He committed a burglary on the house of one ol Ids relatives here and lie had to leave Xew Hampshire lor sheep-stealing. He h, is two wives, one living at Slielburn and tile second and latest being a Detroit woman. l"ntil a few days ago he had been living in tlie city just named and has just returned here with ids Detroit helpmate and Ids mother. Prior to that lie had lived in many parts of the country and at one time he followed the sea. In Detroit lie called himself William K. Mossier.

One of tlie curious stories that have gained circulation is that President Ar thur will not make haste to 1111 the otlices which may become vacant between now and .March -I, but will, out of courtesy to Mr. Cleveland, leave them to be filled by his successor. TIiimo reports found so strong a lodgment in the minds of some of the Republicans in wliu-e ."states important otlices are to become vacant befo"' .March -I, that tlie question has becudirectly asked the President whether such reports are true or not. He lias answered that they ate not ; that lie shall fill all coining vacancies that would have occui red at any other time, and just as he .should have done had he been his own succe-sor This has ghen tlie Mepublican olliceseeker- neu hope, and they are at work preparing their slates. It happens that in February and March a number of important four-years otlices will become vacant. This includes some large po.-t-ollices and colli ctorships. Thi' Democrat, see these prize slip lrom theirgrasp with unconcealed dismay. Hut they are likely to have trouble enough with the otlices that will be lelt. .Some of them even almost think that they would be willing to have the civil ser ice 1 ules extended. The spoilsmen at home are not neglecting any opportunities to lile early application for positions. One member from a Western State says that he has al ready received application for every potollice in Ids district, great or .small, and lor some of the otlices lie has a score of applications. In looking over hi lits he Huil that among thu competi tors for the same olllce are to lie found his ino-t intimate friends anil active support ers, and he can alreudy see that upon his decision, if, he .shall be called upon to de cide, tlie continuance of many friendships win depend. Aiiotuer iiiuiiiner lias said that lie can already see that two years from now his nominaatlon may be placed in jeopardy on account of tlie enmities that he is certain to incur in tlio distribu tion of patronage. Another member siiy.s : "I am already half cnuy at the situation, and the trouble ban only just oegun." Another says that he "is receiv ing forty lettets a day asking for places mi derthenewa lnilnistnUion." The olllclals of the present House are even showing concern aootit the anil tv to ho d t he r places. One Mepublican member received n circular to-day, winch had evidently been misdirected, from a Mr. Willing of sew oik, who announced lilniselt a can didate for doorkeeper of the next House. and said that any lavor which he received would no properly reciprocated, (i.A.lt.

All the tribes are at peace with each other and with their white neigh bors. New building" have been erected at several of f lie agencies lor the accom- 1 miidatiiili of the children in tlie boarding schools, Five new boarding schools and 1L! new da schools have been added to the list of .schools In successful operation.' There are now si boarding schools, Ttiday schools mid six industrial or manual labor schools under government control. Four teen boarding and four day schools are supplied with teachers and otheremplnyes by .some one of the various religious de nominations, the government paying a !

I'li'kr the provisions for the placing of Indian children in industrial schools In States at an expense not to exceed silit pe'r capita, .'.iio children have been pint cd in : envois in toe loilowing Mates: iMitisas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illiu as, Indiana, I'eiiu sjlvauia, North Carolina, Tennessee, VTis cousin nnd Mintie-ota. Quite a number of Indian children who have had some training in manual labor schools hnve been placed in private families, maiiilj lrom Carlisle and Hamilton. It is be lieved that hereafter quite a number may be ph-.c 'd in private lamilies from Genoa and l.awre ce. The O.stigcs have taken an advanced position in educational mat I ter, having enacted a law through their 'council leqiiiring eight months' attend . mice at school of each child of school age, or the foifeiture of a year's annuity, 1 amounting to about ?1)0 per capita, iie i side the children in the agency schools they have about loo children al other1 schools away lrom the agency. These In dians are quite willing to pay tor the i schooling ot thiir children out of their tribal funds, ft has been the g.vat object of the de partment, in dealing with the Indian, to 'make him self supporting. When an In ill, m youth has been taught to labur he is 'self-supporting, if an opportunity i pre sented to him to secure employment, one great iliiliculty met witli istliat when the young of both sexes return to the j agency there is no remunerative einploy I incut tor them. They lack capital to open and cultivate a farm, and, if they have ac- quired a trade, they Mud no employment lot that character. It is a necessary that some employment should be secured for I them as it isto teach them to labor.

All' educated Indians should be citizens of the I'nited States, and 1 suggest that those 1 who shall complete the regular course at the several manual labor schools be given citizenship, vvi'liout their incurring the risk of a forfeiture of their interest in either tribal lauds or tribal funds. Tlie greatest agency for the civilisation of tlie Indian isthe manual labor school. The history of the few luminal labor schools established for the education of Indian children has demonstrated their great value, and that it is only necessary to multiply their number, so as to include 1 all the liuliau children of school age, to forever set ut rest the question as to "what shall be done with Hie Indians." An hon est compliance on the part of the govern ment with the conditiuii of the treaties with the varlou tribe concerning school ' will substantially provide all the schools required for the education of all the chil- i dreii of school age vvhoe attendance we can hope to secure. The amount due un- der the various treaties to tlie several trine therein limned, alter deducting all appropriations for school purposes, is H, l)'l.'!,ilu. A large part of the money so i agreed to be paid was in consideration of land ceiled to tin- government by the In- I ilians. It is not a gratuity, but a debt due the Indians, incurred by the government on its own motion, and not at the request of I the Indians. It Is It'iit- that the debt is due to ileoendent and weak neon e who have 'but little disposition to complain of tin- neglect ot the goTerument to lullUl its ob- .ligation, and are wanting in ability to ,,..) !

Not only a direct iienard for our plighted faith demands this, but our interest also demands It. The Secretary repeats the argument in hi former report in support of his recom mendation t tint tlie Indian lie disarmed. At no time in tlie history of our inter course with tlio Indians have they shown a gi eater desire to abandon their savage life than during tlie last year. They have welcomed (with hut few exceptions) all the agencies provided for their benetit, and have shown a commendable disposi thin to adapt themselves to the new order of t flings. They express not only a desire for improvement, but the determination to improve. They give up their children to go to distant parts of tlie cottutiy, to sections unknown to them, in order that they may secure the advantagesof an edu cation and become acquainted witli the ! ways of civlliA'd people. A great nuiii-1 her In the various tribes have made an ellort to contribute .something to the sup-1 i port ot themselves and families. They' are asking for slock cattle, and declare their willingness to take care of them it furnished, and very generally profess a I willingness to do whatever is required of i them in order that they may become self supporting. Hut, like all uneducated peo ple, they are unstable in their opinions and resolves, and need much encourage meut to enable tltem to keep in the way they profess an earnest wish to follow, ' CLOTHING. tucker, calder & co's 13 tlio Heat nml Cheapest.
