NUMBER OF DEsERTERs

from the army during the past year as
compared with the preceding years. The
per centage of dessrters in 1854 was 10,
in 1885 III, and during the past year
S3 On this subj ject the lieutenant general
says the great decrease since 1884 is due
undoubtedly to the improvement of the
administration and 90 beneficient legisi2-
tlon which provides for the honorable
retirement OF enlisted men after long and
faithful service. He suggests that law
be passed permitting the marking of con
victed deserters with India ink so that
they will be known when they present
themselves for re-enlistment.

THE INDIAN RESERVATIONS


of the United States contain about 200, ,o0O
square miles. and their population is
about 100000. Twenty-si1 thousand
square miles would locate each family up
on half q section of land. leaving sur
plus of about 10000 square miles, which.
according to the plan l have prepared,
would produce annually S4,4SO, 600.
This amount exceeds by about
S660,000 the entire sum appropriated
for the payment of their annuities
ana for their subsistence and civilization.
The policy advocated in my report would
be most advantageously applied annually,
the general government of the Indians
being continued according to the meth
DDS now in vogue, or such improve
ment of them as time and ex-
perience may suggest. The ultimate
Developments of the suggested policy
would as the Indians advance in civiliza-
ton and intelligence result in the return
to them of the principal derived from
the sale of their lands, which until such
measures were authorized by an act of
congress would be held in trust for their
benefit and the income applied to their
support.

That it is the daty of all to assist in nom

Then notice that statement. MIR. blaine
never saw Henry George" sure. No
more guilcless innocent living than Mr.
Blaine. lie WIS in one room and MIR,
George in another, and with Mr.. Steve
Elkius as speaking tube the famouse
Progressive Democracy" came into
being. The party pledged to levy
all taxes, even to that now
levied upon whisky, upon land. Tax
land for everything and tax nothing else
is the Blaine George platform. But the
people know this oily politician full well
and they know this country has no use
for him as president, nor will they be
caught by any of his trickery.
The othec part of Elkin's interview in
which the democrats could not re-elect
Cleveland at all aid that Randall is their
man is very natural. All the Blaines. FL
kinses, ShcrmGns and Logaus know that
the democrats cannot elect Cleveland.
Randall and Hill and Mcdonald and
Carlisle and anybody but Cleveland.
Not republican politician nor a repub-
lican party organ can be found who re-
CARDS Cleveland a strong man for the
democrats to nominate. These organs
and politicians should understand that
it is not necessary to please them in max
this nomination. The republican party
by the action of all its Elkinses, and all
the political strumpets, like the World
and Sun, it has employed, shows that it is
solidly of the sound opinion that
the only way il can beat Clevela to
beat his nomination.
