IL view Of the frequent necessity of blowing

organization, by creating a corps of sappers

particularly in the use Of explosives, and to be
prepared TO quickly destroy buildings when
such course is necessary. There Is no doubt
that such an organization would be of especial
value in eOmpactly built cities, if the water
supply should be interrupted either by extreme
cold or by drOuth. It's services would also be
valuable in cities like New York and Boston.

Uncle Sam has thus far been unable TO satisfy
the popular yearning for postal cards, notwith-
standing every effort has been made to render
yexatious accidents have interfered with the
steady production of the cards, and the manu-
facturers are still considerably below the mark
in more respect than one. They have several
times, whether intentionally or not, turned out
cards of q very inferior quality, the material
being below the standard in weight and defec-
tive in the printing, and on one occasion the
manufacture Of cards was entirely suspended
for time on this account. The Post Office
department has had sufficient cause in many in
stances TO annul the contract, but hesitate to
do so As long as there is reasonable prospect Of
improvement on the part of the present manu-
faeturers, for the reason that q delay of several
months would necessarily ensue before a new
firm would be able to meet the requirements of
the department. 1t Is the general superstition
that the present company accepted the contract
at too low figure, twenty cents per thousand
below all other bidders and that they are en-
deayoring to save themselves by turning out in
feriOr work The public will sustain the Post
ONCE department in insisting upon strict
compliance with the contract entered into with
the present manufacturers. The fact is, that
all such work for the government should be
done by the government here at the capital
1t would be much less expensive, and being
under the superintendent of government Off
GERS the work would be done much more salts
factorily.

1t is rather rough on the Pawnees that their
treaty rights should be curtailed because a
thousand Sioux recently fell upon and massa-
cred sixty or seventy Of their helpless women and
children in Nebraska, but such it is intimated
will be the case, the excuse being that this act
of hostility between the Pawnees and the Sioux
is violation Of the treaty Of 1868, which per-
mitted both tribes the privilege of Hunting off
their reservations through the country drained
by the Republican river in Nebraska, so long
rs they kept the peace towards each other and
the government. The recent commission sent
out to the Sioux went for the purpose, as has
been stated, of requesting them to give up this
hunting privilege, but after ascertaining their
feelings on the subject did not even make the
demand, understanding, as they did, that the
right referred to had been solemnly guaranteed
the Indians by the treaty Of 1868. The late
Pawnee massacre will furnish an excuse for the
government to withdraw from both tribes the
privilege Of hunting outside of the reserya-
tons, hut most people will fail to see how the
Pawnees have forfeited their right, when it is
admitted that in the late massacre the Sioux
were the aggressors. The attempt OF the gov
eminent to confne these tribes to their reserva-
lions may lead to serious trouble, as the Sioux
can muster some 1000 or 5000 warriors, and
have not been in the best temper for some time
past.
