FAILURE OF PHILANTHROPHY.
four Rnalli of Government Provi
sions for the Betterment of
the Indians.
Under the advice of the best and most
•ourageous of the friends of the Indian,
tn act for the allc»ment of their tribal
lands in severalty to tlie Indians, under
certain conditions, was passed by con
gress in 1884. Since that time many of
the tribes have apportioned their lands
to their individual members, and have
given up the tribal life, says Youth'i
Companion.
As the Indians to whom lands were so
allotted were forbidden to sell or other
wise alienate their land under 20 years,
and as steps were taken to start them
as farmers, it was supposed that the
measure would do more to civilize and
make them self-supporting, under ex
isting conditions, than anything else
has done. Fifteen years have gone by
since the first allotment of lands, and
the public men who were the authors
and most earnest advocates of the
aeveralty law have lately expressed
deep discouragement with the result.
Although the Indians cannot yet sell,
they can and do lease their allotted
lards to white men. There are reserva
tions in the west where practically all
the farms are rented to white men,
while their owners and their families
retire to unassigned parts of the reser
vation and live in the old wild way.
Meantime the vices of the white men
are communicated to them more read
ily than ever before, and they are with
out the tribal government and the re
straint of strong men of their own race
which often went with it.
As a Whole, the condition of the In
dians is undoubtedly improving, but
there are some cases in which, under
the allotment system, they have actual
ly retrograded. The fact is now ap
parent that it is difficult to make a self
supporting farmer of the Indian in one
.generation. The Indian still needs safe
guards against corruption, and above
all he needs practical and simple in
struction, at. his home, in the few in
dustrial occupations which he may b*s
ible to follow.
YANKEE INVENTION TO WIN.
Vnat Territory In Asia, Africa and
South America I.ten Fallow for
American Machinery.
It is a happy fact that Yankees are so
quick to invent and so skillful to use
machinery of all kinds, says Ainslee’s
Magazine. Within the next few years
there will be tremendous opportunities
for civil, mechanical and electrical en
gineers in Asia. When the Chinese cast
the first railway from Shanghai to Woo
tung into the river they were only
preparing themselves for a network of
railways over the whole of China. W T hen
the Coreans in Seoul destroyed the new
tlectric line and burned the cars, they
exhausted the forces of conservatism,
and before long concluded that the elec
tric railway was the best scheme for
saving extra exertion in walking that
had ever been devised. Large portions
ef South America and South Africa
may be undeveloped and possessed of
great material resources, hut nowhere
else does such a combination of human
and natural conditions tempt indus
trial activity as in China. Nowhere else
are so many hardworking and tem
perate men and women, waitingonly to
be taught, such wealth of coal and other
minerals, such fertile soil, such splen
did rivers and harbors. Were the field
small, it would not be so tempting. But
China is in area larger than the United
States, and has a population four or
five times as large. For the last quar
ter of a century prospectors have been
studying the provinces of-the interior,
md yet our knowledge still seems to
4e most limited.

subject to croup, and so bad have been
tne attacks that we have feared many
times that he would die. We have had
the d.ictpr and nted many medicines,
but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
now our sole reliance. It seems to
dissolve the tough mucous aud by giv
ing frequent doses when the croupy
appear we have fouud that
the dreaded croup is cured before it
gets settled.” There is no danger in
giving this remedy for it contains no
opium or other injurious drug and may
be given as confidently to a babe as to
