COMMUNICATIONS.

The Opening of the Crow-Creek Res.
 ervatfon.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 All those who were fortunate enough to hear the heart-stirring addresses of MT. Her bert Welsh during his recent visit in New Haven cannot fail to be interested in the fol lowing extract from a private letter to friends in this city:
 "We have all been in state of great ex- citement and indignation regarding the open ing of the Crow-Creek reservation to white settlement by executive order, the work of Secretary Teller just at the flag end of the last administration. His act is held by our law committee to have been ille- gal. We hold that this reservation was constituted such by the treaty of 1868, and not by executive order, and hence cannot be thrown into the public domain by such or der. The entire business is about as bad as bad can be. It was done in such secrecy that even the Indian commissioner knew absolutely nothing of it nor did anyone in Washington but the two or three who were interested in it. The blow fell like 8 thun- der clap upon the Indians, who were sur prised by the sudden intrusion of thousands of settlers upon their land. Who can foresee the ultimate consequences Dawes is profoundly indignant, as are all of us who are acquainted with the facts. Even if MT. Teller has technical right upon his side, which by our present light I believe that he has not, his act is equally shameful. The Yanctonnais Indians who occupy this reservation are among the most civilized and peaceful Indians that I know. The govern ment has. always treated them up on the supposition that they were incorporated with the other Sioux living on the west branch of the Missouri and holding their reservation by the same title. We have placed our briefs on the legal points of the question in Senator Dawes hands, by whom it is highly commended. MT. Janoonst goes to Wash ington tonight for further investigation, and so soon as our facts are all clear we will pre- sent memorial to MT. Cleveland and Mr. Lamar. The facts will, at the earliest possible moment, be sent in printed form to all the branches and their cooperation asked. We desire to give the whole matter the widest publicity. We pray for a suspen sion of the order until the question be fully examined. We have all been sick at heart through this infamous affair If our good people will not act when the question is placed before them in it's fullness, I shall utterly despair of the cause of the honor of the country"
 Can one stand quietly by and let such in iquity pass unchallenged? Is the Indian al ways to be thus treacherously dealt with, or will our people at last shake off their apa- thy and demand that justice shall be done both now and hereafter?

Rents the oo1ored People Pay.
NO. 61.

From the Freeman, (Colored Mems Paper)
 The colored people of New York city suf- fer more injustice in the matter of rental than any other class of our citizens They are not only forced to colonize in the worst sections of the city, and into the very worst tenements, but they are charged fabulous prices for the luxury of having a place to sleep and eat There are tenement houses. which are called flats, of the very best rent ed to colored people, of five stories, which rent for fifty dollars per floor. There are two apartments of four to six rooms and these so small that when bed is placed in one of them there is no room for any other furniture. The entire property is not worth ~more than twenty-five thousand dollars. Houses which nobody else will rent are palmed off on colored people at fabulous rental, who, in order to meet it, are forced to fill the house from bottom to garret with lodgers of every conceivable character who are able to pay rent The indiscriminate mixture could not do other than produce very harmful results. When rents grow too steep for the whites they remove to the su- burbs, but colored people seldom do this. Once in a city like New York they have horror of moving away They prefer the city. The landlords know this and pile on the rent. The colored people squeal but pay it-when they can. Several building associ- ations have been started of late years by col ored men to own and control property to be rented to the people at living rates, but they have not amounted to anything. Whya Be- cause the race is wanting in most marked degree in the qualities of cooperation; it has no confidence in itself; it prefers to be feeced year in and year out instead of con- bining and cooperating for mutual protec- tion and advantage. Necessity will yet com pei them to take this matter in hand The colored people of New York squander annu- ally more than fifty thousand dollars in balls, picnics and excursions. This money is abso- lutely thrown away, since even the pleasure it is supposed to purchase is oftener the poi son of death than the elixir of life. We should grow more thoughtful in these mat ters. The poverty of the race is standing protest and reproach that such extravagance should obtain. As long as we spend money as we now do, together with the other draw backs we have to contend against, we cannot hope for much amelioration of our hard con- ditiOn

 M. Berlier, a French engineer, has an in- teresting plan for system of pneumatic trans mission between Paris and London, involv- ing the employment of two tubes, one for sending and the other for receiving telegrams, letters and postal parcels weighing up to eleven pounds. The tirne taken in trans mission, according to this sanguine projector, would be but one hour, notwithstanding stoppages at any stations which might be es- abolished on the way. M. Berlier points out, pertinently enough, that transmission to Lyons or Marseilles could be effected still more easily than to London, there being no sea to cross. Letters and parcels sent from Paris to Marseillss would, it is said, reach that place in two hours.

 We want to do Tn this department five times as much business as in the past. .......
 We want to do some thing to make every la dy Tn New Haven think of our store the moment she thinks of white un- derwear.
 We want to spend some money on this thing. We know that If you begin to come to us you will con- tinue to come, chiefly on account of the quakIty 0f the qVork. There fore we believe 1t will ultimately pay us to spend some money in selling the goods too cheap for a while.
 But don't think we are selling goods too cheap now to make 1t up later by charging too much. You will never have to pay more for anything in our store than you can buy 1t tor elsewhere-if we know 1t.
 But this time we are going to make these goods so very cheap that you can't but be struck with 1t.
 And the work IS all good, honest, well-hn- ished work, no slop- work, such as ready made underwear used to be, and still Is in some places. The prejudice against ready-made gar ments Is largely due to the fact that the makers have hitherto aimed mainly at cheapness, or rather at low prices, than at excellence. Now we can offer garments so solidly made and so neatly finished that any lady may feel satisfied to see them among her tr0usseauX.
 Everything, you will find, IS cheaper than you would expect 1t to be /; and quite a number of things you will find so extraordinarily low in price that you will be puzzled to know how 1t can possibly be done.
