GOV. NELSON'S WELCOME.

At yesterday mornings session of the
Indian teachers institute the Interest
ing subject discussed. from the indus
trial point of view. was the lace II aklng
by class of ten Indian girls from Birch
Coulee. The girls were pupils of Miss
Sibsyl Carter, who has been for many
years a missionary among the Indians.
She studied lace making in Japan. and
has turned her knowledge to good &C
count in her work among the Indians.
She told the teachers that she was
working independently, receiving no
aid either from the government or the
churches. She had found i'll her mis-
sionary work that the great difference
between the whites and the lndi-
ans was that the former knew
how to help themselves and the latter
did not. but were perfectly helpless
when forced to take up tine ways OF
civilization. Miss Carter stated that
she first taught the art to the Chippe-
was and the Dakotas, and later on to
other tribes. She now has twelve
classes. which include pupils all the
way from twelve to sixty Years. The
Indians take readily to the work and
make quite a success of it. Miss Carter
contended that the reservation was a
bad thing for the Indian, as it kept him
In dependent state. She argued that
they should be taught to work lnde-
pendently among the whites and be-
come just the same as other citizens.
Supt. HailmaE delivered another lee
ture on methods in school work, in
which he contended that the teacher
was more of an artist than scientist,
iIasmuch as she, like the artist, must
always see in entirety, while the scien-
tist sees but the respective parts. He
claimed That in mathematics the child
should be given the whole number, and
from that it could find the parts.
Supt. RakeStraw, of Lincoln, Neb..
delivered an interesting talk on school
management, in which he dwelt par.
ticularly upon the need of greater har.
mony between the superintendenIs and
teachers and agents and inspectors.
The afternoon session was opened
with short address by Gen. Sanborn,
on THE Indian of the Past and Pres
ent." After the paper by Charles F.
Pierce. on "Playtime in Indian
Schools"
Gov. Nelson Was Introduced
to the teachers. He made few happy
remarks, in which, as the cnlel Repre-
sentative of the executive department

ubcommittee reported that Gov. Nelson
and Mayor Smith will issue proclama-
tions for the observance of Labor day,
as directed by law.
The general committee has divided
into sections for the purposes of detail
work, and will meet again Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock to hear reports of
progress. The trades assembly has
abandoned its special meeting tor to-

Representative Hit Of Illinois, who
was closely associated with Mr.. Blaine,
says that the proposition Of Mr.. Reed is
on the lines Of Mr.. Blsine's policy. The
latter was never fully spread before the
public, as it had scope which could be
developed only by patience and by slow
stages, and Mr.. Blsine's health during
his later days was not such a. to permit
him to accomplish the ends he had in
view.
"Mr. Reed now presents the PROPOSE.

"wheress Mr.. Blaine proposed passive
steps which tended toward the same
general results. Il was Mr.. Blaineis be-

will maintain their efforts to get tho re-
publioanB to agree to fx o date for Che

The outlook for the week in the house
Of representatives is 90 much in doubt
that . democratic caucus may be neces-
sary TO agree on plan Of action. The
state bank question has been debated
until the leaders are anxious for vote.
But the debate has shown the state
bank men that they are liable to DO do
feated by inability to agree on any one
Of the many plans discussed. AS the state
bank principle was incorporated in the
democr alto national platform the leaders
are loath to see the bill defeated, 90 that
CO ucus tomorrow or the next day may
be called for the purpose Of formulating
q party measure which will command
united support. 1t is probable that the
final vote on the bill viii be taken early
in the week, unless the whole question
10 allowed to 60 over until q caucus
committee can frame @ satisfactory bill.
The rules committee are considering
the sdvissbility Of giving one day to
Representative Cooper's bill for subject
ing RreenbRcks and Sherman notes to

these forms Of paper money are exempt
from taxation.
Chairman Holman OF the Indian COM
mittOe is pressing with the Indian Rp
preparation bill, and its consideration
viii come Immediately after the state
bank debate, unless Mr.. Cooper secures
an intervening day. The Indian bill
will be warmly discussed, as there is
disposition to question the wisdom Of
many Of Mr.. HolmRn's reductions. The
debate 10 expected to last week.
