The report of the secretary of the inter

sentS an elaborate account of the business
of that department. A; summary Of it
would be too extended for this place. lask
your careful attention to the report itself.
Prominent among the matter which chal-

cause of trouble and embarrassment
from the infancy of the government, 1t
was but recently that any efforts have been

termined, consistent and promising sue
cess. 1t has been easier to resort to con-
yenient makeshifts for tiding over the tenn
porary difficulties and to grapplc with the
great permanent problem, the easier course
has almost invariably been pursued. 1t
was natural at time when the national
territory seemed almost illimitable and
contained many millions of acres far south
of the bounds of civilized settlement, that
a policy should have been initiated which,
more than ought else, has been the fruitful
source of our Indian complications. :.

with the various Indian tribes as q seperatc

An appalling calamity has befallen the

ments the undisturbcd relations of amity

destiny in his hands, the tribute of OuI
grateful deyOtions. 10 that mysterOu,
exercise of will which has taken from US
the loved and illustriOus citizen who was
but lately the head of the nation, we bow
IN sorrow and submission. The memory
of his exalted character, his noble achieve
mentS and of his patriotic life will he
treasured forever for a sacred possession
of the whole people. The announcement
ofhis death drew from foreign governments
and people tributes of sympathy and sor
row which history will record as sigma
tokens of the kinShip of nations and the
federation of mankind.
