A renewal of the fight of last winter
to reduce the rate of legal interest in
New Jersey to per cent. will bemade
at the next session of the legislature.
The friends of the measure point to
the fact that all classes of bonds lately
issued in the state draw but from 4 to
s per cent, and command a premium
at that. The borrowers of small
amounts (who really carry the great.
est portion of the interest burden)
think they should have the benefit of
whatever good there is in q 'legal
rate" and are demanding that it be
placed at the lowest point possible.
Financial institutions in the large
cities, which have it in their power to
fix the rate of interest on most of the
funds they invest, are recognizing that
the rate must be lowered.

lie:
Executive Mansion, Oct %, 1ss5.-For
nearly eight months large share Of the
time of the president has been devoted to
the hearing OF applications for cs1ice
and the determination Of appointments.
Much Of the time thus spent has un.
doubtedly subservcd the public good. Some
oil it has been sacrificed to the indulgence OF
pcoplein their natural insistancc upon use.
less Interviews and some Of it has been un.
just.iiably wasted. The public welfare and
due regard for the claims Of those whose
interests in the government are entirely dis.
connected with ofiiccholding impcratively
demand that in the future the time Of the
president should besdifferently occupied,

and reasonableness OF the following plan,

In those portions of the west, where
the people possess accurate knowledge
of Indians from personal observation,
he is not regarded as ali ideal being,
such as is found only in the pages Of
imaginative literature. Western peo-
pie are apt to smile at these represen-
tations, and sometimes wax indig-
nant, when they are denounced as his
oppressors. Referring to a late utter.
ance of a female Indian worshlpper,
the Troy Times says the time may
come when the redskln can be made
over into reputable citizen, but
it will not be through a process of
coddling such as most of the theorists
suggest. Conceding that the course of
our government toward the savages
has not been in all respects equitable,
the fact ought not to be left out OF
sight that the Indians as a class are
pretty tongh specimens of human na-
ture, vicious, lazy, threacherous and
cruel. The great bulk of them can
only be kept in subjection by the dis
play of force, and they have very lit
tie respect for any other method,
though crafty enough to make terms
which will assure them an easy living
and obviate the necessity of doing
something toward helping themselves.
No doubt, if the Indian can be re.
claimed We ought to try to reclaim
him, but would-be philanthropists
are altogether too prone to disregard
his true character and to overlook
the obstacles his own nature furnishes
to the consummation of such q pur.
nose.
