We are glad to see that Mr.. Goods sub
scription list at William Senter & Co.'s store
is filling up by voluntary subscriptions, 1888
volumes being already subscribed for, and we
would urge upon our citizens the Importance
of making sure the success of the enterprise
He proposes to cover just the space in which
oar history is lacking. We see standing many
fine old houses which we're built before the
embargo times, and we wish to know all about
the men who built them. We know our citi-
zsns were prominent in the war of 1872 and
we are anxious to have the particulars. We
know the Legislature met here for several
years and that rnany distinguished men assem-
bled here in those days, but where can we turn
for its record? 1t is well known that Mr.
Goold has the material for all this, and that
he alone knows how to use it properly, and
knowing this the most active measures should
be taken to secure it. Those who can afford it
should subscribe for extra copies to send to
their friends, land certainly no pleasante- gift
could be bestowed on an old Portlander abroad)
and if the list cannot be filled promptly, the
sum should be guaranteed. We owe it to our
successors Think how disappointing it is to
read the meagre account of the early settlers
before Parson Smiths coming. We want Mr..
Goods material put into print at once and
placed beyond the possibility of destruction.

The Indian Question.

The meeting of the Maine Indian Society
was well attended Saturday afternoon and an
ided interest given by short address from a
friend who had visited the Modocs and various
other tribes.
The mission among the Modocs is q Friends
Mission, and it was Immediately after the Mo-
doc war that 100 Modocs were brought in and
given to the care of the Friends. When the
manacles were taken from their swollen limbs,
and they were treated tenderly and kindly,
their gratitude was deeply pathetic. The eli
mate was so much colder than their own that
many of them have died, not more than 95 now
living. They are living very comfortably
adopting very readily the arts of civilization.
Steamboat Frank, their chief, abjures his chief
tanship and devotes himself to teaching Chris
tianity to his people and himself setting an ex-
ample in devotion to agricultural pursuits. As
an illustration of the thoroughness of their
change, three years ago some people of Kansas
City invited the Modocs to take part in the 4th
of July celebration, and, unbeknown to them
advertised. widely that there would be war
dances and other exhibitions by the Indians.
After they had arrived the Modocs refused all
acceptance of the programme, all enticements
of liquor and every thing which could derogate
from their dignity. saying, that in embracing
civilization and Christianity, they had left all
former customs and habits behind them. Are
not such PEI pie worthy of the protection of
law? The chief of the Shawnees at this sta
tion is an earnest Baptist Christian. Many of
their hoases are as nice as New England
farm houses their wives skilled in cookery and
all domestic needs. The Senecas on this Res
ervation resisted for long time all approaches
of the white man, threatening to kill any who
should dare come near them, believing them
to be all liars, but three years ago half-breed
Friend from Indiana, made an attempt to see
them, at first unsuceessfully, but, after calling
upon a wealthy Catholic Indian of that tribe,
and making his wishes known, he was imme-
diately encouraged by the offer of his ware
house loft in which to hold meetings much to
the indignation of bis tribe. But the Seneca
insisted upon bis right to let his own building
for the pun pose if he chose. When Mr.. Hui
bard held his first meeting, two Indians crept
up the stairs, listened and went in to hear all
that he had to say. From that time the inter-
est increased and there are people today
more anxious for all that civilization can give
than the Senecas
