The Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce - morco lias adopted a memorial to congress - gross ngainat the bill Introduced in the senate by Senator Wnshburn of Minnesota seta looking to the suppression of specu lation In grain and hog product * . The bill provided for the imposition of spe cial taxes on dealers In "options" or "futures" and makes the conditions to bo compiled with In order to go Into thin business so onerous that it Is as sumed the effect would bo to put an end to the business. The memorial of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce declares that .legislation of this kind would bo against the best Interests of the producers and dealers in grain tn the northwest and other agricultural stato.i , and if accom plished will seriously depress business and inturjero with the prosperity of this irreat grain-producing country. The memorialists represent that the Wnsh burn bill would destroy some of the most , extensive business Interests of the northwest and would aid in establishing all the questionable classes of wheat speculation which the author of the bill declares it is his purpose to prevent. It is urged that trading in farm products for future months grew from necessity through the inclination of owners to sell , for forward delivery , property they could not get on the market for present delivery , and back of the necessity are several causes , the leading ones being the preservation of tlio buyer's credit and financial s.ifoty. Buyers of grain from farmers , says tlio memorial , must hold the grain in the country for an indefinite - definite period , awaiting their ability or the convenience of railroads to haul it to market. Tho.v arc forced either to sell it for future delivery or carry it themselves as speculators. If they attempted to carry it as speculators they would at once destroy their credit , and would find great dillicttlty in getting money to pay the farmers for their grain. By making a law that no dealer could sell until the property would bo actually in his pos session'would limit buyers , for none would bo found to buy for forward de livery property that they could not sell again until it would bo actually in pos- bcssion. If there is a necessity for future a'lles there is a necessity for buyers of them , and any rule that prevents - vents the unrestricted sale of what ; has been bought would surely limit buyers to such classes as would have to use the property for consumption or export. Another olToct of the proposed law , the memorialists say , would bo to destroy the competition of the many classes of buyers who are now continually in the market , driving all but the miller and the exporter from the now open and free grain markets , with the result of materially lowering the price of grain at country points as compirod with sea board values and making the business of dealing in grain insocu'o and purely speculative. The memorialists say that the claim that the future sollingof grain tends to lower prices is not correct. The practice of future soiling for specu lation , pure and simple , tends rather to enhance values than to depreciate them. But the main contention is that future sales are necessary for the most economi cal movement of thu crops from the producers to the consumers , and that to restrict buyers would no to hrea'c ' up competition , with the activity and higher prices which it stimulates. It mu-jt bo admitted that there is a great deal of force in these arguments , and farmers who are demanding such legislation as the Wasliburn bill pro poses will bo wise to consider them care fully. It irt obviously to the advantage of tlio agricultural proJucors that there shall be the largest and freest possible competition among buyers of their pro ducts , and it is safe to assume that no intelligent farmer will desire that the demand for his grain shall bo limited to millers and exporters. It certainly would not bo to Ills benefit to bo placed wholly at the mercy of those two inter est ? . The contention of the Minneapo lis Chamber of Commerce that the future selling of grain tends rather to enhance ttuin to lower prices may bo questioned , but the fact is that , the practice does not inlluenco prices one way or the other to the extent that is commonly supposed. Speculation ii ( products that is nothing more or loss than gambling cannot bo made to appear a good thing , and if a practicable way can bo found to do away with it-its adoption is to bo desired. The Wash- burn bill may not bo such a measure as prevailing conditions call for. WIKAK VI' TUK 'flllUKS , Senator D.uvcs of Massachusetts has boon chairman of the senate committee on Indian affairs for many years. Ho Is regarded as authority in the senate upon Indian legislation. The allotment bill bearing his name is the best piece of lawmaklng on behalf of the civilization of tho'lndian which any nvin has ever formulated. But Senator D.uvos Is not Infallible in his judgment aim therefore falls into the error of supposing that no more general legislation is needed re- gaiding the status of the Indian. Ho is particularly hostile to the Idea of abolishing ishing the tribal relations. Ho thinks it would bo like turning a HOCK of sheep loose without shepherds to throw the 250,000 Indians outof their present tribal conditions. The senator's experience should load him to a different conclusion. Ilu should know , if ho docs not , that the chiefs and medicine men are obstructing the work of the government In Its efforts to edu cate and civilize the Indians. When Indians take their allotments , learn to read and Write and become self-support ing , it is because the inlluonco of the chief and the medicine man has been broken. The fact Is that the govern ment has always been wrong In recog nizing rhiofshlp as well as nationality among Indians. Instead of cajoilng thu savugo chieftains , efforts should bo directed toward retiring them from leadership. Sitting Bull WUH a medicine man and not a warrior or a chief , The government made him iiilluentiul with his band by treating him as If ho were * ' an independent sovereign. The chiefs are the follows who direct the dances , who keep up the traditions and make light of the progressive Indian who Is disposed to break aw.iy from 's-ivagory. The policy of taking old men who have resisted every advance of civiliza tion among their people to Washington in order to impress them with the power of the Croat Father , whllo the youncrcr men in cltl/ons' clothes who are actually striving for a bettor form of existence , arc neglected Is subversive of discipline and tends to retard ulviti- /lUion. If every Indian agent were In structed to ignore the chiefs , to luimlll- nto thi medicine then and to show especial favor to those who work and try to become self-sustaining , it would not belong long until the chief's savage dress would bring upon him the ridicule it deserves , and the hideous orgies of the medicine men would bo abandoned. The most speedy and effective solution of the Indian problem is absolute disintegra tion of all tribal and other aboriginal organizations. The reservation should not only bo broken up , but clans , cliques and chieftaincies should bo abolished. Let leadership among Indians as among whites 'depend upon intelligence and Industry , and not upon habitual In dolence and keeping alive of savage t-adltlons. 7/011' TO STOl' LKAKS. The way to keep men honest is to re move from them all chances and tempta tions to steal. The most common form of Jlshonosty among officials who tire charged with the granting of permits or performance of work for which a fee is exacted is tlio habitual "knocking down" of the fees , or the exaction of higher foee than the law allows. There Is only one way by which these leaks can bo effectually stopped. All city olllclals , except alone the treasurer , should bo prohibited , under severe penalty , from receiving or handling any money duo to the city from any source whatever. Every fee that is duo to the city for any permit or for the per formance of any work done by or under the Supervision of any officer should bo paid directly to the city treasurer. The applicants for building permits and all hucksters , hiiokd rivers , auctioneers , peddlers and parties who carry on any business that requires the taking out of a license should first nay the fee ( jxed by law to the city treasurer and present ills receipt to the olllcor authorized to issue the license or permit , which re ceipt , returnable to the comptroller , would bo a check upon the treasurer for the respective amounts. Boiler inspection , sewer Inspection , and , when established , electric light , telephone and motor wire inspection fees should bo made payable to the treasurer in the same manner , as also the fees for copying public documents or certifying the records in the clerk's ollico , and for plats , blue-prints and private surveys made by the city engineer and his assistants. Such a regulation by ordinance will in a great measure do away with scandal und boodling on a small scale. It will als-o insure a systematic accounting for every dollar in fees collected by the various officials and enable the mayor and council to regulate the appropria tions according to their income. SlIOn'IXG A UK'fl'KH Sl'llUT The Chilian government has in structed its minister at Washington to disavow the insulting communication sent by Senor Matta , when minister of foreign affairs. This action indicates the growth of a bettor spirit in the southern republic. It is a stop in the direction of a peaceful settlement of the complication which may have a mollify ing effect at Washington , whore accord ing to all accounts a decidedly warlike feeling has been making progress re cently. If , as is intimated , the Chilian government never had any other inten tion than to disavow the Matta letter , the knowledge of that fact will tend to create a favorable Inference. That com munication was a distinct and very inso lent denial of the allegations and state ments of this government , and its dis avowal must necessarily involve a con fession that our claims wore not alto gether unfounded. That they were not , but on the contrary were more moderate than the facts warranted , is shown by the testimony of the sailors of the Balti more taken at Sun Francisco , which the Chilian minister endeavors to discredit. The disavowal of the Matta letter , however , while important , is merely jugtrostlvo of the possibility tliat the Chilian government Is giving friendly consideration to the demands of our government for an apology and for rep aration. Such an inference Is allowa ble , but it cannot reasonably bo hold to warrant our government in very greatly prolonging the time for a response to its demands. Tlioro does not appo.ir to bo any sulllciont reason why , If Chill's intentions are friendly , who should much longer delay her answer , for If she means to maintain friendly relations an , apology and reparation are absolutely necessary. This government cannot , with a duo regard for its solfrospeot , recede from the position which it has deliberately taken in this matter , nor will it do HO. The Chilian government , it ib to bo presumed , fully understands this , so that it can have no valid ma son for putting off Us reply If it means to accede to the demands. It It does not so Intend it will Improve all tlio time allowed by this government in prepara tion for inevitable hostilities. It is understood that the president will send the correspondence relating to the Chilian complication to congress this week , and ho will doubtless accom pany it with a message giving the views of the administration as to the course that should be pursued. There Is said to be a very general foollnir in congress favorable to giving the administration the fullest support in order to enable it to maintain thu position It has t'ikon , which men of all parties agree is wise , just , and essential to the honor and dig nity of the nation. There seems to bo no doubt that If Chill is disposed to pro voke hostilities congress will not hesi tate to provide the means necessary to carry on a war , and the government would have no difficulty In getting all thu soldlerd it might require , which prolnbly. would not bo a very largunum- bo'as the contest would be uhiully one of iiuvlos. Me inwhlle nav.il prop ira- tions are being pushed with the utmost vigor and the nlival force is baing located whore it will bo promptly avail able if wanted.

Consistently with this chimerical expecta tion , selection of n successor for Caruinul Nowmun may have been put lu abeyance until preference as to the man should be sug gested by the English court. Throe rod hats uro now to bo placed on heads in the British islands , cardinal Cul- lou is still without n successor in Dublin. Although the power of veto proposed by Lord Castlereagli was never granted by the pope In relation to bishops subject to the British crown , it is certain that pains have been taken not to offend Britisn statesmen by raising to the cirdinulato obnoxious prelates - latos , uud there Is no bisnop in Ireland wtio would bo acceptable nt Westminster except the bishop of Llmorlck , who is related to distinguished English torlus.
