A treaty recently negotiated with the
Klamath Indian! was transmitted to
congress Saturday by the commissioner
of Indian affairs. By ill terms tbe In'
dians are to relinquish all claims to their
reservation as described in the treaty of
1864, compromising 621,824 acres, for
which tbe government is to pay $032,000,
It is asserted that the territories of
Arizona and new Mexico will apply for
admission to statehood during the
present session of congress. If they are
admitted it will leave only two tcrri
tories, Indian Territory and Oklohoma,
in the United States outside our outly
ing possessions oi Alaska, Hawaii,
Guam, I'orto Rico and the Philippines.
A reKrt is In circulation to the effect
that Secretary of State Hay will resign
if the Hay Pauncefort. treaty is
amended by the senate. This report,
again, is denied by those claiming to
know. It is to be hoped that the report
is false for man great enough to be
secretary of state of the United States
should be above such petty sentiments.
It is only a faint hope we cherish that
something will be done at this session of
congress for the Nicaragua canal.
While all parties are professedly in fa
vor of its construction, they differ so em
phatically In the manner of getting at it
that the outlook is somewhat discourag
ing te those who are Interested in the
speedy construction of the big ditch.
The Hay-l'auncefote treaty is unsatis
factory to many who believe the United
States should have sole control of the
canal and its chances of ratification are
doubtful.
The deadlock in the city council over
the election of a recorder seems to have
become permanent. At every council
meeting the mayor apppoints T. P. Jud-
son. Four councllmen vote to confirm
and four to reject. Thereupon Judson
continues as tempory recorder until he
shall have been confirmed or rejected
nd he is a good officer. He keeps the
records in a most systematic and satis
factory manner, and as a police judge be
fills tbe position well. He Is a terror to
vil doers in tbe mailer of finos.but they
re able to keep out of police courts by
tbe practice ol good behavior. As Jud
son has proven himself a good and efS
cient officer, it is our opinion that the
ouncil should confirm his appointment,
It la well that the matter of the India
criminate killing of birds by young boys
with their small guns Is given sums pub
licity. It is not only for the sake of the
birds, though that is a good and suffi
cient reason for considering the subject.
For the boys own sakes, it is necessary
- that Ike practice of cruelty should be re
strained.. The reflex action of the kill
ing of a bird on the boys mind is of far
greater importance than la the bird it
self. It teaches him to have a disregard
for life and a hardness of heart toward
autTering. Perhaps It is only in a small
degree, yot the principle Is there and
can not help operating to a greater or
less extent. There are too many men
whose idea of sport Is to kill something.
It is a spirit which the world can get
long without. Kindheartedneas la a
quality of which we can never have an
over supply.
The new army and navy bill which
has just passed the house abolishes the
canteen. This is step In the right di
rection. It is claimed by opponents of
the measure that the canteeu has been
eirective in decreasing the druukeuees In
the army; that the men will have liquor
any way and If there is no cantten, they
will got Inmor wherever they can and
will fill up on some murderous liquid
that will do them incalculably more
harm than the canteen liquor. It is
very likely that there is some truth in
these stalsmeuts, but what If there

should be? It is new form of moral
philosophy if we are to provide mild
forma of vice to keep men from being
vicious. If the men insist on following
vice it is surely no reason why the gov
ernment should. Tbe canteen is an offi
cial sanction of liquor drinking and by
the influence of its existence is more de
structive out of the army than in it.
The idea of lessening vice by a lesser de
gree of vice never worked satisfactorily.

Th Weather.
This unfailing topic of conversation
baa gained a new prevailing interest by
the climatic conditions which have
prevailed during the paBt two weeks. A
dense damp unpleasant fog has bean the
staple article which tbe weather depart
ment has dealt out to us for that period
of time. We do not like it, but it is
better tlfan some things which we might
have. It will put us In a condition
to appreciate the sunshine when we
do get It. It is very good weather for
the fall sown grain and all vegetation as
there is no frost. Our December fog is
given us in recompense for the snow
storms, freezes and blizzards to which
other countries are subject and which we
are denied.
The spell was broken Wednesday
morning by a copious downpour of
moisture, the atmosphere's huiuidily ev
idently having been congregated into
globules so that precipitation ensued.
The ruin brings joy to placer operators
all over the county.

Cantata, "David,"
Last Wednesday eveninir thri Mmnri
rendition o! the caulaU, "David, the
Shepherd Hoy" was given at the opera
bouse. As on the preceding evening
the bouse was well filled by very
appreciative and interested audience,
it is the opinion of many that the
second night's performance was eveo
better than the first. The intervals
between the acts were made much more
brief and the audience was not wearied
by long gazing at the curtain picture.
The chorua was costumed after the
manner of the time of David and Haul,
turbuned, gowned and sandaled, and
the scenery took on the character of tbe
occasion, so that Bethlehem appeared
to me eyes 01 the audience and tanners
peaks arose. Decrepit old Samuel with
his flowing beard and jinglinz bells
disturbing the merriment at Bethlehem
was a scene made real and the anoint
ing of young David, with the bearded
Jeste and his even tall sons in the fore
ground was one of the imposing acts in
the drama.
Haul, portrayed by T. Y. Cramer, was
every inch a splendid barbarian king and
peered wickedly from under his black
brows in a manner to strike terror to
the heart of whoever crossed his path.
His daughter Michal, troubled, yet faith
ful, was beautifully portrayed by Miss
Laura Parker, who is always a favorite
with Grants Pass audiences. Her two
solos were among the gems of the
cantata.
11. L. Andrews ss Jonathan electrified
the audience with his powerful voice
and the duet between David and
Jonathan was emphatically encored on
both evenings.
Mr. (jenrge Cramer carried the
charactur of David in a most creditable
manner and his solos were such as to
exhibit bis tenor voice to flue advantage.
Allot those who had special parts
handled them well. In the Chora!
union vocabulary there is no such word
as fail. The chorus entered into the
spirit of the play with life and vim and
uihiIb the scenes real.
The grand prize, for the best character
of all is unhesitatingly awarded by
popular opinion to Mix Kdna Parker as
Abigail, tbe queen, who displayed a
a combination of vocal and dramatic
talent that is rarely found. She sang
in a voice whose power, compass and
fullness ami purity of tone were a con
tinual pleasuruble surprise to her audi
ence and her conception of the part was
little short of perfect.
The success of the cantata is due largely
to the thorough and judicious drill by II.
C. Kinney, the loader end director.
The perfect work of Miss Belle Hobinson
as accompanist also contributed to the
st.ta.es of I lie cantata in a dcgiee
realized by few.
Nearly I2' wan netted the Choral
union by the entertainment, and alter
paying a note given for music, they
have about $76 left for ihe treasury.
The members of the Choral union
express their thanks to the orchestra
lor their valuable assistance in con
tributing to the success of tbe entertain
ment. Dr. Holt's Lecture.
Dr. W. 8. Holt, of Portland, spoke at
the Presbyterian church Kriday evening
belore a lair sized audience on the sub-
jcitt, "China in the l.inlit of the Present
Ciisis." Dr. Jllolt is a most interesting
nd instructive speaker and his subiect
tins a peculiar interest at this time when
China is engrossing the attention of the
world.
i'r. Holt ascribes the peculiar condi
tions which prevail in China to the sell
important feeling which China has ol
hersell as a nation. China, to the
Chinese, is the "Middle Kingdom," the
cen I nil and only important country of
ho world, All not Chinese aro bar
barians, "(on uns devils" or monkeys
and are held iii supreme contempt.
That these inferior peoples should per
sistently degrade tbe great middle king

fmands has piled np a mountain of
' hatred iu Ihe Chinete heart anginal ihe
foreigners. '
It is an error, Dr. Holt says, to lav any
blame upon the missionary as is being
too Impunity done 111 this lontify
Tbe Chinese enterttin no ill leeiing
toward the iiiissionarica in tint charac
ter, but in their ignorance often consider
them as spies sent by foreign barbarian
governments to work the downfall of the
great middle kingdom. Tbe irija, a
vanced by s me in our own land, that
the trouble is caused by the missionaries
"ramming their gospel down the throats
of the I f sihi n," derided by thed'H-tnr,
who thinks that the 2,000 missionaries,
most of them women, must have a
patent process in ord.-r to ram 'he
gospel down the 400,000,000 throats.
The Boxers are described by Dr. Holt
as one of tbe msny secret societies by
which China it honeycombed. They
are intensely superstitious and fanatical
and undoubtedly have been insliated
to tbeir turbulent attitude by the shiewd
empress dowager. The Chinese, when
they wreak vengeance on the foreigners
consider tbem all alike. It il on the
missionaries that the peril falls as it is
they who occupy unprotected positions.
The lecture was closed with an inspir
ing appeal that the missionary work 111
China might be piosecuted with more
vigor than ever, even at the cost of many
lives and so bring light and intelligence
to the benighted Chinamen, for in this
is the only hope for that great nation.
Council Meeting.
The city council held its regular meet
ing on Thursday evening, all tho mem
bers being present.
The most important measure was the
passing of an ordinance to cover opium
smoking, the need of such ordinance
having been recently made apparent.
The hobo question was discus-ed and
it was agreed that these leisure loving
gentry should be required to assUt 111
beautilying and improving our city.
The mutter ol the iudiscriniinme shoot
ing of birds as well as electric light
globes and other destructible articles, by
boys, was discussed snd it was agreed
that action in this matter had become
necessary.
The city aitornny was instructed to
draft an ordinance compelling bicyclists
to carry bells and lanterns after night.
The mayor again appointed T. P.
Judson as reconler and again tbe
council, by a vote ol four to four refused
to confirm. An open vole was taken
at this meeting Smith. Dunbar, Kuy
kendall and Hood voted to confirm.
McUrew, Haskins, Fetech and Hehkopf
voted lor rejection. Judson still con
tinues as teniorary recoruer.
