up which has never seen more than her
and there a stray coin. They delight il
its ringing music, and long to hear
jinRling In their pockets and as it fall
upon the counters in trade. They hav
had no fault to hnd with the Rreenbacl
and fractional currency, 80 long as i,
use seemed a necessity; but now tbs
silver is 10 cheap and 30 plentiful IN SUI
ply, they want to see it restored to cir

Jones says that when he was at Free
Wash some cattle came in there with a
| rows sticking in them. There IL n
doubt but that the Indians are inprlle
by hunger TO these acts, and it is q di
grace to the Government that sue
should Do the case. Toe Efficient SUI
port the Wallapais gave General Gro,
during the Apache war saved to the Go
eminent large sums OF money and Ii
lives OF many men. and now the very II
dams who fought with the troops to sui
due the Apaches are left to shi
for themselves. II is, to say tn
least. a strange policy that feeds an
gives presents to Indians on the wal
path, and makes no proper provision 70
those who have shown themselves will
ling and eager to assist in maintaining
peace. If the Wallapsis were on the war
path they would have plenty Of Howard'
and Colysrs u give them encouragement
and sympathy, but SO long as they ar,
peaceable their appeals for help will no
be listened to. and they will go hungr,
until their "iriends see q chance t
| make money out OF them.
