INDIAN SCHOOL DISCUSSIONS.

Quite a collection OF Indian School
literature has accumulated since the pub
lie discussion opened between the Catho-
lie Indian Bureau and the Office of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Being
a question Of national interest we give il
sufficient attention 10 enable our readers
to review it briefly on both sides. De
spite the protest to the contrary. that
there is no politics in religion, there is
strong evidence that the Indian School
question Will be worked for all it is worth
in the next campaign, to excite preju
dice aud religious feeling and to gain
revenge. IL will remain strictly re.
liglOus question on one side, but not strict.
ly party question on the other. as yot
ers ofboth parties will be divided upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of intrudiug sectariau affairs
in any department of the government
service If the Catholic Indian Bureau
is right in its demands aud management
of Indian affairs. then there Is no use tC
waste millions on government officials te
do the same work and if the Indian De
partment is the proper administrative
agency Of the Institutions for which the
people S money is appropriated, then the
Catholic Indian Bureau is a foreign in
termeddler with our popular form oil
government, and Commissioner Morgan
will be sustained in his stand against
transacting any further business with
religious officials who perform no worl
for which the government pays out the
money for Indian education.

sent to the uuchristian and defamatory
cause of rampant anti -Morganism that
has followed him from the Catholic In

questioning his character and public

him at every step,-really moral and

TIE lRIsH WORLD RIGHT.

The gratifying announcement is now
made that Cardinal Gibbons has opened
communication with the Commissioner
with view to finding cut the real cause
and merit of the dispute with the Bu-
reau at Washington. and to effect better
understanding. The wtll-known broad
views and conciiiatnry temperament of
the Cardinal makes the annot nceul ent
of his having undertaken pes sonal in
vestigation of the matter par ticuitrly
I gratifying. He is universally recognized
as in thorough touch with American in
stitutions, and seeking only Justice and
equal liberty TO all. And as the Indian
+ Commissioner emphatically denies and
disclaims any desire to discriminate
/ against the Catholic Schools, which form
an important factor in the education
and civilization of the Indian children,
there should, therefore, be no difficulty
in coming to an agreement, as all at
tempts to make this question the subject
4 for newspaper controversy and often
sive interviewing can not fail to work
injury instead of good. We shall be
pleased to be able to record the success
of the good Cardinals ipterposition and
the smoother working of the system on
the lines laid down by Congress and ap-
proved by the most experienced friends
of Indian educatiou.-IriShI World.
ORIGIN OF THE INDIAN BUREAU.
+ The Boston Pilot reprints from the Bos-
ton Herald, an article on the origin of the
Indian Bureau, and endorses it as a fair
source of information. The Indian Bu-
reau came into existence during Gen.
Grants second term, when Catholics
put IN claims for thirty-eight agencies,
and secured eight. This led to the calling
of a meeting by Arch. Bayley and the ap.
pointment of Gen. Ewing as the first
Catholic Indian Agent, The Bureau
was regularly organized in 1874, and
chartered in 1881, Its objects are to fur
Their the best interest of the Catholic In
dian Schools. The third council of Bal
timore placed it in charge of Commit

ing along the road when 6 poor man APP
preached, and pulling off lis hat asked for

full stop and refused TO move for either
coaNing or threats. This was awkward
for the young man, who had no money,
and the horse seemed TO be waiting for
something; but bright idea seized him.
He plunged his hand into lis empty pocket
and pretended to take out some money
and made a motion as if putting it in the
poor mans hat. This he had no sooner
done than the animal trotted on again.
After going on for some distance another
beggar pulled off his hat, and the horse
again stood still. This tine Zelteur was
prepared for the occasion, and pretended to
put money in the mans hat; the animal
went on his way quite satisfied. The wine
was duly delivered TO the clergyman, and
Zelteur, having encountered during the
journey several mendicants, all of whom
he induced the horse to pass by pretending
to give them something, returned to Kos
ciusko and told him he would never ride
his horse again unless he also lent him his
purse.
why so?" asked Kosciusko. And then
the young man, much to the generals
amusement, narrated the incidents of the
journey and how he was obliged to pretend
TO give something to the poor beggars in
order to satisfy the horse.

An Amazed African.

There Is nothing which causes SO much
wonder in the mind of the savage as the
arts of reading and writing, and many
amusing tales are told Of his inability to
understand how talking paper" works.
An African named Mungo was once sent
by one missionary to another with a pres
ent of cocoanuts. As it was hot day and
he was thirsty. he ate two of them by the
way. When he handed over the others to
the missionary, what was lis astonishment
to hear the latter remark after reading the
note that accompanied the present, How
carelessly you must have carried the bas-
ket; twenty nuts were sent and here are
only eighteen"
As the missionary did not make much of
it Mungo did not enter into particulars,
but he was greatly puzzled. 1t was evil
dent that the note had given the informa-
ton, for as soon as he read it the mission
airy counted the nuts, and 50 the perpleXed
messenger concluded THAI the paper had
been watching him all the time that he
committed the theft.
Shortly after he was sem again On a sim
liar errand, but on this occasion he was de-
termined to circumvent the fetish paper"
and so before helping himself to the three
fine, feslfy nuts, of which ne made a meal
on the road, he hid the teltale letter I'M
der stone and retired TO some distance
from it. Having finished his repast he
went back for the note, aud entered with
confidence the missionarys house.
All the nuts here dis yere time, massa,"
he said jauntily.
Except the three you ate coming along"
answered the missionary after consulting
the note.
Mungo's amazement was now beyond
the power of words to describe, and from
that day forward he might have been
trusted with uncounted cowries, if only
scrap of fetish paper we're sent along
with them.

kosciusko's HORSE.

How This Animal Gave Indication OF

There is a story told of precise old gen.
tleman who, having purchased pony for
driving, was annoyed by the animal STOP
ping at every public house which he passed
in his drives. The pony gave sure indica-
ton of the habits of its former owner.
The horse of Kosciusko, the celebrated
Polish general, appears to nave had diff
ferent training.
When the Polish leader was living in
exile in Switzerland he wished to send
few bottles of choice wine TO clergyman
who dwelt at Solothurn. He intrusted the
wine TO a young man named Zelteur, lend
ing him his own horse on which to per-
form the journey. Young Zelteur set out
with the basket of bottles and was canter-
