Mexico’s Two Indian Wars

THE Mexican Government, at the present time, has two Indian wars on its hands, one in the Northwest, among the Yaqui tribe, and the other in the Southeast, among the Yucatan Indians. With the Yaquis, it is a quarrel over the possession of their land; with the Yucatans, the quarrel is over the payment of internal revenue to the Mexican Government on the manufacture of liquor and other products. The last-mentioned quarrel is causing much distress among the laboring classes, who dare not enter the forests to follow their accustomed occupations among the forests of precious woods with which the country abounds.

"TRUSTS AND THE LAW."

A RECENT Thrice-a-Week World (August 21), under the above heading, has the following:—
"During the past week the prices of beef and other meat have been advanced from two to five cents a pound by a combination of Western packers. There is no pretense that beef is scarcer or that it costs more to make it. It is admitted that the price is raised arbitrarily in order to make good to the trust its temporary losses incurred in establishing a meat monopoly in England.
"Meanwhile trusts continue to multiply in all the other necessaries of life. Within the week there were organized— "A Cotton-Goods Trust, "An Ice Trust, "A Hide and Leather Trust, "An Asphalt Trust.
"These simply supplement the hundreds of other trusts and monopolies formed during the present year, seeking to control the production and fix the prices of nearly every article of general use.
"The latest combinations cover— "The food we eat, "The clothing we wear, "The shoes for our feet, "The ice required for health and comfort, "The modern pavements for our streets.
"Are there no laws against these 'conspiracies in restraint of trade'—these combinations of Greed against Need?
"O, yes! There is a stringent Federal anti-trust law, and most of the States, including New York and Illinois, have statutes of a similar character.
"Why are not these laws enforced?"
And then, after speaking of the "powerlessness" of State and Federal officials to enforce the laws, the World concludes: "And so there we are—at the mercy of the trusts. Nobody to blame. Everybody powerless."
Beef Trust.—A trust of four firms control most of the beef of this country, from the pasture to the table. Their business in the course of a year amounts in round numbers to $335,000,000. Another firm, distributer for the trust, has a business of $12,000,000. The profits of the trust are said to exceed $19,300,000 a year. Senator Vest, of Missouri, who was on an investigating committee, said that while there was an advance of but one per cent. in the price of cattle, beef had advanced from ten to fifteen cents a pound; and while the work of the trust is contrary to law, "the Federal Government seems powerless to prevent it." It is said that all this falls heaviest upon the poor man; let us say to him that he may obtain relief in dropping the flesh diet, and turning to legumes, whole-meal or graham bread, whole-wheat bread, corn-meal bread, vegetables, etc. Flesh meat is not only not a necessity, it is not the best food, even for the laborer in manual pursuits. We are not theorizing in this; we know whereof we speak.
THE pope has bestowed medals on the Catholic sailors of the Olympia, the flag-ship of Admiral Dewey. He also sent an autograph letter to the admiral. There is scarcely a day passing that does not bring something to light, showing the aggressions of the Papacy. And it is particularly to be remarked that the pope is doing everything he can to ingratiate himself into the good feelings of this country. And the success that he meets shows that the once pronounced Protestantism of this nation is weakening down to almost nothing. Some may think that this is caused by the "liberal" spirit of this age. But do not be deceived by such things. The Papacy stands just where she has always stood, but Protestantism has retrograded toward Rome. This will soon result in the full restoration of the Papacy. Prophecy has predicted it, and everything shows that it will soon come to pass. And when it is considered that the fulfilment of this prophecy is one of the closing acts in the scenes of this world's history, it is made manifest that these movements of the Papacy should be both watched and studied. And our Catholic friends should be the most interested of any in the study of this subject. In pointing to these things we do it with the sincerest kindness toward all. We regard the matter as a fulfilment of a clear prophecy, and believe it to be a Christian duty to give the warning. In these thrilling times prejudices should all be laid to one side, and we should come directly to the Word of God, and ask that the Holy Spirit be given to us abundantly, so that we make no mistakes.
THE pope has announced that he will soon open negotiations with the United States with a view to regulating the position of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. It is said that this announcement of Leo was read with much interest by the officials of the State Department at Washington. They say that the Constitution forbids them from receiving anything from the pope as such, but that, as a private citizen or a distinguished foreigner, they can communicate with him. The State Department says: "If, as a distinguished private citizen, the pontiff of the Catholic Church can suggest a means through which the followers in the Philippines can be brought into submission under a pledge that religious tolerance and the fullest possible measure of human liberty is to be given them, this government will be glad to receive his views." If any one has doubted that the trend of events in this country is surely leading us back into the maze of Church and State union, let him think seriously of this occurrence. It seems passing strange that the State Department should manifest such a willingness to have any religious prelate tell them how to run the government in the Philippines. But in the condition that this government was when it took the Philippines, it was a foregone conclusion that it would get into tangling alliances with the Catholic Church. These are most intensely ominous steps. It is important that you should keep your eye on them and study what they mean.
A GENTLEMAN, with his headquarters at St. Paul, Minn., has been active recently in forming a trust of the photoengravers. Some of the firms in Chicago that are interested in this business have caused the St. Paul man to be arrested for conspiracy to control prices. This event could not have any significance only as it is one of many similar things that are happening, all of which show that the world is coming into the greatest struggle of all time. The trust is aggressive and powerful, and the opposition is becoming more determined. Men everywhere recognize these appalling conditions; but do you know what they portend? Every one should be made aware of the fact that the end of all things is right at hand, and our minds should be resolutely turned from the turmoil and intrigues of these times to a preparation for the kingdom of God. Men everywhere should repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
IT seems to be the general impression of the British press that war in the Transvaal is inevitable. The English officials are firm in pressing their claims in Africa, and it is generally believed that the Boers have decided to strike before the British can get ready, and thereby gain as much advantage as possible. It causes a feeling of solemnity to come over the mind whenever England is about to take up arms, even tho her contest may be with a very insignificant African republic. For England is so thoroughly mixed up with all the countries of the world, and there is such an antipathy in many nations because of her aggressive commercial and colonial policy, that international intrigues and quarrels are almost sure to follow. As insignificant as the present contest in Africa may seem to many, yet nevertheless it may bring forth wars in other unexpected places before it ends. For these are times in which the war spirit is running high, and there is no knowing what a day may bring forth.
THE present course of the German Government toward those who caused the defeat of the emperor's canal bill, is arousing much opposition, adverse comment, irritation, and dissatisfaction throughout Germany. The canal bill was a pet measure of the emperor, and was in direct line with his measures for the increase of the imperial navy; but, much to the emperor's disappointment, it was defeated by a considerable majority. Now the government has temporarily suspended and placed on half pay a number of those who, on account of the great expense involved, defeated the bill. The affair is causing the more dissatisfaction from the fact that the constitution provides that the deputies may vote as they please. Thus is being fanned the flame of hatred for rulers that is to increase the perils and terrors of the times up to the time when the Prince of Peace shall come to set up that kingdom which shall never be destroyed, the heritage of the saints of the Most High.
THE rioting among the negroes in the neighborhood of Darien, Georgia, still continues, and, altho the State militia is on the ground, the colored people are still determined, and more bloodshed may follow. Just as far as possible we should inculcate sentiments that will relieve this terribly strained relation between the whites and the blacks in the South. And the one thing that will help matters is the Gospel just as it is in Jesus Christ. Men but faintly realize the portent of this condition that now exists in the South. Instead of treating it lightly, or looking upon it as something that will soon blow over, it should be seen that the indications are clear that a great storm is brewing. The race problem is one of the biggest problems that this country has to handle.
GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE has made an elaborate report on the existing conditions in that part of the territory of Cuba over which he has jurisdiction, and takes emphatic ground for a free and independent republic in the island, under a protectorate, for a time, of the United States. This report takes up the conditions in Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces, town by town, showing a general improvement throughout the western end of the island, and indicates that there is not now as much suffering for lack of food as has been claimed in unofficial reports. General Lee urges the taking of a census as the first step in the establishment of self-government in the island, and advises the holding of general elections for the selection of officers for the new republic.
PALOMA SCHRAMM, a little child ten years of age, is said to be a wonderful musical prodigy. Her parents put her before the public, and leading musicians showered compliments upon her. At the expiration of a year of this public, excitable life she is a broken-down, nervous wreck. The place for little ten-year-old children is in the quiet of the home, and not in the exciting, nervous currents of public parade. Parents should think too much of their children to allow them to be destroyed. No amount of flattery should ever induce them to give way to have their children ruined; for ruin is almost certain to follow where a child is pushed out before the public to amuse and entertain the vast, applauding crowds.
THE well-known English writer, Mr. Frederick Greenwood, says, in the Nineteenth Century—
"We are at the beginning of what will be best understood, perhaps, as a great 'world-movement,' and merely to keep safe in it, England must henceforth maintain a navy corresponding in magnitude with the enormous armies of Continental Europe. What has been thought abnormal must be considered normal; for, what with extension of frontier, and what with the trade fight, which at a microscopic view would almost resemble the struggle for air in the Black Hole of Calcutta, it is now with us as with these much-pitied continental nations. As they are armed so, at least, must we be."
A DESPATCH from Shanghai states that serious trouble has broken out between the Germans and the Chinese in the Kiaochau hinterland. Six Chinamen were shot in the skirmish. The German minister to China has handed an ultimatum to the Chinese Government, telling them that unless security of life and property is maintained in the hinterland Germany will take steps to protect her own interests. This is one more of the constantly-recurring incidents that show the warlike conditions of these times, and no one knows how soon the flames of war may burst forth.
THE United States troop-ship, Morgan City, which left San Francisco on August 10, with 734 officers and enlisted men for the Philippines, encountered a typhoon near Kobe, Japan, on September 3, and was driven upon the rocks and wrecked. The crew succeeded in beaching the ship, and all were saved. A transport from Manila is expected to pick up the stranded regulars and convey them to their destination.
THE revolutionists in the republic of Santo Domingo have overcome the hitherto existing government, and a provisional government is now in power, holding the reins until the new president shall be selected. General Juan Isidro Jimenez has left Cuba to become a candidate for the presidency of the little republic, and most of the towns are reported to have already declared in favor of his election.
YELLOW fever has appeared at New Orleans, Louisiana, and strict quarantine has been declared against this place by other cities in the South.

THE INDIANS OF THE UNITED STATES.

By W. N. Glenn

THERE is probably no more striking rebuttal of the claim that "this is a Christian nation" than the Indians. The claim is based on the assumption that the first white men who came from the Old World were professed Christians, and made some pretense of taking possession of the New World in the name of Christianity. But the land was already owned by people whom God had created and for whom Christ gave His life, and those professed Christians who landed on the Atlantic and gulf shores took forcible possession, not only robbing the Indians of their property, but murdering them in "civilized warfare" style when they dared to resist the encroachments of the "Christian" usurpers.
When the first European immigrants landed on the continent there were, it is estimated, about three million Indians within the present territory of the United States. How will this "Christian nation" account for them and their descendants? All that can be said is that they are dead; the powder and ball, the fire and sword, the rum and robbery of the white man have practically annihilated them. To-day there are scarcely a quarter million of them. General Nelson A. Miles, commander of the army—who has had large experience in running them from rock to tree, from plain to mountain—is accredited with saying that "the wrecks of broken promises on the part of the government are strewn all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific." And it is well known to men of experience in the Indian regions of the West for the last half century that about all the Indian depredations and uprisings have been the result of the white man's treacherous dealings with the red man.
The Indians were noted for hospitality and liberality until the white man's treachery and cupidity destroyed confidence. No more sober people ever lived until the white man's intoxicating beverages were thrust upon them. Their laws against marital infidelity were the most rigid, and their women among the most virtuous to be found in the world, until the white man overcame their scruples by his tempting bribes. After becoming fully imbued with the idea that the white man was their inveterate foe, they deemed it the proper thing to retaliate in kind, with interest added if possible. From the Indian's standpoint it was patriotism to defend his hunting-grounds, it was heroism to kill those who disregarded his rights, and it was justice to steal from those who robbed and swindled him. A certain commanding officer once uttered the sentiment that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian," and he carried on his "protection of the frontier" on that principle. Others followed out that theory, and it was not surprising that the Indian thought the white man bad even after he was dead, showing his contempt by scalping and otherwise mutilating the dead victim of his prowess. The Indians were heathen, the white men represented a so-called "Christian nation"—but the selfsame spirit controlled both.
But the past can not be mended; what is the prospect for the few who are left? What is being done, and what can be done for them? Here is a picture that is worthy of consideration by those who are either nominally or really working for the souls of those who are generally reckoned as heathen. It is told in a paper published in St. Louis, Mo., entitled Everlasting Gospel:—
There are eighteen tribes in Arizona, and in only eleven of them is there any work being done by Protestant missionaries. California has two tribes, with three missionaries; Colorado, three tribes and one mission station; Idaho, seven tribes, with only three missions; Nevada, five tribes and one missionary. There are in California, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah, forty-seven Indian tribes, with populations ranging from 100 to 20,500. Twenty-seven of these tribes have no Protestant missionary; and when, with these figures, we take into consideration the fact that in the tribes where some work is being done the force is entirely inadequate, and sometimes very little of the real truth of God is preached, we see in some measure the sad condition of this long-neglected people. The United States Indian agent for the Navajos and Moquis, who has traveled extensively over their territory, states that there is not a Christian Navajo on the reservation; and after a careful observation of many months on the field, meeting and talking with hundreds of this tribe, our missionaries have yet to find the first ray of Gospel light. What an awful fact that here in our own so-called Christian land these people have lived for centuries in heathen darkness!
Three of the Oldest Indian Women in the United States.
Three of the Oldest Indian Women in the United States.
Many other tribes in the United States present as dark a picture. The Moquis, located on a reservation in Northern Arizona, have three missionaries; this would seem to be an ample supply, but when the real facts are laid before us we see how misleading these figures are. They live in eight villages, ranging from one to fifty miles apart. Three of these villages have missionaries, leaving five villages without the sound of the Gospel.
The Navajos, numbering 20,500, and scattered over a large reservation, have but four missionaries, and not less than ninety per cent. of them have never heard of the provision made at the cross for the believing sinner. Some of them have heard the name of God spoken in derision and profanity, but they have no idea of what the name means, and are surprised when for the first time they have the life-giving Word unfolded to them.
This is a true picture of some of the tribes that have missionaries. What must be the awful condition of the many for whom no effort has ever been made, who for year after year have lived and died having no hope and without God!
It may be added that there are some attempts on the part of the government at conducting schools among the Indians, some of which have been good in a secular way, and some have been bad in every sense,—all of them being subject to the vicissitudes of politics, and therefore the objects of more or less speculation and intrigue. At least such have been the continual reports of men who have been in position to know. From these schools the Indians can not, in the very nature of things, learn much in the way of true Christianity. The schools are almost entirely compulsory institutions; that is, the children are compelled to leave their homes in order to attend them. The idea seems to be that it is necessary to keep them away from their parents as much as possible, until they become as nearly like the white people as is at all practicable. This is the false idea of civilization, as it is also too much the false idea of Christianity in the meager attempts to teach them about Christ and the Gospel. One of the worst evils of their education is that the white man is made the standard, and the pupils come too near the goal in its worst features. The results of such work are to lead the young away from their parents, with their minds imbued with feelings of superiority. They are fitted to take advantage of the uneducated ones in their tribes, rather than to be to them examples of profitable progress. And whatever of religious instruction comes to them through the medium of government support or control can hardly fail to be mixed with the Church-and-State spirit.
If there is a class of people, at home or abroad, to whom those priding themselves on their American citizenship are indebted, it is the Indian class. And as Christians, there are none who have higher claims upon our Christian charity than those who have fallen among thieves in our very midst. W. N. GLENN.

HIS PICTURE IN MY HEART.

By Cyrus Simmons

I HEARD a knocking while I sat And read the Book of sacred lore; So sweet the voice, so faint the rap, I list to hear the knock once more.
"Lo, at thy door I stand and knock," To me thus spoke the soft, still voice; "Why stay the bars, why turn the lock, Why will ye die, why hell thy choice?"
The door I ope'd, and flung it wide, And bade the honored Guest come in; "Thy heart I'll wash; in it abide, And cleanse it, heal it, from all sin."
First demon self hence bade He hie, And follow quick all pride and hate, Lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, And appetite I ne'er could sate.
He washed and healed it with His blood, With His own life He made it clean; Oft self returned, and knocked and stood, And claimed a right to enter in.
His glazing lies me most deceived, So long, so hard he struggling died. I love the Guest whom erst I grieved;— Leave not my heart, leave not my side.
Illumed my chambers with the light That shines refulgent from the Son; Enthroned, He sits where once sat night; Hell's gloom is gone, lo, heaven is come!
The radiance round so perfect falls, So perfect lights and shades each part, His picture shines upon the walls— My God is imaged in my heart.
O, paint, ye rays of righteousness, In every act, in every word, That lovely smile, that Saviour-face, Where God is seen, where God is heard!

SAN FRANCISCO HELPING HAND AND MEDICAL MISSION.

By E. E. Parlin

WITH the prayer of the widow and orphan for the blessing of God upon the work of the Mission comes a letter from Montreal, Canada. Accompanying this messenger of peace was a donation of $2.00 for the work. It was just a word, but what a train of thought came in of the possible sacrifice and self-denial that found its joy in lifting the burden from some poor wanderer! It is such experiences as these that make rich in blessings bestowed.
While the commission houses of San Francisco are dumping tons of fruit into the bay, we wish that our friends and patrons in the country would remember the needs of the Helping Hand, and see that some of this surplus finds its way to the Mission. We are nearing the time when those who have found employment for a time in the country will be coming into the cities, and donations of supplies and produce will be an actual saving in dollars and cents to the cause. We trust that our friends will keep this need in mind.
The July summary of Mission work is as follows: Gospel meetings held . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 Attendance at Gospel meetings . . . . . . . . . . 1,085 Bible classes conducted . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 Attendance at Bible classes . . . . . . . . . . . . 365 Individual Bible readings held . . . . . . . . . . 213 Requests for prayer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 129 Professed conversions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Treatments given . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 169 Surgical operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Examinations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Lodgings given . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,592 Meals served (penny lunches) . . . . . . . . . 28,502 Free lodgings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 700 Free lunches . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10,113 Garments given away . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 197 Baths given . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 479 Suits fumigated . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 408 Using free laundry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 199 Men furnished temporary employment . . . . 472 Men furnished positions . . . . . . . . . . . . . 123 Pages of literature distributed . . . . . . . . . 2,929

OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

By Editor

A CAMP-MEETING will be held at Kingfisher, O. T., September 21 to October 2.
THERE is to be a camp-meeting at Columbus Junction, Iowa, September 26 to October 1.
As a result of tent work at Lewis, Cass County, Iowa, eight persons accepted the truth as presented by the laborers.
OHIO CONFERENCE has re-elected Brother R. R. Kennedy president. An additional German laborer has been placed in that field.
AT the recent Emerson, Kansas, camp-meeting five persons were baptized. A number of others deferred the ordinance until they should return to their homes. Elder J. W. Adams administered the baptism.
AT the recent State camp-meeting at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, a collection was taken for the purpose of establishing a printing office and a broom factory at Mt. Vernon Academy, to give students opportunity to partially work their way in the school.
A NOTE from Brethren O. S. Ferren and C. H. Abbott, who labor in the Wyoming field, mentions a meeting on the banks of Green River. Their letter closes as follows: "August 23, standing close to the water's edge, we talked to those who were present, about baptism and a holy life, after which two candidates were buried with their Lord in baptism, in the beautiful river."
OUR brethren in Honolulu are encouraged in their Chinese school work by the action of the Chinese themselves in purchasing land and putting up a building. Prof. W. E. Howell recently arrived in California, to remain a short time, when he will return to the islands to further prosecute the work. Brother B. L. Howe, in a private letter to the editor, notes some encouraging features of the house-to-house work. He mentions the death of a native woman, which, it seems, might have been averted by a little knowledge of genuine health principles on the part of the doctor.
THE Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Visitor has this interesting item: "Brethren S. G. Haughey and Wm. Hutchinson recently closed a two weeks' meeting at Keady, Ireland. The people of the place had rented the largest hall there and invited them to come. They took up a collection the last evening of more than $50 and gave it to them, besides paying the rent for the hall, for the shipping of an organ, and had taken them out from the nearest railway station and back again; making an outlay of nearly $75. As there is much prejudice on the part of all denominations, so that anything out of the ordinary line is treated with contempt, it meant something for the leading business men of Keady to rent a hall and invite our workers there. But they saw that God had given them a message, and they desired to know more about it. As the farmers are very busy now, they requested the workers to return in the winter and spend several months with them, and they are planning to do so."

THE SEAL OF GOD AND ITS COUNTERFEIT

The above is the title of a 32-page tract of recent issue which clearly establishes the fact that the great seal by which Jehovah makes known His authority has been counterfeited. More than that, it shows that this counterfeit is quite generally accepted as the genuine, and points out the danger of such acceptance. The tract is illustrated, and costs but $2.00 per hundred.
