THE PROGRESS OF THE INDIAN.
To the people of the West the devel
opment of the Indian is an interesting
study. The last few years have seen a
wonderful transition in many instances
from the untutored savage to the intel
ligent, ambitious echolar and graduate
of our government schools. The Chron
icle publishes fnlay a letter written by
an Indian h-y ul tin- Carlisle Indian
school iu reiiiiylrniiia. Accompany
ing the letter id stn explanatory note
from one of the teachers at the Siletz
reservation, which reads as follows:
Siletz, Dec. 10, 1895.
Editor Cheoncle :
The encloeed is a specimen of what
the Indian can be intellectually. The
letter is from a Siletz boy (Jose Adams)
now at the Carlisle training school in
Pennsylvania, to his cousin, a Siletz
girl at this agency, and as he intended
it for nothing more than a letter of
friendsh'iD, I know that such a destina
tion was farthest from his thoughts
when he wrote it; but I am so interest
ed in the welfare of the people with
whom I have been living duiing the
ereater part of the past two years that I
think the production too remarkable to
remain for her observation only. She
baa kindly consented to let me send it
to you lor publication.
The letter itself is a remarkable one,
and shows how the Indian mind is tak
ing hold of ideas that a few years ago
were beyond its reach. The interest
which the writer takes in football simply
goes to prove that he is like the other
young men of his generation. The let
ter is neatly written, correctly spelled
and as a single bit of evidence of the In
dian's progress, is a satisfactory one,
The Chronicle is glad to publish it.
Carlisle, Pa. .
Dear Cousin: If I remember right,
I received your letter not long after 1
bad written you. I was real glad to
hear from you, as I am always glad to
hear how you are and others there.
I am at present kindiy pressed a little
in my studies on account of reviewing
what we've gone over during the term
and preparing for the fall term examina
tion. Then it is I often remember the
old home away out to the land of the
setting bud, where, perhaps, if I had
lieen, I would not have to rack my
brains over books. These thoughts
come only when I feel depressed and
cornered, which I do not think danger
ous, for after reflecting a little, it would
give additional vigor and determination,
to peruse the subjects more definitely.
I am glad to say that I am well, al
though I bad a little attack of cold and
some pain in the side, which caused my
absence for at least a week.
Our band has re-organized, and is
making fast progress. Our foot-ball
team is now disbanded. The last game
was with the New York City Y. M. C
A. team on Manhattan field in New
York, Our boys defeated the team by
a score of 16 to 4. We were very suc
cessful in that line. The papers praise
our team, and the team of red men will
in a few years be the champion of the
inter-collegiate foot-ball contest of
America, which we now hope and cher
ish. The boys first played the Pennsyl
vania college at Gettysburg, defeating
them in a fair contest, "and then played
the athletic club of Pittsburg and de
feated them by a large score ; then ac
cepted the scheduled contest from" the
Uuiverstty of Pennsylvania, and were
defeated on Franklin field in Philadel
phia by a large score; but an exception.
The team of the U. P. is one of- the
strongest teams in American colleges of
today, so that we did not expect to win,
but only to give them a hard battle for
the victory. So it was, the Philadelphia
papers declared, the strongest team the
old William Penn sons ever faced. Our
next game was at New Haven, Conn.,
with the Yale University, the grandest,
largest and oldest college in America.
Our boys were again beaten ; but this
time by a small, score. Then a game
with a local Y. M. C. A. team at York,
Pa., where our boys gloriously defeated
the York by the overwheminglv score of
42 to0. Then came Bocknelf Univer
sity, in which -we were again thrashed,
but not bad. So that this year's season
of foot-ball contest for us ended with a
good move towards gaining foothold on
the American soil as an. equal with all
nationality of the civilized world, which
we have long been deprived of.
People begin to know Indians as be
ings not only capable of attaining the
attire of civilization, but also competent
in all respects of farther bettering the
intellectual functions, which are so es
sential in this age of the world. Iam
an enthusiast in the line of promoting
the idea of your abilities. I am fully
aware of the fact that thousands of peo
ple think Indians as a whole are only a
set of animals with no reasoning power.
We, the better class of that inestimable
race aro dving to see the day dawn
when we will be recognized as a part of
people who have a voice in the law
making and welfare of the community.
Excuse me, dear cousin, we can only
hope that we will fool and. frustrate the
idea by showing ourselves as we are
now doing.
Miss M. Barr, the head nurse,
eerida;. her love to you. She is in every
.way mv adviBer and helper; one to
whom I can safely say I look to as a
mother. She takes more interest in
my welfare than I can describe. When
I left here to get work on the farm she
cried herself to almost despair in the
fear, of my probable difficulties. Hut 1
assured her of my knowledge of farm
ing, so-1 had consent to go. From this
you can see how good and faithful she
is. Of course I mind to be good. So
please send some word of recognition of
her when you write.
My regards to all. Good bye.
P. S. Probably this will be a funny
letter to vou ; but I wrote only what I
felt. Tell" al! that I am well. I will
soon have mv holiday vacation, then I
will tell you of smaller details of news.
For the present I will close, with much
love. From your loving cousin,
Joseph.

TWO VIEWS OF THE BAYARD
INCIDENT.
Walla Walla Union : It docs not be
come Mr. Bayard to talk at home or
abroad about "class legislation," "breed
ing iniquity," "corrupt public life,' and
like expressions, when it has been
charged for many years that the politics
of Mr. Bayard's little state of Delaware,
which has kept the Bayard family in
office since the formation of the present
government, has been notoriously cor
rupt. None know the power of corrupt
ing influences, and how to be benefitted
by them, better than does the aristo
cratic Minister Bayard. lie should be
recalled, and his place filled by a repre
sentative of American patriotism.
Evening Telegram: It was natural
that Mr. Bayard's association of state
socialism with protection of the trusts
should have stirred up the ire of the
high-tariff people, but the only fault
that non-partisanism can find with it
consists in its lack of originality. It
was merely an oral reproduction of the
sentiment expressed by the people of
the United States when they elected a
complete anti-protection government
three years ago. Since then the parti
san complexion of the hous9 majority
has been changed, but the mutation in
dicates a popular rebuke to the demo
cratic party for non-fulfillment of its
tariff pledges rather than a popular de
sire that McKinleyism shall be restored.
And that the republican party appreci
ates that fact ia shown by the ginuerly
way in which its leaders treat the pro
posed revision of the tariff.
The popularity cf Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and the high esteem in
which it is held s leads us to believe it to
be an article of great worth and merit.
We have the pleasure of giving the ex
perience of three prominent citizens of
Eedondo Beacn, Cal., in the use of the
remedy. Mr. A. V. Trudel! says: "I
have always received prompt relief when
I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy."
Mr. James Orchard says: "I am satis
fied that Chamberlain's Corgh remedy
cured my cold.-' Mr. J. M. Hatcher
says : "For three years I have used
Chamberlain's Couijh Remedy in my
family and its results have always been
satisfactory." For sale by Blakeley &

For the many accidents that occur
about the farm or household, such as
burns scalds, bruises cuts, ragged
wounds, bites of animals, mosquitos or
insects, galls or chaffed spots, frost bites,
aches and pains on any part of the body,
or the ailments resulting from exposure,
as neuralgia, rheumatism etc. Dr. J. H.
