We are informed that certain pay-
lies in the east, and among them
newspaper men, who ought TO know
better, claim that the Navajo Indian
blanket, for the manufacture Of which
the Navajo Indians of this Territory
have become famous, is a myth, and
that ibc blankets are not made by the
Indians at all, but arc manufactured
in the east. Possibly there 4nay be
people cropping around in the fogs
and miasmas Of the Egyptian east
who are stupid enough to believe, or
try to make others believe that their
modern theory concerning these
blankets are true Now the manu-.
facture Of these blankets is an indus,
Try peculiarly New Mexican, and one
which we do not intend shall be sto-
len from us; therefore we rise in our
might to crush out the awful liars OF
the east, and viii proceed to tell them
how aud where the Navajo blanket is
made
The Navajo Blanket is solely the
production of the Navajo Indians of.
This Territory. They are not only
made by them, but from weol from
their own sheep, t which they own
immense herds. The method en-
ployed hy them in the Manufacture
Of their blankets is extremely simple
and crude, and one would hardly
suppose that the beautiful fabrics
could be produced from so primative
a machine. The loom upon which
they are woven consists of two poles.
or stakes, driven into the ground a
little further apart than the article 10
be made requires-in order to give
plenty Of room for work ing-then a
small pole is fastened at the top and
another one at the bottom and the
loom is ready. The warp or body
Of the blanket is then placed in posi-
ton by fastening the woolen threads
on the top and bottom poles. The
cross threads are then simply inter
woven between the upright threads
stretched on the poles, pounded down
tightly with stick, and the blanket
is made These blankets viii hold
water equally as well, if not better
than the heaviest kind Of ducking-
The Navajos make these blankets Of
all colors, shapes and sizes, and some
OF them have been sold at fabulous
figures. y blanket made by Manu-

chusetts, Rhode Island. New jersey, Nevada,
Colorado, Oregon, and Delaware have no sol.
diers in the house of representatives, nor IN TACT
in Congress at all, except Rhode Island, which
persists in keeping Burnside In the senate.
Mr.. Burnside. One OF the members
in the house from Rhode Island
was in the army.
Mr.. Voorhees,. All right. This
writer continues:
1t will be noticed that all but two Of those are
republican, solidly so, and in thom the soldier
is pushed aside for the lawyer and the banker:
have a greater number of lawyers and bankers
in Congress in proportion to representation than
any other state.
Now 1 desire at this point to say a
word for the comfort of my friend
from Rhode Island. Of all the New
England states the little state OF
Rhode Island is the only one that does
herself the honor to send a soldier to
this body. l am glad to see him
here !; he adorns the position he &C.
cupies. 1t is refreshing in view of
the conduct of republican legislatures
in New England that Rhode Island
does send a soldier here. | lave q
kind feeling for Rhode Island
for two reasons: She sheltered
Roger Williams who fled from the
barbarism of bigotry in Massachu-
sets. Under his inspiration she es-
tabiished religious liberty, and MAIN
tanned it ~afterward. This a only be
said of the early history of two other
states-Catholic Maryland and Qua
ker Pennsylvania. Roger Williams
established the Baptist church and
free worship for all Rhode Island. This
is IL reason for liking that state.
The other IS that she has sent my
friend to the senate, a conspicuous
illustration of the general intidelity
of the republican party in New Emg-
land toward the union soldier, for
none Ia from any other state.
Mr.. President, [ have detained the
senate much longer than l desired to
do /; but | did not Intend, if could
help it, that this session should ter
inmate until the country had placed
before it, in my poor humble way
though it be. the actual facts in re-
gard to the treatment of the soldiers
of both the federal and confederate
armies by the republican party. You
have appointed fewer number of fed
eral soldiers to Office than the demo-
cratic party when it had the power.
There are more federal civil officers
to-day from the confederate army
than there are senator's on this floor
who served in that army, and they
were appointed by republican admin
istrations and confirmed by republic
can senator's.
