Rev. NJ. Savage of Boston announced to
his congregation at the church of the Unity
last Sunday morning his decision to remain
with that church and not accept his call to
Chicago. There was a spontaneous out
burst of applause when this announcement
was made, which showed in what esteem
the great preacher is held by his people.
The Boston Herald, in expressing its graft

Boston, says with truth that Mr.. Savage's

Senator Cullom's course in regard to the
silver pool is in sharp contrast with that Of
Don Cameron. Owenby, the silver pool
agent, testifes that when he approached
Mr.. Cullom and told him of several con
gressmeu who wera in the scheme the Sen
ator stopped him at once, telling him that
he never specialized, and that be would al
low no one to carry silver for him. The
Boston Record well says that his stern and
contemptuous treatment of the peddling
broker ought to put the man who looks
like Lincoln higher than ever in the coun-
trN's asteem

The latest move of the silver men is TO
attempt to force free coinage upon the
country by lacking a free coinage rider on
to the pensions appropriation bill. Senator
Stewart Of Nevada sprung this scheme on
Wednesday by moving an amendment to
the pensions bill exactly in the terms of
the free coinage bill which recently passed
the Senate 1t is expected that this amend
ment will he adopted by the Senate, in
which case a vote on the question of free
silver will be forced on the House Sho lld
it pass the House, the Democrats and silver
men say, the President will then have to
choose between giving the executive APP
proval to free coinage and vetoing a bill
which provides for the support of thousands
of veterans and of the widows and orphans

The Lyndonville journal gives this week
an excellent report of the seventh annual
Woman Suffrage convention held at that
place last week Thursday and Friday The
proceedings were evidently of much inter

were given to the Methodist church for its
advanced stand in regard to the right of
woman to the suffrage, special recognition
being made of the pledge given by the an
nual Vermont conference of that church,
held in Brattleboro last April, to lend its
aid to the suffrage movement before the
legislature. Mention was also made of the
fact that the result of the vote in the Meth
odist churches of Vermont on the question
of the admission of women to the general
conference was majority of 6S5 in favor
of such admission. The main address of
the occasion was made Friday evening by
Hon. Henry Ballard of Burlington

THE INDIAN TROUBLES,
Father Francis Graft Writes An
other Letter.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 3O.-TSpe-
oial]-Eugeno T. McAulifre, OF this
city, yesterday received a letter dated
Pine Ridge Agency, March 80, from Rev.
Father Francis M. J. Craft, the Indian
missionary who predicted the recent In
dian troubles, and who himself was shot
at Wounded Knee. In the communica-
ton Father Craft earnestly points out
the danger Of more serious trouble unless
the Indians are placed under control of
the War Department
He says in part: '.As the case stands
now, the causes OF trouble still exist,
ana the Indians and whites are at tho
mercy of any rascal who finds it to his
interest to annoy and endanger them.
The only thing that stands in the way
OF speedy and permanent settlement Of
all dlfhculties by the immediate trans
Ter OF the Indians to the War Depart
ment, is the desire of politicians to re-
tain plumber.
AS these politicians are our public
servants and in our power, we, Amer
lean citizens, should use that power to
turn them out of the offices they have
abused to our loss and disgrace, with the
people rest the remcdy,and on them will
rest the blame if they will not stir them
selves.
Every word that have said for tho
past year has been verified and more
than verified, and think it is now time
tor Americans to say what they are 60
ing TIC do. The American people are
responsible if they fail to act at once,
Tor the evils that will certainly follow.
IF the Indians arc not to DO trans
ierred to the War Department., but are
to be further robbed and abused, sun
pose | must prepare for another dose of
lead and steel, which will, hope, be
more effectual than the last. l am
heartily sick and tired of witnessing
the miseries that cannot correct, and
sharing suffering of unfortunate In
dams and brave soldiers who are forced
into the conflict, and thon slandeled by
cowardly politicians who slaughtered
them"
