The Indian Question.
Detroit Free Press.

A tall and commanding looking In
dian from the Canada side having
big back load of door-mats on his
back, was tramping up Randolph
street yesterday when man in a sa-
loon beckoned him in. The red mans
face lighted up with 10-cents-apiece
smile" as be walked in. There were
three men present, and they seemed to
be in hilarious state.
''Sse here, old copper face, " said
one, as he shut and locked the door.
''I'm down on Injuns, first, last and
all the time. They shot an uncle of
mine, and I've sworn revenge. Maybe
you are ready to take the all fredest
licking a redskin ever gotl"
HUI replied the Indian IS he look

and roasted my grandmother" put in
the second white man. didn't care
particularly for the old lady, but its

I've got to have Injun blood I"
"Hup said the Indian as he seemed
to catch on.
"And l, F." put in the third man, ''am
down on Injuns in general way.
After these other two fellers have got
through with you l propose to walk
on the msngled remains. Let the
performance now beginp
1t begun. People who looked in at
the windows could see nothing. People
who got look through the open door
saw hats, doormats, saw-dust and
chairs lowering in the air, but not
very long. In about three minutes the
redman stalked forth somewhat hus-
trated and little bit way-worn, but
he had not lost drop of blood nor a
door-mat.
Inside the saloon all was peaceful
and serene. The man whose uncle
was shot was lying under the table /;
the one whose grandmother was shot
seemed trying awful hard to remem-
Der how the affair began, and the one
who went in on general principles
was looking out of two black eyes at
ruined nose.
"Hul" called the Indian as he was
ready to move on.
But no one hewed.

and the income would be near
ly 800, 900. In Arizona the principal
reservation is the White Mountain,
with the agency at San Carlos. II
embraces more than $500, 600 acres.
Considerable uncertainty exists as to
It's population, but it is probably
about 5000 IN the vicinity OF the
agency, and 1000 more who have re-
moved into the northern part and
are now engaged in farming and the
efforts TO make themselves self-sup-
porting. The latter would, howevar,
be entitled to all the benefits obtained.
by the agency Indians in any scheme
looking to the promotion of their
general prosperity. Carrying out the
proposals OF my report would leave a
balance of considerably over 1000, =
600 acres, worth according TO the
plan advocated, about $1,000 per
year. Considering collectively the
Indians of New Mexico ard Arizona,
we have reservations embracing 16,
100000 acres, inhabited by nearly
So, 600 people. The surplus land would
include about 13, 750, 900 acres, which
would yield, according to the elan
proposed nearly $640, 900, a sum great
est by 1850, 600 than that appropriat-
ed for the current year for the sup
pert of these Indians.
In the Indian territory, the Che
yenne and Arapahoe, the Kiowa and
Camanche, and the Wachita reserva-
tons embrace over 100000 acres :;
the population is about z, $50. The in
come from the surplus land would
come within $75, 900 of equalizing the
amount appropriated. Considering
all the Indians in this territory, we
have a total of nearly 80, 600, and an
extent of reservation of 81, 500,0 600
acres, which would produce an annual
income Of 81, 1888, 1888.
The Indian reservations of the
United States contain about 200,0
square miles. Their population is
about 260,0 Twenty-six thousand
square miles would locate each family
upon a half-section of land, leaving
surplus of about 10, 900 square miles,
which according to the plan | have
proposed, would produce annually $4,-
4S0,000 This amount exceeds by
about $500, 600 the entire sum appro-
priated for the payment of their annu-
ties and for their subsistence and civ
Dization. The policy advocated in my
report would be most advaRtsgeously
applied gradually, the general gov
ernment of the Indians being con-
tinued according to the methods now
in vogue or such Improvements of
them as time and experience may
suggest. The ultimate development
of the suggested policy would, SIS the
Indians advance IN civilization and
intelligence, result in the return to
them of the principal derived from
the sale of their land, which until such
measures were authorized by act of
congress, would be held as trust for
their benefit and lie income applied
to their support.

GEELEY'S WEAKNESS.
The Great EDITORS Experience at a
Constitutional Convention.

The following is a part of some in
teresting Renaissance published in
The Watertown, IN. " Times by the
veteran Benjamin Brockway, who
was employed in the Office of The New
York Tribune during Mr. Greeley's
editorship:
He had his weak points. He erred
in mis- judgment Of men. Himself
artless, ne gave mis- fellow beings
credit for possessing more virtue and
greater regard for principle than
they really possessed. He did not
know anything about playing tricks
himself, and was therefore off his
guard when approached by scamps,
and was an easy prey TO dead-beats
and swindlers.
Another Of his weaknesses was his
impotence. He thought the world
might be seformed in a day--in his
day. When a thing was to be done,
his idea was that IL should be done
this very day, and hour. ''The way
to resume is to resume, and the re
mark shows the manner in which his
mind acted. He was a failure in COZ
gress, and in our last constitutional
eonvention-mainly in consequence
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-01-21

of the great number OF slow coaches
and incompetents in those bodies. he
thought 160 tirst-class men Dug hit to
be able TO frame very fair constitu-
ton in from 80 TO so days, and he was
for commencing the session of the
convention at o'clock in the morn
ing and lsboring right on until the
work was finished. But he found him
self surrounded by one hundred and
more lawyers who were not in the
habit of getting up and at work at s
O'Clock in the morning. Not much.
They thought II or 10 better hour,
and that if the convent on completed
its labors in nine months or year it
would do pretty well. They were
getting IS per day and that was moe
than a majority of them could make
at home. The consequence was Mr..
Greeley became disguised and after
! the convention had been in session
three or four months he packed up
and left. And in this connection
good story is told, which | believe
has not been IN print.
There were three VIGOROUSLY long
winded takers in the convention
men who were always on their feet.
Now IT happened that one of these
windy members was addressing tie
convention when Greeley withdrew.
Well, he went away, and was absent
about a month, as | remember, when
happening to be passing through the
old Dutch capital, it occurred to him
he would look into the convention
and see what progress it was making.
As luck would have it the identical IL. .
dlvidual who was holding forth when
he left still held the floor. AS he
looked in he raised his hands in horror
and exclaimed.
Great God Hasn't that d-n fool
finished his speech YETI
Mr.. Greedy was in some respects
odd and peculiar, as most people are
who make their mark in the world.
But have had the impression that a
good many of his idiosyncrasies re-
suited from the fact that he was des-
titute of a home-of a wife to see
that his shirt collar was put on right
side up and his neck tie properly adj
justed. / know he was to some extent
careless-perhaps | should say indif-
ferent to his personal appearance; but
for that very reason he should have
had a companion TO care for him, to
see that his clothes were in proper
condition and put on as they should
have been; and if he had wife of
that stamp think he would
have escaped much of the talk about
his personal appearance.
Mr.. Greedy had his gloomy hours,
his seasons of dependency as well as
his cheerful ones. He had his ups
and downs, and the distance between
the two extremes was immeasuIeable.
When in an unhappy mood he was
simply wretched, an object of real
pity. The revolution in his feelings
after the battle of Bull Run was such
as TO send him to his coach sick,
where he remained several weeks,
threatened with softening of the brain.
The attack which ultimately carried
him off was similar in kind, but Of a
more violent type, while his physical
system, from long watching at the
bedside Of his dying wife, had become
so impaired that he sank under the
weight of his ills.
