OUR INDIAN UARDS.

| From debate on Indian affairs, in the
House Of Representatives, the other day, we
learn some interesting facts which deserve
comment and republication. The noise of In
dian conflicts in Arizona, Northern California,
and on the Texan border divert attention from
matters which relate more vitality to the well
fare of the whole country than any mere tenn
porary outbreak of n fast-fading race. The
question brought up in the debate referred to
was that Of treaties with Indian tribes. The
Hon. A. A. Sargent, who seems to be most
familiar with the subject, and to have had it
| altogether in charge, was practically put on
the witness stand and obliged to tell what he
knows of the past and present policy
of the Government in this particular. IL
has long been the practice Of the Government
to coerce or entreat Indian tribes into peace
full settlement, granting them for this purpose
large tracts of land or reservations. These
gifts, which have also been augmented by
annuities in money, or promises of annual
supplies of some sort, have been solemnly
conveyed to the perpetual use of the tribes in
treaties. The treaties, ard all matters thereto
appertainiDg, have been perfected and con-
firmed by the Senate, just as have those
five years of our national existence, over fouI
hundred of these treaties have been made /;
they were discussed and concluded in secret
sessions of the Senate, and their provisions
have not been open for review, even by the
coordinate branch of Congress, until too late
for amendment. This fact alone ought to
condemn the treaty system; it is impossi-
BILE that abuses should not creep in and
that numerous imperfections should not occur
in treaties which are thus effected. They were
usually the work of one Committee and few
officials of the Interior Department; and only
handful of Senators ever were present at
their ratification. The anomaly of such pro-
ceeding as the negotiation and conclusion Of
solemn treaties with people dwelling In our
own Understanding them as IL they were
foreign powers-has been already and suff-
GENTLY exposed. Ii was soecism to treat
with tribe of North American aborigines-
wards OF the nationals though they were in
dependent foreign governments.
Under the system, however, we have man
aged to eItinguish the Indian title to an
immense region and have granted large
amount of other lands in lieu thereof.
How extravaganza and thoughtless this treaty
making has been is now apparent when
the needs of civilization crowd around the
sacred Indian reservations. The Sioux, for
instance, who number $4,000 or 10000 persons
have q reservation of more than 2500O,00O
acres in extent Other Indian tribes, mere
remnants of what they once were, are
confirmed in the occupancy ~ vast

inventions, and what may be their value, are
elements in discussion for which We have
not space. But az TO the other matter, it
needs no demonstration to prove that sewing
machines are outrageously dear. With ma
chinery not more intricate of manufacture
than Yankee clock, they sell for more than
a good gold watch. Exclusive of the table or
case, they are said to cost the manufacturers
about 81 apiece. The entire machine sells for
nearly six times its first cost. Similar ma
chimes, made here, are sold in Europe for
about one-half of the prices in this country.
If the application Of the gentleman who suf-
fers from the want Of more than $4,000 has
anything to do with these high prices, much
as we should "pity the sorrows of poor old
"man,r we should counsel him to endurance.
There are, we believe, some three or four
hundred thousand machines made annually by
the companies interested in having this patent
extended. To at least half the purchasers, o
few dollars moro less in the cost or
monthly hire of machine is very serious
matter To great extent any extra cost
comes ont of pockets to which surplus Is
unknown. 1t is extracted from the wages OF
poverty. An application for such re-
newal should be met by the Congress
Committee with jealous solicitude for the
welfare of tho many as compared
with tho few. 1t has never been clear
to us that there is need for Congress to inter-
fere iu such matters. The business of investi-
eating the propriety Of renewals of patents
peculiarly belongs TO the office of the Patent
Commissioner. There is quite enough of 1t
there to do to give all needed proficiency.
Not less than forty or fifty applications Tor
extension are made every week. Not more
than about an eighth are successful. But
there, md there only, can there be q full ana
fair appreciation of the claims of an inVen-
ton and of opposing interests No great pat
ent is ever extended without more or less
affecting and involving q multitude of Others.
The most industrious committee could scarcely
read the mere literature of an important case,
much less become familiar with its details
and principles The judgments OF our
legislators in these cases must be hasty. They
might, if Senators were not immaculate, be
liable to other influences. 1t is OF course pos
sible that q crowd of officers of sewing-machine
companies, each representing some millions OF
dollars of interest, might besiego the committee
doors in vain. But, in view OF the possibility
of future envelope turning up, some time or
other with figures and names upon it. we do
not coyet the risk. 1t is not fair to expose the
elect Of the people to such dangers.

NO NORE SEA-SICKNESS.

Voyagcrs who have bent over the ships
side in desperate agony of naval nausea
will be pleased, il they contemplate further
temptation of the waves, to learn that Mr.
Bessemer, in London, has invented tho model
of ship saloon in which it will be impossible
TO be sick. Mr.. b. has constructed a working
model of this most desirable cabin upon his
private grounds, and the other day exhibited
the same to party of scientific gentlemen.
1t is to be placed in the center of tho vessel
in the space usually occupied by the engines,
these being situated fore and aft and driving
two pairs of paddlewheels. The saloon being
suspended will be governed by a set of power
full hydraulic apparatus beneath NJ, and 40
arranged that as the vessel rolls to either
side, the pressure or resistance afforded by
tho vvator will at onco be brought into Iise to
check the motion. a pair of equilibrium
valves, worked by double lever, like the
"handle of Il bicycle, at which stands steers
oman, who, with curved spirit level before
I" him, watches the slightest indication of roll
ing in the vessel, Immediately suppresses the
tendency of the saloon to follow the motion
of the ship We might suppose that passen-
gers ensconced in such lovely and cOmforta-
BILE place would not care at all to go upon the
deck but should they do SO, the promenade
deck will be accessible by means of a broad
staircase free from all motion. AS for
the ship generally, 1t is TO be 30 con-
structcd as to secure the least possible
amount of pitching. 1t will be $50 feet long,
As feet deck beam, 65 fleet over the paddle
boxes, and, loaded, will draw only feet and
inches Of water. The ship will be double
ended to obviate the necessity of turning. AT
both extremities there is to be very low
freeboard, so that the ship may cut through
the waves instead of rising upon them. This
freeboard will take up about 80 feet mt either
end thus reducing the total length Of the yes
sci on which the wind can exert its force to
2JO feet. As for the suspended saloon, it will
be well lighted aud comfortable, aud will be
fitted at each cad with four principal rooms
for ladies and four for gentlemen.
Mr. Yellowpush, in the agony of his first
nautical experience, discovered what basins
were made for. Here, however il n ship in
which these most convenient utensils will be
entirely superiluous. When the stormy winds
do blow, the passengers can take refuge in
this heaven of suspended saloon, and be
saved by potent and ingenious hydraulics from
the slightest qualm. When old ocean smiles.
they can go upon deck and enjoy the lovely
prospect. As ships are now built, the pleasure
of the vOyagers il apt to be limited, for il
they are not sick, they are melanchOliously
conyalescent. But the new swinging saloon
will change all that.

TILE GREAr OPERATIoN IN ERIE.

Pr. JAY Gould ia man who thrives on his
misfortunes. When he was turned out OF the
Presidency of the Erie Railway Company by
the maneuver of Gen. SiclSles, it is understood
that he profted more extensively perhaps than
any other person by his own humiliation.
Knowing how buoyant the stock would be-
come as soon as the discredit of his name was
removed from the direction, be stuffed his
pockets full of shares before he went ont, and
then awaited his fate with the calm confidence
of the Christian who holds tuh suit OF
trumps. We can imagine the sensations with
which he must have listened to the
public rejoicing at his downfall. How
he must have smiled ut the fehclta-
tons over the triumph of honesty and
reform, the moralizings of the press upon the
overthrow of the last of the Erie Ring, the
predictions of an era of honorable manage
ment While the new officers were laboriously
searching the books, investigating, retrench-
ing, putting disorder to rights stopping up
leaks, trying to save every penny for the long
suffering stockholders, Erie shares rose about
| 81 per cent in the course OF Six weeks, ana
| Mr.. Goulds fortune grew bigger and bigger
every day. He had made n very pretty thing
out of Erie while he held it, and he finally
made more by getting expelled from the
Board than he could possibly have made oy
holding on.
His next stroke of good luck was the suit
for the recovery of $9OOO,000 Oh which he was
arrested in the midst of the cornering operation
in Chicago and North Western, in the latter
part of November. TO an ordinary tinancler
an action of this sort would have been a
| serious menace. The new President of Erie
was clearly very much in earnest, and it was
rnmored that the evidence against the de-
PENDANT was of the strongest character. But
Mr.. Could saw that if he had made
money by one defeat he might make
money by another The day when he
was seized by q deputy sheriff might
be the most fortunate day of his life,
and he coud readily secure few millions by
the now familiar process of being ruined. Mr.
Gould filled his pockets again with stock, and
yielded to all President Watson's demands
Boxes of valuable securities were forthwith
transferred from Mr. Gould to Mr.. Watson
The shares took fresh bound upward; and
to day MI jay Gould is in the full tide oil
prosperity, with every prospect of long
career of successful stock-jobbing before him.
Besides realizing great d9al OF money merely
by the operation of suITendering property
which he could not keep, he has secured a
large interest in the road, and, according to
some accounts, voice in its management. He
has completed the scheme upon which he has
worked so long, of consolidating an uninter-
rupted railway route from New-York to San
Francisco. He and his partners control already
the connecting lines from Lake Erie to the
Pacific, and nothing was needed to finish the
chain but to lay third rail over the Erie
Road, and this can be done with Mr.. Gould's
surrendered securities. In word, Mr. Gould
has made a brilliant stroke

tracts which are not large enough for hunt
fairgrounds and are too large to induce
settled habits and the pursuit of agriculture.
But we have changed all that by the act OF
May I, 1871. Congress took out OF tho hands
of the Senate tho exclusive control Oh TINS
important branch OF the Indian service, anu
that body can no longer conclude conventions
with Indian tribes and draw immense sums
from the Treasury under pretense OF treaty
obligations.
Somebody asked Mr.. Sargent, in the course
of the debate, What was the policy OF the
Government in relation TO these treaties mere
afterF Would they be abrogatedf His reply
indicated that he did not profess to fore
shadow any future policy; of course abrogation
of the treaties without the consent OF the In
dams who are party to them is not to be
Thought of. Bnt it is intended to cOnfine the
Indians to their reservations; make those re-
serves only largo enough for the actual needs
of an agricultural people, and, by all means,
TO civilize their occupants. There is no ques-
ton that peaceful relations with the Indians
are most desirable. The Indian Commission OF
1869, on which were Gen. Sherman, Gen. Har-
ney, Gen. Terry, and other fighting men, SAID
that the war with the Cheyennes, Arapahoes,
and Sioux in 1885, cost s3O,OOO,OOO, and that each
Indian killed cost 81 100000. They do not say how
much of this sum went into the pockets of
thieying contractors; but thieving contrac-
tors are part of a campaign. We cannot have
peace, however, until some of the more unruly
tribes have been soundly thrashed. Even this
thrashing is to be avoided whenever it il
possible; farms will not spread nor factories
rise behind Gordon of troops on the frontier
1t is cheaper to hire the Indians to be peace
able than it is to fight them and involve whole
Territory in confusion and incertitude. The
weak point in the Governments Indian pol
icy has been its capricious and varl-
able treatment of the wards. Of the
Nation. Nobody expects that the wild Apacbes
of Arizona will be met with the same spirit
as the more peacefully inclined Pawnees and
Pottawatomies. But we must protest against
that policy which is iron one day and silk the
next-shot and shovels, bullets and blankets.
Possibly, in the experimental treatment OF
this whole question there has been some un-
intentional and unavoidable confusion; there
! has certainly been darkening of counsel and
conflict of jurisdiction which we hope will
cease. From Crook to Colyer is too great a
variation. We want peace; but we want IL
consistent, uniform, permanent.

P4TPNT EYTENSIONs.

1t is stated that further effort will be
made to obtain from Congress, at this session,
another extension of the Wilson patent for a
" feed motion 10 sewing machines. The ap-
plication was brought forward last Spring and
elected much unfavOrable comment from the
press. This patent was first granted in 1850
was reissued two or three times, and was ex-
tended by the Commissioner of Patents In 1884
to 1871 thus enjoying period of 81 years, in
which time the inventor says he realized dur
ing the first fourteen years no profits what
ever; but during the last years it has netted
him about $4,000. To most citizens this would
appear to be q tolerable compensation; but
Mr.. Wilson declares that he is old and needs
more for himself and family, to secure them
from the inconvenience of limited means -
and that the value of his invention to the
public exceeds $100,000,OO0.
Of course there are several sewing machine
manufacturers interested in the prolongatiOn
of this patent perhaps we should say its
revival, as it has already expired. There are
quite as many, perhaps more, of the manu-
facturers opposed to the extension. So Ear as
il is q quarrel between manufacturers, we
should not care to notice it. There is, however,
an aspect of the case with which the public has
something to do. Ii ia alleged that this patent
is made a pretext for REFRESHING practicable
Improvement in sewing-machines, and for
keeping up their price. To what extent this
expired patent interfercs with more recent
