More Leasing of Indian Lands.

Washington special to the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette: The interior de-
partment is now considering a very inn
portant question IN connection with
the management of the Indian tribes,
and the decision will establish a piece
dent which will materially affect them.
Capt. "Oklahoma" Payne is not the
only white man who is invading the
tribal reservations 10 the Indian Terri
tory. The department is inform ed
that millions of acres belonging to the
several tribes are being occupied for
grazing purposes by whites, and for
the privilege the Indians receive no
compensation. Now comes one B. II.
Campbell, one of the largest cattle
raisers in the west and wants to lease
of the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes
z, 1000 acres in their reservation, ~
ING south and west of Darlington, at .
yearly rental OF $50 900. The chi,fs OF
THESE two tribes have signed a petition
gIging that they be allowed to make
the lease, on the ground that the land
is being used by whites, and they might

and practically useless, although q
small part is occupied.
The agent in charge reports in favor
of the plan, and says that the chiefs
have promised to agree that half Of the
rental shall be devoted to school pur.
poses, and half to buying fancy stock
for their farms. Heretofore the de-
partment has vigorously tried to ex-
clude whites from Indian reservations,
but the pressure is growing so great
that 1t IL a question whether this ex.
clusion can long be maintained.
The Indians are approaching the
folly of attempting to hold an average
of 600 acres of laud for every soul, and
are willing to make terms with the tide
of civilization surrounding them. This
case Is only one of many similar in
kind, which will be presented if this is
acted upon favorably, inasmuch as it
involves departure from the policy
of the government. Secretary Teller
will consult those best qualified to
Judge before settling 50 important a
question.

Foreign Commerce of the United States

"a
The annual report of the chief of the
bureau of statistics upon our foreign
commerce, recently made public, is,
says Washington dispatch to the New
York Times, q peculiarly interesting
paper In the last fiscal year our ex.
ports of merchandise fell off $15l, 0C0,-
600, while our imports increased near
ly $82,000,000. The excess of exports
over imports for the last fiscal year
was little less than $26,000,000 or al
most exactly one-tenth of the excess
exports for the previous year. The
total value Of imports and exports of
merchandise and specie fell off $107,-
600 600. The decrease OF more than
ESQ, 900 900, III the value of exports of
domestic merchandise was due, says the
report, almost entirely tc the falling off
in the exports of c0ttons and of bread
stutis and provisions, result attribut-
able to the drouth aud other uufavor-
able meteorological influences which
prevailed during the crop season of
1881. In that year the corn crop fell
otf 30 per cent, the wheat crop % per
cent and the cotton crop Is per cent,
as compared with the crops Of the pre-
cediug year. II is shown that the de
crease in the value of the exports of
cotton and of breadstuffs and provis-
ions was Sl66, 000,G00, or more than
the total decrease in the value of the
exports of domestic merchandise.
There was, however considerable in
crease in tue exports of petroleum, of
manufactured articles and of certain
other commodities. The value Of ex.
ports OF raw and Manufactured cotton
was more than $2l3, 600 600, or % per
cent of the whole, while the exports of
bread, breadstuffs and provisions was
S303, 100000 or Al per cent of the
whole.
Our imports were greater in value
for the last year than ever before,
aud the value exceeded the value of
the preceding year by $31 600 600, the
increase being due chiefly to the high.
er values of some of the leading com
modities. The imports of sugar and
molasses lead The list, amounting to
800 900, 900 or almost one-seventh oil
the whole. Nearly Al per cent of our
CohAil WIS Will EugidDu, ScOL-
land and Ireland, the exports amount
ing to nearly 54l per cent, and the inn
ports to q per cent. If the colonial
possessions of Great Britain be includ-
ed the percentage of exports is 633,
and that of imports SO. OF the mer-
chandise exported from the United
States, 45 8 per cent went out of the
port Of New York city, and of the inn
ports 6S per cent came in at that port.
OF our total foreign commerce nearly
81 per cent was carried on at that
point. OF the duties on imports near
ly 90 per cent was collected at New
York The duties collected at all ports
was 423 per cent of the value Of the
dutiable goods. In 1879 the duties
were nearly 40 per cent of the value
Tables are given which will be useful

His Fortune.

A young man in Edinburgh. who had
no fortune, requested a lawyer, a friend
of his, to recommend him TO q family
where he was daily visitor, and where
there MAS q handsome daughter, who
was to have a large fortune. The law
yer said he did not exactly know how,
but he would inquire. The next time
he saw his young friend he asked him
If he had any property at all
mo" replied he.
"Well, said the lawyer, "would you
suffer anyone to cut off your nose, il he
would give you twenty thousand pounds
for it?
"Whst an idea Not for the world'
CTS well replied the lawyer; 81 had
a reason for asking"
The next time he saw the girls father
he said;
81 have inquired about the young
mans circumstances. He has, indeed
no ready money, but he has a jewel for
which, to my knowledge, he has been
offered, and refused, twenty thousand
pounds"
This induced the old father to con-
sent to the marriage, which accordingly
took place; though, il is said that in the
sequel, he often shook his head when
he thought of the jewel.
