BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Tue papers of the Northwest are letting

sn a tl which

od of light upon the way in

the affairs of the Indian Department in

that section of Canada are conducted. The otlicials of the department are evidently using their positions to further their own eelfch andes andit ia haned ti their

at exposure by the press wil] have a bene- ficial effect. The Battleford Meraid says :—

“Persistent street talk points toa revo lution being wrought in Lludian aifuirs bere. It had been the boast of Canada that ber freedom from Indian troubles as compared with the United States was due to the honesty with which the wards of the nation were treated and the strict interest taken in guarding their rights from inva sion; and itis no doubt owing to these considerations that half civilized tribes who occupied the plains a few years ago are today peacefully trying to make a living on lines more nearly approaching those of the white man than it was thought poe- sible they could in so short atime.

“Under the new regime thing are being rapidly changed, and the scanty earnings of the Indians are not as judiciously guarded. The menare being encouraged to drive horses instead of oxen, and tbat of course calls for harness. It is general'y understood that by arrangement Mr. Skelton rells harness to the indians and is secured by Mr. Daunais on Indian money of which he has control, The price charged for this harness is 36 dollars a set, and it is notorious that an article of better quality can be supplied at little more than half the money—being in the open market quoted at 25 to 28 dollars, and three times a8 durable and better finish. The Indians are also directed where they must make their purchases of supplies.”

Another paper, the Winnipeg N orwester, in the course of an article bearing upon the same subject says :—

“The Indian Agent who is thus prosti- tuting bis office isthe man to providea position for whom P. J. Williams, who did valiant service on the loyal side in the Saskatchewan Rebellion, was dismissed. He is a man who, when previously ip the Indian service in 1886, was dismissed on a charge of immorality. He i, moreover. one of the three officers of the Battleford Liberal Association who were lately com- mitted for trial for perjury in connection wich charges they made to secure the dise- miseal of the Battleford postmaster. The man Skelton with whom he is standing in on this harness deal is likewise one of those committed for trial on the same charge. With a man of Daunais’ stamp as Indian Agent, it is by no means Surprising to hear of the introduction of such practises as the Battleford Herald complains of. The Battleford spoilsmen seeem to be adepts in their profession. They not only grabthe offices but they immediately begin working the offices for allthatis in them. The salaries are apparently insigniticant in comparisen with the pickings. It is no doubt a glorious sign of the red man’s progress in civiliza- tion that he is being made to discard oxen for horses. But the red man is ecareely likely to enthusiastically appreciate the advantages of advanced eivilization when he finds that it involves his paying $36 for a $25 set of harness.”

In the interests of the Indians and for the peace and better geverament of Canada it is hoped that the men who so prostitute their offices will be promptly brought to task and punished as they deserve. Such men as tbe agent under review should not be given office by any government.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

— The Guardian says: “It is announced that the colored cotton mills of Cornwall are now 1unning on full time, this being the first occasion on which they have done s0 for two years. This would indicate that the new tariff bas not yet ruined the textile industry in Canada to the extent predicted.” It may be interesting to the Guardian to know that the present government last session increased the tariff on the class of goods manufactured by the Cornwall mill.

—Moncton Times: Mr. Wade, who wrote a pamphlet on the Manitoba school question which was ueed a3 @ Campaign document by the liberals, has been re- warded with a lucrative position in the law department of the Yukon district. The

judiciary, as well as the various depart- ments of the public service, is be'ng eleared of the suspicion of partizanship by the appointment to positions of strong liberal per-izans,

Senator Pettus’ Prophecy.

This isa story that an Alabamiam tells about Senator Pettus and ex-Sena-- tor Pugh: first administration Mr. Pettus was anxious to fill the place on the supreme court bench to which Senator Lamar was afterward appointed. He applied to his friend Senator Pugh, and the latter made an earnest and sincere ap- peal for the appointment of Mr. Pettus. The president inquired as to the age of Pettus, and when informed said he was too old. Senator Pugh communicated this fact to Pettus, and also suggested to another eminent but younger lawyer | in his state to apply for the place, as it was a settled fact that a southern man would surely succeed to the vacancy.. Senator Pettus heard of Senator Pugh’s: letter to the other friend, and it made him mad. Coming to Washington, he called on Pugh and asked him why he did not stand out for him. Pugh ex-~ plained that Mr. Cleveland would not alter his determination about not ap- pointing a man of Pettus’ age, but this. did not satisfy Pettus. Before leaving Pugh Pettus said, ‘Well, I may be too old to sit on the supreme bench of the land, but I am not too old to sit imthe senate, and your seat will just about fit Pettus was as good as a prophet, He succeeded Senator Pugh on the 4th of March last, and if I am not mistaken

| ocenpies the identical seat which Pugh

occupied during a former term. Sena- tor Pugh was 77 last December. Sena- tor Pattus is 76.’’—Washington Post,
