Mexican Cruelty.
Texas Siftings.

An Austin man who made prolong-
ed trip through Mexico gives US some
interesting details of his trip. He says
that when he was in the City of Mexico
he was shown through some of the old
buildings, converts and jails that were
erected by the Spaniards. In the wall
of one of these ancient buildings he
noticed small opening and ne natur-
ally inquired of his Mexican guide
what it meant. He was told that it
was one of the buildings in which Grim
inals we're walled up alive.
What was the use of the hole in the
wall?"

ener was dead already, and didn't give
him any more"

TIE latest kick of the desperate
star reuters was made by their organ,
the Critic. Two reporters were sent to
the office of Attorney General Brews-
ter with orders to irritate that gentle
man into display of anger, which
could be used to serve their purpose.
The reporters were promptly fired out
by the indignant Brewster, and the
paper published what it claimed to be
the details of the interview, a half
column of obscenity and profanity
unfit for publication. This is in keep

SOME well-m Gaming ladies in New
York have organized an auxiliary tC
the National Indian association, and
will petition congress to afford the
same protection to Indians that the
negroes now enjoy, to establish schools
on their reservations and allow them
tull religious liberty. The jealous Ia
dies forget to urge congress to take
any measures to afford the same pro
lection to white settlers upon the from
tier, who have harder lines than the
lazy redskins, who live upon govern
ment rations on the reservation. The
meaning of the demand for full re-
ligious liberty for the redskins Is not
clear.

Senate-Sen Beck said he had called for
information in regard to the discrepancy
between appropriations and the reported
expenditures. and thought in was not sat
isfactorily explained in the communica-
tion of the secretary of the iRterior.
In the discussion Sen. Beck said that
making appropriations to pay teachers in
blacksmithing upon reservations, in ac-
cordance with our absurd treaties, was a
mere waste of money. These appropria-
tions are made from year to year, while
among many of the tribes no school houses
were opened. Many Indians could hard
ly be caught with las.o much less con-
fined in school houses, and the money was
spent upon supernumeries.
