PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-The execu-
tive committee of the Indian Rights as
sociation met here Wednesday and for
mulated and adopted an appeal to the
citizens of the country in behalf of the
Indians. The appeal reviews the work
that has been done among the Indians

and the causes Of the present uprising
among them.
1t declares that the most important re-
quisite is single, responsible, compe-
tent head for the management Of Indian
affairs, who shall report to the president
directly. The Indian service should be
wholly free from the interference of
partisan politics, which shall continue its
policy undisturbed by changing admin

The appeal also recommends that army
officers be detailed to serve as Indian
agents and that sufficient money be APP
propriated by congress to permit the
education of all Indian youths, and the
maintenance of thoroughly effective
service

Eagle Pipe Tells What's the Matter with
the Reds.
The newspaper correspondent had an
interview with Eagle Pipe, in which a
number of facts We're asCertained regard
ing the big talk with the general.
Among them was the novel one that the
Indians demauded-the abolition Of the
Rosebud agency, the establishment of
one more general and the selection OF
Pine Ridge us suchagency.
The reason they advanced for this
radical move was the fact that the In
dams were continually moving from
one egency to the other, contrasting the
methods of each and longing for the
comforts of Pine Ridge as compared
with the many disadvantages which
they claim to have experienced at Rose
bud. This proposition by Eagle Pipe
who. by the way. Is one of the most III
fluential of Rosebud or Brule chiefs,
said Gen. Miles had promised to con
slider.
He also stated that they would at
tempt to control all their young men and
would talk 10 them on the subject When
he should return home. He said aIso
they had been recently indulging III the
ghost dance, hut there were only few
Of them and that they generally discon-
tinued it when he advised them to do 50.
Took No Chances.
In anticipation of the camping of the
hostiles on the west side of the agency
Gen. Miles has ordered the strengthen
ing of the breastworks around the Ogal-
laia school. all of which command the
proposed camping grounds. Gen Colby
and Buffalo Bill. of the Nebraska Ma
tional guard. had a talk with Gen Miles
Yesterday regarding the return to their

New BWidInq Association.

\ charter has been obtained and
call issued lin another column for
stockholders meeting on August Bird,
to organize the Potomac Permanent
Building and Loan Association.
This is Il local association, to be con
Quoted substantially on the plan Of
our present and former ones, which
have here and elsewhere proven quite
satisfactory.
The shares of stock will be $3.50 each,
payable, besides small membership
fee, in weekly dues of pc. share
There will, however, be one new
feature, which experience has led to
believe will be an improvement, and
that is the permanent" plan, or
provision for issuing new series Of
stock from time to time aS the de-
mand therefor may justify.
Building Associations besides prov
ing fair investments, are good saw
ings institutions, and in addition quite
beneficial in enabling many persons
to acquire their own homes who could
not otherwise do so. And the more
extensive the membership, the more
general the benefits.
This is home enterprise, which
will keep the money in our own com
munity, and we urge our people to
take stock. The directors will be
elected by the stockholders them
selves, who thus have it in their own
power to select entirely safe and pru-
dent hands into which to commit its
management.
The incorporators ANY Of whom
will receive subscriptions invite all
who desire stock 10 subscribe at once,
and attend the meeting and take part
in the organization. We trust it will
receive prompt and genera support,
and we would be glad to see more OF
our country people than have here
tofore done so, come into this as
ISOLATION. The proper and best time,
is to start ar the beginning. SO give the
matter early attention.

LIFT Your Hat to Her.

The Harvard Journal has the follow
ing good word for the primary school
teacher:
Lift your hat reverently when you
pass the teacher of primary school.
She takes the little bantling free
from the home nest and full of his
pouts and passions-an ungovernable
little wretch, whose own mother ad-
mits she sends him TO school TO get
rid of him. This young lady. who
knows her business, takes IA whole
car load of these anarchists, half OF
whom single-handed and alone are
more than a match for their parents,
and at once puts them in the way OF
being useful and upright citizens.
At what expense of toll and weari-
ness? Here is the most responsible
position in the whole school, and If
her salary were doubled she would
receive less than she earns.

Very Good-m Its Place.


The stone dust or gravel that comes
from the railroad company's stone
crusher here is being extensively
used about Shepherdstown. The
cemetery company has engaged a
hundred and fifty loads of the dust,
which will be put upon the walks
and drives in Elmwood. The pave
ments on many of the side streets are
being made of the same stuff, for
which purpose it answers very well
There is some talk of using the gravel
for making sidewalks on Main street,
but this, we think, ought not be done.
The sidewalks on Main street ought
to be of brick exclusively, and now
that the grade is to be established
we hope that our Council will see to
it that good sidewalks are laid. Don't
put gravel walks on the front street.
