Governor Walker Of Virginia, does not
seem hopeful of Government aid to COM
plete the James River and Kanawha canal.
OF its importance to the State and to the
country he entertains no doubt. But he
believes private capital may be secured for
the enterprise. and therefore does not Sec
ond the movement of West Virginia to
surrender the improvement to the Govern
ment on condition Of its completion.

INDIAN COMMISSIONERS REPORT

INDIAN COMMISSIONERS REPORT
The following is synopis OF the fourth an
nual report of the board OF Indian commits
sioners. After three years of the working
of the peace policy, the board find cause for
congratu lations, that their anticipations of
success in their attempts to civilize the noma-
die tribes Of Indians have been so far fulfilled
that there is now a reasonable assurance that
the object in view is being rapidly attained.
The operations of the new system have called
into life confidence in the justice and HUI
manity Of the whites heretofore unknown and
the Indians are therefore more disposed to
help themselves. Nearly fye-sixths of the
Indians of the United States are now either
civilized or partly civilized. Yet this fact APP
pears to be but little known. The various
fraudulent means by which agencies were
formerly made fruitful sources from which
large fortunes were speedily drawn are now
nearly abandoned, and instead Of payi for
thirty per cent. more than is received the
government receives full value for money
appropriated, and the Indian gets all he is
fairly entitled to by law.
The various religious denominations have
expended large sums of money in their en-
deavors to Christianize the Indians. Their
success has been marked. The board dur
ing the three years of its existence have tray
elled in the performance of their duties more
than $4,000 miles. The Sioux and other
tribes on the Northern Pacific railroad are
generally well disposed toward its construc-
ton; the slight opposition heretofore encoun-
tered being the result of rather precipitate
actien, probably necessary on the part Of the
railroad officials. The Indian Territory, with
a smaller area than any of the Territories,
has population exceeding any with the ex
ception of New Mexico and Utah. 1t has
more acres of land under cultivation than any
other in the United States. This effectually
disposes of the statement that there is an I'M
reasonable amount ofland lying idle there as
compared with other portions Of the United
States. The board deems it matter Of con-
graduation that the public opinion Of the
country is SO rapidly crystalizing into pur-
poses of justice and humanity.

gems whose views Of public affairs led them
and myself to support, in the late canvass,
the man to whom you have shown such high
respect. BY these acts you have removed

There is quite furry among those
deeply interested in life insurance. over
the action of the Mutual Insurance Com
pany of New York in reducing its rates.
The old policy holders maintain that the
reduction is unjust to those who are al
ready insured In the company at the ad-
vanced rates, and who may fail to realize
the benefits they have paid for, if the new
departure should prove Il failure. There
is prospect that the matter may go be-

those who for interested reasons may seek
10 undermine or weaken f. lie Fresi-
dent and the country together constitute q
power against which politicians In Con.
eress and out,cf Congress will be careful
how they array themselves.
We do not mean to say that Congress
ought slayishly to accept the Presidents
Judgment in this matter and entirely yield
its own right of opinion and action. Far
from II. Ali that the country asks is that
Congress shall come to the consideration
of the subject in good faith. If it honest
" thinks this or that method objectiona-
bic, let it frankly say so. Ii tits believed
that some modification of the proposed
plan will better accomplish the proposed
object, let 1t speak out. The tull success
of the scheme requires the cooperation
of Congress, and it is but fair and just
that the representatives Of the people
should participate in the settlement OF the
matter. The country only desires that
they shall approach the discussion with II
recognition of the need of some reform
and with an honest purpose to contribute
to its attainment. In that case their judy
ment will be respected, and their voice
will have influence.
If the subject is approached in this spir-
it by all parties, We have confidence that
a satisfactory and wise conclusion can be
reached. We are not welded to any par
ticular plan. We believe that COMPARE
son of views and practical trial and exper-
iment may be necessary to work out the
true system. The object is to give more
stability and higher character to the civil
service and lift it out OF the fierce scram-
BILE which it now generates. The compel
alive examination may play its part. A
more fixed and secure tenure may serve
the end. What we want is a candid con-
sideration on the part of Congress, as well
as ON the part Of the President-in short,
fair play all around"

low taxation, is now exploded. The same cry
was raised against the construction OF the
Central Park, and to-day it is seen that the
work has paid for itself in ten years through
its direct benefit to the real estate Immediately
adjacent. Besides, the people do not object
to taxation for the Improvement of the city
when the money is honestly expended. They
refuse to be robbed, but they do not refuse to
be liberal, and their intelligence teaches them
that wise system of public improvement will
advance the business and wealth of the city
with a rapidity of which your theoretical
political economist does not dream.
We have now honest rulers over our city
affairs and The State Legislature can enable
us to keep them, if it will reject any expert
mental charter that may lead us back into our
old Tammany letters. viaduct railroad
could now be constructed by men Of energy,
ability and integrity, and could be made a
public blessing before the whirligig OF politics
turns out of sight the benefits of the last cleo
ton. Let us have law authorizing the city to
raise money to build such road or roads,
and the people will have the benefit OF the
lowest rates of fare consistent with its care
and maintenance, with the addition Of small
revenue for the payment of interest and the
gradual liquidation OF the debt. Let any pri-
vate corporation complete the work, however
economically and faithfully, and the people
will still be taxed in their daily travel to pro-
vide heavy dividends for the stockholders.
Such roads would be, in fact, great public
highways, and it is proper that they should be
built and managed by the city in the interest
Of tue people alone. There are already indi-
cations that the lobby spectators are destined
to destroy each other in their wranges among
themselves for the spoils. If the fate of the
Kilkenny cats awaits them the people will be
the gamers. Let the reform Legislature show
itself worthy of its name by drawing closely
the strings of the bag in which they are
fighting, and then pass law authorizing
the construction Of two viaduct roads by the
Corporation of the city Of New York. This is
what the city needs and what the people will
heartily endorse.

Popular Reaction Against Radicalissn In

''After storm comes calm" This time
honored truism has received additional con-
firmatiou as to its unvarying correctness
by the proceedings of Me French Legislative
Assembly. The parliamentary body which
has been SO violently convulsed during the past
few days by tho criminati0n and recrmnation'
Of many of lis members in unseemly per-
sonali,ies has become suddenly conservative
with respect to the preservation of the existing
order Of outside governmental affairs in the
Old World. A bill Of penalties against mem
hersbip ia the International Society has been,
debated ana passed. The existence Of the
secret afIilation wus declared by ono
n,ember 10 be "a standing menace 70

dissented. TIE bill was affirmed Ia principle.
notwithstanding. lis very first clause de-
clares for the French that ''it is criminal
offence to belong to the International" This
clause was carried by q vote of sol to lO4.
Other provisions Of The measure are painfully
penal against the act Of union in the body,
going 80 far as to deprive citizens OF their
civil rights aud domestic status for the fact OF
membership or connection with the organiza-
ton, as will be seen by tho report OF cur latest
eiegrans from Paris.
