Is the present administration in
sympathy with these methods?
Does it really mean to say to the
ambitious youths of this and other
reservations:
We desire to encourage you in
the laudable effort you make to
elevate yourselves intellectually,
morally, and socially; we desire to
see you possessed, if you desire
it, of all that the present age can
teach you, to see any amongst you
cultured and refined, but you must
not expect this government to
give you opportunity to apply in
any way your culture and educa-
tion. You may study the profess
sions, become lawyers, physicians
and teachers, but you must be con-
tent to stand aside and not enter
into compe tition with any white
person or politician who wishes to
fill these positions amongst your
people,
The glory of white man is one
thing, that of a red man another
something inferior. BE con,
tent therefore with your knows
ledge and culture, but do not ex~
pect to put them to use in any OF
the positions in the Indian school
service for they are not enough OF
these positions to provide for our
political henchmen.
Can this be what the august
government desires? II SO is it
not an unkindness to educate the
Indians? Is it not wanton cruelty
to permit him to elevate himself
and thus to create longings and as
pirations he is not permitted to
reach? One may say, the world
is wide and is open to any one
wherein to exercise his desired
vocation. Yes, but consider the
bitter prejudices, especially on the
frontier, and in the vicinity Of his
reservation, he would encounter,
and tell us whether he would be
apt to succeed in the world he is
hidden so seek?
The past has been a trayesty on
justice, a mockery Of beneyolence
and philanthrophy. The Indian
has been met everywhere with
bawdy intolerance, and for the
sake of political effect, or for the
satisfaction of ncpotism has been
outraged in his own land. In the
name OF justice we demand are
we going to have change! If
not, then esay to the government.
YOU should at least be considerate,
repeal your laws which profess to
aid the red man. invoke the aid of
prejudice, and the power of might;
put us down and keep us down.

AN INDIANS VIEW,
70 THE ToMAHAwK:

The recent exodus OF
some of our young people under
the charge of teachers of non-res-
ervation schools, for the purpose
of acquiring knowledge beyond
the rudiments, furnishes an as'~
mirable text for a few remarks
upon the persistant discrimination
which the officials of the depart
ment of Indian affairs are making
against members of this reserva-
ton in the appointments to posi-
tions of trust and emolument in
the government service in the
Chippewa country.
The theory of the government
which deports our youths of both
sexes, is that the fitting them NOR
ally and intellectually for y q
higher walks of life; in OF h I
words to afford them the opport-
unity by contact with superior ed
ucational and social environments,
of acquiring a higher edncation,
and ease of conventional deport-
ment. They add to this theory,
the hope that these young people
will become useful to their tribe
by imparting what they ha V G
learned to the younger generation
either by direct teaching, or by
force of example.
Something akin to this has been
the profession of the government,
since by law residents of reserva-
tions are given preference over
| whites in respect to employment.
Such is the theory, and such is
the law, but what really has been
the practice? Practice has been
the reverse of theory. We have
some strange expositions OF law
questions. Some years since IN
response to an inquiry upon this
subject an Indian inspector said,
Everything being equal, the In
dams or. mixed blocks have the
preference, and yet he failed to
state wherein the inequality lay.
Members of this and other res
ervations in this state, have re-
peatedly applied for positions IN
the Indian school service, persons
known to be morally, intellectually
and practically equipped for the
positions they desired, but were
met with either outright refusal.
evasion or procrastination which
made the heart sick"
| A favorite method, and one we
may say uniformly adopted, is
that of preferring some sort OF
charge against the applicant, prin
/ cipally that of incompetency; the
gents or superintendent o.
schools so report and their words
are taken as law, and no opportu
| nifty is offered TO prove the con
trary.
In some instances,a a half hearted
proffer of employment in othel
positions than those asked for, ha
been the result; and for the pur

''Whcrever the soldiers of the army arc

week ago. Then regular Uncle Josh took
my car for the first trolley ride in his life

for few minutes and then beckoned to me
and said:

feller.'

THAT didn't satisfy him for more than
three minutes. l saw a doubtful, puzzled

said policeman to Star man today.
There is a youth just versing on man
hood who patrols the section every morn
ing, regularly, going into the yards and
calling out at the top of his voice that
he will do any Kind of work for one cent
Tile territory covered by this strange
character extends from I'D street to Mas
sactisettS avenue. Sometimes he goes
little below or Il little above this section,
but usually he confines himself to these
limits. He was first noticed little more
than a month ago, and since that time he
has not failed to appear on any day eX-
cept Sundays.
He goes into the yards Of apartment
houses the janitor seldom making any
objection. and loudly bawls a list of things
them: Blacken stoves, beat carpets, cean
rugs. wash windows. make the beds. wash
the dishes, wash the dog, clean beds of
bugs. scrub the floor.
II Will do anything at all for one
penny.
The youth is apparently in earnest, and
when any one taking compassion on him
will throw out a coin. he will invariably
ask: DO you want any work done?
lie seems loath to take the money with
out giving its equivalent in work, thus
plodinS the theory that some formed at
first that he was merely playing on their
sympathy. Some awaited themselves of his
services out of passion at first. but
they have found that he does his work
well and now they do not see how they
could get along without him.

The broker who buys must then receive
the stock and give certified check for the
full value thereof as measured by the sell

The exchange in 1872 established clear
ance system by which it has been possible
to eliminate majority of the actual deliv-
cries. just as in the bank clearing house it
is possible To reduce the number of pay
ments by a system of equitable elimua-
tionS. This stock clearance system is sim
Pile enough. but it is not easy to explain
In few words. Sufficient to say that.
while it reduces the number of deliveries,
it does not abolish the principle of delivery.
Every stock exchange transaction is
tcna tide one. There is an intent to deliver
in every instance. That principle is stead
astly maintained. The business between
the members of the exchange is strictly
cash business, involving full payment on
delivery. and there is a delivery of stocks
in precisely the same way there is a
delivery of cotton sheeting when the mer
chant in Worth street buys of the mill. in

Strict rules risidy enforced. safeguard
every step of the progress of a stock ex-

high degree of business honor. Fraud is
punished by expulsion and minor offenSes
by suspension or fines. Failure is follow
ed by suspension. and no suspended mem

he has paid all of his creditors in full.
