A. Friendly Echo.
New York Cry,
Jan'y 27, 1883. J.


Dear sir:--A lady Of this city, who
has for many years been, like myself
9 true friend Of the Ojibwas of Mime
sofa, has given me several copies Of
the Progress a few days ago. yI have.
perused them with deep interest: J.
first, because yours is the only paper
| have seen, edited by one to ..the
mannor bo1n;;'' secondly, because you
seem to comprehend the necessities Of
White Earth people and Indians in
general; and thirdly, because you so
yaliantly and fearlessly advocate the
only proper courses, i'll my Judgment,
for your people attaining that rank
among civilized folks, for which I
know that the majority Of your peo-
pie are ambitious. The time has gone
by for that stale and heartless state
ment, so often uttered by men un-
friendly to the Indians to be needed,
viz: that the only good Indians are
dead ones.'
Any one acquainted with the histo-
ry of the Ojibwas for the last two. de-
cades, and who has watched the eff.
rorts made BY that noble and venerable
missionary, ENa1EGAHBowH Rev. u
johnson, and others who have gone
home to the land Of the Great Spirit.
must be proud to call him and them
brothers, and pray more deyoutly.
the good Father Of red men and pale

complishment of the end sought.

respecting sshome rules self govern
ment, Z and agree with you that "a.
code OF laws to be administered

principle. Then the Indians would
feel that responsibility which attach

ere you would see a community in.
your beautiful country. thriving be-
yond what is possible with the sys-
tenn now existing, but under which
system you well say in the Progress

on the face Of the globe could pros

Wishing you prosperity in your lau-
dable efforts for the Indians best
welfare, am Your friend,
-BoN-AH-QrO rOD.
The above is from the pen Of
the venerable namesake Of chief
White Cloud, having visited the
-
White Earth reservation and is
conversant with the past and pres
ent Of its people ); he is a staunch
friend Of the Indians and has been
for many. years an earnest advo-
cate Of their cause. We join our
people In their humble thankful.
ness to our worthy friend, and to-
the noble men and women who.
have dared to raise their voice III
the cause Of humanity and justice,
God bless them. They are the
shining lights by which the child
ren Of the red race may hope to.
be guided safely through the rigid
transition Of a new existence.

A Changed Prisoner.

In certain prison there Is

Up to last spring he was regarded
as a desperate, dangerous man,

He planned a general outbreak
and was betrayed by one of his fel-

other rebellion and was again be-

While never refusing to obey or

who only needed backing to make

One day in June a party of
strangers came to the institution.
One of them was an old gentleman,
the Others were ladies, and two of
the ladies had small children.
The guide took one Of the children
on his arm and the other walked
until the party began climbing
stairs. Jim was walking near by
sulky and morose as ever, when the
guide said to him: Jim. wont

The convict hesitated, a scowl OF

her hands and said! eff You will

How TO CLEAN IvoRY.-Ivory orna-
ments, unless carefully cared for, be-
come yellow. They are very easily
cleaned and with little trouble will
look fresh and retain their lustre for
a long time. The simplest way to
clean them is to brush them with a
new tooth brush, but very sharp, to
which little soap is applied. Then
rinse the ornament in luke warm wa.
ter. Next dry it and brush until the
luster reappears. A little alcohol
poured upon the brush will increase
this luster. If the trinket has become
very yellow, dry it in a gentle heat
The yellow will SOON disappear and the
ornament look as good as new.

IT would seem AS If the word had
been passed along the line that
faithful Republican partisans must
take up the question of tariff revi.
sion and advocate it. The Chicago
platform having served its purpose
is to be cast aside like an old shoe.
The election was no sooner settled
than prominent Republicans be-
gan to intimate that the party
must revise the tariff or suffer de.
feat in 1892. That is, the vote of
many of the Western States and in
such States as Connecticut and
New Jersey has demonstrated that
the spirit Of tariff reform is abroad
in the land, that the good seed sown
has taken root and will soon bring
forth fruit an hundred fold, that
tariff reform and low taxes will be
the popular issue and that the Re.
publican party must trim its sails
to catch the breeze. 1t would
seem as if the word had been
passed along the line; and it is
amusing though pitiful, to hear the
same faithful old partisan, who a
few weeks ago was positively
preaching that the prosperity Of
the country depended entirely up.
on the maintaining Of our high tar.
if, now reluctantly saying that the
Republican party (whose platform
says the very opposite) must re.
duce the unnecessary taxes by re.
vising the tariff, that he always had
said miserable, transparent false
hood of which no one is more con.
scious than himselD that the tariff
ought to be reduced, but that the
Democrats couldn't be trusted to dc
it. Faithful old partisan your diet
is crow. But it matters little who
does it: what we want and have
worked for is a revision of the tar
if that will relieve the masses Of
unjust taxation.

The Woes Of a Reporter.
New York Graphic

Horace Greeley said one time, after
he had swallowed something the
wrong way: "Of all honored cattle,
deliver me from the college graduate
who wishes to become II newspaper
man." Once the managing editor of
u well-known San Francisco paper
brought a young man to the city
editor, and, introducing him, said that
he was a graduate Of the State Univer-
sity and desired to be journalist.
Yes" said the young graduate, !
want to start in on a bottom round OF
the ladder and work up" and he
smiled with the deep satisfaction OF
having already given the veteran
journalist sample of his sawmill
The city editor said he
was glad to know that he had no OBJ
lection to starting in on the bottom
round. There was nothing just then
for him to climb after, but if he would
sit down and read the paper for
awhile something might turn up.
Word came that a prominent Mont
gomery street merchant had failed.
The city editor told young varsity to
60 to the merchant, apprise him Of the
rum0r, with the assurance that he did
not believe it, and lay open the col
umns OF the paper for any explana-
tions that he chose TO make. The
young graduate went out with an
elastic step, and returned in about ten
minutes with spotted shirt front and
pallid face. A gentle smoker went
up from the other reporters. The
city editor looked up from his work
and asked what was the matter. The
young graduate, in q faltering voice,
said that he had been ruthlessly eject
ed, and had carried a part of the
swinging glass with him as he came
out without his hat. The city editor
nodded nod that may have been to
the stranger somewhat ambiguous
and went on with his work. The
young graduate stood awhile near the
desk shaking with fright, and at a loss
to know what to do. He said finally
What shall l do about it ?"
do about it? 2" replied the city
editor, in business sort of way, "Why
write it up"
"What, write about me getting
thrown out ?" asked the graduate in
amazement.
Certainly" replied the city editor
emphatically.
The astonished young applicant
for journalistic honors slid out the
side door and never has been heard o
since. He had mounted the bottom
round and had fallen of.
