EDtWATtOtr OF THE IKDIAtT ,
Thosubjoctot Indian education has
boon ono of growing Interest for years ,
nnd nt no lima has there bcon grortlor
reason than exists nt present for giving
It intelligent nnd careful consideration
The policy ot the government which
contemplates the civilization of the In
dian nnd his instruction in the ways
ncccssnry to enable him to become self
supporting , will bo grontly aided and
promoted If the youth shall bo given
nn opportunity tor such oduca-
tlon na will bring them Into
lratornnl and linrmonlous relationship
with their white folloiv-citlzonn. 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 -
buod with a genuine patriotism , and
made to feel that thoUnitod States , and
not some paltry reservation , is their
homo
The plan of Commissioner Morgan ,
which is the result of considerable ex
perience and careful observation and
study , rocolvod the endorsement
of the Lake Mohonk Indian con
ference , and has boon approved
by others whoso opinions on
this subject nro valuable It would In
volve a largo expenditure , but , as the
commissions Bays , this would bo small
compared with the present costly system
tom of Indian reservations aud agen
cies The good results alroadyachiovod
in educating Indiun children at the *
government schools amply w.trrant the
domund lor an extension of the Bystora ,
and its improvement in whatever ro-
Rpocts oxporiouco may have shown to bo
necessary in order to ' render it of
greater efficiency and usefulness
llinESPONSIDLV INSTITUTIONS
Building and loan associations , hon
estly manngod , are among the greatest
incentives to homo building 'A century's
experience in Europe demonstrated
their usefulness , and through their in
strumentality Philadelphia has deservedly -
orvodly earned the tltla of The City
of Homes " There are at least seventy
fivoof these associations in Nebraska ,
nnd it is sato to say that slnco their in
ception seven years ugo they have en
abled hundreds of wagoworkora to
so euro homes ot their own in their re
spective towns Being purely mutual
and bonoQclal , they are roadlly organ
ized and easily operated , The underly
ing principle is that every stockholder
shares In the profits and participates in
the management Stockholders can at
any time personally oxamlno the books ,
note the progress of the association ,
and watch the result Nothing can bo
covered up The business is open and
above board , and every Interested per
son has a direct voice in the manage
ment of affairs
No such socurlty is nilordod by the
forolgn associations thnt are now drum
ming the state for business They are
not put under bonds by their ronpoctlvo
states to fulfill their obligations , nor
docs the Nebraska law require sufficient
Boeurlty to protoctinvestors The moro
fact that they incorporate under the
state law is not a guaranty of solvency
It is a moro roattor of fonn The mana
gers well know that the credulous people
plo whom they tlooca will not go to the
annoyance and cost of litigation , even
if they could bo reached by ordinary
legal process ,
Minnesota and Illinois are prollflo

A STATESMAN'S FORECAST
Castclar , the great Spanish states
man and orator , is a republican whoso
faith in the ultimate triumph of repub
lican principles throughout the world is
Borcno and unfaltering Porhnps no
living man in Europe has done greater
service than ho in advancing the cause
of republicanism ; certainly none has
moro earnestly and powerfully pre
sented its principles to the popular at
tention With a gift of eloquence sur
passing any man of his time ,
and the courage of his convic
tions in every clrcumstanco , '
this distinguished orator has
advocated popular liberty under the
very shadow of thrones with a power
aud zeal which have placed him in the
first rank of its grontest champions , and
impressed the great truths of the natural
equality of man and of his right to self
government upon millions of minds
The faith ol such a man as Castolnr is
an inspiration , and his forecasts may
well command the profoundest attention
alike of princes and people
The peaceful revolution which with
out friction , or jar , or disturbance , of
any of the social or material interests
of the nation changed the government
of Brazil in a single day from th&mon-
archial to the republican ' form fur
nished a theme upon which Uastolar
could discourse with enthusiasm As
the astronomer may in the discovery ot
a single star find the reward of years
spent in patiently searching the firma
ment , so this faithful sentinel on the
outposts of European republicanism
found gratification and fresh ground of
hopu in the birth ot another republic in
the western hemisphere It was a sign
of progress , a distinct gain for the
people in the great oont-
test bolng waged through -
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 ,

A Cheerful Alternative
New Tork Commercial Advertise :
Perhaps the most Interesting statement
which has been made in the Mormon Inves
tigation , that Is going on at Salt Lalio City ,
is that of Anostlo Smith , that a Mormon
could not take a second wlfo without the
consent of his first This at first seemed to
tnnicato that the first wife was a victim

The Atlanta ( Go ) Constitution is in a

cause a reduction of congressional represen

that they must not monkey with the laws "

Legalized Tyranny
New Yorli Times
The stories that are told about the inva
sion of private premises und tha violation of
porsonnl rights in the enforcement of tbo
prohibitory law in Iowa are calculated to remind -
mind people tnot there are constitutional
guarantees against outrages of the kind that
iu..ve been described The fourth nrticlo of
the original amendments to the fodcral con
stitution declares that the right of tbe people
ple to bo secure in their persons , houses ,
aud paper and effects , against unreasonable
searches and seizures , shall not be violated , "
and that "no warrants shall issue except
upon probable cause , supported by oath or
ufllruiation , und particularly describing the
place to be searched , and the porsous or
things to bo seized " If the stories that have
been told of constables invading private
houses in search ot liquors in Iowa are true ,
this most carefully framed guarantee of ono
of the most sacred rights of citizenship has
been outrageously violated A law that per
mits anything of tins kind is worthy only of
a despotism
Moderation of the Judiciary
Clitcaao Time * .
Jnstleo Miller In speaking to The Judiciary
ary" at the Now York chimter ot commerce
djnuor remarked that the separation of gov
ernment functions under our constitution
was not so perfect us it might bo , Ha in
stanced tbo participation of the senate iu
both executive and mdlclal functions , and
remarked that the judiciary had asserted
and maintained its power with a moderation
and discretion which bad socurcd for it the
conlldonco and respect of the American pee
plo
plo.This
This is quito true , and Justlco Miller af
forded nn illustration of its truth by refrain
ing even on an after-dinner occasion from
any ullusion to the disposition which the sen
ate has frequently manifested to encroach
upon the Junctions of other constitutional di
visions
The supreme court has been especially
careful to respect tbo judgment of tbo na
tional legislature oa constitutional questions
and has repeatedly rendered decisions , as in
the legal-tender uusos , tending aecidodly to
ward tbo enlargement of tbo constitutional
powers of congress , wuilo in no Instance has
the court sought to abridge these powers , or
to exercise censorship , or set up its own
opinions ns superior to these of congress
upon legislative questions
