AN IMPROVED CONDITION OF TUB INDIAN
1'OPUI.ATtoN LAND XK.EI1KD FOR

AltKA OP LAND GRANTS.
Secretary Lamar, of tlio Interior De
partment, in report for tliu last fiscal
year, sajB : There has been a steady
though not rapid improvement in thu
moral, material, and intellectual condi
tion of the mass of tho Indian popu
lation during tho past twolvo months.
They aro moro tractable : fewer crimes
and depredations aro charged against
them ; moro of them than at any prior
period aro engaged in useful and profit
able industries ', moro than over beforo
aro located upon individual allotments
of lands, tilling tho soil and living in
houses. Moro havo kid aside tho
blanket for tho dress of civilization.
Tho average attendance of children lu
the schools is about 1,G00 greater than
horotofore, and many moro of tho par
ents are anxious for the education of
their children.
Tho Choycnne and Arnpahoo lleser
vation in tho Indian Territory furnish
es a striking illustration of this improve
ment. During tho past year quiet and
order have prevailed upon tho reserva
tion. Thero has bef n an increase of
over 1,500 ncrcs in cultivation ; farms
havo been fenced by Indians, who have
built for this purpose 100 miles of
fencing. Tlwy havo cut and put up
for winter uso moro than 400 tons of
hay ! have ( hauled over 1,000,000
pounds of freight from tho railroad to
tho agenoy j aud havo over 150 moro
of their children in schools. Nearly
all of tho "squaw men" on this reser
vation havo become legally married to
their Indian wives in conformity to tho
requirements of this department.
There are other evidences of a differ
ent character showing that tho work
of Indian civilization is progressing
under the present management of tho
Indian Bureau. The estimates present
ed for the Indiau service for the en
suing year aro $422,386.20 less than
those o'f last year, and $1,719,170 less
than those of tho year previous.
Theso things all considered show that
tho work of elevating the race is bear
ing fruit. While the Indians on their
part are advancing, the Bureau is re
tiring by the reduction of its expendi
tures. The salaries allowed Indian agents
aro too small to secure for such positions
men of the broad views and great abil
ity required to lay before tho Depart
ment the best and most economical
plans of procedure, to" insure the suc
cessful advancement of tho Indians. It
is believed that tho saving, which would
result from the intelligent work of
such a commission would many times
exceed tho amount required for its
maintenance.
The industrial school near Salem,
Oreg., and tbo Carlisle school are both
in need of moro land for tho proper
training of Indian pupils in agricultur
al industries. Congress was requested
at its last session, to authorize tho pur
chase of 84.02 acres for the first-named
school at tbo total cost of $1,500, to bo
paid in labor -to bo performed by the
Indian pupils attending said school,
and tbo grant of authority, with the
necessary appropriation, was also re
quested for tho purchaso of 109 acres
adjoining Carlisle school, at a cost ot
$18,000. Theso measures received the
sanction of tho Senate, but failed to
become laws. Tho above named
schools are doing good work, and I
hope that Congress will nor, withhold
from them the moans necessary for
training the Indian children in farming
industries, which, of all others, aro
best suited to their persent circumstan
ces. The farming operations among tho
Indians havo increased in extent dur
ing tho yoar, but a season of drought
especially in the Northwest, has not
only limited tho yield but greatly dis
couraged many of tho Indians who
havo realized very little from their
farming endeavors. Another cause
for discouragement in their farming
operations is tho difficulty which they
havo in finding convenient markets for
the produce raised by them. There is
littlo if any demand on their reserva
tions for any surplus grain and other
products of tho soil the result of their
labor. Thoy cannot be easily induced
to engage in industrial pursuits unless
their labor is in ado remunerative
During tho fiscal years 1885 and 188G
the Indians, mainly the "Whito Mount
ain band, located near Fort Apache, on
tho White Mountain Reservation, in
Arizona, raised and sold to tho Quart
ermaster's Department, 127,710 pounds
of corn, 74,325 pounds barley, and 1,
481,991 pounds hay, from which thoy
realized .S20.139.80,
Tbo area of publio land') disposed of
during the last tisoal year aud tho re
ceipts from ihe roport of the Commiss
ioner of tho General Laud Ofiiue foots
up to 23,320,099.85 aores. Not inolud
ed in the foregoing are 2,003,531,83
acres of final homeetchd entries, and
141,093.97 acres of final timber-culture
entries, inadu duriug. tho year thu areas
of which you havo reported heretofore
in the original entries of tho respective
classes. In additiou to the preceding
tho following entries were made. Num
ber of pre-emption filings, 50,070 ;
number of soldiers' declaratory etnio
menas, 2,391 ; number of filings on
Indian lands, 0,772 ; miscellaneous fil
ings 2,021 j total 02,400. Theso fil
ings cover an area of 8,432,000 aores.
Tho cash roceipts of the foregoing
amounted to 9.031,081.34.
The constantly enhancing valuo of
tho publio timber and Ihe rapid destruc
tion which is going on demand careful
consideration aud immediate action by
Ooiigrtw,
As shown by the report of the Com
missioner of the General Land Oilico,
375 unlawful inelosurci, coutaining an
urea of some 0,410,000 acres havo been
brought to attention up to the present
lime. It is believed that this doos not
represent nearly tho area illegally in
closed Proceedings to compel removal
havo been brought involving 2,250,000
aores. Decrees havo been obtained for
removals' from moro than 1,000,000
acres, Cases embracing 3,750,000
acres aro pending examination, and
from a part of these fouces aro now bo
icg removed. Tho total area from
which fences have been and aro bemir
removed, in shown by tho report of tho
Commissioner, is 2,714,020 acres,
Doubtliss a better hhoAlug would have
been with rofcreiico to theso enclosures
if tho Department had had tho means.
of employing the number of agents
necessary for tho prosecution of tho
work.
Another obstnelo In tho adinlnistr.i
tlon and enforcement of tho law has
been tho largo grant of lands that has
been made in alternate sections to rail
roads alonct their lines. In Wyoming
tho railroads have parted with tholr
U.I .1 -1. ' . il I
lilies in invso iiiiurii'uu weuuuiiB, uuu
tho purchasers havo orectcd fences upon
them in s-'oh n way as not to build
upon any lands bdlonging to tho Gov
ernmcnt, nnd yet to oncloso largo por
tions of the publio domain.
Tho President's' proclamation nnd
tho action of tho agents of tho De
partment liavn arrested tho further ap
propriation of tho publio lands by these
unlawful inclosurcs. Thoy have also
produced n moro tolerant spirit towards
actual settlers. Beforo this frequent
reports -of violenoo and intimidation by
thoso maintaining unlawful fences
against citizens desirous to enter homo
steads camo to tho Department. Some
of tho agents now report that thoso
having such fenocs havo erected gates
allowing ii.gress and egress to settlers
who havo gono upon lands wilhin their
iuclosures, and havo openly proclaimed
that thoy havo no dosiro to provont
settlcmc' t upon tho publio domain by
actual settlors, nnd tho right of way to
the publio lands is accorded to them
Whilst, however it is claimed that
many trespassers on notification havo
removed their fences, it is undeniably
truo that a larger number still main
tain them, and will rofuse, to obey tho
law except undor actual compulsion.
In order to obtain direct Information
on this subject I instructed tho two in
spectors appointed under tho act of tho
last Congress to give it their special
attention and to report to the Depart
ment direotlv. One was sent to tho
Territory of Wyoming and the other
to tho Territory of New Mexico. The
result of their investigations within the
limited tirao has furnished to tho De
partment enlarged and moro special
information upon tho subject. They
report a number of inclosures aud nc
area inclosed in those two Territories
far beyond what I had been led to ex
pect. flow tho illegal occupation and posses
sion of tho publio doma;n could have
grown to such enormous proportions
is boyond ray comprehension
In its social, moral and political as
pect, not less than in its economio re
sults, the existence and growth of such
lawless combinations resting upon un
lawful inclosures of tho publio domain
and protected by tho acqnirement of
titles, through devious or moro openly
fraudulent method, to tho controling
sources of water supply, constitute to
day a phenomenon of American life
and a problem of political import that
demand tho intelligent attention aud
aolion of tho Congress of the United
States. When it was first represented
that substantially the entire crazing
country west of tho1 100th meridian had
been fenced in by cattlemen, I could
not givo credence to the statement of
such lawlessness and rapacity. But
tho testimony of the residents of the
Territories, who havo no motive for
misrepresentation, corroborated by re
ports basod on personal inspection of
agents and surveyors now on rocord in
the departmi it, establish tho fact. In
deed, it is publicly announced, by the
trespassers thotnselves, who not only
acknowledged that they have unlaw
fully fenced in tho publio lands with
out any limit except their own pleasure
and power, but they justify their ac'ion
and complain against tho exeoutioa of
the law at an oppressive and unjust
harSship.
Condition of tho Army.
WHAT THE SECRETARY OF1 WAR II AS TO
SAY IN HIS REPORT.
Secretary of War Endioott's report
is out, and is very complete He savs
that during tho fiscal year $36,990,903
38 were paid out. Tbo Lieutenant
General of the army reports that at
the date of tho last consolidated re
turns there were 2,103 officers and 23,
940 enlisted men in tho army. In ro
ferring to the late General Uancock
Mr. Eudicott says : "Ho was a bravo
and accomplished soldier, who served
with distinction in two wars, and was
thanked by Congress for his gallant,
meritorious and conspicuous sharo in
tho great and decisive victory at Gettys
burg. Ho also had in full measure
tho respect and love of all his country
men,' There havo been no hostilities or
serious disturbances iu the Division of
tho Missouri during tho past year
But constant vigilanco has been re
quired of officers and meu. In the
Indian Territory tho settlement effect
ed through tho visit of the Lieutenant
General in July, 1885, with the Choy
ennes and Arapahoes has given com
parative peace to that region, nnd the
Indians are quiet and contented. A
consideiable portion ot the roport is
devoted in describing tho different
Indian encounters, the capture of Gcr
onoino nnd the doath of Captain Craw
ford, to whom ho pays a high tribute.
He says that no man should occupy a
position in the army to which he is not
fitted. Tbo discipline of tho army is
good and tho efficiency of tho various
arms of tho Bervlce are well maintain
ed. Tho reports from the commanding
officers of thu Artillery School and of
tho Infantry and Cavalry Sohool aro
very satisfactory and shows that a
high staudard of military education
has been established. Soldiers are de
veloped td matured rapidly on tho
battle-field, but in tihio of peace it is
only by study and application, by prac
tical experiment, by exercise in the use
of weapons, and by keeping fully
abreast of the world's knowledge, tht
tho soldier nan bo made ready for bis
work, when it comes. The entire cost
of army transportation during tho past
year was $3,030,579,10, The national
armory at Springfield, Mars., during
the last fiscal year manufactured 39,
527 rifles, carbines aud sliot-guus, in
additiou to the repair of arms, the
manufacture of swords, sabers, aud
other miscellaneous articles. Thoro
are now 2,3G1 miles of military Hues
operated by the Signal Sorvice. Tho
progress made iu tho system of cold
wave warnings has been highly satis
factory, and the Chief Signal OHioer
is convlnoed that property to tho value
of many millions of dollars has been
saved through its agenoy.
Treasurer Jordan's Export-
Tho United States Troasurer has sub
mitted to tho Soretary of tho Treasmy
his annual report, frcm which it ap
pear that the net receipts of the gov
ernment during tho year ended June
30, 1880, wero $330,439,727 and tho
net expenditures $212,483,138. Tho
excess of revenue over expenditures
was 93,050,589, Tho receipts wero
$l2,749.020.es gronto' and tho c-xpoo-.liturea
wero $17,743,790 01 loss tha..

net receipts for tho past fljoal year over
that of 1885 of $30,402,817.20,
WASHINGTON LETTEB
tFroin our Regular (fcrrpspondont.)
WAsnmoTos, D. 0 Dec. 0, 1880.
Concress mot today at noon in tho tten-
al way. Thero was a good representation
ot both bennlots and Members nnd
crowds of people flocked to the Capitol
to sco tho boainnlntr ot tho new seeslon
When tho Forty-Ninth Congress met
last jjeccmucr it tound tliu uapuol
draped in mourning for tho doath of
Vico President Hendricks. This year
it reassembles to find tho building
swathed in black for Ex-Prusldout
Arthur.
After the gavels fell to-day in tho
Senate nnd house, and roll calls follow
ed, and new Senators nnd Uepresen
tatlyes were thon sworn in. Work is
now in ordor, but tho week's pro
gramme cannot now bo outlined, for
convenience must decide to what busi
ness each branch of Congress will first
givo attention.
Among tho most interesting annual
reports ovoked by tho assembling of
tongrcss was thLt ot becretary Wlnt
noy because it deals largely with tho
reconstruction of tho Navy. Speak
ing of tho cxtravngauoo of previous
Administrations, tho Scorotary shows
that thero aro now twenty million dol
lars worth of stores and supplies on
hand, supposed to bo new, but much of
them ruined by decay nnd rust, or en
tirely obsolete. Thero aro 25,000
augers which havo been lying foryeats
in disused yards and limn) reds of thou
sands other implements similarly going
to destruction. An officer reports pass
ing through a yard wliero tho men
wero short of cut nails, nnd turning
aside ho found a wareroom filled from
floor to ceiling with barrels on barrels
of tho needed nails. It is estimated
that these nails wilt still last tho Navy
Department fifty years.
The absurdity of the effort among
Republican papers to create the belief
that there is some scandal involving
tho President in the purchase of real
estalo hero for speculative purposes is
really amusing. Neither partisan mal
ice nor personal animosity can fix upon
him any taint of complicity in real
estate ring transactions or scandalous
police spying iu Washington.
Even thoso who criticizo the Presi
dent's publio and political policy ac
knowledge that personally and pecu
niarily, ho is ono of tho most honest
men who ever occupied tho Whito
House. Ho might bo imposed upon iu
somo way by avaricious men, but
President Cleveland himself is totally
freo from greed. This sudden spasm
of outraged virtuo in the Republican
party, which stood by President Grant
when he locked up Boss Sheperd, Lan
daulct Williams and the members of
tho Whiskey Ring, becauso certaiu
real estato dealers sought to profit by
Mr. Cleveland's purchase of a home, is
highly interesting.
Tuo name of the President's little
country place is still undergoing chang
es. Originally it was "Pretty Pros
pect," then it was vulgarly called "Red
fop,'' after which tho owner named it
"Oak View.'' Now those who havo
made the most earnest effort to connect
tho President with the syndicate aim
to stigmatize it with the title of "Poison
Oak View."
It is becoming quite common to dis
tribute pictures of tho fine Washington
residencts of wealthy Congressmen as
an influence upon tho horny handed
voter, and publio men have found that
owning large houses hero is very de
trimental to their popularity at homo.
More than ono has been defeated by
the circulation of a photograph of his
Washington residenco among his con
stituents. It was only a few days since
that an Illinois Congressmen, seeing a
camera leveled at his mansion, rushed
out and tried to drive tho photographer
away.
When ex Senator Robeson ran for
Congress tho last timo in New Jersey,
his constituents were shown pictures 6f
the south front of the now State, War
and Navy Department, and were told
that that magnificent granite structure
was Mr. Ro' esou's new house in Wash
ington. This was entirely too aristo
cratic for tho rural voters of his dis
trict, and Mr. Robeson was defeated.
Ex-Senator Wiudom of Minnesota was
said to havo lost his seat in tho Senate
through the scattering of pictures of
his handsomo houso on Scott circle
and it is said ono reason Mr. Blaino
rented his elegant houso horo and lived
in a moro simple fashion was from tho
tear ot the political uso that micbt bo
mado of his living at the Capital in
princely style.
Tbe character of these city homes is
sometimes exaggerated, howfver, as
was that of Senator Vest. Recently
ho purchased a modest littlo house on
P Street, and picking up a western
paper a few days after ho was astonish
ed to seo the statement that ho bad
bought an elegant residence in the
iashionable locality of Mr. Blainos
palatial mansion.
A BAKING P0TOEE MATTEB.
MORE OF THE ALI1ANY NEWSPAPER IN
VESTIGATION. THE "JOURNAL" REAFFIRMS AND EMPHA
SIZES THE FACTS PLAIN TALK PROM
PROP. TUCKER HIS OPINION
ON AMMONIA AND 11READ
RISERS GENERALLY.
The Albany, N. Y,, Journal some
timo B'.nco published an interesting ro
port upon the subject of baking pow
ders, in which it gavo tho results of
somo tests of an elaborate character
mado for tho purpose of determining
tho question of which is the best and
wholesomest of these articles. The an
alyses and tests required wero under
taken by Professors V. G. Tucker, of
the Albany Medical College, and W,
P. Mason, of the Rensselaer Polyteoh
niu Institute, of Troy, chemists of tbo
highest standing and reputation, well
known for their extonded and valua
ble services as public analysts. Messrs.
Tucker aud Mason, tho Journal stated,
had been directed to procure from deal
ers in Ablany and Troy packages of
baking powder, to analyze nnd criti
cally examine them, and to make their
roports of facts found entirely without
bias or favor.
Tho report proved a matter of in
terest and importanco, and was widely
copied and commented upon. From
the facts prosented housekeepers had
no difficulty in dctoi milling for them
selves the best and most wholesome
baking powder to me. Tho Journal,
its faots lwiug been questioned by a
local baking powder manufacturer, re
turns to the subject aud publishes the
following interesting interview with
Prof. Tucker, The facts beforo ttatcd
are reaffirmed and emphasized in tbo
mpst breezy manner;
A Journal reporter recontly visited
Prof. Tucker for tho purpose of gain
ing further information m reforenco to
the baking powder question, Ho was
found in the oxtensivo laboratory of
tlio Medical College, hard at work, b'lt
good rmiuredly submitted to an inquis
itorial interview, the substance of
which, hero giun, will be found of in
tcrcst.
"Doctor," said tho reporter, "it an
pears that ono of our looal baking
powder manufacturers attempts to dis
credit tho report somo timo ago pub
lished in tho Journal with rcferenoe
to baking powders, for whloh the ana
lytical examinations were made by
yourself ond Prof. Mason. Wero your
analysis nnu opinion printed cor
rectly r
'Thoy were," replied Prof. Tucker,
literally."
"Is thero any part of tho roport, or
of your views expressed therein, that
yon would modify '''
"Not n word. My examination was
most carefully and accurately made;
tho deductions I drew from tho tests
wero tho inovitablo ones, and tho opin
ions I expressed wero unquestionably
oorrcct."
"You say, Doctor, that tho Royal
baking ponder is superior to auy other
baking powder whloh you havo exam
ined t"
'That is my report."
"Havo you oxammed many other
baking powders t"
"Quito a number."
"Wherein, Doctor, consists this su
periority which ou find in tho Royal
over other brands t"
"As stated in my roport, in the great
purity of its ingredients, in tho un
questioned propriety and wholesomo
less of those ingredients, in tho exaot
proportions of tho same, nnd tho chem
ical accuraoy and skill with which they
havo been combined. As I said bo
fore, it is, I believe, a baking powder
'unequal d for purity, strength and
whelcsoraeness."
"Doctor, the Journal's lady readers
would like you to inform them what
aro tho peculiar virtues of a good bak
ing powder over other and moro old
fashioned methods of raisiucr bread,
biscuit and cake t"
"That would require along answer,
something in the nature of a lecture.
Hi icily, however, tho advantage of
such a baking powder over yeast con
sists in the quicker work it accom
plishes, in tho preservation of some of
the best elements of tbo flour which
are destroyed in tho production of tho
carbonic acid gas by tho use of yeast,
and in the absoiuto cettainty ot sweet,
light and digestible food. Over other
methods for quick raising, the merits
of a pure baking powder aro great. It ie
always ready tor use, tbo acid and al
kali nro combined in exact proportions
to produce definite results, or to render
tbo largest amount of leavening gas
and leave nothing moro than a neutral
residuum, which is not the result where
cream of tartar and soda aro bought
separately and mixed in tlio kitchen,
for it will always occur where this is
dono that one or tho other of these
substances will predominate, making
the food yellow, heavy, bitter and un
wholesome, liesidee, the cream of
tartar which can be procured by the
housekeeper in mostly adulterated, add
ing to the uncertainty of tho results or
the unwholesomcneBS of tho food. All
theso difficulties are avoided in the
use of a pure, properly-made baking
powder."
"Will baking powders keepT llo w
long will they hold their strength V
'If properly made, until used. A
perfect biking powder must combine
superlative strength with power to ro-
taini it indebniteiy. liaking powders
generally are robbed of the necessary
preserving agent in order to give pres
ent strength, or else have their effio-
lenov largely destroyed by the addition
of largo quantities of flour to prevent
premature decomposition. The method
by which both these qualities are re
tained in the highest degree produces
the perfect article, and this X bolievo is
fully accomplished in the Royal bak
ing powder. I bavo seen an analysis of
a baking powder which snowed 21 per
cent, of Rocbelle salts. The baking
powder was not fresh, and because of
the improper manner in which it bad
been mtdo the ingredients had com
bined, forming tho purgative salt. I
give this as an illustration ot those
baking powders whoso keeping quali
ties are sacrificed to present strength.
How to get both strength and keeping
quality is the secret of baking powder
success '
"Doctor, what about ammonia in
baking powder 1"
"besqui-carbonate ot ammonia is
sometimes used in the higher class of
baking powders.
"Is it Injurious or objectionable T
"Nonsi nse 1 Quite the coutrary. It
has been used for generations in tho
finest food. It is a Very volatile agent.
Heat entirely evolves it into gas, leav
ing no residuum. Were it used in suf
ficient quantity to do the entire work
of aeration, I am inclined to believe it
would be the aono of leavening agents.
Somo of tho highest authorities, as
Wassail, recommend its exclusive uso
for this liiirnosp, in nreferenen to Vfant
or other kinds of leaven. It is uni
versally admitted to ho a wholesome
and valuublo agent, aud no chemist of
reputation will class it otherwise. I
have becoino indignant when I havo
read tho Billy charges that have fre
quently been made through ignorance
or otherwise against if'
"iuon those manufacturers who ad-
vertiso that their powder does not oon-
tain it"
"Confess that their powder lacka a
most ueoIuI, wholesome and excellent
ingredient."
"IJut they say its origin ishlthy!
"Its origin and method of prepara
tion aro no moro filthy than are tho
origin and preparation of bread. All
this talk about ammonia in baking
powder and its filthy origin is tbo veri
est rubbish. A man disgraces himself
when he lends himself to any such
statements. It is particularly unfair
for baking powder manufacturers to
seek to pervert the truth, or prejudice
tho icuorant or unwary by statements
that It is either harmful or dirty. Am
monia exists in tho very air wo breathe,
and is largely present iu naluro as a
wholesome substance."

Trade Dollars to ba Eodeomed.
Washington Special to the Baltimore Sun.
Holders of trade dollars have th'o
assurance of several prominent Con
gressmcn that an effort will be mado
this winter to pass a bill providing for
tho redemption of this much-abused
coin. Similar efforts have been
made in previous Congresses, but they
bavo failed because it was alleged that
the bulk of this coin is held by specu
lators. It is said that four or fivo
years ago a concerted movement
among New York speculators depreci
ated the value of tho trade dollar, aud
forced it down to a current valuo of
from 78 to 85 cents. This was owing
to two causes tlio discovery that the
government must rodoetn this class of
ooiii becauso it was obsolete and worth
less than its face value, and also be
cause cortain capitalists determined to
buy it up tor speculative purposes.
They wero purchased at an average of
85 cents and withdrawn from circula
tion. If they should bo redoemed now
tho speculators would only make about
fifteen per cent, on their investment,
which has stood for four years. Un
der the clroumstnncos the objection to
tho passage of suoh a bill on tho
around that it is In tho interest of the
speculators alone no longer holds good,
and thero seems to be no reason wny
Congress should further withhold
legislation on ths mbjeot,
