n early all of the comprehensive In
dian bills of the present session aim
to assign land in severalty, and to
empower the Government to buy the
surplus lands of the Indians at a
generous price and to invest the pro-
ceeas so that the various tribes will
have large annual income from
this source.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, re.
marked to the Senate a few DAYS
ago, that if the Secretary of the
Interior had been empowered to take
Indian boys and girls and put
them into manual labor schools
whether their psrents were willing
or not, those children would have
constituted hostages, aud would
have prevented further Indian wars.
He thought fifty Apache children
placed in such schools would save
the nation millions Of dollars.
Senator Logan took this occasion
to recall proposition of his own
made TO the Senate ten years ago,
saying if the Senate had agreed to
it, there would have been no Indian
wars after that time. His PROPOSE
ton then was that it be made
penal offense for any one to sell
gun or powder or bullets to an In
dian.

All theories of trade and taxation
that are based upon the supposition
that under free-trade policy we
could sell goods that we can not
now sell, or could get better prices
than we now get, are without any
support in common sense or fact
American goods are now sold in the
West Indies, in South America and
in Europe simply because the people
in these localities want them, on ac-
count of their prico, or quality, or
because they can not be bought of
anybody else. If the United States
should adopt the free-trade policy its
products would find a market for
exactly the same reasons. There is
no reciprocity, there are no consider
atoms of friendship, there is no ex-
change of favors or good offices in
the commercial relations of foreign
countries. With free trade or with
out it as a national financial policy
everybody buys where he can buy
what he wants for the lowest prices,
and he sells whatever he can get the
most for what he offers for sale

ON THE MAKE. ]"

We reprint from the New York
World, somewhat abbreviated, the
history Of the Pan Electric Telegraph
company.
1t is curious page of current his
tory. The company issued at the
beginning s5,OOo,oo0 in stock, and
the whole amount of money paid in
was four dollars and q halt, the fee
of the state department for using its
seal.
Subsequently 81 1915 were expend-
ed for patents, experiments, etc,
about one-fortieth of per cent. on
its stock, and this amount was paid
out of the bonus received from a
local company TO which the Pan
Electric sold a district right
Millions of the stock were dis
tributed TO prominent politicians,
among them notoriousIy Mr.. Gar
land, then an United States Senator
and now Acknowledgement. The
World says: "Senator Garland and
his associates WHO accepted partner
ship in this Electric Telephone com
pany must have done so with
the knowledge that they were ex-
pected to use their influence and
votes in the Senate and House Of
Representatives to promote the in
terests of the enterprise--with the
knowledge, in fact, that through ex-
ecutive or legislative influence their
stock might be made worth fortune
or be rendered wholly valueless."
Within eighteen months after ac-
cepting his stock, Mr.. Garland re.
allied $4,000 on his share of the
proceeds of sales of local rights.
1t is for this company that the law
department Of the United States is
now carrying on an expensive liti-
cation, the costs Of which are paid
out Of the public treasury. So use
full is it to corporation to have
"leading statesmen" among It's stock
holders.
The principal stockholders of the
Pan Electric company include:
One member Of Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet;
Two heads of bureaus at Wash
ington, appointed since Mr.. Cleye-
land took office, and one Of them
selected by Mr. Lamar;
Three United States Senators;
Three ex-congressmen;
Two prominent officials in the In
terror department, appointed by Mr..
Lamar, and
One ex-governor of Tennessee.
These stockholders are all Dem
ocrats, and for years past have been
clamoring for administrative re-
form" The connection of high
government officials with this scan
dalous jod is national disgrace

WASHING TON LETTER.


The week in Congress has been
an interesting one though not mark
ed by any important legislation.
Among its salient features were de
bates in the Senate on the admission
Of Dakota to Statehood, obituary
eloquence in both houses, and a
wrangle in the lower branch over
the DETACHMENT, of Monuments in
the Norfolk Navy Yard.
The Hendricks obituaries devel-
oped another orator in the Senate.
1t was the new Republican Senator
from Wisconsin, Mr. Spooner. He
is not at all prepossessing in APP
pearance, being undersized and in
significant looking, with angular
features, disheveled hair, and sallow
complexion. But he is fluent, easy,
and natural, and possesses in a
marked degree all that goes to make
up the modern orator. He made
his maiden effort in the Senate with
the hardest of all subjects, eulogy.
lie skilIfully threaded his way past
the pits Of platitude and exagger-
alton of ecomium, and he spoke
without embarrassment, dealing with
hiscommonplace theme in a common
sense way that charmed the entire
Senate
Half dozen other Senators paid
tributes to the late Vice-President,
several of whom eulogized him for
his partisanship as if it were virtue.
1t is quite entertaining to hear u. S.
Senators read funeral orations. On
political questions one knows pretty
much what each Senator will say,
and on the floor of the Senate one
hears repeated, though often in bad
English and with faulty elocution,
the same arguments that one has
read again and again in the papers.
But funeral Grafton is out of the
usual line. 1t is no easy transition
from finance, or internal improve
meuts, or the Electoral Count ques-
ton, 10 elegiac oratory. Some Sen
ators, powerful in debate, and ready
in repartce, appear flat and common
place in this unfamiliar role.
The Pan-Electric sensation CON
tinues to grow No publication has
been made for years which has at
tracted so much attention OF which
has created such wide spread COM
ment. And it is difficult to under
stand how the Telephone scandal
can pass away without compelling

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS says in
Harper's Weekly that "if the adj
ministration replaces a Republican
blatant in office by a Democratic
blatant cut of office, and a man of
exactly the same kind, the verdict of
the community affected will not be
favorable to the reform character of
the administration" Out here we
have instances where Republicans
who were not blatant in office, but
who were quite the reverse and
whose retention was asked for by
citizens Of both parties, who have
been replaced by Democrats blatant
out of office. 1t has taken Mr.. Cur
tis some months to get around to the
logic of the situation-that the re-
placing of an offensive partisan"
by an equally loud Democratic par
tisan is not reform.
