ANNUITY PAYMENT.
Il viii Be Made This Month.

Agent Michelet says that he ex-
poets to make the annuity pay
ment to the Indians on this reser-
vation after he returns from Du-
luth on or about the Goth of this
month. He has been subpoened
to attend the October term of the
United States district court at Du-
lnth, and upon his return from
there he intends to Immediately
commence paying the annuities.
The amount which will be paid
per capita to the Indians this year
will be a little over five dollars.
The agent, who has examined
the matter, says it will take the
Indians about eight years longer
to repay the excess which was
paid to them during the first six
annuity payments that were made
under the act of 1889, so that they
need not look for any increase in
their annuities until after the ex-
piratjon of that time.

Death of David Weaver,

David Weaver, one of the first

at Redwood last Tuesday while
enroute to his home on this reser-

Weaver was born at the old vii
lage of Crow Wing,in Grow Wing

he lived continuously until he re-
moved to this reservation. His
father was Sim. Weaver, vet.

WHO CARES FOR
EXPENSES.

A special to the Minneapolis
Journal from Cass Lake, announ-
ces that William O'neil, recently
appointed as superintendent of
logging under the Morris Act, has
decided to make Cass Lake his
headquarters, and that Earl Mc=
Claiche Of Ashland. Wis, has
been appointed as Mr.. O'Neil's
chief clerk, and that the latter will
arrive at Cass Lake in a few days.
The commissioner of the general
land Office at Washington, who has
charge Of the administration of the
Morris Act, evidently does not
care for expenses, for notwith-
standing that the logging opera
tions cannot be commenced until
after the sale Of the pine timber
next December, both the superin,
tendent of logging and his clerk
will, in the mean time, be drawing
salaries for doing nothing.
The men who will draw the sal-
aries are not to blame for this, for
they, no doubt, have simply obey
ed instructions by going to Cass
Lake at this time although there
is nothing for them to do there.
It was a great mistake that the
Morris Act was not SO amended as
to allow the Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs to have exclusive
charge Of the Morris Act, for the
Indian Office sometimes has some
regard for the expenses which are
paid out of the Indian funds while
the general land Office does not.
and has never seemed to show any
desire to practice economy where
such funds are concerned.

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION. !.

Regardless of United States laws
and treaty stipulations, the mem
bers of this reservation do not
seem to be considered in the ap-
pointment of employees to the vari-
Gus positions in the government
boarding and day schools of this
reservation.
In recent issue of the ToMA-
HAWK, a number of good appoint
ments to school positions were
noted, but in the list not one name
Of member of the Chippewa
tribe of Minnesota appeared.
It seems unnecessary to state
that all, or nearly all, Of the new
appointees were either from Wis
consin or Michigan, for Commits
sioner Jones does not know, ap-
parently, that there are some per-
sons outside Of those states who
could fill some of the Indian ser
vice positions, or that there is a
large number of deserving, COM
petent young men and women,
gra d ua tes S from government
schools, on this reservation who
could fill any and all of the posi-
tions in the Indian schools here.
Congress appropriates large
amounts for the education OF the
Indians, and passes laws to give
them the preference as employees
in the Indian service of the gov
ernment. but these laws are, ap-
parently a dead letter to the In
dian Office. Furthermore, t h e
funds that have been appropriated
since 1889, for the Chippewa In
dian schools in this State, are re-
imbursable from the sale of the
ceded reservations and the pine
timber thereon.
Therefore, every member of the
t r b e is contributing a certain
amount from what would have
been his per capita share of the
proceeds of these sales. for the
maintenance of these schools.
For this reason it is not more than
their right to demand that the
members of their bands should
have the preference in the employ
ment of those who are paid from
the tribal funds.
The discrimination that is prac-
ticed on this reservation against
it's members. should be presented
to Congress in the strongest man-
ner possible with the view to Sc
curing such legislation as will
compel the department to recog-
nize treaty stipulations and United
State laws in regard to the en-
ployment of Chippewas in the
schools that are being maintained
with their tribal funds.
Little council proceedings and
hotel bar-room criticisms when the
matters discussed are not carried
any further, will avail nothing
and the only way that justice may
possibly be secured is to appeal
direct to Congress.

ANENT The
MORRIS ACT.

We learn that the fullbloods at
the Twin Lakes, Gull Lakes and
Pine Point settlements on this res
eryation, are holding councils in
regard to the Morris Act, with
the view to protesting against
some of it's provisions to which
they are strongly opposed.
While the opposition to certain
portions of the act, which relate
to the forestry proposition, has
always existed among the chippe-
was, it remained for the lumber
men to bring out some other i'm
portant Objectionable features.
The lumbermen undoubtedly
have some personal and selfish
motive back of their opposition
to the act, and it is all bosh for
them to say that this opposition is
based solely on behalf Of ''the
poor Indian.' This statement is
enough to make an Indian dog
laugh. Whoever heard of lum-
herman wokring to protect pine
timber interests OF the Indians.
However, the lumbermen have the
means and the inclination to OPP
pose an act which seeks to rob the
Chippewas Of Minnesota of half
q million of dollars, not including
the cost of burning the debris of
the numbering operations, which,
they say, will Indirectly and ne
cessarily come out Of the Indians,
and this for the purpose of carry
ing on the forestration expert
ments therefore we earnestly hope
they will succeed in securing o
postponement of the sale Of the
timber under the act.
The l,lmbermen say that their
only objection to the act is in re-
gard to that portion which COM
pels the burning of the tops and
slashings'' of the timber cuttings:
that with this eliminated from the
act it would be acceptableto them.
They further state that it is im-
practicable to burn these tops and
slashings without great trouble
and expense; that no practicable
jobber would accept a contract
from them with this proviso in
without increasing the price at
least two or three dollars per
thousand feet over the ordinary
numbering operations.
The Morris Act has never been
discussed by the Indians as it is
now being discussed among them,
and they are just beginning to
learn some Of it's provisions. We
do not hesitate to say that there
are not a dozen fullbloods among
all the Chippewas of Minnesota
who know tie full purport of the
act, and we believe there will be
gen neral dissatisfaction if not
trouble among them when they do
learn it's full meaning.

tc the Finance Committee, and Will be
reported favorably In all probability.
It was offered by Mr.. Hicks, OF Monroe

CAPTAIN MCCARTHY
Committee Declines to Listen
to Further Criticism
from Him.

There was another lively time In the
joint meeting of the Committee on FL
nance and the Board of Sinking Fund
Commissioners yesterday afternoon.
which resulted In the declination OF the
body to hear Captain Mccarthy read the
authorities upon which he based his criti-
cism Of the opinion of the City Attorney
in the matter of the proposed bond issue.
The City Accountant presented plan
to the conmittee.in line with papers he
has heretofore read. and 1t was ordered
printed.
The committee did not take final action
on any proposition further than to order
the clerk to give out for publication the
opinion of the City Attorney and the City
Accountants criticism thereon.
When Captain McCarthys report had
been presented, he arose and asked the
privilege OF reading the authorities and
citations used in making up his answer
TO Mr.. Pollard, and this provoked lively
debate Captain Mccarthy said II allowed
