WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Knute Mel
son is making the most of his time
While remaining in politics. He to-
day reported from the committee on
Indian affairs his own bill introduced
on the 9th inst, granting right of way
through the White Earth Chippeway
reservation to the Moor head, Leech
Lake & Northern Railway company.
The most meritorious feature of the
report is the provision that the road
shall pay royalty of $50 per mile on
allroads built within the reservation
with an annual tax of $sl5 per mile as
long as the reservation exists. The
main. features Of the bill remain as
originally announced. St. Paul Globe.'
So far as we can learn the peo-
pie Of the White Earth reserva-
tion are heartily in favor Of the
enterprise, that is, providing fair
and liberal concession is extended
in the matter, respecting land and
other property, ETC., that may be
used along it's line through the
reservation.
Let the good work go on.

UNGRAC/0US ASSUMPTION.

In previous issue of the Prog.
ress mention was made of the Sen.
ate resolution of Dec. IS, 1887
requesting the Hon. Sec'y of the
Interior to furnish the Senate
with the letters, dispatches and
reports of Mrs. Charlotte M. Clark,
late special agent appointed to in
spect Indian schools, etc. We
believed then-judging from out
ward manifestations and preten.
sions-that the lady was heartily
and graciously sincere in the work
she was entrusted to perform, also
that she was possessed of those de.
slrable qualities which are essen.
tial to Indian officials, to insure
action on proper measures that
will prove beneficial to the Indi.
ans welfare and a boon to the
liberal efforts of a Christian civil.
zation. But since expressing our
views, we have been furnished
with copies of Mrs. Clark's letters
and reports, in which we find
much material to warrant a re-
traction of our estimate respect
ing her gracious earnestness and
her qualification for the official
duties over which she presided
when she visited White Earth.
We not only feel that the great
est stress of her efforts was in the
securing of her salary, the baby
ing Of a bruised shin, but 'tshe was
not at all fitted for the place. she
was appointed to fulfil. This is
the way she presumes her assump-
tion on the merits of Miss Maggie
Macarthur as a teacher teaching in
the primary department. of the
Government boarding school
with an uncivilized people first
impressions are forming impressions.
Thus the primary room, is the mold
ing room, Miss Macarthur has the
most important position in the school,
and she is not at all fitted for the place
she holds. I can do nothing but rec
ommend her removal at the close of

school,. . She further recommends
the employment of white teacher
in Miss McArthur's place." this we
presume to avoid the prophesised .ca-
lamity Or cyclone which then threat
the school-to some peoples mind.
Goodness, gracious! What vast,
conceptive storehouses of ideas
some people seem to possess /! :!
Hardly an hour after Mrs. Clark's
arrival, and with less than fifteen
minutes.in the school-room where
Miss Macarthur was employed,
the above egotistic, disjointed and
unwarranted assumption was suf-
fered indulgence and allowed to
form part of this sincerely intelli-
gent lady's official report. But the
request of removal" like many
another Of a similar nature, lacks
that material which forms the ba-
sis Of sound, moral reasoning res
pecting existing causes, OR defects
in individual qualities which
would justify the removal of an
incumbent or individual in any
station in life. And we venture
the opinion, that were the true
causes surrounding the above un-
charitable action againt faithful
and worthy subordinate made
known to the public, they would
point wide off the range of unfit
ness" or incapacity.

gate and attorney, is hereby author
lied, and empowered to contract with
said Freeman & Money to pay III
compensation for their services sum
not to exceed ten per cent. of the
amount recovered
The above contract has reference to
the ''back money which we refer to
in another column. John V. Wright
Chairman of the treaty commission,
has evidently taken a deep interest
in the matter, and as usual, is
working for the interest (?) Of the In.
dians-and the firm of Freeman &
Money.
Mr.. Wright has written a letter to
agent Sheehan, as we are informed by
the latter, in reference to this con
tract and to secure the signature of
the Chiefs to the same. Mr.. Sheehan
takes the same position we do regard
ing the same, and will not countenance
an act which will insure the payment
of $4,000 or $4,000 to any party or
parties who have never done anything
towards prosecuting this claim.
The account has long since been ad-
justed, and all that remains to be done
is for Congress to appropriate the
amount. It must be borne in mind
that, whenever the appropriation for
the arrearage fund is made, the Miss
issippi Indians have third interest
in it, and any action which may be
made by the Lake Superior Indians
looking to disposition Of that fund
should not effect the Mississippi In
dians share of it.
The action of Mr.. Wright in this
matter does not tend to increase our
confidence in him, as past experience
with him and his 'treaty commission.
teaches us that we must watch him
with a. jealous eye.

According to the treaty Of

titled to share in said arrearages.
ETC., viz:
ARTICLE 8. It is agreed, be-
tween the Chippewas Of Lake Su-
perior and the Chippewas of the
Mississippi, that the former shall
be entitled to two-thirds, and the
latter to one-third, Of all benefits
to be derived from former treaties
existing prior to to the year 1847."
$778,406.29, is the amount of
the "back money! due the Lake
Superior and Mississippi Ch1ppe-
was jointly, covered into the U. S.
treasury between the years 1s43
and 1873 inclusive.
Our brothers, the Lake Superior
Chippewas, have alseady made an
effort in person at Washington
to secure this money, but failed as
published in previous issue. This
year they have again concluded to
make an effort, and will soon
leave for Washington to urge the
claim; in this they have invited
our people to join them, but thro'
the agencies Of pernicious inhuen-
cies, a practical decision in the
matter, has thus far failed. It
would seem reasonable to believe,
that in a matter Of this kind, no
just or earthly power could inter-
pose an objection seeking to defeat
the efforts of an individual or a
community in honestly endeavor-
ing to possess that portion which
is justly and lawfully due! And
we trust, that even now, some
steps may be taken by our people
in aid Of this effort, and lend their
voices in urging fair and early
settlement of all dues and arrear-
ages.
