Fate Of Men Elocutionists.

The college men who are paying so
much attention to oratorical associa-

is simply elocution, and elocuticn has
ruined many man who might have
made IN honest living. As soon rs a
man learns to recite pieces at amateur
entertainments it it about Us good as
settled that he will become a reform
or walking delegate or something else
worthless. Elocution leads to public
speaking, and, as rule, public speak
ing leads to anarchy, loafng and ruin.

Terrftory-secretary Morton's State
ment of Exports and Imports.

WASHINGTON. Aug 15.-W. ~. Hailman,
superintendent OF Indian schools. came In
to-da- from FL Reno, where he has been
attending a convention of teachers in In
dian schools I'm the Southwest. Mr.. Hall
man said to-day that there Is not an Indian
tribe In Oklahoma which is not able to
take care of itself In the main by labor.
and he takes the position that the aid be-
ing given the Indians by the government
Is an actual injury TO them. He says that
It is useless TO educate the Indians and
send them home during vacations to be
surrounded with lazy parents. who are be-
ing fed by the government. The Cheyennes
and Arapahoe Indians are citizens of the
United States: they vote at elections and
at the same time they are getting govern
government supplies If they could get them,
but II would be an injury to them, as
II II to the Indians. The Professor says
the Indians should be made TO work for
q living where they have land suited to
AGRICULTURAL pursuits, and the method now
in vogue IS a great injury TO the Indians
themselves. but does not offset the work
of the schools. II Is understood that the
Indian Office is likely to take new de-
Preparations by Congress for support Of
Indians. The plan will probably be to
place lump sum to the credit of the Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs. to be used at
his discretion. in cases where Indians
should work for a living or are rendered
unable to do so by sickness. and in this
way force the Indians TO be self-sustaining.

His Remarks About ExtradftfOn of
Fugitives WrOngfully Construed.

RALEIGH, n. c.. Aug. 15.-Matt Ran
som, United States minister to Mexico, said
to-day that he expected to be well enough
to return to his post Of duty in about two
weeks. His appearance is in every way
hearty, but in spite of this. the minister is
not unmindful Of his late attack. The
minister, In the course Of conversation,
expressed the greatest regret that the re-
port of an alleged criticism by him of the
Mexican government had ever had any ex-
istence. In speaking of Mexico. he had in
variably expressed a very high opinion of
fits present administration, of the President
and of his Cabinet. 81 have the sincerest
admiration" he continued, "for President
Diaz. and have cherished a warm friend
ship for Minister Mareschal. who has been
most considerable to me in every way during
my stay in Mexico. have never uttered
word which / conceived could be construed
into derogation of any official in Mexico.
cultivate the most friendly relations with
Mexico and her people and 1t. would have
been a serious error for me to have said or
done anything that would disturb the con-
fi,i-nce between the TWO governments:
never had thought of any corruption or i'm
propriety on the part of the Mexican Off
Gals. But said the minister, with a
manner perfectly free from any acerbity,
II do not think that the statement emanat
ed from malice. 1t may be possible that in
in reference to the extradition of fugitives
from justice from this company used some
expression to the effect that citizenship
was the first and highest element of good
government, and that no country could af-
ford to have that great right established
by anything like fraud and doubtless ex-
pressed great confidence that upon full con-
sideration the Mexican government, sensi-
tive about it's honor, would not maintain
that its citizenship could be obtained by
any but the most approved and honorable
method. Some inadvertent listener to some
remark of this kind must have construed
the fraud alluded to as applying to Mex
lean officials and not to the miserable de-
vice of the fugitive who had employed it.
I have frequently said that it was impos-
s.ble in this age that any country could al
low fraud to be the road TO the nestimable
right of citizenship, but all occasions
have spoken sincerely in the highest terms
of ability patriotism and honor of the
Mexican government ard its officers"
