Lo! the Poor Indian.
Educate the Indian; teach him to work, so he can take care of himself. That is a song we have heard chanted many times over. It is being chanted now more sweetly and numerously than ever. But here is one question which the sweet singers ought to answer: What is to become of the Indian after he is educated?
Can the Indian lawyer go back among the savage Sioux and make a living where there are no courts and no laws? Can the carpenter go back among his own people and build houses where all the inhabitants live in tents? Can the refined, accomplished Indian girl return to her tribe to be the slave of a brave who regards her as a little lower than his dog, to be kicked and cuffed accordingly? White people have no use for the educated Indian as a citizen living among them, mind you. They prefer doctors and mechanics of their own race every time. Answer, sentimental philanthropists, then this question: What shall we do with the Indian after we have educated him? And read meantime what a Brule chief, High Hawk, says:
As my father has gone before me, so has there a people gone before my people. As that people went ahead of mine, so my father went before me, as my sons follow me. So your people follow me. My race can now be counted. Yours is without me. As the remnant of those going before mine stood, so the great chiefs of my father asking, not mercy, but advice, so do I today stand before my great friend and soldier. Gen. Miles, asking for the remnant of my race that consideration the father shows the same that the remnant of your great race will today ask of the great soldiers and great chiefs to be to follow. This is the law. Some call it that. Spite some God; but by any name it is the same. It a force that we can see but cannot understand, and from which there is no appeal.
Co-operative Cookery.
One regrets to observe that the Chicago Co-operative Cooking company has gone to pieces, after an experience of only three months. It ought to have succeeded, and the conclusion is hard to escape that it might have succeeded. At any rate, co-operative cooking will certainly be established some day.
Suppose a wise and liberal minded person should begin in a small way to furnish cooked food to families—just a plain, every day dinner at first. No fancy dishes or very expensive luxuries should be attempted in the beginning.
First there should be a list of persons who will take cooked food regularly, to begin perhaps only dinner in the evening, at rates which should be no greater than the cost of the dinner if cooked at home. The caterer could go his rounds early in the morning and get her menu for the day's dinner from each housewife. The patrons should be secured near together, and promptly at the hour the wagon should deliver the dinner.
smoking hot and cooked in the choicest. daintiest manner known to civilized cooks.
The company that could do this would secure all the custom it desired, as soon as the fact became known that it served really dancy, appetizing food at moderate rates promptly and faithfully. There is not one town or city household in five that would joyfully escape from the tyranny of cooking food at home if it could. But to be successful the company must furnish the food as cheaply as it can be prepared at home. When we are fully civilized all the cooking and laundry work will be done away from the house, and home will be home, not a mere shop where housework is carried on, and in too many cases very badly and stormily carried on at that.
Death in Cabinet Families.
A sorrowful fate, sometimes rising to the tragic, seems to have followed presidential cabinets and their families for many years. This has been true more or less ever since the awful tragedy which ended the lives of President Lincoln and his secretary of state, Mr. Seward. There has scarcely been a time in recent years when some cabinet officer was not heavily stricken in one way or another.
During Cleveland's administration Mr. Bayard lost his wife and daughter. A year ago Secretary Tracy's wife and daughter met their tragic fate in the flames. Secretary Blaine's son and daughter died the same winter. Even the president's own family has not been spared during this administration, since Mrs. Harrison's favorite sister died soon after they took up their residence in the White House. But the awfully sudden going out of life of Secretary Windom immediately after concluding a most eloquent speech at a banquet is the strangest, saddest death of all.
