TlinrsdaT, June 2'». 1879.
Thk three names most recently in-
•erihed on the American roll of fame.
Hanlon, Parole and Weston.
Hon. Glesdy Burke, one »f the
oldest and best known citizens of New
Orleans, died in that city a few days
ago.
Grant, it is said has scoured an enor-
mous Shanghai rooster, and is educating
the chicken to crow well by the time he,
Ulysses, is elected t' the presidency.
Cottos was firmer in New York yes-
terday. Wool was off a couple of cents
and the market w is ii active. Provi,
■ions were easier. Hides were firm,
oats were higher and wheat dull and
weak.
It is suggested that the batons of the
Ne . York police be stuffed like clubs
used by clowns and harlequins in pan-
tomimes. N o great harm could then be
done by the force to one another or to
civilians.
It is proposed to enact a law permit-
ting Indians to take up government
lands just as white men are allowed to
do. and to establish omcs. Anything
to keep them quiet, lu several st3tes a
few Indians have become good farmers
and own large tracts of land.
Tiie cheap rates at which American
meat is sold the other side of the Atlanl
tic causes much distress among the Eng-
lish and Irish graziers, particularly the
latter. They are under high rents for
their pasture lands, while they are
obliged to accept much less than formerly
for their cattle, sheep and swine. The
only remedy is a reduction t the rents.
This has been effected on some very
large estates, especially with regard to
those of the prince of Waies in the
duehy of Cornwall, and the properties
oi the duke of Beaufort.
Electricity bids fair to outrival
steam as a motive power. A letter to
Le Petit Journal, of Paris, states that
after several experiments the proprie-
tor* of the sug.tr manufactory at Ser-
maize, department of Maine, a few
months ago succeeded in unloading
their, beet-root boats by electricity at a
distance of three hundred feet from th«
facto.y. Wonderful as art: the applica-
tions of electricity, especially in tele-
graphy, the uses to which this subtle
agent can be put may be only iu their
infancy.
If mechanics and general laborers
would only consider the disastrous his-
tory of nearly all lar re strikes, they
would pause iu times of depression be-
fore resorting to such an expedient. The
Durham miners, by the strike only re-
cently ended, lost in wages no less than
$3,300,000, and, although they gained
one and a quarter per cent, better terms,
it will take them between nine and ten
years to recoup themselves, at that in-
creased rate, for their loss during the
strike. This does not include the in-
terest of money. No one can deny the
right of men to quit work: they are
masters of their own labor; but idleness
being a dead loss, it scarcely ever pays
to be unemployed.
A cablesram announces that prince
Jerome Bonaparte will publish a mani-
festo, declaring that he remains faithful
to the Ajaceio programme, in which he
proclaimed his republican principles,
and that he is not a pretender to the im-
perial succession. He also contends
that his dormant claims bar the succes
siou of any other pretender. That is
an untenable position; it is what thi
lawyers term a nort sequitur. A country
is entitled to a ruler de facto, if she cat
not get one de jure. The case is some-
what similar to a monarch abdicating.
If he does not abdicate in favor of a
particular person, the people would
soon select a chief, and would proba-
bly choose the heir of the abdicator.
It is generally supposed that for pre
cocity the American boy is entitled to
the blue ribbon; but he has a rival in the
German boy of the period, as will be
seen by the following extract from a
German paper. The occurrence refer-
red to took place on the '22d of May, in
the city of Bamberg, Germany:
The thirteen-year old son of a colonel of
this garrison got into bad company, and
did not even hesitate to tie seen with im-
proper persons in a tavern after dark.
The father, hearing of this, endeavored to
compel his son to jo home, but the boy
not only refused to obey, but drawing a
revolver, fired three shots at his L>arent.
Fortunately the bullets missed their aim;
but the iildignant and enraged father
drew his saber, and wounded the boy so
•everelyfon the head, that he died two
days afterward.
MANSERS IX REPRESEXTATIVE AS-
SEMBLIES.
Recent incidents have directed un-
usual attention to the liability of repre-
sents! ivc assemblies iu t he United States,
is well as other countries, To scenes of
personal altercation or riotous disorder.
Fortunately we are never called to note
either in congress or iu sny of our state
!<%'»latures an episode furnishing a
parallel to the fierce storms of uncon-
trollable turbulence which sometimes
break up the French assembly.
But unfortunately duets or solos
of personal insult or persona]
met'-ac are only too common alike in
oor- ress and In our state legislatures,
i'lie recent passage between senators
L .mar ant! Conkling has formed the
subject of extensive and various com-
ment. For the most part the comment
has been lamentably flippant and super-
ficial. Many editors anu correspondents
have made the affair the occasion for
dilating on old-time "plantation man-
ners," with the idea that those man-
ners were identical with bluster and
bravado, ribaldry and billingsgate.
Some have referred derisively to Mr.
Conkling as an ingrained and
enormously developed bully, who
undertook to outdo southerners in the
display ot plantation manners and met
with richly merited discomiiture at the
hands of Mr. Lamar. Mr. Conkling cer-
tainly deserved what he got, but it is a
gross slander to liken his manners as a
public man to the manners which the
true representatives of the southern plant-
ing element in the days of slavery car-
ried with them into public life. We may
refer to George Washington as the great
original type of such manners, without
pointing to more modern instances, as
that might seem invidious. The de-
meanor which accords with this type is
distinguished by composure, dignity, a
lofty suavity, and a tenor of speech
never sullied with scurrility. It is
also to be remarked that current criti-
cisms on rude and disorderly personali-
ties in our representative assemblies
seem to take no account of underlying
principles of parliamentary decorum.
A member of the United States sen-
ate does not occupy his seat iu
his personal capacity. He is there as
the high deputy of a sovereign state.
Whatever he may be personally, how-
ever obnoxious or despicable he may be
personally, he is entitled as senator to
all the respect which is due to the state
which he repi esents. Similarly, a mem-
ber of either house of our Texas legisla-
ture is not there in his personal capaci-
ty. While there he should respect him-
self and should be respected by fellow
members as the delegate of the
constituency which elected him,
and as a sworn law-maker for
the whole people of the state
The legislature as a body stands in its
law-making capacity for the sum of the
constituencies in the state. Under the
constitution members are not liable to be
questioned elsewhere for wo: ds spoken
in debate in either house. The constitu-
tion presumes that each house will main-
tain its own dignity by protecting every
member from discourtesy, insult, and
rudeness on the part of other members;
Every relaxation of rules of decorum de-
signed for this purpose tends directly
to the discredit and degredation of our
free representative system of government.
Above all others, assuredly, the law-
makers of the country should set shin-
ing examples of scrupulous regard for
the subordination of ail impulses or
considerations of a merely personal char-
acter to the requirements of law and
order. Frequent displays of violent and
lawless temper on the part of law-
makers, whether state or national, must
be a terrible drawback on a wholesome
civil education for young and old.
THE THREATENED Ei'-HT-HOUR
STRIKE. *
Chicago promises to inaugurate an-
other labor revolution, which, if in-
cepted and extensively prosecuted,
would, whether successful or nor, for
an indeterminate period unsettle values
and again turn trade topsy turvy. There
is in the garden city a society called
The Eight-Hour Labor League, and
at a meeting held of that body a few
days ago the following resolution was
passed:
Resolved, that on the coming 4th of July
the workmen who participate in the great
demonstration will have a two-fold duty
to perform. In the first plaee, they will
make it known broadcast that the organ-
ized laborers of America are as one on the
question of reducing the hours of labor,
not only in governmental, but in all pri-
vate employments; and, in the second
place, they will proclaim the great truths
that only through shortening the hours of
labor -.-an wages rise bv giving employ-
ment to the unemployed, and that neither
desirable end can lie accomplished until
the workmen of the United States join
hands and amalgamate their trades and
labor unions.
It is currently rumored among the
members of the organization that on or
about Independence day a general strike
throughout the union will take place to
compel all employers of labor to reduce
the working hours to eight without any
reduction of pay or wages. It is fondly
believed that several advantages, by the
proposed step, would accrue to work-
ingmcn; that their hours of labor would
be shortened; that tliev would obtain as
much remuneration for eight hours
work as for ten—in other words, that
they would be paid for time during
which they did nothing: and that em-
ployers would be obliged to engage a
quarter of as many men more, and to
pay them also for two hours unem
ployed time. Even if a strike for those
objects were successful, which is quite
improbable, would the desired ends be
attained? Would there be an increase
of compensation for a given quantity of
work? Would ten hours pay really
be given for eight hours labor? Would
employment be given to idle men? We
apprehend that these questions must be
answered iu the negative. Jn the first
place there are many industries to which
the eight-hour system could not be made
to apply. In agricultural and some other
pursuits there are employments in which
men are almost necessarily paid for
piecework, etc. The demand, there-
fore, for short hours of labor would be
chiefly confined to those who work as
day laborers. The crisis through which
the country has passed ought to be a
warning to the would-be strikers. We
have experienced the collapse of the
expansion of prices that attended and
followed the war. Before that collapse
American industry was almost wholly
cut off from the rest of the world. The
cost of living was so great, and of pro-
duction so high, that our people could
aot afford to sell to foreign nations at
thiir prices, and they could not afford
to give us ours. The history of the
panic and revulsion is well known. The
prices of products and labor have steadi-
ly gone down, and now we have reached
about the level of the prices of the rest
of the world. During this subsiding
process it was stubbornly resisted by
the mechanic class; strikes and lock-
outs were the order of the day ; men in
many cases would not accept the best
wages which mill-owners and others were
able to pay, and in consequence mills
and other factories were closed and their
proprietors were financially ruined.
" When things are at their worst they
sometimes mend." Signs of a normal
readjustment of things gradually ap-
peared; workingmen were compelled to
accept the economical situation or
starve; the employers found that they
could produce at a cost which enabled
them to sell at a small profit; mines
were reopened, and the buzz of ma-
chinery was once more heard. The
renewed and aggregated earnings of the
laborers caused increased consumption
of goods >>4 this made a demand for
more goods, apd consequently more la-
bor. This improved condition of things,
so slowly brought about. anJ. so long in
coming, is threatened with a fatal check
by an act of suicidal folly, an act which
would again derange industry by mak-
ing demands impossible to in- complied
with; demands which, if they coiatl be
acceded to, would probably petit no-
body, and hurt everyone. The hi a con-
sequence would be to produce dear
goods, to lessen consumption, to lessen
exports, to lessen the purchasing po.. er
of wages while increasing the cost of
living for laborers. Can not the intend-
ing strikers perceive that they are vir-
tually demanding that the cost of every
production shall be increased by twenty-
five per cent; that the labor and pro-
duct of all machinery shall be stopped
for two hours; per day; and that those
classes, the agricultural class for exam-
ple, that have to labor for ten and
twelve hours a day, will lie saddled with
that twenty-five per cent additional
in the cost of goods in order to cover
the expense of keeping idle machinery,
and paying idle men ? Are not the
eight-hour agitators aware that every
cent added to the cost of production
diminishes the sale and the consumption
of the products of labor, and that even
if a workingman gets for eight hours
labor the same sum that eh obtained for
ten hours labor, he will have to
pay out of his wages twenty-five
per cent, more for all that he buys?
The eight hour policy would add noth-
ing to the income of the workingman.
All that it would do would be to reduce
the amount of each day's production
25 per cent., and this much lost could
only be recovered by adding it to the
cost of the thing produced, or by redu-
cing the rate of daily wages in propor-
tion as the hours of labor were dimin-
> ished. It is hoped that the gsod sense
of the laboring masses in this country
will enable them to turn a deaf ear to
those noisy and illogical demagogues
who, for interested purposes, would like
to have a strike always on band. They
thrive by the ruin of others, for, who-
ever may win or lose, they take care
that they shall be remunerated for " ad-
vising" their followers whose interests
they betray.
THE REMEDY FOR PAUPERISM.
Last week a convention of the chari-
ties of the United States was held in
Chicago. In every large community
there are always to be found a number
of well-meaning busybodies whose char-
ity oozes out in attending meetings and
conventions, and giving expression, in
frothy speeches, to impracticable meth-
ods of aiding the needy and distressed.
The facts stated usually consist of tru-
isms, and the theories propounded for
relief are too Utopian for realization.
For example, at the convention men-
tioned it was agreed that the leading
causes of pauperism were hereditary
taint and intemperance—an undeniable
proposition—and a lady present actually
championed the incarceration for life of
all vagrant and degraded men and wo-
men, " so as to cut off the succession of
vicious and illegitimate children! " The
unreflecting " blue " might just as well
have suggested that all the tramps, pau-
pers, vagrants and beggars, male and
female, young and old, adults and chil-
dren, be forthwith hanged or shot. The
remedy would no doubt be perfect if it
could be applied. More prudent dele-
gates advocated restraining the liquor
traffic and making stringent marriage
laws. In more than one country of
Europe a man is not permitted to marry
unless he proves that he has the reason-
able wherewith to support a wife and
family, as it is scarcely fair that the pub-
lic should be saddled, even prospective-
ly or contingently, with that burden. In-
deed no man worthy of the name would
care even to risk that the state
would have to .stand in loco
parentis to his children. Unusual
stress was laid upon the unwisdom of
indiscriminate charity, as tending to in-
crease the number of professional beg-
gars. and as encouraging the lazy to per-
sist in pauperism. In that aspect of the
matter the convention may hare had in
mental view the scenes described by
Burns in his poem of The Jolly Beggars,
who sought alms by day but feasted
and were hilarious at night. The pro-
fessional alms-seeker, who is generally
half beggar and half thief, in nineteen
cases out of twenty fares better than the
honest laboring man. It is all well for
the great charities of the country to
meet in convention. It can do no harm
if it does not do much good. No new
facts were elicited at last week's confer-
ence, and not a single forward step was
taken for the abolishing or mitigating of
the misfortune and nuisance of pauper-
ism. There is hardly a conceivable
term to its existence. "The poor you
have always with you," exclaimed the
Redeemer, and it is to be presumed
there ever will be Lazaruses to grab the
crumbs as they fall from rich men's
tables, and prodigal sons to make meals
off husks. This state of things may be
due to something radically wrong in the
organization of society, but no social
economist has ever been able to discover
a perfect remedy. An Irishman was
once asked how he would deal with this
question. He replied that he would
divide all the property in the world
equally among the population. "But,"
observed the questioner, "some men,
by their business aptitude, steadiness
and industry would soon acquire the
shares of others who were lazy and
dissipated. What would you do
then ?" " Oh," answered the sou of
Erin, "I would divide again." We
fear that such incessant division would
scarcely meet with general approval, or
inure to industry and good citizenship.
It must be conceded that there is a vast
difference between honest poverty,
caused by enforced idleness and pauper-
ism; but the former is always liable to
degenerate into the latter. Carlyle de-
clared that he knew of no more distress
ing sight than that of a healthy, strong,
honest man, willing to woik, seeking
labor, and not beiu, able to find it. So
far as making provision for the poor is
concerned, America is far behind Eng-
land or France. The poor-house sys-
stem in the former country is conducted
on a very intelligent basis. No man
need be with mt food or shelter in Eng-
lcnd; at the same time, when relief is
given to paupers, they must perform
for it a certain amount of labor. A few
months ago an unfortunate woman com-
mitted suicide, because her wants were
not immediately attended to by a parish
relieving officer, lie was tried for his
conduct, and pleaded that he was too
busy to attend to the application when
it was made. This was held to be no
defense, and he was convicted and sen-
tenced to a long term of imprisonment,
with hard labor. What may be desig-
nated vicious poverty can not be too
strongly condemned. It unfortunately
has a tendency to deter philanthropic
persons from aiding the poor at all.
They find that some beggars are frauds,
and all are judged by such samples.
Nothing could be more unjust. If there
be fraudulent paupers, it is only an addi-
tional reason for refusing indiscriminate
charity, and giving donations to so-
cieties which will inquire into every case
before relieving it. The general alms-
giver does not care to come in close con-
tact with social outcasts who need char-
ity. They are too unclean for his dain-
ty touch, and therefore all he has to do
is to send his money to a charitable body
for proper application. The world of
ease and fashion hates poverty. Pover-
ty even dilutes blood to the consistency
of water, for we all know in what esti-
mation " poor relations " are generally
held. Fortunately there are philanthro-
pic men and women, some banded into
societies, like the Little Sisters of the
Poor, Sisters of Mercy, Charity, etc.,
who ■ mission and vocation are to seek
out and relieve distress. To xuch most
of the relief work must lie intrusted,
while it should be the duty of leg: si at ore
to put down begging importers and all
that ravenous horde who improperly
add to the burdens of public charitable
institutions and impose on the good-
heartedness of private benefactors of the
human race.
THE LUMBER TRADE.
By far the largest manufacturing busi-
ness in Texas at present is the conversion
of trees into boards, planks, shingles,
doors, sash and blinds, and yet the busi-
ness is still comparatively in its infancy.
The immense forests of eastern Texas
are more valuable than all the supposed
wealth of the mines of the west. The
statement of tue Orange Tribune of the
payment of upwards of a hundred thou-
sand dollars for logs at that place alone
since February, is an indication of the
growing importance of the business.
The increase in the value of till- raw
material, after it has passed through
the mills and been converted into the
various articles used in building, is
probably four hundred per cent. There
is no danger of a glut in the market for
these articles. Not only is all that vast
portion of Texas west of the Brazos
greatly dependent on eastern Texas for
lumber, hut the rapid approach of rail-
road connection with New Mexico,
Arizona and the republic of Mexico, will
increase the demand indefinitely, as these
regions are comparatively destitute of
timber suited to building and mechanical
uses. Nor is the demand limited to these
countries alone. Many of the West
India islands. South American and Euro-
pean countries are largely dependent
on the United States for lumber and its
products. The manufacture of doors,
sash and blinds by machinery is an
American invention, and two years ago
the United States entered on the busi-
ness of shipping such articles to Eng-
land, although that country was largely-
supplied with rough lumber from Can-
ada and her other American possessions.
In 1857 19,000 doors and 6284 pairs of
sashes and blinds were shipped from
New York, via England, to Australia
and New Zealand. California, finding
that there was money in the business,
has entered upon it and shipped 27,000
doors to Australia last month, with a
corresponding supply of sash and
blinds, while New York shipped 5000
doors, with the usual complement of
the other articles. In 1878 45,000 doors
were shipped from the United States to
England and Scotland, against 2800 the
year before. These figures show the
rapid growth of the trade, and indicate
to some extent the demand abroad for
the products of our forests and lumber
factories.
XT ATE PRESS.
The Henderson Times expresses a very
common mistrust in regard to the policy
of the immediate sale of the school lands,
under the proposed plan, saying:
No agent or commissioner should have
the control of thirty-five millions of acres
of school lands for sale, when a much
safer and better plan is in sight. The
board of officials to supervise the acts of
the proposed commissioner would ope-
rate practically as a mere figure-
head. The governor is very brief, and
does not give any details of the proposed
workings of this vast piece of machinery,
but we venture that the mere power of
sale, to be effective, would open the door
to temptation and fraud, that no board of
supervision, however faithful, would be
able to prevent. It is not perceived why
the general land office has been iffuored
(as it seems to be) in the governor's brief,
but grave recommendations. The general
laud office is the department created by
law to deal with the public domain. There
are found the maps and records of the
lands, public and private, presided over by
an officer supposed to be familiar with the
entire work n^s of his department. The
conflict of jurisdiction that would arise
between the proposed commissioner and
the land office, seems as apparent as it
would be mischievous. The sale of the
school lands should be made by the com-
missioner of the land offic e. If necessary
for efficiency and dispatch, ueeht. tie
wise to create ar. assistant, it: the nature
of a school land bureau. No divided so. e-
rei,rn:y should be permitted to mar tne
progress of the great work. To make the
thing a success the cash system must be
adopted and agencies ignored.
The Gonzales Inquirer makes no
question of the delightful climate of
Texas, saying:
The glorious starry canopy of Chaldea
in olden times has been greatly celebrated.
Italian skies and Itaiian nights, with their
ethereal temperature, have been praised in
oratory and in song. But no green land
on this earth can boast of nishts more
quiet, beautiful and glorious than the lone
star state. Here the sun is warm, the at-
mosphere serene and pure: the nights are
cool, balmy, delicious and invigorating.
One rises in the morning refreshed for the
toils of the day.
All of which is so, and the Inquirer
might have added that it requires less
work to give one an appetite for sleep
in Texas than elsewhere. Stephen Gi-
rard used to say that it required a hard
day's work to enable him to sleep at
night. Here one can sleep soundly
without a tithe of the work or money
of the old Philadelphian.
The Belton Journal approves the pro-
posal to create another appellate court,
a; follows:
In the senate on June 14, Mr. Street in-
tro luced a bill creatine a court of errors
that will relieve the supreme and appellate
courts of the state of the press of business
that row clogs them. This is a move that
was some time since advised by the Jour-
nal, and is a good one.
The Brownwood bonanza is made to
boom bigger than ever, in a letter writ-
ten to the Fort Worth D nocrat by Mr.
Simon H. Holbrook, who proves his
sincerity by saying that he does not
offer any mining lands for sate, and
'hasn't any gals to marry off, either."
He says solid chunks of ore are lying
loose about his place, and adds:
I have sent on a specimen of this ore to
Philadelphia and had it assayed by Prof.
Ei-nest Flmtelmeier, the weii-known
chemist and assayist, and he assures me
that it will pan oat taily 3300 pounds of
pure silver to the ton.
This outweighs anything reported by
the Banner.
The Orange Tribune continues to
poke fun at its solemn neighbor, the
Houston Telegram, and the latter will
probably show its resentment by again
pitching into the News. This paper
has no stock in the controversy and
begs to decline ihe office of bottle-
holder for either of the belligerents.
The bible favors non-interference in
such cases, saying " he that meddleth
with strife not belonging to him is like
one that taketh a dog by the ears."
Let the Tribune and Telegram settle the
matter in their own way if it takes all
summer.
The Corpus Christi Free Press is ap-
palled at the terrible aspect the war of
words between the Cuero papers has
assumed. As long as the belligerents
confined themselves to such words as
Texas cow-boys are in the habit of
flinging at each other snd their refrac-
tory beasts, the Free Press was edified,
but since the Cuero editors have begun
to hurl long sentences of heathen Latin
at each other, the Press implores
them to desist, and exclaims: " Grea
heavens! they have commenced firing
Latin at each other in such fearful vol-
leys, that an earthquake would stand
appalled."
After all. it may be better to hurl a
few long Latin sentences at the head of
an adversary, than to adopt the curt
style of the local editor of the San An-
tonio Herald, and blurt out such epi-
thets as lie and falsehood, accompanied
by the statement that:
The Herald reporter wishes it distinctly
understood that he considers himself re
sponsible for all he writes, and it any one
desires any personal satisfaction from him
he can get it.
Better leave this sort of slang to mem-
bers of congress and other like characters.
Of all the unprofitable work done by
newspapers, none exceeds their unseemly
quarrels and recriminations. In his late
address before the New York Press as-
sociation. Whitelaw Reid very truly
says: "The editor v/ho commands the
respect and persiindfs the judgment
of his readers liutgt keep Ills tem-
per. must keep out of petty per-
sonal controversies, must be seen to
have higher motives for attack than
spite. Iu a word, the spirit that habit"
ually controls the columns must be
clearly recognizable as one of justice
and good will." As a general thing,
Texas editor- act upon the idea, and the
few that are continually carping at
others and indulging in offensive epi-
thets are either laughed at or severely
let alone
In regard !o the proposed sale of the
public domain and school lands of
Texas the San Antonio Express remarks:
Unfortunately the simple passage of
such a bill would not dispose of the lands,
as it would not provide a purchaser if
Texas wants to sell her lands she must
first find purchasers, and to do this, and
s-.-cure the purchasers who would prove or
the greatest benefit to the state, she must
l ely on immigration: and the first duty of
the state would be to take s eps to induce
purchasers to come here from other states.
To increase our resources we must increase
the taxable wealth of the state, and this
could scarcely be done by disposing of im-
mense tracts of land to capitalists to hold
for years on speculation. We want to sell
to persons who will make their homes on
the land and improve and cu.tivate it.
The V1- eatlie; ford Exponent has no
objection to the colored exodus. That
paper says:
The people of the southern states will
never recover any degree of prosperity
and get on the highway of substantial pro-
cress and march sureiy and steadiiy in the
development of her immense agricultural
and industrial capabilities until rid of the
negro population and the substitution
therefor of the more intelligent, more ap-
preciative, more provident and more pro-
gressive white people, who, in due time,
shall and will become proprietors and pro-
tectors of the homes they may acquire bv
their skill and industry. Let the exodus
to Kansas or elsewhere go ahead; give
it the biggest boom and the riddance will
prove the greatest blessing to these Afri-
can blighted regions.
vThe Eupment thinks this movement
should lead to'renewed efforts to secure
industrious and intelligent white settlers.
Gkn". Croo£, who has just returned
from a visit to the frontier posts, reports
that the Indians will give no trouble if
the whites will only leave them alone.
It would, perhaps, be well to order a
good many of those same whites, par-
ticularly the Indian agents and interpre-
ters, on to a reservation and compel them
to remain there.
