Can The Indians support Themselves.
Washington, March 25--There is q
disposition now to make inquiries into
the valne of the property OF the differ
ent Indian tribes, to SEQ il they are not
30 wealthy that, with proper manage
ment of their estates, these wards of the
nation can be supported out OF their
own means. In Mr.. Holman's report
there is given detailed account of one
reservation, whlcA, il it il at
all a fair sample, shows that
ut ia folly to spend public
money on the Indians because they
have property enough to live on very
handsomely. The Indians on the
DEVILS Laks reservation number, it
seems, 925. They possess 100000 acres
of land. They have besides this great
landed eatate, an ANIMAL money income
from the sale Of other lands of Sc, ,S77. Yet
the government gives them en- the top
of all this $4,000 for their support. $l2,-
Sl3 for schools, and pays besides $4495
for doctors, mechanics and tsamHtere,
laborers, police, harness makers, and 30
on.
There are members of congress who,
looking over this expenditure of over
$4,000 per anpum OF public money on
s25 Indiana who have already 100000
acres OF land, an independent income of
nearly 81 1000 a year, believe it necessary
to stop this waste for fear the whole

try IN these hard times will want to turn

Nature Is spering no pains this spring
in preparing the earth for seed time.
The old dame was never more lavish of
her fayors and whatever may be the
outcome OF farming operations this sea-
son, it will be long remarked that the
spring time was most propltious. The
small grain crops are IN this natural
way, guaranteed, end the farmer need
have little anxiety about them. Ii he
has planted barley and oats and fax,
and very small area IN wheat, he will
reap profitable harvest in July and
August. The indications are now that
barley will be in good demand; oats and
fax will be in prime demand, wheat
will be abundant and cheap,
the labor troubles here and abroad. nor
the Irish question, nor any of the specks
of war which may be discerned by tie
sangulnary mind, will affect the agr1cul-
tural Districts of the world, and
wheat will De an average crop which
will serve to maintain the surplus that
has existed to the detrinent Of good
prices for more than two years. There
fore it would be better to give to whea.
but small area OF ground. It is toe
saray to lay out the corn ground. There
is svery reason TO believe that this is tc
be good corn year. 1t is sure to be 6
year of mole than average prices foi
that staple and also for oats, because
immigration is sure to be heavy, bring
ing to every locality more or less con
sumers who are not producers, and wht
| must buy for cash. Abundant crops ant
high prices are not only what every in
dustrious farmer deserves, but they in
sure general prosperity. Therefore th
favorable opening of the spring sea
season upon the agricultural industry o
Dakota gives good reason 10 hope for
| prOsparOuB year.

was satisfied that such meeting would
not accomplish the purpose, hs may
have been justified in declining, but it

TO the business interests of the whole

aid in any proper way in hls power to
bring about an amicable adjustment of

Senator Ingalls,, in the conrss of his
remarks on the Edmnnds resolutions,
made many strong points against the
sham which Cleveland has been pursu-
ing in the name of reform. We give
brief paragraph from his speech:
"If when he (Clevelandl was inaugu-
rated he had determined that the func-
tions of the government should be ak
ercised by men OF his own party the ma
| ton would have been content, and here
on was founded the justification that
| the majority of the senate could use in
demanding that no action should be
taken in connection with these proposed
removals from Office until there had been
satisfactory assurance that injustice had
not been done. Ii it were understood
that these removals were madc for po-
| litical reasons, the country would be
content; the republican majority in the
senate would be content. The presi-
dent had declared that there should be
no changes in Offices where the lncum-
4 bents were competent for political rea-
sons, but they should be permitted to
serve their term. Like these that were
grinding at the mill, one had been taken
and another left. Some republicans
