The considerations are , both practical and philanthropic The education of In dian children the number now of school ngo to bo educated by the gov ernment is estimated at about forty thousand would supply a force whoso nld in solving the Indian problem could not fnll to bo greatly vnluablo Such an army , ivoll imbued with the Ideas and tastes of clvlllycd lifo nnd having a knowledge of its benefits , would cer tainly provo a moro potent influence than any number of whlto missionaries tor bringing the older Indians to regard nnd respect the ways of civilization Intrnolnblo and unyielding as the In dian nnturo generally is to efforts to di vert it from its traditional channels , there can bo little doubt thnt it would bo moro likely to unbend to the example which would bo furnished in the im proved condition ot the Indian youth through oducatlon than to any ether in fluence The duty of the government to provide for the education of the Indian children for whom such provision is not already made will undoubtedly bo hnl- vorsally conceded Every consideration of humanity demands that these chil dren shal' bo rescued from Ignorance and degradation , and the grave respon sibility of doing this rests with the na tion Goiieral Thomas J. Morgan , commis sioner of Indian affairs , has given a great deal of study to this subject , and in a paper road before the last Mohawk conference ho outllnos a polioy which ho will probably bring to the at tention of congress The plan ho proposes comprehends a thorough edu cational system for the Indian youth similar to the public school systo m nf the countiy JJo would have ample provision made for the accommodation of the entire mossot Indian schoolchil dren and youth ; would provide what ever mcasuros should ho necessary to place thorn under educational Influ ences , nnd would completely systematize the work , having so far as possible a uniform course of study similar meth ods of instruction , the same text books and a carefully organized and woll-undorstood system of industrial training Ho would have especial at tention directed toward giving the children a ready command of the Eng lish language , for which purpose ho thinks only English should bo allowed to bo spoken , and only English-speak ing teachers should bo employed in schools supported wholly or In part by the government His plan contem plates the hlghor education of the few who are endowed with Rpocial capacity orambition General Morgan regards it as a fundamental principle in any plan of Indian oducatlon that the youth should * bo instructed In their rights , nrivilcges and duties as American citizens , should bo taught to love the American flag ; shold bo imbued -

out chrlstondotn for the supremacy of the people , and it was nil the greater and , more valuable as an example be cause achieved without striking a blow The last thro no in the now world has boon overthrown What of the old V Hoar Castolar ; ' The sway of the auto crat on the'old continent is nearly over If there is any ono thing I believe with all my heart , it is that before llfty years Europe will bo romiblican from end to end , und I believe the change will bo brought about without the horrors ot war as easily as it has just been brought about in Brazil , aa naturally as a man lays nsldo ono coat nnd puts on ' another because ho likes the other better The people , ot Europe are growing wiser ovcry year and see ing bettor what are their ronl interests They will ono day say to their kings , queens , emperors and princes : 'Wo are musters here , and this country is ours , not yours There is the door ; go ' And then the kings , quoous , emperors - porors und princes will go , and it will bo a beautiful sight " A somewhat Utopian forecast , per hnps , yet hardly to bo thought impossi ble of realization in view ot what has boon accomplished in little moro than a oontury In all the now world there was not an independent civi lized government ono hundred and twenty years ago , losa than four gener ations Regal authority assorted itself overall the hemisphere , Spain having her grasp uoou nearly all of South and Central America , and Ecgland and Franco sharing the northern continent Canada and Cuba remain as important parts ot this division ot the globe own ing alleglanco to European powers , but the last throue , hedged though it was by a record ot exceptionally liberal and progressive imporlal government , has disappeared , This advance ot re publicanism in the . new world baa not boon made without Eovoro and costly struggles , but every conflict waged in tbu cause ot popular govoruraont has resulted In making stronger the foundations ot suoh government ornmont and increasing the capacity ot the people for governing themselves , Today one hundred and twenty millions ot people in tnTs hemisphere , occupy ing a vast omplro compared with which Europe shrirols into inslgnifloanco , nro free from all foreign domination , and living under constitutional forms and equal laws * 5tj their own framing , nro mnrching fljrwnrd on all the lines of human progress with a rapidity un paralleled in any previous period of the worlds history • t The Influence of the now world upon the old Is stondily increasing The loader ot republicanism , which is here proving itself equal to every require ment of sound nnd just government , and of social , moral , and > matorlal progress , is working with porooptiblo ' nnd tremendous force upon monarchlnl institutions everywhere Within n century it has almost banlshod kingly arrognnco and usurpa tion , has brought about a great en largement of the pnvilogos ntid powers of the masses , nnd has utterly diapollod the old delusion of the dlvino right of kings When wo reflect what republi canism has accomplished in llttlo moro than a hundred yonra , starting with the world of despotism massed against it , what hope of future achievement shall bo rognrdod as oxtravngant or un reasonable now that it has the vantage ground of almost half the world and the nctlvo championship of moro than a hundred millions of enlightened solt- governed people ? Events move rapidly in this ago , and the popular mind was never before so readily impressed by appeals to progress Those mighty estates , the school and the press , are united in spreading broadcast republi can principles nnd pointing the wny to univorsnl popular enfranchisement The gllttor of crowns , the pomp of roy alty , and the presumption of sccptorod rulers , no longer possess the power to command the uwo and homugo of the masses They are objects of quito as much contempt ns respect The prophecy of Castolar mny not bo fully realized , but fifty years will witness ' a mighty change in the political condi tion of Europe in the direction of re publicanism STRIKE FOR INDEPENDENCE ' Mr John D. Howe haB forsaken his ambush and comes to the front over his own n a tn o in a frantioand ferocious np- peal to the citizens of Omaha to strike for independence on Thanksgiving day nnd strike hard against the depot and viaduct bond proposition Mr Howe rants wildly against such conservative bankers and capitalists as Herman Kountzn and Bon Smith , and enters a vigorous protest ncralnst " what ho conceives to bo a scheme to revive a wildcat boom in the interest of real estate agents The mossbaek-argumont that Omaha will go on nnujprospcr without railroad depots or viaducts is sadly out of joint with Mr Howe's assertion that Omaha would today have a population of three hundred thousand if the Union Pacific company hnd ltxod up to its pledges to give us proper transfer and depot facilities < But Mr Howe seems to hnvo com pletely lost hisjfiqntal balance and re calls forcibly the figure of Don Quixote in his onset against the wiudmills Ho fairly froths at the mouth , works him soif into frightful contortions ever the Credit Mobillor phantom , pours hotshot and shell into the Union Pa cific giant nnd winds up with a clarion blast to all who would be free to pass their Thanksgiving dlnnors and rally round him to strike ono great blow for independence Passing from the subllrao down to the commonpluco it would have boon much more creditable to Mr Howe to strictly confine himself the facts instead of soaring among the clouds nnd indulging In misleading assertions Nobody contends that the Union Pacific bus lived up to its obliga tions to Omaha and nobody pmtonds to uphold the impositions and abuses from which wo have suffered lu past years But why did not the valiant knight who now wants us to fight for inde pendence enter the lists whllo the ligm was raging ? How is Omaha io gain independence or anything else by defeating the viaduct proposition ? Is it not almost absolutely certain that the defeat of that proposition would bo fol- lonod by the defeat of the proposition for ar > ow bridge which Mr Hoivo looks upon as the only way by which Omaha can become indopondunt of the Union Pacifia ? What is the use of fuming und frothing and raving when you are caged and cannot gain your freedom without paying a ransom ? The only way to strike for independ ence is to carry both propositions nnd compel fair treatment and the raising of the embargo by competition , which would forever runico Omaha the terminus of all roads that converge at this point As to the enormity pf the tax which Mr Howe dwells on , wo will simply point out that on the present valuation of twenty millions the increase of taxes by reason of the depot and viaduct bonds would bft.I ss than flvo cents a year for cacji . one hundred dollars1 worth of property , including in terest and sinking fund to pay the princlpajj ln ether words , thn man who owna property assessed at ono thousand dollars , which would have a marketvuluo f'atloast ' live thousand dollars , wouldpay a fraction ever forty cents a year lit1 addition to his present taxes Compjijlulvoly few people pay taxoson ono thousand dollars of assessed valuation , undlthosa who do could well afford to pay uidollar a year for the now viaduct and the North ' Omaha bridge This tax will ctSronsQ as the general vuluatlon qf "c 'lfy property Is ruiwd by improvements and general growth Manifestly the way to strike for Independence - dependence 1b to disregard Mr Howo's uJghtmaro and give the city the stim ulus whioh it needs to insure a rapid and yet healthy growth , Thosk Sunday cloBlnj * resolutions adopted by the democratio county convention wore worked on the same typewriter that was uBed for Vnnder- voort's pious and prayerful memorial to the ministerial association llrpublicnnlsni ] s Cantaicioua St Iauls aictle-Demotrat , Spain should loou clotely after Cuba Just now , and England would do well to keep an eye on Uanndm The social atmosphere ot this contlnont Is nnfavorablo to any rev emmonts nxcopt republics llnro l'eountlll7.
