increasing disposition to be on good
terms with Latin America. This is
one of the things that makes sena-
tors and representatives anxious to
take no hasty or unwarranted step
with respect to Mexico. Many mem
bers of congress feel, too, that for
cign war would hinder the solution
of important domestic questions and
prevent many reforms needed here
at home.
Probably, if it were felt the United
States could send an army into MeM-
co, administer punishment to certain
lawless elements, quiet things down
and quickly get out, there would be
little hesitation about intervention.
But most everyone at the capital

TEN, which will practically put the
independents out OF business, it being
conceded that they cannot possibly
hope TO bid successfully against the
Standard and other large interests.
1t also is pointed out that even
though the large interests offer the
most money at the present time for
leasing privileges, eventually, when
they have the territory in their grasp,
they then will be able to fix the
amounts paid to the Indians to suit
themselves.
Notwithstanding the present attl-

pendent producer or not. He declares
that wherever he can get the most
money for the Indians in leasing, the
company offering the largest sum
will be favored at all times.
Although the secretary's principle
that the Indian should be protected at
all times and his interests safe
guarded, is heartily agreed to by all.
it is declared that his policy of fa-

the independents is certainly wrong.
Senator Owen, who filed the pro-

he does not believe that the best
interests of the Indians will be haz-

To Sell Washington Letter.

London. Feb. 19.-What is said to
be a hitherto unpublished letter from
George Washington is listed for sale
at auction at Sothebys toGhy, togeth-
er with several letters of historic
interest The Washington letter, writ
ten from Mount Vernon, February >,
1850. comments on the first presiden-
tial election, which shows that the
methods Of that time were not vastly
different from those of the present
day. Washington said:
"All political maneuvers which are
calculated to impede if not to pre-
vent the operation of the new gov
ernment are now brought to close
until the meeting of the new con-
gress. Although the issue of all the
elections is not yet known, they are
sufficiently displayed to authorize the
belef shat the opposers of the gov
ernment have been defeated in al
most every instance. Although the
elections in this state are over, it
will BE- some time before the rep
resentatiyes to congress can be fl
nally announced. From conjecture,
however, it is supposed that ma
jority of the Federalists have been
successful Some are so sanguine as
to believe that seven out of ten have
been elected; but this. as already
said, is altogether conjecture, vague
conjecture, for much pains have been
taken and no art left unessayed to
poison the mind and alarm the fears
Of the people into opposition. In the
list of electors which is published
by executive authority in this state
there appear, so far as | am acquaint'
ed with the characters of the gen
tlemen, eight decided friends of th3
new constitution"
In the same letter he spoke Of
George HIS first attack of mental
arrangement, which occurred in 17SS,
Going back to the events leading L
the Revolution, Washington wrote:
Because of the British Kings in
sanity his situation merits commits
Grafton. Better, perhaps, would it
have been for his nation, though not
for ours, under the present prospect
if this event had happened at that
time"
