has a mail driver been robbed. That was many years ago and the guilty parties were overtaken and promptly pun ished. Settlers can leave their homes on long journeys without, a thought that their homes will be disturbed. This security Is due In complete measure to the efficiency of this matchless police force. This accounts, too, for the Im munity of the Central Pacific railway from express company robbers and train dynamiters. Hence this great highway Is a safer road to travel over than any other of the trans-continental routes, and there Is truth In the boast that along its line train robbers have no show, owing to the efficiency of the mounted police. The police are equally alert for smugglers and disturbers of the Indian peace and are seen with their gay uniforms at all the prairie stations, where they are as favorite ,""" fit the mounted police are well educated aim ..... , ... wi. i.-,, , Rnna of Knglnnd and Canada. alilli;"on Is done In Great HntaU'.'

Great credit is di e these noble guardians of the peace, vho command such respect and obetlli nee on both sides of the boundary line. Surprises! greet the traveler at every turn in thW Canadian Northwest. There still lingers in the prairie atmosphere a flavor of frontier civilization. This was well Illustrated here at Iteglna, and at Winnipeg, at the Territorial Fairs, where the settler, the rancher and the cowboy meet on an equal foot ing: even the Indian settlers begin to realize that their Interests are identi cal with those of the whites. Civiliza tion has brought them to an equality with the white settler, especially in the older provinces where the settlements have been under the care of Scotch superintendents. But there are still even along the line of the Canadian Pacific railway the Crees, Dlackfeet, and other wild tribes, who only oc casionally come In contact with civil ization and Christianity, who are shiftless, degraded and dissolute. CANADIAN INDIANS. The Indian population of the Domin ion numbers about 123,000, located mainly upon the different reserva tions; in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, 35,000; Artibaska, 18,000; Dritish Columbia, 33,000, etc. There is a special department of State to ad minister Indian affairs and according to that report the Indians are not only peaceable, but fairly contented and happy. As we travel through Canada and see the various forms of Indian life we cannot help asking why the United States government should have continual trouble with our Indians, while the Dominion has scarcely any dilliculty with her Indian population; or why the Dominion has been more successful in the management of her Indians than has the United States. Is It not because Canada has always faithfully kept her treaties .with them, while she has never failed to punish them severely when they broke their treaty obligations? The United States government has broken treaty after treaty, a fact which the Indians have resented more than any punishment. A treaty made with the Indians by the item government of Canada is kept in good faith and consequently Is de rived its ability to control them. An other reason why there are no Indian troubles in Canada Is that the Indians have never been crowded and tres passed upon by the white settlers to jealousy and suspicion, as the Ameri can Indian baa been, but are allowed 1 to retain their hunting and fishing grounds unmolested. In a word, they are quiet, peaceable and apparently happy, because they are well treated by their government. Still another rea son may be mentioned. The Indian service of the Dominion Is composed of a trained body of men who understand the Indian character, and who become well known and trusted, and remain In the service through life, while the United States Indian service is com posed of men appointed through poli tical Influence, often resardless of qualification, who do not remain In the service long enough to fully learn and comprehend the Indian character, and .consequently are unlit for their work, bringing trouble upon the government and Indians alike. TRIBAL, DIVISIONS. The chief tribes of the Dominion are the Algonquin. IMackfeet, Woods, Crees, Stonies, Saulteaux or Chippewas and about 600 Sioux. The descendants of the Mohawks, also the Six Nations, or Iroquois, are the superior tribes. Scotch half-breeds of the Northwest are u fine race of people. In Industry, the Beoteh and F.ngllsh blood usually predominates. The French half-breeds tend to the character of the Indian race. There are no Irish half-breeda. Indians in the older provinces are more intelligent nnd controllable than in the West. The Cree tribes were the leaders in the half-breed rebellion of lS!u. Each tribe has a separate treaty witn the government. Its members get cer tain ammunition and rations as long as they remain on their reservations. Some tribeii are a wandering race. Some take to agriculture, fcomo of the young men willingly uttend schools which are supported by the govern- mScattered about the territories In is4. according to a leallet Issued by the "Heglna Industrial School." there were 268 Indian schools with an attendance of 7,504 scholars, being educated in the dny. boarding and industrial schools, established on and off the different r serves. The boys attending the indiu trial Institutions are taught trades, farming, etc., and the girls sewing, knitting and housework, in addition to the ordinary branches of education. While the Indian In naturally a shift less. Idle, lazy and often thievish and treacherous creature, many of these Cnmullnn Indinns bavo through the teaching of the schools and influences of the missionaii.s b-'-omo civilized. Christianized and seli'-supportlng. This is especially true of the half-breeds. Unlike the pure Indians, they have taken rather kindly to agriculture and education. IXDIAN INDUSTRY. Here are some other facts gleaned from the "Industrial School" leaflet, which nre to the credit of the Red race. They l ave a large area of land under cultivation nnd own live stock and farming Implements to a considerable value. Their earnings on the Nort.i west reservations In 1S90. were JiM.O.j.Sa which increased in 1SS4 to "" , D"r1T Inir this summer one Indmn woman sobl twenty SSS-rt ,'UUr ReK'"a ? !l l.y Tne Indians of one agency supply one hundred and fifty tons of hay yearly for the mounted police. On the Onion Lake and Baltleford reserves Inst year the Indians gathered six thou sand tons of hay and wintered 2.600 hend of cattle. At the Industrial fair, one Indian took the first prize for oxen; two Indians captured first prizes in open competition for exhibits of wheat. This record disproves the accusa tions, sometimes unjustly made, that deprived of hunting, the red man is easily resigned to a life of idleness, thlevlshness and all manner of vices. It also proves, or goes to prove, that a live Indian is better than a dead In dian, that the efforts made to Improve his condition are not fruitless; that they can adapt themselves to the changed circumstances nnd become civilized.

The popular Idea that the extinction of these native tribes is only a matter of time, is called into question. Statis tics show that the Indian race In Cana da is not so rapidly on the wane ns Is commonly supposed. While some tribes are decreasing, others are rapidly In creasing under the Influence of civili zation, for that tends to preseerve and prolong life. Since their wars have censed, these Indians are better fed, clothed and housed, the men largely engage In regular work, wbVh Is al ways wholesome, and when sick they have medical aid. One says: "We may have these dusky and doubtful dependents with us for generations to come." The annual appropriation for the sup port of the Indians of Manitoba and the Northwest territories and the mainten ance of the Indian agencies nnd ex perimental farms exceeds a million dol lars. of this large sum about half Is used for provisions for destitute In dians. This fact speaks well for the liberality of parliament, and attests the humanity of the Dominion's treat ment of the "Red Man." J. E. Richmond. Isn't It a pity that so many women (to through life as nervous, fretful invalids, al ways in a sick - bed or on the verge of it. They are to be sincerely pitied for the (treat majority have in tliem the making of healthy, amiable, capable wives and moth ers. These cases become sadder still when it is realized that the sufferings they endure are unnecessary. Any woman can be healthy and amiable and helpful if she will take care of the health of those delicate organs that sre essentially feminine. The greatest known medicine for women Is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It cures all weakness and disease of the or gans that make wifehood and motherhood possible.

UIXSlIIMi CAM BE CVHEI). Phvsicinns Who Make a Specialty of Relieving the Embarrassed. From the London Mall. Perhaps there Is no question which editors have to deal with more fre quently than the cure of blushing. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that there are now In Loudon two or three ladies and gentlemen who have made this interesting ailment their special study. As to the actual mode of cure we will say nothing, but un doubtedly among the patients of the "blushing doctor" there are Borne sorely atlllcted, and yet withal Interesting individuals in all classes of society. Let the dostor speak for himseir. "One of my first patients wus a cnptaln of a crack cavulry regiment, who though perfectly at his euse when conversing- with men, was In the pres ence of ladles covered with confusion and color. This, as you may Imagine, was a constant source of grief to him, and he actually declared that if he were not cured of blushing he Bhould have to resicn his commission. "Of course, 1 number scores of cler gymen among my patients. One a curate plaintively said that when called uon to read the lessons, he In variably stood before his congregation with his face the color of a ripe toma to. His white surplice heightened the effect, and frivolous members of his congregation had not hesitated to com pare him to a candle that had Just been blown out, leaving a glowing red smirk nt the top. Instead of being edified by his discourse, therefore the members of the congregation were in sore danger of being led Into levity. And this thought gave him great pain. "Even more serious, in a certain sense, was the case of a young man employed In a large draper's shop was was actually discharged by hU irate employer, simply because whenever rsked by a l'ly customer to show goods, he was In the habit of blushing and stammering violently. Further more, In the caee of certain goods, lie was wholly unable to transact any business nt all. Several complaints had been made of this weakness on the part of the young man, nnd ih mat ter culminated in his . receiving his week's wag nnd his dismissal, to say nothing of a torrent of nbmm from his late master. "A very interesting cne wen thai of a young lady who recently wrote to me In great distress. She, too, was in the habit of blushing to the roots of lc r hair whenever spoken to; nnd her chl'l' trouble lav In the fact that, owing to this same blushing hnblt, several young men of her acquaintance with tm- con ceit of youthrather fancied that she wns in love with them, whereas, she regarded them with perfect Indiffer ence. This was a really dllllcult case. "You would think that commrclal travelers were the very laft men In the world to need my treatment, yet I num ber among my patients svra! knights of the road. Now. e!rty, the persua sive topgCrf-ntid alluring samples of the traveler avail him nothing It he can not refrain from becoming a lively crimson directly he confronts a pos sible bu.Wr." It is nn Interesting fact that the number of blushing doctors Is Increas ing, and it is, undoubtedly, a better paying profession than that of the or dinary medical practitioner. 11 F. CAl lTlIT 1IEK. But ns She Was Only Seeing to His Buttons He Complimented Her. From London Tld-Tilts. Bobbs was well aware that his wife was in the habit of rilling his pockets when he was asleep, but, like a wise man, he kept silence on the subject. One night, however, he awoke and caught her In the act. "Ha!" he exclaimed, "what are you doing, my dear?" The lady started, her cheeks flushed, the trousers dropped from her grasp and she was about to mako a full con fession, when a bright idea entered her head. Recovering her composure she said: "I was looklns to see whether your trousers needed buttons." "They do, they do, my dear," he ex claimed, springing from the bed. "Needed 'em for weeks, months and I wondered why you didn't sew 'em on; but I waited, for I was sure you would think of it some time, and how kind of you to get out of bed nt this time of night to attend to 'em. Say what you will, there's nothing in the world like a good wife. Let me turn up the gas a fried I &feazJmost then things will vanish.

' From lag Egyptian Then Is no name In this section of the country, connected with the medical world, that la better known to the publio than that of Mr. Monroe Peterson. He is situated in a nice, comfortable home, with a good farm, about four miles west of Johnson City, III., He is now fifty-eight years old, in a healthy condltion.and weighs one hundred and ninety pounds. Not a more upright and honorable citizen does our nation afford, and he is looked upon with wonder, because of hi healthy condition after so long a period of misery and suffering. The cause of Mr. Peterson' long suffering was a hurt which he received in a till, while runuing a drill in 1361, being a soldier at the time. Ho lias been crippled la his right leg ever since that date. Sciatio rheumatism then set in, and his leg began to slowly wither away and draw up in the joint, and now it is about two inches shorter than the other. It began to grow worse and, finally, his whole body began to shake like a person with the St. Vitus' dance. His first severe attack was about sis years ago. There is no disease in the power of human endurance more awful in its pains and afflictions than sciatio rheumatism. Some time its pain may be a slow, steady one, while, at other times, it comes with jerk and wrenches that seem to twist the body out of all shape of recognition. It seems to contract the muscles, drawing the body al most in a knot. While this is probably the worst stai?e of sciutie rheumatism, it is some limes found in milder forms. 80 it was with Mr. Hetenon, but with it was associ ated a feeling and condition almost as un comfortable and unbearable. The body was in a continual shake, rendering it impossible for. him to do anythiug. Ho had lost all sontrol of his innieles. On application to a physician for relief, lie was told that the inaction might lust nun an nis me, or, on the other hand, it might leave him entirely It an unexpected moment. For over three years he was not able to write a word, so severe was his shaking. He sould not even tign his vouchers, thereby having to make hit mark and witness it. At this time he could not walk a step without lid. nor even sit down in a chair without wsistance. No severe was the shaking of his head that It almost causea him to go blind. He could not distinguish a person a rod's distance in front of him. He came very nearly losing his mind, and his friends thought, as a last resort, thut he would have to bo taken to a hospital. When he was taken to town for examination liv a physi cian, he had to be examined in the biicgy, i difficult was it for him to get out. Often time it would seem that lite was nearly ex tinct, and his feet und hands would have to be bathed in warm water and rubbed in jnler to restore the circulation. For two fears he was not nlle to feed himself at the Able. His ever faithful ami dutiful wile put the food to his mouth. At night he would tukn (mothering spells and would have to he lifted up in bed that he might regain his breath and strength. At this critical period be wus not able to put on his clothes, not ihle to do anything but sit and sutler his miserable life away. One physician gave, as his decision of the ;ase, that his leg would have to be placed iu k vice and stretched to its original length, UP TO iiuiiii.iliatiii.iaiimmuiiiiiiliuaiiiiiii Ettabiithtd 1166. the Genuine PIANOS At a time when many manu facturers and dealers are making the most astounding statements regardingthe merits and durability of inferior Pianos, intending pur chasers should not fail to make critical examination of the above instruments.

Mr. Peterson, unwilling to subject Ms body to such severe treatment, objected, thinking that it could be made better, if not cured, in some more humane way. All kinds of patent medicines had been tried. At times he thought he was enjoying the comfort and pleasure of a partial renet, cut soon ne would be back in the same old rut, making his lite one of misery and affliction. Instead . of life being one of Improvement and Joy, it was one of continual toll and suffering. Elrotrio currents, which have gained suoh a foothold among the remedies for rheumatio and neuralgic pains, were tried with only partial relief for a while. He was treated by nearly every physician in the county. All kind of medicines were tried without avail. Much money had been spent in vain. Htill was this disease like a vampire sucking uivay at hi miserable life. The doctor finally gave him up, saying nothing could relieve liim. They had tried every remedy known to the medical world, and now titer thought it best to keep tlio money which was being spent for doctor' bill and medi cine and make his last day as pleasant lor him as his miserable condition would allow. He was placed before a State Board of pen sion examiners and was told that it would be useless to spend any more money in this direction or to try to improve his health, for it was an impossibility. As he now thought the culmination had been reached, but, not to be bn filed by despair, he still sought mean by which his miserablo life could be made more huppy. " As long as there is life there is hope." He saw an article in the paper which stated that a distinguished lumber man in Michigan had been cured of a case resembling disown by Dr. Williams' Pink Pill for Pale People. He then renewed courage to try again, ne ordered one-hall doten boxes, and by taking pill one day rested the following night better than he had rested for years. 80 severe was hi case that he took them nearly six month. He began to gradually mend aud is now a hale and hearty man. He now goes anywhere on tho farm that he desires, and is now able to write a good, plain hand and sign hi name to hi vouchers, and is able to do his chore about the house. While he i too old to labor hard, he is in such a condition that he can spend his last day here on earth in peace and comfort. These pill were not known to this section of country till Mr. Peterson tried them, and now they can be had nt any drug store. Hundredsof boxes have been sold on account of the reputation of this one cose. At least half of the people, not knowing the name of the pills, call for " the kind Mr. Peterson tried." (Signed.)
