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. i * Explicit.
