PENDLETON ON INDIANS.
What He Would Do With "Lo. the Poor
Indian"-Capture All the Wild Ones.
Srscidl 7sleorG.n 10 the Register.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., February u
Congressman Pendleton was among
those who spoke in the House to-day on
the Indian appropriation bill. In his
short speech he took occasion to criti-
else the policy OF the Government In
dealing with the Indians, and said that
policy has been scontrolled by senti-
ment rather than by common sense and
sound business principles.
lie believed that too much money was
being voted away to support the Indians
In idleness, and that 1t would be better
for them and more Just TO the taxpayers
OF the country il all the lndiads were
given land, compelled 10 settle down on
it and made to earn their own livinss as
other people had to do.
He thought il was about time that
the sentimental, phIlanthropist and
humanitarian doctrines were compelled
to stand aside, and n practical business
policy adopted by the government in
it's dealings with the red men. He
thought the appropriation bill under
consideration carried too much money,
and gave notice that when il was dis
cussed for amendment under the live
minute rule, he would have some
amendments to offer TO some items in
the bill.
Mr.. Plckler, of South Dakota, inter
rnpted Mr.. Pendleton TO ask what he
proposed to do with the Indians.
Mr.. Pendleton answered that he would
employ force enough to capture every
wild Indian in the country Dlace them
on lands specially reserved for them and
would then compel them TO till the land
and earn their own living.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.
Congress Gets Down to the Real Bust
ness of Legislation.
THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL
Under Consideration in the House-Mr Watson,
of Georgia, and Mr.. Funston, Of Kansas,
Talk Back at Each 0ther-C0n-
gresham Pendleton's
Speech.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February IT,
The House has fairly entered upon the
consideration OF the appropriations, and
the second bill of Importance was to-day
taken up-the Indian appropriations.
Immediately after the introduction OF
the bills and resolutions the House went
into the committee of the whole, Mr..
Bynum, OF Indiana, in the chair, on the
Indian appropriation bill.
Mr.. Stockdale, of Mississippi, criti-
cised the appropriations for the Indian
school a. Carlisle, Pa. The Indians
were as well able TO work as were the
people he represented, black and white,
and yet his people we're taxed to pay for
the transportation of Indians In palace
cars to Carlisle.
Mr.. Watson, of Georgia, said that his
heart was bleeding with sense Of the
distress of the people he represented,
but his voice could never be raised in
this hall against fair, liberal and wise
appropriation for the red men Of the
West [applausel. What his people
wanted was not Stinginess in the treat
ment Of other people but justice TO them
selves. He was frequently interrupted
by Mr.. Funston, OF Kansas, whom he
dubbed Farmer Funston, and the col
loquy between the two gentlemen was
amusing.
Continuing Mr.. Watson attacked the
National Banking laws, and many OF
his statements were contradicted by
Mr.. Funston. One of Mr.. Funston's
queries was "does the gentleman mean
TO say that the government loans
money to National Banks for the pur-
pose OF circulation?"
There is no gentleman who has
heard me that does not understand me"
was Mr.. Watson's terse response. APP
plauSe. Tf you show this House" )"
continued Mr.. Funston, "that the gov
ernment has loaned one dollar to
National Banks for the purpose OF cir
cdlating, will resign my seat in favor
of Democrat" Applause.
SThe indnCement is very great, re-
torte6 Mr.. Watson, amid increased mer-
riment and Democratic applause. "The
best bulwark of constitutional govern
ment was in the hearts of the people and
in a government that recognized no
special class or section, but did the
right thing, whether to the red man,
the black man, or the white man."

PILLsDuEY IS SARCASTIC.
He Advocates the Passage of an Anti
Option Bill.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
hearing before the House Committee on
Agriculture, on the anti-options bill,
was resumed this morning. Mr.. Charles
A. Pillsbury, the Minneapolis miller,
was on the stand.
In his address to the committee Mr..
Pinsburg advocated the passage OF an
anti-options bill. He said that the own
ers of the immense wheat fields Of the
Northwest had less to say about
the price of wheat than some
young man bowling prices on
the NChicago Exchange, who, per-
haps, could not tell the differ
ence between q grain of wheat and a
grain Of barley. He (Mr. Pillsbury) was
one OF the largest buyers OF actual
wheat. but his buying had less actual
effect on prices than some one at the
wheat pit whose effice was in his hat.
All persons agreed that the bucket
shops should be wiped out. The differ
ence between the bucket shops and the
Chicago Board of Trade was that in the
former 90 per cent OF the sales were il
legitimate and in the latter 90 per cent
were illegitimate. He believed a bill
could be drawn which would prohibit
illegtimate dealings without interfer-
ing with legitimate.
Mr.. Lewis-Doesn't the value OF
money have a great deal TO do with II?
Isn't money worth more than ever?
Mr.. Pillsbnry-I think as whole the
dollar will buy more goods now than
ever.
Mr.. Lewis-If we had 81, 500, 600, 900
instead of $3.50, 900, 900 in circulation
would not the farmers get more for
their wheat?
Mr.. Pillsbury-More nominal dollars
but perhaps they would not buy so
much.
Mr.. Lewis-It would give the farmers
more iebt paying capacity.
Mr.. Pinsbury-Oh, yes.
Mr.. Lewis quickly retorted-'Thati is
what is the trouble with them, is 1t
not?'
There was q general laugh in the
committee.
In reply to further question from
MIR. Lewis, Mr.. Pillsbury admitted that
short selling alone would not account
for 1t. as the decline In wheat was too
great to be chargeable TO one cause
alone. Brokers had said the short
selling" was necessary, but there was
no short selling in real estate. nor In the
dairy business, which overshadowed all
others.

THE COOLEY GANG TRAPPED.
Their Lair Invaded by an Armed Force,
Yet They Escape.

UNIoNTowN. February 1.-TWO more
OF the Cooley gang are in jail. Police
man Hartley, of Fairchance, captured
and brought down this evening Dick
Cooley, brother of Frank and Jack,
and Sam Yeager, an idaho desperado,
who recently joined the Cooley band.
This makes four now in jail, but the
leaders are still at liberty. These were
arrested for the robbing of young Roo
inson, whom they compelled to dig his
own grave, as they told him, before al
most choking him 10 death by hanging
him to limb of a tree.
The greatest excitement was caused
to-day little after noon by the corner
ing OF Frank and Jack Cooley and Jack
Ramsey, the desperate leaders of the
Cooley gang, in coal bank near Smith
field. The gang had been doing some
stealing at Farmer Sutton's, near by.
A posse of nine men, armed with Win
chesters, was formed this morning and
the men traced so the bank.
A man was sent TO bring Sheriff Nc
Cormick, but while he was gone the
three desperadoeS came out and the nine
armed men and forty others present
failed to stop them. Many shots were
fired, and for time it was a regular
skirmsh line fight. No one was hurt,
and the Cooleys walked away unharmed.
Sheriff Mccormick arrived on the
scene half an hour after the Cooleys had
got away, and madder man has not
been In the upper end OF the county In
many days. He told the people they
either wanted the Cooleys to get away
or were cowards and to take their
choice. All efforts to head the desperate
men off were in vain.
The only one Of the crowd OF would
be captorS who did not seem to be awed
by the reputation OF the ,Cooleys was
V. NJ. Holmes, boy, who ran after and
repeatedly shot at the retreating forms
OF the Cooeys while the rest of the
farmers took refuge in a stable some
distance of.
After the escape search Of the mine
was made and it was found to be we'll
supplied with provisions, blankets, cook
ing utensils and other articles OF conve-
nience necessary for winters home.
The numerous raids Of the Sheriff on
their mountain retreat no doubt in
duced them to change for subterra-
mean rendezvous. The excitement is
intense and the citizens are fully aroused
and il the gang does not leave the coun-
try within a few days and is not cap
tured IL will be a wonder.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February IT,
A very remarkable story is in circula-
tion here tonight and il comes 70 the

source that little doubt can be enter

Ii is to the effect that within the past
few days Mr.. Blaine has declared his
readiness 10 accept the nomination Tor

manner that he can do so without COM
promising himself in the light Of his re-
sent letter TO Gen. ClarksOu.
In other words, he will accept II he
ls nominated by the convention spon-
GaneOusly, as it wore.
1t aDears that Blaine has taken this
determination because OF his anger at the
manner In which he has been treated by
President Harrison, and those members
of the Cabinet who are engineering the
Harrison denomination boom.
Blaine is said % talk to his inttmates
with great bitterness against the PreSi-
dent and means to do all in his power
to thwart the Presidents ambition,
even II he does not gain for himself the
prize.
Blaine's close friends declare that by
the end Of April they will have demon
strated to Harrison and TO the country
that the President cannot be renOmi-
mated. They say they will show the
President he has gained nothing by
forcing Blaine's hands, as he has

bulldOzing Blaine into writing that let

Civil war is imminent in School Dlstrict

city to-day that dozen would be Killed
before the feud could be settled.
Along about the holidays the proprleiy
of diving the National colors from flag

broached, and It met with ready ap-
proval. The flag was purchased, but
when the pole was brought II was founa
TO be made of ash. One OF the puplle
objected TO the use oil TINS,
claiming 1t represented Republican
ism, while hickory represented Demo
cracy, and II it could not oe hickory, AT
least il should be made OF neutral WOOD.
This objection led TO discussion wnlch
spread beyond the confines OF the school
and it has engendered partisan feud
which spread throughout the neigh
borhood aud engulfed the town

ing and the quarrel has been taken mp
by their seniors, the Republicans threat

pole is used, while the Democrats clamor
for neutral wood. When the contro-
versy first broke out the Republicans
rallied aud erected the pole, out the
same night il was cut down.
Each faction lays the cutting down
upon the other, and this has sensitied
the feeling. The dispute ha spread TO
the newspapers OF the county, and has
even permeated the churches. Neither

can be learned the controversy is not
