Anslrcr-The "threc years" which followed
the reduction in 1916 OF orr War duties to 4
much lower standard based on the restoration
of peace, were years of unprecedented pccl-
mary distress, general bankruptcy, and per-
sonal suffering for want Of employment. There
was dissatisfaction" enough, but nd Strikes

ilea-bite compared with our late .iour-ycmS
struggle, the failures which followed orr re-
turn to peace in 1915 were far mote general
and sweeping than any We have known since
1850. Even ID. a. Wells publicly declares that
orr recovery from the depressing effects OF
our great War for the Union is "nsarvclous!'
If we did not krow what virtue there is in Pro-
lection, we should think so too.

The compromise on the Indian Appropriation
bi1 which secures its early passage yields the
point heretofore claimed by the Senate that had
the reserved right of making treaties WITH the
Indian tribes as independent nations. Existing
treaties are not affected by this agreement but
bcuccforth the Indian is to lose the dignity
which this custom gave him. The action merely
marks the Red Mans decline in power and I'M
portancc, and will little affect his welfare
But it is another argument in favor of the cs-
adjustment of an Indian territory in which
the roaming tribes may be gathered, and sur
rounded by the ciyilizing influences of good
cOYcrnmCnt.

The legislative investigation into the opera
tons of the Children'S Aid Society has re-
suited in complete vindication of tho con-
duct of Mr.. Charles L. Brace and his osso-
ciates in this noble charity. No other result
could have been anticipated by any one VINO
was acquainted with these gentlemen, but inc
judgment of the Committee is mono the less
nattering coming from men who'll qneS.
ton of politics can be regarded in matter OF
pure phianthropy-aro opposed to tho we'll
known views of Mr.. Brace. We hope no 1uf-
tlor obstacles will be thrown in the way OF
This truly Christian and catholic work.

The Washington Patriot has picked two pas
sagcs out of Tue TRIBUNE concerning the
Secession of States from the Union, which
prove its Editor inconsistent, exactly as tho
iniidel proved from the Bible that "Thcrc is
"nO Cod" AS he has chosen to meddle in
this controversy, we will thank the Editor
of The Patriot to state explicitly how
far and wherein his Oo1a views diff
fer from those embodied in our letter to
Frank Blair, and whether he meant, in OPP
posing Secession, to contravene the principle
that governments ri2htfully exist "by tho
"cCnsent of the governed" as set forth in
tic Declaration of Independence. We have
made this request, in effect, of several, but
have never yet elected a response Let us

The spondence just published between
the Emperors of Germany and of Russia fully
confirms the indications given by this journal
of An absolute understanding between the two
mowers. The Kaiser acknowledges his indebt-
cdpess to Russia, and the Car politely signi-
fes his sense of the obligations under which
he has placed his powerful neighbor The
future of Europe, and especially the settle
ment of the Eastern question, depends hence
forth solely upon the wishes Of the Cabinet
of Petersburg, and the continued acquiescence
Of the Court of Berlin.

Much comment is properly provoked by tho
appearance of the Hon. NJ. Ii. Carpenter,
senator of the United States, as a counselor
for the New-Yorl Central in the argument be-
fore the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on
the question of paying income tax on tho
great scrip dividend. Such employment seems
clearly incompatible with the Law of the land
and the "higher law as well. A Member OF
Congress should never appear as the paid at
toluey Of any claimant OF htigant against the
Governments.

The Senate will doubtless need no urging TO
promptly pass the pending bill authorizing the
building of the Cincinnati and Southern Rail
way across kentucky. The House passed 1t
almost unanimously, recognizing that it was
opposed only by local interests and de-
handed by the whole Northwest. The
City of Louisville and the rival railroad
from that point to Nashville have op-
posed the building of this road; and though
every county in Kentucky and Tennessee
through which the new line is projected de
sires to see it built, and votes aid for its con-
struction, the State Legislature has refused
TO charter it. The Senate should not follow
tic bad example. There Is no land grant IN
tie bill. The road is a purely commercial
enterprise. Its need was pointed ont during
the war. when the Government seriously pro-
posed TO build military road across the
country through which this line is to ran. Every
Summer the immense traffic of the Louisville
and Nashville Road blocks that tborOughfare for
weeks at a time, and It's incapacity for carry
ing the Southern trade when the Ohio River
is low is annually demonstrated Cincinnati
needs this Southern outlet, ana ought TO
have it,
