Indian Paupers.

Last Wednesday, in the United States
House of Representatives, whilst the
Indian appropriation bill was under con-
sideration, Mr.. REAGAN, Of Texas,
made the following centre-shot:
Mr.. Chairman, simply rise to say
that it would be very interesting to me,
and ] have no doubt to the American
people generally, if somebody would
find out way by which the Indians,
like other people, could be made to work
for their living. We have millions ofpoor
people in the United States, many of
them quite as poor as these Indians,
but we do not appropriate money to
support them in idleness. to feed and
clothe them off the labor of other peo-
pie (; and it has always been curious
fact to me that we have gone on year
after year appropriating large sums of
money TO feed an idle, lazy, vagabond
set Of Indians, and have never been able
to find any way to put them to work
for their living. IApplause.l
II is one Of the most singular lines
Of policy that ever any Government
pursued, that which our Government
has pursued towards the Indians. For
. hundred years we have been "play-
ing" with them as children play at
"going to school," and other such
amusements. We make treaties with
the Indians, thus "playing that
they are not in this country.
We "play" that it is their
land and not ours which they
inhabit. We "play" that though
born in this country they are not citi-
xens. We "play" that though on
lands we have either given or sold them,
and over which the Government claims
eminent domain, they are not subject
70 the jurisdiction Of the United States.
It is wonderful survival. 1t reminds
us Of the keeper Of the crypt under the
Cspitola at Washington whose name BEN.
BUTLER discovered had been put regu-
larry into an appropriation bill every
year for scores and scores OF years after
his duties had ceased.

saying in other words that revenue
ssri!I and a high tariff arc ono and the
same thing. This conclusion cannot be
escaped II The premises DO conceded.
The United States Government did not
derive half as much revenue from whis-
key when the tax was two dollars q
gallon as il derives now when the tax
upon that article is not half so high.
Why? Simply because the tax was too
high. II was not revenue tax at all.
The honest distillers had to quit ma
king whiskcy and the dishonest ones re-
fused to pay the high tax, or any tax at
all, upon the whiskcy they made. The
Governments receipts from the tax on
whiskey in 1865, at two dollars a gal
ion, amounted to less than nineteen mil
lions Of dollars. In 1884 the Govern
ment received scventy-six millions Of
dollars from the present comparatively
low tax on whiskey. So it would be as
to very high customs duties. They
would either drive honest importers out
of the business, and the dishonest inn
porters would still import the goods but
refuse to pay the duties, or else the
high duties would operate to keep the
articles out Of this country altogether.

"A Sensational story Exploded.

A Rochesterspecial says w. c. Crum
is prominent citizen Of Tampa, Fla,
and is now on brief visit to this city,
where he formerly lived and was editor
and proprietor Of the Express. He
denies the rumor of an organized assas-
sination society in Florida, and declares
the story wholly sensational. Details
of the murder of c. Z. Able were fully
published in the Tampa papers. Mr..
Crum says there is no such physician in
Tampa as DIR. Hayden, the alleged
founder Of the Society. He further
states that, in his opinion, the story was
started by land-speculators and real es-
tate agents on the st. John river to
deter travellers and land-buyers from
going to Tampa and other places in
South Florida,

In his lecture of Friday night Pro-
fessor PROCTOR assumed, we think,
that the nebular hypothesis Of LA
PLACE is true--that is. is the best
working theory. Professor PROCTOR
wrote the article on that subject which
appears in the last edition of APPLE
TONS Cyclopedia. In that article he
says:
1T is not improbable, as remarked
in the article Meteor, that the study of
comeiic and meteoric astronomy may
before long throw considerable light on
the interesting question of the evolu-
ton of our solar system, and may ena-
bic us to form a nebular hypothesis on
safer grounds than those on which the
theories now in vogue have been
based"
A lecture from the distinguished as
tronomer on the general subject Of the
evolution Of the solar system and the
origin of planets and suns and systems
would be highly interesting. He is SO
full Of knowledge concerning bis spe-
cialty that it seems to be no greater la
Dor for him TO interest and instruct an
audience than it would be for another
man to recite the multiplication-table.

The Conrier-Jo,rnal SAWS !:

Inc Cohrter-Joarndt says:
" Draw, for example, line halfway
between actual prohibition and abso-
lutte free trade. On either hand, to a
certain point, All increasing revenue may
be expected; though the Whole course
Of our experience since the war has
been on the side Of increased revenue
- the result Of higher duties, and sics

II Mr.. WATTERsoN will study that
proposition, which we give in his own
words, he will sec that it is in effect the
same proposition which we have so
often Enthusiastically, that to reduce
the tariff might be to increase the reve-
nues Of the Government, and, converse
y, that to raise the tariff might be to
reduce the revenues Of the Government.
II follows that TO abolish all internal
taxes might result in lowering the tariff

Snow commenced falling yesterday
about 1 O'Clock and continued coming

Drs. Walker, Robinson, Cole, and
Uaryic held an interview with the ooun-
Gil Yesterday evening, and such action
was taken as the law requires Tor the
establishment of sewerage. The plan
at present preferred is that the princi-

CITY Engineer Ballou recommends TINS
plan. These physicians did not deal at
all on the sensational, but they were,
on the contrary, very measured ana
sometimes quite humorous IN their ex-
pressions. and yet evidently very de-
cided in their convictions.
A resolution was adopted IN the
aboye-named session Of the Council re-
ouiring the Committee on Gas and

gas cannot be furnished at cheaper rates.

was fight between S. 7. Hill and W.

which Lewis commonly called Craw-
ford Lewis was shot. On the 10Th OF
September Lewis died. II was reported
then that "too much whiskey" was
the cause of the fight. Hill was ar
rested and held for trial, and was after
wards admitted to bail in the sum OF

ness of the amount what was thought
of the case. In the January term
of the Hastings Court Of the county
Hill was tried and acquitted, On the
ground that he shot Lewis in self
defence. The parties were at Ricevillc
the day before the fight, and were then
drinking. The next day they met
again, and a fight ensuing, which, it
appeared, Hill wished to avoid by go
ing off into another room, Lewis pushed
