T° name of ‘Modoc Jack” to-day {s forgotten. A generation ago it wes almost as well known throughout America, and especially in the Far West, as that of the President himself. Here is “Jack's” story: The Modocs were a troublesome Indian tribe belonging to the Klamath MORE TONEY. “nation” and living in California, The name “Modoc” means “enemy,” and ESALOR AunleiS ReaSil ) | the tribe won it fairly, They were ever at war.

In money matters their rela- fions are closer still. As chair- man of the Finance Committee of the Senate, whatever Senator Aldrich does and says officially is popularly regarded as the atti- tude of “The System.” Part of “The System” is the Standard Oil Company, part is the Standard Oil Banks, part is the great trusts. The whole is “The System” by which a few men are enabled to take the earnings and sav- ings of other men and thereby become enormously rich. Senator Aldrich has introduced a bill to prevent any more panics by enabling the banks to get what money they desire from the United States Treasury. He proposes that banks may deposit gilt-edged Stock Exchange collateral and get $500,000,000 thereon, There is no doubt that this would obviate suspensions of bank pay- ments such as happened in October and November. With an. active| printing press money can be produced faster than any bank will be called on to pay it out. | According to Senator Aldrich, there will then be no more panics, no | more bank suspensions, and prosperity will return and permanently con. | tinue. The argument that the printing of additional money brings pros- | perity was the old Greenback party's platform, except that the Green- | ®ackers wanted the Government to make the profits itself. According | to Senator Aldrich { never do, because the country would be | prosperous only when the banks made the profi In 1852 one of these settlers, Benjamin Wright by name, hit on a plan to avenge himself for wrongs stiffered at the tribe's hands. He invited forty-si® Modocs to a banquet, and, having plied them with liquor (to which they were | unaccustomed) until they were helpless, murdered forty-one of them. This barbarous act, worthy of the lowest savage mind, was never forgote ten by the Indians. They retaliated by a series of outrages that dragged on intermittently for twelve years. Then, by treaty, the Modocs were sent to the Klamath agency, or resere vation, and for a time there was peace. But the reservation was barren and almost void of game and fish. The tribe could not eke out a living there. The Government agents and local P : traders defrauded them.

Complainta had been made to the Government inst him, and when he and his fole lowers left the reservation those complaints poured if afresh. Jack was ordered to return with his band to their “agency.” He re- fused and defied the authorities to capture him.
