Ititre Some Serious faults in Our
Own Government's Treatment of

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

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. Christianized, and enfran-
chise,)for in the older provinces tneir

as emigrants nnd this would be the dU
seeing and thoroughly English polio
which has been so constantly pursue?
by those who had guldea the des
tinies of the people of Canada.
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."

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. It allays inflammation, soothes
pain, and restores calm and strength to the
shattered nerves. It prepares for wifehood
and maternity. Over oo.ooo women have
testified to its virtues. Druggists sell it.
"I commenced union yoitr meilk-ine three days
after my child wm horn," nritea Irs. A. J. Bry

and I never got up ho strong and well. I can do

If somebody was offering to give away
gold mines for the asking what a scrambling

offered there is some lively scrambling too.
Over 680.000 people hurried to get Doctor
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser at
$1.50 per copy. It has 1,008 pages with over

Phvsicinns Who Make a Specialty of

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.

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

It Shortened the Patient's Leg Two Inches,
and so Affected the Nervous System
that He Continually Shook as
with the Palsy.
lifter Six Years of Torment He Succeeds in Find
ing a Remedy for the Horrible Disease. '
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,

thereby extending the eontrnrted teiatk
nerve which was the sent of trouble. 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."
