A Good Indian Agent.

agent to take charge Of the Cheyenne lndi.
ans, who ave been cnltivatin. farms on the
Tongue river in Montana, near Miles City,
ever since their surrendcrto Gen. Miles some
years ago.
Maj. Mclaughlin is one OF the most
practical and popular agents in the service.
In fact he is prc-eIninent. His administra-
ton OF the affairs OF the Fort Tottcn
Indian agency was the wiscst and fruitful
Of the best results of any agent in the In.
dian service. He did there what he has
since done at Standing Rock; taking II com
munity of lazy bucks and shiftless squaws,
who were n burden to the government,
and made them practically self-sup-
porting. The record OF the crop
year, both at Totten and Standing Rock,
show his pre-eminently practical work.
Thc Indians at each of these agencies are
almost seli-supporting. Their grain re.
ceipts make II splendid showing for their
practical training. In his efforts in behalf
OF his wards Maj. McInughlia has ever
been warmly supported by his wife whose
practical knowledge Of the needs OF the In
dams and her movable energy and indomi-
table energy have been an Invaluable adj
iunct to his work.

Denmark is almost in the throes OF

- EEstEA ALEHE.
Denmark is almost in the throes OF
revolution, from the attitude of the
King towards the popular branch OF
the legislature. There are signs Of an
open rupture between the King and
the people. Herr Berg, President Of
the Danish Folkething, and two other
members Of the Liberal majority,
have been sentenced to six months
Imprisonment for interfering with the
police at q political meeting.
Herr Berg is not only President of the
Folkething, or popular branch OF the
national Parliament, but is one OF
the two great leaders of the dominion
party. The Folkething may be de-
pended upon to push its fight against
the Crown with even greater virulence,
and may very easily precipitate the
anarchy which has long seemed to be
oyerhanging Denmark. The fight is
the fight Of the people against auto
Grassy, the common citizen against a
land-owning nobility; and in the long.
run3the people must win, as they have
already wonin Norway.

more was renppointed. His term expired
Oct. II. Who the man was who had the plum

lars by the first OF the year. 1t is the in
tention OF the directors to proceed at once
with the erection OF one wing. Work will
probably be begun on it within a
lew weeks and will be continued during the
winter. The plans under consideration
contemplate the expenditure OF $3.50, 600
on it. You can therefore imagine what an
will be when it completed. The directors
will divise ways and means for collecting OF
money, and will also appoint a committee
TO study up the university question
throughout the United States and in Eu.
rope and to make selections for the facul-
ty. The philosophical and theological de-
oartment Tor the higher education OF the
clergy will be first established. None
will be admitted to the privileges
OF the university except those who
have received diplomas from otherinstitu-
tons. Ours will be a university OF agrade
above anything that has yet been atempt-
ed in this country. Its course 0 fstudy will
compare with the post graduate courses OF
other higher educational institutions. We
shall have no trouble in filling our chairs.
The plan OF funding contemplates the en-
dowment OF each chair with 500, 900, the
interest on which is expected to provide
very handsome salaries. The faculty Of
philosophy and theology, OF course, will be
filled at once Those u law, science and
medicine will follow on as rapidly as pos.
sible, but it IS hardly possible that more
than one faculty will be added each year.
