!Sendte-Among the bills introduced
in the senate was one by Sen. Sherman,
to discontinue the coinage of the silver
dollar and provide for the purchase of
silver bullion in barg-not less than
1000, 900 nor more than 4, 900, 900 ounces
per R1onth-at the market price, and
for the issue in pay ment thereof of coin
certificates C not less denomination
than $40 each, the bullion to remain in
the treasury as security for the pay.
ment of the certificates. The senate
went to the calendar and resumed con-
sideration of the bill to divide the
Sioux reservation IN Dakota into sep
aratc reservations, and to secure the
REIMBURSEMENT Of the Indian title to
the same. After debate, the bill, at 2
o'clock, was displaced by the bill pro-
viding for the admission of Dakota.

On the Monday morning Mrs. Westerfeld
and her faithful James had their first quarrel.
She took the liberty of reminding him that
it was time to give notice of the marriage at
the church, and to secure berths in the steam
er for herself and her son. Instead of an
sWer1ng one way or another James asked
how the expert was getting on.
HAS your old man found out where the
diamonds are?;'
Not yet"
"Then We'll wait till he does..''
do you believe my word?" Mrs. Wester-
field asked CURLY.
James Bellbridge answered, with Roman
brevity, No"
This was an insult; Mrs. Westerfield ex-
pressed her sense of it. She rose and pointed
to the door. GO back to America, as soon
as you please" she said; ''and find the money
you want-if you cam
AS proof that she was in earnest she took
her copy of the cipher out of the bosom of
her dress and threw it into the fire. 1.-THE
original is safe in my old mans keeping"
she added. Leave the room.'
James rose with suspicious dociIity and
walked out, having his own private ends in
view.
Half an hour later Mrs: Westerfeld's old
man was interrupted over his work by per-
son of bulky and blackguard appearance
whom he had never seen before
The stranger introduced himself as a gem
tleman who was engaged to marry Mrs.
Westerfeld; he requested mot at all politely
to be permitted to look at the cipher. He
was asked if he had brought written order
to that effect, signed by the lady herself. Mr..
Bellbridge, resting his fists on the writing
table, answered that he had come to look at
the cipher, on his own sole responsibility,
and that he insisted on seeing it Immediate
ly. ALLOW me to show you something else
first" was the reply he received to this as
sertion of his will and pleasure. DO you

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Operation OF the Latv--Some Recon-
mendatiOns.

The continued operation of the law relat-
ing to our civil service has added to the most
convincing proofs of its necessity and useful
ness. II is fact worthy of note that every
public officer who has just idea of his duty
TO the people, testifies TO the value of this re-
form. Its staunchest friends are found
among those who understand it best, and its
warmest supporters are those who are re-
strained and protected b. its requirements.
The meaning of such restraint and protection
is not appreciated by those VINO want places
under the government, regardless of merit
and efficiency. nor by those who insist that
the selection for such places should rest upon
a proper credental showing active partisan
work. 1t is exceedingly strange that the
scope and nature of this reform are so little
understood and that so many things
not included within its plan are
called by its name. When civil
service yields more fully TO examination. the
system will haze large additions to the num-
Der of its friends. Our civil service reform
NAV be imperfect in some of it details: it
may be misunderstood and opposed: it may
not always be faithfully applied; it's designs
may sometimes miscarry through mistake or
wilfIl intent; may sometimes tremble under
the assaults OF its enemies or languish under
the misguided zeal of impractiL able friends.
If the people of This great country ever SUBJ
NIT to the Punishment of its underlying prin-
ciple from the operation Of theic government,
they VIII abandon the Surest guarantee OF
the safety and success OF American instltu-
tionS. l invoke for this reform the careful
and ungrudging support of congress. re-
new my recommendation made last year that
the commissioners be made equal to the
officers OF the government having like re-
spon sibilitIes; and / hope that such reasona-
bic appropriations may be made as will ena-
bic them to increase the usefulness of the
cause they have charge Of.

and it is hoped that this. or some measure
which the wisdom of congress may better
devise, to supply the deficiency of the pres
ent system may receive your consideration
and the appropriate legislation he provided.
The time is ripe for the work of such an
agency. There is less opposition TO the edu-
cation and training of the Indian youth as
shown by the increased attendance upon the
schools. and there is a yielding tendency for
the individual holding of lands. Develop
ment and advancement in these directions are
essential. and should have every encourage
mont As the rising generations are taught
the language of civilization and trained in
habits of industry, they should assume the
duties, PRIVILEGES ang responsibilities OF citi-
Zenship. No obstacle should hinder the loca-
ton and settlement of any indian willing to
take land n sew rally. On the contrary, the
inclination to do SO should be estimated at all
times by proper eXpedents. But there is 40
authority Of law for making allotments on
some of the reservations. and on others the
aliOtments provided tor are so small that the
Indians. though ready and desiring TO settle
down, are not willing 10 accept such small
areas, when their reservations

to afford them hOmeSteads of sufficient size
to meet present and future needs. These
inequalities OF existing pecia laws and
treaties should be corrected, and some gen.
erai legislation on the subject snould be pro-
Vided. so that the more progressive men,
bers o. the different tribes may be settled
upon homeSteadS. and by their example teach
others TO follow, breaking away from tribal
customs and substituting therefor love of
home, interest of the family, and the rule of
the state. The Indian character and nature
are such that they are not easily led while
oroOding over unadjusted wrongs. This is
especially so regarding their lands. Matters
arising from the construction and operation
IF railroads across some of the reservations,
and claims of title and right of occupancy
set up by white persons to some of the best
and within o her reservations require legis-
alton for tneir final adjustment. The settle
ment of these matters will remove many
smbarrass ments to progress in the work OF
eading the Indians TO the adoption of our
Institutions, and bringing them under the
operation. the influence. and the protection
0f the universal laws of our country.

THE PATENT OFFICE.

Catching Up with ftS Work. IL -
ceipIS and Expenditures.
On the 4th of March. 1885, the current bust
ness OF the patent Office was on an average
five and half months behind. At the close
of the last fiscal ear such current work was
but three months in arrears, and it is asserted
and believed that III the next few months the
delay in obtaining an examination of an ap-
phcation for patent will be but nominal.
The number OF applications for patents dur
ing the last fiscal ear, including reissued de
signs. trade marks and labels, equals 40 65S,
which is considerably in excess of the number
received during the preceding year. The re-
ceipts or the pa;ent Office during the year
aggregates Sl,250, l67 so, bringing 10 the
treasury over and above all expenses about
Sl6.3I0.I7. The number of patents grained
during the last fiscal year. including reissues,
trade marks, designs and labels, was 25,6IS. q
number also quite in excess OF that of any
preceding year. The report of the comm S.
sioner shows the Office to be in a prosperous
condition and constantly increasing in its
business. No increase o. force is asked for.
The amount estimated for the fiscal year end
ing June 81, 1856. was $500, $50. The amount
estimated for the year ending June SO 1887,
was 1858 700. The amount estimated for
the fiscal year ending June 81, 1885, is
