In view of the efforts to bring the In- dian of the present within the rules of civilization, to make him abandon the methods of his ancestors of settling dis- agreements for those practiced by the white man, a visit to the supreme court of the Mcnomonee Indians, located at Green Bay agency, Wisconsin, is of more than ordinary interest. The court is unique, says the Chicago Tribune, in being not only the supreme tribunal from which there is no appeal, but is also lho only court of first resort where a cun be brought to trial. Yot this system with its working attachment of seven Indian police is a most sulutary and potent educational and ilizing agency of great valuo in train- ing the mind in the practical working of clvilized government and the ideas of responsibiiity to law and order and con- soquences of violation. Of course the whole thing is under the sanction of Agent Kelsoy, who holds the veto power to setaside or modify verdict in case of injustice—a power~ he seldom has oceasion to use, because the Indiun’s sense of justice 18 extremely acute. While the court is a training school it is also a convenient vent for the ngent to avoid the decision of cases whove he might incur adverse criticism and onmity; but when a case is tried and decided by the head men of the tribe the verdict is generally acquiesced in as correct. The agent appoints the judges from among the most competont chiefs of the soven different bands in the tribe, so that they in fact are il “'chief” justices; but in a logal sense and the practice of the court no one in particulur haa pre- codence on account of position, rank, or title. However, from a courtesy natural to high dignity, one of the three is gen- erully designited to deliver the decision of the court, which is composed of Chief Justice Nu-wa-to-wopomy, Chief Justice Ma-chicany, and Chief Justice Ne-opet. The latter is the son of the celebrated old Chief **Oshkosh,” after which the second city in the state wus named. I'he regular sessions of the court are on overy alternate Saturday, but it is often in sossion every Suturday, if any cases appear on the docket for trial. As there is no clerk of the court and neither judge cun read or write a word, and no peu, ink, pencil or paper 13 used, it may be proper to expluin that the “docket” consists of complaints lodged with the agent and by him referred to the court for adjudication in ampte form. Of the seven Indian police one at the agency is chief; the othors are located in differcnt settlements und have a speci- fled day to report in person at the agency, 8o that one veport is mude each day. A cuse being on the ‘‘docket” aguinst Wa-nic-socy the agent sends a policeman to inform him of the nature of the case and also to beon hand with wit- nesses for trial.

By his n ringe the archduke sacrificed a brilli care and his rank as field marshal, and he accepted all this, and even pov- erty and banishment, for the sake of the woman whom he loved. As time passed on the imperial displeasure died out. He w allowed to return to his country, and his wife was made a baron- ess. But the two still lived a quiet and hapoy life, dispensing charity, and en- joying the friendship not of princes and princesses, but of men and women gifted in art, music and literature. Now, after long vears of wedded happiness, they have died within twenty-four hours of ench other, so that it may be said of them, as it was of Saul and Jonathaun, they “were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in théir death they were not divided.” Mrs, Winslow's Soothing Syrup is tho bos of all remedies for children teothing. 25 a bottle. s An Elephant Ranch. Another novel enterprise in stock raising is to be added to the ostrich farm, the black cat ranch and the i n_ranches of the Pacific coast. . Newbury of California is enthusi- astic over a project he is about to carry out of starting an elephant ranch in that state. He proposes to cultivate the clephant for its meat and its capac- ity for hard and diversified work. He says that *“as an article of food the ele- phant is superior to the horse,” and most people will be willing to accept his statement, though not fully appreciat- ing its force. He says that behind a tough exterior it hides a tender steak, and that African explorers are profuse in their praise of elephant cutlets. A full grown elephant weighs about 7,000 pounds, and Mr. Newbury counts 6,000 of this as good ment. He is going to train the elephants to pick oranges and hire them out to orange growers.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: PENSIONS ~ FOR ~ LABORERS. Datails of the State Sgstem in Vogue in Germang, RESULT OF TEN MONTHS' TRIAL. An Extraordinary Specimen of Min- gled Paternalism and Socialism ~The Popular Verdict in Its Favor. The German state insucance law, as 1t is led, has now been in force eloven months, A correspondent of the New Yorik Tribune, writing from Berlin, de- scribes the law as anold age annuity rather than an insurance system; and being universal and compulsory of the most extraordinary specimens of mingled paternalism and socialism that any existing government Throughout the empire ing hus been watched with interest, and the popular verdict at present to be almost unanimously in its’ favor. In other countries, ~ too, notably in England, it is closely studied with a’ view to its possible adoption, with, of course, such modifications as the different circumstances and the public spirit might requice. Statistics of its operation 1o all of the states of the empire are not yet accessible, but enough is positively known to vindicate fully the wisdom of the act. The grand duchy of Baden has been somewhat ahead of the rest of Germany in takin, antage of the law and 1n systematically reporting upon its work- ing. There hus been published at Carlsruhe a detailed statement of the work done by the annuity aepartment during the first six months of the law, from January 1 to June 30 of the present year. Perhups these statistics make a rathec more favorable showing than thoso of almost any other state would; because in Baden there was the most complete prep tion for the law, both in machin- ory for executing it and in instruction of the people regarding it. However this may be, in Baden the system is a great success. The number of persons appl ing for annuties in the six months were as follow: Juanug My, 188, February, 911z March, 563; Aps ay, 174 and June 170—a total of 2,677. In the same months the number of annuties granted Januury: 480; Februar, Mareh, 3215 April, 28 and June 254—a tc of course, they will not keep on at any- thing like such a rate. The total popu- lution of Baden is less than 2,000,000, [t has this year had to grant annuities to all eligible applicants of seventy years old and upward; but henceforth it will only be called on to grant them to new applicants as fast as they reach that age. As the state only pays fifty marks a year to each pension the cost of these 2,005 annuities is only 100,250 marks a year. The balance of the pensions, 154,397 marks, comes from the pension fund, which is con- tributed, one-half by holders of the poli- cies, and one-half by their employers, For the purpose of this system tho working population is divided into four classes. In the fi are all who earn less than 350 marks a_year each. They are required to pay into the pension und 7 pfennig n woek, and recaive, after their 70th year, an annuity of 106 marks, 80 pfennig each. The second class comprises those who earn from 350 to 550 marks a year. They pay 10 plennig a week, and receive an annuity of 135 marks. The third class comprises those whose earnings range from 550 to 850 marks.e They pay 12 pfenning a week and reesive 163 marks, 90 plenning a year, And the fourth class includes those who earn from 850 to 2,000 marks a year. They pay 15 pfenning a weolk, and get an annuity of 191 marks, 10 pfenning. Persons earning more than 2,000 marks a year do not come dnder the operation of the law. It is reckoned that they ought to be able to save enough to take care of them- solves in old age. Moreover, ench applicant must prove that he earns at least one-third of the average of wages in his district. Persons .n- capable of earning so much are objects of charity, and this annuity system is not in any sense charity. Kuch appli- cant, too, must have been, before re- ceiving his annuity, a contributor to the fund for at least thirty yeurs; though provision does not, of course apply to those who are now seventy years old. All persons who were moré than forty years old when the law went into effect are allowed to subtract from the thirty years required, the number by which their ages at that time exceeded forty. Thus a man who on Janus 1 was 70 years old, could get his annuity at once; one who was 60 can get it in ten yoars; one who was 50 can get it in twenty and one who was 40 can get it in thirt, These annuities are small. They range, as stated, from about 26 to about $48a year. Lven the latter sum scems a beggarly pittance. 1t is to be remem- bered, however, that the annuities are intended to aid'in procuring only the bare necessities of life, whien are much less costly in Germany than in America. And they are paid, moreover, to all who veach the nge of sevi their condition. is one can show. its work- close seems It is to be supposed that a considerable portion ' of those receiving them will be able also to poon earninz wages for some years to come, 80 that the annuity will not be by any menns their sole support. And, of course,many more will have saved some- thing beside, or will have relatives who will contribute to their support. As to the cost of the system to the government it is claimed that it is an actual saving of movey. The government pays be- tween $12 and $15a year to each pen- sioner. By this “means it pre vents any of the .classes al- fected from becoming paupevs, To maintain a pauper costs about four times as much as is paid to each pen- sion Therefore, if without the annuities one-fourth of the people now aided by them would become paupers, it actually pays, in dollars and cents, to grant the pensions. But would one- fourth become paupers? That would surely be a sturilingly large proportion. One can only say that of late years the number of paupers in nearly all European countries has been increasing at o terriole pace. The number of ulmhouses and kindred institution is legion. And until the American gov- ornment began to take vigorous means to prevent it, there was a vast army of “ussistad” pauper emigrants sent to the United States every year. Indeed, it is interestinggto observe that the origin of this annuity scheme coincides in date pretty closely with the closing of Amer- lea’s doors against bezgars from over the sea. This system, as already stated, is com- pulsory. No German workman is ul- lowed to choose whether or not he will take aavantage of it.

I had recoiled in horror. A man lay bleeding on the trail another wus rifling his pockets. Just then the robber looked up and espied mo.

It was anything but the kind of an ad venture for which I had a taste. ‘Time and again I barely avoided a stab which would have ended the struggle. Thompson was clover with the ugly weapon.

I saw the significant action, and I re- newed my appeal to the excited crowd. It was useless. Nothing could change their minds. I would have given a good deul not to have been in Colorado that morning. The reckless crowd led me to a tree, over one of whose limbs the lariat was thrown, and its noose slipped about my neck. Then the other end of the line was taken by all the impatient men, barving thew leader, and everything was ready for a touch of summary west- ern justic It needed only a pull on the laviat to launch my spirit into eternivy. I guzed upon the leader in a half dazed way—as if I were a drowning man. The ovents of my past life crowded through my brain like a pan- orama. I bad almost ziven up all hope of escaping theawfuldeath the mon had planned to inflict upon me. Like a voice in a dream the words of the party’s leader came to me: *Guilty or not guilty? Don’t die with alie on yor lips.” “Not guilty,” I answered, The men laughed incredulously. The leader had been drinking freely from Thompson’s proffered flu-«h, and he was even more heedless than the rest. My last hope vanished as I saw my words were of no avail. I shut my eyes. *Stop!” eame a voico from the trail. “Hist!” cried the leader. Stop!” came the voice again. I opened my eyes!

G, Hirsch makes the point that the *“‘peculiar people” whose ances- tors once lived in Palestine ought not to be called Hebrews or Israclites, but Jows, says the Chicago Tribune. The word Hebrew is the namo of the lan- guage in which most of the old testa- ment was written, and which at one time was spoken by the members of o race that formed part of the great rmitio family. But it is more than doubtful if the inhabitants of Palestine in the e liest historically known periods were of pure unmixed Hebrew stock; and cer- tainly the peoplo today are not of one racial descent. They have in their veins little, if any, of the blood pure and un- mixed that could properly bo designated as Hebrew. And Dr. Hirsch makes the point that in the light of modern science and advantage of purity of blood is ex- ceedingly problematic, and the relin- quishment of all pretense to such purity is a clear guin. For this reason no one should today call himself a Hebrew, and it might be well if the mes of some charities were corrected accordingly. The name lsvaclite is equally objec- tionable. *‘Israel™ originally designated the confederation of the various tribes, whose central sanctuary must have been at Sinai, and who claimed descent from one common father. Later it designated the northern kingdom, and with the de- struction of Sama fsraelitish nation- ality in this restricted sense of the word ceased to exist. As none of the modern Jews entertain the hope of a national toration, and as reformed Judaism insists upon the universal char- acter of the Jewish mission, the use of the term Isruelite may justly boregarded as an anachronism. Its sur per- haps due to the undeniable fact that the word *“Jew,” especially on the continent of ISurope, has been burdened with a flavor of vulgar suspicion. But this fact should not intluenco the people today in the choico of the name they adopt. His- torically the modern religion of the Jew is in the line of direct dn\n-lupmnnl from the religion of Judah, the most southern section of Palestine. In Jerusalem stood the temple, and it is now established by and dellciously ae the fresh frults biblical ticisw that Judaism i3 the re- ligion which under Ezra and Nehemiah took form and shape. the result of a loug-preceding process of formation.
