Managing the Indians.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August 49,
From inquiries made to day in Off
cials quaters, enough information is
ascertained to state that the Presi-
dent has under consideration the
adoption ola somewhat new plan for
the better government of the Indians
though to say exactly what that
plan will be is impossible. Very
likely some features in the Canadian
government Of the Indians will be
incorporated in the new plan, but
that the whole plan will be adopted
is improbable. The differences in
the management Of Indians by the
two governments are very consider
able. The main points may be
summed up as follows The Cana
dian Indians are not confined to a
reservation, but are allowed to move
about of their free will. They are
not fed by the government but sup
port themselves principally by hunt
ing; an annual stipend, some supplies
being, however, distributed to them
by Indian agents, of which there are
thirty. They are brought to trial
for OflenSes committed upon one
another or upon whites, and white
man is liable to punishment for any
offense against them. TO carry out
the above there is system of magis-
tracy trying all offenders brought
them by the mounted police, Il body
of three hundred, who ride through
the country preserving law and
order and making arrests. Ammun-
milton and arms are sold to the In
dians by the agents. These rules are
almost Numerically opposite to
those of our government and work
exceedingly well, the Dominion hav-
ing no Indian troubles to speak of.
There are many reasons, however.
why these Indians should be more
easily managed then ours. One is
that there is plenty of game in the
vast country over which they roam
and hunters are not allowed 10 ruth
lessIy slaughter it. The Indians can,
therefore always support themselves.
Another reason is that their country
is not entered by emigrants, and the
fights which generally ensue when
these two elements come in contract
are avoided. The above, though in
complete, clearly shows the deficien-
cy between the management of the
Indians by us,and them. AS before
stated the President has under con-
sideration a change of policy, and
looks favOrablv upon the Canadian
plan. The statement that the out
posts will be placed under officers Of
the army, seems to be well founded
and the police and magistracy
features will very likely be adopted.
1t is not probable that the Indian
agencies will be abolished altogether
but they will. of course, be reduced
in number, and if possible rendered
more efficient The whole subject
will be submitted to Congress in the
early part ofthe coming session, in
order, If possible, to have the new
policy affirmed and put in operation
before the cold weather sets in.

Our Charitable Institutions.

The Baltimore Bee of Monday last
prints lengthy extracts from the re-
port of DIR. c. w. Chancellor, secre-
tary of the Maryland board ofheath,
who was directed by Governor Car
roll to inspect "all almshouses, pris-
ons, reformatories and public institu-
tons in the State, particularly with
reference to their sanitary condition,
the treatment of the inmates and the
number Of pduper insane who are
confined therein at the public eX-
pense." OF the condition of the
Almshouse and Jail of Allegany
county, the following is said:
The almshouse consists of two
buildings, one for whites, the other
for colored people. The superintend-
ent occupies one end of the buildir z
used by the white inmates. The in.
terror of both presented a very dirty
appearance, and evidences ofgreat
neglect were everywhere apparent.
The floors were filthy and seemed
not to have been scrubbed for some
time: the walls needed scraping and
withdrawing badly and the bedding
especially that of the sick, was I'M
clean, and so scanty rs scarcely to
protect the PATIENTS body from the
iron stats beneath. There was an
en- lire lack of attention to the com.
monest comforts. r. n
The sane and insane We're indis-
criminately associated without prop
er means of separating the sexes,
Most Of the insane were harmless.
one colored girl, an epileptic, OF
feeble mind, had three children with
her, two Of whom had been born in
the almshouse: the youngest, an in.
FAINT of six months, was undoubtedly
the child Of a white man. ......
The air of the prison is more i'm.
pure than many built years ago with.
out regard to sanitary laws. "Each
cell contains water-closet, which
may be an excellent arrangement fol
the comfort of the prisoner, but in t
sanitary point of view must prove /
I nuisance that will ultimately have t
] be removed"

Corporation Scales.

The Corporation authorities have
procured Il Fairbanks coal and hay
scales of a capacity of four tons, to
cost 5000, which are being erected on
Liberty street, ia front of TIE RE
PUBLICAN Office. The company send
mechanic tosupeEintend putting up
the scales, without additional cost.
Cattle guards will be attached for
the weighing of live stock. The
Council have not fixed the charges,
but we presume they will be about 10
cents a draught. An ordinance will
be passed compelling persons selling
coal or hay to have the same weighed.
This is an improvement long needed
in our town, and if the consumer does
lave to pay the charges he will have
die satisfaction of knowing that he
gets full weight.

A foot race, that caused some ex-
element and considerable amuse-
ment, took place ia Oakland on Sat
curday evening last, between Thomas
Martin and John b. Brant. BY the
conditions Of the race Martin was
placed at Wayman's crossing and
Brant at the railroad crossing in front
of Coddington's Hotel, and they We're
to run to the culvert at the Stone
Church and back to the railroad
crossing. At the word go" Brant
made much quicker start than his
opponent, and in turning at the Gull
vert gained little, and came home
about ten feet ahead. The distance
for Brant was about 800 yards, and
fer Martin about $50 yards.

oflife is its uncertainty (; tie conflict
between the life and death principle

with victory for death; yet every

as far removed as possible, and when
threatened with disease employs
such aids and measures for its remov-

soHENoK,s SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during
the summer months, the legarthy produced by
the heat takes away the desire for wholesome
food, and frequent Preparations reduce bodily
energy, particularly those suffering from the
effects Of debi itating diseases. In order to
keep q natural healthful activity OF the system
we must resort to artificial means. For this
purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very
efIectual. few doses will create an appetite
and give fresh viger TO the enervated body.
For dyspepsia, it is Invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
sea Weed Tonic In its nature is totally differ
ent from such drugs. It contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; In fact 1t assists the regular
operations OF nature, and supplies her deflci-
ence5. The tonic in It's 30 much resembles the
gastric Juice that IL is almost Identical with
That 1uid. The gastric juice is the natural SOL
vent which, in healthy condition OF the body,
causes the food to be dlgested; and when this
Juice is not excreted In suflicient quantities,
Indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms,
follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the
duty OF the gastric Juice when the latter is de-
