Tlip NIWr Oiiprtlliiu.
AY.miis:ton, Jan. 10. Chairman
island, of the coinugu committee, is in
clined to believe Hint his committee
stands seven for six against the suspen
sion of silver coinuge, but this fuel not
ouly causes him no siecial concern, but
is made the occasion by him of a state
ment to-day which puts the probable out
come of the silver question in an entirely
new light. Bland said : "J place Key
muui, Scott, Hemphill, Norwood, James,
ISloekwood and Little furHiisiensiou. Ad
mitting that a majority of the committee
will favor suspension, should such u bill
lie presented there would lie a minority
rejiort recommending free coinage. When
the question comes to a vote, the first
ii-oHHition will 1m- that ottered by the
minority of the committee, as an amend
ment to the bill as reported by the ma
jority. That amendment will foe in the
form of a proviso, striking out all after
tlie enacting clause, and inserting free
coinage provisions. i.H course I cannot
sav what that vote will be, hut believe it
will be a handsome majority for free coin
age. You may rememler that in the last
congress a majority of the committee was
in favor of a protoaition to make the
amount ot trade dollars reeomed a part
i part
silver
V'' the regular monthly coinage of si
required oy law. me minority oi me
committee, however, instructed me to
move an amendment striking out the sec
tion favorable to the views of the major
ity, and providing that all reeoinagc of
trade dollars should be in addition to the
minimum tixed for regular monthly coin
age of silver, and the motion prevailed
by a large majority of tlie house. There
fore I am free la say thut tlie complexion
of the committee is immaterial tome."
Dolpli'n I'oHfr
Wamhinoton, Jan. lb By a strange
custom heretofoie, the continuation or
rejection of appointments was referred to
committees. Thus the aptiointmeiits of
linger, Tinnin, beck, und Taylor were
referred to the committee on commerce ;
of Lawton, Ellis, and Brooks, to finance
committee ; and judicial appointments to
judiciary. California has no representa
tion on any of these committees, and
heme, bv courtesy, tbev refer to those
enators on these committees from slates
nearest to California, namely, Jones of
Nevada, and 1'olpli of Oregon, .lones is
absent, and hence the confirmation or
rejection devolves lqion the I'Coiiimetid
ntionof I tail ph. , lie will be the center of
a great deal of interest.

took no part in this action, and it is not
clear what will be done. There are

INDIAN' TRAINING SCHOOL.
An Attempt being: Made to Secure In
creased Appropriations Salem's
People Interested.
Y'esterday morning Superintendent
John Lee, of the United States training
school, at Cheraawa, showed a reporter
of the Statksmas letters which he had
ritten to Hon. Daniel AV. Vdorhees and
Hon. Hen. Harrison, senators in con
gress, from Indiana, and Hon. John II.
Mitchell, senator from Oregon, regarding
the deficient appropriations for the
school here. The letters set forth tho
fact that only $35,000 is appropriated for
tlie annual maintenance of the school,
which is 1(175 per capita for an average
annual attendance of 200 pupils.
ine school at Carlisle, l'enn., receives
$85,000 per annum, which supports an
average attendance of over 400 pupils.
Mr. jjee contends, ana the Statesman
bears him out in the statement, that the
school at Chemawa is so situated as to be
the proper place for affording educational
facilities to an average attendance of
from 400 to 500 pupils, and congress
should make an appropriation sufficient
to maintain that many pupils there.
There are now in attendance 205 pu
pils, that being five in excess of the aver
age provided for, but the attendance last
ear not being quite up to the average.
the surplus of the appropriation for 1885,
will cover the surplus attendance this
year.
Mr. Lee is receiving applications every
day from all the tribes of the northwest
tor students to enter, but is unable to re
ceive them on account of the lack of ap
propriation. The new buildings which will be cern
pleted during the current month will be
of sufficient capacity to accommodate
an average attendance of 500 without
crowding.
there is no doubt that the only correct
solution of the Indian problem, lies in ed
ucation. A good work has been begun
here, and congress should, in justice to
the Indians who have been crowded from
their lands, give them every facility to
become citizens ; and until they are edu
cated sufficiently there is no use trying to
make good citizens of them.
The attention of Oregon's representa
tives in congress is respectfully called to
the matter, and it is to be hoped that
they will find the matter of sufficient im
portance to enlist their hearty supjxirt.
the people of balem are also interested
in this matter and thev should take some
steps toward trying to impress the mat
ter favorably on tlie congressmen from
Oregon.
A STIFF PR'TFRE.
A local photographer has succeeded in
getting a picture of the president and his
cabinet. This is the first picture of tlie
new democratic administration taken in
one group. Ordinarily a picture of the
president and his cabinet is made up
from separate photographs. Presidents
ind their cabinets have been photograph
ed in the past, but such photographs are
not common. Mr. lsraiiy savs tiiat he
has photographed two presidents with
their cabinets Polk and James Buchan
an. Tlie arrangement of the Cleveland
group in this last picture is very stiff.
1 lie president is seated in tlie center with
Mr. Bayard tqion his right and Mr. Man
ning upon his left. Mr. Lamar is seated
at the left of Mr. Manning. The other
four members of the cabinet stand back
of the four gentlemen who are seated.
Mr. Vilas stands at the president's right;
next to him is Mr. AVhitney, then Endi
cott and then Garland, fhe president
and Mr. Manning have their heads turn
ed in the same direction. They resemble
each other in this picture through the
similarity of their figures and general ex-pi-ession.
They look near enough alike
to Vie brothers. Air. Bayard is staring
away into space with an absent look up
on his lace. Mr. Lamar has his usual
kindly, thoughtful luik. His right hand
rests 'upon tlie arm of Mr. Manning's
chair. Mr. Garland is the most lone
some and dejected-looking of mortals in
this picture. Mr. Endicott is the most
satisfied looking of the group. Mr. AVhit
ney has tlie easy look of a .man of the
world who is going through a wearisome
duty, while Mr. lias, at tlie end, is
focused in the picture in such a way that
he looks as if he were bending to one side
to avoid ilMow. An effective picture
could haveVen made with better group
ing, as the president and his seven as
sociates are distinguished-looking and
fine-appearing men. AVashington Letter.
TWO STRINGS TO HIS BOAV.
A very dilapidated-looking tramp en
tered the counting room of one of tlie
wealthiest merchants 011 Austin avenue,
and coming up to the desk asked :
"Ain't your folks from Posey county,
Indiiiny?"
-Yes."
"And vour name is John Smith?"
"Yes."
"Shake! You have at last found your
long lost brother, Bill. 1 am in need of
money."
"Here is a quarter. Take it and go."
The long-lost brother turned over the
quarter a time or so and then said :
"Is a quarter all you can spare for your
long-lost brother?"
"That's all. Go now, or I'll call a po
liceman," said the merchant.
"I'll accept the quarter on account of
our relationship. That is a family matter;
but, besides being your brother, 1 am a
tramp and a deadbeat. Now, I apply to
you professionally: Give me another
quarter," Texas Sittings.
