We give his closing peroration,
which is as follows
My friends, l feel profoundly in
earnest about this matter. feel
that upon the action of this con
gress rest the lives of these people,
the hopes of their children, the
personal safety of their women.
We cannot shut OI.r eyes TO the
facts as they present themselves.
1t is too late to discuss how they
got there. whether they had a right
10 go there or not. Certainly their
children are not responsible for
being there 1t is our duty to meet
the existing conditions and to
afford relief.
This congress ought to estab-
.ish an impartial tribunal to make
| valid roll of those Indians. Those
who are not entitled to be on that
roll-who have absorbed the prop
Arty of the Indians by bribery or
fraud-ought to be stricken off the
roll. Indians who claim that they
have been denied their rights ought
to be heard. They ought to be
permitted to establish those rights
if they can. When that is done
the lands ought to be surveyed. /.
They ought to be allotted in sew

such restrictions as congress in its
wisdom may deem proper. Sir,

not less than 5000 inhabitants, that
are now without government, with
out law They are simple monu-
ments of the progressive spirit of
the average American. Yet they
are without corporation laws. with
out health laws. There are no
restraints except such as may be
agreed to by common consent.
Shall we act promptly. fearlessly,
and give relief, or shall we stand
still and let these appalling condi-
tons continue -

Events Of the Coming Year.

The coming year will be a period
m emorable in the history ofthe world
if but part of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out. In the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held
and the Fifty-fourth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
viii be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress of the Ven
ezuelan commission 8 inquiry, the re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
IT is a remarkable coincidence that
at he beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
United States The st. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce its price to So a
year, or to less than two cents a day.
This low price now places the Re
public within the reach of everyone.
Those who wish to keep posted on
politics, trade, national and interna-
ti0nal affairs, during 1896, should at
once subscribe for it on these terms,
in addition to taking their own local
paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take a metro
politan daily paper, should at once
subscribe for the "Twice a Week"
Republic-104 papers a year, for only
ST year. 1t contains the best of
everything that appears in the daily.
