approaches much more nearly TO Vulgate OF Cath-

confession that the King James Bible was fright

Ex-Secretary Schurz opens The North american Re

as permanent reservations is. apart from all ques-
tions of abstract justice grand practical mistake
Rightly or wrongly, the Indians sure to be dis
turbetin these hunting grounds as settlements all

un,ienable facts. Mr.. SchuIz states the following
points in rceapitulation:
