EDITORIAL LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Jan. 21, 1889.

DEAR GAzs'r'rnz—The question of an
extra session is still far from being de-
cided in the minds of eminent statesmen.
Many congressmen Seem to think it in.
evitable, while others are quite as positive
that no extra session will be convened.
If all the regular annual appropriation
bills are passed it would seem most prob-
able that the incoming administration
would prefer to avoid the embarassments
and responsibilities sure to attend upon

9. called session.
' THE CABINET.

Our “friends the enemy” are still per-

plexing their virtuous souls about Presi-
dent Harrison’s cabinet, while republicans
seem willing to wait just six weeks from
to—day and see who the distinguished
friends of the government and the repub-
lican party are to be.

run TARIFF.

The Senate has spent much time and
pains in formulating a just, wise and
equitable tariff bill. In doing this they
have had the solid and bitter opposition of
every democrat with the single exception
of independent “Joe” Brown, of Georgia,
who, to his praise be it said, has constant-
ly broken from his party on every item
voted upon, wherein his own honest
judgment forced him to the conclusion
that the country was to be benefitted by
the changes proposed. While the debate
was at its height ex—Rebcl Postmaster-
General Reagan, of Texas, arose and quoted
a speech, strongly supporting his free-trade
views, which he said was delivered by the
great tariff advocate, Henry Clay, of
Kentucky. Senator Teller instantly asked
the date of that speech, and the Texan
gave it promptly, when Mr. Teller again
asked Reagan if he didn’t know that
Henry Clay had been dead six years at the
time given, and moreover that he was
palming off a speech by Clement Clay, of
Alabama, a bot-headed free—trader and
secessionist, as having been made by
Henry Clay? This unexpected and al-
most cruel sweeping away of all the gouty
old Texan’s underpinning so nonplussed
him that the only way he could wriggle
out of his mortifying dilemma was to
arraign Senator Teller for using the offen-
sive words, “palm off,” and he desired
the Colorado senator to withdraw the
same. Mr. Teller promptly, lint courte-
ously, replied that inasmuch as the Texas
senator had charged the republicans of
that body with being willing to violate
the constitution and their oaths to support
the same, he did not feel called upon to
withdraw his words until the senator from
Texas had set the example by his with-
drawing his unwarranted accusation.
The coloquy produced quite a ripple of
interest and merriment to break the dull
monotony of the dry tariff debate, but it
had the effect of inducing Reagan to go to
the reporters and request thathis offensive
and untrue remarks be eliminated. Sena-
tor Teller, learning of this, also ordered
the official scribes to cut off his words
“palm off,” so offensive to the gouty old
Texan, and so the “much ado” ended.
A vote on the senate bill was agreed upon
to be taken to-morrow. This means,
probably, an end of the debate, but the
bill may not pass the Senate as a whole
for weeks to come, and it is 3ertain that it
will not pass the House at the present
session. Senator Plumb has introduced a
bill for the creation of a tariff commission
whose duty it'shall be to carefully con-
sider every item of our tariff laws; take
testimony on points at issue, and to de—
termine what would be most just to all
sections and parties, and to present all
such facts and the commission’s conclu-
sions based thereon to Congress for its
action. The project is endorsed by many
congressmen as promising the easiest and
best way of formulating a satisfactory

tarifl law.
IN THE HOUSE.

The territorial bill absorbed the time
and attention of the House nearly all of
last week. It was a cunning game of
‘fence” on the part of the democrats, so
they should be credited with not desiring
to keep out those territories now knock—
ing at the doors of the Union to be ad-
mitted to the sisterhood of states, and at
the same time that the republican party
should gain no advantages from such
admissions. One good brother from
Florida startled his democratic colleagues
by his want of party prudence, when -he

got the floor, by shouting out at the top .

of his lungs that he didn’t believe in ad—
mitting Dakota and keeping out, Utah.
Utah would go democratic every time,
and, as the democrats had the majority
in the House, they should look out for
their party‘s advantage. Of course this
explosion brought down the House, and
made the pandemonium, which had
reigned there for over a week, all the

more intense.
THE morass.

There was a meeting held here last
week of the various Indian commissioners
and agents, who have the care and ameli-
oration of the Indians in charge. Rev
Dr. Childs was one of the most interesting
and instructive speakers. He spent most
of last summer, under appointment of the
President, as an agent of the government
for the purpose of trying to fix up a treaty
with the Utes, located in Southern
Colorado, for their transfer to a more
desirable reservation. Mrs. Childs ac-
companied her husband, and both had a
novel and enjoyable experience, resulting
in gaining much interesting information
concerning these aborigines. Tile Durango
(Col.) Herald gives many items concerning
the visit of Dr. Childs’ party, some of
which will be of sufficient interest to
Norwalk readers to justify us in copying
them :

On August 1, the Commissioners made
their first visit to Ignacio, the Southern
Ute Agency. The Indians received the
commissioners with disfavor. They looked
upon them as persons who had come for
the purpose of robbing them of their
reservation. One old squaw felt so bad
when they arrived at the agency that tears
rolled down her cheeks while she gave
vent to her anguish by saying: “There
are the men wlio have come to rob and
drive us away from our cherished lands.”
The chiefs and bucks were stubborn.
They absolutely refused to confer with
tllc commissioners until some $1,200,
known as 11 gratuity fund, which the
Indians claimed had been due for nearly a
year, was paid them. The commissioners
found that the money referred to had
been due for some time, and before at-
tempting to treat with them telegraphed
to Washington and secured the money.

During the next two months a series of
four councils were held. At each council
the Utes took decided grounds against
going. They declared there was no land
as good as their present reservation, and
no argument could persuade them differ-
ently... With this was the strong influ»
cnce exerted by certain cattle combinations
and cattiemen~or rather the influence of
their money—who wanted them to remain
so their cattle could graze on their rich
lands. On the 10th of October the com-
missioners left Durango for Southern
Utah with an escort of soldiers. The
party was composed as follows : Dr. and
Mrs. Childs, Judge Smith and Colonel
Weaver—-the commissioners-Lieutenant
Stevens, five soldiers and nine Indians,
three from each of the three bands belong—
ing to the Southern Ute tribe, the Cupolas,
Wimminucbes and Moacbes, and Timothy
J. McClure, the interpreter.

The first two or three days of the jour—
ney was without incident, but the calm
was broken before the Utah line was
reached. When the Dolores river was
reached the Indians called a halt.

Utah was reached on October 16. For
two days the weather was bad—raining
most of the time. Another kick went up
from the red men; they declared that the
“Great Spirit” was against them. The
commissioners spent fourteen days in
looking over the territory, including the
Blue mountain district, camping out in
tentsduririgthe time. The Indians did
not make a lengthy stay, however, after

spending a few days looking over the

country they said they were satisfied With
the land, that it was just as good as the
present reservation, and were Willing to
move. The commissioners were happy.
Their work and perseverance had brought
success when such aglorious resultlookrd
extremely doubtful when they set foot on
the reservation a little more than three
months previous. Preparations were then
actively started for the grand Ute barbe—
cue. Monday was the regular day for the
semi—annual disbursement of annuity
goods. This coupled with the fact that
the commissioners would give the Utes a
barbecue dinner brought in and kept a
large portion of the tribe at the agency all
day. It was deemed best to turn the
beef over to the Utes and let them do the
cooking. Plenty of bread and crackers
were furnished them, and a genuine feast
was enjoyed by the dusky tribe. The
main interest centered in the dancing.
It would take the imagination of Rider
Haggard or Jules Verne to picture or
describe the manuevers of the Indians
when indulging in their favorite amuse-
ment. The dog and festal dances were
gone through with. These dances do'not
materially differ from the regular war
dance, except that the Indians did not go
through the manuevers with guns and
knives in their hands.

Under the head of “notes” the Herald

goes on to say:

The amount of “barbecue an Indian
can stow away” is simply wonderful.

Only two Indians out of the entire lot
were able to sign the treaty by writing
their names.

When the Utes are removed one million
acres of land will be restored to the public
domain.

Mavarico, one of the Indiaps implicated
in the Meeker massacre, was a conspicu-
ous figure among the Indians.

Although the ground was frozen with
occasional patches of snow,most of the
Indians danced with bare feet.

By the removal of the Utes the Herald
will not lose many subscribers. The
Indian has little use for a newspaper.

During the first two months of the
commissioners’ stay at Ignacio, their
lives were threatened twice by the Indians
who were determined not to leave. But
no white feathers were shown, which
probably accounts for the splendid suc.
cess attained.

By the removal of the Utes there will be
thrown open to settlement over 300,000
acres of the finest farming land in Colora-
do. This will provide 1,875 farmers with
160 acres of land each, and have 700,000
acres of land left for grazing and other
purposes. .

Ignacio, chief of the Southern Utes, is a
man who has the respect and admiration
of his tribe. In every sense he. is regarded
as being very strictly opposed to intem—~
perauce, and when any member of the
tribe is caught under the influence of
liquor he is usually severely punished.

The costumes of some of the Indian
ladies who indulged in the dance were
quite charming. Laughing Water was
elaborately attired in a beautiful coat of
crushed strawberry paint and a “G”
string. Miss Chainway was dressed a in
nude, with two eagle fathers and the in—
evitable “G” sti'ing,while Mrs.Doughface’s
costume combined the various colors of
the rainbow artistically displayed over the
body,afew feathers and the usual bar-
barian dress.

The most startling item is the last
paragraph and the suggestion which it
carries, and which almost takes our breath
away, that our,staid and almost severe
clerical friend, Rev. Dr. Childs, should
have been a “lcoker on” while these wild
and untutored children of the plain Were
thus desporting themselves. But perish
any thought of adverse criticism, for bad
it not been presidential election year your
correspondent would have "been there,

too."

Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, will
describe in the February Century the
latest American methods of inex pensive
“Slow Burning Construction" as a branch
of fire insurance, suggesting the construc-
tion of buildings of brick, stone or iron,
with wood interiors, or even of wood
alone, in such a way as to greatly decrease
the fire losses. Mr. Atkinson says: “There
are even now more cities than one in which
a great confiagralidu exceeding that of
either Boston or Chicago awaits but the
accident of a spark and a favorable wind.”

The publishers of Good House/leaping

Rather a Smart Dog, After All.

In California aman borrowed a squirrel
dog of a friend and went gunning. The dog
led him in various directions until he was
tired out and sat down to rest. He launched
many anathemas at the animal as a brute
that knew nothing about the busines for
which he was recommended. The dog, how-
ever, frisked aboutall the same. Presently
he began digging in the ground in a. very en-
thusiastic manner. The disgusted hunter
paid very little attention to this new dodge
until he saw the dog poking some dark object
about with his nose. Going to the spot the
hunter found that the dog had unearthed an
old leather purse. This looked like game at
last. Taking the purse from the dog the
hunter found that it contained 8800 in gold
and $1 insilver. On counting out the find
the hunter concluded that the d was not
such a. “fool critter” after all.— ew York

Blocking Fire Escapes. .

“Why don’t people who live in flat houses
keep their household goods of! the fire as-
capes?” saida fireman to the writer recently.
“They know it is against the law, for every
now and then somebody is fined for it; and
they must know how dangerous it; is in
case offlre. I havo known people deliber-
ately cover up the g in the floor of the
fire escape with boards, so that their children
might playon the balcony in safety, or so
that the washer-woman might hang out the
clothes without getting nervous; seeming to
care nothing that by so doing all seems from
one story to another was wholly cut'ofl. This
seems to be a favorite place, too, for the fam-
ily refrigerator, a neat little thing to remove
inn hurry in case of astampedefromthe
flames. I have seen so muchstuflpiled up
there that the shutters could not actually be
opened wide enough to let a child pas
through, let alone a woman half «used with I
fear. The carelessness of tenants down town,
too, about fire is remarkable. They seem to
think thatif they have their goods insured
thatisallthat is necessary. If there were
no insurance, I don’t believe there would be
half so many flres."-New York Tribune.

.11: Navy Aggregates the Neat Sum of

$274,000.000i-Bow It I. Divided.

‘- I: the combined Vanderbilt wealth were all
in one dollar bills the area of paper would be

' just equal to the amount of white paper re-

quired to print 4,182,558 copies of the eight-
pnge World. If the bills were joined end to
end they would stretch out 31,321 miles, or,
in other words, would go a. trifle more than
once and a quarter around the globe at its
greatest circumference.

Acareful calculation of the wealth of indi-
vidual members of the Vanderbilt family
makes the following exhibit:

Cornelius Vanderbilt ......
William K. Vanderbilt. ..

 
 
 

....... $110,000,000
. . . 85,000,000

Frederick W. Vanderbilt... 10,000,000
George W. Vanderbilt ..... . . . 15,000,000
Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard ................ 12,000,000
Mrs. William D. Sloane ................ 12, 000,000
Mrs. Hamilton McK. ’I‘womlily ........ 12,000,000
Mrs. W. Seward Webb ................ 12,000,000

 

Total ................................. $274,000,000

Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt has no for-
tune in her own name, contrary to the gen-
eral belief. She has an annuity of $200,000.

When William H. Vanderbilt (lied he left
a fortune, in round numbers, of $200,000,000.
It is remarkable how it has increased in the
three years that have elapsed since his death.
Old Commodore Vanderbilt left his grandson
Cornelius $5,000,000, and his other three
grandsons $2,000,000 each. William K. oper-
ated extensively in the stock market five
years ago, and, it was generally understood
at the time, lost his entire fortune, which he
had increased to $5,000,000. He was reported
to have received an allowance of $70,000 a.
year from his father for his personal expenses
thereafter and until the death of the latter.
About the time of or shortly before the ter-
mination of William K35 disastrous expe-
rience in Wall street, Cornelius began specu-
lating,and was reported to have lost about;
$3,000,000 of his fortune, 'whiCh" had, however,
grown to $8,000,000. The fortunes of Fred-
erick and George Vanderbilt had also appre-
ciated in value, though not to the same extent
as the others. Frederiek- had been very suc-
cessful in stock speculations and George had
made highly remunerative investments under
the direction of his father. Altogether, there
was in the family, outside of William H.
Vanderbilt‘s personal fortune, $12,000,000.
Deducting that amount, the wealth of Will-
iam H. Vanderbht has increased $62,000,000
since his death—New York World.
