Lake Mohonk, N. Y. Oct. 24.-The
leading address at the Mohonk In
dian conference today was made by
E. B. Henderson, of the Indian b,i-
reau, on the problem how to secure
from lands allotted to the Indians in
severalty revenue by taxation for
the maintenance of the schools, high
ways, etc.
The white population of the Indian
Territory. the speaker said. was at a

Indians, and these can only be main.

taxation. He did not believe that In

TINS of INSCRIPTIONS whites, being
excepted.
The school population of the Indian
Territory was stated to be about 600 :
600 whites and $4,000 Indians. and
the children of whites have fewer ad-
vantages than the Indian youth and
are growing up in gross ignorance
and vice.
Miss Alice Robertson. of Muskogee,
referred to the deplorable conditions
OF the insane and other dependents
in t territory for whom no prOvis-
ion could be made under territorial
laws.
resolution was adopted asking
congress to make some provision as
soon as possible for extending school
privileges to whites of the territory.
A platform presented by Dr. Ly-
man Abbot was adopted which de.
clares:
In dealing with the Indians, the
objects to be accomplished are no
longer questioned. They are the
abandonment of the reservation sys-
TEN; discOntinuance of Indian agen-
cies: such education of all Indian
children as will fit them for self-sup-
port and self-gOvernment: access to
the courts for the protection of their
rights; amenability to the law in pun
ishment for their crimes: the same
liberty that white men enjoy to own,
buy. sell, travel, pay taxes and re-
joice in good government, the bene-
fits enjoyed by taxed citizens.
The best methods to secure these
results are not wholly clear, but the
experience of the past points to the
following concessions: The agency
should be discontinued in all cases
where the land is ready for settle
ment. and the Indians. when neces-
sary, should be temporarily placed
under the care of bonded superin-
tendent with limited powers and the
policy of the Indian bureau in this
direction Is strongly commended.

ARRoR DAY IN NEBRASKA.
The Governor of the State Issues a
Proclamation.

Governor Mickey has issued the
following Arbor day proclamation:
The recurring spring season is again
at hand. bringing with it that holiday
which is distinctively of Nebraska
origin and which has here received
it's most complete recognition.
The observance of nearly all public
festivals is actuated by motives of
sentiment, but Arbor day is commem-
! Grated because of the practical value
and utility of the acts which emanate
| from it. Through it's benefcent infiu.
{ ence Nebraska's treeless plains have
been dotted over with beautiful
groves, affording grateful shade dur
ing the heat of summer, protection
from the blasts of winter, fuel for
| home consumption and which have
also had a marked effect in making
the climatic conditions more fayora-
bic for agricultural pursuits. The
denuding of the natural forests for
numbering purposes has occasiOned
physical disturbances, study of the
effects of which are more or less ag-
itating the scientific world, but it is
certain that any resultant injury can
be neutralized by the systematic con-
servation of remaining forests and
the planting of trees in harmony with
that progressive spirit of the times
which takes into consideration the
needs of the future as well as of the
present

Workers of America, made the follow
ing statement regarding the award of
the strike commission:
The award of the commission as
based on the demands of the United
