PROTECT THE INDIANS.
The President Asks for Protec-
Z ton for Indian ReServationa

The President Asks for Protec-
ton for Indian Reservations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The president
has sent to congress communication
from the secretary of the interior SUBJ
hitting the draft of bill s'to provide
for the protection of the Round Valley
Indian reservation" in California. The
president. in his message of transmittal,
SAYS: 1.-THE documents thus submitted
exhibit extensive and entirely unjustifi-
able encrOachmenrS upon lands set apart
for Indian occupancy, and disclose
disregard of Indian rights, long con-
tinued, that the government cannot
longer tempOrize with. without dis
honor. Efforts to diSlOdge treSpassers
upon these lands have in some cases
been resisted upon the ground that Ger
tain moneys due from the government
for improvements have not been paid.
So far this claim is well founded, and
the sum necessary to eXtinguiSh the
same should be at once appropriated and
paid. In other cases the position of
these intruderS is one of simple and
barefaced wrOngdoing, plainly question
ing the inclination of the government to
protect its dependent Indian wards and
it's ability to maintain itself in the guar
anty of such protection. These intrud-
ers should forthwith feel the weight of
the governments power. earnestly
commend the situation and the wrongs
of the Indians occupying the reservation
named to the early attention of con-
gress, and ask for the bill herewith
transmitted careful and prompt consid-
eratiOno is... .sts

The birds must know. Who wisely sings
Will sing as they;
The common air has generous wings,
Songs make their way.
No messenger to run before,
Devising plan
No mention of the place or hour
To any man;
No waiting till some sound betrays
A listening ear;
No different voice, no new delays,
If steps draw near.
'What bird is that? It's song is good"
And eager eyes
Go peering through the dusky wood
In glad surprise.
Then late at night, when by his fire
The traveller sits,
Watching the flames grow brighter, higher,
The sweet song fits
By snatches through his weary brain
To help him rest.
When next he goes that road again,
An empty nest
On leafless bough will make him sigh:
"Ah, me! Last spring
Just here heard, in passing by,
That rare bird songr'
But while he signs, remembering
How sweet the song.
The little bird on tireless wing
Is borne along
In other air. and other men,
With weary feet
On other roads, the simple strain
Are finding sweet.
The birds must know. Who wisely sings
Will sing as they;
The common air has generous wings,
Songs make their way.

The Business Failures of 1887.


Philadelphia Times.
The positive indication of business
thrift is the running of all industries to
their full capacity. The negative indi-s
cation OF the same condition is low
rate of business failures. Both of these
conditions have existed during the year
just closed.
The output of mines and manufactur-
ers, which has already been made pub
lie, shows that American production
never was so great as in 1887. A COM
parisOn of the business failures of the
year. with those of former years shows
likewise that business was in sounder
condition ,tlTan at any time since 1882.
The total number of failures for thes
year was $3.50, as against 10,56S in 1885,
11,116 in 1885, 1l,62O in 1884, and 1O,299
in 1888. This declinei business fail
ureS is particularly noticeable when
is considered that the total number Of
business firms. corporations and indiyid-s
uals listed by the commercial agenciesT
is over 100000, instead of 100000, the,
number with which the present decade
began.

That once walked with friends;
A pilgrim to the halls, alone
My hating steps ascendS.
I see the pine plumed hilltops rise
Around me as of yore;
Below the weir, cloud-shadowed, lies;
Above the blue lake of the skies;
The silent halls, before.
o Swallowed windows that see,
By pilgrim years endeared
Where oft dreamed, and fair to me
The futures light appeared;
Lawns, where used to sport and play
With classmates seen no more.

To classroom Number -Four.
Where are they now, where are they now,
The friends who gathered there,
And oft, with faith-illumined brow,
Spoke of the future fair?
Where are the ardent hands that met
Each evening at the door?
My life is green in memory yet,
But never can my heart forget

One sleeps beside the mobile seas,
Where his young life began:
And one beneath yon crimsoned trees,
Who died for Aracan
Kind Nature spreads the grass and fern
The graves of others DER;
The Handicapped leaves above them burn,
Their feet, alas! will ne'er return
To classroom Number Four.
We toll and SOW, but only gain
The harvestS of our prayers;
Our hopes in God alone remain
OF ali our anxious cares.

The all of learning's store,

The light is low, the sunsets glow
Scarce hides the evening star,
And winds through dreamy shades below

Afar the voice of duty calls,
AS sombre night around me falls

One of the worst deeds Nusr-ed-DeeI.
has been guilty of is the assassination
OF Shahzadeh Yussuf, an Afghan prince
and pretender, who had sought refuge
at the shah's court during the wars with
his native country. The shah caused
him to be stabbed to death by one of his
body servants while taking the air i'm
the garden behind his palace. The
murder was done so close by that the
shah even heard the victim scream and
call for aid. When the assassin. re-
ported the deed done, the shah cOOlly
said: "From what L heard l think the
young man must have passed
some uncomfortable moments" That
the shah can be cruel and Oe-
casionally unjust is also proved by the
fate that overlook sergeant who had,
during panic that had seized the Per-
sian army at the Seige of MeShed. raj.
he'd small force around him and had
led these against the TurcOmans. Iwhile
the generals ran away, and who had
thus snatched victory out of the laws OF
defeat. The man was afterward cruelty
mutllated and degraded, as having been
too forward and suspiciously rash. An
other soldier who, by similar deed of
bravery, had saved a whole Persian
camp from being slaughtered in their
sleep by the TurcOmans, was put to
death for like reason.
Just before the shah'S last visit TO
Eurape regiment whose native district
In MaZanderan had been greatly dam

mission to rebuild the houses and till
the fields because their wives and aged
parents could not manage the work I'M
aided. They set up the justice of their
claims IN petition, and gave this to a
man high in the favor of the shah, a
bride being, of course, paid him. Moth

day he went out to the shrine of Shah
Zadeh Abdul AZeem to pray for a safe
and prosperous journey. The shah, how
ever, did not stop to ascertain their
wants, but drove ON rapidly past chem.
In their grief and disappointment some
OF these soldiers threw pebbles after
the carriage, one of these SCATTERING a
pane in it. A few Splinters hit the face
of the monarch and cut him slightly.

men that could be found, were mutt
