This so-called sport is far too provaloi

\
The Hlnitx Arc Klnn.
The dissolution" , after ft most dramatic
episode , of tho. Indian council nt Stand
ing Ilock tigoncy , called to consider the
question of signing the treaty for the
opening of the Sioux reservation , shows
that there Is great unanimity In opposi
tion to the treaty nnd that those op
posed to the treaty tire very llrm In
their attitude. A belief had obtained
that the feeling of hostility to the plan
proposed by the government was subsid
ing , but the proceedings nt the coun
cil appear to show conclusively that
this was not well founded. Un
questionably there have boon conver
sions , but It is evident that they cannot
have been numerous , nnd that the great
majority of the Indians still have faith
in the counsel of Sitting Hull nnd other
chiefs whoso hostility to the treaty la
implacable.
It is thought probable that the sudden
and dramatic termination of the council
will bo the end of such "pow-wows , "
and it would really eeoin to bo to little
purpose to call together another coun
cil. The duty of the commissioners , ol
course , is to continue their oilorts with
the Indians , not nil of which , there is
reason to bollove , have thus far boon
entirely discreet and well advised , bul
the indications strongly invite the con
clusion that it will bo impossible to obtain -
tain the number of signatures nccessarj
to the approv.nl of the treaty within
the period of 'ono ycnr in which sticli
approval must bo given or the trcut.v
fail. Such incidents as that at Stand
ing Rock agency must tend to Increase
the complications and dilllcultios , and
make the task of the commission hardoi
than nt the outsat. It was a decisive
victory for the opponents of the trontj
which will strengthen tholr tirmnos ;
nnd zeal , and very likely have the olTecl
to draw to their side such ns arc
wavering. It was n result that loavet
little hope for the success of the treaty ,
The Indians have blundered. It has
been talked In congress thnt if they re
jected this treaty it would bo the duty
of congress to tnko adilTeront course nnd
compel thorn to relinquish n portion ol
the reservation which now stands r
solid obstruction to the progress of v ,
largo section of the territory of Dakota
It is hardly questionable that the popu
lar judgment of the country would up
prove suoh a course. If the Indians re
fuse to accept n proposition , which aftoi
most careful and prolonged doliboratioi
congress and the president approved n1
being fair and just to thorn , and which
is regarded by the people as being so
the sentiment of the country will 11103
certainly demand thnt the obstruetioi
they seek to maintain shall bo sum
narily removed. Regarding ns highly
n-obablo the failure of thi
treaty , thnt result would undoubtedly
odly lend to n change of polic ;
n dealing with these wards o
the nation. There is n quite genera
Doling that the practice of makinj
treaties with the Indians should bi
abandoned , and that congress shouli
oglslato regarding them just as It doe
'or all other people under the contro
[ \nd jurisdiction of the government
There is no doubt of the right of con
cfrosa to do this , and the opinion I
ividoly extended that the time is com
to drop the old policy of troaty-makini
: ind allow the Indians no greater con
sidoratlon than Is accorded the whit
citizens of the country.

From Ono Dilemma to Another.
The president was relieved of ono d
lemma by the notion of the Chinese go
eminent in rejecting the treaty negol
nted last spring , only to 11 nd himsc
confronted by another quite as porplo :
ing. What shall bo done with the r
strictlon bill now in his hands must 1
n question ns puzzling to the mind
Mr. Cleveland as any with which ho h
had to deal. If' ho veto the measui
the question of Chinese immigration r
mains where it has boon under the e :
Isting treaty , ratified in 18SO , whlc
permits the return to Amorl <
of Chinamen who had bac
resident hero and gone bai
to China for business or pleasure ,
privilege which it is claimed has boi
greatly abused. If he approve the r
> trlctton bill , which distinctly' violates
the oxlatlry treaty , It is certain that
the Chinese government will regard the
action as unfriendly , nnd whether or
not It shall hnvo recourse to any form
of retaliation this country cannot ox-
poet any future concessions from China.
Nor would the rqspcct of other nations
for the United States bo increased by
such a proceeding. It is not n light
matter for a government tOi deliber
ately violate a treaty , particu
larly when the motive thereto is
so obviously political In Its
character. China may not attempt any
sort of retaliation. It has been flip
pantly said in congress that there was
no dnngor of anything of this kind , for
the reason that the Chinese , being n
grasping people , would make nny ac-
rlllco of honoror independence for gain.
Perhaps this is so , but wo are facing the
judgment of the world in this matter ,
and is it advisable to make a prccodon t
that may bo used against our own honor
ns a troivl.y-rospuctlng nation.
Apart from those considerations ,
which have an Importance beyond the
present , immediate interest in
this matter has reference to
the unhappy dilemma In which
Mr. Cleveland has placed himself , for
ho is chiolly responsible , in his great
anxiety to make political capital out of
this question. The now treaty was to
bo n bait to catch the Pacific coast vote ,
but this was spoiled by the discovery
that the convention was really advant
ageous to China , and in order to render
it acceptable to this country the senate
amended it. Then cainu legislation to
carry into effect the provisions of the
treaty , approved by the president in the
expectation that the treaty would be ac
cepted by China. All this was of demo
cratic origin , suggested , thora is rea
son to believe , by the president
himself. Thus far all saomod
to bo going well , when the report came
that the treaty ha'l boon rojocto.l. Im
mediately the restriction bill w.u Intro
duced In the house by the chief polit
ical advisor of the president , Mr. W.
L. Scott , nnd it was riuhotl through
that body in hot haste and sent to the
senate. There had boon no olllclal in
formation of the rejection of the treaty
nnd the senate declined to follow the
reckless example of the house. Finally ,
however , the manstiro was jus-jod In
that boJyand after somu delay , which
had a purpose in it , the bill was gout to
the president. Than c-.iino the olllcial
information that the Chulcjo govern
ment had rejected the treaty , as now
appears not by reason of nny objection
to the sonuto amendments but bccausi
of the last action of congress , which af
fronted the solf-rcspoct of the Chinese
government.
Thus Mr. Clovola id must determine
vhethor ho will lot the question of Chi-
lese immigration remain as it is , or by
approving the bill in his hands violate
, ho obligations of existing treaties. Po
litical considerations will doubtless
strongly incline him to the lattoi
lourso , but in no event can ho derive
my advantage. . lie has so conspicu
ously bungled the whole business thai

Tan directors of the Fourth Avonui
horse railway of Now Ywrk City believe
that they have solved the problem o
the application of electricity to stroei
cars. The system wbich js now in opcr
ntion docs away entirely with ovorhoiu
wiroa or an underground conduit. Boll
of these methods of applying the oleo
trie current to n motor are admitted ti
bo dangerous to life. The system usoi
In Now York is that of storage , oaol
car carrying its own power in cell
which are charged at a control htatior
under the F.uiro method by practically
the same means as that used In lightinj
Pullman sleepers. This is of poculhv
interest to Omaha. The oiyi question tt
be answered is whether under the storage
ago system suHicent power can bo generated
orated to surmount lioavy grades
This proved , there is no doub
thnt the electric motor will solve tin
problem of rapid transit bettor than
either hor.so cars or cable. The ditll
culty with horse railways is the expense
of maintenance , and with cables tin
liability of n stoppage of the entire syn-
to in by a break in the wire. As
the Omaha Horse Railway com
pany are contemplating a change ii
their lines , they will no doubt in vest I
gate the Now York experiment. If il
is the success predicted , there is nt
reason why Omaha should vomali
much longer without a complete Byaton
of rapid transit free from the groa
dangortolifo which accompanies oithc
overhead or underground wires.J
TUB attention of congress has oftoi
boon directed to the monopoly whicl
the Alaska fur company enjoys In th
seal fisheries. But a duaf ear has boei
turned to all complaints that the Alask
company was overstepping itsauthority
An appeal , however , hns just boon son
to the house committee on morchan
marine which later may result in th
appointment of a committo to invest !
gate the abuses. There c.m bo no ques
tion that the development of Alaska
with its rich fishing , seal and mineni
wealth , Is hold In check by the power
f ul California company. Not only is th
government defrauded out of thousand
of dollars annually , but the compan
uses Its contract with the national au
thorltios to monopolize the whole trad
of Alaska. The agents of the Alaslci
company are in supreme power at SltK
and ether stations. Governmental oil
cinls are subsidized , and traders an
prospectors , eager to develop the ni
jttcont mines , are harrussed and drive
out of the country. This state of n :
fairs Is a burning disgrace to the Unite
States , and wore it not that the Alask
fur company maintains n powerful lobb
at Washington , its contract would Ion
ago have been forfeited.

THK SCHEME UEV1VI3D.
It In Said the Union Pnclno Shops
AVII1 Be Holocntcd.
A local railroad man , who holds somewhat
close relations with the head men of the
Union Pacific , says that the management has
Just revived the proposition to build exten
sive repair und construction nmehina shops

general shops , bat Ills thought that Cheyenne -
enne will bo decided upon. The latter point is
midway between Omaha and Ogtlen , loss than
n hundred miles north of Denver , nnd In fact
Is in u location to which all the lines of the
Union Pacific are tributary. Nothing will
bo done toward the construction of the plant
until next spring.

The law of retardation exhibits It
self in the tooth of the higher racoa of
mankind in a highly inconvenient
manner. The greatly developed brain
requires all the available room in the
skull ; there is no space loft for the at
tachment of muscles for a powerful jaw.
Cooked food also causes degeneracy lu
the development of Iho jaw. There is
constantly no room loft for either the wis
dom teeth or the second upper incisors ;
the wisdom tooth are retarded , often
cause great pain , and decay early. The
bocond incisors appear In startling and
unexpected places , and often ( in Amer
ica especially ) do not cut the gum atall.
Prof. Cope says that "American dent
ists have observed that the
third molar tooth ( wisdom tooth )
are In natives of the United
States very liable to imperfect growth
or suppression , and to a degree entirely
unknown among savage or even many
civilized rncos. " Tno same suppression
has been observed in the outer pair of
superior incisors. This is owing not
only to a reduction in tlio size of the
arches of the jaws , but to successively
prolonged delay In the appearance of
the tcoth. In the tame way mon , and
the man-like apes , have fewer tooth
than the lower monkeys , and these
again fewer than the insectivorous
mammals to which they are very nearly
allied. When this difference In den
tition hasibcon established , civilized
man may claim to place himself in a
new species , apart from low savages as
well ns from high apes.
