GKNKKAI , THAYBU remarks that th
past two years hayo soon very livol
building operations at the various stilt
institutions. That is true , and lor thn
reason there is nogroat demand for mor
extensive appropriations for such pui
poses this year. It is a good time to ell
the wings of the salary raiders , ii
stead of adding now wings to all th
state institutions.
IT is stated that John IT. Powers hn
read the riot act to Senator Koonlz fo
his speech at McCook , The senate
need not ho alarmed. Ho received v <
clforous evidence of the fact that hi
nudionco endorsed his sontunonts , nn
lie may have the satisfaction of prorin
that the applause with which his coi
Rtituonts greeted him found an echo i
the heart of nearly all who roa
his speech. The discredit falls m
upon the man \vhn made the speech , bi
upon the purblind partisans who crit
else it.
TIIK justice of the demand for a roa
onuhlo share of tlio county road fund i
which the city pays four-llfths , is not 1
bo questioned. Loss than one-half i
the fund is spoilt within the city liml
annually , but the fact must not bo eve
looked that the improvement and mat ;
temxnco of highways through U
county is a source of permanent profit
the city , The inixln object in view is
inako the amount apportioned by tl
county to the city do the greatest peas
bio good. This result ca
not bo attained by the commi
sionors controlling the expenditure
Under the city laws one-half the cost
the grading is assessed to abutting pro ;
ortyvhoreua the taxpayers bear the o
tire cost of grading undertaken by tl
county , and the property owners (
favored streets receive permanent bon
fits without cost. If the S2o,000oxpoudi
by the county within the city limits lu
year was disposed of under city laws ,
would have accomplished double tl
amount of work. The city and coun
authorities should unlto on a plan 1
which the city's share of the road fui
will bcoxpended under city laws. Tli
need not deprive the commissioners
control. They can designate the strcc
to bo improved and the grade to bo i
tabllshed , but the city should contt
the contracts and supervise the work ,
as to assess ono-lmlf the oojt to ahuttlr
property.

In his opinion an appropriation of } : SH- ) ,

quired to meet the needs of the case. It
will bo observed that IIH ! estimate of the

General Thnyer's remarks on the sub
ject of tlio Indian policy of the govern-
mon I will find a rcHnonsivo echo in the
hearts of nil Nebraskans , and may well
roinnmiul the attention of the statesmen
at Washington. Hays the ox-governor
of the Indians :
\Vo feed thorn ( those not civilized ) and they
ilofy us ; wop.iv thorn mniioy nnd , they pur
chase Winchester * ; if they rebel , they lau li
at the nriny nml say tint they arostarvlnp ;

ri'ii , who have been robbed of their ovoi'j
possession. Tina 13 a true sum mary of the
ituatloa as to the hullans ; wo feed them anil
ley llglit us. 'I'tio juoplo nro taxed to sup-
wrt Uiotn In Idleness , while they look ia dls-
aln upon every kind of labor.
Lie urges that the Indians must bi
Isarmed and rigidly confined to tholi
'osorvatlons ' , and that , above all , the
iottlers on the frontier must bo pro
ected , Ho sums u | ) the whole question ,
10 far as it concerns tlio citizens of this
tate , when ho says : "Tho onward
iinrch of civilization must not bo stivj-oil
iy the remnants of b'irbarism. "
It fell to the lot of Governor Thayer ,
n the last days of his olllclal career , U :
under a most memorable sorvleo to thi
Into In dealing with the destitution ii
mo part of the commonwealth and tin
ndinn disturbance In another. Tin
loojilo approved his acts In those mat
er.s , nnd they will very generally con
: ur in his conclusions , as stated in hi :
moHsago.
I'orhivps the most satisfactory feature
of the message is its strong doclarutioi
n favor of a revision ol the tax laws
The ox-irovornor urges that the assess
.nont . should bo high and the tax ratt
ow , rather than the reverse , and tha
ho laws should bo very severe In pro
viOing for the punishment of mon whi
cciii their property and the assessor
who connive at It. This is a suggestioi
that the legislature should speedily ac
upon. Nebraska has suffered a groa
deal from the present wretcho d systcn
of taxation.
The message treats rather tamely o
the railroad question , It correctly state :
the relations of the people and the cor
poratlons and the powers of the legislature
turo , but'it makes no very vigorous am
definite Huggcsitions of remedies.
General Thayer devotes considorabl
attention to two mutters of very grca
mportanco to the state at this time , tin
encouragement of the sugar boot Indus
ry and the development of irrigation
In both matters ho takes a positive atti
tudo. IIo urges that if the good begin
ling already mndo in the manufactur
of boot sugar is followed up Nobruski
will become the loading suga11 state o
the union in the next ten years. II
points out the advantages to bo gainei
by irrigation , and asks the logislatur
lo lUQiuoraUzo congress In favor of th
passage of the measures donating publi
lands to the several states.
Among the other important re
commendations of the mcsag
is one in favor of nn appropriation c
$150,000 for the world's fair , the croatio
of a board of pardons and the ostnhlisl
moiit of an Immigration bureau , an
provision for farmers' institutes. Th
reports of the various departments ar
reviewed and their rocommondatlor.
generally endorsed.
The ox-governor clo'os with an can
est appeal for the avoidance of all ras
legislation and tha enactment of lav
that will strengthen the credit of tli
state before the country.
The tone and spirit of the ox-govorr
or's suggestions are admirable , and the
form an agreeable ending to his foi
vear'8 service in the executive chair.
TIIK COST OF FKIliriNa IXDtAXS.
A statement sent to congress from tl ;
the quartermaster gouonil of the arm
shows that the cost of the Sioux Indin
outbreak was at least $2,000,000. J3t
this is only the direct expense , and it I
estimated that whoa all settlements at
made the cost will probably roach doubl
that amount. In any event It has bee
an expensive lesson , It remains to 1
seen whgthor It will bo productive <
compensatory results.
TIIK Bun prints elsewhere in thlsissi
the principal portions of an address d
Hvercd before the Society of Friends
Philadelphia by Indian Commission' '
Morgan which is a valuable contrlb
tion to the discussion of the ladlt
problem. The commissioner , whoso I
torest and zeal in his work are ma
commendable , presents a clear ai
candid statement of the situation ni
points out the policy which ho balluvi
it to bo the duty of the government
pursue in order to roach a the
oughly satisfactory solution of tl
problem. A quarter of a mi
Ion Indians nro widely sci :
tercd from Llalno to Caltfornl
ranging In their condition from barba
ism to a uogroo of civilization compn
ing favorably with the average whi
citizen. The nation has assumed ni
maintained a guardianship over the
Indians , nnd entered into treaties wi
them which involve the government
certain definite obligations. It holds
trust for them 523,000,000 , , und
a specific agreement us to wh
shall bo done with the procoe
uud principal of this uionoy lu tht
interest. It Is pledged to maintain a
system of education that will omxblo the
Indian youth to obtain such Instruction
as will familiarl/o thorn with civilized
Ufo. It has imdnrtakoii to carry out a
plan of allotment In severally and loach
the adults farming. It has covenanted
to provide for them until they boeomo
Holf'SUpwirtlng In a way becoming a
wealthy and enllgiitened nation. It has
promised to deal fulrly and justly with
them in regard to their lands , and in
short , thn government Is under pledge
and compact to trout those people hon
orably mid in good faith.
To a very largo extent tills has been
done. The fact that IHo.OOO Indians nro
Kolf-suppjrtlng and that 10,000 youths
are being educated in the schools , is con
clusive evidence that the government
has not wholly failed to curry out Its
agreements. But It has not been uni
formly careful and consistent In the per
formance of Its duty. The service has not
always boon faithful and olllclunt , mid
there is reason to bolioro that it has not
at all times boon entirely honest. What
the commissioner of Indian alTairs demands -
mands Is that the government shall
keep absolute good faith with the In
dians. Regarding the sorvleo ho urges
that it should bj administered by one
responsible head , that appointments
should bo inado under civil service
rules , and that llio cnntlnuanco of
any person in the Forvlco
Hlnmld bo conditioned upon the
faithful performance of duly , llo takes
a decided position against transferring
the control of the Indiliis to the war de
partment , believing that the civil au
thority is far hotter qualified than the
military to deal judiciously with the many
details connected with the question of
Indian civilization. The commissioner
concludes with the gratifying assurance )
that there is no occasion for discourage-
munt or impatience.
The country will learn with pleasure
that the llrst practical result of the now
plan of reciprocity with the southern
countries of this hemisphere has buon
attained in an agreement consummated
between the government of the United
States and the government of Brazil , to
take olloet January I next. As soon as
the policy of this country regarding
closer trade relations with the countries
of South and Central America was
formally declared , Brazil made known
hur friendly Interest in it and
very shortly afterward her representa
tive at Washington was instructed to
enter into negotiations looking to an
agreement or treaty on the lines pro
posed by the United States. It would
seem that little or no dilllculty had boon
found in reaching an arrangement satis
factory to the president and secretary of
state and the Ui-a/.iliuu minisLO" , and it
is possible that tlio agreement can bo
ratified by the senate at the present ses
sion , while Its ratification by the Brazil
ian government may bo regarded as al-
moit a matter of course.
The trade of the United States with
Drnzil is very much Inrgor than with
any other South American county , but
it has boon very one-sided. For in
stance , wo imported from that country
in-the year ending .luno 80 , 1890 , mer
chandise to the v iluo of about $00,000,000 ,
while our exports amounted to less than
$12,000,000. and this about measures the
discrepancy against us in our commerce
with Brazil for a number of years.
Mcnmvhilo Great Britain , Germany and
Franco have been soiling in the aggre
gate to the Brazilians a great deal
more than they bought of them , and
have been steadily making stronger
their hold upon the commerce of Bra
zil , as they have upon the trade of all
the South American countries. But
with the advent of the republic , which
the United States was prompt to recognize -
nizo , came a more friendly commercial
sentiment toward this country which
has since boon steadily growing , and
under the operation of the reciprocity
agreement just announced there cannot
fall to bo a very matoria
enlargement of our export trade
with Brazil if our mer
chants nnd manufnoturors make the con
ditions such as to commiuU it. Wo can
not expect to wholly supplant the Ku
ropean countries which now send annu
ally to Brazil merchandise of tlio value
of upwards of $ oO,000,000. Wo must looli
for a bhnrpor competition than over before -
fore from these countries to hold this
trado. But if our merchants * and manu
facturers can go to the Brazilian market
with desirable goods at satisfactory
prices , can guarantee ) prompt delivery ,
and can ofl'or equally favorable condl
lions with Europeans , they will cnjoi
a decided advantage in the competition
and it ought to bo practicable in a fou
years to make our exports to Brazil bnl
nnco our imports from that country. A
any rate there will bo insured an In
creased demand from that country fo
our agricultural products.
The consummation of this ngroomon' '
between the United States and Brazl
ought to have a good otToot in stimulat
ing the interest of other South American
can countries regarding reciprocity ,
mid it may bo expected to. But none ol
thorn is so favorably situated a
Brazil for entering into suc1
an arrangement. The moit importan
of them , the Argentine Republic , is HI
completely unctor bondage to Europoai
capital that It is likely to bo many year
before she can venture to make sue !
concessions as reciprocity with the
United States would require , while Chili
Uruguay ami some of the others ar
not much bolter situated. Ultimately
however , they will fall into line , and th
time may not bo so remote as now neon )
probable. There have been intimation
that Spain is disposed to enter hit
negotiations for reciprocity with lie
West India possessions , and itisolllclnll
announced that the government t
Canada desires to negotiate. It wl
thus bo soon that reciprocity is a vor
live nnd wide-reaching subject ,
