He Considers the Indian Management
Thoroughly Bad.

New York, May Is. The Post publishes the
following:
my attention has Just been called to a Wash
ington despatch on Indian affairs, published the
I'D. This espatch does great injustice to my
self, especially in The following statement:
Professor Marsh has been constantly at the
Interior department since his arrival here and had
several interviews with Assistant Secretary Cow
an and Indian Commissioner Smith. He ex-
pressed great sorrow at having unwittingly caused
criticism of the Indian management, which he
considers generally good. He has acknowledged
TO the Commissioner, that he did not see the sup
plies complained of, in bulk but based his com
plants on samples shown by Red Cloud
Now it would be difficult to condense greater
number of misstatements in the same space than
this paragraph contains. When it was written
had been at the Interior department only twice,
and then mainly to correct misapprehen sions SIM
lar to the above. / had expressed no sorrow
whatever at having caused the criticism of the
Indian management, but only regret that had
not dene so years before. do not consider the
Indian management generally good, but, as q
whole, thoroughly bad.
l did not acknowledge to the commissioner that
based my complaints merely on the samples
shown me, but have abundance of other evil
dence of fraud practicea on Red Cloud and his
tribe, that stand ready to give before any prop
er tribunal. do not consider your correspondent
at ill responsible for the in the despatch, as
he only repeated one of many items sent out by
the Indian ring to weaken the force of the facts
laid before the President and Board of Indian
Commissioners.

A Brain-Destroytng Malady.

That insomnia, or inability to sleep, has become
very prevalent of late years, is sufficiently evil

continually cropping up. But no medicinal agent

we consider that such drugs act only on the brain
which is not the source OF the evil. while the Bit

originate il. lt is admitted by physicians that dys-
