The Indian Problem.

According to figures taken from the
books in the Office OF the Commissioner
OF Indian affairs at Washington, the
fact comes to light that during the
twenty-five wears pas: or from the
first centennial OF our government in
1876 to the beginning Of the yeal
1871, the enormous sum OF 100000,
go has been spent on an Indian pop
ulatiOn not exceeding $4,000 souls
all told, or about 81 400 for each buck,
squaw and papoose within the present
States and Territories OF the Union
And yet, old Lo is lower down in
civilization and moral training today
than when he hunted and fished for
a living, a bowling denizen of the
wilderness. Now this is not very re.
assuring view OF the Indian problem
but unfortunately, it is the true state
of the case. After q detailed sum.
mary of the situation, Indian Com.
missioner Jones says in his last report
just published, Notwithstanding this
the Indian is still on the reservation
being fed; money is still being paid
to him, lie is still dependent on the
Government for existence, and he is
little if any nearer the goal of indie
pendence than he was thirty years ago
and if the present policy is continued
he will get little if any nearer to it in
the next thirty years to come" This
is indeed a discouraging report to
come from the highest source of in.
formation attainable within the scope
of our governmental system. The
Commissioner goes on to say that the
present Indian educational system is
an obstacle rather than a stepping.
stone towards the ultimate independ.
ence Of the red man as a citizen of the
United States. He also declares that
the indiscriminate issue of rations
the periodical distributions of large
sums of money, and the general leas'
ing of allotments tend only to render
the various tribes practically incapable
OF self-support.
Now, such an officer as the Com.
missioners of Indian Affairs certainly
ought to know what he is stating
when discussing a subject which
constitutes the special routine bust
ness of his official duties, and hence
the conclusion comes unbidden tina,
our present Indian system is radically
at fault, and little better than an in
operative piece Of expensive machin
cry. No close observer can fail to SCI
that the average Indian OF to-day il
the typical Indian OF hundred year.
ago, and that he is destined to remain
the same abject member Of q degener
ate humanity for all time to come, o.
80 long as he maintains a miserabl,
lease of life upon the face OF the
earth.
From the last census it appears that
contrary to what has been the genera
opinion, the Indians are growing nj
less in numbers, but that they are al
with us to stay.
Now who will rise and solve the In
dian problem?

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. ga spe-
cial to the Tribune from Kemmerer,
Wyo., at ten this morning, says: The
situation at DiamondviIle mine No. l.
is unchanged this morning. The sixth
and seventh levels have been sealed to
prevent serious damage.
The loss of life is still estimated by
the superintendent of the mine at from
forty to fifty, with no possible chance
of rescue. All are known to be dead
this morning.
The scenes around the mine are
heartrending. Mothers, wives, and
sweethearts were weeping and tearing
their hair in terrible agony. and all
efforts to calm them proved of no avail.
The loss of property will reach an
enormous figure, and the officials are
reticent. The amount and the names
of those imprisoned are yet unknown.
The cause or the fire is at present
unknown. The mine has been plugged
at the sixth level, about two miles
from the mouth.

Carnival week, the week before Lent
begins, is the gayest season in the re-

is thrown to the winds and it is sur
prising the license which is given the
half-world in some cities. In their

Of grand balls, to which invitations
were sent to every one whose name
she could obtain, regardless of station,

By some ruse, Juana invited the star,
COLUMBIA, and her mother to supper.
This consisted of the choicest viands
which the city could afford, and wine
was plentiful. While both the mother
and the girl were under the influence
of liquor, it is said that the willy Juana
invited them to the ball, which, upon
their arrival, was at its height. Upon
Columba's entrance to the gaily decorat-
ed ball room pandemonium reigned.

of the ball. Business men, scions of
