ties; in Arizona, between the hymn-book policy
policy of General Crook, we find the wiry
Apaches now safely housed in their reserva-
tion and learning to ''read their title clear to
mansions in the Skies" and now deserting
the stated preaching of the Gospel to operate
upon some tempting emigrant train in the
passage Of the Colorado desert. In Califor-
mia, Oregon and Nevada, and in Idaho and
Montana. the early white settlers, having no
time to waste in Quaker experiments, have
practically followed the philanthropic idea OF
Kit Carson, that "the surest method of
reducing the noble savage to peace is to wipe
him OUT" but in Utah Brigham Young, who
is practical statesman, has contrived for
twenty-five years to get on amicably with the
surrounding Indian tribes with very little
hunting and killing But he has not trifed
with them, nor permitted them to tri1e with
him or his people. And SO his word is law to
them, for they have learned that it is their
interest to respect it.
But, with all these wild Indians over all
this vast region from the Great Plains to the
policy must be adopted of a comprehensive
and decisive character, or our unfortunate
red brethren will be exterminated. Our
Pacific railroads and the prodigious i'm
pulse they have given and are giving
to the settlement of all our new
States and Territories are operating to the
determination of the buffalo and all the other
wild animals in the prairies, mountains and
deserts from Nebraska to California The
Indian tribes, with this wholesale destruction
Of their game, are driven to the stealing of
cattle and horses, and to the warpath on the
emigrant trails from the pressure Of famine.
Our pious philanthropists however, overdo
their good work in simply feeding and cloth
ing the Indians and in singing hymns over
them and leaving them in idleness. They
must be taught to help themselves; they must
be taught to respect life and property; they
must be held to their reservations by the
strong hand until they learn something of in
dustry, law and order. General Sheridan
understands the Indian and how to treat him

General Grant deserves credit for trying the
humane policy of Quaker Commissioners, fes-
tivals of beef and religious tracts to his red
children; but as neither tracts nor hymn
books will keep Dancing Bear from slaughter
ing and scalping defenceless white men,
women and children, or from pouncing upon
unsuspecting emigrant trains, some other plan
must be adopted for his pacifcation. We
think, too, the plan suggested covers the
ground required, and, as there is every proba-
bility now that General Grant will have time
enough given him to carry out this policy, he
should ut once proceed to put it into practice.
The Bonapartes, tho Bourbon, Prcsi-
dent Thicrs and tho French Re-
public.
The monarchists imperialists and aristo-
Gratis of Europe make great outcry against
agitators and disorganizers when any but their
own chiefs are guilty of attempts to disturb
the public peace. When any leaders of the
oppressed masses agitate for the suffrage, re-
forms or some ameliorahon of their miserable
condition the monarchical and aristocratical
press finds no language too severe in de-
nouncing the ''wretches," the Jewellers and
'Arebrands." But when some anointed
scoundrel. some prince Of royal blood or i'm
perialist adventurer plots against the estab-
lished order of things or the liberties of the
people. he is treated with great consideration
Our telegraphic news from Europe shows that
there are several movements which lead to the
conclusion that the royalists and imperiaists
are becoming unusually active. The French
Republic is the bete noire of the monarchists
and imperialists and their efforts are directed,
either in concert or Independently to de-
stroy it.
The Count dc Chambord, that representa-
tive Of the old Bourbon dynasty and of the
divine right Of kings, has written a letter pro-
testing against the establishment Of the Re-
public in France. He has the temerity to say
that the Monarchy alone can save France, and
that in the face of history, which shows that
the Monarchy, under various forms, has been
the curse of France. If it were possible to
destroy such nation as that of the French it
would have been destroyed by monarchy; but,
happily. the people and country are too full Of
resources and recuperative power to sink be-
meath kingly misrule and oppression. At the
same time that this absurd protest of the
Count de Chambord is issued another mani
festo appears from the representative of impe-
rialism, Plon-Plon, the Bonaparte, the cousin
Of the ex-Emperor Louis Napoleon. The
President Of the French Republic, for some
cause not yet explained, but no doubt, for
sufficient cause, has ordered this Bonapartist
schemer and agitator to leave the territory Of
France. He also protests and appeals to the Pro-
cureur General Of France for redress against
the Minister Of the Interior. the Prefect of
Police and others who took part in his expul-
sion. In the absence Of information as to
the cause which induced the government to
expel Prince Napoleon 1t Is reasonable to pre-
