II strikes us that there is one piece
of t%om-foolery that this government
should have done with. and that is,
going through the farce of making
treaties with the various tribes of In
dians to gain their consent to relin-
quish parts of their reservations. Ell
Their the land occupied by them is Il
part of the United States or it is not.
The folly of treating these nomads of
the plains as though they were indie
pendent nations should be abandoned
by the government. They are wards
of the nation and as such should be
made to understand that when their
guardian, in his superior wisdom, con.
siders it best for them to re%linquish
their claim to large areas of land,
which one tribe has no more right to
than any other and which none of
them have a greater right to than the
whites who W allegiance to the
United States, their whole duty
should be to do as they are told. The
government supports them in idleness,
and to crafty them in a purely senti.
mental claim, not based on any inhe,
rent right, allows vast tracts of the
finest land in the country to remain
unsettled and useless, for it is useless
even to the Indians themselves
for the game, which was
once necessary for their subsistence
does not exist in sufficient quantity
to support them. AS hegovernment
feeds them anyhow, it would not bt
necessary if the game was more plen
tiful. 1t is about time that the In
dams were taught that their status il
this country is that of an inferior ant
conquered race, and that they will M
longer be allowed to stand in the way
of progress and civilization.

ROME, June 3O.-It will be remem-
bered that rs a result of the requests
made to the pope by Cardinal Gibbons in
favor of the American industrial organi-
cation known rs the Knights of Labor,
the vatican gave a provisional under
standing to his eminence that the society
should not be condemned. Thereupon
the Canadian bishops opposed to
the organization requested the mat
ter be submitted to the congrega-
ton of the holy Office. This
was done, and that body has now consid
cred the matter, it's decision being a toll
crara posse; that is to say, it is permitted
to Catholics to form a part of the organ
ization. This decision will be commune
Gated to the American bishops by the
congregation of the propaganda. The
pope desires, however, that the brief of
the holy office should not be published.

tion.
P%1TTsBuRG, July 4.-The iron lockout
presents no new features. No more sig
natures were obtained by the Amalga-
mated people to their scale up to noon,
and there were no Indications of either
side giving in. The manufacturers say
that before they decided to resist the
workmen's scale they calculated that
certain firms would sign the scale, and
they look for ut least two more mills
to resume before the end Of the week.
The signing of the scale by these few
firms they claim, however. will have
no effect on the general situation,
as there are seventy-one firms in the
Western association who are determined
to resist the scale.
Carnegie & Co. IS Homestead mills have
signed the Amalgamatcd association
wage scale. 1t is authoritatively
stated this evening that tho Lin
den Steel and Iron company
at Soho and the Labelle steel
works, Allegheny City, will sign the
scale within u few hours. In the
mills whose proprietols have signed the
scale, $4,000 men are employed. 1t is
confidently expected that there will be
several other important breaks in the
manufacturers ranks within a very few

ST. PAUL, July "A young girl es-

entered it as a sewing girl about four
years ago. She had been kept there
ever since, and had neve received any
remuneration for her work. A woman
from the House soon put in an appear
