Nv leaislation this winter affecting the
Indian question , ,,,.a
9To be frank, do not" nc replied
.eThere are several Important matters 20
come before congress, among Wiilch are
~ sr,er autstion, the tariff, bankruptcy
w s the nre.idential succession bills, and
Ssis eytremely doubtful If the ldlans viii

a,,o years chairman OF the United States
on.Ie committee on Indian affairs, and
800 n lively interest in the red men and
,Se,y condition. He loves TO talk about
them.
% far greater problem than
many neople imagine. We have for years
hcen going upon the principle that they
would. ike many of the animals found
More by Americas discoveries, gradually
hecomc extinct. The fact is, there are
more Indians in the United States to-day
than there were a hundred years ago. We
have IN our midst 100000 OF Them and
,hev are tramps almost to man. Contact
with the white man has done them no
Cood. They are as barbarous, as uncultl-
yated, as repulsive, as treacherous, as
law and AS dirty as their ancestors were
two hundred and fifty years ago. The In
u dian of the West shows no more disposi-
T lion "a work than did the Indian who
y stood idly by and saw our forefathers get
8 outof the Mayaower ON to Plymouth rock
Il nWhat shall we do with him
That is the question before congress and
4 Inc country. Every policy the govern
ment has heretofore tried has been dis
mai failure. 1t has been such partly be-
cause we did not understand the Indian
character and partly through the
yenality Of the men chosen to carry out
= the governments policy. We have eX-
pended S230,000 900 upon the Indian,
s and have to-day absolutely nothing to
showfor it.
aCan they be elevated? Some Of them
III can. There are now in the United States
# eight educational institutions for them,
& but graduates usually return to their
tribes and in them the leaven is soon
M lost 1t is an uphill task. Yet,
m we have the Indian with us
ri and must either blot HIM out or
M educate him As we cannot do

W In conversation to-day leading New
M York fnaucicr, who is noted for his con
seryatism assured me that 1t was his firm
lM belief that we were now upon the eve of
bull movement in stocks which would,
in sympathy, carry the general business
OF the country into solid and prosperous
Z lines once more. ON the course of my
! forty years experience, +" said he, ~ have
AN observed that financial depressions, like
\ most other more material things, move
= from East 10 West. The panic of 1875
= started IN Philadelphia in September and
! II was May OF the following year before
y the West felt it to any serious extent. The
present depression was first felt among
q me manuiacturcrs of New England They
weathered Il through as best they coulc
untls about March of last year, when they
9esan to ieel the revival. Stocks of man
Y laetufed goods on hand had become low
and more were needed.
