rhe expenditure on account of In
dians, which is mostly in money dis
tributed to the tribes and paid for
goods and provisions, is very vari-
able. Since the war it has averag ed
about $5, 100000 a year, against about
$3, 800 900 q year from 1856 to the close
of the war. This increase of nearly
Is per cent. is largely due. no doubt,
to the rapid settlement of the west ,
involving to some extent the extinc-
ton of game, aud creating neces.
sity for holding the ssvages OH reser-
vations, where they are in great
measure dependent upon the govern.
ment for subsistence. 1t is to be hoped
that the policy Of encouraging. and if
necessary compelling, the Indians to
earn their subsistence like civilized
men will eventually reduce this item
of expenditure to trifie. But this
will not be accomplished in day or
year. 1t is no easy matter to induce
or drive the Indian to abandon his
savage mode Of lite, and 1t may be
even more difficult to conquer the
Indian ring.
The total net ordinary expenditures
Of the government were less last year
than In any previous year eince 1861
excepting 1876, 1877 and 1873. They
amounted, however, TO $3.50, 7l2, 1887, /,
or three and half times as much as
in any yeal from 1856 to 1862.

A TOUGH. WITNESS.

Not even lawyer, however skillful
in cross-examination, can make a Wit
ness tell the truth, provided the witness
wishes to evade it. It is impossible to
put the question In such exact language
that it will demand the desired answer,
1t was necessary, on a certain occasion
in court, to compel witness to testify
as to the way in which Mr.. Smith
treated his horse. "Well, SIR" said a
lawyer. with a sweet and winning smile
"a smile intended to drown all suspic.
ion as to the Interior. purpose-"how
does Mr.. Smith generally ride a horse?''
The witness looked up innocently and
replied: Generally a-straddle sir. 1 be-
lieve." The lawyer asked again: tBut
Sir, what gate does he rider" The i'm.
perturable witness answered. "He new
or rides any gate at all, sir, but I'ye
seen his boys ride every gate on the
farm" The lawyer saw he was on the
track OF tartar, and his next question
was very insinuating. "How does Mr.,
Smith ride when he is In company with
others? l demand clear answer; ;;
''Well, sir" said the witness, she keeps
up with the rest II his horse is able to,
or If not he falls behind" The LAWYER
by this time was almost beside himself
and asked, "And how does he ride
when he is alonep" 81 don't know !,
was the reply, 4 never was with him
when he was alone," and there the case
dropped.
