Miss M. K. J. Byrnes-Sprfug Millinery.
 Yesterday brought the great millinery event of the season to host of the promi- nent ladies of the city in the annual spring opening of millinery and bonnet trimmings at Miss M E. J. Byrnes' highly popular em- porium. Highly artistic and tasteful work characterize the establishment and have ren- dered it a famous and acknowledged center for the most beautiful of hats and bonnets, and nowhere is to be found more beautiful epitome of the leading artistic styles of the metropolis Ladies may in Gotham tire their patience and exhaust their strength in the vain quest of hat to suit and then return and find rest and balm in just the Ioveliest hat at this establishment. All the beautiful hats and bonnets which may now be seen there are well worthy of particular notice, but we could not do them justice and know that the ladies will not fail to see the display for themselves and seek there for the talismanic hat which shall best become them and do justice to their attractiveness. To-day and tomorrow will see the beautiful parlors thronged to overhowing. As usual, bonnet trimmings are one of the specialties, also the mourning department The parlors were thronRed yesterday despite the touch of Feb- ruarv weather. and the elegant parIors and show windows presented fine sight, while exciting admiration.

Lo! The Poor Indian!

President Hayes has sent message to
Congress in regard to the future treatment
Of the Indians. He says:
"Our general Indian policy for the future
should embrace the following ideas: First
the Indians should be prepared for citizen.
ship by giving to their young Of both sexes
that Industrial and general education which
Is requisite to enable them to be self cup
porting and capable Of soif nroteotinn In
civilized communities. Second, lands should
be allotted to the Indians 10 severalty, inal-
ienable for o certain period. Third, tho In
dians should have fair compensation for their
lands not req uired for individual alsotme nts
the amount to be invested with suitable safe-
guards for their benefit. Fourth, With these
prerequisites secured the Indians should be
made citizens and DO invested with tho rights
and charged with the responsibilities Of
citizenship. 1t ia therefore recommended,
that legislation be adopted in regard to the
Ponca Indians authorizing the Secretary of
the Interior to secure to individual members
OF the Ponca tribe in severalty sufR cient land
for their support, ipalienable for term of
years, or until the restriction on alienation
u'"J w ic"oSeu Wy tuo TTe6lQeu(s Ample
time and opportunity should be given to tho
members Of the tribe freely to choose their
ailotments, either on their new or old reser.
vation. Full compensation should be made
for the lands to DO relinquished and for the
losses to thom by Sioux depredations aud by
reason of their removal to the Indian Terri-
tory, tho amount named in the declaration of
the chiefs made on December 81, 1880. In
short nothing should be left uudono to show
to the Indians that the Government of the
United States regards their rights as equally
sacred with those of its citizens. The time
has come when the policy should be to place
tho Indians as rapidly as practicable on the
same footing with other permanent inhabi-
HHnts OF the country. I do not undertake to
apportion the blame for the injustice done to
the Poucas. Whether the Executive or Con,
gress or tho public is chiefly 10 fault is not
now question of practical Importance. As
the chief executive OF the time when the
wrong was consummated, am deeply sem
sible that enough of the responsibility for
that wrong justly attaches to me to make it
my personal duty and earnest desire to do all
l can to give to these Indian people that
measure ofredress which is required alike by
justice and by humanity.

GeoRgta tho Legislature. required by Ia p
that passenger rates should not exceed three
oents per mile and the law is being carried
out. We believe that lower rates will moro
than comparatively increased travel. Suoh
hss been the experience Of the Post Office
Department, which with postage at ten cents
was not self>supportipg. while now at one
and three cents there is o surplus revenue
from 1t. Railroads must run daily trains
and the expense is the came. whether they
carry passengers or not. This being true,
and Ave cents per mile being expensive, no
one travels button businoss or on extraordinary
occasions for pleasure. Low rates will In
duoe travel aud pay the roads better, as we'll
as accommodate the peoples. Let our other
railroads follow the example, of this road and
they will prove create 60" eniences to the
country and increase their incomes.

Railroad Progress.

We are in receipt of circular from the
General Passenger and Ticket Agent of the
GreenVille and Columbia Railroad, informing
us that the management Of that road have
reduced the local passenger fares to basis,
when tickets arc purchased at stations Of four
cents per mile on first class and three and
q half cents on second class tickets. With
view Of accommodating local travel the
same road has arranged system Of round
trip tickets along the local line at three cents
per milo.
We take pleasure in placing this nforma-
ton before tho public and in commencing the
wisdom as well as public spirit of tho pres
ent management in this action. We believe
1t will increase the revenue of the road in
promoting travel and tend largely to the
public good in spreading information likely
to flow from larger number of our people
visiting other parts of the State. We have
no doubt but tho frequent excursions of the
past few years have benefited many of our
citizens in inducing them to visit our cities,
attend agricultural fairs, examine improved
farm implements and see the effect of i'm
proved tillage, seed 60 Experience or prac-
tical test is the best teacher, but next to it in
value is personal observation. Reading and
reflection are valuable, but there can mover
be gained by reading as clear a view of any
article or improv ement as the eve imparts.
When the eye secs machine and an oral
explanation of it's uses and parts arc made,
while it is in view, men can readily accept or
reject 1t on their judgment. In this view wo
regard travel beneficial to every profession
and avocation, and whatever puts travel in
reach Of the largest number of people pro +,
notes both information and usefulness. In
this age of progress the observing eye and
rejecting mind finds constant food for thought
and he is the wiser farmer or economist who
gathers information whenever and whereye or
he travels. If these views be correct not
only will tho railroad be benefited by in
creased travel, but the country also by In
creased information and increased produor
| tion.
This action ofthe railroad is more commens
dab!e from the fact that it is voluntary and
calculated to accommodate tho public. In
