The White Indti:ni. 0- An intelligent Indian r, contly, in re porting the manrtigo of an Indian oc st toroon to a white m:1n. said: "If this . process goes on, wil will soon havo. the whitest race of Indians you over did a see. The nccomplishet daughter of the old missio naryi, Dr. Robertson, married a full-blooded Crook. 11er ds sister has secured money at the E tst to establish a seminary among the full ss bloods, and it has been a question ito where the semin:'ry could be located an to moet the object a:med at. Parties ht steppmin from ti o train ut Vintia, within tie Cherokee nation, the only rd railroad crossing in the Indian Terri tory, commonly ask, "where are the Indians?" O4i being told that those they see about them are Indians, they as repiy, '"No. They are not Indians; these are white men," tu By marrying an Indian maiden, the ti white muan secures all the rights of in ur diant citizenship. 'lhe '"head"Ii"ht" of l'o the girl helps the matrinonld con ot tract. To hunters for land, those look an ing for wide ranges for cattle or agri of cuiture, the teiptatioi is very stronr m to take ti.is short out to get an I xtent his of soil they could never hope to secure in in any other way. )ol The encouragement given to the whites on the part of marriageable In ie. dian females is quite observable. They cd think that by marrying white mon they Iro gain socially, and have a prospect (or an easier and better-earod.fur life. And sit they think rightly. In all deprossed civilizations, wonoi have a hard time of it. The Indian men do not like this constant raiding through their land s and capturing the most attractive of 2s- their race, whom they would woo and m- wed, but they cannot help themselves, r and retaliate by stealing the affections li of white girls and marrying them. ly White girls entering an indian reser vation are very soon picked up; not so often by full-blooded Indians, but af lter the process of intermarriage has o commenced, not so seldom by hall Iin breeds, quadroons and octoroons. d White. persons who marry into In Ii, diau blood almost invariably remain .' on Indian soil. Tho white man, in de at lense of Indian ideas of communal in . terests and Indian questions, as related he to the whites, becomes more intensely a Indian than the Indians themselves. I think the fiercest defenders of the triual system are white men who by miarriagu have become Indian citiZens and are making money out of it. The r0 largo crops on Indian lands are invar yo iabay raised by white men. Four ls littls of the mechanics are white men, da brothers-in-law to the Indians. So to on both sides the process of dilution of at Indian blood goes on until it becomes . very thin, while Indian habits and li dianlii characteristics still remain. re- .The coinmon notion among Indians ic. is that Indian blood never runs out, r., and that wherever the slightest trace of it can be found, there the fullest ri:.hIts of land and privilege follow. For at man who has one-sixteentl or one-thirty-second part of Indian blood, Ay the claim for his ritht as an Indian is Iso asserted as strongly is for the full m- blood. A white man has married an id Indian girl, a light blonde, of one is- thirty-second Indian blood. His clil )SO dren will be one-sixty-fourth Indian. ay The family consists of live members. et Oil account of that one-thirty-secon d "a Indian blood, that family of live, lo CU cated on the border of the Indian I. land, is entitled, by equal division of ljs the tribal land, to live times 995 acres ir or 4,975 acres. -lwaukee t eluc 11- Symnbolitm of Flowers. lie- - oIg In all ages and among almost every y. people, Ilowers have been adopted as I symibols, types and( onmblems of human ."' combination,amlection and loyalty.

A Criticisnm of Cleveland's Criticism of Fa Certain Leading Nowepapers. (Ihrom the Charlotte Observer.) A few days ago the President wrote ha a letter to Mir. K('ppler, one of the. editors of the Now York Puck, in ha which he took occasion to say that the newspaper of the prcsent day was wilfully mendacious. ha The d:enial of thn assertion is being hurled back into Mr. Cleveland's teeth of from a thousand presses, from Maine t'a to Mexico. It. was an nnfortnnate expression for cot the President to use if he really meant, ov it. Wayland, In his Moral Philosophy, 33C asserts that there is much more truib sil in t1ho world thlan falschootd. In the everyday newQpaper there are a thousand truths, where there is one lio isstatenent. Indeed, as a rule, editors, correspon acints and reporters endeavor to get 1 4 facts and publish truths. 11' A newspaper writer who would do anything else ought to be, and would La Lw, kicked out of the editorial room of of lnv respectable newspaper. tit; We do not know what Mr. Keppler lid, nor (10 we care, that called forth ca he caustic letter from Mr. Clevelaid, W We only know that.
