WASHINGTON.
Ingersoll-- The Indians---A Present
from the King of Samona.

. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who for
a number of years past has made
Washington his home, has sold his
fine residence in this city to Mr.. A.
b. McCreery, of Baltimore, Md, for
$4,000. The purchaser takes immedi-
ate possession, and the Colonel will
remove with his family to New York
city, where he will spend the winter.
He will be much missed by his pro-
fessional associates here, as will also
his wife and family by their large
circle of society friends.
General Sheridan, in his annual
report as General-in-Chief of the
Army, urges that lands be settled
upon the Indians, in severalty, three
hundred and twenty acres to each
family, and that the remaining lands
purchased by the Government, and
thesum derived from their sale placed
in United States bonds to support
them. He urges the concentration
of troops in garrisOns near the large
cities, as they can be supplied cheaper,
and may be readily moved rail to
points where they are needed.
The hearing of arguments in the
telephone case, which has been oc-
cupying the attention ofthe Secretary
of the Interior for some time past, has

when a full average Of corn has been
made. The acreage reached 10000

the largest in quantity ever made,
though perhaps more has been made

is 364 bushels per acre, and Ohio and

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Presidents Message---An Invita-
ton to Senators Getting
Ready for Congress.

w nat VIII the ITeSluenl recOln-
mend in his message? is the inquiry
ofevery thoughtful person who studies
the signs Of the times, here and
throughout the country.
The message is completed, and is
in the hands of the public printer.
The latter cuts thecopy up in takes"
and as each part is finished, the copy
and the type are returned to him,
and the type is dumped upon galley
on his desk. AS fast as a galley is
full, a proof is taken, and the proof
and type locked up in a safe to which
printer Rounds alone has the comfN
nation. Mr.. Rounds does all the
proof reading himself, and there is no
probability OF the message being
stolen and published before its time,
as was one of the messages of each of
thethreep previous Presidents, Arthur,
Grant and Hayes.
President Cleveland's message, it
is said, will be short and terse, unlike
the annual Presidential Communica-
lions Of the past.
Republican Senators have received
an invitation from the President
which is calculated to disarm those
who have been talking war on his
nominations. He has asked those
who intend to oppose the contirma-
ton of anyone who has been arpoin-
ted to Office during the recess of the
Senate, to call at the White House
and explain their reasons to him, be-
fore he sends nominations to the Sen
ate.
Those who refuse to meet Mr.
Cleveland in this way, will have nc
excuse for making factious opposi-
ton to his appointments. He says
his only desire is to serve the best in
terests of the country. If any one O
his appointees are unfit he wants t.
know it, and if objections are wei
founded he will not send their names
to the Senate. He will not recognize
political antagOnisms, but will inves
tigate charges, and will withhold tn,
names of any who are proved to b'
}. incompetent or morally disqualified
Since Speaker Carlisle has returned
to the City, there is marked in
crease in the arrivals of Members o
Congress. They have come in to tall
y with him about their places on tn
committees. Mr.. Carlisle has alread,
, begun to make up the committees
which he has right to do, his re
election as speaker being a foregOn
conclusion. He will devote his lei
. sure until the meeting of Congress t.
, this, and time will be saved by com
, mittees being ready to work at tn
beginning of the cession.
Then it is to be hoped that thet
weeks of the session prior to tn
vacation will be devoted to revisin
the House rules so as to facilitate leg
. islation. There is disposition anon
g members of the House of Represents
" tives to liberate that body from tn

Trade during the week, and for

Nothing doing in wheat. Corn is
so low that farmers are slow to part
with it at present prices. The crop
as a whole in the United States is
very large, and not much prospect
for an early advance. 30 to $50 is the
price at which Nashville dealers are

Dried fruit is very dull and lower.
Eggs are little weak and a frac-

Not q Clergyman affer All. ]

s. hA1Eiad, N, ", 8plll lI.'-Ihe Bap-
tist people in and around Mountain
Island, CASTOR county, are up in arms
against their pastor. For about o
year the Rev. Joseph Williams has
been supplying the church at this
place, and married most estimable
lady Of his congregation. He enlar-
ged the membership and greatly
increased the interest in religious
matters III that community. He then
declared that new, more commodi-
Gus and handsomer church must be
built. He then started on collection
tour through CASTOR, Lincoln and
Catawba counties, and gathered in
nearly $4,000. He then went to
Charlotte to have plans drawn for the
church nnd to deposit the money in
one of the banks, and expected to be
gone seven days. This period of
time lengthenel into fifteen DAYS,
without line or word to wife and
congregation. Amesscmger was then
sent to Charlotte, who returned with
the information that the Clergyman
was seen there on the same day that
he lett home and has not been seen
there since that day. An investiga-
ton established the facts that he is
not Reverend, that he forged tho
credentials as II minister, and that he
IS bigamist, having a living vile in
Georgia. OF coarse 10 money was
put i'll the bank. Warrants are out
for his arrest.

The theologian of the News seems to have
been a little off yesterday. He gives his un-
qualified Endorsement to the vagaries of Hen
ry Ward Beecher touching tho office and work
of clergymen. He says that the ''holy Office"
OF a clergyman is a misnomer, and that the
notion of his receiving a Divine call to his
work is just as applicable to a lawyer or black
smith OF brakeman. If this position be true,
then the Christian world has been woefully
deceived. 1t is not generally believed that
Christ came into this world to set up law of
fees and FORCES, or to qualify brakemen for
their work. But it is generally believed that
Christ came into the world to estab-
lish His church, and that He appointed
office-bearers in it, such as apostles and evan
CYCLISTS, and teachers who were commissioned
to preach His gospel, and He assured them
that in carrying on this "holy work" He would
be with them always. Of course this is not
Beecherism, but for that very reason it is
more likely to be in harmony with that stand
ard of truth which is accepted by the whole
Christian world. By the way, what does the
News mean by saying that a clergyman's
claim rests on the same basis precisely as that
of a hereditary. lord of menf

DISCUSSING the Oklahoma question. before
the boomers had concluded to submit to the
law and withdraw from the territory, the
New York Tribune says:
1.-THE truth is that both present and pros
pective Indian troubles grow out Of the at
tempt to maintain a bad and futile system.
The reservation plan belongs to that system.
On the one hand, there is a country rapidly
filling up with white settlers who need all the
fertile land for agriculture. On the other
band there is the fossilized theory upon which
vast areas of land are held for Indians who
have no use for them, and whose nomadic,
self-destruetive habits are fostered and pre-
served by the isolated and idle conditions
forced upon them. So long as these two sys-
TENS confront one another there must be
friction and probably collision. Settlement
demands all the lands not absolutely utilized
for tillage or stock-raising. The way to clear
ava all this tangle is to settle the whole
question of Indian land. ownership by making
the Indians citizens of the United States, and
giving them reasonable allotments of land in
severalty, while paying them for their sur
plus territory and throwing the latter open to
presumption and homestead entry"

in a notice of Senator Bailey's immoral and in.

AL " noeiCo VI 0euaVOF Dalloy 3 AulHlOral hLlu III
decent all-night saloon bill, says:
'fSenator Bailey IS a Democrat, but we trust
that the bill Itself is not a Democratic measure.
The present position of the party toward the
liquor traffic Is exceedingly liberal, as we'll as
equitable; then, pray, why go any further9
The present law is satisfactory to both liquor
dealers and manufacturers, and to q majority
Of the people, and we venture the prediction
that the better class of saloon men are not de.
sirous Of the repeal of these sections. Pro
portionately speaking, Michigan City has one
OF the largest German populations in Indiana,
and also maintains and supports some fifty sa-
looms. The Dispatch has taken the pains to
interview a large number of leading German
Americans, as well as saloon men, and in al
most every instance they expressed them
selves as opposed to the wiping out Of about
the only safeguard that yet remains in the
present liquor law"
AS the Journal has taken occasion to say
very often, the petty schemers who class all
Germans on the side of public immortality and
disorder will find that they nave reckoned
without their host. The great mass of Ger
mans are law-abiding, conservative and order
loving. Like other people, they are some
times led away by their prejudices; but they
will not always stay with those who seek
merely to use them.
