The New York herald., 1872-09-08

The arrest in Washington of the alleged
murderer of Mr.. Nathan is the most startling
news of the day. More than two years have
passed since the victim of one Of the foulest
crimes on record was found weltering in his
blood at his residence in one of the most
frequented streets of this city. A dark
mystery has ever since overhung that
terrible tragedy. Our bafled guardians
of the peace had apparently given up oil hope
of finding the author or authors of the murder.
Nor does it seem, after all, that the arrest Of
Billy Forester, the man with numerous
aliases, has brought them nearer to the end;
for there is a strong ground for the belief that
the police have, on the merest shadow of sus-
picion, rashly fastened the murder upon Billy
Forester. An unwillingness to acknowledge
themselves beaten might have had something
to do with this. Billy Forrester's record is
certainly bad enough to convict him Of almost
any crime merely on appearances-"c comme
capable du faH" as they would do it in q
French criminal court The fact that he has
been hiding ever since the night of the mur-
der is SO far the strongest evidence
against him. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that he is fugitive from justice for vari-
Gus crimes, burglary among the number
crimes numerous and heinous enough
to consign him to the tender mercies
of State prison for life. Without
being necessarily guilty of the murder of Mr..
Nathan he had, therefore, the best of reasons
to keep out of the way. Hunted down like o
wild beast he has lived life of constant dread,
wandering about the country to evade capture,
which has been accomplished at last Whether
it will be possible to convict him remains, how
ever, yet to be seen.

lied negro mixes with the savage red blood
their progeny loses any good quality the
parents may possess and drops into semi.
savagery as irreclaimable as ever Neverthe-
less, this does not endear them to the full
bloods, who look upon them as upstarts and
carpetbaggers and treat them accordingly.
There are two cures used at present for the
Indian disorder-the old one of the bullet
and the new one of bread and blankets. In
all humanity we would prefer the latter if it
accomplished anything; but its failure is self
acknowledged by its continual call for an
application of the leaden remedy upon its
refractory patients. Now the facts we have
noted cannot be gainsaid, and these unmis-
takably point to a rigorous determination of
all Indians who will not submit to civilization.
We are not dealing with the simple Indians
whom Heinrich Hudson was friendly with at
Hoboken, but-we may even blush for our
selves in saying it-cruel, vindictive, cunning
and treacherous savages. With these there
can be no argument save that which General
Sheridan knows how to DEAL While
freside philanthropists are talking home
steads are being burned, peaceful set
tiers scalped and their wives and daugh-
ters ravished beside the mutilated corpses.
Where the Indians agree to settle there must
be no alternative left them of working for
living or going on the warpath, as they list.
The power which puts them there must be
kept strong enough to force them to stop or
take the unfailing consequence of rebellion
namely, destruction. A poorly mounted,
scanty force at the few outposts cannot accom-
plish this. 1t must be strong force an army,
if you will. The Indian nomade murderer
must be made to feel that he has an enemy
which will bring him to its terms or kill him.
The Indian, once located, must be forced to
regard the idea of war in the future as hope
lessly as any ''Dead Rabbit might contem-
plate his chances Of success in an open plum
der Of the wealth Of New York. The problem
is to be settled by the strong hand or not at
all. 1t will be cheaper and more humane in
the end. A genuine civilization may then be
allowed to dot the Indian countries with set
Elements, instead of the spurious article
they have hitherto seen, mixture of
border rufians and isolated missionaries If
these influences cannot tame him he will take
his doom upon himself; but we believe that
the firm grasp, never relaxed, first taken, and
the influx of earnest, industrious settlers after
wards admitted, make up the only salvation for
the Indians who are at all amenable to civiliza-
tion With all the others it is q question for

Waste OF Infant Life.

An interesting and curious exhibit of infant
mortality statistics has recently been made by
a distinguished Washington physician. The
author, DR.. J. M. Tower, deduces from the
earlier census returns the fact that nearly
forty per cent of the total deaths of all ages is
found among infants under five years of age.
The mortality in the great cities of the coun-
try has risen to much higher rate, the high
est being in Chicago, where it increased from
a percentage of .28 in 1843 to 80 in 1869. In
st. Louis, in 1871, the percentage of deaths
under FIVE years was over 81, the number Of
deaths under five being 3.409 to 6670 above.
In Philadelphia the percentage varies from
1853 to 1870 between the figures 81 and "A.
In the year 1911 the infant mortality in New
York was over ~ per cent and in 1869 only
81. From 1885 to 1853 it ranged from 81 to
81; in 1866 it was only AT; and the in
ference is that the death rate is diminishing
instead of advancing Cincinnati has per-
centage near that of Philadelphia New Or
leans less than either of the two, and Provi-
dence, r. l., enjoys the minimum rate Of
only So
These figures are, however, startling, and
justify the excellent plan of the gentleman
who collects them to establish, in the rural or
montane districts, free parks, where hundreds
of lives might be saved from the annual
ravages of cholera infantum and the more
than decimating power of the heated term.
Scattered all along the Atlantic seaboard,
within easy reach by steamboat or rail, are the
beautiful and verdant spurs and valleys of the
Glue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, which
offer just such retreats as are needed. No
expense is spared to preserve the shattered
| constitutions Of adult invalids and to secure
them every comfort Of art and, certainly, in
merely economic point of view, the interests
of humanity and civilization demand equal
provision for the infant classes Of society.
Every effort should be made to reduce the
waste of life to which they are subject as, in
the lowest view of the case, loss which nc
society can afford TO sustain.

Steamboat Disasters.
We are glad to notice that the government
has promptly ordered investigations to be held
into the causes of the late terrible steamboat
disasters. The loss of life and property has
been SO great within the last few weeks as to
convince the community of the necessity
either of adopting new and more stringent
regulations or enforcing those at present in
existence. The proceedings Of the inspectors
charged with eliciting all the facts which led
to the deplorable loss of life viii be watched
with anxiety by the public and press, and any
failure to carry out the instructions in the
fullest sense will not fail to receive general
censure No feeling of commiseration for the
men who may have neglected. to take every
precaution demanded by the safety of the
vessels and their precious human freight must
be allowed to cover up the responsibility of the
guilty parties Recklessness in steamboating
has reached that point where the safety of the
travelling public demands that it shall be
sharply and effectively checked. If men are
Indifferent to their own safety it is no justif-
property that are confded to them with
tacit understanding that they are men whose
character justifes the important trust reposed
in them. On the ground of public interest,
therefore, we demand that the investigations
at present ordered shall be made as stringent
and searching as the law will permit, and that
the guilty parties will, in all cases, suffer the
severest penalties of the law. We have to deal
with dangerous evil that must be outrooted,
and the only way to do this successfully is to
make the responsible steamboat officers feel
that in case of neglect of duty they will be
punished with severity. This is the only way
to assure public safety, and that must be the
chief aim of all investigation. If we are
simply to be informed how the &C.
cident occurred, without fixing the
responsibility on the proper parties,
there can be no need of governmental
interference as the newspapers can be trusted
to give the fullest and most satisfactory his
tory of all accidents Something more, how
ever is needed, and we look to the govern
ment action for the establishment of strong
check to discourage the reckless indifference
which SO markedly characterizes the conduct
of steamboat officers at present Had exam
pies been made on previous occasions we
would not have to deplore the awful loss of
life of the past few weeks. But as the acci-
dent to the Bristol, which was the warning
prelude to the Metis disaster, was treated with
levity because by the merest chance no lives
were lost, so if the present disasters are al
lowed to pass without the punishment of the
guilty parties we may look forward to the con-
inuance of the present reckless system, which
renders travelling serious danger to life.

has 80 long led it and watched over its interests
is called to a higher sphere of action. Noticing
an attack upon the Tablet by the Chicago Ad-
vance. it replies by asking why that paper. if
free from bigotry, styles its opponents
'Romish," instead of Catholic, or Roman2 ?"
1t concludes that the Protestant is bound to be
liberal to Catholics but Catholics cannot be
liberal towards those who reject the Church,
and must hold them to be enemies of God.
The Standard (Chicago) speaks disparagingly
OF clerical conservatism, which in the Angli-
can Church sustains the Athanasian creed,
with its curses of all who do not subscribe to
its phrasing of the dogmas of Christianity. It
censures the practice of infant baptism as un-
scriptural and ridiculous, baptism being
sign Of belief and regeneration impossible in
an infant.
The Union Advocate discusses and rejects the
proposed prayer test. It denies the right or au-
thority of Christians thus to put religion upon
trial; and, adducing the existence and sway of
Christianity as proof of divine power, chal-
lenges infdelity to disprove or explain it away.
The Christian hteligencer sees in the recent
address of the distinguished psychologist, DR..
Carpenter, before the British Association, evi-
dence of returning reason among scientists in
regard to the relations of science and theology,
and willingness to accept theology as dealing
with mans moral nature and not incompatible
with the investigation of truth in other fields.
The Baptist Weekly compliments the HERALD
by copying its abstract of the sermon of Rev.
Hugh Stowell Brown at Sea Cliff camp meet
ing, but omits the usual credit. Hardly
square, that, with the golden rule by which
the Weekly processes to be governed.
The Liberal Christian contrasts faith and
works, following the apostolic opinion that
without the latter the former is poor stock.
What is Christianity? is answered by long
article in the Christian Union, whose essence is
'faith, hope, charity; but the greatest of
these is charity" Our girls are considered at
some length, and the opinion expressed that,
like our boys, they should be taught some USE
full and remunerative occupation.
The Methodist is very hopeful about the pros
poets of its Church in foreign lands, especially
in Italy and Mexico. 1t has ON article on
Stanley and Livingstone, considering the ex-
plorer's diary brought back by the HERALD
commissioner and accepted by the Livingstone
family as the crucial test. 'No doubt comes
from the family of the great traveller, and
none need therefore be entertained by the
public"
