THE INDIAN COMMISSIONS.


Mr.. Faulkner has completed and closed his
connection with the Commission appointed to
investigate the administration of Indian AZ
fairs in the West The report was finished
on the 18th, and the following brief synopsis
of it has been published in the Baltimore
Sun /:
New YoRK, Oct 17.-This commission
has been is session for several days at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. in the city of New York,
preparing q report upon the voluminous evil
dence taken before it. Il was supposed at
one time that there Was much diversity of
opinion among the members, and that
there would be two reports, one signed
by all the members except Mr.. Faulkner,
and separate report prepared by him
IL now appears, however, that this is not the
case, as much, If not the greater part Of the
report adopted by tho commission is known
to have been written by Mr.. Faulkner In
this report the late Secretary Of the Interior
aud the commissioner of Indian affairs are ac-
quilted of any fraudulent completely in the
Irregularities and abuses of the Indian bu-
reau but the administration Of that depart
ment in many of its acts is severely criticised
and condemned, and its errors sharply pointed
out. It condemns the conduct of DR.. Saville.
the agent of the Red Cloud agency and re-
commcnds his immediate removal from Office.
II favors the abolition of the Offices Of su-
,perintendent of Indian aft .irs in the West, as
officers whose substantial duties are discharged
by the inspectors, and which are now filled
by men receiving large salaries, performing
very little service. 1t deals roughly with the
contractors in the West. who form there what
is called the Indian Ring" and recommends
that they be awarded no further contracts, aud
be dismissed from the confidence Of the gov
erument. 1t refers some Of their transactions
to the Department of Justice for prompt le>
gal prosecution. Professor Marsh is treated
with great courtesy and respect throughout
the report, aud sustained in many of his

agencies, insnriHg greater fairness in the con-
tracts for transportation and supplies. curtail.

safeguards against future frauds 1t contains
important suggestions as to the future policy
OF the government in regard to the Indian
population, recommends territorial governs

sovereignty. the extension of the criminal
laws of the United States over Indian reser>
vations, the eInctinn of individual RESPONSE

cognition of the rights of individual property
in their lands with some temporary restriction
upon their power of alienation. The report
is long, reviews in detail the evidence upon
aome of the controeerted facts, and is marked
throughout with great ability.

,Des Aoines Correspondence Of tie Chicago
Tribune.
A remarkable incident occurred near
Yiroqua. . few days ago, in family
whose name my informant could not
give. There were three little children,
the oldest being FIVE years, two Of
whom went to the barn to find hens
nests. They found one and crawled
to it, and one ofthem thrust his han d
forward to get the eggs, when he
quickly withdrew it, saying the old
hen had bitten him. The other said
he wasn't afraid and thrust his hand
forward, when he too was bitten.
Both then screamed, which quickly
brought their mother to the spot,
when it was discovered that they had
been struck by q rattlesnake coiled
in the nest: The mother seized the
little boys in her arms and fastened
to the house, where's new horror met
her gaze. In her haste to secure the
boys at the barn she had set down a
boiler of hot water, into which the
child had fallen. In thirty minutes
all her children were dead.

During the present year the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has pur-
chased and laid down, on it's various
divisions, over %, 900 tons Of steel
rails. The main.track between Pitts.
burg and Philadelphia, is now laid
entirely with steel, and the New York
division will have no iron rails by
next April. The company first com.
menced laying these rails in 1860,
and every years experience demon
strates their economy. The immense
traffic which now comes over this
road makes the life of an iron.rail a
short one, and in certain localities it
would be worthless in less than <
months. The 10000 tons of steel
rails purchased will lay POI miles Of
single track, and it is the intention to
renew all the main track with steel.
The sidings will be of iron. The first
cost Of steel, as compared with iron,
is now about so per cent greater.

NO issue of paper money however
large, can raise the price of farmers
products a farthing. The paper cur
rency Of. the country in 1850 was
$207 100000, in 1876 over $700, 000,-
600. The prices of farm products
are about the same. But ofall other
commodities the general prices in
crease with the quantity of currency,
as every farmer finds whatever he
buys. The rag-money inAationists
therefore ask the 100000 farmers
Of the United States to pay more for
all they buy while getting no more
for all they sell. This is the Ohio

perity by bankrupting half the actu-
al laborers, half the real wealth-pro-
