THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

In his message to the country Presi-
dent Cleveland deals with the silver
question about the same as do the east.
ern papers who are crying for a suspen-
sion of the coinage of the standard dol.
lar. and who speak of it as an S6-cent
coin. That portion of the message relat-
ing to the Chinese question is, on the
whole, satisfactory. In speaking OF the
troubles in Wyoming and Washington
Territories, Mr.. Cleveland says that
race prejudice is the chief factor in
originating these disturbances" This is
the Eastern notion, and is entirely errone-
Gus. However, he is sound on the prop
osition that it is right and polite to ex-
clude Chinese labor, and signifies his
willingness to consider legislation for the
strengthening of the Restriction Act. A
new Chinese Restriction Bill will be
earnestly considered" He advocates
a reduction OF the revenue. Justice
and fairness dictate that i'll any modlica-
ton of our present laws relating to
revenue, the industries and interests
which nave been encouraged by such
laws and in which our citizens have large
investments should not be ruthlessly in
iured or destroyed. We should also deal
with the subject in such a manner as to
protect the interests OF American labor,
which is the capital Of our workingmen.
It's stability and proper remuneration
furnish the most justifable pretexts for
a protective policy. Within these lin.
itations a certain reduction having been
determined upon, the inquiry follows:
Where can it best be RENTED, and what
articles can best be released from duty in
the interest Of our citizens! | think the
reduction should be made in the revenue
derived from a tax upon the imported
necessaries of life. We thus directly
lessen the cost of living or every family
of the land and release to the public in
every humble lane a larger measure of
the rewards of industry"

Indians, and reasonable time has inter-
ycned for the transition from barbarisin
or a semi.civilized state to u OF civiliza'
ton, then will the Indian be prepared to
take upon himself the higher and more
responsible duties and privileges which
appertain to American citizenship"
Referring to the Indian outbreaks in
the Southwest, the Commissioner says:
"On the 18th of last May a portion OF
the Chiricahuas, numbering AZ men and
90 women and children, succeeded in
escaping from military control, while the
remaining portion remained peaceably at
Camp Apache. OF those who escaped
eight men were killed by Apache scouts,
and 81 women and children were cap
tured and are now held under military
surveillance at Fort Bowie. The others
have been roaming through the country
committing murders and depredations,
and pillaging upon and terrorizing the
citizens. In view of the outbreak in
May, and as a precautionary measure
against any collision or combination that
might be made between those off and
those remaining on the reservation, as
well as to assure peace and quiet to citi.
zens, it has been deemed advisable to
place all the Apaches temporarily under
the charge of the War Department, that
Department to have full authority to
prescribe and enforce such regulations
for their management as may be deemed
nroner.

EUREKA. New, December 10. 1885.
To the Board of County commissioners Of
White Pine County, Observation-Disclosures: You
have submitted to us the following question.
viz:
Do the bonds Of White Pint county, known
as the "Ten t10) per cent Funding Bonds,"
issued under and by virtue of an Act of the
Legislature of the State OF Nevada entitled
A Act TO consolidate and fund the indebted.
ness Of White Pine Connty." approved March
2. 1873. draw interest after the maturity OF
such bonds, and after the coupons represent
ing the interest thereon have all been de.
tsched and paid?
We answer the above question in the mega.
tive.
The Act OF the Legislature. under which
the bonds in question were issued, provides
that such bonds shall become due and payable
ON or before the first day Of sasnary, A. d.
1888.
The Act also provides that a coupon for the
interest due for each year shall be annexed 10
the bond, aud that such coupons shall be mum.
bered and shall express the amount OF inter
est duo at the respective periods named In the
Act.
These " respective periods are the fret day
Of January of each year. until the maturity Of
the bonds. The AT OF the Legislature, au-
thcriz!rg the issuance of these bonds. Ia snd
became . part Of the contract between White
Pine county and the bondholders, and each
purchaser of these bonds was bound to know
the authority of the Board Of County Commits
sioners In connection with their issuance, and
such purchaser Is conclusively presumed TO
have full knowledge Of the terms Of such con.
tract, whether such to- ms be found upon tho
face Of the bond or In the enabling Act OF the
Legislature
II . right exists in the bondho,der to de-
msnd interest after the expiration OF the time
during which, by the provisions of the Act,
such bonds are expressly made interest bear
ing, such right must be Enthusiastically guarap-
teed by the provisions OF the Act under which
they were issued.
In conclusion, therefore. We say thst no pro.
vision was made In the Act in question for the
payment Of interest after January 1, 1853. at
which time the principal OF such bonds be.
came due, and no interest accrued subsequent
to that time. and II follows that upon January
1, 1888, such bonds ceased to be interest
bearing. Respectfully yours.

THE rUTURE OF rHE INDIANS.

Gen. j. D. G. Atkins, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, in his annual report
says: sit requires ne seer to foretell or
foresee the civilization of the Indian race
as a result naturally deducible from a
knowledge and practice upon their part
of the art of agriculture; for the history
OF agriculture among all people and in all
countries intimately connects it with the
highest intellectual and moral develop.
ment of man.
"The increased interest in agriculture
manifested since the opening OF last
Spring, and the preparations on several
reservations for still larger increase Of
acreage in farming, are among the hope.
ful signs of Indian progress and develop
ment. This brings me directly to the
consideration of the practical policy
which / believe should be adopted by
Congress and the Government in the
management of the Indians. 1t should
be industriously and gravely impressed
upon them that they must abandon their
tribal relations and take lands in sever.
atty, as the corner stone of their com.
plete success in agriculture, which means
self-support, personal independence. and
material thrift. The Government should,
however, in order to protect them, retain
the right to their lands in trust for
twenty-five years or longer, but issue
trust patents at once to such Indians as
have taken individual holdings.
"When the Indians have taken their
lands in severalty in sufficient quantities
land the number of acres in each holding
may and should vary in different local..
ties according to fertility, productiveness,
climate, and other advantagesl then,
having due regard to the immediate and
early future needs OF the Indians, the
remaining lands of their reservations
should be purchased by the Government
and opened to homestead entry at so or
rs cents per acre. The money paid by
the Government for their lands should be
held in trust in five per cent bonds, to be
invested as Congress may provide for the
education, civilization, and material de-
velopment and advance of the red race,
reserving for each tribe its own money.
If this policy were adopted systematically
by the Government, it would be strange
if in five years from its Inauguration and
establishment there should be an Indian
Of any tribe in the whole country who
would refuse to accept 80 favorable and
advantageous a measure.
Every step taken, every move made,
every suggestion offered, everything done
with reference to the Indians should be
with a view of impressing upon them
that this is the policy which has been
permanently decided upon by the Gov.
eminent in reference to their manage
ment. They must abandon tribal rela.
tions, they must give up their supersti-
tions, they must forsake their savage
habits and learn the arts of civilization,
they must learn to labor, and learn to
rear their families as white people do,
and to know more Of their obligations to
the Government and to society. In a
word, they must learn to work for a liv-
ing, and they must understand that it is
heir interest and duty to send their
children to school.
"When the farm and the school have
become familiar institutions among the
