An Explanation.

1OmFOhOs mug uoe 6t sAA'
 Mir. EDITOR Since there are many ru- nors concerning the mode of the pur- chase ofour new organ in the New Pres ton Village Church, I wish to set rumors aside with the facts. From one source l heard that the value of the organ was $600 and that it was obtained for $3OO, etc.1@s
 The facts are: The A. B. Chase Organ Co.,, of Norwalk, Huron Co.,, Ohio, estab- lished two years, wishing to introduce their instruments East, desired me to ex- anime them. I spent large part ot two days Tn examination, studying the lnterl- or mechanism and trying the quality of tone. I decided that none of the we'll known Organ Companies produced in- struments superior, or even equal to the A. B Chase Organ, and that I never had seen an instrument that could be SO easily controlled for various delicate shades of expression Convinced of this my con viction was reinforced by the coinciding judgment of Prof. Churchill, former di- rector of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and now Professor of Mathe- matics in Oberlin College. Ono. -o,,..
 selected an organ for our church which the company listed at $3O0. It was in a fine case and asked how much the same interior would cost in their p1ainest case. They replied, $25o. Then I asked what discount they would give, and they would sell it to introduce East at 50 per cent reduction. i. e., S125. .....- ..-.-'-'
 Our church took, the offer and now, in- stead of an out of date melodeon. we have an organ of q pure. rich, mellow tone, delightful to listen to- Since the concert (mentioned in. another column), several have spoken to me, one lady in particular saying that, the organ harmo- nized with the voices so perfectly that she often looked to see if it really was in op- erat1on. so perfectly did it perform it's office of accompanying and, not obscuring the voices. I had given some additional orders to the company respecting the number of sets of reeds. octayes, &c., and they said they would charge nothing ex-- tra. There are three sets of reeds and an octave and quarter of sub base. To my surprise. when the organ arrived, the company had given two more stops than I ordered-the "Echo horn" and ''Vio- Ina," which together make the most deli cate pianissimo conceivable.

GOOD NEWS 2

It is with mingled feelings that we read the statement of the officers of the Indian bureau that the Indian population of the country is actually increasing, at the rate of seven per cent every ten years.
 It was grievous shock to the conserva- tive mind to learn from the census of 70 that the negro was also ou the gain. Are we tesiHfer that all stheolds talk of tGsnpesi- or" races driving out ''inferior" is silly blunder ? Are we to hear. next, that the Irish are to supplant the Yankees, and the Chinese the Irish, as poor currency al- ways duyes good one out of circulation?
 The Courant, commenting on this piece of news. explains why Canada can always remain at peace with its Indians while we are prepetualIy fighting ours: T d In the former fCanada] it was we'll under stood by the Indians that their interests and those of the. Hudson Bay company were identical and were alike helped by discouraging immigration and settlement and protecting the wild animals for hunt ing. But in the western United States it IS utterly impossible 10 keep promises which require that the hunting regions of the Indian shall be preserved and his mo- madic life rperpe etuated. The Indian sees this. The white man has long known it but has not acted accordingly. aud q,
 In short our Indians see plainly that they must so far conform to the require ments of Amercian progress as to turn from hunters into farmers-a thing that displeases them immensely. sWhat we should like to know is whether the in- crease reported, is among the savage or the civilized Indians? If it ia the savage who is thus gaining on us. there is pro- bably no remedy short of repeal of the liquor tax. Soldiers and longer range guns kill few Indians. but cheap whiskey is vastly more effective. ... ...,--
