ornamental and cheerful to look upon In their
fresh green coloring. An Improvement not to
be despised is the new sidewalk around the City
Hall Park. We hope that peanut squatter
sovereignty will be ignored in that locality
under the new regulations, and that no more
Tshanty warehouses will be erected there to
the offence of the passers-by and the obstruc-
ton of populous highway.
While these improvements are going on
satisfactorily there is another work Of para
mount Importance to the metropolis that we
SHOULD like to see progressing with equal
activity. we mean the piers and wharves.
The Dock Board, we have no doubt, are not
idle nor unmindfu of their duties. The labor
before them is certainly gigantic one; but
that is all the more reason why it should be
undertaken as soon as possible. The new
commissioners have earned the appreciation Of
the public for their labors so far, the Commits
sioners Of Parks especially, for the valuable
improvements they have already made towards
identifying every spot which comes under
their Jurisdiction.

DOUBTFUL POLIoY.-On the 18th ult a
party of Kiowa Indians appeared at their
agency with white woman and five children
who had been captured by the savages during
raid on Texas. For their captives the
Kiowas demanded and received ransom of
one hundred dollars each. Our Indian policy
is certainly susceptible of amendment. Appa-
rently settlers have no rights that redskins are
bound to respect, and certainly life and secu-
rity of property are not among the immunities
accorded the unfortunate white man by
the gentle savage. This ransomng of cap
tives is but premium to Indians to continue
their depredatons upon settlers, and will never
bring peace to the Western borders A differ
ent policy might well be tried with such tribes
as the Kiowas, who, doubtless, would more
rapidly appreciate the power of the United
States if treated somewhat after the whole
some lessons taught by Sheridan to- the Colo
RADIO and Dacotah Indians.
