A Divided Sentiment.

Little Agnes is twelve years old. She
is a poetess. She has, maybe, a sense
of humor and, positively, she did not
like her stepmother. On the. latter's
birthday the youthful rhymer put forth
all her powers to please the lady who
had usurped her own mothers place.
The quatrain ran as follows:
j thank you for your kindness,
I thank you for your love
And hope God will reward you
By taking you above.
Her stepmother hardly knew whether
this was to be taken prematurely or
not. She supposed not.-New York

UNFAIRLY.
A. 3. Clark of Rosebud, S. D., Makes
Protest.

Rosebud. s. D.. April 3.-The New
York Tribune of March 26 contains a
letter from y. II. Clark. missionary ut
the reservation here. dated February
-, il which he complains that the In
dian department is not treating the In
dians fairly in the matter of reductions
from their annuities to pay for cdu-
cation of those indian children whose
parents elect to have them educated in
sectarian schools rather than in the
government schools. He quotes Indian
Commissioner Leupp to the effect that
the Indians may contribute to sec
tartan schools for their own educa-
ton n the amount they contribute
may be deducted from their annuities
Whenever they understand clearly that
they are paying for their OWE educa-
ton outside of the government schools
\ telegram of instruction from thc
commissioner to the ndian agent at
Rosebud says: payment of contract
(for Sectarian SchoOling) Will be made
out of all trust and treaty funds named
In the petition to the extent of the
hares of the. petitioners and petition-
ers' children. the total of which will
be deducted from the total moun
of said funds whenever a distribution
Is mac thus reducing to such an eX-
tent the shares of all Rosebud In
dians."
Mr.. Clark gathers from this that the
payments to the sectarian schools are
to be taken out of the trust and treaty
funds and charged up to the Indians
regardless of whether they attend sec
tartan schools or not. This provokes
n protest from Mr.. Clark, who wants
to know IF there is a political or CO.
Jesuitical combination compelling the
sufferance of this rong."
Bishop Hare of Sout!, Dakota gets
into the matter by n communication
from Charleston, February IS. to Mr.
Clark, in which he says: MI. Leupr
called ON me last summer at Sioux
Falls and assured me that everything
would be aboveboard and fair here
after"
When these communications were
brought to the attention of Commits
sioner Leupp, he replied, outlining the
plan of utilizing the Indian trust funds
In payment of education at sectariar
schools and criticising quite severely
MIR. Clark II Bishop Hare for miscon-
cciving or misstating the plan Of the
department. He contends that it is
tin the urpos of the department to
allow the Indians. when they desire
to contribute to their own education
i'm the sectarian schools. but that it is
not the intention of the government
that any one who does not wish to so
contribute shall be compelled to do so
In view of this position assumed by
Mr.. Leupp. his telegram quoted above
does not clearly state his position. He
does not intend to make every indian.
pay pro rata for the s~ectarian edu-
cation enjoyed by comparatively few,
althoui he does not make his inten.
ton very distinct and clear in his tele.
