What the most distinguished art ists in the United States say con cerning them: The Pianofortes—Grand, Square, and Uprleht—man ufactured bv Messrs. Stclnway <fc Sous have established for themselves so worldwide a reputation that it is hardly possible for us to add anything to their lust fame. Having thoroughly tested and tried these Instruments personally for years, hoth In public and private. It be comes our pleasant duty to express our candid opinion regarding their unquestioned superiority over any other piano known to us. Among the chief points of their uniform excellence are: Greatest possible depth, richness, and volume of tone, combined with a rare brilliancy, clearness, and perfect evenness throughout the entire scale, and. above all. a surprising duration of sound, the pure and sympathetic quality of which never changes under the most delicate or powcrtul touch. This peculiarity Is found exclusively In the “Stein way" Plano, and, together with the matchless pre cision, elasticity, and promptness of action always characterizing these Instruments, as well as their mi cqualed durability under the severest trials. Is truly surprising, and claims at once the admiration of every artist. AVc therefore conslderthe “Stcluway" Pianos In all respects the best Instrument made In this country or In Kurope. use them solely and exclusively our selvc in public or private, and recommend them luva r lablv to our friends and the public. ~VVc have at different times expressed our opinions regarding the pianos of various makers, but freely and unhesitatingly pronounce Messrs, Stclnway & Sons’ pianos superior to them all.

Secretary • Schurz concludes: While protesting against unjust criticism as to persons, I desire to be distinctly understood that in the conduct of Indian affairs Ido not repel bat invite inspection and observation on the. part of military officers. 1 have always done so since I entered upon mv present duties. It serves my purpose bv giving me information which enables me to improve the service. Bat I want fair play. You will, therefore, • oblige me by calling onco , more upon Gen. Sheridan for detailed specifications of the sweep ing charges made in bis annual report that at all the Agencies in the Military Division of the Mis souri, except the Ked Cloud and SpottcdTail Sioux Agencies, the appropriations made by Congress for the support of the Indians, which. In Gen. Sheri dan's opinion, were sufficient.hod been; during the past year, either not applied at allorpartly diverted from their purpose. If Gen. Sheridan has any such specific knowledge, it is very much to be re gretted that he did hot produce it before, so that the information coaid have been acted upon. I make this demand in good faith, and in the interest of the service, in order that abuses which have not vet been corrected may be corrected promptly. • I hope Gcn.Sberidan will make his revelations with out delay- wbtcli .he mast.De able to do t for It. must not oe assumed that he is under the uecessl~ ty. after having pronounced the verdict first, to look for the evidence afterwards. Very respect folly, C. Scuuuz. Secretary. The letter is addressed to George W. McCrary, Secretary of War, THE PROVOCATION. Secretary Schurz says this correspondence grew out of the following facts: Aug. 27,1878. F. B. Hunt, Indian Acent* informed Maj.-Gen, - Pope that on Dec. 1 the Kiowa and Comanche Agency would be consolidated with the Wichita Agency, ami requested that a company of cav alry be stationed at the latter Agency to keep ; the more turbulent Indians in place, adding that to such an arrangement the officers sta tioned there can make the inspections of beef . and flour, thereby avoiding the weekly ride , from Fort. Sill to the Wichita Agency. Gen. Pope forwarded this request to Lieat,-Gen. Sheridan, with his disapproval, and Lieat.-Gen. Sheridan made the following indorsement: fully indorse the views of Gen. Pope, and am well satiated, after an experience of more than twenty years, that the principal objection to the troops at the Indian Agencies' and the removal of Indian Agencies away from military posts has for its main motive a desire to cheat and defraud the Indians by avoiding the presence of officers who would naturally see and report it. Against these indorsements SECRETARY SCUUHZ OBJECTED, and now Lieut—Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Shcr-, man declare that from personal knowledge the Fort Sill site is excellent; that the cousolida- , tion would cost $100,000; and that the President and Secretary of the Interior must have been deceived by an Indian Agent. Secretary Schurz says: Without taking notice of that personal point, tho present Indian A?cnt at the consolidated Kiowa, . Comanche, and Wichita Agency had nothing to do with the consolidation. He was apoointed after it bad been determined upon. That measure was or dered. not as Gen. Sherman and Lieut. -Gen. Sher idan seemed disposed to think, at the request of an Indian Agent, for that is not the way business us. done in this Department. In fact, itbad bsennn- ; rter consideration for years. October, 1372, Capt. Henry Alvord, Commissioner to the Kiowa and other tribes, urged the change on various grounds, among others because no Indians of tno reservation were located within a day's march at the Agency. Ko other Agency, he said, had been so misplaced. In the same year Superintend ent Hoag had expressed himself in a similar man- • ner, staling that no Indian Agency should be per mitted at or near a fort, and that the demoralizing intlnencc ufmn the Indians itself Is sufficient for : their separation. , ~ InlS7STauric Tatum, woo had been one of the first and worthiest Agents under the peace policy, said that “from four years’ experience it to'decid edly injurious to an effective working of the Agency to have it nearJFort Sill.” The proximity to the camp, thought very injurious to the In dians. and counteracted the good the Agent to likely to exert He said the officers, while not guilty of Irregnlarities themselves, could not coo- ‘ trol their soldiers. Secretary Schurz says: 1 quote these statements not without a certain - deference. 1 would attach some weight to theia . did I not rememoer that a casual remark made In the presence of several high military officers by the present Commissioner of Indian Affairs, allnd- ■ ing to reports about similar things at another Agency, called forth from these military; officers a voluminous report accompanied by indorsements ' couched in the severest invectives against the • Commissioner, which were promptly published in the newspapers, all intending to vindicate the re markable chasitv of the private soldiers in the regular army of the United States as compared with civilians. Spcctoi-AgentDawortb, ntihuio- # stance of the Board of Indian Commissioners.' also reported agsmst the Agency. In accordance with information received from these several nourcea, the Board of Indian Commissioners. August. 1876, recommended the change. In 1876 and 1877 thu Superintendent and the Chief-Clerk of the Indian Office made an inspection of the Agencies of the Indian Territory, and reported In favor of. aa im mediate change of the Kiowa and Comanche . Agency. Subsequently to the location of the Agency, thev say the large post of Fort Silt bad made henw'draft* upon the grazing and water facilities of the neighborhood, find had seriously curtailed all former advantages of the site, while the disadvantages received from the proximity of troops to the Indian* added greatly to the difficulties of the situation. Besides the moral disadvantages, the location-of the Agency was such that there was no protection from the north winds in winter, which were espe cially severe in that locality op account of the sit uation of the Wichita Mountains. The building* were condemned as unsuitable, and could be only kept from falling to the ground by a complete sys tem of props placed there by the Agent. In some instances the frames of the buildings were moro than a foot from the plumb-lice. the roof* were leaky, and the cottonwood sides shrunk and Gen. Hatch, commanding Fort Sill. said, thdt if these buildings had been directly in uncof the norther a few days before, they would have bccu blown down. The present Chief Clerk of t»»e Indian Bureau, Mr; Leeds, inspected the post in 1877, and made a similar report.- The change of the Ageucv would save a vast sum of monev by al lowing the Indians to banl their own annuity goods and supplies. As a matter of fact. Mr. Leeds ears, the consolidation of the Agencies has thus far resulted in saving the Government an out-
