A strong pressure will be brought to bear upon the approaching session of Congress to do something toward the amelioration of the present con dition of our Indians. What a terri ble story comes to us of the famish ing Piegans who are being decimated by disease brought on for want of proper food ! And the stories are true , because they come from official sources dispatched by the Govern ment for the express purpose of inves tigating them. In tin's Indian busi ness we have held a inosl. unhappy po sition from the time.that we have un dertaken an Indian policy. The solu tion of the aboriginal problem has been tried by every President from Washington to Arthur , and Mr. Jelf- erson whose Quaker policy was first inaugurated made a more dismal fail ure of it than Grant did a-half a cen tury later. "We should govern them by love and kindness , " said Mr. Jeff erson , and so he sincerely endeavored to do , but the contractor was abroad in the land as he has ever been since , and the Indian Bible of Eliot has been transformed into a euchre-deck , and the principal English that the Indian first acquaints himself with is that used for the choicest of profanity. Though the maintenance of an army of school teachers may be cheaper than that of soldiers , and school books less expensive' than cannon , there is still a sentiment among a large portion tion of the American people that civ- ilizaticn has got to be crammed down the throat of the red man , as turkeys are stuffed for Christmas. From official data furnished by the director of the mint , we find that the whole circulation of money in the country on October 1st was $1,806- 425,054 , or thirty-three dollars per capita , were it not for the fact that more than one-quarter of this vast sum is lying idle in the Treasury vault ! Of the § 814,000,000 in gold and silver coin in existence here , § 386,000,000 or neaely one half lies rusting in rotten canvass bags , not only earning nothing but depriving the business interests of the country of the means to contribute to the pros perity of the people. And the useless taxation of the people continues on. Instead then , of having thirty-three dollars per capita of circulation , we only have a little more than twenty- four per capita , which is less than that of France , Germany , England , or even Italy with all her paupers. What kind of statesmanship is it that thus hoards up in the Government coffers the money that is absolutely robbed from the people in the way of taxation when there is no earthly occasion for it ? Another beautiful illustration of our monetary system is the fact of our coining 2.000,000 silver dollars per month under the requirements of the Jaw , when we have 142,000,000 of these same dollars locked up , and all the available space in the Treasury Viiults filled up with them ! l"n the quiet of a sabbath afternoon visu the dark and bloody ground at Blatensburg ? , which is about a twenty minute's horseback ride from the ca'pitol. In the memorable epoch of duelling , when every man's wound ed honor carried its appeasement in a vicious-looking horse-pistol , this spot was the chosen field for both civilians and knights of war. It was here that the youthful Decatur went to his doom "by the unerring aim of Barren. It was here that Cilley , a member of Con- o-ress from Maine , bit the dust when Graves , of Kentucky , got in his work first. It was here that Clay received the fire of Randolph after delivering his own , and each , finding the other unhurt , fell upon each other's neck and wept. It was here that Thomas H. Benton , Henry A. Wise , and a core of other Congressmen have met a nd settled their differences either by t he code or by compromises and mut- u x 1 concessions. The place is pecul iar ! y adapted by nature for the pur pose to which these sensitive public men. ptft it , for it was at that time sur rounded by a dense forest of trees , at a suitable distance from the road to avoid scrutiny from meddlesome passersby ersbyThe spot is a broad plat of ' jrrcundjust east of the Baltimore turn- Jike , and by * the side of a sluggish rut _ tie stream that has its source at ft spring near the village of deng. burg. There is a willow tvec pantei ] at the exact spot wher e uilley fell ) which has now grown. to large proportions tions , and the tr.titions { of the spot ire suggestive of the difference in the ntensity of regard for one's honor jjen'and now.
