For long time we steadily refused to pub.
fish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means of disposing of their worth
less preparations.
That this view of the case is to certain ex,
tent true there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona fide testimonials, and determined to use
advertisements a few of the many hun.
dreds of unsolicited certificates in our posses.
sion.
In doing this, we published them as nearly as
possible in the exact language used by our cor.
respondents, only changing the phraseology, in
some cases, so as TO compress them into a
smaller space than they would otherwise
occupy, but without in the least exaggeratine
or destroying the meaning of the writer's

MINNESOTA INDIANS.

The Indian Commission, composed OF Blsn-
OPP Whipple, Major Charles F. Larrabee, for
merly of this city, and Judge John Y. Wright,
authorized by Congress to negotiate with the
Indian tribes of Northern Minnesota for the
disposal of part of their reservation, and
the consolidation of the tribes ON the White
Earth reservation, has about concluded its
labors. Negotiations were had with all the
tribes and treaty was signed providing for
the consolidation of all of them on the.White
Earth reservation. There was very little OPP
position on the part of the Indians, though
determined effort was made by men inter
ested in the sale of whiskey to the red men
to prejudice them against the commission,
their theory being that the Indians could be
more easily swindled when off the reserya-
lions and open to the advances of the whites.
Reports brought back by the commission indi-
cate good deal of thrift on the part of some OF
| the Indians of that region. They have raised
| during the year over 10000 bushels OF wheat,
and other cereals and vegetables in proper
| ton. One woman sixty years of age, Guilt
| waited seven acres of corn entirely by her
| self, living alone in a little wigwam. The
| Chippewas on the Luck Lake reserva-
| ton have picked and sold during the year,
| $4,000 worth of blueberries, but it is a mel
ancholy fact that large portion of it went
| for whiskey. As a rule the small bands
| which were off their reservations were
found in deplorable state, due largely to
| the demoralizing influence of the white men
| who sold them whskey. In some instances
| they have been so entirely robbed of the
means of support that they would eat the
dead bodies of deceased horses. The men of
the Sandy Lake and White Oak branches OF
the Chippewas were seemingly lost to all
moral sense, while the women were made ar
ticles of merchandise. On the bank OF a
lake in the midst of pouring rain woman
of this tribe was found crying piteeusly.
Her husband had just sold one of their chill
dren, young girl not more than Is years of
age, to some lumbermen for sack of flour.
The sale had been made when the husband
| was drunk, made drunk probably by the lum-
bermen for this very purpose. The commits
sion say that this sale of whiskey to the
tribes and this traffic in girls will continue as
long as the Indians are scattered about as
they now are, and that the only effectual rem
edy is to bring them together on a reservation
where the government can care for them and
protect them The Commission has per.
formed it works with great ability and tact
and the treaties will undoubtedly be ratified
| by Congress-

The position taken by the band of New
York Knights of Labor, who went to Rich
mond with the firm intention of champion
ing the rights of a colored brother in the
face Of all the white proprietors of hotels
and boarding houses in the city, is attracting
the serious attention of all the delegates to
the convention. Northern laborers, especi-
ally, cannot understand why sentiment
should prevail in Richmond sufficiently
strong to justify the exclusion of negroes
from hotels and other public places, and the
matter is likely to cause considerable discus
sion in the convention. AS for the New
York delegation, the negroes of Richmond
have taken them and their colored protege

While member of the House !of Represen-
tatiyes, in 1880, he voted against the bill re-
quiring corporations to pay their employees
once in two weeks; in 1881 he voted against
bill to regulate the hours of labor of wom-
en- and children in manufacturing establish
ments; and in 1882 he voted against reconsid-
ering the vote that defeated the bill provid-
ing for fortnightly payment of wages. In
the same year he opposed the bill requiring
towns and cities to furnish free text books
to children in the public schools. In 1885,
Mr.. Andrew, then in the Senate, still con-
tinued his hostility to the bill requiring fort
nightly payments. With two such candi-
dates yoked together, the Bay State Demo-
Gratis must keep their eyes open or their

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

The arbitrary action of the Pennsylvania
transportation companies in reducing the
output of coal and putting up the price is re-
ceiving the official attention of Gov Pattison
of that State. and it is to be hoped that
some way will be found to stop this sort of
business, which is Of annual recurrence, and
which inficts great loss especially upon poor
people, who cannot buy their coal before
they need it, and then only in small quanti-
ties. That the whole country should be at
the mercy of six unscrupulous companies in
the matter Of an article which is one of the

that the packers have chosen their time, and

show. as it could be shown, that Dakota ought not
to come in. She will come i'll If our opponents
carry the lower branch of Congress That fact
alone ought to make every Democrat go to the
polls.
In brief, the principal reason why the
Democrats oppose the admission of Dakota
is. not because the Territory is lacking in
population, wealth or prosperity, but be-
cause the majority of its people are Repub-
licans, and would elect Republicans to rep
resent them in the United States Senate

cratic party denies to the great western COM

The Administration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA
Republican member of Congress, dis
cussing the work of the administra-
ton thus far, said to-day: 1T is rot
very great figure which the new
administration is making before the
country. 1t came in with a flourish
of trumpets. The books we're to be
examined and the rascality of the
Republican party exposed to the
country. The result has been that
nothing has been found for which to
condemn the Republican party, and
instead of reforming the government
and inaugurating new methods OF ad-
lninistration the policy of the Repub-
lican party has been followed in ev-
cry essential feature. The most re
markable thing to be noticed, howev.
er, is the proposed investigation OF
Attorney General Garland. Instead
of finding something wrong in the
conduct of Republican administra
tons to condemn, we find the Demo
cratic House of Representatives fore
ed, in obedience to the demands o
the people of the country, to appoin
committee to investigate the con
duct of one of the chief officers o
the new Democratic government
and this too within less than a yea
after the advent of the administra
ton.
