Indian Wars in Prospect.

Recent advices from various parts of
the frontier state that there are now
indications of serious indian disturb
ances. In Minnesota the old feud be-
tween the Sioux and Chippewas has
been revived, collisions have occurred
and the condition of the white settlers
on the frontier is considered dangerous.
la the Simcoc valley, at the junct-
ion Of the Columbia and Snake rivers,
Colone, Steptoe's command of four
hundred men, met with a severe reverse
from 1900 of the Polouse and Snake
tribes, on the 10th of May. About
the same date a brutal massacre of In
dian women and children took place
at Fort Thorne, IN Arizona, by a par
ty of Mexicans, for the purpose of pro-
voking a war, and in all probability a
terrible retaliation will be taken for
that act.
On the borders of Texas, California
and New Mexico, difficulties have &C.
cured which are ominous of a lengthcn-
ed war which may cost much blood
and treasure before it is terminated
In Oregon andW Washington Territories,
which have been the scene of various
alarming demonstrations by the indi-
ans during the past three or four years,
there are indications ola union among
the tribes, and a general descent upon
the white settlements. These occur
ences just at this juncture, while we
have yet the expense of the Utah army
upon our hands, and the National
Treasury is in a depleted. condition,
are peculiarly unfortunate. Indian
a have been proven by experience
to be the most expensive, and We trust
that the reports of disturbances which
we have mentioned will prove to be
unfounded.

praiseworthy. At the present time.
the phyacak Of the American popula-
ton b dsgenerating into effim'nacy
and disease, in consequence Of the DEL
uge Of drugged and poisoned alcoholic
drinks retailcd at the counters OF a
countless number Of groggeries, in ev-
cry nook and corner OF the Union.
The stomachs Of the people arc being
literally burned up with poisoned
drinks. These drinks are brandies,
wines, runs, gins, and a host Of I'M
nameable decoctions, the chief ingre-
dients Of which are strychnine, essen
tial oils, %vitriol, arsenic, prussic acid,
and rainwater, wholly manufactured in
this country, by men who deserve the
hangman's rope as murderers OF thou
sands annually. In France where
wine and brandy is pure, drunkenness
is comparatively unknown.
Ia this country pure alcoholic drinks
are comparatively unknown the pure
article being too costly for the poorer
classes. Take Davenport as an exam
pie. Here, every low bred fellow, who
is too lazy to work, and too dishonest
to beg, will rent a shanty, buy a Jug of
whisky at an expenditure Of fifty cents,
and retailing his death
dealing poisons to the poor laborers
who come within the circle Of his in
f~luence. Hundreds Of these breathing
hobs of hell are in full blast in this
city, impoverishing the poor, scattering
disease and death worse than any pes
thence. Around these dens may be
found pick-pockets, pimps, thieves,
burglars, and every species Of villains,
waiting and watching, and setting
traps for the victims of lntemperance.
1t was to put an end.to the innumer-
able evils thus created, that the City
Council has passed the City License
Law. 1t will have the effect of closing
the doors of hundreds of these dram
shops, and by protecting those who
pay a license, will induce liquor deal
crs to sell no other than pure liquo1sA
Beer, ale, porter, and beverages of thai
class can be sold without a license, and
are far more healthy, and nutricous
than stronger drinks.
Carter's ale and porter, and Drcis
and Frahm's Lager Beer, manufactured
in this city, will then become the drink
Of the poorer classes, and as they are
free from poisons, and less intoxicating
w hope speedily to sec a salutary re-
form growing out ofthis license system.
Experience has taught us that the
total prohibition of such drinks, is ut
tcrly impracticable, and in this view it
becomes a question with all right
minded citizens, whether the sale OF
drinks can be SO regulated as to ex-
clude drugged and poisonous liquors
and thus prevent much of the drunk
cnncss, crime and disease which now
disturbs society.
If this License Law is cordially sus-
tanned by all true hearted citizens, it
will work a glorious reformation in
this city, diminish crime and taxes, and
cut oft the Of p~ickpockets and
burglars. hope that those who were
so eager in support of the Maine Law,
and then SO lax in enforcing it, will
see that the license law is enforced.

The --Bennets Iruss.

Vhe DIXON NUS.
The difference in the republican
ranks between the Dillon-O 'Conner
and Bennett cake factions, is assu-
ming a most serious aspect and much
anxiety is felt by the leaders of the
faithful lest the result shall be an ire
parable dissension in the ranks Of the
"hosts of freedom" The influence Is
felt throughout the entire judicial DIS
trict, but at this place, the home OF
Judge Bennett, where be is best known,
the feelings of dissatisfaction and hos
tillity are most bitter. Judge Bennett.
was appointed to the Office which he
now holds some few months since, by
the Governor, on the occasion Of the
resignation of Judge Mitchell. 1t is
claimed by his friends that he is one Of
the most hardworking and faithful ju-
dicial officers in the State that he has
| conducted himself with uniform cour-
tesy while on the bench and that in the
whole of the discharge Of his duties he
has displayed the greatest honesty, i'm
partiality and ability. Under these
circumstances, there being no objec-
ton to his politics, they considered
that he was entitled as a matter of
right, to the nomination at the hands
Of the republican party. For a period
these claims we're admitted and it vas
conceded that he should be.the candi-
date of the republicans, for Judge Of
the Seventeenth Judicial District. Mat
tiers went on thus swingingly, the mat
ter being considered settled, until, a
few weeks since, John F. Dillon, a per-
o having no claims upon the party,
minated that he was DESTROYS of re-
ceiving the nomination. Attaching
Henry O'Conncr Of Muscatine, a per-
son DESTROYS of becoming District
Attorney, to his interest, the two
worthless put their heads together and
devised plan to put the garrote about
the neck of Judge Bennett. Accord
ingly Mr.. OConncr started on a pleas
ure tour throughout the District.
Leaving Hiram Price to manage Scott
county, he proceeded to Clinton coun-
tv, in after a conversation with the
editor Of the republican county organ,
he succeeded in SO imprcssing the
weight of their claims upon him, that
he came out at once for Dillon and
O'Conner. Satisfactory results grew
out of a similar visit to Jackson county
and Hiram Price in his absence having
pulled the wires to advantage in Scott
tOuiitN, tuC lGSult az IHC IohNCutiOu3
was the triumph Of the Dillon-O'Con-
ner ticket. Shinplaster influence and
a packed convention brought about
the nomination but an election is n
other consideration.
The friends of Judge Bennett CON
slider, and we think Justly, that he has
been most unfairly dealt with, and they
can entertain no particular affection for
those who wire pulled him out of a
nomination to which he was entitled.
The people cannot be labored with
personally, and are by no means so
submissive as a packed convention,
and, if we mistake not. the two sharp
political operators who have succeed
ed in getting the nomination will find
more difficulty than they imagine in
= wooling,' even their own party, into
an endorsement Of their trickery.
