The delegates of the United States are under the
most liberal instructions to cooperate with their
colleagues in all matters promising advantage to
the great family of American Commonwealths, as
well in their relations among themselves in their
domestic advancement and in their intercourse with
the world at large.
My predecessor communicated to the Congress
the fact that the Well and La Abra awards against
Mexico have been adjudged by the highest courts
OF our country to have been obtained through
fraud and perjury the part of the claimants, and
that in accordance with the of the Congress
the money remaining in the hands of the Secretary
or State these awards has been returned to
Mexico A considerable portion of the money re-
celVed from Mexico these awards had been
PAID by this government 10 the claimants before
the decision of the courts rendered. Ny judg-
ment is that the Congress should return to Mexico

Inc latest papers at hand from Mexico publish
an interesting narrative of the excursion made to
some Mexican locality by the delegates to the PAN

PEACE AND GOOD WILL.

The death of Queen Victoria caused the people
of the United States deep and heartfelt sorrow,
which the government gave full expression. When
PRESIDENT Mckinley died our nation in turn re-
celved from every quarter of the British Empire
expressions of grief and sympathy no less sincere.
Inc death of the Empress Dowager Frederick of
Germany also aroused the genuine sympathy of the
American people: and this sympathy cordially
Teclprocated by Germany when the President was
assassinated Indeed, from every quarter of the
civilized world received. at the time of the
fresldents death, assurances of such grief and re-
gard as TO touch the hearts of people In the
midst of affiiction we reverently thank the
Almighty that we are at peace with the nations
OF mankind; and firmly intend that policy
shall be such continue unbroken these inter
national relations of mutual respect and goodwill.

MILITIA AND VETERANS.

Action should be taken in reference to the militia
and the raising of volunteer forces Our militia
law is obsolete and worthless. The organization
and armament of the National Guard OF the several
States, which are treated as militia in the appro-
priatons by the Congress- should be made Identical
with those provided for the regular forces. The
obligations and duties Of the guard in time of war
should be carefully defined. and a system estab-
ished by law under which the method of procedure
Of raising volunteer forces should be prescribed in

and haste OF impending war TO do this salts

are based upon the just principle that appointments

THE INDI4N.

In nv Judgment the time has arrived when
should definitely make up our minds to recognize
the Indian as an individual and not member
Of a tribe. The General Allotment act Is a mighty
pulverizing engine to break up the tribal mass. 1t
acts directly upon the family and the Individual
Under its provisions some sixty thousand Indians
have already become citizens OF the United states
We should now break up the tribal funds doing for
them what allotment does for the tribal lands that
IS they should be divided into individual holdings
There will be a transition period during which the
funds will in many cases have to be held IN trust
This is the case also with the lands. A stop should
be put upon the indiscrminate permission TO
Indians 10 lease their aotments. The effort should
be steadily to make the Indian work ike any other
man on his own ground The marriage laws OF the
Indians should be made the same as those OF the
whites.
In the schools the education should be elementary
and largely industrial. The need OF higher educa-
ZION among the Indians is very. very limited On
the reservations care should be taken to try to
suit the teaching to the needs of the particular
Indian. There is no use in attempting 10 1nouce
agriculture in country suited only for cattle rails
ing where the Indian should be made a STOCK
grower The ration system, which IS merely the
corral and the reservation system. Is highly detri-
mental to the Indians 1t promotes beggary, per-
uetuates pauperisn and stiles industry. 1t Is an
effectual barrier TO progress 1t must continue u
greater less degree as long as tribes are heroeo
on reservations and have everything IN common
The Indian should be treated as an InoiV1oual-iiAe
rhe white man. During the change OF treatment
inevitable hardships will occur; every enort shouIo
be made to minimize these hardships; but we should
not because of them hesitate to make the change
There should be continuous reduction in the num-
ber OF agencies.
In dealing with the aboriginal races few things
GRE more important than to preserve them from
the terrible physical and moral degradation result
ing from the liquor traffic. We are doing all we
can, to save our own Indian tribes from this evil
