A MAN OF ZEAL.
Whitman has been criticised for
his refusal to leave bis mission at
"Waiilatpu in time to save his own
life and the lives of those around
him. The massacre did not come
without warning. The Indian de--xucanor
underwent a distinct change
before it culminated in an outbreak
of savage atrocity. To considerable
extent Whitman had. deprived the
old chiefs and medicine men of their
authority, and the deposition rankled
in their savage breasts. They were
jealous of his rising power and pros
per', and other members of the
tribes took alarm at the inrollhig
wave of immigration which threat
ened to dispossess them of their
lands and hunting grounds.
There sentiments . smoldered for
.years, and finally the opportunity
came for the jealous head men to fan
the smouldering fire into flame. The
immigrants brought a wasting fever
and measles, and these were imparted
to the Indians. Whitman was tire
less in his work of ministering to the
sick, but the Indians would not ob
serve his sanitary instructions, per
sisted in mixing up his treatment
with their crude system, and he was
successful in curing the whites
more
than in curing the red men. An
ugly rumor ran from band to band
that the missionary was casting the
"evil eye upon the natives, and that
he and Mrs. Whitman were engaged
in a conspiracy to kill off the Indians
and give their lands to the whites.
Keen students of Indian nature
warned Whitman that trouble' was
brewing, but the missionary zeal ran
throngh his veins, and he would not
heed teeir warnings. If he had been
a more prudent man, he would not
bare been the Whitman who lives in
song and story. He would never
have crossed the Rocky mountains
to found his mission, and he would
not have made his terrible midwinter
ride to save Oregon to the union.

If the Union Pacific settlement
goes to congress aain, it will be-
come a national scandal, witu in
finite corruption attendant upon it.
The pressure for postponement of
the sale, with congressional action as
its ; end, will undoubtedly be great
and will probably succeed. Con
servative business men and construc
tive financiers like Mr. J. P. Mor
gan will stand little show in a scram
ble of this sort with our ' enterprising
and resourceful members and ex
members of congress. The hope of
the country has been to see this !
troublesome matter arranged without
its again being rhrown into the foot
ball field of the national capital for
the lobbyists to swarm about. But
if this is not to be, the history of the
Pacific railways, fraudulent contracts,
Credit Mobilier and all, can be made
consistent to its close. Oregonian.
The disaster on the New York
Central railroad, by which the Buffalo
express was thrown into the Hudson
and many lives lost, is one of the
most distressing railway accidents in
recent years. So far as investiga
tions have proceeded, the managers
Of the road and their emploj-es in
charge of the train, do not appear
accountable for the wreck, the theory
being that the foundation of the
roadbed was undermined by the
water in a manner which only its
collapse could disclose. It is well
known that the New York Central is
one of the most carefully Managed
and thoroughly built and equipped
roads in the country, and it is only
fair to presume, at least until evi
dence to the contrary is shown,- that
the accident was one that . human
vigilance could not avert nor human
judgment foresee.
From Australia comes the news of
an irrpending stampede to the Klon
dike. A recent London cablegram
states that- the officials of steamship
companies expect to carry 20,000
gold-seekers from Great Britain.
South Africa will send a large con
tingent, and every state in the Union
will send numerous parties.- All in
dications point to smother rush like
that which peopled Australia and
California. Alaska has ceased to be
a land of mystery and solitude.
SMOOTH DIPLOMACY.
The Old Man Knew How to Collect a
Bill. . .
Julian is only 14 months oM and a
fine -child, though I say it myself. I
had him on my knee in the parlor of
our flat when a knock came at the door.
I opened it, whereupon, a decidedly
elderly gentleman pushed his way in.
"What a fine boy!" exclaimed the
stranger, looking in admiration at Jul
ian. - "I can tell it's a boy. He's so
sturdy."
I had been inclined to resist his un
ceremonious pushing of himself in, but
he took so much pleasure in Julian and
Julian was so delighted by the atten
tion that I hadn't the heart to say any
thing. :
"Six teeth, eh?" continued the pater
nal and kindly old gentleman. "Two
years old, I judge, sir?"
"No, sir," I replied. "It is true he
looks fully two years old, but he is only
14 months."
"Impossible," was the reply, in a tone
of wonder.
Julian meanwhile was crowing and
laughing at the stranger and held out
his arms. It suddenly dawned on me
that I had not asked my visitor his
business, but by this time he had Julian
iA his lap.
"The child actually weighed all of
25 pounds." he declared. "Bvthewav.
1 came to see 5"ou about the gas bill.
I Actually 25 pounds! Only 14 months
old! Ha! ha! little boy." .
I had been angry for a week about
my gas bill. The company had taken,
away my meter on account of non
payment of a most outrageous charge,
and for some time I had been using
candles. My intention was to sue the
company.
"Hear him laugh!" cried the vener
able old gentleman, who was now
dandling Julian-on his knee. "Four
teen months old and weighs 25 pounds!
Well, well!" .
Julian was in esctasies.
"Well, now," I said, "I don't think I
ought to pay "
But he was so .wrapped up in Julian,
that he really did not hear me. He
brought forth an old wallet and drew
my gas bill from it.
"Here, little boy," he cried, "is some
thing for you to play with. I really be
lieve he'll have another tooth through
in a week. There, isn't another baby in
Brooklyn to equal him."
Julian was waving .that gas bill in
his little fist," and the two made the
sweetest picture together the old gen-
tlpmiin -i n fVio - 'i 1 T 1S Kill
that j was ncarfiing. 'to buy a new eoat
and vest with, and 1 broughtit out with
a sigh. The old gentleman accepted it
casually.
"Well, well," he said. "I must be
going. Twenty-five pounds! Four
teen months old!"
As he walked downstairs he looked
back two or three times to wave his
hand and cry "By-by" at Julian. He
was certainly a superior and well edu
cated old gentleman and I have no
doubt he was reduced to the necessity
of taking up his present occupation by
reverses of fortune, but I wish I had
thought of asking him to have my
gas meter brought back. St. - Louis
