NATIONAL MUSEUM AND LIBRARY.

/ also earnestly commend the request
of the Regents OF the Smithsonian insti-
tute that an adequate appropriation be
made for the establishment and conduct
of National Museum under their super.
vision. The questions of providing for
the preservation and growth of the Lii
brary of Congress is also one of national
importance. AS the depository of all
copyright publications and records, this
Library has outgrown the provisions for
its accommodations, and the erection on
such site as the judgment of Congress
may approve, of the fire proof Library
Building, to preserve the treasure and
enlarge the usefulness of this valuable
collection, is recommended.
| recommend also such legislation as
will render available and efficient for the
purpose of instruction, so far as is consis-
tent with the public service, the cabinets
or museums of invention, OF surgery, of
education and of agriculture, and other
collections the property of the National
Government. The Capital of the Nation
should be something more tnan mere
political center. We should avail our
selves of all the opportunities which
Providence has here placed at our COM
mand, to promote the general intelli-
gence of the people, and increase the
conditions most favorable to the success
and perpetuity of our institutions.

A SATLSFA Glory EXAMINA TION.

The most thorough examination which
it was possible to make has recently been
made into the affairs of the New York
Life Insurance Company, and the result
is before our readers. 1t is thoroughly
satisfactory document, prepared not by
party Of interested policy holders, but
by the State Superindent. The result is
such a statement as every good man of
business makes for his own satisfaction
and that of his associates, at least once
year. The simplest mind can grasp it,
and the policy holder may know where
every dollar Of the company is invested,
and just how the company stands today.
In contrast which are vouched for by in
terested parties, and with those which
make a statement so involved that it res
quires business expert to read and coms
prehend them. we commend the result
ofthe examination Of the New York Life
to our readers who are interested in life
insurance. 'ra.

scientions ful6llment Of all engagements
entered into by the Government with the
Indian tribes. To withhold the means
necessary for the performance Of a pro =
mise is always false economy and is apt
to prove disastrous in It's consequences.
Especial care is recommended TO provide
for Indians settled settled on their reserr
vations. cattle and agricultural imple-
ments to aid them in whatever efforts
they may make to support themselves;
and by the establishment and mainten
nance of schools, TO bring them under

noreason why Indians, who can give
satisfactory proof Of having, by their own
labor, supported their families for num~
Der of years, and who are willing to de-
tach themselves from their tribal rela
tons, should not be admitted to the ben
eft of ihe Homestead act and the privi>
leges of citizenship, and recommend
the passage of law to that effect. IT.
would be an act of justice as well as
measure of encouragement. Earnest ef
forts are being made to purify the Indian
service, so that every dollar appropriate
ed by Congress shall rebound to the benN
eft of the Indians as intended, Those
efforts will have my firm support. With
an improved service, and every possible
encouragement held out to the Indians
to better their condition and to elevate
in the scale of civilizatlon,we
may hope to accomplish, at the same
time. a good work for them and for our
selves.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

Having already invited your attention
to the needs of the District of Columbia
with respect to its public school system,
l here add that believe it desirable, not
so much with reference to the local wants
Of the District, but to the great and last
ing benefit of the entire country, that
this system should be crowned with a
university in all respects in keeping with
the National Capital and thereby realize
the cherished hopes of Washington on
this subject.

TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.

The wisdom of legislation upon the
part of Congress in aid of the States for
the education of the whole people in
tLose branches of study which are taught
in the common schools Of the country, is
no longer a question. The Intelligent
Judgment of the country goes still furth-
err regarding it as also both constitutional
and eXpedient for the General Govern
ment to extend to technical and higher
education such aid as is essential to the
general welfare, and to our due promi-
nence among the enlightened and cultur'
ed nations of the world. The ultimate
future, whether of administration or f.
nance or of true nationality or sentiment
depends upon the virtue and intelligence
of the people. 1t is in vain to hope for
the success of a free government without
the means ofinsuring the intelligence of
those who are source of power No less
than one seventh of the entire voting
population of our country are yet unable
to read or write. 1t is encouraging to
observe in connection with the growth of
fraternal feeling in those States in which
slavery formerly existed evidences of in.
Creasing interest in universal education,
and l shall be glad to give my approval
to any appropriate measures which may
be enacted by Congress for the purpose
of supplem nting with national aid, the
local systems of education in those States
and in all the States.

Reducing the Army

Prior to the first day of July last, the
army was, in accordance with law reduc.
ed to the maximum of $4,000 enlisted
men, being a reduction Of $500 below
the force previously authorized. This
reduction was made as required by law
entirely from the infantry and artillery
branches of the service, without any re-
duction Of the cavalry. Under the law,
as it now stands, it is necessary that the
cavalry regiments be recruited to one
hundred men in each company, for SER
vice on the Mexican and Indian frontiers.
The necessary effect of this legislation is
to reduce the infantry and artillery arms
ofthe service below the number required
for efficiency, and | concur with the Sec
retary ofWar in recommending that the
authority be given to recruit all compan.
les of infanIyto at least fifty men, and
all batteries Of artillery to at least seventy

Iwou'd also call the attention of Con

retary of the Interior concerning the
disposition that might be made of the
desert lands, not irrigable, west of the
one hundredth mnrdian. These lands
are practically unsaleable under existing
laws, and the suggestion is worthy of
constellation, that system of leasehold
tenure would make them a source of
profit to the United States, while at the
same time, legalizing the business of cat.

Forest DepredatlOns.

invite tie attention of Congress to
the Importance of the statements and
suggestions made by the Secretary of the
Interior concerning the depredations
committed on the timber lands of the
United States, and the necessity for the
preservation of forests, 1t is believed
that the measures taken in pursuance of
existing law to arrest those depredations
will be entirely successful if Congress, by
an appropriation for that purpose, rem
ders their continued enforcement possiN
bic. The experience of other nations
teaches US that a country cannot be strip
ped of its forests with impunity, and we
shall submit ourselves to the gravest
consequences unless the wasteful and
improvident manner in which the forests
in the United States are destroyed be
efectually remedied, earnestly recomN
mend that the measures suggested by the
Secretary of the Interior, for the sup
preston of depredations upon the public
timber lands of the United States, for the
selling of timber from the public lands
and for the preservation ofthe forests be
embodied in law, and that, consider
ing the urgent necessity of enabling the
people of certain States and Territories
to purchase timber from the public lands
in legal manner, which at present they
cannot do, such law should be pissed
without unavoidable delay.

The Onern Home.

There WAS n fair, but not so full u
house present last night at the opera
house upon the occasion Of the Big
Bonanza" for the benefit of the poor,
by the Selden Irwin troupe AZ the
occasion called for. Mr.. Harry
Rainforth appeared as Professor Ca
waHadcr, a part in which he is simply
inimitable. His makeup was to the
life; his walk that of man Of fifty,
and his acting remarkably natural and
artistic. He is certainly most talent.
ed young actor, and has fortune and
fame before him.
The play was given with marked
spirit, but was marred by the absence
of Miss Barrett, who played Vir9ie
the last time. Mrs. Selden Irwin,
who plays everything nicely, was ex-
cellent as Eugenis. The rest Of the
cast, particularly Mr.. McCormack's
BOB Ruggies, was good.
Manager Elkin deserves well for his
efforts 10 contribute his mite, and it Is
shameful that the response was 30
small and beggarly.
