FoRr RENO. I. T.. July 22.-At the
meeting of the Indian council yester-
day it became apparent to the Commits
sioners that it was impracticabIe at this
time to induce the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes to part with their surplus
lands on the terms of the contract sub.
mftted to them for signatures.
While about one-half of these Indians
have signified their willingness to sell.
they decline to do so unless they are to
receive the $500, 900 in cash payments
individually, which would be about $50
for each man, woman and child. The
Commissioners realize that this money
if paid as above would do the Indians no
good and that it would be squandered,
gambled or thrown away and declined
to accede to this demand for a
cash payment. but persisted in their
stipulation that it should be paid out
under the direction of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs for the improvement of
their allotments and the betterment OF
the condition of the Indians They
have repeatedly shown the Indians that
it is to their interest to have their part
of the sum paid out to them in the man
ner specified. but it has been impracti-
cable to make them see it in this light.
The Indians no doubt have been in
fuenced to the determination not to &C
cept the terms of the contract by
| designing white men who would for
selfish motives like to see this money
paid in cash.
The Commission has labored long and
industriously to effect purchase OF
these lands at this time, but have now
concluded that nothing more can be ac-
complished at present and have decided
to adjourn for awhile to give the In
dians time to think the matter over and
will return again in a few weeks to re-
new their negotiations.
These Indians have for the last seven
teen years been receiving from the Gov
eminent gratuity averaging $780, 600,
which had been paid out for rations un.
der appropriations by Congress. In addi.
| ton there has been paid them S3S, OOO
annually in accordance with the terms oil
the treaty of 1857, which was spent
| for clothing, farming utensils, etc. These
several payments will be continued for
seven years longer. and yet with all this
! aid from the Government these Indians
have made so little progress that some
upon the reservation depend upon draw
ing the weekly allowance for subsist
ence, hence the Commissioners have in,
sisted that this money must be used for
improving their allotmsnts and they
would at least approach self support,
otherwise they will become a public
charge upon the whites that may settle
upon their reservation. This want of
ability on their part to prudently use
money is evidenced by the fact that the
several sums recently paid to some oil
the head men were squandered in less
than a week.

Citizens and Politics.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 22.-CardinaI
Gibbons in an addressed congratulation
to the congregation of St Vincent's
Church Sunday, used these words:
"When we find the most upright citi-
zens taking no interest in politics,
showing no zeal for the good gov
eminent of the country, we may
expect political stagnation and cor
ruption But when the best citizens
manifest interest in public affairs we
have good government and the honest
administration of public trusts. 1t is
the duty of every man to take an active
personal interest in the welfare of his
country, and to see that the best citi-
zens are elected to public places"
