This is one Of his "curb,stonc1 speeches,

And appeal TO your sense OF justice ana

A STRANGE PHENOMENON.

"A Oh 1hhNO1
An event has recently occurred that
will rather startle the chronic office
holders and salary-grabbers of the
United States. 1t is peculiarly OF the
aforementioned class that few ever die
and none resign, but such thing as
man asking for reduction of his own
salary is an event without precedent, Ii
there was any danger of the example be-
coming contagious it would be in the IN
terest of the salaried squadrons OF Uncle
Sam that the facts in this isolated case
be suppressed.
A letter has been received at the office
of the Secretary of the Interior at Wash

Sacs and Foxes, Indian Territory, dated
July 10Th, which conveys the following
novel intelligence The Agency black
smith, Henry Jones, has called upon Mr..
AGENT Hertford and asked that his salary
of 800 a year may be reduced to $500;
and blacksmith Jones goes on to state
several circumstances in mitigation OF
this unofiice-like conduct. He says that
nine years ago he was poor blanket In
dian, and spent most of his time in the
primitive sports of his people, which
consisted probably in getting drunk
whipping squaws, and stealing mules anc
rations from the Government, white EN-
igrants and settlers. He was, in fact
that gep of human origin known as al
Indian loafer, fed and clothed from thu
treaty contributions of the United States
But beginning to feel about that tint
that there was something in him tina
would enable him to emulate the whit
man in industry and good habits, HI

and being encouraged thereto by the lib

can bear to have his official salary a

lars.
1t may be presumed in Mr.. Jones' fl
vor that had he been white man h
would not have been guilty OF thj
