The Chicago Tribune, which came in
to our Western church on probation last
fall when Lieut.. Governor Bross was
surrounded by Indians in Colorado. has
demonstrstedit its faith was well founded,
and is now in full communion. We make
the following extract from a lengthy ar
ticle on the Indian question on March
9th:
The late winter campaign has been
the first sensible Indian fighting done
BY this nation, but until then the cons
uuered were continually changing pla-
ces with the eonquerors, and the red
savages of the plains and mountains had
actually come TO despise the Govern
ment of the United States. their only
respect being for the rifle OF the frontiers
man, which, however. the government
has nervously prohibited from being
used against them.

The kilograms, day or two since,
stated that the City Fathers of Boston
had dismissed the petitions against Gill

proposed programme is carried out The
following is the general plan:
1.-THE concert will open with Hail

band of 1000 performers. First verse
full band of 1000 and grand chorous of

the city. Third and last verse-full
band of 1000. grand chorous of 10000,
bells Ginning, drums rolling. infantry
firing, and cannon pealing in the dis
tance in exact time with the music
the bells rung and cannon fred by elec-
tricity from the music stand The ma
tional airs of England, France, Russia,
Prussia, Austria, and other nations, are
to be rendered with similar effects. The

sSHYSTERING.o -

The Democratic members of the In
diana Legislature have grappled the
Fifteenth Amendment, about as nanful-
ly as they did the question of maintain
ing the Union in '62. In that instance
they skedaddled to Canada, and in this
resigned and left the Capitol. There
are ninety Republicans and sixty DEM
ocrats on Joint Ballot, and forty-three
Democrats to fifty-seven Republicans in
the House, so that the resignation of
House Democrats would leave it with
out a quorum. This is democracy of the
modern type. They go upon the prin-
ciple that
He who fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day.
Likely it is also a tenet of the faith. that
the FIST duty of Democrat is to defeat
the will of the majority. One of the
scarecrows about this amendment, on
the Pacific coast, is that Chinese may
become citizens, and under it's provis-
ions vote. Yet it has been shown that
the treaty with China specially exempts
them from citizenship, and when a Re-
publican member of the House asked a
suspension of the rules day or two
since to introduce a resolution declaring
that fact, every Democrat in the House
voted against it. Somebody cried "Chi-
naman in the wood pile" it is to their
advantage to have it appear "there is
a Chinaman in the wood pile, SO they
keep their dupes at distance and cry
"Chinaman" the louder. There is such
thing as a manly fight, and there is
such thing as pusillanimous "shyster>
ing" There is no difficulty in classify
ing the democracy in this amendment
contest.

We have always believed hearing the
catechism regularly one of the inalien
able rights" of women, but do not like
to undergo the ordeal ourselves. We
anticipated trouble however in touching
upon this subject, and submit to mar
tyrdom as gracefully as may be.
We do think women have as much
right to vote as men. They have the
same right TO have the smallpox or
fever-and-ague, or TO wear top boots
and six-shooters The question is
whether it is good for them to have and
TO do these things, and whether they are
not better without them. The presence
OF women would doubtless have a good
effect at the polls and in Legislative
Assemblies, but is it sufficient compen-
sation for the evil it would be to them

have grievances to redress, but, if the

Collector of Customs of the port of New

Grinnell has been for some time an as

tion Grant was in New York, and invited
TO dine with Grinnell .and a sumptuous
entertainment ordered from Delmoni-
cos. On the same day Ex-Governor
Gardner, of New York City, ordered a
horribly plain dinner sent to his resi>
dence at the same hour. BY a most un-
happy blunder the dinners were ex-
changed Grinnell got Gardner's and

chagrin would carry him off, but provo-

their honored attributes when applied
to any of the Mosess. Grants bowels
of compassion were not enlarged by any
very superior vintage. and he has given
Grinnell better ''port" than Grinnell

BY the substitute for the Tenure of
Office Law the Senate does not let go
its grip to any very great extent,
although Mr.. Trumbull, who was an
earnest champion for repeal, aud is
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
undoubtedly relaxed the reins as much
as the temper of the Senate would per-
NIT. We cannot see a particle more
latitude given the President in case he
desires to change his Cabinet officers
during session of the Senate, than he
had before. he had authority TO remove
them by and with the advice and con>
sent Of the Senate, under the law: he
has no more privilege under the substi-
tute. During a recess he may suspend
officers without assigning the reason
therefor, such suspension becoming a
removal unless the Senate refuse TO
concur by an affirmative vote. If the
Senate refuse TO concur he resumes the
office, as under the old law. Ii merely
req quires affirmative action, when before
negative action was sufficient, relieves
him from making out charges against
suspended officers and gives him ten
more days to report suspensions after
the meeting OF the Senate. tt evidences

THE BITTER ROOT CONTRO-
VERSY.

We publish in another column a COM
munication opposing earnestly the pros
posed Indian reservation in Bitter Root
Valley. 1t is written by gentleman of
integrity and endorsed by a large num-
Der of farmers in the Valley. We give
it place, because we regard the estab~
lishment of a reservation in that valley
a very unwise and unjust project. If
any such reservation was determined
upon, it was during our absence last
summer, and we are ignorant of the
facts. We would like to elicit the cir
cumstances of this affair, it being a sub
ject in which large portion of our pop
ulation are interested, and legitimate
subject of investigation. 1t is matter
of homes, farms, dollars and cents in
which the Bitter Root people are inter-
ested-a practical business matter.
Therefore it is no: a subject to evade
nnder assumed names, and the farmers,
mill owners, or Others who are interest
ed, should come square out over their
own signatures and state the facts. 1t
will be more manly, and prevent a falls
ing off into vituperatlon, while if any,
thing is to be accomplished by it, it will
give their articles force and effect that
does not exist in anonymous communio
cations.

scarce baptism of blood, has entered
