Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
INDIANAPOLIS, January 13.-Among the
callers on General Harrison to-day was
Congressman John s. Wise, late of
Virginia but now of New York. His
visit was unexpected, but the General
gave him welcome and invited him to
lunch. The midday meal over, the Gen
eral and his guest spent quarter OF
an hour in private conversation. What
passed between them can only be judged
from an interview had with Mr.. Wise on
his return the from Generals house. To
an Associated Press correspondent Wise
declared his visit had no political signif-
canoe; that he had lawsuit at Akron,
Ohio, and ran over to see General Harri-
son on Sunday. He would not admit
that the visit of twenty-five prominent
Virginians in the interest of General
Malone furnished
THE MOTIVE FOR HIS VISIT,
But in the course of his conversation he
inveighed against the little General with
his old-time fire, declaring it would be
disastrous to the Republican party in the
South to put General Malone in the
Cabinet. When asked if he made such
declaration to the President-elect, he
declined to state what passed in their
conversation. He vehemently pro-
claimed that Malone lost the vote oi
Virginia to.General Harrison in the late
election. Some of the Mahoneites when
here stated that Wise had agreed "te
keep his hands off, in their efforts tc
obtain a Cabinet position for General
Malone. Wise did not corroborate this
but emphatically denied that he haC
agreed to "keep his hands off," He
left for Akron this evening.
NEW YORK LoG-RoLLERs.
Another distinguished visitor who ha.
arrived is John F. Plumer, well-knowr
New York Merchant and President O

of New York, and Vice. President of tht

late tonight by Hon. Warner Bateman
of New York, and it is understood will
urge Cabinet recognition for ex-senator
Warner Miller. Another party of New
Workers are en- route from Canajoharie
with State Senator w. j. Arkel at theil
head. 1t is understood this party comes
to urge the claims OF ex-senator Platt
and that they are in favor of some thirt
man from New York in case the Presi
dent-elect cannot honor Platt's can
didacy.

THE death of Mrs. Gould was not
wholly unexpected, as she lay danger
ously i'll for many months; not long ago,
however, she rallied and her physician
confidently announced that there were
hopes of her recovery. Bulletins as to
her condition ceased being issued, 80 the
news of her death will be read by some,
perhaps, with some surprise. While the
world at large has heard little of Mrs.
Gould in connection with her husband g
brilliant achievements in the financial
world, the millionaire's domestic
life is said to have been a
remarkably happy one. Mrs. Gould is
represented as having possessed all the
virtues of true wife and mother, and
graces which fitted her for the highest
position in society. Alike during the
periods of her husbands adversely or
prosperity she remained the same true
wife and helpmeet. There was no
happier home on Fifth avenue than that
of the Gould's, and by this act Of Provi-
dence the great millionaire has suffered
a greater loss than if he were to be shorn
of all his riches.-ED.

CERTAINLY the weather now prevailing
in the semi-tropics ought to satisfy all
interests. A more agreeable or benign
meteorological d;spensation has seldom
been vouchsafed to any section than that
which now blesses this. Yesterday, for
example, the record, by the mercury at
the signal service station in this city, was
fifty degrees as the minimum and sixty
three as the maximum. For purposes
of comfort there was not spark OF fire
lighted in Los Angeles yesterday, nor to-
day, nor for many days or nights past.
At the same time there is moisture
enough in the atmosphere to maintain
vegetation in the most lusty condition.
The calm which prevails by the month
at time aids materially in this desirable
result. The wind merely moves, and
what motion there is comes from the
broad expanses Of the Pacific, and every
breeze watts life and strength to all sorts
of beings, whether animal or vegetable

RUMoR has it that there is considerable
stir on the part of owners of property
along Main, Spring and other streets
near the business center of Los Angeles,
who are making prepa rations to 60 on
with no small amount of building. Dur
ing the unprecedented rush of the past
three or four years material and labor
were very costly, and structures put up
during that period cost great deal Of
money. The high rents to be had, and
the fact that tenants could be secured for
premises before the cellars over which
they were to stand had been excavated,
stimulated such building. Now the
property owner cannot reap two harvests
the same day. If clamorous demand
for stores and rooms is heard there will
be q busy effort made to meet it,
and material and labor will skim
some of the cream off the pan. But il
there is some cessation or toning down
in these notes of clamor and the rush OF
construction is over, then the forehanded
man can build at his leisure and pay more
reasonable prices for lumb ber, iron, NOR
tar and muscle. This is how they look
at the matter. In many cases business
men bought lots while they were cheap,
intending to improve them for their own
use. The extreme cost has deferred
them from this, but now they see their
way towards the accomplishment of their
purpose. And those who wish to i'm
prove in order to rent say they can save
a couple of years rent in the smaller cost
of block, and therefore can afford to
take some chances as to finding tenant.
Then there are many business men who
are now paying very high rents, and
would be glad to move little further
from the very center of activity if they
could secure desirable premises at lower
rents. This reasoning on the part of lot
owners seems to be sound.

LO! THE POOR INDIAN.
SuggeAtiOns by Commissioner
Oberly as to His " elfare.


WASHINGTON, January 13.-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 were extended. The Commits
sioner reaches the conclusion that the
most natural, economical and effective
administration of Indian schools will be
secured by enlarging the prerogatives of
the Superintendent first, by placing
under his immediate charge all matters
connected with all branches of Indian
education, instead of restricting him to
two lines Of work in connection with but
one class of schools; and second, by
providing that he shall perform the
official functions necessary to discharge
such enlarged duties, through the Bureau
OF Indian Affairs, under which arrange
ments the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs may place at the disposal of the
Superintendent the entire. official ma
chinery of the Bureau, by the use of
which nearly all business in relation to
Indian schools is and must be transacted.
The Commissioner recommends some
important changes in the methods of
making purchases of Indian supplies. A
much more satisfactory .method, he
thinks, would be for the Indian Bureau
to submit to bidders standard sample
Of each article, instead of having SUBJ
mitted to it large variety of samples of
each article. Thus the question of price
would alone have to be considered in
awarding contracts, and nothing more
would be required of the Commissioner
than the making of the award to the
lowest bidder. To make the inspection
of such goods as blankets, clothes, cloth
ing, etc., infallible, accurately adjusted
machinery and other appliances for test
ing the strength of fabrics could and
should be supplied.
The Commissioner favors the extern
sion of the provisions of the Civil Ser
vice lawto the Indian Service, and SAYS
he would advise this extension to be
made Immediately if he were not fearful
if taken now it would be robbed of much
of it's effectiveness by being attributed to
partisan motives.
In conclusion the Commissioner saws
the Indian is commencing to appreciate
the fact that he must become civilized.
He must, as he expresses it, "learn the
white mans way or perish from the face
of the earth" He should be taught
how to work. and all schools that are
opened for his children should be
schools in which they are instructed in
the use of agricultural and mercantile
implements, and the Indian should be
taught not only how to work, but also
that it is his duty to work, for the de-
frauding commission of the terrible res
ervation system gives to the individual
no incentive to labor, but puts pre-
mium upon idleness and makes it fash
ionable.

directors of the young and shooting

doubt, would pass mine of gold, their
purely intellectual noses in the air, and

This matter of manual training is TAX

public schools belong to the public. 1t
is not far distant day, when much of
the time now spent in filling the minds
of children with the to them useless
terminologies of sciences they are never
to master, like rubbish is shot in some
useless hole, will be devoted to the
learning of some useful trade, to the
developing of the muscles of the
body, instead of suffocating the
powers of the mind under a
weight of barren words. The wise
pedagogues will brush the cobwebs oi
prejudice from their own minds. and
taking cognizance OF the signs of the
times, will prepare for the impending
change. The King of France would not
bother his lofty mind about such baga-
telle business as reform. When the
people, made mad by oppression, rose ur
against the heavy abuses of ages, this
King said: SIS this revolt?' "No
Sire," said his servant, wiser than the
monarch, this is revolution !"

suit 20 Cancel Patent..

WASHINGTON, January l3.-Commis-
sioner Coleman has been informed that
in the suit brought at his request by the
Attorney General, against Magnus Swan
zon, for the cancellation of his patent for
a method for the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum cane, the demurrer of
Swanzon has been overruled and the case
set for trial. The Commissioner thinks
this action of the court has settled the
point of law as to the right of the Govern
ment to bring suit for the cancellation of
patents in cases where employees make
discoveries while employed by the
Government.

BUFFALO, January 13.-The Courier
this morning created sensation in SEN
sationalist circles by publishing num-
ber of letters and kilograms written by a
special detective of Scotland Yard. sent
out in the interest of the London Times
to procure evidence to implicate Parnell
in the Phoenix Park murders. 1t appears
that in August last a mechanic residing
at Black Rock, being out of work and
money, conceived the idea of making
something out of the London Times. He
wrote to the publisher, stating in effect
that he knew of two Irishmen who were
in possession of documentary evidence
that would prove the letters on which
the Times relied in the present investi-
cation to be perfectly genuine. He soon
received advice from the Times that
detective would be sent. The detective
duly came and corresponded with
the mechanic from New York. He
was authorized to see the mechanic
and others willing to give proofs, and, if
necessary, 60 to England and testify, for
which they would be we'll compensated
and protected. He wanted the mechanic
to 60 to New York, and later to meet
him at hotel in Buffalo. The mechanic,
however, was equal to the occasion, and
on the arrival Of the detective here, noti-
fed him that the game was discovered.
The detective and his female companion
thereupon went to Toronto. From there
he went to Montreal and thence to Chi
cago, where his headquarters were with
George Harvey & Co., 179 LaSalle street,
all the time imploring the Buffalo man
to hasten his proofs, and at the same
time paying him several sums of
money, amounting in all to about $500.
Writing from Chicago November 23d,
he began to show suspicion, and
declared he would not pay out another

ST.. LOUIS, January 13.-The latest ad-
vices from the Indian Territory are that
the late decision OF Secretary Villas, Civ
ing the governorship Of the Chickasaw
Nation to William L. Byrd, is not favor
ably received. The adherents of Guy,
who was elected on the face of the re-

the Byrd faction in many To-
calities and are threatening trouble.
Both Guy and Byrd agreed to accept the
arbitration of the Interior Department.
Guy himself will keep faith, but it is
doubtful whether he can prevent his
partisans from breaking out in open
violence. The most influential Chicka-
saw citizens supported Guy, and the
overthrow of his government is serious
blow, so they claim, to the best interests
of the Nation. In fact, some of these

The trouble with our present system in
the public schools is that it is too theoret.
ical, too little practical. Too many
branches Of study are cultivated to allow
of the reaching of the fruit of perfection

shorter than in the cities, is found learn
