The Indian War.

Gen. Sherman has just submitted to the !
War Department detailed report OF the
Indian troubles on the plains. Alter ad-
verting to the Peace Commission of last
wear. when formal written treaties were
entered into with the various tribes, he
gives his theory as to why the terms OF
the contracts were not kept inviolate by
certain of the red men, the Cheyennes'
the Arrapahoes, the Kiowas, and the Co
manches. He says that last year tne
Government abandoned the Powder River
Road at the earnest1Esolicitatlon OF the
| C;orx who renresented that the road ran
through the only hunting ground they
had and drove away the game. The other
Indians attributed this action OF the Gov
ernment to fear of the prowess of the red
men. and concluded that they could COM
mel the abandonment of the Smoky Hlll
ROM, by threats, or, that failing, by re-
course to actual violence. Threats pro
ved Of no avail, and for couple of months
past they have been massacrelns 'ne
whites right and left. But the 'oVerh
ment does not propose to give up lh'
Smoky Hill Route. On the contrary
Gen. Sherman has dispatched consider

teution from honest industry, both mental

ing life or good behavior, each applicant

AS a remedy for the second evil, we at
present know of nothing more ethclent
than good registry-law. Not even good
laws are at all times efficient where men
are set on fraud. Yet to the well meaning

of offence Every possible facility should
be afforded the honest voter for the exer-
else of his highest privilege, and every
nossible precaution taken to prevent the
dishonest one from accomplishing his at

now stands. it is not possible for earnest
and honest men to secure fair extension
of the popular will in any Populous DIS
trict where design is formed to thwart
that will, A fair registry law, properly
: enforced, would give every person having
the right, an opportunity to vote; 1t would
t show who are legal voters and would thus
prove ALI efficient agency in securing honest

One of the most efficient remedies fol
the last Of these three evils has been suS

Purity OF the Ballot.

The ballot is to the citizen the chief and
ultimate means within the pale OF the law
of defending his political and natural
rights, and of giving expression to his Will
If aggrieved, the courts are open to HIM;
he may also petition the Legislature fail
ing in these his last legal resort Is the
ballot not succeeding in that, his choice
lies between submission and rebellion
There is, there can be, no middle ground
It is no mere legal fiction that the voice OF
the people gives policy to the country and
shape to our legislation, but living, po-
tent fact The ballot is the means which
the people themselves have prescribed Tor
giving expression to their will and 1t Is,
too. the only legal means. 1t IS the de-
sign of the law that the will Of the, people,
SO expressed, should be given without cor
rupt influence, and should be the express
sion, not of their passions, not of their
hates, but of their patriotic feeling and
their best Judgment. Whatever, then,
even only tends to pervert such patriotic
and dispassionate judgment OF the people
