Ralph Waldo Emerson welcoming
L„™ Kossuth to Couctd fort ,-s.vou
years ago made this remarkable proph-
esy: “The shores of Europe and
America approach every month and
their politics will one day mingle.”
It has now come true—at tho Hague
and in the Philippines.
Tea after evening chapel is the lat-
est innovation introduced by the pres¬
ident of the Chicago university. This
is not quite in line with college tradi-
tions. But as a novelty it is inter-
esting. The young men of the mid-
die West are to be put in training for
the social martyrdom which is to come
later on.
One of the best suggestions, in the
multitude of baccalaureates that were
preaehed to the senior classes at this
year’s commencement was that con-
tamed in the Rev. Mr. Crothers ser-
mon at Harvard in which he reminded
his hearers that the man who
poses as a walking encyclopedia is
not so highly esteemed as he used to
be. To be a cold storage warehouse
for miscellaneous facts is not scholar-
ship. It is better to buv our ency¬
clopedia or dictionary than to burden
memories with all they contain. II
is our capacity for getting at the facta
and the use we make of them that tell
now.
A recent writer finds one of the
signs of Anglo-Saxon superiority iu
the way the Anglo-Saxon “bounds out
of bed like a cannon ball,” while the
Latin crawls out as if life were a bur-
dec. It is true that a good many
Anglo-Saxons bound out of bed with
just about the degree of buoyancy of
a cannon ball; and if they do not feel
that life is a burden, they certainly
feel that getting up is one of its great¬
est troubles. If the real Anglo-Saxon
finds a pleasure in leaving his bed at
the time he ought, then much Latin
blood has insidiously crept in amongst
us, even into families that count their
descent pretty purely English.
Nothing is plainer from statistics
than the fact that tlie ranks of the
habitual , , , criminals . ■ , are being i • abun- ,
dantly recruited by young men, ob-
serves the London Law Magazine,
This class is not the product of past
causes, merely continuing iu the pres-
ent as a survival of conditions no
longer existing. It is still being pro-
duced freely. An extremely large pro-
portion of the burglaries,house-break-
ings and the like, are the work of
offenders under twenty-one. No less
than thirty-four per cent, of the per-
sons conwicted for these offenses in
1897 were between sixteen and twen¬
ty-one. It is clear, therefore, that
young men take to professional crime
very readily, in spite of all deterrent
influences.
The country is fairly well supplied
with railroads, but the commodities
which they transport are not all or
chiefly produced on their lines. W*
need roads over which to transport to
railroad stations the commodities pro-
duced , , within .... a reasonable ,, distance .. , of ,
them. We also need such roads to
lead to landings on navigable rivers,
aud for various other neighborhood
uses. The cost , of . getting ... produce , to
a station is often greater than that of
getting it from the station to market.
The cost of getting commodities to
ts, e great b avenues of commerce varies
with the character of the roads. It is
easily demonstrable that bad roads ar#
more expensive than good ones in any
place 1 where there is any great need of
road at all. TT Hence a community
a
must either pay for having good roads
or pay for not having them, reasons

KW w __ ___ out of business
i In 1868 after a prosperous career of
more than forty years. Out in north-
ern Montana there are still living a
j ew old employes of the com-
pauy—clerks, Lien voyageurs and hunters,
all of advanced age. Nearly all
them married Blackfeet women,
!
peaoe and comfort, well cared for by
their children and grandchildren. One
of these old-timers, John Monroe, is
now seventy-six years of age, and, in
spite of the many hardships he has
j ! endured, apparently still in the prime
of life. Every season he goes op long
hunting and trapping excursions into
\ the Rockies, in the region just south
of the Great Northern Railway, tho
j best game country we have left, and
he always manages to load his pack
: horses with furs and trophies before
he returns. Last season he trapped
a number of martens and beavers, and
shot several moose, elk, grizzlies,
| bighorn and goats,
i John’s father, Hugh Monroe, was
born in Montreal in 1798, entered
the servioe of the Hudson Bay Com¬
pany in 1814, and the following year
arrived at Mountain Fort, the cora-
pany’s post on the upper Saskatche-
' van > 8 E a d°w of the Bock-

was oomp any
travel with the Blackfeet and learn
their language, and they moved south
for the winter; he was undoubtedly
the first white man to traverse the im¬
mense extent of plain and mountain
i an q jyi ng between the Saskatchewan
and Missouri Rivers. Hugh soon
married a Blaokfoot woman, who was
f° hn ’ s “ oth ® r ’ In t he ’ 4 ° 8 ^ Mt
the north and entered f , the services of .
the American Fur Company, which
they served faithfully for many years,
Hugh Monroe w as ninety-three years
of age at the time of his death.
To his friends John is ever ready to
relate stories of his adventures in
early clays. He will not talk much
before strangers for fear they will re¬
gard him as somewhat of a Munch-
ausen; and, indeed, some of his tales
would seem incredible to persons not
versed in the early history of the
West. But those who know him know
that he is absolutely truthful,
Iu 18 57 the company’s agent at Fort
Benton was notified by the factor at
Fort Union to purchase a large num-
her of horses for him. He wanted
them to trade with the Crees, who had
many robes aud furs, but who were
»hort of ponies, the Blackfeet having
nearly set them afoot by continued
raids. This latter tribe and the Crows
had thousands and thousands of
horses, but they valued them so
highiy that it was impossible to buy
them for any reasonable figure. The
agent therefore concluded to send
some men and goods to the Snake
Indians, ’ who were oamping south of
^ Yel low8tone . They, too, had
larg0 herds of horses, and were said
to sell them v 6 ry cheap, A Crow half-
breed, Louis Bisette, a white em-
earned Wiper aud John Monroe
were sent with four pack horses
loaded with trade goods. Both the
paok and the horses they rode were
the piok of the company’s herd,
large, swift and powerful animals a
most fortunate choice, as will be seen.
But I will tell the story in John’s
owa ^oif&s:
“We started, and Louis took the
laad, for he had passed a great deal of
time on the Yellowstone with the
Crows and knew the way; he also
knew the trail from there to the
country of t^e Snakes. It was in
June, and the weather was so warm
that we rested during the hottest part
of the day, continuing dur journey
far into the night. You may be sure
we kept our eyes open, for in those
days, and especially at that time of
year, war parties from all the dif-
ferent tribes in the country were
j abroad to steal from one another, to
1 ^“jlay ® n 3 murder whom they could.
We scanned the prairie, the hills and
VftUey8i and the thickets we were
obliged to pass for signs of the enemy,
but, above all, we watched the herds
buffalo and antelope to warn us
that man was abroad. So long as we
coa[d a06 them quietly op
, ! ing down on t]le greeu plain aJlead of
us we felt that the trail was safe. A
war P ar ty sneaking through the coun¬
^ ]T° u ld ^ ave star ted them rnnt,in «
all directions. . Of . scared
in course, we
some of tnese herds ourselves, bat
whenever we could we went to one
j side or the other, and left them to
. 8 raze peace. Besides a double-
barreled rifle I earned a bow and
arroW8j us i ng the latter by preference
to kill what game we needed, It
made no noise, did not startle all the
animals in the country, and at short
range, running buffalo, was a power¬
ful weapon. In the time it took to
reload a gun a good bowman could
discharge half ajlozen arrows.
“In those days there was a plain
Indian trail from the Missouri to the
Yellowstone. The Blaokfeet had made
it, and the [passing baok and forth of
the great travois, camp, the dragging of thou¬ the
sands of of lodge poles,
sharp feet of their ponies had worn
deep, narrow and parallel paths, as
plain and sharp cut the as a wagon road.
Passing the traversed point of Snowy Moun¬
tains we the soene of the
great massacre of the Blackfeet by the
Crows, which had taken plaoe some
years previous. It was the only time
the Blackfeet were ever worsted by
any of their native enemies, and after¬
ward they were fully revenged. The
Blaokfeet were split up into two large
camps, one hnhting along the Yellow
River, while the other went over onto
the Plat Willow Creek, which heads
in the Snowy Mountains and empties
into the Musselshell. There they
oamped they about, hunting and trapping
until had all the robes and furs
they could handle. One morning
word was passed to break camp for
the return journey, and in a little
while the whole outfit was ,on the
move, strung out along the trail for
miles. Most of the hunters were far
ahead or away to the right or Left of
the trail, knitting as usual, leaving
the lohg column of women and chil¬
dren unprotected. So, when rtf
Crows suddenly appeared at the
they met with little opposition, the
few warriors, the old men and boys
being unable to oheck them, although
they fought bi avely and died fight¬
ing.
“The struggling column of Black-
feet was perhaps four miles in length,
but in a very few minutes those in the
lead were apprised that something
was wrong, and a frantic stampede
ensued. The Crows had little diffi¬
culty, mounted as they were on their
best Worses, in overtaking the fleeing
people, and an awful slaughter took
place. Young and good-looking wom¬
en, girls and boys were taken prison¬
ers, but the rest were murdered as
fast as the Crows oould overtake
them, the men and boys of each little
group fighting desperately to the
last. An old medicine man named
Red Eagle, seeing that there was no
chance for him to escape, calmly
halted in the trail, called his seven
wives with their children about him,
and stabbed each one in the heart,
the women bravely walking up to him
and baring their breasts to the blow.
Without a word, without a cry, they
sank down and died about him, and
then, just as the enemy was upo§ him,
he placed the muzzle of his flintlock
to his head, pulled tho trigger, and
feH among his faithful wives. Incum¬
bered by their prisoners and the rich
plunder, the Crows ere long were
obliged to give up the chase, so many
of the people escaped. The hunters col¬
and warriors rejoined the fleeing
umn too late to be of much service.
That night when the count was made
more than four hundred persons were
missing, and a thousand or more
horses, a large amount of furs, robes
and other property had also fallen in¬
to the hands of the enemy. As we
rode along the trail where all this had
taken plaoe we saw many reminders
of that awful day;here aud there were
human skeletons, nearly every skull
crushed in, and all along were broken
travois, lodge poles by the thousands,
bits of clothing, shrivelled robes and
skins.
“Ten days after leaving Fort Ben¬
ton we came to the Yellowstone,
which was bank full from the melting
snow in thp mountains. We built a
raft and boated our goods over and
then swam over with the horses, As .
near as I can recollect, it was where
the town of Big Timber now stands.
We left the river next morning and
pushed on to the southwest, over a
rolling and broken country. Late in
the afternoon, as we neared a deep,
narrow valley through which a small
stream made its way, I looked aoross
it and beyond anij felt sure I saw an
Indian suddenly jump out of sight be¬
hind a patch of brush. 1 didn’t say
anything until we started down the
steep slope into the valley and had
got out of sight of any one on the
table land. Then I told my com¬
panion, and as soon as we reached the
bottom of the hill we turned to the
right and rode up the narrow plain as
fast as we oould go. We went up it
for nearly two miles and then had to
climb out on the prairie again. In
the meantime the Indian I had seen
had probably run off and informed his
party, who must have beeg camped
close by, that we had ridden down in¬
to the creek bottom and were prob¬
ably making camp. Anyhow, just as
we rode baok onto the prairie we saw
a large band of mounted Indians, sev¬
eral hundred of them, riding rapidly
toward the spot where we bad entered
the little valley. They saw us as soon
as we rode up in sight, and, changing
their course, came after us with all
speed.
“We flew. As Wiper had the best
horse, he took the lead, and Louis and
I pounded the pack animals after him.
They were all big, swift and power¬
ful, and didn’t need much urging. We
had a good start of the Indians, but
they had some fast horses, too, and
little by little, a number of them be¬
gan to lessen the distance between us.
Then, as mile after mile was passed,
they dropped out of the chase one by
one, until finally not more than a
dozen kept on. Of these there were
two who forged steadily ahead of the
rest and soon drew within range of
us. Nearer and nearer they oame,
until the foremost was not fifty feet
away, shouting and encouraging each
Other in a language that was strange;
perhaps it was Cheyenne. We now
saw that they eaoh carried a long
lance, but no bow nor gun, and Louis
told me to shoot them if I could; that
he would take care of the pack horses.
“I turned in ray saddle and pointed
my gun, but before I could pull the
trigger both of the Indians slipped
over onto the side of their animals, so
I had no mark and but a leg gripping a
horse’s baok an arm thrown over
its neck; I couldn’t stay twisted in
my saddle long with my gnu extended,
and as soon as I would straighten
around they would sit up again and
uyge on their horses, and they kepi
getting closer. If it had been just a
question of the two we would have
stopped and finished them in shori
order, but we dare not attempt it,
for their companions § who had
stayed in the race were still oorning
and only a few hundred yards distant|
we couldn’t fight them all. The two
were getting very olose now, almost
tiWting enough for a Tanoe thrust, and,
M to luck I suddenly withoul turned
rifting a fired at the nearest one
the gun to my shoulder or tak-
in aim, just as if I was firing at a
baffalo at close range. Down he fell
to the ground, and the other one, with
a yeli, made his horse give one or two
great leaps and prepared to lanoe me.
1 guess he didn’t notice that ipy rifle
was double barrelled, for he made no
effort to dodge when I pointed it at
him, and he grinned as he raised his
lance. I’ll never forget the expres¬
sion of surprise and pain which flashed
across his face when I pulled the other
trigger and the ball smashed through
his ribs. He dropped the lance,
grabbed at the hole in hia side and
then rolled backward off his horse.
“Those two must have been pretty
big chiefs, for when the rest came up
to them they stopped and set stopped, up a
terrible howling. We never
though, for we felt sure that the whole
tribe would hunt the country for us
We had been swinging around toward
the Yellowstone all the time, but when
the Indians gave up the chase we
dropped into a trot and about dusk
struck the river where we had left it
in the morning, never resting until
we had got the packs and hordes aoross
to the other side. We had concluded
that so far as we were concerned the
company would get along without any
Snake horses.
“Before we got back to the fort a
little incident happened to me which
may interest you to hear. We got
up early one morning and started on
without having breakfast, for we
had eaten all our meat the previous
evening. When the sun rose the
wind began to blow from the west, as
it often does in the foothills, so strong
that our horses could barely make any
headway. We struggled on and on,
getting very hungry as the houks
passed, but expecting every minute to
sight a band of buffalo and kill one.
I guess the wind blew them all out of
the country, for they seemed to have
disappeared. Finally about noon wo
sighted an animal just going over a
ridge. We only got a glimpse of it,
and thought it was a buffalo bull.
Wiper told me to ride over there and
kill him. I handed Louis my rifle,
intending to use my bow and arrows,
and rode off thinking we would soon
have sfrme ribs roasting over a fire,
When I got to the top of the ridge
there was no bull in sight, so I rode
on over another little rise or two and
suddenly found that what we had
taken for a bull was an enormous
grizzly bear. He was as big as a two-
year-old steer, and was busily digging
in a marshy, muddy place, full of
hummocks and small clumps of brush.
“Bear meat wasn’t so good as buf¬
falo meat, yet it would do for hungry
men; but I had only my bows and ar¬
rows, which wasn’t exactly the weapon
to shoot a grizzly with. I turned
back to get my rifle, and then, think¬
ing [that Wiper and Louis would
laugh at me, I concluded to tackle
the Jiear anyhow. When I was a
young man I did many foolish things
for fear of being laughed at and called
a coward. The wind was blowing as
hard as ever, so I made a little de¬
tour and approached the bear across
it. He was still busily digging, and
I rode up within thirty leet of him
and let drive an arrow. Instead of
piercing his ribs It went foul and hit
him a stinging blow on the flank, jnst
as if he had been struck with a good
whip. Ho gave a savage roar and
started for me at once, and I dug my
heels into the horse and lit out. The
ground was soft, and my horse didn’t
go very fast—be hadn’t scented the
bear yet and probably thought it was
buffalo—and the first thing I knew
the grizzly bad bim by the tail. The
horse couldn’jj pull away from bim,
but he kept swinging around, and I
kept thumping him with my heels
and pricking bim with an arrow, until
be made a half cirole and got the scent
of the bear, and then be began to
squeal and kick for all be was worth,
and I had all I could do to sit in the
saddle. The bear bung on like grim
death* and finally the tail parted, bone,
hair and all, the horse luroked for¬
ward, reoovered, and ran as fast as be
could across the marsh, the bear after
us, still oarryiug the part of the tail
be bad bitten off. I fitted another
arrow to the bow and let it drive just
as be arose for a leap. I saw it pieroe
bis brisket, entering only an inch or
two, and then the beast fell, as beasts
generally do when they are wounded,
ever so lightly. The but of the arrow
struck a stone or some hard substance
and was pushed clear in through the
heart. The old fellow tried to rise
three or four times, but couldn’t make
it, and then fell over on his side quite
dead. When Louis and Wiper oame
up they both said it was the biggest
bear they ever saw.”

BRYAN SPEAKS
TO IOWANS
Silver Leader Says the 16-
to-i Issue Stands.
IMPERIALISM IS ROASTED
Iowa Democrats Haie a Love Feast On
Occasion of Meeting of State
Convention at Des Moines.
Des Moines, Iowa, was full of dem¬
ocrats Tuesday night to attend the
democratic state convention and listen
to W. J. Bryan, General W. B. Weav¬
er and others expound the gospel of
16 to 1 , anti-imperialism and anti¬
trust views. Two great meetings were
held during the evening, the main one
at the the Auditorium, where W. J.
Bryan spake to 0,000 people, and the
other at the tabernacle, where Gen¬
eral Weaver held forth for an hour,
Until Mr. Bryan came from the first
meeting. Some 15,000 persons con¬
gregated at the tabernacle, and the
two buildings were not great enough
to accommodate the throng.
Mr. Bryan, in beginning his ad¬
dress, reviewed the record of the re¬
publican party', accusing it of putting
the dollar above the man. He then
took up the silver question, saying
prosperity did not set in until six
months after the election, when the
Klondike gold mines began to increase
the supply of the yellow metal.
The republicans who claim that
times are better because the balance
of trade is in favor ef the United States
give away their own position and ad¬
mit that the democratic view of the
quantitive character of money is cor¬
rect, The financiers of England con¬
trol the English government, through
England the rest of Europe, and
through Europe the United States.
He said:
“The 6,500,000 democratic voters of
the democratic party in 1896 were for
silver. The 7,000,000 republican vot¬
ers were for a platform which called
for international bimetallism. Only
the Palmer and Buckner voters were
for the gold standard, say less than 1
per cent, yet the Iowa republican
platform goes a step farther and is
mainly for gold alone. Moreover, the
republicans threaten to retire the
greenbacks, though they have never
been before the people on that issue.’’
Mr. Bryan closed his speech by a
lengthy discussion of imperialism.
The difference, he said, between a re¬
public and an empire is this:
“A republic needs an army of 25,-
000 for 70,000,000 people; an empire
needs four times that large an army,
when 10 , 000,000 population is added.
This suits the young men who get fat
jobs in the army, but not the people
who pay the $1,500,000 a day needed
to maintain the soldiers in the Philip¬
pines.”
Mr. Bryan gave figures to show that
England and other nations do not col¬
onize rapidly and said that with twenty
people to the square mile in America,
and sixty to the mile in the Philip¬
pines, there is no opportunity there.
Even if we should succeed in killing
off all the natives, you cannot get
young Americans to go there—they
prefer to live ia this country. The
profit will not be equal to the cost and
the profit will not go to the right peo¬
ple, but to investment syndicates.
Even if any man is willing to trade
for pattage, and does not have a taste
for birthright, he had better investi¬
gate the pottsge. If the Tagalos are
largely Christians and our native al¬
lies are largely Mohammedan, we
ought to ask the sultan to help us sub¬
due the Christian insurgents.
“This government ought to make a
declaration of good intentions toward
the Philippines, as it did toward Cuba.
The president ought to have done so,
or if he did not have the power, should
have asked congress for it. Now he
might call a special session to ask for
the power. Cleveland called a special
session to repeal the Sherman act and
McKinley called one. A special ses¬
sion now would cost much money, bmt
not nearly so much as the cofftinuanca
of the war.”
NEW STATUTE DESIRED.
Leaders of Negro Race Discuss Lynch¬
ing at National Council Meeting.
The National Afro-American coun¬
cil of the United States met in Chi¬
cago Thursday in a three days’ con¬
vention. One of the most important
matters to be presented will be a pro¬
position for a new federal statute to
make the participation in any mob
gathered for the purpose of lynching
a capital offense and to give the
United States authorities the right to
interfere in any state or territory
where a mob assembles for the pur¬
pose of lynching any persons.
SOLID NEGRO DELEGATION
nay Go From North Carolina to Na¬
tional Republican Convention.
Prominent negroes of North Caro¬
lina have called a state convention for
September 27th and 28th. They .say
they must find out their industrial,
educational and political status.
It is a political move, some think it
is to send only negroes to the next
national republican convention, but
this is denied by others. Much in¬
terest is felt in the call, and surprises
are promised.
