A just Condemnation of Washington
journalism.

Judge Mylie, of the District Court in his
charge to q grand jury; few days ago, Sc.
verify reprehended phases of Washington
Journalism represented by the newspapers
of that city, and the special correspondents
OF outside newspapers. He said the news
papers were constantly containing scanda-
lous libels on public men and on private
character. That was species OF offense that
created more unhappiness and misery in So
ciety. and indeed more injustice than any
other form of crime. He rather suspected
that walters for periodical newspapers had
among Others more than the usual
proportions of liars. They were
bad for lying. The more sensational
the lie was the more calculated it was to
blast the peace of families, and the spicer
it was, the more the paper would sell and
newspaper men would laugh in derision at
anybody who undertook to talk of them
seriously about the injustice ola thing of
that kind. He knew there were men Of in
tegrity and honesty connected with news
papers, who entertained and cherished hon
orable and christian sentiments, and thought
on the whole there was an improvement
going on in that respect. IF the public
would cease to patronize such papers as he
alluded to such low vice and crime would
soon die out.

Interior Department-Socrecary Tell.
er's Report.

Secretary Teller in his report recommends
the disarming of the Indians and the pur-
chase of their arms by the government He
thinks this would remove the temptation to
60 upon the war-path. They have no Other
use for guns, because they have their lands
secured to them and reasonable provision.
made for them, so that they need net fear He
is opposed to the policy of giving the In
dams lands in severality, and recommends
the passage Of law to give each tribe a
patent for the land the government has
guaranteed to it, leaving the Indians to
themselves: Very many of these reserva-
tons contain large areas of valuable land
that cannot be cultivated by the Indians
even though they were as energetic and.
laborious as the best class of white agricul..
turists. All such reservations should be-
reduced in size, and the surplus not needed
ought to be bought by the government and
opened to the operation of the homestead
law. and it would then soon be settled by in
dustrious whites, who, as neighbors, would
become valuable auxiliaries in the work q.
civilizing the Indians residing on the re-
mainder of the reservation. When thus re-
duced the government should issue to the
tribe its patent, resting in the tribe the title
in fee simple as fully as it does to the 100
acres gwen 10 the SeCEler. 1he secretary re-
views the report of the commissioners of
public lands, patents, and railroads. In
indorsinS his Recommendation for the repeal
of the pre- emption law and modification of
the homestead, he remarks that the pre-
emption law, intended as q means of ena-
bling the citizen wishing TO make a home to
do SO cheaply and speedily, has been used
largely to aggregate large quantities of lands
for the benefit of the Spectator, and not for
those for whose benefit it was intended. Il
will be useless to repeal the presumption laws
if the opportunity shall exist to commit
the same frauds under the cover of the
homestead law. If it is thought best to re-
tain the pre-emph IN laws, they should;be
SO amended that the filing for pre-em ption

Singular as it seems, the above phase
may mean the same as "work for every
BODY" A reference to the following
story published in the Woman's Journa!
and illustrating the constant l-day cares
of mother, will explain the paradox:
A little boy, on his way to build fires ana
sweep offices in Boston, while the stars
were vet in the skv, told the writer:
"My mother gets me up, builds the
fire and gets my breakfast and sends me
of. Then she gets my brother up ana
gets his breakfast and sends him OIL
Then she gives the other children their
breakfast and sends them to school; anc
then she and the baby have their break
fast"
ooh, she is most two, but she can talk
and walk es well as a ~, OF US"
IT get two dollarsa week. and my faith
or gets two dollars day."
'How much does your mother get?'..
With q bewildered look. he SAID,
"Mother! Why, che don't work tor any
If thought you said che worked for
oh yes, for us she does; but there
amt any money in it."
This wife of day-labor represents
large class of hard-working women:
There is more than one Labor of loYe"
that draws no pay In cash.
But mankind would be much meaner
race ifall such labor were turned into
hireling's task. The true wife and
mother could not respect herself II all
her services at home were counted at a
price and settled for in days or weeks
wages.

scouts and soldiers ofthe United States army
of. the Sioux nation of Indians, the money
and annuities belonging to them, confscated
to the United States for the relief of the per-
sons for damages sustained by depredations
of certain band ofSioux. A similar bill was
introduced in the senate in 1879 !.
A very important amendment was made
to the pending bankrupt bill by declaring
that any broker or dealer who should sell
options for future delivery in stocks, grain
or other commodity could be thrown into
bankruptcy, unless he possessed the proper
ty at the time OF the sale and was able to
deliver it, One Of the senators said private
~ that they proposed to close up the stock
exchange in Wall street and the Chicago
board Of trade lift was necessary In order to
stop this fraudulent ornersbusiness on all
the leading commodities of the nation.

SENArE.-The bankruptcy bills were dis.
cussed. The principal speech was made to-
day by Judge Garland of Arkansas, who i
one of the best lawyers of the body. The
only important amendment which was
adopted was one proposed by Senator Vest
and acquisced in by ingalls,, after some dis.
cussion, which prohibits debtor from FL.
ing a petition in bankruptcy unless he
has been resident in the district for six
months Immediately preceding the act.
This is to prevent the commission of fraud
by persons who, during temporary absence
from their residence, might file petition
in bankruptcy and secure DISCHARGE with
out an opportunity ON the part of the cred
ttors to know their whereabouts or inten-
tons.

Beck's resolution on civil service reform
much more sweeping in its character. Sen:

words on motion of Senator Harrison, the

zion. The only new legislation in the bill
provides for buying the supplies in open

terests of the government. The bill went
through with the adoption of few
unimportant amendments. Representa-
tive Bayne created furry by calling up
