10, THE POOR INDIAN.
Commissioners Oberly Makes His An
nual Report.


nual Report.
WASHINGTON, January 14.-Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Oberly in his
annual report discusses the act of June
20, 1888, by which the authority and
duties of the superintendent of Indian
schools is extended. The commissioner
reaches the conclusion that the most
natural, economical and effective ad-
ministration of the Indian schools will
be secured by enlarging the preroga-
tives of the superintendent; first, by
placing under his immediate charge all
branches CT the Indians educat ton, in
stead of restricting him to two lines of
of schools; and. second. by providing
that he shall perform the official func-
tons necessary in the discharge of such
enlarged duties, through the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, under which arrange
ment the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs may have the entire disposal of
the superintendent AMI the entire ma
chinery of the bureau, by the use of
which nearly all business IN relation to
INDIAN SCHOOLS
is and mast be transacted. The COM
missioner recommends some impor-
tant changes in the methods of max
ing purchases of Indian supplies. A
much more satisfactory method. he
thinks, would be for the Indian bureau
to submit to bidders the standard sam
pie OF such articles instead of having
submitted to it a large variety of sam-
piles of such articles, thus the question
of price alone would have to be consid-
cred in awarding contracts, and moth
ing more would be r. quired OF g CON-
missioner than the making of the award
to the lowest bidder, to make the in
spection of such goods as blankets,
clothing, etc.. infallibly accurately adj
justed; machinery and other appli-
ances for testing the strength of fab
RIGS could and should be applied. The
commissioner advises the extension of
the civil service law 20 the Indian ser
vice, and says he would advise that this
extension be made Immediately; if not
taken now it would be robbed of much
of its effectiveness by being attribuJ ed
to more of its
PARTISAN METHODS
In conclusion, the Commissioner
says: The Indian is commencing to ap-
preciate the fact that he must become
civilized and learn the white mans way
or perish from the face of the earth. He
should be thought how to work, and all
the schools that are open for his chill.
dren should be schools in which they
will be instructed in the use of me
chanical implements. and the Indian
should be taught not only how to work
but that it is his duty to work;
for the defrauding communism of the
terrible reservation system gives to the
individual no incentive to labor, but
puts premium on idleness, and makes
1t fashionable.

An Ex.PrisOner's Story,

The comrades may remember that in
November, 1864, there was an eX-
change of sick and wounded prisoners
of war The parole camp was at An
napolis, and there for more than a
month steam transports landed the
human wrecks from the awful prison.

swollen limbs from the dock to the camp

Have YOu Lost Jesus?"

The following very interesting case
in connection with Major Whites re-
cent mission in Edinburgh is related
by DR.. Moxey: " A woman | spoke to
told me of circumstance that was mar
rated to her by Christian neighbor
respecting herself, which had been
helpful in bringing her, as a believer,
to an assurance of her salvation. She
had gone to an evangelistic service,
where some such verse as John iii: 16
had brought her into light and peace.
When she got home her little boy no.

reason of it. 1 have found Jesus, my
dear boy she exclaimed. am saved

she said, and she read the verses to
him that had brought the joyful assur-
ance. Next morning Satan raised his
favorite question of feelings and she
came down to breakfast with the old
miserable expression that her son had
been so long accustomed to. What's
wrong now, mother?' questioned the
boy. Everything is wrong, dear.

verse changed, then?' continued the
boy. /" 1t seems as if it had. Stop, III go

return triumphantly with his Bible.
No, mother, it's not changed; it's just
the same, every word, as last night, and
he read aloud the blessed message. Said
the mother to my friend, That was

LincOln's Religion.

Abraham Lincoln was a man of pro-
found and intense religious feeling.
We have no purpose of attempting to
formulate his creed; we question if he
himself ever did so. There have been
swift witnesses who, judging from eX-
pressions uttered in his callow youth,
have called him an atheist, and Others
who, with the most laudable inten-
tons, have remembered improbable
conversations which they bring for
ward to prove at once his orthodoxy
and Il cir own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside these apocryphal evi.
dences, we have only to look at his
authentic and private utterances to see
how deep and strong in all the latter
part of his life was the current of his
rel gious thought and emotion He
continually invited and appreciated, at
their highest value, the prayers of good
people. The pressure of the ire
mendous problems by which he was sur
rounded; the awful moral significance
of the conflict in which he was the chief
combatant; the overwhelming sense of
personal responsibility, which never left
him for an hour-all contributed to pro-
duce, in temperament naturally seri-
GUS and predisposed to a spiritual view of
life and conduct, sense of revereut
acceptance of the guidance of Superior
Power From that morning when, stand
ing amid the falling snowflakes on the
railway car at Springfield, he asked the
prayers of his neighbors in those touch
ing phrases whose echo rose that night
in invocations from thousands of family
affairs, to that memorable hour when, on
the steps of the capitol, be humbled
himself before his Creator in the sub,
lime words of the second inaugural =,
there is not an expression known to
have come from his lips or his pen but
proves that he held himself answerabe
in every act of his career to more au-
gust tribunal than any on earth. The
fact that he was not communicate of
any church and that he was singularly
reserved in regard to his personal re-
ligious life gives only the greater force
to these striking proofs of his profound
reverence and faith.-AuguSt Century.

Stray Shots.

On the LIST of July, this year, there
were 1856, 662 pension claims pending in
the pension office. The number await
ing special examination was 1888.
ONE HUNDRED TEN tons of hay have
been harvested on the farm connected
with the Soldiers Home in Bennington
this season. The inmates of the Home
turned out and helped cut the hay from
choice, not being under obligation to
labor on the farm.
THE pension cases ordered for spe-
cial examination, that have been de-
layed for about two years for want of
examiners to do the large amount of
this kind of work in Eastern Vermont,
will soon receive due attention. Spe-
cial Examiner Homer Riggs of Middle
bury has been transferred to st. Johns
bury, and another examiner is soon ex-
pected at Montpelier to assist Special
Examiner D. w. Edgerly. Many of
the claimants are poor and have suf-
fered for the want of means for a COM
Portable support while their claims
have been hung up for investigation.
ALICE A. JACKMAN has been granted
pension, on the decision of the secre-
tary of the interior, on her appeal from
the rejection of the commissioner of
pensions. Her husband, Orvis f.
Jackman, died at Barre, October Is,
1885, on account of insanity and disease
of brain AT the time of his death the
soldier was receiving a pension for loss
of the right arm. The reason given for
rejecting the claim was that the fatal
disease of brain was not the result
of loss of right arm, for which he
had been pensioned. His attending
physician testified that, in his opiuion,
the soldiers insanity and death was
caused by the loss of the arm and its
results. This opinion was finally adopted
instead of the opinion of the medical
referee, who, from an examination of
the papers in the claim, gave the opinion
that the loss of arm could not possibly
be accepted as the death cause.
IT is strange that Secretary of In
terror Noble should appoint committee
to investigate Commissioner Tanner in
rerating pensions when the law re-
quires the secretary himself to sign
every pension certificate, whether for
original increase or rerating, and gives
him the power to override the action
of the commissioner in every case. He
is the responsible one for the granting
of all pensions, so his committee really
is one to investigate his own conduct.
Such performance indicates a want
of ability and dignity, or downright
cowardice, on the part of the secretary
to face the newspaper lies and criti-
cisms. We do not believe that Cor
poral Tanner has been more liberal in
granting pensions than the law war;
rants, and the people will sustain him
when the facts are known. That he
may be open to the charge of favoring
his friends in some cases we do not
deny. That has been the case before
Tanner assumed the office of commits
sioner. 1t may be expected to be done
so long as that Office is filled with a
politician or an enthusiast instead of a
business man who would conduct the
affairs of the Office on business princi-
plies instead of political reasons or ia
voritism.

The Forces at Gettysburg.

The battle of Gettysburg is remark
able not only for its results, but for the
fierce and stubborn nature of the con-
tlict itself. The armies on both sides
were large, though not so large, perhaps.
as to make the battle pre-eminent on
that account. The figures on this point
are interesting. Those given by the
Comte de Paris may be accepted as
obtained by careful investigation. The
Army of the Potomac, without French's
division, which had remained at Fred
erick, numbered 167 psi men, but
nearly $4,000 were in the hospitals and
more than q 900 were on detached
service. The number of men present
with their corps was H., 9SS, and that
of men under arms 80 400. About
5000 men came as re-enforcements I'M
der Stannard and Lockwood, making a
total of effective forces of 105 900 men
and 352 pieces of artillery. But $3.50
troops were on duty at headquarters:
the cavalry, numbering 10000, were
not seriously engaged: 5000 to 1000
were serving as additional guards neal
supply trains, batteries, ETC., and there
were probably 1000 to 5000 stragglers.
The Comte de Paris therefore estimates
the Union force seriously engaged al
from 1000 to $4,000 men. According
to the official reports the Union loss
was 1884 killed, 1900 wounded, in
Guiding ten generals, and 6,645 prison.
ers, or %, 1S6 in all. But these figures
do not tell the whole story. The hos
pital records show the burial of 3 ,575
Union corpses, and it is estimated that
1000 or 100 died of their wounds. 1t
is estimated that Lee brought on the
battlefield for actual service $4,000 to
$4,000 men and $50 guns. The con-
federates had 1865 killed, 1859
wounded, including thirteen generals,
and AGA missing or 22,72S in all
making their losses almost exactly the
same as those of the Union forces,
though the latter army was the larger
by one-fourth. These losses were
enormous, being twenty-seven per cent
of the Union army and thirty-six per
cent of the confederate army. They
are proofs of the stubborn bravery Of
both the blue and the gray, which the
survivors of to-day can recall with
pride as well as with sorrow.-Neu

ably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at many
drug-stores as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles

nous in this very valuable article,
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, colds,
