MEKOER ON THiS WARPATH.
Omnlm'a ConRHMimnti After tlio Scnlpi of
tlio Indliin Soldier * .
noproscntativo Mercer is reported as hav
ing called nt the War department and re
quested the removal of the company of In
dian soldiers stationed at Fort Omaha ,
claiming that they are a nuisance to the
public and that their proximity to the city
ii demoralizing to themselves. The gcntlo
redskin , in his capacity as defender of the
Hag , has been n MHO of contention for some
time and his white brothers in tiio main
don't ask for anything but bis elimination
from the army organization , claiming that
ho Is as useless thcro as hu is elsewhere , nnd
that , after all , tlio epigrammatic statement
ofytlio Into General Crook that the only good
Indian is a dead ono Is correct.
Concerning Mr. Mercer's action , Colonel
Stonton said yesterday : "I thinkit Is allrlght.
The Indians are a nuisance , and experience
has demonstrated the impracticability of
trying to make soldiers of them. As infan
try they arc a failure , although they acquit
Iheiisclvcs with moro or loss credit in the
cavalry , where they are more at homo. The
only practical way of using thorn in the army
IB scouting , u herein , of course , from the fa
cility born of generations of training , they
nro at their best. Those who know tlio In
dian best cannot bo convinced that ho is
good for anytning practical. "
"I cannot , from personal experience , say
anything about the result of the experiment
of enlisting Indians as regular soldiers , "
said Colonel Bcnham , ' but there soeins to
bo a geiioral seutlment In favor of their dis-
b.uulnient , which , from prcsont indications ,
seems a thing of thu near future. As to the
reasons for Mr. Mercer's actiou.it is nrob-
nbly duo to complaint on the part of resi
dents of that portion of the city near the
fort , and comes from the shooting of the In
dian , High Eagle , not long ago. "
Lieutenant Quay , who formerly had com
mand of a troop of Indian cavalry at Fort
Sill , I. T. , snvr , that ho has found the reds
make excellent cavalrymen and good soldiers ,
and that they take moro pride , us a rule , in
keening themselves and their equipments tn
condition than do white soldiers. "Colonol
Sumner , " said the lieutenant , "tells mo that
the troop of Indian cavalry nt Fort Meade is
the best troop of cavalry ho over saw. Hut ,
of course , there is no doubt that they nro
moro of n success as scouts or independent
cavalry than anything else. "

\Vlldcnt Money Not Wanted.
Representative Jocnson of Indiana , who is
a member of house committee on banking
nnd currency , said to TunBKE correspondent
today that , after hearing all the members of
the committee express themselves upon the
questions which nro now before them , he did
not believe either the bill to repeal the state
bank tax nor the measure providing for an
incontrovertible currency bond issue could
bo reported favorably from the com
mittee. Ho said It scorned to
bo the conclusion of the committee
that the scheme of Mr. Johnson of Ohio to
issue 2 > per cent bonds upon which the gov
ernment shall lend money was impractica
ble. The proposition to fcderalize stata
banks and allow them to issue currency
upon any character of security , and extend
over them federal sui > ervision would bo an
infringement upon states' rights ; if state
banks were given circulating notes bytiio
federal government and any sort of super
vision they would no longer be state banks ;
if the government simply provided for circu
lating notes to bo printed by itself and
issued to state banks , that alone would bean
an infringement upon the charters issued to
the bauks by the nates. No federal super
vision could bo given any bank operating
under a state charter.
Will Huvo to Go to Gold Itoncll.
In the opinion of Mr. Johnson , the com
mittee on banking and currency will refuse
to udopu anything like the proposed plan of
fodorallnng state banks. ' Ho doubled If a
bill to simply repeal the tax upon stale bank
circulation could bo favorably reported from
the committee , although ho Had no doubt
that thu proposition would como before the
house this session in ono way or another.
It begins to look as though all of the cur
rency and bond plans of the administration
advanced so far would fall Hat und congress
would have to come back to the original
proposition of a straight bonH Issue for the
purpose of replenishing the gold reserve and
increasing thn circulating medium. Inquiry
among members of the senate committee
on llnanco reveals much the same condition
of soutimtml respecting the proposed re
habilitation of state banns as exists in the
house committee on banking and currency.
All schemes to extend federal supervision
over state banks are mot with the rlghls of
states to control their own corporations , and
the plain proposition to simply rnpoal the
tax on state bank circulation is ' 'mot with
the argument that the old state bank circu
lation was Hat , unreliable , confusing , and
that it ultimately resulted in loss to its
holders.
Will Abolish tbo Ilinbrontlal.
Today Ropresenlatlve Mercer called upon
the Interstate Commerce commission and
directed attention to the Omaha bridge dif
ferential , which , ho said , continued nnd op

to learn that the differential rates were con
tinuing. Ho said ho had boon led .to believe
that the matter had -been ndjustod. Mr.
Ycnsey said ho would direct the attention of
the Itoch Island company to Ihu matter , and
if it did not adjust it the commission would
cite the company to appear and answer the

made In the McKinlo.y acl of 18'JOto aswx-illo
duty of 8 cents per 100 pdunds.
Mr. Leslie went into alongthy preliminary
explanation of the character of Portland and
ordinary contents. ThbJiirmor Is an artlll-
cinl product of chalk .and clay nnd Is im
ported to the extent of 3,000,000 barrels per
annum. It is used in pavements , aqueducts ,
darns , etc. , While tho''ordinary ' cement is
used in common building. Jn order to demon
strate the ability of the United States to
produce cement in sufficient abundance to
supply the market , Mr.'Eesllo sketched the
extent of the cement bolt , which extends
from Texas through < thts southwest , up
through the middle states to Winnipeg.
There is another bolt -which extends from
Chattanooga northward through Indiana and
Ohio to Now York. The cement industry ex-
tencs over twenty states and results In nn
aggregate production-of over 8,000,000 barrels.
ISonulltod tlio Government.
Mr. Lcsllo showed the necessity for the
change from ad valorem to the specific duty
by pointing out the system of undervalua
tion taken advantage of by the foreign Ira-
porter during the existence of the ad vale
rem duty under the old law. Mr. Leslie
claimed that the change in the class of duty
had resulted in an increase of revenue to the
government of $400,000 or 200 per cent , and
at the same time the price of the cement to
the consumer had been reduced 25 per cent.
This , ho said , was the fairest test of the
beneficent results of this law. He declared ,
moreover , that the constant reduction of the
price demonstrated the fact that no trusts
existed in the cement industry.
In spcakincr of the necessity for a pro
tective duty for this article , ho produced
some tables showing that B7 per cent
of the cost of cement was for labor , and by a
system of comparison of the wages paid in
this country and abroad ho came to the con
clusion that prices hero have ruled CO per
cent higher than abroad. The foreign
country paying the next highest wages was
England , and this led Mr. McMillin to In
quire why itvas that free trade England
paid more for wages in this industry than
protected Germany. Mr , Leslie said ho was
unable to answer that question. [ Laughter. !
Ultllcultlos of ( lottlnE Blurted.
Mr. Leslie spoke of the dlfllcultlcs of
establishing a now industry like the domes
tic manufacture of Portland cement against
the well established reputation of the for
eign article. In reply to questions bo said
that capital to the amount of $12.000,000 was
invested in cement ( ordinary ) and that
about ? 5,000,000 had boon invested in Port
land cement , much of it in experimenting.
In conclusion ha inudo an appeal for Iho re
tention of tbo duty on the ground that it
had operated to the benefit of the consumer
by reducing the price and to the advantage
of the government by increasing the reve
nues. The committee then took a recess.
Joseph Newman of California appeared at
the afternoon session to argue in favor of
the imposition of a duty on raw silk. Mr.
Newman stated that ho was the father of
silk culture in ttio United States , lie came
hero in 1805 and settled in California. He
is a German , who has been before tno ways
and moans committee every time tariff legis
lation has boon proposed in the last ton
years , arguing in behalf of this duty. Ho
speaks brokenly , and itwas with difllculty
the morabera of tbo committee could under
stand what ho said , The burden of his re
marks indicated that ho believed the United
States en pa bio of producing the silk worm
sufficiently to supply nil the raw silk needed
In this country. Ho said that the southern
bolt , extending from the Carolinas through
to the Pacific coast , could grow the silk
worm. Mr. Newman was about to bogln the
description of the development of the silk
worm whoa Mr. Poyno ( interrupted him to
ask how much time sueh-n description would
require. " | | f
