Senator Hale on the President.

AT the Maine Republican conyen.
tion last week Senator Hale presided
and during his address he was inter-
ruptedby the question, s,What about
Arthur?' to which Mr.. Hale re-
piled:
my friend inquiries what about
Arthur? Well. let me say this (: Any
man who saw President Arthur dur
ing those long. weary days when
General Garfield hovered on that thin
margin which lies next to both life
and death, and saw the tender solicit
tude that yet did not break his calm
spirit, will appreciate in some degree
the nature that is his. He has been
all his life an active, earnest Repub-
lican. He has seen the active, earnest
strenuous side of politics. He has
believed in his beliefs, and has always
been fighting for those beliefs, and
has upheld the integrity of the Re-
publican party, when some men who
now distrust him have not been so
engaged. He has belonged to that
portion of the Republican party
which has been in a minority, VIII ch
is now in more of minority than
ever, and which 1 believe it will be
healthful for American politics if it
remain in that minority. 1 do not
believe that President Arthur is now
bent on breaking down that great
majority and setting up that minor.
ity. If he is so bent he is bound to
make more deplorable failure than
any man who was ever President /;
but believe that in these long years
of his experience he ought to have
learned and has learned wisdom. He
is now by virtue of his high office,
without having sought it. the head,
OF the Republican party; and my
belief is, as the question has been
asked me. that President Arthur is
trying to bring all the shades of
opinion, which are essentially Re-
publican, into accord. so that they
may work together for the good of
the country through the Republican
party. l have no warrant to speak
for him and have sought none but 1
know that he has hard task to per-
form. The tyranny and the arro-
gance of men long used to power is
hard to bear. The recklessness and
unreasonableness of men who are
seeking to gain power is just as hard
to bear, and between these two the
President must keep an even balance
if he can."

Some Census Reports.

Some of the census statistics which
have just been completed and tabu-
lated are of much interest. Those as
to illiteracy are actually startling,
and Indicate the positive necessity
on the part of the States of providing
more facilities for the general educa-
tion of the people, to the extent at
least originally contemplated in the
establishment ofthe public school sys-
TENS. There are in the States and
Territories of the United States no
less than 4,504, 1862 persons above the
age of 81 years who cannot read.
OF these 2.056,463 are whites and
2,147.90 colored. Included in the
latter are 300,O 900 Indians and 100, 900
Asiatics. The Indians and Asiatics
are not citizens and not likely to be-
come such. Deducting these, it is
shown that there are many more
illiterate white people than black in
the country. OF the total number of
illiterate persons over q years ofage,
assuming half to be females, which
is quite proper estimate, it leaves
about 1000, 900 adult males, or about
20 per cent. of the entire voting pop.
ulation, who know nothing about
the ballots which they cast except
from hearsay. In the last fifteen
years much has been said, and said
with truth, of the dense ignorance of
the colored voters of the South. But
in the meantime not enough atten-
tion has been drawn to the illiteracy
of white voters in the North. Even
in New England, where popular ed
ucation is supposed to be more wide
ly diffused than in any other section.
the illiterate voters hold the balance
of power. In New York, in Penn
sylvania, in Ohio, in short it may be
said in almost every State, the iIlit-
crate voters, If combined, can decide
any political issue. In the State of
Maryland 0O,UOO voters, OF Whom 90
per cent, are white, do not of their
own knowledge know for whom they
are voting. The assessed value of
real estate has decreased In some of
the states, and increased In some. In
Maryland it has increased 81 per cent.

Licking an Elder.

One summer in the years agone
while camp meeting was in prog
ress in Eaton County, says the De-
tro1 Free Press. there arrived on the
grounds bully named Miller, who
had made vow to lick Elder John
son and break up the whole business.
The Elder heard the news with calm
composure, and as soon as at liberty,
he hunted up worldly friend of his
own and asked:
"Friend Smith, didn't you used to
fight in your younger day.?"
"Ah! Elder, I have had many a
turn with the boys"
''And what is the effect ofa sudden
blow between the eyes ?"
''It astonishes and humbles."
sis there any danger of killing a
man by such blow ?"
"Neyer knew a case of it,"
The Elder went his way with a.
serene smile on his face. Miller had
his coat off and was hunting for him,
and they met face to face as they
turned wagon. Miller started to
crack his heel and crow, but he never
finised. The Elder took him one
spare between the lockers without
stopping his pace, and it took twelve
rowdies three dippers of water and
two quarts of whisky to revive the
patient and get him off the grounds.
One day. year afterwards, he met
the Elder and seriously asked:
"Elder, some of the boys say was
kicked by horse, and others stick
to it that l was struck by lightning.

The Indian Commissioners Report

Commissioner Price of the Indian bu-
reau, has transmitted to the secretary of the
tA'ueiC "JtihG "5U;" 'I5Jg."f fnD f6oldihfssi4lGr
says:
The operations and results of the last year
in the different agencies compare favorably
with any one OF the preceding sc ars. Land
has been opened to cultivation, houses for
Indian residences have been built, schools
opened and operated, and in many cases and
in various ways the cause of civilization ad-
vanced. The cooperation of religious soci-
etieS is regarded by the commissioner as a
very important auxiliary i'll The civilization
of the Indians, and he points TO the bene-
fits derived from their work during the past
few years.
On the topic of Indian education the re-
port says Exclusive Of the five civilized
tribes, the whole number of Indian pupils
attending school during the past yeac has
been S.5U5. OF these 4GS were in attendance
at the Carlisle, Hampton and Forest Grove
training schools. OF ,he remainder 4,5l0
attended reservation boarding schools and
1898 reservation day schools. The average
attendance for the year las been 5,2l9. In
dustrial training for bo,s is carried on at
agency boarding schoos and is receiving
more and more attentioneach year. In con-
nection with tifty-seyen schools 1,423 acres
are under cultivation. BlackSmithlng, tail
oring and harnessmaking are taught at four
schools, seven teack shoemaking, ten car
pentering and fifteen the raising an d
care of stock. Training in the 80
branches has been stimulated by the success
of the experiments at Carlisle, Hampton
and Forest Grove. An appropriation of not
less than $50,OO0 should be made by Con-
Gress at its next session 10 properly equip
existing agency schools for industrial work.
The whole number of DAY schools now in
operation is 101. The commissioner trusts
that the time is not far distant when sys-
tenn of district schools will be established in
Indians settlements which will serve not only
as centers of enlightenment for those neigh
borhoods, but will give suitable employment
to returned Students especially the young
women, for whom ii is specially difficult to
provide. The amount asked by the commits
sioner from Congress for Indian education
for the year ending June 90, 1884, is S9l7, eco.

Work OF the Weather Bnrenu,

General Hazen, the chief signal officer of
the army, IN his annual report states that
the signal service has greatly increased ite
usefulness since last year in spite of greater
difficulties than were experienced since the
organization of the weather service. AL
though the work of the corps has grown
there are fewer officers to perform it, and for
the fiscal year of 1888 there is $55,000 less
for observation and report of storms than
was actually expended in 1880, 1881 or 1882.
The report shows the insufficiency of the
force employed to do the work required and
a strong appeal is made for an additional
force in order to meet the actual require
ments of the service. Extra men are par
ticularly needed for 'indication'' work and
for the inspection service The report as
cribes the difficulties of the service to the
defective organization of the corps and re-

the corps be made distinct branch of the
