The Star would submit , ... to all this, Jo anything and everything done or likely to . be.. done under the present ytem because mayors are weak,, council venal,,: and congress corporation-ridden.' iVhat it says of these public servant is too often true, piid what we suggest as to the exaction and impositions of'.many corporation owning public utilities is also true, '. I there then no escape from the dilemma? Only one, ' and thi turns us into the other channel; of .observation: 2- The people must get better, honester, more efficient, scrupulous and conscientious officer in congress, . a mayor, a councUrocnavcrywhereT Tht-4-thc"-taskr and it must be prosecuted, all over. the country)' and par ticularly, in all cities, until the people can trust thejr public servant not only to do the public business they" have in hand, but the larger business that may .be put .'-"4n their hands.-"- : ";. ::'"'.-',;Z17Z The Star would it upinely down and say ,rWeJcan ; " do nothing! let the plundering corporations ,alone; we v can't trust any of our officers; let things go on as they -are. The Journal's advice is different: Put men in of- . fice who can be trusted with these affairs if we think , . it neceiiary or advisable to put these public utilities in their hands. ', , 1 :jAPANlANp VLADIVOSTOK.- I f j AS JUDGING by the past and by a remark of ' Count Cassini's is improbable,. Russia should now sue for peace, Japan, victor on sea and land, may not grant it without imposing conditions upon Russia regarding Vladivostok. Though thi port is not yet in Japan's possession, it is manifest that it is only a -question of time When it will be, if the war goes on. So far Japan has not-encroached upon Russian territory, but ' she will hot-acrnple to do so in order to take Vladivostok, Russia' only remaining port of importance. Thi i tircessary to make Japan' victory complete amimh i likely to be in t humor to make it, complete, for she cart Hot afford to go to war again for many years.! " It may be that Japan would not insist on retaining Vladivostok a a Japanese possession; indeed, that would be impracticable, and would arouse needless opposition among the European powers. More likely tire port would by the term of peace-Iatcr or" sooner b neu - v ' : ' V,V-' - . . .

' i " i j t : r: I r exciuaca , a navai power irom mc ion& uu would have controrf 'e"ell",6TJaan..e or France, or both, miffht object to even the neutralisation of Vladivostok, for the, German emperor has an. attack of yellow pf-fliionVff jn hilwl-FrnreVaym- may jnsist. tnat-Kusaia oe , alio weaioretain inis port; but with the Port Arthur experience in mind, and Russia' broken promises to evacuate Manchuria, Japan, before she makes peace, is likely ta insist very strongly pn depriving Russia of Vladivostok.7 "( - Russia, .Germany and France stripped japan of Port Arthur after it had been given to her by the treaty of Shimonesiki; France and . Germany , dropped, out and Russia- appropriated it to her ultimate grief..- Japan has a pretty good general idea of what it has cost to get Port Arthur back. And now that Vladivostok is as good as hers, she will feel like dictating terms regarding it not that Vladivostok is important to Japan in the seme that Port Arthur is, but Japan will do all he can tp. pre vent Russia from becoming a naval power in those water during lhi century- - Russia ha semi-officially announced that if beaten now she would at once begin to prepare to go to war with Japan again when better prepared... Who then can blame Japan, for preventing Russia from ever getting ready, so far a sea power is concerned? Japan does not want Vladivostok,-nor-Manchuria,-but it will insist that Manchuria a ajroyinxc-jot China shall ba between 1t andTRuaaia and alOf-very-4ikelyf that Russia shall never make a war port of Vladivostok. FATE'S WORK WITH THE INDIAN. IND1 al T T DIANS who have received the first patent for land llotments have been declared citizens by the United States upremecourt, and may slake the firewater thirst, even unto the red man' most ardent desire. - The announcement has' caused general. .alarm. Patience, on duty for more than a century in the cause of civilization, is "how busy invoking state statutes to safeguard where the federal law has been withdrawn. In the generous benevolence of whites for aborigines, whose customs have been pushed aside by society, there is still the perseverance that has marked many fruitless years. What does society hope for the Indian? As a per manent wardfJaK half century of guardianship, spanning nearly tw generations, and proffering the endowment of modern society, has failed to fortify him against only one of the multitudinous evils of life, when is he expected to become an adult? When may we expentevelopment of character-and industry, a love of prosperity, pride in peaceful achievement and a turning from the chase? What destiny is divined for these strange children.of the wild? Love's labor lost does not fit the occasion exactly, for white guardianship has been more a .sense of duty. That it is futile is apparent on every reservation. ' More the end. is indicated by fate as near. When the last cur tain rings down, and calm discretion passes judgment. tTre CaucasTinacewTll receive high award for compas sionate treatment 'It will t said that the whites filed on unused land, and that the edict pf civilization and progt ress killed their predecessors. , jM -, America's copper-skinned race has run its course, be hat long or short. Time's knell is sounding for. an other turn In the wheel of Evolution, carrying back to the unknown, an entire people. From the first moment of wbitrmoeiation, the Indian has declined. His strong virtues in the wilderness have proved his undoing in new environment.. There is praiseworthy sympathy 'in giv ing every human protection, until the last, but the effort is-approved only-by sentiment. - It -will avail nothing,. ave prolonging the' end. .When Indians step from; reservation life, witlv in zealous rare, to icjltirenship a allottees of land abundant for sustenance,, it" is .useless to give especial protection further. In a civilized sense, their majority is then Attained, their patrimony exceeds by far that of white brethren, and whatever issue fate decrees must be" accepted, ''i 7.- . - SMALL- CHANGE- I It Juna 1.

Thar waa general acquiescence In th views of Mr. Rodenberg, and then the conversation drifted to observations rel ative to the effect th watarn exposi tion will havs on th futur of this re gion as well as th fruitage to be brought to th natlqn at large. Con gressman Bouthwlck believed that thla veer th greater part of thtourlata f who-usually go to Europ will com to th Paclfle northweat.
