THE -INDIAN CITIZEN.
However correct, from a legal stand
point, the decision of Judge Bellinger,
which freed the Indian from his tribal
restraint and gave to him greater liber-
. ties, may have been, it is doubtful if the
granting of these privileges will inure
either to the benefit of the Redman or
his neighbors of whiter hue. The In
dian, in many instances, has made
praiseworthy progress towards a better
condition of living, and was showing
.. himself gradually coming nnder the in
fluence of a gentler civilization. Upon
the reservation the tepee' was giving
way to the four-walled house, and tilled
fields gave evidence of a willingness to
to work at farming. A spring wagon
drawn by harnessed horses, instead of
the patient cayuse bending under
double burden showed that tue Indian
was susceptible to demands of comfort
and the influencs cf environment. The
work done by the government schools
has demonstrated that the children of
savage ancestry have in them elements
which go to make up character, and the
record of the Indian boys and girls who
Lave attended Hampton Institute and
the Carlisle school give much in the way
of encouragement.
These and other evidences show that
the Indian is becoming less of a savage
and more like what the white man is
supposed to be. But by no means do
they prove that he is ready for the privi
leges and rights of citizenship. This
honor has come too soon, and the with
drawal of the restraint which in the
past has been found so necessary for
the proper guidance of the Indian, is apt
to undo the work which many years of
patient endeavor have accomplished
- Since the allotment of lauds in severalty
and the consequent coming of citizen
ship, which by Judge Bellinger's deel
sion followed, the Indian has thought it
necessary, or at least pleasing, to adopt
all the customs of white men, and the
result is anything but satisfactory.
Some testimony upon this point comes
from Agent Brentano, of the' Grand
Eonde reservation, who in his report to
the government says that all control of
the agent over the reservation Indian is
.gone, and the latter proceeds to get
drunk, gamble and break laws with im
punity. Ten years more of education
and discipline, while it would not have
made the Indians safe from the tempta
tions which beset all men, yet it would
have made him wiser and more capable
of resisting the power of his appetites

the Globe-Democrat, -a -constant and
serious necessity of watchfulness on the

so organized that it can be relied upon
to render the desired service by virtue

what the men make it who are intrusted
with the control and direction of it, and
what it is permitted to be by the people.
The idea of the delegation of authority
to chosen political agents does not carry
with it the condition of exemption for
citizens from duty and responsibility.

THE ESI0ENT3 MI33AGE.
Spokesman Review: The' single re
deeming feature of the message is its
strong reapseruon of the Monroe doc
trine. While in all other respects the
president advances no foreign policy, it
is a pleasure to note that respecting
Venezuela and .England's interference
there he speaks with vigor and patriot
ism, in other respects the message is
hardly worth a busy man's time for
reading. It does not ven possess the
merit of giving the country a' concise re
view of the various affairs of the gov
ernment.
Evening Telegram : In his message to
congress President Cleveland made no
allusion whatever to the Nicaragua
canal. That the omission was accidental
must be doubted in view of the nnmer
ous matters of comparatively minor im
portance which were generously treated
to language. The country is very anx
ious to learn iust how Mr. Cleveland
stands on the canal question, and the
best and quickest way to ascertain his
attitude is by sending to him for signa
ture a hill authorizing this government
to assume control of the canal and com
plete its construction.

WHY MARYLAND WENT
VUBLICAN.
RE-
Senator Gorman has recovered suffi
ciently from the rude awakening which
the late elections caused, to offer some
explanation of why Maryland went re
publican. Gorman offers the correct
reason when he attributes the landslide
to the sympathy which the people of
Maryland have for protection. That
state is becoming more and more desir
ous of obtaining a leading position in
the manufacturing world, and the policy
of the democratic party offered them no
good prospects for such a condition.
While Mr. Gorman has overlooked the
fact that his own misdeeds have con
tributed in no small measure to demo
cratic success, yet Maryland would have
gone republican this year if Gorman
had never lived or been a statesman of
unblemished reputation. The same
causes that made Maryland republican
this year will operate to the same effect
next fall. Here is Gorman's explana
tion.
"The state (Maryland) went republi
can because the republican vote has
largely increased, a very obvious and
somewhat significant reason.
"The republican vote a year ago
throughout the state was 3000 larger
than the democratic vote, and nobody
pretended to assert then that the result
was due to any personal causes or to op
position to any one man. The fact is
that the protection sentiment in the
state has largely increased. In my own
county, for example, we have a number
of woolen mills. Until very recently
they have been run upon a rongh and
cheap class of goods. In the last two or
three years, however, they have under
taken a higher grade of work, and In
order to do it they have been obliged to
import a large number of skilled labor
ers from Massachusetts and other New
England states. Most of these men are
republicans. A like condition of affairs
exists in other counties of the state, and
Twenty-one of the presidents of the
United States are dead. They all lie
buried in nine states. Virginia holds
five Washington at Mt. Vernon, Thom
as Jefferson at Monticello, James Madi
son at Montpelier, and James Monroe
and John Tyler at Richmond. In New
York lie Van Buren at Einderhook,
Fillmore at Buffalo, Grant at Riverside
Park and Arthur at Albany. In Ohio
are William Henry Harrison at North-
bend, Hayes at Columbus, and Garfield
at Cleveland. In Tennessee are An
drew Jackson near Nashville, Polk at
Nashville, and Andrew Johnson at
Greenville. The two Adamses are
buried at Quincy, Mass., and . Taylor,
Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln are
buried respectively at Louisville, Ky
Concord, N. H., Lancaster, Penn., and
Springfield, 111. There is but one ex-
president of the United States alive at
the present time, Benjamin Harrison!
Sheriff DeRackin inform the Walla
Walla Statesman that Sprague is fast
losing population since the loss of the N.
P. car shops and division headquar
ters. Before the fire, bprague bad a
population of 2900 with 600 voters. It
is doubtful whether the registration for
the next city election will show more
than 100 voters. The life of a railroad
town is certainly very uncertain unless
that town is backed by other resources,
as is The Dalles. The taking awav of
the railroad shops from this place, while
it was a loss to be regretted, did not pre
vent the growth and prosperity of the
town. Although we have made good
progress without the O. R. & N. Co.
shops, we would bless any stroke of for
tune that would bring them to us again.
Every business man and every pro
fessional man should hasten to aid the
committee of seven in their endeavors
to form an organization conducive to
the welfare of the town. The Dalles
needs an organic body which will rep
resent the business solidity of the town. I
Pendleton, La Grande, Baker City,
Walla Walla and other places, no greater
than The Dalles, have these organiza
tions, and find in them an opportunity
for good to the town. Now that the pro
ject has been started, it must not be al
lowed to drop. Every business man
should lend heartv support to the new
organization.
The American people have the repu
tation of taking more interest in politics
than those of any other country ; but as
a scatter of fact, this interest is apt to
be only spasmodic, generally speaking
and not regular and persistent. When
there is a president to be elected, for in
stance, they rally to the support of their
respective parties in a zealous way, and
as long as the campaign lasts the air is
filled with political enthusiasm. But
after the election, calmness and luke
warmness ensue, and nobody seems con'
cerned about the matters that so recent'
ly caused so much activity and excite
ment. This comparative lethargy usu
ally continues until the time draws near
for another casting of votes, and mean
while gross abuses often creep into the
processes of legislation and administra
tion, and trusted agents turn out to be
disappointing because thev have not
been properly watched. The average
citizen is absorbed in his private busi
ness to an extent that practically sua
pends his relation to. politics, and the
public interests are. left to the mercy of
circumstances. Prof. Bryce related.
with an accent of surprise, that when he
was in this country he traveled clear
across the continent without once hear
ing a word spoken on any political topic
His experience is hardly to be taken as
a constant illustration; but it is true,
unquestionably, that there is a prevail
ing disposition, except at certain inter
vals, to subordinate politics to other
subjects.
This form of neglect, this evasion of
duty and responsibility, is the sdurce of
most of our political evils and misfor
tunes. We allow mistakes to be made
and wrongs to be perpetrated that
might be prevented. The theory that
what is everybody's business is nobody's
business blunts the sense of heedfulness
and provides chances for mischief to
take root and grow.
The monthly statement issued by the
treasury department shows during No
vember the public debt increased $2,046,-
503. The deficit for the five months of
this fiscal year is $15,869,327. It is for
tunate for the country that not much
more than a year will elapse before men
with better business methods will be
placed at the head of government.
The republican party will not be in
power till March 4, 189. Although
possessing a majority in the house of
representatives and a plurality in the
senate, President Cleveland stands as
the great obstacle to desired reforms.
Although the last congressional election
was a repudiation of democratic legisla
tion, yet the country will have to wait a
weary vear or more before the ends for
which the people voted can be attained.
The Dalles has long needed a board of
trade or a commercial club. It now
looks as if it were going to get what has
been one of its greatest needs.
CONCERNING A BOAT RAILWAY.
Speaker Reed made a trite saying
when he declared that "those who have
acted with wisdom heretofore may be
fairly expected to act with wisdom here
after." The republican party has
brought the country through times
more troublous than its present predica
ment, and it can safely be trusted with
leadership again. .
Judge Ricks, of the United States cir
cuit court of Ohio, has decided that the
comptroller ' of the currency can make
an assessment on stockholders of insol
vent national banks, and that the as
sessment can be recovered by a suit at
law. The decision is a most important
one. '
Some idea ot the late political land
slide may be obtained when it is noticed
that , in seating the members of the
hoose of. representatives the first and
last two on the democratic side were al
lotted to the republicans, in addition to
the seats commonly theirs. .
Albany Herald: For a number of
years the theory ot a ship railway has
been under discussion, with many able
and emineut.engineers as its advocators.
It remained, however, for an obscure
Swedish mechanic to put the idea into
actual practice and construct a' vessel
which runs in the water and propels it
self on the ordinary rails of a railroad
by land. It is u&ed as a passenger boat
on two lakes separated by a strip of
land over which it railroads itself, and
it forms a practical illustration of the
perfect feasibility of the scheme.
Portland Telegram : The commercial
travelers having set themselves a task
of no mean proportions, are setting
about earnestly to further the work
which they think is not being sufficient'
ly pushed by the government. The last
congress, through ex-Senator Dolph, ap
propriated $100,000 for a survey of the
upper Columbia, over which it was de
sirable to have a boat railway. In a
resolution passed by the Commercial
Travelers' Association it is stated that
even if begun at once, with the usual
preliminaries and red-tape proceedings
In such . an undertaking, the present
generation would hardly see its comple
tion. The projectors are going to pro
ceed in a thoroughly practical manner
with this private enterprise. After the
conference between the committees a
mass meeting will be held. With a
nucleus in some bank for a starter tbt.
farmers will be invited to lend a help
ing hand by subscribing 100 to 00
bushels of wheat.
Pendleton East Oregonian : In every
part the message is a dignified recital of
all our relations at home and abroad,
and this in a spirit of the utmost fair
ness, the broadest treatment and with
full consideration of everv individual's
rights, no matter his position or stand
ing among his fellowmen. It is needless
to say that the president's message is a
business man's document as well as the
utterances of a statesman and American.
There is none of the virus and bluster of
the jingoist about it. There Is no "bad
blood" shown against other countries
and governments, but a determination
to preserve and uphold the right that is
refreshing.
ABOUT AN OPEN RIVER.
Arlington Record : Paul Mobr is out
buying right-of-way for . his portage
around Turn water and Celilo. He is
repeating the much worn story that the
portage will be completed in time to
haul the next crop. This much is cer
tain, he has been buying right-of-wav

Goldendale Sentinel : Brother Ire
land savs a canal and locks can be
built around the upper obstructions in
three years. We agree with him, but as
the government isn't in that big a rush
and the engineers have recommended a
boat railway, we'll have to take what we
can get. The government never rushes
anything, especially when there s a rail
road company working against the im
provement. Ve believe Uncle Sam's
agents make more money by taking it
easy, in such a case, and going slow.
Nothing is generally gained by bucking

The popularity of the Chase Stock
Company was evinced by the large au
dience which greeted it last evening to
witness the performance of "Two Or

drama showing life in the Great French
capital near the close of the 18th cen
tury. The piece is a serious one, en
livened now and then by touches of
humor. The scenery and stage settings
last evening were especially worthy of
mention as they were in perfect keeping
with the circumstances and spirit of the
production. The scenery for the act, in
which were shown the prison and some
of the great buildings of Paris in the dis
tance, was some of the most realistic
ever placed on a Danes stage, ine
characters last night were well sus
tained each participant acting with the
enthusiasm necessary to make a play
well received. As seven acts were
required to complete the performance,
the audience was treated to some extra
playing by the Orchestra Union, which
proved the delight that it always does.
The Chase Stock Company are making
a good impression on theatre goers and
the crowded bouse last night shows that
the company wears well.

Last night settled the fate of the Ath
letic and Social Club. It is a sure go,
and within a short time the club will be
under full sway. In response to notices
published in Tub Ciiboxiclk, a large
number of gentlemen assembled at the
council chambers last evening to take
part in the formation of the club. The
hour set for the meeting was 8 o'clock,
bat at that time only one person was
present, and at 8:30 only five or six ap
peared. The ; promoters were a little ,
discouraced, but said nothing, and soon
the crowd began to come, and by 9
o'clock the room was well filled with an
enthusiastic business assemblage.
Mr. H. A. Bill called the meeting to
order, and the minutes of the previous
meeting were read by the secretary.
Max A. Vogt. The club then rapidly pro
ceeded to an organization. A motion
was made that the club adopt the con
stitution, by-laws and roles of the Mult
nomah Athletic Club of Portland sub
ject to any amendments that might be
made, and this motion, after some
amendments had been proposed, was
carried. It was suggested that the test
way to get an organization was to choose
a board of trustees and place the affairs
of the club in their hands. It was
finally decided to elect seven such trust
ees, and the chairman appointed Messrs.
Crowe, Sinnott and Wilson a committee
to select a list of names from which the
seven trustees were to be chosen. The
committee reported twelve names, and
a ballot taken to choose seven. The
following were elected as trustees of the ,
club: E. C. Pease, H. J. Maier, John
S. Schenck, R. B. Sinnott, H. A. Bill,
J. S. Fish and W. H. Wilson. This
board of trustees will select officers
from among themselves and proceed
with the organization of the club. Com-.
munication will be established with
other clubs and gymnastic houses rela
tive to securing apparatus and steps
taken to secure a suitable buildine.
The members present last night
showed wisdom in the election of the
trustees, and a better board could not
have been chosen. If the club can be
formed as contemplated, it will be an
excellent thing for the city. The inten
tion is to have a complete gymnasium,
with shower bath attachment, bowling
alley, reading room and a place for
social gathering. It is intended that
the club will be the social organization
of the town.
The men will not be selfish in the
matter and on certain days during the
week the club rooms will be turned
over exclusively to the ladies. Another
meeting will be held a week from next
Friday, at which definite reports will be
made by the trustees.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARB FORMED.
The New York Tribune says : "The habit of
taking headache powders ' is lucreasing; to an
alanr-jug extent among; a great number of wo
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
injrredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious druy having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking- them fs

off. Women usually begin taking them to re

In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
