structor in agriculture) is not of the right
kind. He comes here and wants US war
riors TO work. What we want is Tor the
Great Father to send us white men to
plant our corn, hoe it, reap it and put ii in
the barns which they should build for US.
We are warriors, and don't work. Squaws

has number of reforms in Indian govern
ment to recommend. The general tenor of
them all will be to treat the Indians like
children and govern them accordingly; to
teach them to farm and earn their own liy-
ing, but in the meantime to care for them
whenever they are unable to do so them
selves.
Secretary Lamar's Order.
New YORK, September 1Sth-kiendn's
Eea0s Agency has dispatch stating that the
Interior Department has ordered the Union
and Central Pacific Railroads to suspend,
until further orders, the payment of any
subsidies whatever to the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, the Department
claiming that such payments are illegal, so
long as the debt of the roads mentioned to
the Government remains unpaid. Your
correspondent saw c. z. Huntington soon
after the news reached Wall street. He
said: Secretary Lamar cannot have given
any such order to the Union and Central
Pacific, as it is clearly outside of his au-
thOrity. The payment of subsidies to the
Pacific Mail is part of the operating de-
partment of these roads. If the Govern
ment assumes practical direction of the
traffic, it makes itself liable to the bond
holders for the payment of interest"
President Houston, of the Pacific Mail
Company, said to-day: This talk of dis
continuing the subsidy, as it has been er-
roneously termed, is nonsense. The fact
is we have no subsidy from any railway
All that exists is a pooling arrangement,
and this is for the best interests of all con-
cerned. This Washington business looks
TO me as if the authorities are working
against certain corporations, which they
would like to see placed in the hands of
receivers
OFFICIAL DENIAL.
New YORK, September I9th--A. MA
dispatch from Washington officially denies
that the Secretary of the Interior has taken

The Silver Discussion.
New YORK, September 18th - Henry
Clews said yesterday: The silver question
Is bug bear to the financial markets.
Public sentiment has set in so strongly and
decidedly against the continued coinage of
of single interest at the expense Of the
whole community, that it seems impossible
that our legislators should wholly disregard
this feeling"
Zimmerman, the bullion broker, said
" People on every hand are kicking against
the silver dollar. We are selling bills of
the denomination of 81 and 50 at pre-
MUM every day
The Sub-Treasury paid out 100000 in
