THE INDIAN CITIZEN.
However correct, from a legal stand
point, the decision of Judge Bellinger,
which fretd 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 hitpr hue. The In
dian, in many inst ii.cea, - has made
praiseworthy progress towards a better
condition of living, and was showing
himself gradually coming under the in
fluence of a gentler civilization. Upon
tne 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 cay use bending under a
donble burden showed that the Indian
was susceptible to demands of comfort
and the influence of environment. The
work done by the government schools
has demonstrated that the children of a
savage ancestry have in them element?
, which go to make up character, and the
.record of the Indian boys and girls who
have 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 mail 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 tho Indian, is apt
to undo the work which many years of
patient endeavor have accomplished.
Since the allotment of lands in severalty
and the consequent coming of citizen
ship, which by Judge Bellinger's deci-J
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
jRonde 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 eafe from the tempta
tions which beset all men, yet it would
havo made him wiser and more capable
of resisting tbe power of his appetites
the inheritance of savagry.
The republican party will not be in
power till March 4, 1897. Althougk
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 year or more before the ends for
which the people voted can bo attained.
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 ia not being sufficient'
ly pushed bv the government. The last
congress, through ex-Senator Dolph, ap
propriated $100,000 for a survey of the
upper uoiumoia, over wnicn it. was de
sirable to have a boat railway. In a
resolution passed by the Commercial
Travelers' Association it is eta led that
even if begun at once, with the usual
preliminaries and red-tape proceedings
in Euch an undertaking, - the present
generation would hardly see its' comple
tion, xne 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 etarter tbt.
farmers will be invited to lend a help
ing hand by subscribing 100 to 500
bushels of wheat.
Colonel James B. Eddy, a member of
the board of railroad, commissioners, re
turned Sunday night from Omaha,
where he attended the eighth annual
session of the trans-Mississippi congress.
One of the great fights which Colonel
Eddy made in tbe congress was for the
boat railway at The Dalles. This nroD-
osition was vigorously fought by several
members of the committee to which it
had been referred, but the ex-journalist
of Pendleton overcame all - opposition
and the congress unanimously passed a
resolution favoring the appropriation by
the government of a sufficient sum to
construct the . boat railway. Pendleton

Speaker Heed made a trite saying
when he declared that "thoee 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.

Some idea ot the late political land
slide may be obtained when' it is noticed
that in seating the members of the

last two on the democratic side were al
lotted to the republicans, in addition to
the seats commonly theirs."
CONCERNING A BOAT RAILWAY.
Albany Herald : For a number of
years tne theory of a ship railway has
been under discussion, with many able
acd eminent 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 used as a passenger boat j
