subject of unpleasant remark" was
said by young lady on Que of the
recent cold nights. Tue words were
suggested by putting on a pair of
kid gloves, with the complaint that
they made the hands colder instead
of warmer. 1t was light remark,
but there was a whole volume of
meaning in the sentiment, for it is
notorious that, such are the arbi>
trary dictates of fashion, the richer
classes can wear about what they

A Diploma That Talked.

- So
r A young man entered Woodward
avenue car one day last week and be-
gan to distribute leaflets to the passen-
gers. His manner was quiet and he
had not the appearance of being a
crank. Each person approached took
the tract so gently offered, and at least
made a show of reading it. Only one
man rejected the free offering. ~ -
You had better be at work." he
said, rudely; ''that's my religion. - eo >e.:7
The tract distributor made nc
answer until he was rid of all the
tracts. Then he turned to the
grumbler and held out his two hands
without speaking a word ,@ -, -
They were horny and calloused with
hard work. His appeal was more elo-
Quent than speech. -DetFoit Free Press

ARTICLE I. AS soon as the loca-
ton Of the reservation set apart by
the second article hereof shall have
been approximately ascertained, and
reported to the office of Indian affairs.
the Secretary of the Interior shall
cause the same to be surveyed in con
formity to the system Of Government
surveys, and whenever, after such
surveys, ANY INDIAN, OF THE
BANDS PARTIES HERETO, EITHER
MALE OR FEMALE, shall have. ten
acres Of land under cultivation. such
Indian shall be entitled to receive. a
certificate showing him to be enti-
tied to forty acres Of land, according
to legal subdivision containing the
said ten acres or the greater part
thereof, and whenever such Indian
shall have an additional ten acres IN
der cultivation, IIE OR SHE shall be
entitled to a certificate FOR an addi
tlonal forty acres, and so on, until
the FULL AMOUNT OF ONE HUN
DRIED AND SIXTY ACRES may
have been certified to ANY ONE IN.

INDIAN shall be exempt from taxa

improper person, 8 then who can
guaranty that subsequent Con-
gress may not conclude in con
formity with the view of some Of
the latest agitators, VIZ that the
government ought to take possess
ion Of all unsettled lands within
the limits of the United States,
and this, without compensation;
that these lands may be held for
the use Of the landless, who are
increasing rapidly in our country.
Laws which in our country are
only the
Written will OF the Majority,
afford but poor protection to those
who have something the MAORI
ty' have determined on having,
and already the Indian S right to
these lands is being seriously ques-
toned. And it would seem to be
good policy to accept good thing
now offered, rather than throw
away what is offered, in hopes to
get something better, only to find
IN the end that all is lost.

In Poor Los Interest.

From special telegram to the
Minneapolis Evening Star, dated
at Chicago, July I'd, we note the
following:
1.-THE members of the Senate
committee on Indian affairs. presi-
ded over by Senatoa Dawes, are
at the Grand Pacific to-day, to
continue the investigation into
the condition Of the Indians along
the northern frontier and espec-
tally the Indians on the White
Earth reservation in Minnesota.
They will also investigate the con
dition Of the Indian agents and
their subordin ates at the various
agencies, with the view. OF ascer-
tanning whether any Of them have
neglected their duties or abused
their authority in their duties
dealing with the Indians. The
committee is further directed to
examine into the distribution of
annuities or other appropriations
made for the benefit Of the Indian
tribes by these agents.

Nelson bill, & is soon to be con.

jected Ply the Chippewas, my opin-

by many Of my friends, and [ have
concluded, that, with your per-

1t has long been my firm con-
Viction that the manifest DESTINY
OF our common country, will not
allow the permanent existence
within It's limits Of an alien race.
having a separate existence from
the common body polite, but that
Assimilation and Absorption, 81
was the only salvation Of the in
|diyiduals now comprising the Indi-
an tribes.
As a measure with that end Ii
view, the bill under consideration
seems to be calculated to carry out
and supplant the Dawes BILL
and although there are some pro-
visions, that are not what is to be
most desired by the friends Of the
ChlppeWas, yet the measure, as a
whole, is probably
The Hest that Can be Had,
and if a captious spirit is shown,
OF pposing everything calculated
to disturb the old order Of things,
which made the Indian agent an
autocrat, with power, when backed
