Phase * of Indian lilfo.
An exceedingly Interesting report maj
jo expected from the aonato select com <
ntttno , directed to investigate certain al
ugations with respect to appointment1
o Indian leaderships if it shall include
n the report the results of its obscrva
ions of Indian life. There docs not tip
near to bo any very strong reason wl
the committee should not give congros <
and the country tiio benefit of these ob
servations , and there are good reason1
why it would bo well to do so
The legitimate business of the
committee is of oourfio to asccr
tarn what have been the effects
personal and political , of the swecpinj
removals and appointments of trader
under the present administration , but II
docs not seem impracticable to find ex ro
latlon between the system as managct
and the course of llfo of the Indians tha
would justify a very full explanation o
the latter as the committee saw it.
With regard to the legitimate f unctioi
of the committee , a part of which is stil
engaged in taking testimony , enough ha
been developed to show that most n
those removed have suffered serious hard
shins , and that regardless of political con
slderations mon engaged in this busi
ness should not bo subjected to the ordl
narv policy in the distribution of publi
patronage. An Indian trader is rcquirci
; o invest capital in the business rangln )
in amount from $13,000 to $50,000. A
the Indians receive annuities , a consider
able part of what they get from th
traders Is given on orodit. The trader
testify that they usually have'onehalf b
three-quarters of their investments out
standing. The Indian pays prompt ! ;
enough to those who remain in busines
and continue to trust them , but the trade
who closes bis doors or is ordered away i
tortunato if ho secures a smul
nirt of what is duo him. Thus many o
; hose who have boon removed have los
nearly the whole of their investments
while others have boon utterly bank
ruptcd. It ia understood that the com
mittco is a unit in the opinion that tlics
traderships should be regarded as nurel ;
business enterprises , not to be arbltraril
interfered witn and disposed of as re
wards of political service.
With regard to the committee's obsoi
vatlons of Indian life , the members seen
to have been strongly impressed with th
fact that after all these years of government
mont care and philanthropic ondoavo
so little had been accomplished in bring
ing the Indians to the conditions and ol
sorvanccs of civilized lifo. The commil
tee visited the Kaw reservation , whor
130,000 acres of as good land as there i
in the west tire the property of 107 indi
viduals , including women and children
They are worthless beggars , and in i
ride of twenty-five miles across the rcsoi
vation the committee saw not a singl
sign of inhabitancy except the wir >
Fences of the cattle men and the agonc ,
buildings. In the Osage couutr ,
a million and a half of acre
are reserved for about fifteen bun
drcd people , two-thirds of them ful
bloods as worthless and almost as dovoit
of the conditions of civilization as wcr
their ancestors of a century ago. A "re
ligious festival" was in progress and th
orgies incident to this extraordinary proceeding
coeding , together with the presence of ,
host of polygamous wives who are bough
like cattle and treated worse , of nakci
youths of both sexes , and an army of tin
sightly dogs , wore to the grav
and reverend senators an "unos
pectod and painful revelation. " A
an illustration of how littl
the average Indian can bo depended t
permanently subject himself to the influence
once of education and the requirement
of civilized lifo , it was found that two c
the sprightliest of the Indians , bedookei
in the most approved Indian fashion
were graduates of the Carlisle India
school who have relapsed into shamolea
savagery. It is not surprising that th
committee came away from this dlspla
filled wltli the conviction that the India
policy of the nation is not thus far a shit
ing success.
Wo submit that it will bo an unfoi
tunate omission if the committo
does not incorporate these cxporionccs i
their report to congress. Whether reli
vant to the subject of their inquiry t
not , they are both interesting and ii
structivo , and trustworthy information <
this sort is needed by a considerable bed
of pcoplo in this country who are doin
homage to an Ideal that exists nowhor
outside of their impressible imagination :
Judga Appolget.
The Hon. Thomas'Appelget , of Tccun
sob , has been appointed judge in th
First judicial district. In this judicit
appointment , as in all others made b
him , Governor Thayer could not hav
chosen a man bettor qualified nor on
moro deserving. Mr. Appolget , whil
ranking foremost among the lawyers <
his district , has always boon an uncon
promising republican , is an old soldie :
and during his eighteen years la1
practice in Nebraska ho has mad
a reputation for honesty and intogrit
that no man will question.
Out of the many candidates for tb
position , Church , Stull , Humphrey , Davi *
son , Dabcook , and others among thoi
some excellent gentlemen , none woul
have given moro general uatisfat
tion than the appointment of Judge A ]
pelget.
There seemed to be a question as
whether the First district really noedi
another judge , but as the legislature crated
atod the position , and there was a v
canoy , Governor Thayer has filled it we
Theory and PHCIB.
Judge Kelley , of Pennsylvania , distn
gulshcd as one of the foremost ohamploi
of protection , and , in the language of
contemporary , probably "tho best al
around pig-iron man in the Unite
States , " has recently returned from
second trip to the south , where ho visile
the manufacturing sections. It will 1
remembered that on the return of tl
venerable gentleman from his first trl
eorao months ago , he gave a glowing a <
countof the condition and prospects of tl
Industrial movement at the south , all <
which he found duo largely to the fosto
ing care of protection. On his la
visit he seems to have somewhat e
larged the scope ot his observations , an
ho comas back to say that farmers of tt
regions ho visited , are having a remark
bio prosperity , whioh , of course , rau
also be credited chietly or wholly to tl
beneficent influence of protection. The :
farmers have not yet learned to take tt
fullest advantage of their opportunlt'
but they are gaining knowledge , and i
they grow in it their prosperity will ii
crease.
Tha absolute faith of tha veteran pn
cctlonist in his theory Is the growth
of a lifetime and will abide
with him to the end. Ho could not see
anything different , though the evidences
voro piled up before him mountain high.
Dut there are others not so entirely sur
rendered to the illusion that protection is
ho bulwark of the farmer , and such will
be accessible to facts. The cradle and
chief beneficiary of protection is Penn
sylvania , and yet it is stated upon ofllctal
authority that since 18TO there had been
\stnadydepreciationof fanning lands
in that state , while largo regions have
jccn almost depopulated because
their cultivation had bccomo tin
profitable. There la no other state
in the union from which there has been
a larger emigration of farmers during
the past ten or fifteen years than from
Pennsylvania , and the exocus still goes
on. Towns that were thrifty n few years
ago by reason of the prosperity of the
agricultural country surrounding thorn
are now going to decay. If protection
accomplishes so much for the benefit ol
agriculture , surely the good results
should bo. apparent in Now England.
Hut as wo showed some tlmo ago there ia
no part of the country in which
the farmers uro in a moro hapless
and hopeless condition than those of
Now England. Wo have at hand r
statement showing that in Vermont
there was a decrease of 33 per cent in
the agricultural wealth during the decade -
cado from 1870 to 1830 , nnd there is nol
the least reason to doubt that it lias con
tinued to decrease since. In some of the
other Now England states the decline
lias been greater than this. Farming in
Now England to-day is its most Unprofit
able industry.
It is very likely that for a tlmo the
farmers south who are near the centers
of manufacturing activity will pros
per from the growth of those
centers in population , but it is impossi
ble to spo what part protection will play ,
oven indirectly , in such prosperity. At
all events the facts derived from those
sections where protection has found its
strongest support , and is hold to have
given its greatest benefit's , do not show
that agriculture is a sharer in its claimed
advantages.
Production or the I'roclous Metals.
The report ot the director of the mini
for the calender year 1880 , shows an in
crease in the production of gold in the
United States over that of the preceding
year of $3,300,000 , while the production
ot silver was slightly less than in 1885
'Iho estimates are : Gold , 135,000,000 ; sil
ver , $51,000,000. As compared with 1880 ,
the ailvor production last year was largoi
by nearly $13,000,000 , while the comparative
tivo production of gold shows t
dccroaso for last year of $1,000.000
Colorado takes first rank as the largcsi
producer of the precious metals , Mon
tana the second place and California the
third. The production ot Nevada and
Now Mexico lias decreased , while that o :
the other stales lias remained almost uu
changed. Texas is now for the first time
included in the list of states produciiu
the precious metals , she having last ycai
added to the silver supply to the extent
of $200,000. During the last fourteen
years the annual supply of silver f ron
all the mines of the world has largely in
creased , the total production for las
year being don bio that of 1873 , or $134 ,
l
000,000. _
The cstimaled stock of coin in the
United States on the first of last January
is stated at $881,000,000 , consisting o
$500,000,000 in gold and $331,000,000 in
silver. In addition to this the government
owned gold and silver bullion to the
value of $38,400,003. Less than half the
stock of coin is in active circulation , the
larger part being in the treasury of tin
United Slates and the banki
of the country. It is al !
available , however , as a na
tional asset , and shows the country ir
bo abundantly well off in this particular
It may bo interesting to note a fact no
embraced in the report of Iho director o
the mint , that over since the country
began to prepare for resumption then
has boon an inflow of gold of more tha i
double the outflow that is , an importa
lion approximately of $310,000,000 ane
an exportation of about $100,000,000. Tin
production for nine years , from 1877 te
1880 , added to this about $337,000,000
giving a not acquisition of gold for tha
period of $507,000,000. This ii
not all in the form of money , but the fig
urcs of the mint report show tha
much the greater part of it is. It it
evident that the world's supply of thi
precious metals U ample , and the United
States is producing and retaining it ;
share. "
Tha Council and the Chief of Police
Chief of Police Soavoy presented > hi
official bond for $10,000 to the council
for approval and the council has orderee
its reference to the committee on police
At the same session of the council tin
now street commissioner and sovora
other officers , appointed by the mayor
presented their ollicml bonds and the * ; ;
were promptly approved. The bonel ol
the chief of police was signed by eurotic
who qualify under oath that they ar
worth double the amount of the bond
over and above their liabilities , The re
fusal to accept > thi8 bond is therefore no
on account of its supposed insufficiency
but on the grounds staled by Conncilmai
Ford , namely : That the chief of polic
cannot qualify until after the council ha
approved the rules and rogulalions sub
milted by the police commission.
This is an assumption without an ;
foundation in law. Its direct effect woult
bo to nullify the powers of the police aui
fire commission , and make its exercise o
authority dependent upon the will am
whim of the council. The charter ex
prcssly vests the power of appointing th
chief of police in the board , of fire am
police commissioners. That appointment
mont has been duly made. The enl ;
condition imposed upon the chief ot pc
lice by the charter before ho can assurn
charge of the police force is embodied 11
Section 163 , which requires "every office
of kthe city , before entering upoh hi
official duties , lo take and subscrib
an oath to faithfully discharge the dutie
of his office , which oath shall bo in wril
ing , and shall bo filed with the clt
clerk.
Whenever Mr. Scavoy files this oath I
the city clerk's office he becomes the off
clal head ot the police , subject only t
directions from the board of police an
fire commissioners.
Section 140 roads as follows :
"Tut * chief of police shall have th
supervision and control of the polic
force of the city , and ia that connection
ho shall bo subject only to the board c
lire and police , and all orders ot Hi
board relating to the direction of the pc
lice force shall bdfelven through the elite
of police , or in his absouco , the ofilcor 1
charge of the police'force. "
The bond presented by Chief of Polic
Scavoy was merely a matter of fern
The charter does cot require a bon
from the chief of police , nor
there any ordinance to that effect. M
Seavoy's bond was made out under n
old ordinance that fixes the bond of tl
city marshal at $10jOOO. The city ma
sh'al's ofllcc has bban abolished. N
suoh officer can legally oxcrclso polle
authority under our charter. As a mater
tor of fact , Thomas Cumings ceased I
bo city marshal of Omaha on March 30tl
when the now charter , which did ni
continue the office of city marshal , wor
into effect. Ho exorcises his nuthoril
lo-day simply as a police officer , tempi
rarily in charge of the police fore
Ho is not city marshal , because thci
Is no such olllco. Ho is not chief of p <
lice , because neither mayor nor counc
have authority to appoint n chief of pi
lice , even temporarily , and furthormoi
bacauso the police commission has at
pointed another man. This wo take I
bo the dry matter-of-fact law of the casi
The council may hold back its approy
of the bond of the new chief , but it cai
nol prevent him from assuming officli
charge of the police force front the me
mont he has filed his official oath wit
the city clerk. Any other version of tl
law would bo subversive of the funel ;
mental object of the metropolitan polle
syslcrn. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE effort of Mr. Patrick Egan to s
cure n hearing before a Dublin jurv e
the charges publicly made against hli
has failed , as very few people doubted
would. The under secretary for Irolan
has notified him that the government en
make no conditions in relation to his n
turn to Ireland , but Mr. Egan has neve
thcloss renewed the challenge , dcnouni
ing the charges in vigorous terms. Pro1
ably no attention will bo paid to hi
second communication , but whcthi
there is or not we think Mr. Egan ma
fool assured that Ho is sufficiently vind

good opinion is of any value to him. '

Waking the May Flowers.
Dorothy Qrty.
Adown the still and leafless wood ,
In gladsome mode spring walked one day
A thousand sunbeams round her danced ,
A south breeze played about her way.
The aspens quivered 'neath her louch ,
And walked to lind Ihe winter fled ;
The birches felt a sudden thrill ,
The maples donned a misty red.
Where'er she trod , a tender green I
Gleamed all the hills and vales along ,
And at her smile the Ire-bound brooks
Awoke and rippled Into song.
Wboro last year's leaves all sere and dry ,
Within the sunny hollows lay ;
She paused while with its balmy breath
The south winds swept them far away.
And , nenllng there , with fast closed bud :
The May flowers lay in dreamless sleei
Where autumn , with a careful hand ,
Had hid them 'neath a covering deep.
Then with a sweet and sudden siclle ,
builng bout above the sleeping flower !
"Wake , little ones , she whispered low ,
"And tell the world of happy hours. "
Uoneath her kiss , a dainty pink
Spread o'er their petals , snowy white ,
And all along the woodland ways
They oped 1 their i sweet eyes to tlio light.
