Brosius, general agent of the Indian rights association, who has been investigating the condition of things in the Indien Territory, indi. cates that a scandal has been unearthed in comparison with which most of the other recently reported scandals in gov- ernment departments are paltry, Not only the interior department, but the Dawes commission, an independent body appointed by the president, is in. ivolved, The Indian, being poor, has not been able to get into the United States court, as he must to maintain his rights, and so from year to year a gigan- tic wrong has been going on under the eyes of the officials of the Indian bureau. $1.50 PER YEAR | Watch that after you re- | We send no receipts unless by special | You are expected to | | There were collected last year in the | United States $53,000,000 revenues in ex- | cess of the great expenditures of the | Federal Government, and one of the | tarift apologists and defenders in New | York claims that the greater part of this | sum was derived from duties on the im. portation of luxuries.
