ENGLISH IN INDIAN SCHOOLS.

Rules Of The Indian Bureau Framed 10 Salt
Good Men And VIII be Adhered to-PreS.
CleVelandS Views.
WASHINGTON, April S.-PreSident Cleve-
land has written q long letter to Rev. Jas.
Morrow, d. D, of Philadsl phis, in re-
sponse to the resolutions adopted at the
session of the Philadelphia annual CON
ference of the Methodist church held
March goth, of which the following is a
synopsis:
My DEAR SIR:-I have received certain
resolutions passed at the annual confer
ence held at Philadelphia. The action
taken oy this assemblsge of Christian
men has greatly surprised me. They de-
clare that this conference earnestly pro
tests against the recent action of the gov
ernment in excluding the use of the na-
tive languages in the education of Iu-
dians and especially the exclusion
Of the Dakota bible; that
while admitting the advantages in teach
ing English to the indians to compel
them to receive all religious instruction
in that language would practically hinder
their receiving 1t in the most effective
way. The line of power travels with the
dian is in his language. That the opera
tlous of all missionary societies should
be untrammeled by state iuterferences
The president quotes the rules of the In
dian bureau upon the subject and con
tlnues: Tbs government seeks in the
management of the Indians to civili2e
and prepare them for that contact with
the world which necessarily accompanies
\, =
to the Indian from this point of view than
a knowledge of the English language.
Nothing can be more consistent than the
teaching of English in our Indian schools
1t will not do to permit these wards of
the nation to become their own masters,
to indulge in their barbareus language,
because it is easier or because it pleases
them. Similar teaching is the object of
the ordinary government schools, but
surely there can b6 no objection to read
ing chapter in tho Bible, in English or
in Dakota, if the English could not be
understood, at the daily opening ot tho
schools. The use of the yernacular
should not be encouraged or continued
beyond the limit of such necessity; and
1.-The text books the Oral instruction.
in the general sense and the "Currieuum"
certainly should be in English. The
rules of the Indian bneau have
been modified and changed in their
phrastoIogy to meet the view of good
men who seek to aid the government in
its benevolent intention until it was sup
posed their meaning was quite plain and
their purpose satisfactory. These rules
will be adhered to and the government
will continue to invoke the assistance OF
all Christian people and organizations in
this very important and interesting part
of the labor entrusted to it.

In Germany tho current of public in
dignation seems to be turning aside from
the English doctor to whose tireless care
and resolute treatment the Emperor
Frederick probably owes his ability to
attend to the duties of his mighty Office.
The euIogiurt on Sir Morell Mackenzie
delivered by DR.. BilrOth before the
students of the Vienna University was
probably not prepared without the
cognizanco of Prusso German courtiers
of scientists. The intimation given by
the Emperor through his request to
Queen Victoria that Mr.. Mackenzie might
be permitted to accept his decoration
has not been unheeded by the subject
of the imperial patient.

The Supreme Court decision in the tele
phone case will stir up the State Legis-
| lature TO attempts to check the monOpo-
Iy by limiting the rates to be charged.
The Providence journal urges this course
as the only remedy for the extortion com
planned of; and the directors of the telo-
phone company were interested enough
in the subject, at their recent meeting, to
hope that the Legislatures vii! noU pass
any suoh measures. The reason they
! give for the hope Is that the result of
| such logislations in indiana was "unsatis
! factory TO the Subscribers" but there is
some reason for believing that they were
| Influenced in part by the remembrance
| that the result of the Indiana legislation
wis unsatisfactory also to the company.
As to the right of the State Legislature
to fix tke rates for telephone service there
can be no reasonable doubt. 1t is urged
sometimes that the State has no more
right to do this than it has to fix the
price of other commodities; but this
must be an error. The fact that the tele-
phone company must use the highway in
order to make its plant available gives
tho public right to demand scsno recon-
pcnse for such use. What better OF more
appropriate recompenso can it ask than
| the service OF the public on reasonable
terms. The State fixes limits for rail
road charges and a maximum price for
gas; and it does this on the express
ground that the railroads and gas com
Pauios ought make some return for the
privileges they enjoy. Is there any reas-
on why telephon companies should be
exempt from making such returns?

As CHINESE LABoRERS to the number of
something less than 4 dozen year man
age to get into the United States and
threaten loss of employment and starva-
tion wages to millions of other workmen
IN spite of the law excluding them, the
Chinese Government has kindly consent
ed to help keep at home the eight or ten
Cinnamon who annually leak through the
legal Gordon that surrounds the land of
the free and the home of the brave. To
this end the Chinese Government has
agreed TO treaty excluding all Chinese
laborers from this country for Il period of
twenty years. Those now here who visit
CAina are prohibited from returning un-
less they leave behind them in this coun-
try, wives, children, or parents or proper
ty, or debts to the value of $1,000. To
secure the privilege of return under these
conditions it will be necessary for the de-
parting Celestial TO deposit with the Col
lector of Customs OF the district from
which he departs full description, in
writing, OF his family, property or debts,
ana receiving in return a certificate set
ting forth his right to return. This trea-
ty, if ratified, would doubtless prove eff
fective as a means of excluding the Chi
| nese.

TnE British budget which was SO heart

poses which belong here to the States

no means covers local expenses in Great
Britain; and costly as we sometimes think
our governm u Is, it Is very much cheap
er than the mouarch!al form. In one res
pect the British budget looks better than
ours. The estimated revenue exceeds the
estimated expense of only Sll 100000,
and upon the strength of the surplus it is
proposed to reduce the income tax. In
this country the surplus last year OF re
ceiPts over expenditures was $4,000,
OoO. Yet there is q strong party out of
Congress and in that body which bitterly
opposes the reduction Of taxation.

The Leading Manufacturing Industry,

The report of the United States Geo
logical Survey has been Issued for 1886,
containing among other matters of in
formation statistics of the production
of minerals in this country. The value
of these productions in that year
amounted to about $465, ,000,0 900, the
largest yet recorded in any country,
and showing an increase OF $29,00O,-
900 as compared with the production
of the previous year. The greatest in
crease was in iron and steel which
alone amounted to $30,0OO,0OO.
This showing is particularly crafty
ing to Pennsylvanians, as the benefits
are largely shared by this State which
is the leading iron manufacturing Sec
tion of the country. In view of the
changes that are proposed to be made
in the tariff it is in order to consider
the effect they may have upon the pro-
ductive interest that 30 closely concerns
our State. AS the reforms proposed
are not intended to be free trade meas,
nres, it is not to be expected that there
will be any considerable reduction oi
duties on manufactured iron, if any a
all. The removal of the tariff from
raw materials would include iron ore
Thousands of tons of foreign ore, abso
lutely needed in the manufacture o.
iron, and for which our native mine
have as yet furnished no substitute
are imported and heavy duty is pai'
on it. There is not a ton of it use,
without good many more tons o
domestic ore being used with 1t. There
fore il is reasonable TO believe that tn
use of the product Of our mines woul'
be stimulated by any measures tha
would increase the use Of the indisper
sable foreign ores. Diminishing th
cost of the latter would appear to q
in its good effects by increasing th
use of the former. 1t is claimed tbs
in this way cheap raw materials, a
though the production of other countrit
stimulate the activity aud promote u
interest OF our home industries.

The medicine this gentleman tool
for malaria, may have been effective
but few would care to try the remedy
Nor is there any necessity for it.
Malaria is poisoned cordition o
the blood produced by bad air ant
water, which enter the blood-channel
through the stomach and lungs ant
other ways, and produce injurious ef
fects on the liver and kidneys It ],
cured by putting the liver and kidneys
in perfect healthy working order. Th'
Drugs ordinarily used for such purpose
frequently do quite as much harm al
good, and leave the system in an en-
feebled condition.
The certain and harmless remedy
for malaria is Warmers safe cure whicl
puts the liver aud kidneys in healthy
action, when the poison is carried ou
of the system, and the serious effects
it engenders, pass away. j. M. Booth
Springfield, Mass, under date of Marcl
2Sth, 1887, writes:---"Oae year ago
had the malaria--had had it more OF
less for ten years. l stopped all othe1
medicines aud took Warmers safe cure
and it cured me. This country is fam
ous for malaria, and I know Warner
safe cure will cure it."
