INDIAN EDUCATION.
Commissioner Oberly Thinks 1t Should Be
CompulsOry,

There is still a difference in opinion in some
states regarding the advidability of compdl-
sorry education, but it would seem that there
could be no dissent from Indian Commissioner
Oberly's conclusion that compulsory educa-
ton is necessary for the Indians. In many
cases Indian parents have shownthemselves
honestly DESTROYS of promoting the welfare
of their children. The Indian is beginning
to realize the tact that he must learn the
white mans ways" or perish from the face
of the earth, but it Is still necessary to reckon
with vast mass of prejudice, ignorance and
inherited preferences. In other words, it is
inevitable that many of the Indians should
be treated more OF less like children and COM
PEELED to take medicine necessary and helpful,
but unpalatable Phis education, as Mr.
Oberly we'll says. should be on those princi-
Piles Of c0mpulsiOn which are recognized as
legitimate in the free commonwealth, and
which, while requiring the Indian to be edu-
Gated for civilized life and self support, leave
with his parents the liberty to choose be-
tween the government and the private school,
50 long as the latter conforms to the proper
standards. The sensible recommendations
are made that the standards should be
uniform, and that the official tenure of the
teachers should be permanent, and removals
made only for ineficiensy and other unfit
ness
1t is certainly true that the Indian must be
taught how to LABOR, and also that it is his
duty to work. This means that the schools
should include manual training in their cIr-
riculum, and the children should be in
structed in the use of agricultural nipple
ments, the carpenters saw and plane, the
stone masOn's trowel, the tailor's needle and
the shoemaker's awL The enervating COM
munism of the reservation system cannot be
allowed to continue much longer; and with
the allotment of land in severalty there will
come an immediate incentive to work, and
this must be made intelligent "If the In
dian will not learn" says Mr. Oberley, If he
will continue to persist in saying, Il am con-
tent-let me alone then the guardian must
act for the ward, and do for him the good
service that he denounces as a bad service
The government must thus, in duty to the
public, compel the Indian to come out from
his isolation into the civilized way that he
does not desire to enter, into citizenship, and
into assimilation with the masses of the re-

Invalidism as a Fine Art.

There was very interesting article in one

is one of perfect health, and who from one
reason or another feels called upon to give up
a day or two to being an invalid, makes a
dreadful mess of his invaiidism. Nobody

this is very Illuminating, because his symptoms

consider it desirable that people should treat
him as if they thought he was likely to die at
any moment, and the under current of optim-

the casual, accidental Invalid can suffer as
acutely as the most perSistenly bedridden

After the forenoon services at the
Baptist church on last Sunday, the
numbers went into executive session,
Mr.. s. s. Fairfield in the chair as mod
orator. The secretary's report on the
pastors salary, found it in arrears
about 81, which was In n few moments
liqudated. A motion was then made
to increase 1t from $1,000 to Sl,O5O,
which was ut once amended by $50
and as promptly carried, without
a dis .enling voice. This sum in cash,
with other advantages, places Mr..
Miller's salary far above the average
pre- ,oher, and vet we have the best Of
reasons to know that If money was
the superinducing cause Of his stay
here, there are other churches which
would pay much more. But he loves
his people, and 1t is warmly returned
by every member. The truth is Rev.
f. B. Miller is no common man in ma
tive talent or acquired learning. a
constant student, sweeping the broad
field Of useful information, his acquisi-
tions are more p~erceptlble to his
church, and they feel like placing
within his reach every supply de-
msnded by his taste or duty. His sor-
mon. are always interesting and In
structive, and sometimes logical and
eloquent, but ever original, 80 far as
his own though are concerned.

The meeting Of the Ali Il; ,hr
Court house IN Saturday two weeks
ago, was all interesting one, in many
respects. If there were not as Imany
outsiders present, rs We expected, it
was not because the GAZETTE did not
give the lecturer, Capt. Matt Mister,
both n cordial erecting and welcome.
We wishei the merchants. lawyers,
doctors and business community to
hear him. He has been in harness, OF
the ro5trum and before the public at
times Tor about one year, and ofcourse
was well posted in his business, a. he
proved in argument, facts and illu-
trhtlons. The fact is, it is o big sub
Ject, embracing in its r~amification..
every material good, that we enjoy.
AS the objects and purposes, If the
Alliance are known, and the way thy
propose to secure these aids, arc lr-
coming known, the Alliance grow in
favor amongst those who are disqual-
fled to become members, as it, pur-
poses are understood.
It'll a well known law OF physics,
that large bodies move slowly, and
the same may be said of any large or
gained aggregation of men. At pres
ent, it is like an immense pile of raw
material, every part Of which is use
full, but which part to use, and how,
are questions, that time, aided by ex-
perience, will naturally solve. They
have the members, they have the |
spirit, the courage and intelligence,
and as moral and intellectual agents,
they VIII use these forces in their
crops, their stock and lands, which are
to be utilized for the b, st interest of
the whole country.
The Alliance has been before the
people Of the county and the STAT.
long enough, as we think, to begin to
some practical evidences of their
material progress. If there b.. any
special interests involved i'm their
work, of course it comes chiefly from
their lands and crops. These, we say.
are the fundamental facts with which
they have to deal, as upon them hangs
not only the successs of the Alliance,
but of county and State. We do not
mean to Say, that they should ex-
'lude the examination Of any uues-
