1. The Week.

Subjects
POLITICAL development, POLITICAL campaigns, LABOR unions, POLITICAL parties, POLITICAL conventions
Abstract

The article comments on various social and political developments from across the world, in particular the U.S. The activity of the trades unions is one of the noticeable features of the present political campaign, and one may add that it is a healthful feature. Keen personal interest in the political movements of the State and nation is a sign of vigorous political life. The growth of independence in the Democratic party is strikingly illustrated by the action of the Young Men's Democratic Club in Brooklyn, New York. This club is an organization of progressive young men, who have consistently thrown their influence in favor of the best movements in their party, and who did good work in securing the election of Cleveland delegates from Brooklyn to the Presidential convention last year.

Abstract

The article presents a reflection on the experience of Indians from the United States during the American Revolution (1775-1783) and their struggle to establish their own model of independence, significantly different from the model of English colonists. Particular focus is given to the Iroquois Indians from New York, the Shawnees and the Delawares from the Ohio valley, and the Cherokees from the South. The author puts the emphasis on the way that colonists took advantage of the participation of Indians during the revolution, only to exclude them from the new nation once the independence was proclaimed.
