Indian Reform

la. failed of legislative sanction while doubt
ful grants TO railroads TO pass through Indian
reservations have multiplied. The undisput-
ell necessity for prisons for United State,
convicts and postoliice al the national
capital has been ignored while scores of less
necessary building. have been erected. An
easily effected and just revision OF our peG-
sion laws has peen postpOre ed while hundreds
of private pension laws are annually passed,
which are the source of uni justdscnmlnatiou
and popular decentralization. Appropriations
bills for the support of the government are
defaced by items ard provisions to meet pri-
yate ends and it is freely asserted oy re-
spOn.ible and experienced parties that d bill
spproprlatng money for public in erna i'm
provements would fail unless it contained
items more for local and private advantage
than for public benefit.
The President presents the remedy for all
this and says that public devotion will tend
to strongly resist all lmpati9 nee of the con-
stitutIOnal limitations of federal power and
TO perslstently check the increasing inclnG-
ton to extend the scope of federal legislation
INTO the domain of State and local Jurisdic-
ton upon the plea of subscribing the public
welfare The preservation of the partitions
between proper subjects of federal and local
care and regulation is, IN the Presidents
mind, of such importance under the constl-
tuition that no consideration of expediency or
sentiment should tempt US TO enter on doubt
full ground. The President quotes from
President jackson to the effect tina he de-
slres TO restore unlmpared the sacred trust
contded to his charge and to persuade his
countrymen that it is not in a government
supported by powerful monopolies and aris-

tions with foreign countries is the next sub
ject treated. he President says
have the satisfaction To announce that
the end of the year finds the country at
peace within and without. During the year
our foreign relations have been improved by
mutual good offices, treaties and the recipro-
cal eItraditiOn of criminals. The questions
between Great Britain and he United States
relating to the rights OF American fishermen
under treaty and International comfy in the
territorial waters of Canada and Newf0und-
land, | regret to say, are not yet satistacto-
rily adjusted.
The President SAYS this matter was fairly
treated in his message of February last, and
the procet etdings in connection Herewith have
been transmitted for the approval of the
Senate A repetition of them he considers
unnecessary at this time Consequently he
simply renews the statement Of September

The superintendent and teachers of the
Baptist Sunday School of Eastport gave
their scholars very delightful entertain
ment last evening at their meeting room.
The exercises were opened with singing
by the school. Wake the Song of .Joy
and Gladness," followed by prayer. Dir.
Rayfeld then gave synopsis of the orr.
gin of the school and of the visible work
which it had in one year and three
months accomplished. He stated that
during this time eighty-three children
had been received in the shcool, and
nearly three thousand Sabbath School
papers had been given out, and 10 teaching
they used the International lessons. Mr..
Rsytield urged upon the parents present
the importance of seeding their children
to some Sabbath school. He said IL their
children were attending schools in town,
all right, but If they were not and cnuld
not, then send them to this school. While
be said il was called the Baptist Sunday
School at the same time nothing was ever
said or taught TO bias the mind of any
child to this denomination; that the
great and grand object of the school was
TO teach Christ and his love 10 lost and
ruined world. The next thing in order
was barrel opening" Twenty little
children had, two weeks ago, been sup
piled each with'a miniature barrel to cvl
lect money towards building a house OF
worship. For this each child was To re-
ceive reward, but there were first and
second prizes for the two collecting the
largest amount. These were earned by
Sallie Brewer and Nellie League respec.
lively. The twenty barrels netted $40.
After singing several other hymns sleigh
bells were heard in the distance, and it
was worth the years labors to see the
wonder and happiness depicted on the
children's faces when the door flew open
aud old Santa Claus entered loaded down
Wild good things for the little ones. Soon
after the distribution the school sung,
Merry, Merry Christmas" and then all
