Suggestions Of Secretary Kirkwooa.

The annual report Of the Secretary of the
Interior il largely devoted to the fresh dis
cussion Of the Indian question. He strong.
ly recommends that ''a liberal provision be
made by Congress for teaching the Indian
youth our language; that, upon just terms
to the Indians, the number and area Of the
existing reservations be greatly reduced !;
that on such reservations IS are not well
adapted to farming without irrigation, eff
forts be made to teach Indians to become
herdsmen instead Of endeavoring to try to
make them farmers: that Indian titles to
reduced reservations be indIvidualized aud
thoroughly protected by law; and that
the more civilized reservation Indians
be encouraged to abandon their
tribal relations by setting up experimental
forms of local government among them, as
nearly alike as may be to the system Of
county government prevailing in the States
or Territories il which the reservations are
respectively located. There are now
in the States and Territories west Of the
Mississippi River 102 reservations, great
and small, on which are located, in round
numbers, 224 200 Indians. II all the In.
dams west Of the Mississippi were gathered
up on four or five reservations our Indian
affairs could be managed with greater
economy to the Government and greater
benefit to the Indians. / recommend that
Congress be asked to create commission Of
three or four eminent citizens to visit, dur.
ing next year, the reservations west Of the
Mississippi River for the purpose of recon-
mending to Congress, if they shall deem it
wise, the concentration of the Indians on
four or five reservations, to be selected in
different parts Of the West. on which the
different tribes shall be located; and if this
shall, in the judgment Of the Commission,
not be wise. then to recommend the concen.
tration Of the existing small agencies where
that can be properly done, and reduction
of the area of others to dimensions proper
tionable to the number of Indians located
thereon ,,

Report Of Indian Commissioner Price.

The annual report Of the Commissioner Of
rior is made public. Commissioner Price,
at the outset, desires to " urge with earnest
ness the absolute necessity for . thorough
and radical change Of the Indian policy in
some respects and particulars. 1t must be
apparent to the most casual observer that
the system Of gathering Indians in bands
or tribes on reservations and carrying
them victuals and clothes, thus reliev-
ing them Of the necessity Of labor,
never will and never can civilize them. II
white men were treated as we treat the
Indians the result would certainly be race
Of worthless vagabonds. wish to call at
tention to the fact that, in almost every
case, it is only the non-laboring tribes that
60 upon the warpath, and the stubborn
facts Of history compel me to say the Gov
eminent is largely to blame for this.
We feed the White River murderers
and compel the peaceable Uintahs to
largely care for themselves. This course
induces the Indian to believe that II
they are to get favors from the Government
they must refuse to work, refuse to be or
derly and peaceable, and must commit some
depreciation or murder. and that commits
sion will be appointed to treat with them
and pay them in goods, provisions and
money to behave Themselves"
The Commissioner recommends the pro-
hibition Of the introduction Of liquor
on the Indian reserves by authority of the
War Department incidentally he suggests,
as more effectual remedy for the evil Of
drunkenness. that Congress be asked to
prohibit the manufacture or sale of ardent
spirits in any Of the Territories Of the
United States. Among other things lawn
should be enacted to extend to Indian res
ervations the criminal laws Of the States and
Territories in which they are respectively
situated.

Killed Under Peculiar Circumstances.

Ellen Kessler, the daughter of well-to- do
parents residing near Blue Island, who was
attending Normal School at Englewood,
came to her death last night under peculiar
circumstances, but whether the case is one
of accident or suicide cannot now be deter
mined and may always remain mystery.
The young woman was just past twenty
years of age, and for some time had been
numbered among the scholars of the above
institution. She lived in a building adjoin-
ing the school building, known as the dor
mitOry. where are also many of her fellow
scboolmates, only going home at intervals.
Last evening about nine o'clock she made a
call upon friend who lives short distance
from the school, and here it was noticed for
the first time that she had acted queerly,
not seeming to be quite herself. Later, she
returned to the dormitory, where she met
Mrs. Wentworth and explained that she
was not feeling well. Mrs. Wentworth ad-
vised her to 60 to bed, and said she would
get her some medicine. The young woman
went to her room, but when Mrs. Went
worth followed her she had disappeared. 1t
was then learned from one of the young men
that he had seen Miss Kessler going out of
the door dressed in light wrapper. Search
in the vicinity of the building failed TO
find her. and, having noticed her strange
actions, 1t was feared that something had
happened to her. The police were notified
and parties sent out in all directions. At
half-past ten o'clock two policeme came
upon the decapitated body of the
young woman lying between the rails of the
incoming track Of the Wabash Road near
Seventy -irst street. Not only was the
head severed from the body but one of
the arms and both feet were crushed.
A short distance away lay a part
of her underclothing; the body when found
having upon 1t only the light wrapper in
which she was seen to leave the school.
Her slippers lay together beside her UNDER
clothing. giving one the impression that she
had thus partially disrobed just previous to
her death. 1t Is this feature that gives the case
the appearance ofsuicide. No reason could
be assigned other than that she was some.
what behind in her studies, and that this
had preyed upon her mind for several days
past.-Chica0o Tribune. November 16.

Mr., Simkins said There is one aspect OF

itself deeply upon my mind, and that
now recall with grateful feelings: it was
his universal consideration and kindness to-
wards the young men Of the profession

deep and abiding interest in their welfare,
and was always ready to extend to them
kind advice and assistance.

acquaintance. first !,et him III Columbia

open, frank manner, and the courtesy and
courage that he displayed in the manage
r:.ent of his cases. He impressed me as
strong man, and as possessing to an unusual
degree that high Quality OF which the Mos
ter has spoken, without which no man can
become great lawyer-the love Of justice.
Since that time l have met him frequently
at Columbia and elsewhere. I have been
with him often at the Bar and in the social
circle, and never without being both pleased
and instructed BY him. He was tull OF USE
ful information outside Of his profession.
He thoroughly loved his profession. In
preparing to argue cases before the Su-
preme Court l would always consult hin
whenever the opportunity offered, because
l appreciated and valued his knowledge OF
the principles Of the law, and never con-
suited him without profit. Not long ago
met Mai. Baxter in Columbia, and the
thought passed over me then that this man
is destined to long life of usefulness; he
was the picture of health, vigor and ANNA

had made a reputation at their profession
Maj. Baxter would be one to enjoy green

What Stolbrand Thinks of His Chances.

What Stolbrand Thinks Of His Chances.
representative Of the HERALD had
an interview with Gen. Stolbrand a
few days ago in reference to bis expec-
tations as an applicant for Col. Aiken's
seat in Congress, when the following
conversation took place:
r. of H.-Well, General, you seem
to be getting on swimmingly, and hav-
ing it all your own way now.
Gen. S.-Yes, I am making very
good headway; but am not doing my
work as I weuld like, on account of the
shortness of the time left me. Gle has
only about IS days more.)
R. of H.-Do you really have any
expectations of getting into Congress?
Gen. S.-Expectations! am sure to
get in; I'll defeat your man Aiken'
sure.
R. of H.-Do you base your expecta-
tions upon partisan House and re-
publican majority?
Gen. S.-No, I base them on the
showing that expect to make by my
contest.
R. of H.-You don't seem to have
made much of "a showing" so far; you
examined only two witnesses in Rich
land County, and only few here-and
your forty days are cen to a close
soon.
Gen. SO, yes. but I am only taking
e7idence now on which to base an .ap-
plication to Congress for further time.
When Congress meets shall 60 before
that body and ask to be allowed a fur
ther investigation. I have no doubt
my request will be granted. Then l
will return to the District and take the
affidavit of every man that voted for
me, and in this way show conclusively
that got majority of the votes cast.
R. of H.-You started that plan in
Columbia, General; why did you aban-
don it?
Gen. Swell, I found l would not
have time to complete it.
E. of H.-Wouldn such proceed
ing as that be &c porte, and therefore
Objectionable as evidence?
Gen. S.-No. I think not; the other
side could be present if it desired
and take part in the investigation.
There is precedent for it; it was done
in Chicago in 1854, and I have no
doubt it can be done in my case.
R. of H.-Well, General, you didn't
stay at Laurens long. (He went up
Wednesday night, and came back Fri
day morning.)
Gen. S.-No, didn't examine any
witnesses up there. I examined the
census returns in the Clerks Office to
ascertain the number of votes in the
county-and I got hold of some other
important information. but can't tell
you what it is-You are on the other
side.
