THINKS HE HAS BEEN UNFAIRLY CRIrI-
CISED.
The Senators who attended the Michigan club
banquet in Detroit, last Monday evening, called
upon Senator Jones, OF Florida, who has been
absent during the present session, and invited
him to return to Washington with them. He
replied that he was not yet ready to
return and did not see why he should hurry
back. He said that he had devoted himself
asslduously to his senatorial duties for ten
years and could not understand why he should
not now spend some time in relaxation and re-
creation without criticism; that other
Senators had frequently remained
away from the Senate Tor months at a time
without mourning criticism; that Senator Ed
munds once went away with his family; Don
Cameron went to Europe, and Sharon was
rarely everin the Senate; yet nobody criticised
them. Senator Jones admitted that he had
received Florida papers mning him
for his absence, but he thought the criticisms
very unjust. 1t was reported to the Senators,
who interested themselves in the matter. that
Senator Jones had been offering attentions to a
lady OF Detroit, who had declined them. At
any rate he refused to return.

THE IMPROVED CONDITION OF THE INDIANS
Although the winter has been very severe,

has had but few requests to supply tOod and
clothing to destitute Indians. Congress has

with this exception the ordinary provisions
made for the Indians has proved sufficient
without recourse to the special relief which, as

Is attributed by the Indian authorities to the
greater attention which the Indians have given
to agriculture and the industries instead Of re-

A Testimonial to Mr.. Loyeioy.

The following letter, signed by teachers of the
first school division, has been addressed to Mr..
b. G. Lovejoy, who has resigned his place on
the school board as trustee of that division:
"Deor Sir: We, the undersigned teachers of
the first division of the Washington public
schools, learning with regret OF your res
ignation as local trustee, take this
opportunity to express our full appreciation of
the many services rendered by you not only in
advancing the standard Of true education
throughout the entire city, but also in defend
ing and supporting the cause of the teachers
on all occasions when questions invOlv-
ing their interests have arisen. We feel that
by yourwithdrawal we lose an able and efficient
teacher and pupil, one who has
been quick to perceive and encourage
merit, Just In his criticisms, and untiring in
his efforts to promote the interests OF the
schools. The loss Of your counsel and assistance
Is keenly felt by US all; and In conclusion we
earnestly hope that the day Is not far distant
when you may consistently assume similar OH
cial duties"
This letter has been signed by about seventy
teachers OF the first division.
