IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
BLACK HILLS COMMISsIoNERS.-The Conn
m1ssloneIs TO treat with the Indians for the
purchase OF the Black Hills have made their
report in which they state that conspicuous
among the reasons for the failure of the
negotiations was the interference of persons
not Indians. who are interested in having
large annual money payment made 10
Indians, sfiOrding a permanent fund, of
winch the Indians may be despOil ID. The
commission recommends that Congress shall
take the initiative, and ms tead of attempting
TO negotiate shall, by law. provide for the
separation of all Sioux Indians between the
ages of six and sixteen years from the adult
thorough education of minors at some psint
or points where they will be free from the
cont troll and Influence OF adult Indians. This
system OF education is to include manual
lahOr and Industrial schools and to be COM
puisory. Having thus provided for the fu-
TUE civilization OF the minor population,
Congress shall, by law, require that the
adult Indians shall perform labor as the
CONDITION OF subsistence, and after date. in
the future, subsistence shall be issued only
10 such as shall labor, and To the aged and
lnnrm A fUrther recommendation is that
every Indian be encouraged in the acquisi-
ton and protected in the possession of pri-
vate property. The Indians now occupying
the northwestern part OF Nebraska are To be
removed To the reservation established by
The treaty OF 1868, and supplies shall here
after be furnished under the supervision of
The officers of the army; that all present
agencies should be abolished, aud the whole
system be reOTganiZed SO far as relates to
the Sioux Indians, and that such cOmpensa-
ton TO the officers and agents be provided as

THE Indians should be notified that such
force as may be necessary will be used To en-
force compliance with the policy of the gov

which is 3O,O0O,OOO. In return for

paid to the various companies about

the people of the South do not pro-

pose to break up the business of the

glad to hear that a sleeping car com

two cars OF the company, which do
not violate tie Pullman patent, will
be on the track as early as the present
week. Offices will be established all
through the South as fast as cars can
be built. There will be no difficulty
in this company supplying the white
people of the South with sleeping &C

Pullman Company have but few ex-
elusive contracts, and have violated
