Sir: The pending before Congress and

deserves.
To strike down the rights secured by treaty has
ever been taken to be act of National dlshonor.
When the other party TO the treaty is nation, and
capable Of protecting its rights the result Of such
step is almost invariably war when the other party
is incapable of self protection every sentiment OF
honor and good faith ought urge that the rights OF
the dependent people be kept inviolable Just as
guardian is held to the strictest accountability in HIS
dealings with his ward, and every presumption made
against his acquiring any rights in his wards estate
so the United States Government should act uberrima
fde in dealing with Its Indian subjects. 1t does not
need any citations from history TO show that the
course Of our dealings with the Indians have not been
above suspicion Now. at the close OF the nineteenth

OBITUARY.
THOMAS M NIcHOU

Thomas NJ. Nichol died yesterday morning at
O'Clock at the Columbia Institute for the Cure Of
Chronic Diseases No. 142 East Thiryfourth-st, pre-
sided by DR.. Henry A. Hartt Mr. Nichoi was
unconscious FOR several days before his DEATH and no
passed away quietly. The funeral services viii be
held the above address on Wednesday at 1 o'clock
Mr.. Nichol born about forty-four years ago in
Ohio. He entered the Union Army while yet lad as
private soldier, and served until the close of the
war; II cannot be said that lie adopted settled
occupation, unless II was that OF politics, in which
he was keenly Interested, always, however, with
view 10 advancing the fortunes Of others and never
his own. he was for a time editor Of paper at
Fort Scott, Kan, and also took turn at teaching
school, His most important public service was the
formation Of the Honest Money League Of Chicago at
time when the imitation theories of the Green
hackers wero sweeping over the West. Re devoted
himself to the work Of this organization without COM
pensatIon, and in fact keeping 1t alive by his
efforts and those of half dozen others
who wero the real workers. Hundreds OF
thousands Of documents were printed and speeches
sent all over the West and Northwest One OF
the most effective Of these workers was Mr.. Michel
himself whose quaint personality and homely say
ings made him popular orator, while his complete
mastery Of financial subjects caused him to be listened
to as Instructor, and his prodigous memory and
power Of retort made him antagonist to be dreaded
There can be no question that this movement did
great deal to check the tide OF imitation sentiment
In the West, and Mr. Michel came out Of 1t poorer
than he went In.
II at that time that he formed the acquaintance
Of General Garfield, and warm friendship sprang
up between them. General Garfield seemed to have
priced 1t largely because Mr. Nichol would always
tell him the truth, even when II was disagreeabe,
and friends Of that kind are not common IN politics
President Garfield appointed him Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs, but he withdrew from the once
almost Immediately as he found It unsuited 10
him Two years later he engaged in an extensive
business enterprise in the West, which proved too
great a strain upon him. His health gave way.
and he Spent year abroad In the effort to recover
It. This he seemed to do, but three years later
symptoms Of spinal disease manifested themselves,
and for more than a year and half he was rarely
able 70 leave his room. Mr. Nichol was an earnest
believer In Christianity, and of deeply religious
temperament Ii may be said that the Bible and
politics wero his favortte themes of conversation
His acquaintance among public men was very ex-
tensiye. He was never married
