Ql'EER EXPENSE ITEMS.
Some curioui items enter into the ex
pense account of Uncle Sam. Away oat
in Arizona, near the city o! Florence, there
it a ruin of (he dwelling place ct tome
prehistoric people. It is called Casa Grande.
The government pays a man ?450 a year to
watch Caw Grande and tee that tome
Chicago archaeologist doesn't carry it away
for exhibition purposes.
Secreta'y Gresham baa tried to get along
this year with $3,000 for bringing home
the remains of diplomatic and consular
officers of this country who died abroad.
In view of the probable increase of mortal
ity among tbe unusually large number of
these patriots who have responded to the
call of Josiah Quincy and have gone to
p'acea where the climate Is bad, Mr
Gresham asks tlO.OOO the coming year for
diplomatic mortality.
Another item of dose relationship to the
last mentioned Is 85,000 to bring borne the
widows of those diplomats who die abroad.
Tbe vaccination of Indians is a charge of i
$1,000 a year on the United sta'es treasury.
The condition of Lo the poor Indian is
the inspiration of much sympathy among
certain Caucasian philanthropists. The
regular budget for the red man this year
reaches JG.031,156.61. Xeit year it
expected, to go to $7,008,011.44. This
covers a multitude of things which civilized
people have never thought of. For instance
every one ot the COO mtn Cro s gets a J 10
suit of "good woolen clothing, consisting
of a coat, hat, pantaloons, flannel shirt and
woolen socks," Every one of the 700
women Crows gets "a flannel skirt, a pair
of woolen hose, twelve yards of calico and
twelve yards of cotton domestic."
The end of this Indhn budget is not in
Bight. Tbe Indian is as good a stayer as
the pensioner. Away back in 1794 the
government stipulated to pay the Six Na
tions of New York sta'e a certain sum
several thousand dollars every year, and
it is still doing it. There are annuities
which baye been paid to the Senecis relig
iously sir.ce I8I7. The Sbawnees have
been getting a good round sum yearly since
1794, Tnese and many like tbem an per
manent annuities. Some of tbem have run
100 years. Most of tbem have been in
operation fifty years. They seem to be
just as good for another century.
There are tbe Pottawatomie of Indiana
and Michigan. Tiiey have worked ibe
white man beautifully. In 1795 they got
one permanent annuity, which has been
paid regularly ever since. In 180D they
socked it to our crandfathers for another
annuity. In 1818 the Pot'awatomies came
again and this government agreed to pay
them another so much a year without any
limitation of time. The fourth permanent
annuity for this thrifty tribe was fastened
upon the treasury in 128. Betwc;n that
time and ls;16 four more permanent annui
ties were added to the Pottawatomie' list .
And they have been piid f.iithful'y every
year. They will be paid next year and
the next after, and nobody knows when
the obligation will.ceasc. Three of these
annuities arc payable in "silver," and ail
ver it was for the Indian all through the
war and afterward, when white folks never
saw the color of coin. Another annuity is
in "specie;" two more are in "money.
ine oilier two annuities illustrate more
lorcibly the farcical, l.very year since
18'26 tbe government has solemnly deliver
ed to tho Pottawatomie fifty barrels of
silt. And every year since "iC this gov
ernuient has maintained a blacksmith's
shop with cmiipmcnts nnd supplies for
three blacksmiths at a cost of 81,008.99
year for the Pottawatomie:.
The disbursements to those Potlawato-
mies who long ago censed to be Indians in
all but name, nuiount lo $-0,017 G.". They
must uccording to treaties go on forever.
Thoy are "permanent.
The Creeks have the oMet of these an
nuities. It started in M'.'O The Chlika.
saws began to draw a permanent nnnuity
in 17!K). The Chocktaws were put on the
roll for $.1,000 a year 11s early s 1-C5. 1
it any wonder that the more civl'ued he
gets tho T.ore t -iincious tho Indian grows
ot his lulu' relation anil ot I nele rim t

A VEKV SHAM AJSWER.
Some time ago Mr I Nlehel of Prlnvllle,
asked the Ort-goolan the following que
tlon.
Prlnevi le, Or.. Feb. 28. To tba Editor.!
-.Will you pleas lot ma know through
lhe oUunsns nf tbe Morning ureKonun
h..amnih nftha interestbearina debt of
the United States Cleveland and Harrison
paid out during their respeeiive summit
traiions? 1 bicbel.
Thia waa a question asked In good faith-
The Oregonian mads tbe following con
Cured, inexplicable reply:
Julrl. 1883. the last year Mr Cleve
land wa lo office before, the pu II debt
was g:,063,su4ltw. juij v, ims, m e tasr,
year Mr Harrison was la f.fll:e, it was
I4I.S2,4d3. On March 1 of this ye r i:
was 11.007. 558.015. Ueaven only kno wa
what ill b Ju'r 1. 186". At
tb'a in II tMifgan If r exnfced 1 500,
OOOoooi-tV1- ""5' th fiurs t"
veaitVi0.1 " ne additional interest cl area
for this increase will be aoout Hi 1 00 'COO
per vear. Hut this la not one tenth part
what the accession of tbe demoeiatie
party baa coat the country in fall of
price reduction of waxes, loss of work
and profits.
It will be tien that the Oregonian en
tlrely evaded the question. Mr Sichei
asked how much ot Ibe Interest bearing
debt of tbe United States Mr Cleveland
paid from March 4, 16S5, to March 4, 1859
and ho-v much of tbe interest bearing
deot Mr Harrison paid from March 4,
!o9, to March 4. 1893. The Oregonian
throws a cloud over the whole matter by
showing that there was a reduction of tbe
debt during Harrison's administration
bat says nothing; at all about the reduction
mtdeluring Clevelands administration from
March 4, 1SS5, to March 4. 1SS9. To hav
answered the question, the Oregonian would
have informed Mr Sichcl that 'he total In.
terest bearing debt, in round numbers, o
March 4. 1SS5, when Cleveland entered up-j"
hit first term, was (1,278 003,000.
That on March 4 ISS9, it was $922. 729 732
Deducting this latter sum from the former
we find $355.270. 2fjS as the amount of the
interest bearing? debt paid off during Mr
Clevelands first term.
The total . amount of the interests bearinfi
public debt, at the beginning of Mr Harri
sons term, was 8922,729.732, and at the
close it was 8649,657,172. During the latter
from the former, we have $273,072,560 as
the amount of reduction in the interest beat"
ing debt during Mr Harrisons term. It should
be borne in mine, that, when Mr Cleveland
entered upon the duties of bis first term,there
was but a small surplus of funds applicable
to the payment of ihe public debt, but when
Mr Harrison came In Mr Cleveland who
had reduced the interest bearing public debt
355.27,26S, turned over to Harrison a
tieasury having $100,000,000 surlpus funds
applicable to the redaction of the debt.
Taking this at a baste. Mr Ilanison succeed
ed In reducing the interest bearing debt 8273
072,560, but turned over a bankrupt treasury
at the end of his tei m. We feel snre that
Mr Sichcl will, when he reads this article.
get ttie Information which hs sought In
vain from the columns of the Oregonian. It
will be seen from the above that Mr Cleve.
land redaced th e Interest bearing debt du
ring Lis term 882,197,780 more than Harri
son did duiing his term and furnished the
latter $loo,ooo,03o surp'us money as a basis
ol operation.
