Smallpox.

Caldwell don't want Bryan and
Brenham's smallpox. The country
people who come here to do their
trading not only get goods at the
very lowest figures, but run no risk
of contracting this loathsome dis
ease. Caldwell Chronicle.
It is unkind of the Chronicle to
try to turn to account the misfor-
tune of Brennan and Bryan by init
mating that if you come here to
trade you will be exposed to small
pox. The only case that has been
here was promptly isolated and is
now convalescing, and people COM
ing here will be no more liable to
come in contact with the smallpox
than they will at Caldwell, except
by reason of the fact that they will
meet more people here. And as to
getting goods at the every lowest
figures" it stands to reason that
with SO much more competition, ad-
vantage in railroad facilities, ETC.,
Brennan can furnish goods at fig
ures equally as low. The one mild
case of smallpox here is creating no
alarm among our citizens, and as far
as we know has kept very few, if
anyone, from coming here to do their
trading or to transact any other
business they wanted to. Caldwell,
however, can make the most of this
incident to draw trade, for in day
or two Brenham's case will be well.

THE SOUTH AND WEST.

The Boston Advertiser sees q
strong tendency toward sectionalism
in Congress, and is very much
afraid that the South and West are
going to join forces against the
East. 1t notes as among the ques-
tons upon which the South and
West are united, the following:
"The dominant feeling in the
West and South is in favor of free
coinage. 1t is also opposed to the
passage of the elections bill. 1t ia
vors large appropriations for open
ing up the wator ways of the Missis-
sippi Valley; and the Farmers ALI
ance, which has worked such havoc
in the political conditions in both
those sections, is practically united
on its political policy.
1t is afraid that the Republican
will not be able to hold its members
against this new sectional feeling,
and it notices that while ''only few
of the Republican Senators from the
Northwest have openly antagonized
the elections bill, all information
from Washington shows that the
majority of them believe that it is
not popular in their sections, and
that they are held to its support
only from a sense of party loyalty

INDIANS sw1NDLED BY ATTORNEYS.

hiram Hr1C6 III Guo 0DIudTy
Forum says the government is sup
posed to be the guardian of the In
dams, and as such is clearly under
obligations to guard their interests
and to protect them in their rights.
But under Section 2,103 of the re-
vised. statutes the practice has been
followed for years of approving con-
tracts by which outside parties have
taken from the Indians hundreds of
dollars. During the four years end
ing October 10, 1883, agreements
were entered into between Indians
and different attorneys, and were ap-
proved by the government, by which
these attorneys were to receive from
the Indians S755,121.29 for collect
ing from the government money
said to be due to the Indians. Now,
| it is very certain that if money is
due to any tribe of Indians, that
fact can be ascertained by some Of
fcer of the government who has &C
cess to all the accounts and to all
the treatise and laws made in pur-
suanee thereof, as readily as by any
other person; and it is certainly the
duty of the government to see that
the Indians receive, free of cost,
what is Justly due to them and that
no unjust claim is paid. The report
of 1883, which condemned this prac-
tice, recommended at the same time
that provision should be made by
law for the appointment of compe-
tent person to attend to all cases of
this kind. This would save hun
dredE of thousands of dollars to the
Indians, and would do no wrong to
any one; but for some unexplained
reason, this recommendation has
failed to receive favorable considera-
tion, and this feature of the bust
ness will probably trail along in the
old ruts until we learn that age
does not sanctify error.
Most people are under the i'm
preston that we are paying large |
sums of money every year out of the
public treasury for the support of
the Indians. It will doubtless be
surprise to such to learn that very
large part of the money appropriated
by Congress for the Indian service
belongs to the Indians and is held
in trust for them; 81 that in fact we
are, to that extent, merely giving
them their own. The regular Indian
bill generally appropriates about
S., 100000 But after deducting /
The money which the government
only holds in trust and the necessary
expenses of transportation and dis
