In a former letter I referred to the starving condition of the Piegan In dians , whose reliance for subsistence has depended entirely on the Govern ment. There are no less than four thousand five hundred of these unfor tunate creatures , for whose care and comfort Congress appropriated last year $40,000 , or less than two cents per day for each Indian ! Their res ervation is entirely non-productive so far as game is concerned , and the Government has never attempted the encouragement of this particular tribe to arts of husbandry. The Indian De partment cannot and ought not. to be held responsible for the terrible con dition of these Indians , except for its adherence to a rule which limits the agent to furnishing supplies for each week to one fifty second part of the amount of subsistence for a full year. One can readily imagine then , the actual suffering that these people ; have already endured , when four thousand human beings were com pelled to subsist on an allowance of food as limited as that of the Greeley party in its most desperate strait. And now with our Treasury bursting with money and the granaries of the country groaning under the magnifi cent crops of the past season , it has been determined to keep these poor people during the approaching winter on half rations ! It is no wonder that the Piegan considers his own civili zation superior to ours. The "Conscience Fund" of the Treasury is a matter that is worthy of I a little study. It is a fund composed ' of small amounts generally , and large amounts rarely. In fact it is a mat ter of surprise that so many con sciences should be disturbed by so ! < small a sum of money that their owners - j ers have euchred the Government out t' of , and so few that large stealings < havebecn { able to make an impression j upon. The back pay salary grab , 11 believe , was not credited to the con-1 science fund , and rightly so , because ! it was the fear of results rather than , remorse which prompted its return to ' the Treasury. The records of the j Treasury fail to show that any of the gigantic plunderers of the Government - ! ment have ever exhibited remorse of | onscience enough to cover a cent of | their "boodle" in the Treasury , but' ' here is a poor crank of a chap taking the pains to send a one cent stamp to make up the postage that he thought , lie had swindled the Government out of , when in fact the Government had never forwarded his letter at all. Yes terday S89 was received from an in dividual down South who had become converted , and desired to remove this ' $89 burden from his soul. A Chica go man , forgetting that nobcdy had ever gotten into Heaven from Chica go , thought that he might squeeze through by returning the $2 he had wronged Uncle Sam ont of in a whis key deal. The largest sum that has ever been credited to the conscience fund was $1,100 from a Salem ( Mass. . ) postmaster away back in days gone by , but even in this case the Govern ment declared that his accounts were corre.ct , and his money was returned to him. I see that the lobby has already ) commenced to rally at the hotels , | with Congress six weeks off and the Presidential election yet to come. Some of these third house chaps have an office in view , some are in the in terest of some sort of a Government orab , but a good majority are for ex tra appropriations for public build ings in different portions of the coun try , and have simply come on in ad vance of Congress to enlist the good offices of the heads of departments. Here is a fellow from a one-horse town in Florida who has got a § 150- 000 appropriation , but he wants a quarter of a million. Little Nevada , wtih scarce population enough to en title her to a Congressman , wants a i $100,000 post office building for one of its towns that never had and never ' will have 4,000 people. Proctor | Knott's Duluth has had $125,000 , j and wants more for a post office , when I the town is going backwards with twice the celerity that it ever came' forward. As a matter of absolute business , three-quarters of the public buildings that were authorized to be constructed at the last Congress were entirely unnecessary , but they fur nished magnificent opportunities for corner-lot owners to rake in fortunes , and building contractors to quarter themselves on the Treasury for an in definite period.
