The annual meeting of the American Bar
association , the great event of the year In
legaT circles , will occur at Buffalo on the
last thrco days of August. Peculiar Interest
nttnches to this meeting on account of the
fact that It is Immediately followed by the
flrwt meeting of the International Law asso
ciation Hint has ever been held on this side
of the Atlantic. The combination ot two
rsuch Important events Is expected to bring
together the man dlBtlngulshcil assemblage
of men eminent in the legal profession that
lias over been known In this country , and as
Eomo of the discussions deal with the great
1 questlonu of constitutional ! law ( hat are
involved In the present administrative situa
tion they nro anticipated with more than
ordinary IntoretU. Omaha Is Incidentally
complimented by the fact that , In the uli
cence erf lion , Joseph II. Choato , president
of the association , GeneraF Charles F. Man-
del-son of this city has been designated < by
the executive committee to preside and to
deliver the president's address.
The American Bar association ban been In
cxlutcnicq for fAcnty-two years and every
state and territory except Nevada Is repre
sented In Its nionibcrshlp of between 1,500
and ICOO attorneys. Its meetings occur an
nually and the high character of the men
who participate In Its deliberations has made
its proceedings notable ull over the world.
' rolls the next convention
V > \\n \ \ General Mnnderson
vention 'to ' order In IJuftalo ho will sit In a
chut that has been occupied by moro than
n f Arc of the most celebrated legal luml-
nnrln of the last quarter of a century. The
llrst \resldcnt \ of the ntsoclsitlon was James
O. Imadhead of St. Louis and since then
ithe o nitlvo chair has been occupied suc-
cesslviV t > y Benjamin II. HrMow of New-
York , Mward J. Phelps of Vermont , Clark-
eon N. roller of Now York , A. R. Lawton
of Oeoriii , Cortlandt Potlcr of Now Jersey.

ecutive Is Jn 'ph II. Choate , who was re-
cenlry appolmd by President McKlnloy as
American mlmtcr to Kngland ,
running n ml Oruimliiillon.
Tbo object o the association , as defined
by Its constlli'lon ' , la "To advance the
tclcnco of Jurlstudenco , promote the ad
ministration ofustlce \ and uniformity ef
legislation throubout the union , la uphuH
the honor of thejrofesslon of law and en
&
courage social Intercourse among the memI I
ibers of the American 'bar. '
In addition to the usual officers the asI I
noclattcn < has a council composed of one j
member from this state nnd this constitutes j
the standing committee on nominations.
General John C. Cowln re-presents Nebraska
In this council. There nro also standing
committees on various matters of para
mount importance to the legal profession ,
and each state 'bar association Is entitled
to a representation of thrco delegates at each
annual meeting. Applications for membership - j
ship must bo tndorsexl by the local member
of the general council and the only other
requirement Is that the applicant must have
practiced In the highest court of the state
for at least flve years. Judge Mutigcr of
the Unltod States district court In Nebraska
will become a member of the association
at the Buffalo meeting nnd one or two
other prominent Nebraska lawyers will prob
ably follow his example.
The sessions of the association will be
hold In the council chamber In the city hall
In Buffalo 'beginning Monday morning ,
August 28. After an addroso of welcome on
behalf of the Buffalo bar , General Mandcr-
( on will deliver the annual president's ad
dress , which Is regarded as ono of the most
Important documents that conic , -before the
meeting. This is designed to communicate
all the noteworthy changes that have been I
made during the year on points of general j
Interest , not only by congress , but by the )
legislatures of the various states. That I
11 i no easy task to prepare such a paper
Is evident -when the vast amount of stale
nnd national legislation that Is crowded Into
every twelve months Is considered. This
year the Held that must bo covered Is ex
ceptionally wide. There 'hnvo been legis
lative sessions In forty states and the vol
ume of legislation that han been enacted
is almost without precedent. The amount of
matter that General Manderson has been
compelled to go through to prepare himself
for the task IK something formidable ! . Hugo
volumes of session laws , legislative proceed
ings nnd congressional records occupy all
the available room In hlo otlleo and the ag
gregate * mass of material that ho has ex
amined would tax the capacity of any ordi
nary library. All this vast accumulation of
Icglulntlvo effort must 'bo ' carefully sifted , I
the most Important features extracted nnd I
the whole mass of notable legislation must ;
bo brought within the limits of a single ad
dress , i
Next In Importance to the address of the |
president Is considered the annual address j
of the meeting which will delivered by
Senator William Llndsey of Kentucky , Tues
day morning. This address usually deals
with what Is conBrtlcrcd the most Important
question of constitutional or international
law that Is then prominently before the pub
lic and In accordance with this custom Sen
ator Llndsey will discuss "The Power of
Ihe United States Under Its Constitution to
Expand Its Territory. " Another Interesting
paper will bo contributed by Sir William
R. Kennedy , a justice ot the high court of
justice of Kugland.
Aimtlirr ( irrut OrKiinl iitlo .
The meeting ot the International Law as
sociation will bo held In the same buildIng -
Ing on Ibo first tbreo days ot September.
This organization was formed at Brussels
in 1S73 , just after tbo work of the Geneva
tribunal on the Alabama awards was com
pleted and Its primary object Is to promote
and encourage International arbitration ,
Ono of ita earliest presidents was David
Dudley Field ot New York , who said In
hi * address before Ibe association la Liv
erpool In 1S90 ; "This association was be
gun In the- hope that It might do something
toward forming a strong public opinion
which should compel recourse to arbitration
instead of war for disagreement of na
tions and thus bring about general disarma
ment and peace. "
There have been eighteen conferences of
this association , all of which have been held
in England or on the continent. Among the
subjects that have 'been ' discussed are quar
antine , war Indemnity , fishery rights , terri
torial waters , International copyright , Inter
national patent rights and bills of lading.
Among the honorary vice presidents who
have represented the United States on Its
official roster are Stephen J. Field , Carl
Schurz , Judge William C. Bndlcott , Chief
Justice Walto nnd John Jay.
The meeting of this organization Is ex
pected to attract at least half a hundred
of the most eminent lawyers of foreign
countries. Among these will bo Sir Richard
Webster , attorney general of England , and
Sir Wilfrid Laurler , the Canadian premier ,
who will speak at the banquet that will bo
tendered the two organizations by the Erie
county bar at the Klllcott club on Wednes
day evening. Ample arrangements have
been mndo by the committee of the Erlo
county bar , of which Hon. Wilson II. BIssell -
sell Is chairman , to entertain the distin
guished guests whom this dual event will
bring to the Queen City.

LAST OF FIGHTING CHIEFS
Little Wound a Great General Among His
Sioux Braves.
COMES TO OMAHA WITH HIS FOLLOWERS
Penrcnltlc Mnn , lint Strm AVlii-n Ills
I'eoplc Arc Wronisetl The Slour
a Jfntlon Without Hope
for the Future.
Little Wound , the most exalted In rank
ot the whole band of Sioux Indians that ar
rival tit the exposition Monday morning , oc
cupies a unique position among modern In
diana. Ho Is ono c-f tlio tow clilefa still
actlvo In the affairs ot his tribe who iias
also been In his day one of Us great fight
ing leaders. Little Wound was the gon-
cral of his people when Dr. McGllllcuddy ,
who Is In the city nt present , was govcrn-
mout ascut among the Sioux.
"Little Wound la really an able general , "
said Dr. McOllllcuddy the other day. "It
was ho who , two dayn after the 'battle of
Wounded Knee , when Forsyth took the Sev
enth cavalry out In pursuit of the Indians ,
caught him In a canyon and had him pretty
badly penned In. Ho would have given
them a desperate struggle had not Guy V.
Henry , lately military governor of San
tiago , come to his rescue with the Ninth.
Little Wound Is a man of considerable
character. Ho Is very peaceably disposed
as a usual thing , but has a stern nature
and would not hesitate to fight If howere
convinced that it was neccnsary. When I
was amcng his people and the Indiana
were gathering every night to recount their
wrongs , ho never went to the meetings. Ho
told them that If ho had anything to com
plain of ho 'would go right to the agent.
And he did. Ho came In many a tlmo to
toll mo what ho thought of the way the
government was doing ,
"With the solo exception of Rod Cloud ,
Little Wound Is the highest chief of the
Sioux nation. Red Cloud 'being now so old
IB not actlvo In the direction of affairs. Ho
IB the real representative of the old line
cf chiefs which Sitting Hull and Young-
Man-Afraid were conspicuous examples and
Little Wound connects with them. Little
Wound has led hU people through some
of the bloodiest struggles they have had
with the white men. It was ho who op
posed General Harnoy In the northern part
of Nebraska.
Mini a. KJKlilliiK UllJMn I'lmt ,
"Tho fighting strength of the Sioux na
tion is now , of course , a thing of the past.
They number about 24,000 , and are the
larseet surviving nation of Indians. Hut
they will probably never give the govern
ment serious trouble. The older men , who
have been through it , realize the helpless
ness of It. and no longer lend their aid to
an uprising , except when they got into a
certain frame of nilnd. Sometimes an In
dian will get to brooding over hla wrongs ,
the loss of his , lands and his freedom , and
become desperate. Then ho thinks that as
he will die anyway without accomplishing
anything , ho may us well have his revenge
while It lasts , no matter what the out
come. In such a mood an Indian -will
often make trouble who would not otherwise
do so. And when the Indians , no matter
how peaceable they may be , are pushed too
hard by the whites they will rise against
thorn. That was the case In the rising of
the Chlppcwas last summer , and should the
conditions which .brought . about the last
war with the Sioux ever exist again there
would probably bo trouble , though there Is
never any doubt of the outcome.
"But the young men , who have the fight
ing Instinct and have never been through
any fights , are hard to convince of the utter
hopelessness of the struggle. They cannot
realize , unless they have 'been in Carlisle
college , or some such school for the In
dians , and have been around a great deal
among the whites-that they cannot possi
bly win In the end. That Is the reason
why Indian outbreaks now occur at long In
tervals. They only happen when a now
generation comes of a. fighting ago.
"Tho extermination ot the buffalo has
made -marked change In the bearing of the
Indians. While there were buffaloes In
plenty they were independent of the gov
ernment and could go out on the -warpath
without fear of toeing cut off from tholr
commissariat. I was among the Indians
when the buffaloes were -wiped out and I
noticed the change at once. They know
now that they must come to the Great
Father for their living. It has taken the
fight out cf them to n great extent , and It
has also taken the man out of them. They
< are more worthless , oven If they arc less
warlike. I would rather try to make
something out of Indians Just off the war
path than Indians who had been living for
years In Idleness , fed by the government.
"Tho Nnvajoes , I believe , are the next
tribe In strength , numbering 17,000 or 18,000
persons. I should not bo surprised If the
government would some tlmo have trouble
with them. The Indians are beginning to
icallzo themselves the cane with which the
government can hurry troops to the point of
I inutile , hemmed In as all the Indians nro
by the railroads.
Sioux 1'tixlly fiovprnril.
"I think It Is greatly to the credit of the
Sioux nation that for the seven years I was
un agent among them , sixty miles from
any troops , wo never had any serious
trouble with them. If I had had 4,000 or
0,000 of any other nationality living under
the same conditions of Idleness and du-
pcndcnco they would have had me assassi
nated In a very short time. It would ruin
any men to receive what they needed of
fowl and clothes without doing a stnglu
thing. The Sioux don't do anything , because -
cause there In nothing for hm ! to do. None
of the so-called farm land that Is left of
their original reservation can bo farmed
with any success at all. There arc a few
little pockets fit for kitchen gardens , but no
farms. It Is nothing but grazing land , no
rainfall and no streams largo enough for Ir
rigating purposes. The Indians know very
well that whcro the Great Spirit net the
little bunches of buffalo grass nothing eUo
will grow. The government sent out reap
ers and harvestcrB and threshers , ono after
another. I told them of the uselcssncas of
it all , but they would not believe It.
Lately they have begun to realize that the
Sioux cannot farm where they are.
"Hut even if they wore where the condi
tion were different , it would bo too much to
expect of them that they pass at once Into
the condition of farmers from the condition
of savazes. Wo say to the Indian , 'Why
don't you work ? ' and forgot that there la
not u single people In the world which has
passed at once from savagery to clvlllzatlou.
They have alt gone through the uoinadlc and
pastoral states first. It took generation
after generation to transform us from cave
dwellers , gnawing bones , into tillers of the
soil. Yet we wonder why the Indian Is so
slow to dhange his ways.
"I do not expect the Sioux as a nation
will over become civilized. You cannot
persuade them that they have anything to
gain by exchanging their mode of living for
that of the white man. Its just the same
as though you were to ask white men to
take up the ways of the Indian , and In fact
It Is an easier pr'occes to change a civilized
man Into a savage than the reverse. The
Indians have never worked and have never
had to bother themslvcs about their support.
They have been trained In these ways for
generation after generation and they will
not glvo them Tip. "

The most expensive- labor temple in the
world is nt Paris , France. It cost Paris
$400,000 and was erected in 1S92. Klgbly-
two organizations pay a nominal1 rent for

. ales $10,000 for Its maintenance. The au
thorities claim it has done an immense
amount of good In promoting the welfare of
the working Classen.
A labor temple will soon be considered
ono of the Indispensable things for organised
Tabor. Many have been erected and morn
are in contemplation. Now comes the cry
from the Ilaltimoro Federation of Labor
that they have long felt the need of a temple
In which all affiliated organizations could
have headquarters and a committee will at
once Inquire into the feasibility of erecting
this building and 7carn the best way of ue-
curing funds for that purpose.
