TERRITORIAL TOPICS.
GOV. C-TORCH AND railroads.
When the new governor of Dakota an
nounces his cabinet and puts up a new
slate of territorial officials, one of the first
and most sweeping signs of reform will be
iu his recommendations with regard to the
railroads in the territory. It is said that he
will remove every railroad, commissioner
who is in the slightest . respect connected
with any of the large railroad corporations
that gridiron the territory. There is more
than one man in the present board of com
missioners who will have to go. Any man
in that board who retains the slightest
marks of identification with any of the
railroads, or attempts in any way to block
the efforts of an anti-monopoly legislature
ind a clean-cutting reform governor,
would be a good deal better off politically
if he had a millstone about his neck anil was
cast into the depths of the Jim river. Gov.
Cncncir will do exactly what the old gang
do not want him to do, anel he will do it
without the slightest sign of hesitation, or
fear of rebuke. •
- DAKOTA LAND OFFICES.
Of the twenty public land offices in Da
kota twelve have been changed and eight
remain to be filled by Democrats. Of these
eight, but one can be considered a vacancy,
and that is the receivership at Deadwood.
James P. Lcse, the register there, was
appointed in October, 1883, by President
Aiithuk, and when congress met he was
reappointed on the 12th of December. Ac
cordingly his term expired last month. Mr.
Luse is a square-toed Republican and
tendered ids resignation promptly after
Ci.kvf.laxd's inauguration, but no ac
ceptance was made of it because he is tin ex
cellent official and there was no desire on
Gen. Spabks' part to have his place filled
by any one else. The seven offices still re
maining in the hands of the Republicans
are the receivership at Fargo, the register
ship at Bismarck, the registership at Devil's
Lake, both register and receiver at
Grand Forks and the same at
Mitchell. Register Rea, at Bismarck,
is an excellent official, and it is said that
Gen. Sparks has no disposition to accede
to his retirement from the office. His
term will not expire until July, 18SS, and,
unless he insists on getting out, he will
probably not be disturbed. The term of
Register Tiffaxy, at Grand Forks, ex-
pires Feb..2S, 1888, and that of Mr. Ax-
DEBSO*. the receiver at Grand Forks, ex-
pires the 5th of April, 1888. In all proba-
bility both of these gentlemen will be suc
* ceeded by Democrats before long. The
registership at Devil's Lake becomes vacant
on the 11th of February, 18SS, and there
will probably be a change there.
CAPITAL, REMOVAL.
A New York friend of Gov. Ciiur.cn j
has inadvertently dropped a hint about the
reasons which impel the president to ignore
Dakuiians so much as he has in the affairs
of the territory. The president has been
told that a Dakota man, whether a Repub
lican or Democrat, is always Yon the make,"
and that when the Democrats came into
power there was an instant feeling among
the Democrats in Dakota that a change of
the capital could be effected under the new
administration, provided the officers of the
territory, 'according "to - the Chicago plat
form, should be given to Dakota men. This,
Gov. CHURCH'S New York friend claims.
is the secret of the determined resistance to
the division-oil the territory. With Dakota's
enormous area intact, Bismarck is not a
central point for the capital, neither
geographically nor according to popu
lation or means of transit. He says that if
Dakota can be admitted with its bound
aries untouched, the Democratic majority
in the house would insist upon the selec
tion of some more central point for a cap
ital. Huron lias been boomed as the cap
ital of the proposed state of South Dakota,
but Aberdeen has many points in its favor
as the seat of government, if the territory
Is admitted as a whole. The boom in real
estate which could be created at any point
by a relocation of the capital is motive
enough for a combined effort in this direc
tion. A good many fair-sized fortunes
could be made if the movement succeeded.
The scheme, of course, involves the co
operation of the Democrats and a few Re-
publicans in the territorial legislature.
JUDGE SPENCER'S APPOINTMENT
The allegation that Judge CHCBCH named
Judge Spencer to the president when he
was in Washington is absolutely untrue.
The attorney general was instructed in tiiat
matter before Gov. Church arrived to
Washington. In fact, the appointment of
Judge Spencer was agreed upon when it
was decided to appoint Gov. Church, and
that was in November last, before Mr.
Pierce tendered his resignation. Mr.
Spencer is said to be one of the most
finished lawyers to the Empire state, and
his friends say that he will soon demonstrate
to the people of the Empire of the North
west that the president did wisely and well
in sending him there to fill the bench of the
able judge who has been elevated to the
governorship of the territory. It is said
that the judge was reluctant to accept the
position when tendered him. because he did
not want to go to Dakota and be received
with predjudice and enmity by the people
with whom he must make his abode. The
office was not of his seeking.
Among the most notable land cases in the .
history of the territory was one in Hanson
county, recently determined by Judge Tripp, .
in which be ordered the man who held the
patent to deed the land to the contestant upon
payment of costs. In 1878 or 1879 one Duke
ion Bled upon the claim without having
established a residence, and went away. In
1880 one Curtis fllod on the land, alleging '
abandoincnt by Dukelon. His claim was
regarded as sure. The contest went on. and
was finally decided by the land office in favor
of West, and the commissioners approved the
findings and ordered Dukelon's entry can
celed. This was in 1888. Dukelon came
back and took advantage of the June act of
congress of 1SS0. He was not allowed to
prove up, but subsequently the commissioner
reversed his decision us to the cancellation,
and allowed Dukelon to prove up aud take
bis patent, which he did. But West had
possession of the land, winch ha d become
very valuable, and refused to (rive up. The
matter has been contested in the courts ever
since, jua^es being slow to monkey with
patents, but Judge Tripp has taken hold of
it, and decided that a patent is not conclu
sive as to rights of property.
A great many people are said to be readv to
cross the Missouri and squat upon the reser
vation lands as soon as the Dawes bill passes
congress. The experience of the Crow Creek
settlers should suggest that there is danger
in presuming upon the leniency of the gov
ernment. If the bill passes, at best it would
be six months or more before settlers couM
have any rights upon the land, and it is very
doubtful that the required number of the red
possessors of that country will give their con
gent to the requirements of the bill. The
Rapid City Journal. in throwing out a caution
ary word, says: "They should not lose sight
of "the provision regarding the necessity of
securing the signatures of three-fourths of
the male adult Indians to the cession. Such
provision may cause no end of trouble and
difficulty. It is the opinion of those who are
familiar with the sentiment of the Indians on
this matter that tbe required number of signa
tures will not be easily obtained." Still the
passage of the bill is generally desired, that
* beginning may be made that will lead
eventually to the opening.

Bismarck, Dak., Jan. 14. — The way the a
legislature stands now North Dakota is in J
reach of all the plums, and a South Dakota ' c
member said yesterday they proposed to
pluck them. North Dakota had had her
way in the past, and the South didn't pro
pose to be bamboozled any more. They had
posed Bismarck would be; satisfied when _
she got the capitol, but instead she seemed
anxious to bag everything, aud the conclu- £
sion was reached that it was about time to
sit down on her. The South Dakota people (
were disposed to be fair, and would have ,
accepted a Central or North . Dakota man i
for speaker of the house if they were as
sured that he was not bound by any par- \
ticular faction. J. H. Fletcher, of Aber- '
deen, killed himself by refusing to give up <
his anti-division convictions, and Monday t
night, while the wild and woolly solons t

were trying to unite on some man to pre
1 side over them, he was hauled out of his
bed three times and pleaded with to say
that he was a divisionist and he might have
' the speakership. This he absolutely re
fused to do. D. S. Dodds. of Lakota, tin
homeliest man in the house, came
WITHIN AN ACE
of receiving the nomination. The South
l Dakota men were willing to support him in
the belief that he was fair and would rule
impartially, but the willingness of the
South to accept Dodds aroused the sus-
picion of Sullivan, of Plankinton, and Men
» zer. of Mitchell, and they refused to gt
into the caucus. This killed Dodds off,
and E. A. Williams, of Bismarck, whose
ambition is constantly reaching out foi
something to grip, thought he saw a loo*.
hole through which he could crowd intc
the speakership, and he probably would
have succeeded had not the South Da-
kotans caught on to him and, reorganizing
with a determination to unite on any man
rather than to see the honor go to a Bis
" marck representative, they settled on
Crosse, a Hyde county farmer, and elected
i him, much to the chagrin of Williams ant
his friends, who were hopeful to the last,
, and. after the first ballot, which was an in
formal one. was taken in the house Tues-
day morning, giving Crosse a big majority.
Sullivan made a motion that the house ad-
journ till noon the next day, with the hope
that Williams' friends would be able to cau-
cus and put up a combination by which he
would be elected. But the South Dakota
clans were not to be hoodwinked; they saw
the game, buried the motion, and elected
their man on the next ballot.
A WORD ABOUT CBOSSE.
It is hardly possible that the house could
have made a better choice for speaker than
they did when they threw the toga over the
shoulders of G. C. Crosse. One would get
the impression at the first glance at him
that he was rather below the ordinary grade
in point of intellect, and when he mounted
the speaker's stand Tuesday afternoon
those who were unacquainted with the man
smiled under their hands and wondered
"what in the d 1 that fellow could say."
Before, lie had finished they discovered that
he was no slouch by several mile stones,
and he delivered an address that was elo
quent and polished. He is a very heavy
set man. with no superfluous flesh on his
tall, broad frame. His limbs seem to have
been moulded for a giant, and his shoulders
look broad and strong enough to bear up
the Western hemisphere. His hands half
cover the top of the speakers desk, and he
wears a Xo. 14 boot. A massive head sits
firmly on a short thick neck, ami over a
broad forehead a shock of black hair lies
neatly and submissively. His eyes are blue
and full of good nature. He dresses plainly
but neatly, and his movements are awk
ward, but when he
BRINGS HIS GAVEL DOWN
on his desk with a force almost to split it,
the bouse immediately comes to order and
he rules with an easy grace that proves him
a first-class parliamentarian. He is slow to
anger, but when his wrath is once aroused
he is a hard man to handle. A story is told
of how a few nights ago, about midnight,
he happened to be walking along Third
street on his way to the hotel. Just as he
reached a dirk alley two men stepped out
and. holding a pistol each side of his head,
ordered him to hold up bis hands.
"Not by a d— d sight." replied Crosse, "It a
too cold, an' 1 haint got any mittens with inc."
"Hold up yer hands, ordered the men,
"or we'll shoot yer full er boles."
"Shoot and be doirgoue," said Crosse. "I
hain't done nutbin* I'm ashamed of. an' I
might as well drop off now as ever, I sup-
. ..... . ;. ..-
pose.
The men had gradually edged closer to the
speaker of the house, and suddenly sprang
at him and grasped his arms. He coolly
pulled his hands from his pockets; caught
the two men by the .neck, and pounded
their heads together until their cries at
tracted the attention of a policeman, who
came-: up and was about to arrest them,
when': Crosse tossed them out into the gutter
and told the officer not to bother with them,
as they were friends of his and they were
only having a little fun among themselves.
Crosse picked up the pistols the men had
dropped, and putting them in his pocket
went to his hotel. When he reached his
room be pulled the pistols out to examine
them and found that they were whittled
out of pine. He will keep them as moiuen
toes of his first visit to Bismarck.

Special to the Globe.
■Bismarck, Jan. 14.— Gov. nerce is an j
utertaining reader, and. his message as
ead by. himself Wednesday to the joint
ession'made a much deeper impression on
he legislators than it would have done had
ie entrusted its reading to the clerk of the
ouncil. Ted Kingsbury suspected that
ie would be called upon to read it, and as
I would take him at least an hour and a
lalf he hid himself in a committee-room to
"scape the thankless job, but Teddy was
lot called upon. The governor was evi
lently proud of an opportunity to address
uch a body of intelligent men. and he did
t effectively. The governor's long experi
tnce as a newspaper man enabled him to
lang his message on wires of harmony, and
vhen he pulled off the different sections
,nd dissected them before the eyes and
ais of his hearers they came to
ileces to regular order and with
nit , a hitch or unpleasant jar.
ile was one hour and fifteen minutes read
rig it. but there was not an expression of
veariness on the face of a single represen
ative or councilman. The attention they
>aid to the speaker and the signs of ap
iroval that they gave his suggestions were
iroofs enough that they were listening to a
nan in whom they had the greatest confi
leuce, whose ideas they respected, whose
•pinions they honored. As that portion of
lie message was read relating to the tern
ary and the seemingly hopeless struggle it
vas making to get

poke of his administration, his pleasant
ssociations with the people, and the ap
uoach of the hour when he must give up
lie field in which he had labored so long
ml interestedly, to his successor, his voice
;rew husky with emotion and his eyes tilled
vith tears, and several men in the audience
vera seen to gnaw their finger nails and f re-
Ittently wipe their noses. After the disso
ution of the joint session, territorial officers.
uembers of the legislature and citizens
gathered in little knots in the corridors and
oinmented in words of praise on the mes
age. They all spoke admiringly of its
:lear and comprehensive statements, its im
mpartial recommendations and its undis
posed loyalty to Dakota and per people.
That portion of the message relating to the
ailroads and railroad commissioners made
i deep impression. The suggestion that
maginary or pretended objections on ac
count of conflicts of opinion in the territory
vould be obviated by submitting the divi
iion question to the people, was unani
mously favored. It was a masterly effort
levoid of big words, ambiguous sentences

Dakota papers are discussing the necessity
*>r immediate increase of facilities for the
:arc of the insane of the territory. The asy
m for the insane at Yankton is represented
is being already overcrowded, so that it is
mpossible to receive patients ex-
•ept as inmates are discharged . to
mike room. It is further said that even
low the accommodations are so crowded as to
nterfere with the proper treatment, of pa-
ients. There arc, moreover, a great many
nsane confined in jails, wnere, of course,
hey cannot be properly treated. The situa-
ion, according to these representations, is a
rood deal as it was in Iowa, prior to the innug-
lration of the new asylum at Clarinda to ad-
litions to the old asylums. Many Dakota
mpers are u.cordingly calling upon the leg-
slature to make liberal appropriation foren-
nrgirig the asylum at Yankton. An appro-
>riation lor this purpose was refused bv the
ast territorial legislature, but strong efforts
_ ill be made to secure $70,000 at the ensuing
cssion.

I A Noticeable Letting Down.
amestown Capital.
There is such a noticeable letting down in
ie tone and dignity of the Dakota depart-
lent of the Pioneer Press of last Saturday
bat one would hardly recognize it as the pro-
uct of Gov. Pierce, and we are lead to be-
eve that in the rush of preparation for the
leeting of the legislature the governor en-
rusted bis editorial work to a clerk and sent
he copy to the publisher without revision.
'he disparaging personal reference to Con-
ressman Springer is so unbecoming the abil-
:y and dignity of the governor tbat the Capi- j
at is disposed to question the authorship of i
he editorial article. The editorial may have
een smuggled into the office by some one of
lie South Dakcti statehood fire-eaters, as it
5 imbued with the spirit tbat has predomi-
ated In that section for several years under

; Marshal D. W. Maratta, United States Dis-
trict Attorney John E. Carland and Judge
i William II. Becker, candidate for appoint-
ment as attorney general to succeed Engle.
J In speaking of the rumor to the effect that
) | he is seeking appointment as territorial
auditor, Capt. Maratta pronounced the re
' port false in every particular.
"I would be foolish," said he, "to give up
the oflice 1 now hold under the government
for the auditorship, or any other territorial
office. My present position pays me well
enough, and I am so well satisfied that I will
not seek appointment under Gov. Church.
And all this talk In the newspapers about
Commodore Coulson; of Yankton, being in
the field for appointment as treasurer under
tho new executive is utterly untrue
and nonsensical. Coulson does not want any
office. He is well fixed financially and too
fond of a quiet life to enter actively into poll
tics. Cut he is a man of sterling worth, just
the same, and there is no office in the terri
tory which he Is uot competent to fill — not
even excepting the governorship. I have not
been to Bismarck this winter; and don't ex
pect to go there. I am now on my way to at
tend a session of the United States court."
A POSSIBLE SLATE.
"The slate will be Day for auditor, Maratta
for treasurer and myself for attorney gen
eral." said Judge Becker in reply to an inter
rogative put to him by the Globe reporter
relative to the men who would bo appointed
to fill the three most important offices at the
disposal of the governor. But the judge con
tinue 1: "Oh, don't put that down. I was
merely joking. Day deserves something, I
think, and will probably get it. but whether
in the shape of an appointment by the gover
nor, or to a land office by the president, is
uncertain. I don't think Maratta is after the
auditorship, as he has a good office now."
Judge Becker was quiet as to his own
candidacy and would neither confirm or
deny the rumor that he longs to fill the of
ficial shoes of Attorney General Enele.
Attorney Carland, as usual, was exceed
ingly reticent on the subject of politics, and
professed ignorance of everything connected
with political matters in the territory. Like
Capt. Maratta, he is en route to Deadwood,
where he will represent the government at
the approaching session of the United
States court.
-JENNY HAN\AFI*«.
His Method of < acting a Tem-
perance -fleeting-.
Special to the Globe.
Bismarck, Jan. 14.— I found Denny
Ilannaliu to-day pacing up and down the
main corridor of the capitol in an uneasy
sort of a way. I approached Denny and
shook hands with him. Denny shakes
hands in much the same way that a well
trained dog would hand you his front foot
if you asked him to give you his paw. lt
is a cold, clammy, motionless sort of a
shake, and chills your blood rather than
gives you the impression that you have
hold of a certain portion of a human being.
Denny remarked that this was the third
time that he had visited the capitol building
since its erection, lie incidentally stated
that he had taken a meat deal of interest
in its removal from Yankton, and when the
North Dakota clans put their shoulder to
the wheel of the dump cart that took it
from the South Dakota city and dumped it
on the plains of North Dakota, he joined
the rest of the gang and helped push the
dump cart northward.
"1 m only a small, msignincent sort of a
Democrat nowadays." said Denny. "I might
be a commodore if I owned a yawl on the
Missouri river or a steamboat with a wheel
attached to the behind end to kick it up and
down the valley, but I don't, and I'm
AH 111. Mil ■ DEMOCRAT
and a d — d humble one, too. I have been
right her« in this town for the last thirteen
years, and been a, delegate to every Demo
cratic convention held in this county, but I
don't ask any odds of these big guns. I get
along without them lirst-rate, and tbey don't
bother inc. I went round and bought up all
the small claims for $100, $500 aud $1,000,
held by people on this capitol build
ing. You see the capitol was built
by a subscription of $100,000, made up by the
people of Bismarck, and many of the citizens
paid as low as .5, and the sums ranged up
ward till they reached into tbe thousands. I
went around and bought up all these small
claims that I could get hold of, a sort of spec
ulation, you see. 1 reckon the grass will bo
as green on my grave as a feather on an
Irishman's hat on St. Patrick's day before I
realize anything off the venture, but then I
took a chance, lt is like placing your money
on the eagle when you are playing roulette.
If the ball stops on the bird you get twenty
seven lor one.
Denny had the reputation at one time of
being the boss gambler of the Missouri river
valley. That was several years ago, when
it paid a man to play a strictly honest
name, and each player protected his pile
with A seven shooter.
This is the kind of game that Denuy plays
nowadays. He has not departed from the
time rule. He believes that honesty is
the best policy, and when he gets mixed up
iu a game with modern gamblers he in
variably gets the worst of it, for they will
-■heat, and that is something that Denny
loesn't know how to do and do it success
fully. ' Denny plays but little poker nowa
iays. He is paying attention to reforma-
ory movements. A short time ago he or-
ganized a temperance society, and one even-
ng delivered an address that drew to the
society hall one of the largest and most
select audiences that has ever greeted a
speaker in Bismarck. He poured out his
Eloquence for an hour and a half and was
piietly and attentively listened to by his
uiditors, who frequently applauded his
■ratory. At the close of the meeting he to-
iled a couple of deacons of the Baptist
hutch down to Griffin's saloon to have a
ink.
•'I thought you was a temperance man?"
jaculated the deacons in some surprise.
"So I am," replied Denny, "but I'm d — d if
'in a tot al abstainer. If you don't want to
ome and drink with me you can make a
neak. 1 propose to moisten my weazen be-
ore I go atween the sheets."
And bidding the astonished deacons good
light. Denny tipped his hat on the back of
is head, sauntered round the corner to
Iriffin's saloon, where he absorbed his cus-
omary night cap. Tee Aitch.

NEEDS OF THE RED MAN
Readable Report of Supt. Riley on the
Condition of the Indian Schools
of Dakota.
The Territory Has Fifty Such Institutions
Wholly or Partly Supported by
Uncle Sam.
But Three of These Industrial Schools
—The Indian Should be Edu-
cated at Home.
Recommendations In Regard to a
Training School, Indian Hos-
pitals and Other Matters.
Speeial to t he Globe.
Washixgtox, Jan. 14.— The Indian
schools in Dakota, according to the report
of Supt. Riley this year, are improving in
character from year to year. Dakota has
more Indian schools than any other state
or territory in the United States, and her
people seem lo be more thoroughly inter
ested in the whole subject of Indian educa.
tion than the people of any other sectic
of the country. There are in Dakota ju
fifty Indian schools. These are supporte
in whole or in part by the government.
The expenditure by the government for
last year was something over 3120,000. Of
these fifty schools eight are mission schools
maintained by religious societies. Most of
these are ordinary day schools which carry
the little Indian boys and girls simply
through the rudimentary books. There are
in tho whole number, however, fifteen
boarding schools where pupils are kept
wholly under the control of their teachers
and are taught more thoroughly the ways
of civilization. There are but three indus
trial schools — that established by Rev.
Thomas L. Riges at Oahe, fifteen miles
north of Pierre, the industrial school at
THE SISSETON AGENCY
and the school at Yankton. Many of the
Indian youth of Dakota, however, are sent
to the Santee normal and industrial school
on the Sautee reservation in Nebraska,
where Rev. Mr. Biggs has built up
an institution which is regarded by the
Indian oflice here as in all probability the
most practical and helpful of its kind in the
country. It has turned out excellent In
dian mechanics and demonstrated that
there is a practical advantage in educating
the Indian in his own country rather than
in sending him to the East, where a change
of climate and an exaggerated shifting of
social relations inflate his mind with ideas
of life which he might better never have
received. The proportion of Indians edu-
cated in industrial arts on the reservations
who succeed when they go back to their
tribes is much larger than that sent out by
the industrial schools located on the At-
lantic sea board. Missionary societies have
expended during the past year for Indian
j schools in Dakota something over 528,000.
I This amount
HAS BE-..* EXPENDED
under tlie Board of Home Missions, Presby
terian church; American Missionary asso
ciation. Congregational church; the Bureau,
of Catholic Indian missions; Board of For
eign missions, Presbyterian church and
Protestant Episcopal church. The govern
ment, through the commissioner of Indian
affairs, has at many of these schools paid a
certain contract sum for each pupil. There
used to be a time when different rates were
paid for these pupils, but Commissioner
Atkins has established the uniform allow
ance of .08 per annum in Dakota and
other territories, except New Mexico. Ari
zona and California, where S150 is .allowed
because of the greater expense., of:? njainte
nance. Many of the missionaries in private
schools receive no pay for their services,
and give their lives as a dedication to the
work of Indian education. Superintendent
Riley says that to this self-sacrificing devo
tion is largely due the civilization and pres
ent prosperous condition of many of tho
tribes. lie earnestly recommends that
these good people should all receive the en
couragement and co-operation of the gov
ernment employes. During the past year
there has been employed in Dakota thirteen
new day schools at the various agencies.
The school at Fort Stevenson, Dak., by au
thority of Secretary Lamar,
HAS BEEN SEPARATED
from the control of the Indian agent at that
place and put in charge of a bonded super-
intendent. The school occupies the build-
ings formerly occupied for military pur-
poses, which have been thoroughly repaired
and enlarged so as to accommodate 250 pu-
pils. The superintendent says that gradu- •
ates of reservation schools in Northern
Montana should be sent there for instruc-
tion in mechanical trades, for which pur-
pose the buildings and outfit are well
adapted. Of the Sioux in Dakota, Mr.
Riley says that they are not only willing,
but anxious to have their children taught.
He recommends that a large industrial
school be established for the Sioux r# pro-
vided for in the treaty of 18G8. This treaty
provides that a school house and teacher for
every thirty children be furnished by the
government, which has never been done,
and Mr. Riley thinks the government is
now indebted by solemn treaty obligations
to the Sioux to the amount of $2,500,000,
A training school, he thinks, should be es-
tablished near the Great Sioux reservation
in Dakota, and graduates of the day and
reservation schools should be sent there for
higher instructions. This he regards as
only an act of
PARTIAL JUSTICE
to people who have been so long deprived!
of higher educational facilities. As to the
general question of Indian capability, Mr.
Riley says that there can be no doubt that
the Indian is progressing towards the white
man's way of living and thinking, but he
does not believe that educated Indian boys
md girls can be expected to depend upon
-.heir education for a living when they go
sack to the reservations where their fathers
md mothers live upon the rations issued by
,he government for their support. Under
favoring conditions the Indian, he says, is
billing to work and apt to learn. The
schools will be found,tlie most potent fac-
ors in breaking up tribal relations and
eading the Indians to engage in agricult-
ual pursuits. When the Indian lands are
old and the proceeds applied to the main-
enance of schools for Indian youth, and
lie adult Indians take to working for a liv-
ng, the young people who have been edu-
ated will have more chance in life and
heir learning will have a market. As it is,
t is simply sunk in a mass of ignorance and
avage pauperism. Mr. Riley especially
loints out that the peaceable condition of
.11 Indian tribe does not argue its prosper-
ty and
PROGRESS IN CIVILIZATION;
hat many of the most peaceable tribes are
he most degraded. We believe the time
las come to establish Indian libraries, where
he young children who have been taught to
ead English books may go on with their
ending and cultivate a love of literature.
le also thinks that the Indian children
hould be instructed ' in the nature of
lcoholic drinks and narcotics, so that there
nay be disseminated anions: the tribes a
:nowledge of the evils that lie in intemper-
Hnce. He points out the fact that nearly
Hll of the Indian schools are without hos-
Hital facilities, and recently.it became neces-
Hiry to disband one ot the schools because
Hf the appearance of a contagious disease.
It many of the agencies there are no facili-
Hes whatever for the care of the sick. The
Hhysician may do all he - can. but if an
Hndian becomes seriously sick there is very
Httle chance of his recovery. lie is left in
His tepee with all the squalid surroundings
Hud neither nursing nor medicine can do .
Hindi good for him. The attention of con-
Hress is earnestly called by this report to
