to the commissioners by DIR. Rhodes in

the Indians.
They seemed to have withdrawn very
largely from the schools and churches and
either to have become lost among the
whites or to have gone into isolated places.
Those remaining in sight had adopted
the vices of the white settlers. Still, the
Indians themselves. realizing their cond1-

the meat of the whole question. What
this country demands and what it
must have if the population do not
descend to the level of serfdom, or rise
to tine measure of revolution, is not
means to further increase their debts,
but the means to pay them and this
entails reversal of our public policy
from one of complaisance towards
money loaning influences, to the ex-
pansion of our industrial energies; to
the security and steadiness of its
property and products and the incomes
of its masses, and the rehabiliment of
silver as money. If such a process
would, in effect. repudiate half our
debts-which we do not admit will
be because such half is fictitious, and
exists solely through the dice-loading
legislation of the past thirty years.
Indeed. if reversal of policy does not
come soon and come radically, the
time for reputation of the entire mass
OF debts is possible contingency, be-
cause the condition is one of potential
national bankruptcy.

The Herald pointed out on Sunday

Editor Tribune:
Dear Sir-In this mornings issue of

reporter, who spoke about the meet
ing, and 1 asked him in a jovial way
how he obtained his information to
make such a report from, and he told
me- I said to him then and there that
the report given in his paper was not
correct, and 1 repeat it now. Yours
truly, B. T. LLOYD.
We have not the slightest doubt
that the other gentlemen named have
been misrepresented, and that if they
were sought out and questioned, it
would be developed 'that what replies
they may nave given to questions
have been improperly
construed. We base that opinion on
Mr.. Lloyd's case and the general
course of the Tribune in such matters.
The Tribune has once more put
itself in a hole by its overweening de-
sire TO sow dissension, and falling

ture the appearance of division in the
Democratic party and, what would
please it still more, some trouble with

We repeat, its account of the meet

they are proofs of the incorrectness
of its first attempt And the asser-
tons made about The Herald's posi- |
ton in reference to the resolutions
adopted, and its status as the organ
Of the Democratic party, are totally |
false and intended by the unreliable
and rash Tribune to mislead its
readers and vent its petty and malig-
