THE INDIANS.
The Condition or the Race Showa
Marked Progress.

The special attention Of the congress IL
called to that part of the report of the Sec
rotary of the interior In relation to the five
civilized tribes. 1t Is noteworthy that tho
general condition Of the Indians shows
marked progress. But one outbreak Of q
serious character occurred during the year
and that among the Chippewa Indians OF
Minnesota. which happily has been sup
pressed While IL has not yet been prac-
ticable to enforce all the provisions OF tho
act OF June, 1885, for the protection Of tho
people of the Indian territory and for other
purposes" It Is having a salutary effect
upon the nations composing the five tribes.
The Dawes commission reports that the
most gratifying results and greater adj
vance toward the attainment of the objects
of the governments have been secured In
the past year than In any previous year.
I cannot too strongly indorse the recon-
mendation of the commission and Of tho
secretary OF the Interior for the necessity
OF providing for the education OF the 200
white children resident in the Indian terri
tory. III

No boy, no girl can ever come to be
utterly bad who remembers only love
and tenderness and unselfishness and
sweetness associated with father and
mother and the old-time home. Do
not care so much as to whether you are
accommodating money, so that you can
leave your children fortune. really
believe the chances are against that be-
ing blessing for a boy. But leave
them an accumulated fortune OF good
memories and inspirations and ex-
amples and hopes, so that they are rich
in brain and heart and soul and service
Then, if you happen to leave the for
tune besides, it will be shorn of its pos
sibilities of evil, and will become an in
strument for higher and nobler good. -
