AN ELEMENT IN THE INDIAN PROBLEM

AN ELEMENT IN THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Most readers will get new idea OF the yell
,owstone Expcdition from the letter of our
snecal correspondent. published to-day. Its
chief constituent is an army of 1900 men; ana
while these servo as an escort to the party of rail
road surveyors and the scientists, 1t is evident
that 40 large q body of sOldiery must nave relcr-
ence rather to a military than civil demonStra-
ton. The Sioux constitute an obstacle 10 .ho
march of civilization operations In the region
north and west of the Black Hills have always
been embarrassed and frequently checked by
their rowing bands; main object OF tho fei-
Iowstone Expedition is their Intimidation. ana
perhaps no better way could be devised 10
effect this object than the slow and deliberate
march of this well equipped expedition, during
a period Of three or four months, through
district hitherto lunvisited even by the hard1-
est pioneers.
Although the survey Of a railroad route ia
the Immediate occasion of this demonstration,
the exhibition of the strong arm of the Coy
ernment in that quarter must IN any case
have sooner or later become necessary.
During several successive years there have
been attempts made by that class Of pioneers
that is forever seeking unexplored mining
districts, to penetrate this part of the country.
The legends of the precious metal stored In
the Black Hill region have excited frequent
mining "fevcrs,n and in the last instance
where arrangements were projected for bring
ing some hundreds of miners together in one
expedition, it WAS found necessary to discOur-
age il by "A manifesto issued by Gen. Sheri-
dan. The fact was therein plainly stated that
the Government was unable to protect its cit
zens in all parts of its domain, and that ii
that expedition proceeded into the Black Hill
country, 1t would take an unjusttiable risk OF
destruction. OF course such a state OF affairs
AS this cannot permanently exist on our bor-
ders. A series of Mod0c wars would be one
of its consequences, so long as the savage was
really the pOssessOr of the soil; and the IN
tcrnal Improvement of the Territories would
be indefinitely postponed.
The prospects of scientific acquisitions by
this expedition, for reasons given by our cor
respondent, are unusually promising. There
are now not less than eight considerable ex-
peditions in our Western Territories having in
view, more OF less completely, the pursuit OF
science. We have already described the sue
cess of the Yale College expeditions, and have
laid before our readers the particulars OF those
discoveries, which constitute an epoch in
pala0ntology. Our correspondent with the ell
lowstone Expedition is especially qualified for
describing the details of similar good fortune,
if it should attend the explorations III Montana

A FREE EDUCATION.

We call especial attention to the report OF
the Lehigh University Commencement pub
lished in our columns yesterday. Whether a
prophet should have honor in his own country
or not is question OF loss 10 tho prophet;
but when the people are ignorant Of their
benefactors, it is they who suffer the disad-
vantage. Comparatively few young men
struggling TO gain an education, which will
not only give them basis of culture but
means of livelihood, have heard Of this insti-
tuition; but it takes rank with any Of those
wise charities Of the Quakers, who know 90
well how to help men who help Themselves.
1t originated with Asa Packer Of Pennsylvania,
who gave ffty-six acres of land and one
million Of dollars to build and endow
it. 1t is in reality polytechnic school; the
pupil during the first three terms laying .hs
general foundation Of knowledge which every
man should possess he then selects his pro-
fesson (if it is to be scicntific), and enters
one Of the technical schools Of general ltera-
ture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering.
mining and metallnrgy. or analytical chemistry.
For the whole course the tuition Is abeO-
lutely free; lOdging-rOoms (uDfurnlshed) are
provided In the University, and board is placed
as near cost as possible. Students who ara
compelled by the necessity for labor 10 give
but short time each day to study are cor
daily invited to "cOme aud learn what they
"can.s
In a word. we know Of no application OF
money by any humanitarian. for the benefit
and elevation of the people. which drives
more directly home to It's purpose than that
of Mr.. Packer; and If by making that purpose
more widely known we can assist him in bis
good work. We are heartily willing to do it.

On the third page of The TRIBUNE, to-day,
we print an intelligent and carefully prepared
summary of tho prospects of staple crops
throughout the country. 1t will be seen that
the review is somewhat discouraging, the in
fluenoes of the season being unusually unfa-
vorable. Possibly the state of things may
mend. by and by, but the general outlook is
not hopeful.

The death of Hiram Powers, the famous
sculptor, though not wholly unexpected, per-
haps, by those nearest him, comes with a
shocl, to quick sensibilities. His life has been
40 labOrious and his works are so numerous,
that he seems to have passed into old age.
But he was less than seventy years old; and,
even in this short-living generation, other
monuments might have been expected from
his creative genius. Not only as an artist of
great renOwn will he be mOurned, but as a
sincere, honest man, and passionate lover of
his country. The biography of Hiram Powers
will afford striking lesson to the youth of
the Republic, suggestive as it is of deter
mined effort crowned by splendid success.
His career honors his native land his works
form a noble part of the treasures Of the
world of art.

of Gen. Buffers chances for the Massachusetts
GOvernOrship scan Boston letter printed on
the first page of tO-day's TRIBUNE. Our Oor-
respondent has carefully gone over the field
of local politics, and his conclusions are en-
couraging to the friends of the Representative
from the Essex District. He has the office
holders and the Administration with him.
Let it get out that he has an improving pros
pect of success, and he will gain also the
great army of Ofice-seekers. Unfortunately,
no strong man has yet appeared as the ban

In order to secure the admission of the
shocking letters of the late Mansfield 4. val
worth, the defense in the case of young
Walworth were obliged, yesterday, to dis
cover their plea to the Court. The theory OF
the defense, it now appears is that tho senior
Walworth was demented when he penned the
letters put in evidence; it follows that
strain of hereditary insanity will be pleaded
in extenuation of the crime of the son. This
line of argument is not wholly unexpected J;

TUESDAY, Feb. 4-6P NJ.
There was somewhat more animation in some
departments of trade, but, as general thing, the
markets were quiet and unchanged. The cotton
market was called dull and almost nominal for lots
on the spot. AT the Produce Exchange hour was
quiet put steady, full prices being obtained for all
kinds. Wheat was less active but very firm for
prime at the nominal prices inserted under the
appropriate head. There was scarcely enough
done to make market, however,
scarcely anything being done beyond q

Private cables were said to quote an advance in
Liverpool, but the private (O cables which have

was dull and In buyers favor, though there was no
decided decline. oats were again nrmer under q
freer movement. Whiskey nuctuated somewhat,
but closed steady. There was much animation In
the provisions trade, pork In. particular having
been more freely dealt In, though at about former
prices. Lard was about steady. Freights ruled
strong. with fair offerings and limited room on the
oerths, and q moderate supply OF desirable vessels
