The news which Gen. Morgan, Uni
ted States commissioner of Indian
affairs, brings from the arena of the
recent Indian disturbances is reas-
surfing. Gen. Morgan visited all of
the tribes concerned in the Messiah
craze, and declares that the ghost
dance is dying out and that there sis
absolutely no hint of Il possibility of
an outbreak or of any other
trouble" An expression of this ma
ture is entitled to weight. 1t does

it will yet appear that the threatened

Just reason to be thankful for the in
crease in pay allowed them for print
ing the supplements containing the
newly enacted laws. The public may
think this " a raid on the treasury,

was outrageously low-so low that
many of the publishers had stated
that if it was not raised they would
not issue the supplements this year.
After having the matter explained
in detail to them by u. Humphrey,
the legislature saw the unfairness
and readily allowed an increase, for

The Presidents message was read
in both houses of Congress, Monday,
and again demonstrates the level
headedness of Benjamin Harrison.
1t is replete with suggestions and if
Congress would receive the approval
of the people it will give attention to
many of the suggestions. There is
nothing blind or uncertain in any of
the utterances of the President. The
message has three great features
which are: L, its firm defence of the
tariff policy of the Republican party
?, its exposition of his ideas on reel
proeity; 3, and request, almost
amounting to demand, that the 51st
Congress take up and press through
the important legislation pending
