The above amount for public buildings is in
the line of economy in various WAYS: First the
buildings are needed, and II completed would save
TO the Government an amount in rent greater than
the interest their COST second that thew can be
built very much cheaper now than ever before and
much cheaper than hereafter when business shall
have revived third il being in the line of economy
10 finish them now, another powerful motive IS
added in the employment it would give to labor The
items for life-saving service and "light-houses
&C., are for the encouragement and protection of
commerce and for safety to life and property The
items for navy-yards arsenalsn &c. is rendered
necessary by the dilapidated condition of this kind
OF public property by of the failure to make
the necessary appropriations to take care of it during
the last two years. The S250000 for "indemnifying
the States " was simply in compliance with law
which requires these claims to be paid when audited
DEFICIENCIES CAUSED BY UxwARRANTEp REDUc-
TIoNs.
The large amount of over 81 100000 for "defcien-
cies was necessary because the House has been
compelled to pass so many deficiency bills ON ac-
count OF former unwarranted reductions that they
were unwilling to make these, and so throw the re-
sponsibility on the Senate About $1,000 900 of
these deficiencies were for the Post Office Depart
ment and the Department of Justice. The courts in
some states had already been compelled to adjourn
Tor want of funds, and the execution of Justice
would have been substantially suspended if the Sem
ate had not insisted upon the approximation Seve-
raj branches of the postal service would also have
peen seriously crippled, or actually suspended with
out them. These facts were all understood bv tba
House committee, but because tho necessary defcien
cies would have swelled their bills to an amount
larger than was agreeable seemed expedient thew
declined to insert them, leaving them to be put in
by the Senate, for which the Senate was to he
charged with extravaganza. The otheritem S., 500
ooo, for payment of the Halifax award" Was neces-
sary to maintain the national honor. Had the SEN
ate not inserted it as an amendment extra session
would have been avoldable The balance of the
amount (S450,556) added for "sundry small items, .
IS made up of many items such as expenses of for

The LUMMI INDIAN, TO TIL: FRONT.
We take pleasure in noting the fact
that the Indians of Iummi Rcscrya-
ton have taken such an important
step in the march of civilization rs to
establish Il school at their own eN-
pcnsc and under their own immediate
management. 1t was opened last
February and has now in attendance
about twenty-five children. The tribe
lcvics an assessment for the support
of the school, which, by the way, Is
taught by some of their own children
who have been educated at the agency
school Mt Tulalip. Every single man
of the tribe is assessed % cents. and
head of family one dollar per
month, for the support OF the school,
and we are informed by one of their
own people that the system gives per-
feet satisfaction and is Il source Of
great pride to those interested. This
reservation is situated between the
forks of the \ooksack River, within
seven miles of Whatcom, and EN-
braces over ten thousand acres of the
best land on Puget Sound or West
crn Washington. The land is sur
vcvcd into 40-acre lots, but only the
choice pieces are settled upon by the
inhabitants. some of whom are rather
industrious and own large number
of cattle and horses. They also cul-
tivate to some extent. but not as
much so as the favorable conditions
Of soil and transportation facilities
would naturally warrant. Altogcther,
however, this tribe will compare ia
vorably, in point Of industry and law
abiding practices, with those on the
Sound who have received direct aid
and instruction from the Indian Bu-
reau. The Lummi people have been
left pretty much to paddle their
own canoe" and rs such deserve
credit for their good bchayior.-hA

The Northern Pacific Railroad.

From the Chicago Trihunc, March 3Ath.I
The officials OF the Northern Pa
ciiic Railroad are confident that the
bill for the extension of time for the
building of the line will shortly pass
both Houses of Congress. In this
event the company will proceed to
extend the road westward from Bis
marcl some twenty-five miles to the
Dakota coal-ields. The passenger
and freight business of the road is re-
ported to be rapidly increasing.
Monday an express train from st.
Paul to Bismarck was put on the
road for the benefit Of the Black
Hills trade, and the time between
Deadwood and Chicago has been re-
duced to eighty hours. The great
wheat farmers along the line are busy
engaged in plowing and seeding.
Dalrympie, one of t.ie haronial wheat
growers, has already plowed up some
$4,000 acres.

Il is hardly worth while to discuss
the Immediate effect Of the rcmone-
tization of silver, as some optimi,t
writes ON finance are already doing.
The point for the consideration of in
vestors is not the actual or probable
price of silver. but the fact that the
American peopl, have now formally
claimed the right to vary their public
and private contracts. For, what
ever may be the strict law OF the
case. it is notorious that the govern
ment bonds of the United States were
sold in this and other European mar
ketS ON the faithof an understanding,
in some instances expressed IN the
bankers prospectus at the time of
issue, that they would be paid, prin-
cipai and interest, in gold. The
Americans have chosen to set aside
this understanding. We do not say
that they have ruined their credit by
so doing, but they certainly have
placed themselves outside the cate
CORY of borrowers TO whom prudent
men would feel disposed to lend
money at per cent

Gen, Shields on the Praua.

Gen. James Shields, the man whom
the republicans protested such deep
interest in, condemning the democratic
House so bitterly for not appointing him
door-keeper upon Ben Buffers motion,
is not affected by their profuse protesta-
tions of dsinterested soicitude for his
welfare. In a speech delivered at In
dianapolis, Ind. a few days since the
General pours the following broadside at
the fraud party:
1T has taken centuries to raise such a
debt In foreigu countries. After this
debt was made, instead of retrepchment
and economy, the republicans started ont
upon race Of thieviDg and rascalitv.
which produced the well known thieves
and rOgues OF Grants administration. and
made the cry of reform arouse the masses
east aud west, north and south, SO that in
1876 they were hurled from power, and a
democratic president and vice-president
were elected, but were swindled out of the
Offices. This was but another example of
republican teaching of the last fifteen or
sixteen years"
