thought shutting out the new ones to be in
culcated. Put them under the protection Of
the law and make them individually respon-
slble for their acts Treat them as individu-
ais, not as tribes Make them citizens as
soon as they can be fitted for it by educa-
ton. Let them acquire title to government
land in severalty and have the means of pro-
tecting their property. What use now for
an Indian to be industrious and acquire
property? He can be defrauded with impu-
nifty. He cannot collect a debt or recover
his stolen property by suit. He has
standing in any court
Until the Indian can be properly admitted
to full citizenship and the reservation system
wholly abandoned, some forms of law, soma
judicial system, simple to be sure and care
fully adapted to his requirements, should be
introduced into all reservations. Indians
having already taken government lands
should be granted their patents the same as
white men. Treaty stipulations should be
carried out promptly as to the payment of
money, and not allowed, as at present, to
drag along for months after due, while the
Indians starve to death by villages. We
ought not only to carry out our agreements
to support specified number of schools on
the reservations but grant such liberal ap
preparations will enable every Indian to
acquire the rudiments of education, and
we should compel all the children to attend

he may be to preserve his own rude and ia

modelled on our Judicial system, yet we must
teach him the immense advantages that will
flow to him from its protection and from his
rights as a citizen, before we can hope to ab-
sorb him as another and peaceable element
of our heterogeneous population. And do
not forget ''the historical fact that law has
always availed to settle and eivilize society"
As Bishop Hare, for many years a resident
and earnest worker among the Sioux, says,
''Wish well to the Indians may, and do
for them what will, the efforts of civil
agents, teachers, missionaries are, like the
struggles of drowning men, weighted with
lead so long as by absence of law Indian So

THE PULLMAN EXPERIMENT.

THE PULLMAN EXPERIMENT.
We have heard a great deal about the
beauties and advantages of the town of Pull
| man, the seat of the works of the palace cal
company of which Mr.. George M. Pullman is
president. Mr.. Richard T. Ely has beer
| taking look at the place for Harpers mag
| azine and the result of his observations is in
teresting and instructive.
The town is indeed a sight as rare as it is
delightful, says Mr.. Ely. ''What might
have been taken for a wealthy suburban
town is given up to busy workers, who lit
orally earn their bread in the sweat of their
brow" There are no drones, and "clergy-
men, officers of the company, and mechanics
live in adjoining dwellings," The place has
an ''all-pervading air of thrift and provi-
dence," and in the laborers' quarters not q
dilapidated doorstep nor broken window,
stuffed perhaps with old clothing, is to be
found" The houses, which are of brick,
are built in groups of two or more, and even
in blocks but each one has its architectural
peculiarities, and neatly trimmed lawns sep
arate the dwellings from the street. The
frontage of all the buildings extends along
1FO HllCo VI oo1lo t'dNCSA SGlccLS, e1uu tucIt
are fourteen miles of railroad track laid for
the use of those in the shops and the town.
Great care and expense have been expended
on scientific drainage and sewage system,
and water tower distributes through the
town a supply of water from Lake Michigan.
Among the public buildings pictur-
esque hotel, church, market house, and
arcade, containing the only shops in the
town, a library and a theater. The streets
are wide, well built. and wherever possible
parked. The cheapest tenement is supplied
with gas and water and with garbage outlets.
s'The housekeeper throws the garbage into a
specified receptacle, and has no more care of
it." There is a fine library, the gift of Mr..
Pullman, a handsome free school building,
and fire department. The town is remark
able for its healthfulness, the death rate
being only about one-half that of the nearest
town.
But though every prospect pleases in
Pullman, and the inhabitants are expected to
be very happy, there are drawbacks. They
must be happy in the way the company says
OF not at all. They cannot own their dwell
ings, for these all belong to the company.
which will not sell them. They have no
part in the municipal government and moth
ing to say in regard to it, for the company
controls everything with despotic hand.
''The power of Bismarck in Germany is ut
terly insignificant" says Mr.. Ely, "when
compared with the power of the ruling
thority of the Pullman Palace Car company
in Pullman" Every tenant holds his house
on lease which may be terminated on ten
days notice, and that no reason need be
given for the notice the lease expressly stip
ulates. The consequence is that people who
try this model community, and come under
the philanthropic despotism of Mr.. Pullman,
are usually very tired of it after a short res
idence. Human nature is such that men and
women want to be free, even if they would
be better provided with material things in a
state of slavery.

A Real Closing-out
Sale
results, of course, in CLOSING OUT re-
mainders of lots almost every day, SO that it
is rather difficult to manage the advertising
satisfactorily. We may announce in one
days papers that a certain lot of shirts and
drawers will be sold out at CSC, and some
one who delays coming till next day may
find all the drawers gone, or may find none
of his particular size of shirt left We can't
help it of course We are really CLOSING
OUT, and could not, even if we wished, re-
place the goods at the prices now taken
The moral of this is, you must come early
and come often.
Last week we reduced our
blankets as we thought for the last time
but on Saturday looking over the stock we
found that ia blankets had been going
faster than either the smaller or the larger
Sizes There were some big gaps in the
scale of prices; so, to fill these gaps and have
goods to sell at every price, we took some of
the already reduced 1874 blankets and put
them in at the III prices.
The largest remaining item in our ladies,
hosiery stock was lot of ribbed wool hose,
mostly black, but with few browns, blues
them is that we bought them quite recently
They are of grade that has been selling all
around at 6Oc and 62c-and we got chance
to buy a lot of them cheap enough to pay us 1
q ute a fair profit at SOC. That has been our |
price till Saturday last. Then we made |
them all 38c, SO now you get what was every
where only short time ago 6Oc stocking |
for Csc. At the time of writing there are all |
sizes, 8, 81, 8, 9115, but how long that may |
last we can't tell
Our cloak stock is getting all broken up.
You may come and not find the garment |
you want at any price, brt then if you do |
find it you will get it 80 very cheap that it is |
quite worth your while to try. It's no use
naming prices. We should probably be |
tempted to name one of the most reduced |
tems and of course that would likely be |
sold very soon, and people coming after it too |
late would be dissatisfied.
These silk curtains are a new thing with |
us, and we have done pretty well with them. |
The few that are left will be made cheaper |
this week to get them out. We have to keep |
things moving. The new patterns may not |
be a whit finer or prettier than these, which |
changing, and the old must go, if not at one
price, then at another.
The notices we gave last week about what |
we are doing in black silks brought quite a |
little extra trade to our silk counter. There |
will be more this week, as news of that kind
spreads among ladies'. Perhaps some of the
careful people who took their money out of
the savings bank may think it not bad
plan to put some of it into silk dress. The |
dresf won't pay them any interest, tits true, |
but then by buying it just at this particular |
time they will get it enough cheaper to make !
it good investment.

IF.
If on earth there was nothing but gladnesS,
In lifeS anthem not one strain of sadness,
No music set in minor key,
Do you think it would better be
For you and for me!
If the sunlight forever were shining,
No ray of its brightness declining,
No darkness permitted to fall,
Soft wrapping its mantle DER ALL
Giving us sleep, to be reborn
With hope renewed, another morn,
DoSt think it were best
And we would be blest?
If only mild Zephyrs were blowing,
No tempest of wind rain showing
Were ever on earth to descend,
Do you think it were better, my friend,
For us in the end:
If no labor was worthy the doing,
No object in life worth pursuing,
No pressure of trial or care
Was given mortalS to bear,
Think you our living here were blest?
Or ever could be,
For you and for me:
Nay, who would not suffer the losses,
Enduring such labors and crosses
AS count in the sum of our life,
For that which we gain in the strife
When trials are rife?
And who would not welcome cen sadness
That chastens and purities gladness:
Or darkness, brooding over night,
Making each morning doubly bright,
IL thus accepted what will be
This lower life to you and me.
