China Lets Opportunity Quit, China has miszed her opportunity. The Iatest cablo advices from (he F.owery King- dom assert that a treaty has been nego- tiated by Minister Conger which wili give | the United States greater advantages than | ever before in the matter of Chinese tar- iffs. It was believed here that tha Chinese | authorities would use the opportunity af- forded by the expiration of the present commercial treaty to force the United Btates to make concessions in the matter of exclusion laws. In fact, there are a number of attorneys in Washington who expected to arrange with the Chinese gov- ernment to represent the empire here and o bring about a treaty which would insure & modification of the exclusion act. The fact that a treaty has been praciically eompletad, which makes no referencs to the Question of immigration, would eeem to In- | dleate that the Chinese government is by no means anxious to increass the facilitles for the depariure of its working population from (ts shores. As to the Canal. | It is doubtful It there are three happler | men In the United States today than S:n- ator Morgan of Aalbama, ex-Senator Miller of New York and Representative Hepburn of lowa. No trio of statesmen worked as industriously or as faithfully for legislation looking to the federal indorsement of the Nicaraugua canal scheme as these three. The fact that the Republie of Colombla his absolutely dealined to take any step toward arranging with the United States for the construction of the Pafama canal gives \he Broatest- satisfuction to Messrs, Morgan, Miller and Hepburn. Ex-Senator Miller has sunk a great many thousands of dollars in preliminary work along the Nicaraugua route and he is quoted as saying that ha 8ees In the present situation an oppoMunity for himseif and confreres to reccup in part, at least, the losses which they have thus | far sustained. Messrs, Miller, Hepburn and Morgan are confident that the presi- dent will use his prerogative and take steps toward constructing a canal along ihe Nic- aragua route. On the other hand there is excellent reason for believing that legisla- tion will bé enacted to nullify the act of congress authorizing the president to ta'te #teps to bulld a canal.

BOYS SAY THEY ARE WELL CARED FOR Work on the Farm, Attend School and Are Given Opporiunities to Play, Have Plenty of Food and Com- fortably Provided For. WISNER, Neb:, Oct. 4.—(Special.)—This community is somewhat wrought up over the report of Rev. Father Ruesing relative to the Wisner branch of the Tabigha homs, wherein it is held that the boys coanccted with the home there were not properly fed, were overworked and were denied many pleasures and that thefr education was neglected, and that typhold fever had pre- valled among certain of the inmates, etc. This branch of the Tabitha home, it should be borne in mind, has been created for the special benefit of orphan boys and such others as come under the care of the home. The purpose of its establishment Is to give the boys a practical education along agricultiral lines, encourage habits of industry and give them a good business education. This home is located at Salem and is on the extensive and magnificently equipped ranch of 200 acres, owned ‘by Henry Lelsy, pfe:ident of the Citizens' Na- tional Bank of Wisner, and the home is under his direct observation. The adverse report submitted by Rev. Father Ruesing to Governor Mickey has stimulated the friends and occupants of the Salem home to submit to the governor a number of affidavits denying the essontial features of Father Ruesing's report. Henry Lelsy Speaks. Mr. Henry Lelsy, the owner of the ranch upon which the Salem home is located, af- firms that there has never been a case of typhold fever on the farm since it has been in his possession, he having acquired it in 1881, and rather than Reing conducive to sickness the location is a healthy ane. That it 18 his alm to give the boys at Salem a go0d practical husiness education and make of them good, Industrious, Christian citi- zens. That as to their home, school and treatment, he is doing nothing which he desires to be kept from the public, but in- vites public Inspection and visits from his nelghbors and the public In general at all times. That when he made the lease with Rev. Helner he required him to pay the boys who live and work upon the farm 2 per cent of his share of the profi it was to his pecuniary interest to have a g00d home, good wholesome food, good sleeping rooms well furnished, provided for the boys at this home. That there was nothing In the management or treatment of these orphan boys that he deeires to have kept in the dark or from the public. He turther requests that public condemnation be withheld until a thorough investigation be made by unprejudiced parties, in order that justice may be done to all parties cone cerned. He states further that it is his in- tention to bulld and maintain here a good agricultural school and a home which shall be open at all times to the poor orphan boy, as well as to the rich man's son, where the habits of Industry can be learned and where the boys can obtain a thorough knowledge of agriculture and a good busi- neés education. Statement of Inmates. George White of Lincoln, son of Rev. White of that city, testified that he was an inmate of the Home of the Leisy ranch for two months. He was 1§ years of age, and his buSineds was overseelng &nd herding sheep during week days and teaching a class in the Sunday school at Salem on Sunday. He stated that he lked living there better than any place he ever worked, he was glven the opportunity to learn agriculture in all its branches and was very much pleased with the treat- ment he had recelved at the hands of the superintendent, Mr. Helner. They were served with good, wholesome food, and had plenty to eat. The beds were good, clean and warm. The boys were required to%get up at 5§ o'clock In the summer and 6 o'clock In the fall and winter. He thought the Home was a good place for boys and | he particularly, was delighted with it. Frank Ebel, aged 17 years, had been at the home since the middje of February. In response to the query as to whether Su- perintendent Helner paid him for services, and which Father Ruesing in his report to the governor says he did not, Young Ebel “There will be nothing due me un- of 1903 is fed to stock and the stock mar- keted."” When asked If he wi the boy whom Father Ruesing reported to the gov- ernor as having the fever, he replied, *‘Yes. But I was not sick when Father Ruesing saw me, but I had been In bed a few da: previous. While I was sick I was care- fully nursed and looked after by Mr. and Mrs. Lelsy, Superintendent Heiner and the boys. T like it here very well. We get all the time to go swimming we want."” George Balsbury, aged 12 years, testified that he attended the day school and Sun- day school at the Salem Home, and that P. A. Brich taught the day school and George White the Sunday school class of which he was & member. He testified to having plenty to eat, and had plenty of time to play, about three hours each day; that he had a good bed. School Advantages. P. A. Birch testified tha{ he was a| teacher at Salem. He studied four years at the Omaha high school, was a graduate of the University of Nebraska, taking the A. B. degree, and that he took a two- years' post graduate course under Prof. Lyon, and a course in pedagogy under Prof. Lukey. He teaches six hours during the day and from one to.two hours at night. The teaching at night'is mostly along agricultural lines, but also in arith- metic. Willlam Haefliger, an fnmate of the home, testified that he was almost 15 years of age. He llkes it there very well He is not required to attend school because of his having attended the Lincoln high school. Likes the work there, has plenty of time to go swimming and works but seven and a half or elght hours per day. Is not compelled to work beyond his strength. Charley Long testified that he was 15 years of age. He was there when Father Ruesing inspected the home. Did not re- port to him that he was required to get up at 4 o'clock In the morning. He was awakened about 5:45 by Superintendent Heiner and gets up at 6 o'clock. Has been cooking since the family that did the cook- ing left, some three weeks ago. Is helped in doing the cooking by George Bolesclik and by Mrs. Leisy often. Would prefer remaining at the home than go back to Lincoln, because he could get a good knowledge of agriculture.

SPOLIATION OF THE INDIAN Hiram Chase Urges that Axe Be Lald the Foot of the E at PENDER, Neb., Oct. 2~To the Editor of the Bee: Ypur paper is to be com- mended for the part it has taken in bring- ing to view the deplorable state of affairs at the Omahg and Winnebago Indian reser- vations, wherein it appears that the “In- dlan wards of the nation” have been the prev of a few favored land “grabbers” in league with bad officlals. It will be labor lost if The Bee shduld quit the field now; through its columns much has been done, that will ameliorate the condition of the Indians, as well as to deter avarice and greed from making further spoil upon & weak and helpless peo- ple; but at this stage of a long drawn fight for principle, it must be observed evils do or do mot exist on these Indian reservations, as that since the crime of plundering and making spoil of a weak people is abundantly proven, what meas- ure of punishment,is to be meted out, or what remedy is to be applied to prevent the recurrence of these shocking evils? and it 18 to this point—that of inaugurating a better policy In the treatment of the In- dians on these reservations that the thun- ders of newspaperdom ought now to be di- rected. To one who has given some thought upon the question in hand, it scems that the so- {called “Indian Question” to the govern- |ment, is in many respects what the ‘“col- onfal policy” was to the British empire; orators on either side of the question rea- son well, but upon false premises and doc- trines; and it seems to be upon the same plan that legislators pass laws for the government of Indian affairs, till now we have a so-called “policy,” the tendency of which is to wrest from the Indlan, under {1aws to which he has never consented, the {lands secured to him by solemn treaties | with the government. To those informed it appears that the law under which it is supposed that Indlans are given the boon of selling thelr homes under the gulse of so-called “heirship” lands, is merely an Instance of unconstitutional laws passed by congress upon Indian affairs, as such a law Is nugatory in its attempt to divest rights under former acts and treaties with the Indian tribes; that this point on con- stitutional law is well taken s abundantly supported by the opinions of the highest court in the land is beyond controversy. The “Indlan policy” now in vogue must be fundamentally wrong in principle, which must require an eternal watch upon the conduct of those officers sent to protect the ‘‘wards of the natlon"—one which necessitates a perlodical exposition of un- | consclonable practices even of ‘‘respect | able citizens in their deals with the In- dians. Under these conditions, like the ghost of Banquo, the ‘Indian Question” will not down till a better system, based on rational ideas be established for (he { conduct of our Indian affairs, ‘Let it be remembered that the “kick’ on #he part of the Indian and his friend fis not so much on the ground that the so- called “heirship” lands are not bringing prices according to true value, but the complaint goes to question the wisdom of the “policy’ which must sooner or later wrest from the Indian his ancient home and patrimony sccured to him by solemn treaties with the government and drive him naked if he survives the wreck, “a vaga- bond throughout the earth." This policy of opening the daor for the plunder and the perpetration of frauds upon the “wards of the nation” as the best means at hand of ‘clvilizing and Christianizing” our Indlan tribes, is with- out support of any known principle of man's relation to his fellow being under any state or condition anclent or modern, which must address itself to the profound contemplation of an inteliigent people. If treaties have been entered into with a weak nation, it will be to the honor and glory of the more powerful that her officers and citizens live up to them to the letter, instead of violating these obligations. Treatics are but another form In which the laws of a country are expressed; let these laws be enforced and lived up to no matter under what facts or conditions, In Indian affairs as much as in any other depart- ment of government; In the faithful inter- pretation an execution of the law no one can be injured, except wrong-doers. The Indlan question has had too many utoplan theories; private opinions, and sentimen- talism has usurped the sceptre of cold facts and eternal principles of justice and hu- manity towards a yet weak and ignorant race. HIRAM CHASE. DEFENSE IN FRYMIRE CASE Seek to Prove Defend fiiet* Fatal Inju Deceased. t Did Not In- STOCKVILLE, Neb., Oct. 4.—(Special.)— At four o'clock yesterday afterncon & recess w. taken in the Frymire murder case to allow the defendant's foster mother, Mrs. W. D. Frymire, to recover from @ sudden {liness. The defense called its first witnesses. They attempt to prove by them that the injuries inflicted by the defendant upon Mrs. Tracy Puls were not necessarily | fatal. Witnesses were called to prove the friendly relations between Frymire and the dead girl, but very little of their testl- mony reached the jury. Much of the time was taken by the discussion betwen the at- torneys regarding the admission of evi- dence. The defendant's foster father, W. D. Frymire, was on the stand and testified to the marriage relations of the defen- dant and Tracy Oldenburg and identified the .marrlage contract between the two. He gave other testimony that was of mo particular importance. An attempt was made by the defense to show that Puls married Tracy Olden- burg, believing her to be Frymire's wife. County Attorney O. E. Bogarth of Gosper was the witness., Puls called on him at El'wood and asked if the marriage con- tract was binding. The witness however, was not allowed to testify to the conver- sation between himself and Puls. Puls testified yesterday that he married Tracy Puls, knowing her to be enclente. Gives Newsdealers a Seare. FREMON Neb., Oct. 4.—(8peclal.)— Some ne dealers are much interested over the intentions of an unknown man who was here yesterday. He visited every news stand and stationery store, looking over the stock carefully, especially the Wild Bill blood and thunder kind of lit- erature and story papers of a loud class. He declined to give his name or residence to anyone and told them that he was a representat of a reform organization whose object was to prevent the sale of literature of the tough kind and that prose- cutions would follow In case certain lurid periodicals and loud pletured yellow- backed books were kept for sale. , Two Attempts = telde.

LINCOLN, Oct. 4.—(Speclal)—In all probability the question whether the re- gents of the state university should fur- nish text books to the students of that Institution at cost, will be injected into the campaign and the candidates for the re- gency will be given an opportunity to state their positions on the question. The pa- rents of the students are deeply Interested in the matter, and as it is too late for the present regents to do anything this term, it Is more than likely the candidates will be called upon to tell what they Intend to do about it if elected. C. 8. Allen of Lincoln, one of the re- publican nominees said this morning: “I have had no opportunity to look up the law in the case, though I know the statutes contain & provision that the regents of the university should furnish text books at cost. If no appropriation has heen made for them to do this, and they should at- tempt to use the temporary university fund, then of course the matter would be up to the auditor to say whether he would issue the warrants. If such a plan on the part of the regents would be for the best Interests of the students and it could be legally done, then of course I would be in favor of the regents furnishing the books. However, I have given the matter no thought whatever, and am not familiar with the provisions of the law, and neither have I investigated to see the good polnts of suck a scheme.” Now that the report of Superintendent Clarke of the Peru normal school shows that $1,100 has been saved to the students in this purchase of books during the first term of the yvear, and that the school only has an attendance of 425 students, those at- tending the state university and those parents who pay the bills, are becoming more and more interested In the matter, and are anxlous that something be done. The executive committee of the State Teachers' association met at the Lindell hotel Saturday night and arranged the de- tails of the program of the holiday meet- ing of the assoclation. The speakers for the cvening meetings will include Frank “Roberson, who will deliver his illustrated lecture on “Norway;" ex-Chancellor James H. Canfield and Rev. Joseph H. Nugent of Des Moines, who will talk on the *Phil- osophy of Civillzation.” For the general Instyuctional work the committee has se- cured Dr. Hale, professor of Roman lit- erature of Chicago university; and for primary instruction Miss Adalaide Holton, formerly of Salt Lake but now of Minnea- polis, and Miss Cooper supervisor of pri- mary work in Omaha. Frank Robeérson will deliver his lecture on the evening of December 30, Rev. Nugent the next evening and Dr. Canfield the even- ing following that. , The state spelling con- test will occur on lay afternoon of the session. The evening sessions will be held at the Bt. Paul church. To look after the visitors a local committee has been ap- pointed, consisting of Superintendent W. L. Stephens, I. 8. Cuter, J. W, Crabtree, E. C. Rewick, J. I Wyer, H. K. Wolfe and E. C. Bishop.. It ia expected that fully 2,600 teachers will,bp in attendance, Burglars last night gained entrance to the' Ploneer barber hdp in the basement at Eleventh and Q streets, took the safe from the room and broke it open with a sledge hammer. They secured nearly $100 and 200 clgars. The safe was found today beneath the walk In front of the shop. Entrance was gained by unlocking a window which opens beneath the walk. The police have a clue to the identity of the men and expect to make arrests soon.
