A Bible Goes with this Story.
81. Louis Republic

Ever hear the story" said well
known sport to The Man About Town,
''of the origin of the appellation chest
nut-Sorrel,' as applied u horses OF a
certain color? Well, away out in the
mountains of West Virginia, in years
gone by, there lived a very eccentric
old man named DeemS-Eli Deems
who occupied log cabin sur
rounded by few acres of land,
which he managed to plant in corn
and turnips every year, assisted
by his wife and an old horse. This
horse was pressed into service by a
squad OF cavalry during the war, and
ridden so hard that his back was badly
hurt by an old saddle. When Eli got
his horse home again he set to work
doctoring his back, but all to no avail;
the sore got worse and worse until Eli
was advised to shoot the animal. no,
said he. I'll be dodgaSted if do. I'll
turn him out in the chestnut flats and
see what natur' will do for him,
About five years afterward met Eli
near his home while out hunting one
day and made special inquiry about
his beloved old horse-did he die or get
well? Eli took me down 10 his rail pen
stable, about half a mile from where we
stood. and, without saying word,
pointed with pardonable pride to the
same old horse, a little older and
grayer, but still quite a plug
on his back was the queereSt
looking wooden saddle had ever seen
and when asked about it, Eli answer
ed me thus: Chestnut burr fell in thai
old war sore, took root, growed into q
tree, out of which | made the rails t
build Peter his stable, an then | whit
tied the stump down to the saddle you
see on his back, an reckon it'll last "a
long as men Nancy air able to ride ole
Pete ter mill"
A Bible goes with this story.

The LORD LOvETH A CONSUMMAIE LIAR.

The New MEXICAN quotes the following
from the Optic, published to the detri
ment Of Las Vegas and San Miguel
county in Las Vegas. The items quoted
are credited to the New MEXICAN:
"The Santa Fe force at Las Vegas, is
being reduced, owing to a falling off in
the freight business. y
CHEAT is so scarce in Munich that the
authorities have ordered the slaughter of
dogs for food purposes. What pity
that Las Vegas is so far away from
Munich. NEW MEXICAN.
The New MEXICAN is entirely too busy
generally doing good for New Mexico as a
whole, and every portion of it in par
ticular, to pay any attention to the lies
and ISLANDERS published about its editor or
itself by the sheet in question. The
editorial force of the sheet is beneath
notice anyway; one can not well play
with pitch without being deiiled. There
is but one thing, however, to be no.
ticed by this journal in this instance.
Inc items copied above from the Optlc as
having appeared in the New MEXICAN are
consummate, cowardly, deliberate and
wilful fabrcations by the Optic; they
never appeared in the New MEXICAN.
The man or men who caused their pub
LEGATION know them to be fabrications and
know that they uttered a lie when they
published that these items ever appeared
in the New MEXICAN.
The matter otherwise is of no material
interest either to the people or to any one
else; men Of the stamp of the editorial
and hurt no one but themselves and the
community sufficiently unfortunate to
contain them.

The INDIAN DEPARTMENT,

The former occupant of the Indian COM
missionership, J. II. Oberly, was q CEN
trailer of the most pronounced type, and
under his administration of affairs, no
doubt with the sanction of Mr.. Cleveland
by whom he was appointed, he built up
system in managing Indian affairs
which has come down as a present heri-
tage of a most unfortunate, not to say,
worthless nature. 1t was Oberly who
inaugurated the plan Of red tapeism
which now constitutes one of the weak
points in the administration of Indian
affairs. We refer to the matter of re-
quiring all agents and uperintendents OF
educational institutions to be constantly
harrassing the commissioners office for
| permission before they can make the
smallest movement toward improving the
| service or facilitating the work of the
Indian bureau in their respective loCali-
ties. We are informed that under the
Oberly system, which, we are sorry to
say, yet largely governs in the commits
sioners office, the agents and superin-
tendents Of schools are not permitted
any latitude whatever in the manage
merit OF affairs. They have to 20 to
Washington with everything and for
everything, thereby causing delays that
are not only tedious but blighting upon
the general welfare of the Indian service.
There ought to be marshalling OF the
forces in this department that would not
require that the subordinate officials lay
all their petty burdens upon the commits
sioner's office.
The agents and perintendents should
first be carefully selected as to fitness and
then thrown largely upon their own re-
spOnsibilities, consulting frequently with
the head of their department and having
ample general instructions to guide them,
but at the same time being made to feel
that they must be ever watchful of the
governments interests without recourse
to the commissioner only in emergencies
and without undertaking to shift the
blame upon distant shoulders when they
themselves should bear the burden in
case matters go wrong. Under such
system We believe the subordinates in
the Indian department would, as rule,
be brought to far better understanding
of their duties than many of them seem
now to possess; or, if possessing them,
are timld in the exercise thereof. Such
plan would, it strikes US, also relieve the
commissioner office of many vexatious
matters at present necessarily encoun.
tered. In the Indian department, as in
the ordinary affairs Of life, every tub must
stand on its own bottom; every man must
do his duty and feel that he alone is re-
sponsible for it. This subject is respect
fully referred to the authorities that be.
