Gen. Sherman's Talk on the In
dians.

The wisdom of the Brooklyn New
Englanders in allowing Gen. Sher-
man to choose his own topic at the
dinner recently, was made manifest
when the old warrior gave them a
talk on the Indian question that was
full of wit and fuller of common
sense.
The Indians have been systematic
ally abused and robbed by the govern
ment Of the Uuited States. He show
ed that for every Indian now alive
the government has provided whole
section of land, not to speak of the
supplies that are issued to them
and he insisted that from the very
beginning the United States have
been forbearing and generous to
these people.
In the second place, the General
insisted that ihe Indians ought to be
given into the control of the War de-
partment, or else that department
ought not to be called upon at all.
AS things stand now, the Indians
are managed by somebody else in
time of peace, but when trouble
arises the army is called in. This is
like the domestic government in some
households, where the mother has en-
tire control until there is need of
sterner discipline, when the father is
called upon to administer punishment.
The results of such a system-or
want of system-are as deplorable in
national affairs as they are in house
hold.
But the Indians are no longer chill
dren. They are Of age and they
ought to be treated like men. There
are only two alternatives-eit the
army must take charge of them and
keep them under stern discipline all
the time, or else the tribal relations
must be broken up and the Indians
taught to recognize their individual
responsibility as citizens before the
law. A great deal has been done
during the past few years, and es-
peciaIly by the present Administra-
ton, toward the solution of the In
dian problem on this latter line of
of action. There can be no doubt
that recent progress has been in the
right direction, but for the Indians
who still continue wild nothing would
be so good as the direct control of
the army.

for more than thirty years. He was
a classmate of Mr. Depew and Judge
Brewer at Yale. For the last fifteen
years he has been a United States
Judge for the Eastern District of
Michigan. He is but little past fif-
ty years of age. He will bring to
the exercise of the important duties
of his new office an ample training,
an unsullied reputation, signal abil-
ity and long experience. This is
fresh illustration of the high average
excellence of President Harrison's
appointments

The Cut in Sugar Duties.

Henry A. Brown of Massachusetts
the noted sugar tariff expert, has
been in Washington for several days
comforting with leading officials and
members of Congress about the great
cut in the duty on sugar, to go into
effect next April under the new Tar
iff law, and its effects on the revenue
of the cOnntry. Mr.. Brown insists
that the loss of revenue from max
ing sugar almost free, together with
the bonnty to be paid to sugar pro-
ducers in this country, will amount
to $40, 100000 year. He is clear
ly of the opinion that it will be found
advisable and that it will be duty
of Congress to restore fully three
fourths of the present or old duty
on sugar and discontinue or repeal
the bounty feature of the new law.
He has no doubt that the rapid in
crease in production of sugar in this
country will very soon cheaper per-
manently the price of that article to
American consumers and that sus-
tanned duty on sugar would be
powerful factor in treating with su-
gar producing countries for recip-
rocity.
Mr.. Brown says his opinion and
views on this matter are shared by
leading Republicans in and out of
Congress conversant with the sub
ject, who are not unmindful of the
demands that are likely to be made
upon the Treasury to meet the large
ly increased government expendi
lures for pensions, the new navy ,etc. :,
in the nearfuture. More money will
have to be raised somehow to meet
this increased government expendi-
ture, and it need not be looked for,
he says, from customs revenues in
view of the reduction of tariff taxes
on many articles and the extended
free list found in the Mckinley law.

Hon. E. 2. Walton.

Hon. E. p Walton died at his
home in Montpelier, after an illness
of about year, caused by partial
paralysis. Hon. Elikim Persons
Walton, son of Gen. Ezekiel Parker
Walton, was born in Montpelier Feb.
II, 1872, and recefyed-his early edu-
cation in the grammar school of
Montpelier and in the newspaper Of
flee of his father. He studied law
for a time, but in 1888 became a
partner with his father in publishing
the Vermont Wdtcnehdn and State
Journal at Montpelier, becoming in
1853 sole owner of the paper, which
he conducte / till 1868, when he sold
it to Joseph Poland & Son. He was
until quite recently editor of Wal
toms Vermont Register, also of the
second volume of the State Histori-
cal Society's collection, and wrote
eight large volumes of the doings of
tue early Governors and Council of
Vermont. He was an active Repub-
lican and IN 1858 first represented
Montpelier in the Legislature, and in
1856 was elected Representative in
Congress, being three times elected
to the place, when he declined long
er service. In 1874 he was elected
State Senator and served until 1878.
He received honorary degree of Mas
ter of Arts from the University of
Vermont and Middlebury college,
was President of the Vermont Editor
and Publishers Association from the
organization till 1881, and of the
Vermont Historical Society for years.
He was an ardent Congregationalist.
He had been twice married, but had
no children. Probably no man in the
State was better posted on the histo-
~ of Vermont than he. He was quiz
ct, unostentatious gentleman, kind
friend and good neighbor, and es-
teemed by all with whom he came in
contact.

Vermont's Centennial.

The one hundredth anniversary of
the admission of Vermont into the
Union will be celebrated at Benning-
ton August 19, 1891, in connection
with the dedication of the Benning-
ton battle monument. The legisla-
ture made suitable provisions for the
combination of the governor, lieuten-
ant governor, speaker of the house,
ths state treasurer and secretary of
state. The act makes it the duty of
the committee to invite in the name
of the state of Vermont, the nation
al government and the states of New
Hampshire and Massachusetts to
unite with Vermont in the dedication
and celebration. Furthermore, the
committee is to issue in the name of
the state all invitations to invited
guests and is to call the annual en-
campment of the national guard of
Vermont. 1t is discretionary with
these officials what amonnt of money
to spend. The occasion promises to
be one of great dimensions and in
terest, and is expected to rival the
celebration of the centennial of the
battle of 1876. 1t is expected that
President Harrison and cabinet and
the governors of large number of
states will be present. The state
militia will be encamped for eight or
ten days on the spacious grounds of
the soldiers home. We are glad to
see that the legislature concluded to
keep the states colors up.
