NEW A77RA CTIONS OF DOMINICA.
AMONG the other arguments in favor of the
annexation of Dominica which are not usually
set forth in formal speeches and official docu-
ments her abundance of human monstrosities,
as described by a newspaper correspondent
who is now with the commission, is worthy
of consideration. Nothing pays American
showmen better than dwarfs, giants, do1ble-
headed girls, Siamese twins, skeleton men,
fat women, etc., and they may we'll rejoice
at the prospect of securing hereafter even
greater novelties. The Roman matron i'm
mortalized herself when she said ''these are
my jewels" of her children; and Dominica
has an overwhelming answer to all anti
annexationists in the assurance of the Tribune
correspondent that she abounds in 'big-
headed children, children with q dozen
er two fingers, and some without
any, children with joints as big as their heads,
and with legs bigger than their bodies, children
overgrown and undergrown," and, most mar
vellous of all, 'spotted children; that is,
white children turning black, or black chill
dren turning white" Here's richness for
you What better card could an incipient
Barnum ask for than a white child turning
black, or black child turning white-parti-
cularly if this interesting feat could be hur-
ried up SO as to be visibly performed in the
presence of an audience? And then, think of
children with joints as big as their heads
and legs bigger than their bodies What
spectacle could be more gratifying
to refined and curious audience !?
There is even more glorious
vista than that opened in connection with the
show business arising from the prospect of
the annexation of Dominica. Ben Wade, in
his speech to the Dominicans, assured them
that if the destinies of the two countries were
linked together, there was no man before him
who might not aspire to be Chief Magistrate
of the whole. Certainly not. Thus the
bright hope is held out that Dominica will
furnish crop of Presidential candidates., as
well as of human monstrosities, and it re-
quires no extraordinary stretch of the imagi-
nation to suppose that these two great deside-
rata may even be combined in one
and the same person. We may have,
as an applicant for electoral
suffrages, not merely a Dominican, but one of
the Dominicans who is black and white by
turns, and who would treat the country to
alternate succession of African and Cauca-
sian rule. When an election in one of the
rural districts of South Carolina was pending,
such a serviceable partisan leader might veil
his countenance in sable gloom; while, on
the other hand, when it became necessary to
pacify the adherents of white mans party,
he might satisfy the most fastidious by as
suming an Albino hue.

by the Commissioner in negleci1g
TO advertise for proposals,
and in rejecting the counse's of the Board of
Indian Commissioners, contrary to law, has
been to enrich contractors at the expense of
the nation. 1t is evident that Colonel Parker
is not the right man in the right place. No
matter what may be his sympsthies for the
aborigines, he is unable to resist the pressure
of the old Indian ring, especially when its
demands are strengthened by influential poll
ticians; and if the President wishes to make
a complete reform he should transfer his
favorite Commissioner of Indian Affairs to
some other department at the earliest possible
moment. 1t will require the sternest sort of
white virtue to resist the pressure and antago-
nize the arts of the adroit white politicians
who have, from time immemorial, made the
Indian Bureau convenient pretext for draw
ing funds from the Treasury for their own
enrichment; and it is as vain to expect civil
lied and educated Indian to perform this
arduous task at Washington as it is to hope
that the wild aborigines will be able to resist
the wiles Of the rowing traders and trappers
who have disseminated among the tribes the
curses of disease and intemperance. The
plain English of The report of the committee
of the House of Representatives is, that
Colonel Parker ought to be removed; and if
the President wishes his well-meant efforts to
effect complete reform in the management
of Indian affairs to be successful, he will not
hesitate to dismiss him, and to send forth a
Diogenes armed with stick and lantern, on
the difficult quest of discovering thoroughly
honest and incorruptible man to serve as his
successor.
AS preosution against future frauds,
whether Colonel Parker is retained in Office
or not, Congress should provide tkat here
after no payments of money shall be made on
the warrants of the Indian Bureau until the
vouchers are certified by the Executive Com
mittee of the Board of Indian Commissioners,
composed of Mr.. George H. Stuart, of this
city, and other members of like standing.
This additional check is necessary to enforce
the existing laws and to protect the Indians
and the Treasury.

OBITUARY..
Thomas III. Burrowes.

ThOmas III, BurrOWes
The President of the Agricultural College of
Pennsylvania, Thomas H. Burrowes, LII D.. died
on Saturday afternoon last at o'clock, at his
residence at the college, near Bellefonte, Centre
county. He was in his sixty-seventh year at the
time of his death. Under the administration of
Governor Joseph Ritner, which lasted from 1885
to 1887, Mr.. Burrowes was Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the year
1860 he was appointed the Superintendent of the
Common Schools of the State, and he held this
position with great honor and credit to himself
and the schools under his charge until the year
1868. He was editor of the School Journal for a
number of years, and only withdrew from its
management at the end of last year, for the
reason that his duties as President of the State
Agricultural College prevented him from Civ
ing the necessary attention to the publication.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-02-27

not from the wording of Judge Sharswood's
letter, but from the fact Of his writing such
letter at all under the circumstances, that
he approves of Mr.. Fields conducs in toto,
aud that he also endorses Messrs. Mann and
Cassidy fer the part they took in the Ficken
bus ness. Judge Shsrswoods learning and
the high position he occupies as Justice of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania cannot
shield him from criticism, and his defenders
should remember that mere word quibbling
will avail little in the court of public opinion.
The inference we drew from Judge Shars-
woods letter YVES fair one under the circum-
stances, but if we have at all misrepresented
his opinions as to the duties and response
bilities of counsel, we will be much pleased
to receive from him an explanation of his
real views on the subject.
