INDIAN SCHOOLS.

| The question of the government sup
porting sectarian schools among the
Indians has come up in the United
States senate in connection with the
Indian appropriation bill. The dis
position seems to be to discontinue
government aid to such schools. The
matter came up on Monday on Sena-
tor Carriers amendment striking out
the provision that appropriations be
made for sectarian schools. To this
another amendment was made direct
ing the secretary of the interior to
provide temporary schools for any In
dian children cut off from school facili-
ties by the closing of sectarian schools.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, how
ever, offered a substitute which we
are of opinion should prevail. The sub
stitute provides for contracts with the
existing schools for 1897 to the ex-
tent of so per cent of the contracts of
1885, It adds the following:
And it is hereby declared to be the
settled policy of the government to.
make no appropriations whatever for
the education of Indian children in any
sectarian school, just as soon as it is
possible for provision to be made for
their education otherwise, and the,
secretary of the interior is hereby d.
rected to make such provision the
earliest practical day, not later than
July l, 1898"
The reason why we think the sub
stftute of the Missouri senator should
prevail is because it will permit the
schools among the Indians to go right
on without interruption; and mean
time things educational among the In.
dams can be adjusted to the new
order of things that will be brought
about by the declaration of the gov.
ernment as to its future policy. that
the declared policy is right no one,
will doubt; as all are pretty well agreed
that government money should not be.
used for sectarfan purposes.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS ASSURED.

titan is TO be congratulated upon the
fact that the senate committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds reported ia
voraoly for the erection of two pub
Tic buildings IN Utah, one at Ogden to
cost $lSS,OOO, aid one at Salt Lake City,
the cost of Which is fixed at $500 600.
The favorable report of the commit
tee on this Proposed legislation, with
its recommendation that it passes, well
nigh assures Its enactment. Inciden-
tally the report of the committee quotes
the reports tfom the postmasters of
Ogden and Salt Lake, showing the
rapid increase in the postoffice re-
ceipts within The last few years, which
is one OF the very best tests of the
amount OF growth of our two chief
cities. The gross receipts of the Salt
Lake Office for 1885 were only S33, 500;
for 1885 they were s11S.156 At the Og-
den Office tht gross receipts for 1885
were $11, 14S; Tor 1895 they were s21, 96S,
showing an active increase in the bus
mess of the Bostal department in the
ten years, nearly doubling in Ogden
in that time, and in Salt Lake the re-
ceipts were more than three times
what they were in 1885. This is a
healthy growth
AS we regard the appropriation for
these public buildings as positively as
sured, we take occasion to congratulate
the Utah senators and representative
on their good work.

The late Phillips Brooks was great
lover of children.
One afternoon a curly-headed little fell
low, with black kitten under each arm.
with difficulty rang the bell of the house
on Clarendon street. When Bishop
Brooks came to the door. in answer to
the servants request, the little fellow
said:
Please, Bishop Brooks, won't you buy
one of my kitties? They're both Episco-
palian kftties, you know, and l s'Dose it
would be better for them to be brought
up. here. They'll cost just so cents
apiece
The bishop did not want the kittens.
but he gave the little boy a half a dol
lar to spend upon them and babe him
good by.
Next day Bishop Brooks had occasion
to call upon Rev. Brooke HEREFORD of the
Arlington street church. While the two
elergymen were conversing, the bell rang
and Mr.. Herford was told that a little
boy wanted to see him. Bishop Brooks
couldn't help hearing the same little voice
saying:
Mr.. HEREFORD, won't you buy one of my
kitties? This ones Presbyterian and
this ones Unitarian. 1 want you to take
the Unitarian one"
The visitor went into the hall.
How is this, my little fellow" said he.
"Didn't you tell me yesterday that both
of these little kittens were Episcopal
lans?"
The little chap frightened his hold on the
mewing kittens.
Eyes, Bishop Brooks" he said boldly,
81 did, but their eyes weren't open
then"-The Happy Thought.

regarding the attitude of the five Sc
cession silver senators. He is frank to
say he thinks they made a mistake. He
then goes on to state that the govern
ment must have more revenue, the in
ference being that the Dingley bill
would have Furnished that revenue.
That bill was condemned by Repub-
licans and Democrats, the greatest Re
publican daily of the intermountain
region clubbing it a fraud.
The governor says that free and I'M
limited coinage would not furnish this
revenue, because silver SO coined would
not belong to the general government,
but to the individuals who took the
bullion to the mints.''
SILVER so coined would not have be-
longed to the general government, but
unless all the theories of the advocates
of free silver fail. silver so coined, our
minis as open to the silver miner as to
the gold miner, would give such an i'm
petus to business and industries of all
kinds that the renewed prosperity
would have resulted in producing an
abundance of revenue. Governor Nc
Cornell can scarcely be a good silver
man, that is. silver man through
thick and thin, to utter such sentiments
as those above quoted.
The suggestion that before any fur
ther attempt is made to secure the
passage of a free coinage act that it
be ascertained by resolution or other
wise whether congress is in favor of
this government being run by depart
ments, according to the theories of the
heads of the departments, or whether
we shall have government under the
law, and that by all means let us have it
understood whether this is a govern
ment of the people, or whether it is
government of departments run in the
interest of money changers, is a piece
of mere buncombe, nothing more or
less. 1t is plain attempt to divert
attention from the real issue to that
which is not an issue.
The governor cannot but see that
the St. Louis convention will be for
sound money and protection. That he
should desire to have his state in line
with his party is natural and consist
ent. The touchstone of Republican,
ism is protection and can never be
made anything else. His judgment
that the five secession silver senator's
made mistake in defeating the Ding
ley bill is a correct one from a party
standpoint.
A further explanation of the views of
Governor Mcconnell takes regarding
the action of Senator Teller and his
confreres maybe that he has an ambi-
ton to represent his state in the
United States senate in place of Sena-
tor Dubois, one of the five secession
senators, whose term expires March 3,
1897.

w. E. RUSSELL AS a CANDIDATE.

The Democrats of Massachusetts
have met in state convention and elect
ed delegates-at-large to the Chicago
convention. While the convention did
not formally instruct that the delegates
support Ex-Governor William E. Rus
sell for the presidential nomina ton,
still it advised them to support him
for it. The advice will be taken in all
probability.
In many respects Ex-Governor Russell
would make an excellent candidate for
the Democratic party. He has been
governor of Massachusetts, twice and
proved himself worthy successor
to long line of distinguished govern
ors. He has executive ability of the
highest order, his character is of the
best, his ideals of the Hottest. He is
a young man, perhaps he would be con-
sidered too young for the great Office
of president, being scarcely forty years
of age, but young manhood is no bar;
in many respects it is an advantage.
strong advocate of it's fundamental
principles, and fearless in their advo-
cacy. The objection to him in the
minds of the western Democracy
would be that he is a goldbug. That
makes him absolutely unavailable as
candidate in their eyes, and as all the
indications now are that the silver
Democrats will control the Chicago
convention, Ex-Governor RusselPs
chances for nomination are not very
encouraging. In fact it is rather
doubtful if his chances for securing the
nomination, if the goldbugs control the
convention, will not be slim at best.
They will want a candidate from some
of the great states where the triumph
of the Democratic party would be rea-
sonably sure. Massachusetts is not
such state.
1t is not at all unlikely that the en-
dorsement of the ex-governor was
more by way of compliment than any
thing else, but complimentary or 9TH
erwise, William E, Russell is a man of
whom the Democracy throughout the
entire land may be proud, and it has
no office within it's gift that he would
not honor if elected thereto.

These are days when Murat Halstead
| of the Cincinnati Enquirer appears to
be enjoying himself in his editorial
work on the Enquirer. Referring to
the coming campaign and the probable
mixing up of things generally the En-
qpirer says:
1t will be merry war. The Demo-
Gratis will probably nominate Thurman
of Ohio, Matthews of Indiana, Boies
of Iowa, Blackburn of Kentucky, or

eide to become candidate in what
he considers the honest portion of the
party, or, III he shrinks from being
target he may force some cuckoo into
the collar. He could trust Patterson of
Tennessee, McCreary of Kentucky. or
Fairchild of New York.

Democrats who were unwilling to sup
port the regular nominee would, for
the most part, go into the Republican
camp, where their votes would count
for their cause.
Meanwhile, in the west, gold Repub-
leans and gold Democrats would go
about the streets with sOrrowful coun-
tenances, share each others woes, and
pool their issues with the acknowledged
leader of the gold party, while the sill
yer Republicans and Populists would
be running a race to get into the
camp of the regular free silver Dem
ocrats. Thus would political "stars-I

friends repelling each other. and old
enemies embracing each other, through
one long carnival of political recon
struction.

The campaign is likely to be one of
surprises If it assumes any such shape
as above foreshadowed. The comic
element from which the merriment is
to come would be the spectacle of the
president and his cabinet in search of
a party.
