THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

The Indian problem, which, with the
Mormon problem, occupies the attention
OF the Government, obtains for its solu-
ton special department within the juris-
dction Of the Secretary OF the Interior.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Mr..
Atkins, in his report to the Secretary OF
the Interior, agrees with the President,
that change is absolutely necessary in
the management of the Indians, in view
OF the rapid transition among the more
civilized red men from tribal organiza-
tons to citizenship. Outside the Indian
Territory, containing over 100000 900
acres of fertile land, the Indian reserva-
tons are included within the limits OF
States and organized Territories In
the rapid settlement OF the public do
main, the Indian hunting-grounds are
growing more and more circumscribed.
Allotments of land to individuals and
families, with such assistance from the
| Government as will enable them to make
a permanent home and to become re-
sponsible as citizens to the laws, with Il
right to look for protection to the Gov
eminent, has become necessity. APP
preparations for the education OF Indian
children have furnished facilities for an
average attendance OF nearly 10000
children upon the schools during the
past year.
Under the treaties by which the In
dian Territory was set apart for the use
OF Indians exclusively, subject to tribal
authority, abuses have grown up which
require correction on the part OF the
Government. Land monopoly, in con-
necton with the energetic and grasping
few in the Indian communities, rs among
the whites, has already seized upon the
more desirable and fertile locations, and
farms of 1000 acres each have been
fenced in, with assumed rights to ad-
joining territory to the extent OF quar-
ter of n mile on each side OF the fenced
premises, laying the foundation OF future
great estates in few hands. These are
stolen out OF reserved lands which belong
in equal, undivided interest TO every per
son in the tribe.
As we understand the Commissioner
he would sell large portion OF the Indian
Territory to the whites for settlement and
cultivation, creating permanent fund OF
the purchase money for the exclusive Use
| of the Indians, Then he would allot tC
each person given area OF the balance
of the land for cultivation and home
and secure TO each protection as either
OF the United States, holding every sucl
citizen responsible to the law.
The Indian policy recommended by
the President and Commissioner Atkins
appeals 70 the good sense and judgment
OF the American people.

SALT LAKE CITY.

No city OF its size in the United States
is as well advertised as Salt Lake. But
it is not in connection with its peculiar
relation as the centre-stake of church,
50 much as on her central position as the
metropolis OF wonderfully rich Territory
which stretches from the British posses
sons on the north to the boundaries OF
Mexico on the south, that her future pos
sibilies depend.
Commencing with the foothills at her
doors, we find exhaustless stores OF
crude material for the manufacture
of glass, porcelain and stoneware,
iron castings, fire and common brick, pig
ments for variety OF paints, fuxlng
material for multiplying shelters in the
suburbs OF the city, lime, cement and
building stone OF the finest kind and OF
every variety, and we may safely
predict for her a glorious future as a
manufacturing city. Ascending the
mountains which guard her eastern and
western TANKS, busy mining camps and
great mines (the Ontario among the mum.
ber,) are found, whose tribute OF precious
metals help to keep alive the continuous
fires Of numerous shelters in the valley,
and to feed the tireless stamps OF great
quartz mills ut the mines. This adioin-
ing tributary territory is not half pros
pected.
Extending north and south to the
limits named, rich mining districts touch
each other, and with railway facilities
are tributary to Salt Lake, the greatest
ore market on the Pacific Slope. Vast
coal fields, only partially worked, lie
ready for development on the east and
south OF the city, and mountains OF the
finest hematte and magnetic iron remain
scarcely touched in the southern portion
OF the Territory. Deposits OF sulphur
gypsum, alabaster and salt in exhaust
less quantities are mt hand. The fertile
valleys, fed and irrigated by numerous
mountain streams, TEEN with agricultural
products and with the finest OF fruits
NibN WIN lllict
continental railway lines with branches
OF narrow-gauge railroads running up
the magnificent canyons to the producing
mines and mountain retreats, from 70OC
to 5000 feet above the level of the sea
Local railroads, starting from the city
are pushing their way East, West ant
South to the mining ranges as yet un
touched by railway lines. Immense
herding grounds are being covered with
horses, sheep and cattle which thrive
wonderfully on the rich bunch grass
and pure water of the foothills
and lower mountain ranges o
Utah and adjoining Territories. Tn,
finest bathing places and mineral springs
in the world are found here, and over all
bends the cloudless sky of Italy, while
the mountain scenery rivals that o
Switzerland.
With all these advantages at her COM
mand, Salt Lake invites to Il beautifu
home and grand field of development
the workingman, the capitalist and the
invalid.

Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1886-02-19

THE better citizens of Vicksburg
are generous and patient to a fault.
They have endured the evils of cur
rupt local government, and although
they know they were robbed by those
who ought to have protected and
guarded their interests, they patiently
pay the interest on the debts made by
scoundrels. Although they have been
recently outraged by men being put in
office, that ought not to be there, they
accept the result, and only insist, that
those who vote in city elections in
future, shall pay a small mite to sup
port the Municipal Government, and
pay it sixty days before an election, so
that there may be some little preventive
of the corruption and bribery that
have prevailed. 1t is well known that
we believe in a more effectual remedy,
but as other good citizens wish this one
tested first, We hope the charter will
be promptly amended to that extent at
least.
Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1886-02-19

have received little encouragement.
They inform US there is very little
hope of the needed modification Of the
laws. One proposes some sort of a
compromise scheme, and both say the
State is hamptred by not being in a
condition to return the deposits made
by the insurance companies doing bus
mess in the State. There is enough
plausible talk about the matter, but it
seems quite probable the monopoly
will continue, unless the people let
their Representatives know they
insist upon Stree insurance" no
matter what obstacles have
to be removed. There is no reason to
believe the State will be more able to
return the deposits two years hence
than it is now, and that is a himsy *
cuse and humiliating to the citiz ms.
Let the State return these deposits even
if it has to issue its bonds, and
give the people at least a fair show
with corporations, who have shown
they are up to every device to wrap the
people in a labyrinth of clauses, pro-
visos, and ttchnicalities.
We warn our Representatives they
will misrepreSent most grossly their
entire constituency, If they do not use
their utmost endtaVors to secure rad
lcal change Of the insurance laws OF
this State, which are a disgrace to our
code and "a means OF plundering the
citizens.
And while the Legislature is about
the matter, the law should provide for
adjustments before losses are suS-
tanned, aud not afterwards, as
Is now the case. The present
law, nine times out OF tea,
gives the citizen a doubtful law suit
instead of his money. Give the peo-
pie a chance.

A PROPOSED HANCOCK FUND.

Gen. Hancock was the one great SOL
der of the war for the Union TO whom
no public or private gift had been made.
Congress had voted the thanks OF the
Republic for his illustrious services,
but never a dollar. 1t had never been
called upon to do so. The people had
offered tneir undylng gratitude for his
great work, but never III substantial
form. They had never been appealed
to with that object. 1t was through
10 lack OF a~1f-ctionate devotion, but
simply because no call was ever made.
Others OF our foremost heroes had
been the recipients Of lavish munit,
cence, but no movement was prompted
for Gen. Hancock.
He has now passed away, and the
circumstances which a chlvalrous
spirit concealed in his life come to
light through his death. In his own
household there would have been
there still discontinued silence; but
the friends who know the truth cannot
consent That a commanding duty shall
remain untulflled. The demands
upon Gen. Hancock through his posi-
ton were numerous and exacting, and
he responded to them with the gener-
GUS and Whole-souled spirit which dis
tinguished him. His own sensitive
nature and that OF his family would
shrink from making the facts known,
but comrades ana friends who are
aware that the sole dependence of the
Major Generals salary was exhausted
in deeds Of goodness have taken the
question into their own hands. Their
appeal tells the simple story, and needs
no emphasis.
The suggestion of fund 6tly sprang
from Philadelphia in whose suburbs
General Hancock was born and near
which he will be buried. MIR. Childs
who knew what the general public did
not know proposed 1t, and with char
acteriStic Ilberality promptly started
the movement with a subscription OF
$1,000. Mr.. Drexel shared III The sug-
g%estion, and accompanied the subsCrip-
zion with a like amount. We under
stand that it will be taken up in New
York in the same liberal spirit. The
statement made by General Fry carries
its own appeal, and we hope that it
may meet with a response which shall
be worthy Of General Hancock's in
estimable services and of The Republic
which he did so much to preserve
Philadelphia Press.
The South will join in this noble
purpose cheerfully. 1t there eVer was a
man who merited and received the ad-
miration of a whole people, that man
was Gen. Hancock. At a time when
The citizens Of the South did not know
whether they had any rights that any
were bound to respect, Gen. Hancock
wrote a few terse lines that thrilled
them with hope and gratitude. 1t will
be a pleasant duty for Southerners to
contribute to the fund for the relief of
those he loved.

THE INCREASE OF COTTON
MILLS IN THE SOUTH,

M1LLO IU Ill DOUI H.
The statistics show that, notwith-
standing the depressed condition of
trade and the suspension Of mills and
the reduction Of time in the North
and East, the growth of cotton facto-
ries at the South goes steadily on.
Ample water power and other facili-
ties, the rapid development of coal
fields, to say nothing Of the conven.
fence to cotton fields, are powerful fac
tors in removing to the South the fac
tories and capital that have made the
North and East populous and wealthy.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
E. II. Coats & Co., Of Philadelphia,
have determined to erect a ten thou
sand spindle yarn mill on the bank of
the Augusta canal, and have closed a
contract with the city Tor water power.
Work will be commenced on the
ground liz a few weeks and the ma
chinery will be brought out as soon as
the building is finished. The mill will
employ n hundred and fifty hands,
and will be in operation in six months.
Coats & Co. were attracted to Augusta
by the iue and cheap water power and
cheap skilled labor. This will make
the fifth yarn mill in the city. All Of
these doing well, even during the de-
preston in cotton goods.
The manifestation Of a lit
tie enterprise on the part
of Mississippians would result in like
benefits to our State. Georgia has no
better natural advantages than we
have and there is no reason why the
tide of industry should not set in our
way and establish itself within our
borders.
We lack the "git up" to use a
vulgar, yet very expressive phrase,
that our Georgia neighbors possess.
When we have more Of it, when we
offer the right sort Of inducement, and
encourage more heartily the building
of all kinds of factories, etc., we will
only wonder at ourselves that we had
SO long delayed in developing our
resources and advancing our interests.
