It's principal advice Is to take the people

interview. published in a Southern paper,
with Lawrence Barrett, describing his re-
cent visit to the President: Il spent q day
with him a short time ago, when / was in
Washington, and really he presents a pathet-
ic picture. A strong man fighting alone the
great battle to which he is pledged. Ridi-
culed by his enemies and doubted by his
friends, he feels his position keenly. He
said to me: Il have made mistakes. l
see them. many Of them, and could kick
myself when l think about them, but l am
only human aud as liable to err as other
men. / get 10 generous sympathy and
honest. patriotic counsel, and all l hear is

scheming politicians who have no other
aim than to get themselves and friends in

port OF the COMMISSIONS for the last year
shows that there has been a decrease since
the previous year of nearly 5000. For in

cording to the Commissioner report in

II there could be made an actual u Of
the Indians, the numbers would be much
less. We succeeded in counting the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians recently.
and found that they numbered 1000 less
than the estimates made by thel lodges.
The Indians are superstitious about being
counted, and besides they make more
rations when a family Of three get sup
plies for q family of five. An attempt
to force an actual census would prob
ably result in q war, and as the same
result is being gradually attained the
authorities have never tried to compel the
taking of the census. There are the
Sioux Indians, for example. They have
never been counted. and it is probable
that if an actual count was made their
latest numbers, as now reported. would be
reduced some 1000. The Indians, how
ever, are dying out very rapidly, and as
the tribes grow fewer in number the indi-
viduals became weal.hier, and in the
course of a few years the millionaires Of
the country will be found among the In
dian tribes. They now control large tracts
Of land, which are becoming more valua-

In the Treasury amounting altogether TO

Government, as shown in the Holman re-
port, appropriates large amounts for their
support yearly and provides schools for
their children. The Indians are being very
well treated just now"

William D. Bynum, Representative in

Silver pays the laborer for his work in
the field, in the mandatory, in the shop
and in the mine. 1t purchases his provis-
ions from the grocer. pays his rent and
clothes for his family. AS is we'll said, at

labor plenty of silver and it will furnish

driven out so long as the balance of trade
