BETTER LAWS FOR THE INDIANS.
AssEMBLYMAN wHIPPLE DESCRIBES THEIR
ANOMALOUS CONDITION AND PRO-
POSES A REMEDY.

Assemblyman J. s whipplc, Of Cattaraugus County.
who was in this city yesterday, asked by a
Tribune reporter 10 give his opinion on some Of the
important of legislation Of the present session.
lie said
We have, usual, ballot reform and high license
in tone somewhat modified, but to my mind there Is
subject in It's way OF equal importance, athouth but
little understood That Is the question of changes
and corrections Of the Indian policy Of this state. The
bill introduced by me will, believe, II II becomes a
law settle the question. and put our Indians upon "A
better and higher plane; will give them chance to
be somebody. which the present policy actually pro
hibits and denies them.
Their present condition is extremely peculiar. They
occupy almost every relation 10 the state and Nation
except the that they should. As II Is, II Is much
mixed matter all around. They claim TO lie SIX dis
tnct and independent allen nations with ndfpendeh,
yet they held 10 be wards OF the Naional Govern
ment or wards Of the state. Each 1Ibe IN rs own
government differs from all others. Ihcy hOli, own
and occupv tie land upon which they live, in varioG
WAYS and under different authorities.
All of these tribes governed in part by statutory
laws Of the state, some more some lcss Inc seneca,
have constitution adopted by the authority OF mo
State and consent Of thc National Govench a u,
them have what is known as The Icacclhahers 'out
which is rottenness ITSELF The whole social system
and life among most Of the tribes Is an WRONG u
should not longer be continued or allowed. The
schools do not accomplish all that they are intendri
ought to, although the superintendent OF Public
Instruction and his assistants have laborcd iard IN
people seem TO conncract the work of the day schools
i have moi time To go into this subject fully but
there can be no GOOD reason why this state should hot
at least follow IN the line Of the general Government;
Ii seems 10 me that want American ctizchs' not
Indians with tribal relations dctrmcnial'o themselves
and all good society. We want ana can ail0h' ~
chance to be men. They should hold their land IN
such way that each may feel and know that what
he he nas S 70 S them s Won OF and me- In c
they arc entitled 10 have every advantage and right
our laws. My bill seeks to bring these improvements
about.

Crop Reports.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-There is a
reduction of the condition OF all cereals
reported by the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture. The decline
from the first Of July to the first of
August is from 93.1 to 1873, in corn; from
94.4 to s3.2 in spring wheat; from s1.6 to
SO.1 in oats; from 1873 to 1913 in barley.
The condition of buckwheat is 9O.1 and
spring rye 96S. The condition of pota-
toes is reduced from 91.7 to TIA, fall of
20 points. The report indicates the dis
aster which has befallen the corn crop
within 80 days. The cause is the abnor-
mally high temperature of the central
maize districts with the insufticiency of
rain fall. The returns of drouth, which
cover broad area, show that the sever,
ty of the effects produced, are more gen
eral and depressing than the signal SER
vice record of temperatures appears to
indicate. One factor in the blighting of
vegetation is evidently the hot winds that
have scorched the lower basin of Mis-
souri, ant Ohio valleys. The change
from drouth to daily saturatlon by re-
peated and heavy showers has been too
sudden and extreme in those regions
where the drought has been relieved by
seasons of moisture.
