THE pREsrDnNrs BAoKBoNn.
He Treats a Colorado Delegation 90
the UnvarnIshed Truth.

the Umvarnished Truth.
washington dispatch to Philadelphia Ledger.
The President is occasionally in the
habit of making some very plain and
pointed speeches to the delegations that
call upon him to urge the appointment Of
persons to Office. Several improper per-
sons have been appointed to office upon
the recommendations Of leading poll
hcinns, few of the persons SO appointed
having been of such unsavory character
that the President has been obliged TO
reconsider his action and cancel the ap-
pointments. II is unquestionably true
that the President desires to select reput-
able men for Office, but he must neces-
sarily depend upon the information fur
nished in this respect by those whose
positions entitle their recommendations
to consideration. Having discovered that
his confidence has been abused in
several instances, the President has
determined in the future to protect
himself against such deception by ignor-
ing all recommendations made by those
who have previously endorsed improper
persons. This salutary rule, if adhered
to, will at least make all persons who ex-
pect favorable action upon their recon-
| fitness of those presented for appoint
ment to Office. Recently Colorado man,
upon the recommendation of leading
Democratic politicians of TINT state was
appointed consul to port in Japan, but,
III consequence of an assault made by
him in the lobby of one of the hotels
upon distinguished officer of the navy,
the appointment was revoked.
Thursday delegation from Colorado
called at the White House to urge the
appointment of another Colorado man.
After making known their desires the
President reminded them that they had
already recommended two men for office,
one of whom turned out to be unworthy
and the other to have served term in the
penitentiary. "These men were APP
pointed" said the President Sat your
earnest solicitation. Now how can be-
lieve anything you Colorado Democrats
say?" This pointed rebuke seemed to
paralyze the Colorado men, aud thoy no
tired without attempting to answer the
Presidents inquiry.
In this connection il is worthy of notice
that the appointment of Meade to bt
postmaster of Copiah, Miss, which wai
made a few days ago, has been revoked
by the President. Meade is the man who
presided ut meeting held in Copial
Immediately following the murder o
Matthews, at which meeting the murde
WINS approved in formal resolutions, ant
notice was served upon the members o

An encouraging Report rfOfn semi
tor HnRnlls-An Indian state.
KANSAS OrrY, Mo-, May 29.-United
States Senator Ingalls, of Kansas has ar
rived here from the Indian Territory on
his way home in company with Senators
Dawes and Morgan, members of
the special committee appointed by
Congress to investigate the manner
in which the treaties made with
the Indians of the territory are being
complied with One question of special
interest TO the committee was the treat
ment of the freed negroes by their former
Indian masters.
"We found on investigation, /" said Sem
ator Ingalls,, ''that their rights are fully
respected and little class feeling exists
against them. The terms of the treaty,
as far as the negroes are concerned, are
certainly being fully lived up to-"
I'm what condition did you find the
Indians themselves ?"
1.-The very best possible. They are
prosperous, lnw-abiding and happy. There
is not single pauper in the nation and
many of the Indians on the other hand
are really wealthy.
"What do you think of the future of
the Indians ?n
81 think they will work out their own
| future if left to themselves. The Indians
of the territory are in favor of forming an
Indian state to be admitted as member
of the Union. They shy they would
willingly receive the Indians from Other
parts of the country and do all in then
power to help them along About the only
territory that is yet unoocupied is that OF
Oklahoma, which would be sufficient to
accommodate most of the Indians for q
distance. There is a mistaken idea in
regard to the amount of arabic land
owned by the Indians of the territory
If it were all divided amongst them
there would not be 100 acres to the man
There are vast timbered and
desert tracts it is true, but
they are of little value. l will

Indian tribes, and they consider this ter
ritory of vast Importance in connection
with the question of future Indian state.

Londoners claim, and the world seems

The fakir of Ava, so called, famous as
a performing necromancer some 20 years
ago, is now retired ut the age of 20. His
name is Isaac Hughes, and he got his
Oriental title from another Snowman, one
Marshall, who made much money by feats
of legerdemain, but drowned himself ON
account of family troubles. The duplicate
fakir has been explaining how he adver-
tised himself and achieved his tricks. On
one occasion he borrowed, at Nashville,
Tenn, the bonnet Of the widow Of james
X. Polk, who was in the audience, tore it
to pieces before her eyes, and then re-
turned it, whole, shooting it out of con-
jurer's gun. He had caused complete
copy of her bonnet to be made by mil
liner in town, after seeing the original in
the street one day, and had depended ON
her coming to his entertainment. That
cheat established his reputation in the
South. -...
