A friend asks us to reproduce the following from
the Romans Journal, concerning the status OF
women in Russia " To our present time, to Nicho-
las and the three Alexanders, is due the contempt
bic task of declaring women from higher educa-

sightedness OF such an oppression is well illus

BESSIE DIETS TRIP TO PORTLAND.
From a long poe1a sent by Bessie Dietz (aged
49, GAINESVILLE, o, on her trip TO Portland, We
select the following verses:
We have been to the city of Portland
In Maine. the old Pine Tree Slate,
Where the Nineteenth Grand Army Encampment
Held many lively debate.
A genial party we left GAINESVILLE
With Department honors fine;
QuaTtermaster Dietz, Commander Brown
And Acknowledgement Axline.
On Monday in Portland we arrived,
All honors the city could command,
Reception by Gov. Robe. all contrived
To entertain our Army Grand.
Reception to our Commander-in-Chief.
Brave Johnny kountz, " The Drummer Boy"
Gave fine address, happy and brief;
Said the Grand Army was his JOY.
THE INDIAN WORSE TREATED THAN THE NEGRO
FRIEHDs OF TIE CLUB: In regard to the question
propoundcd by Irving H. jackson will take the
affirmative. remember once having the oppor-
tunity OF hearing al Indian, who told US OF a few
of the innumeTsi,le frauds which the white man
pTaeced upon them. One, to the best of my recol-
The L. s. Indian Agent, when the Indian would
bring in his furs. would have the Indian place the
furs on an end of a pole which acted as balance
scales The agent would then have the Indian
place his foot IN a loop attached TO the other
end of the pole. and if the Indian could draw
weigh Is pounds. Do you think that is
ali ii contained? In exchange the red man
would RECEIVE a s9f s c9r oa,
portion of the flour would be taken out and fine
white sand put in TO fill the deficiency.
Is il any wonder that the Indian would not stand
such dealing with so-calIed honest civilized peo-
pie? Would allow Great Britain TO treat US in
this manner? If the Indian had been mute when
not only this trick but scores of others were
brought upon them, ii would have showed a lack
ofjudgment and spirit
visited this continent, did they find the Indians
the war path? No. The trouble was that some of
those gentlemen that came over here to get
wealthy, became smart and lazy; and when these
diseases unite il must be dreadful crisis to which
the civilized man has arrived. Could You blame
the red man for getting tired of feeding the lazy
guests? Then, when the white men left, they
would occasionally visit the corn-bin, or whatever
contained-the corn. and, of course, would amply
supply themselves with this indispensable article
of food.
Did the u. 6. Government ever incur great a
debt for the Indian they did for the negro? No.
is the Indian allowed to vote {? No Is the negro?

punishment has been done the Western Indians

Indians were let alone, no fighting would be in
