THE RAGING FLAMES.

The increasing number Of large fires
throughout the land is well calculated 10
give US pause. During the winter months,
when the dangerous element is IN general
and constant use for heating purposes, we
naturally look for serious casualties from
the carelessness and accidents that attend
humanity. Experience has also taught in
surapce men to anticipate an extra crop OF
fires ia the fall of the year, when the ad-
vent of cold weather induces the hasty put
ling up OF heating apparatus, and the use
of those already standing which may be
out of order. But the large crop oil tires at
this season, which the telegraph is daily
recording, is unusual and phenomenal IN
the history of insurance. How far the in.
or easing use of coal oil, among the poorer
classes especially, may explain 1t, is ques-
ton ofimportance. But the cry simeon
diary" is also becoming dissgreeably ire
ouent in connection with these large con-
fagrations, and the bitter struggle between
capital and labor in many of our Northern
cities suggests motive. Certain it is, that
coal oil can be terrible element in the
hands of wicked men, doing its work etiec-
lively, with the rapidity of lightning, and
consuming all traces of its use. In many
countries of Europe the sale of petroleum
is under the surveillance Of the police, and
is hedged around wi h many precautions.
In Italy, no person can buy more than a
quart of it at time, and must account for
its consumotion before repenishing. Those
who deal in the article, and manufacturers
who use it in quantities, are obliged to give
bonds for its safe-keeping.

GRANTS INDIAN POLICY.

John o. Farrell, Esq, writing from Port
neuf CANYON, has this to say concerning
the Boise Indians, Oregon neighbors of the
Modocs
"They say their hearts are sick to see
what is going on at the agency. The other
day one of the chiefs asked me what made
Washington president Grant) hire men to
come here to steal what belonged TO The
Indians. They say that Washington (Presi-
cent Grant) is as bad as the bad Indians, to
send among them bad men that can steal
and tell lies. This is their own talk, and L
must say this is poor way to improve the
habits of the Indians when they are them
selves making remarks about the agents OF
the government"
Rsdicalism brings forth the same fruits
in whatever soil. The seed is the same.

xHADIN THE GREAT LAKES.

A late dispatch from Rochester, n. "
says; "Last night in hauling seine in
Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the Genesee
river, FIVE shad two years old, were caught.
The spawn was placed in the Genesee river
by Seth Green, two years ago. The shad
appeared last season, and are now on hand
again. The largest one measured eleven
inches in length. The catch is considered
a very important one" Ifshad prosper in
Ontario and other great lakes, as appears
likely, we shall soon have them as plenty as
white fish, pickerel and others from that
source. Considering the large area and
volume of our lake and river waters, l. is
easy to see that fish culture is soon to be-
come an important industry in this coun-
try From two parents, Seth Green OF
Western New York, raises young fry by
the hundred Thousand. Nothing but
female oyster can beat fish in laying eggs.

shall not interfere at all, unless there be an
actual uprising of assembled Insurgents
Against an apprehended insurrectlon' or .
prospective instruction, or fictitious m
surrectsop, he has no authority whate yer.
1t is preposterous, 1t is ridiculous, 10 com
mand body of me to disperse, when there
is no body of men assembled; to order them
to retire to their homes when there are no
insurgents who have left their homes Inns
is what Grant did on sham application OF
which he was himself the suthor, and
Kellogg only the subservient tool. Inc
law requires the President to exercise his
Judgment as to The necessity Of giving mill
tary aid, even when the instruction is real
and the applicsti N proceeds in good faith
from the Governor of the State. 1t is his
duty to ascertain whether the app ication
it made in good faith, and whether BODY
of insurgents is actually assembled in re-
sistance TO the State government. lfthere
be no proof of either, then there is no case
for the President to consider; nothing on
which there is any scopsfor the exercise of
judgment. But even if there be 81 actasl
instruction and a proper application, tie
President is not bound to interfere, nay, he
has no right to int ~sfere, unlessthe insur-
gents have ASST -ied In such, numbers,
and with such formidable support. that
valid and properly organized State govern
ment might entertain just fears OF its abili-
ty to cope wi.hthe insurrection by employ
ing its own militia. Gen. Grant has dis
gracefully violated every rule which ought
to govern the action of the President in
anch a case .

PROTECTION.


Now that the farmers of the country are
becoming aroused to . just apprecia' ion
of the oppression to which they have been
for SO Iotg time subjected at the hands of
conscieDceless railroad N 1nOpolies, and are
manifesting an inclination to assert their
rights, 1t is to be hoped that they viii rot
lose sight of the much greater tyranny and
outrage imposed upon them through our
present governmental system Of robbing--
our protective tariff. That 1t is in reality,
legaIized larceny, no man in his right mind
can doubt. Onerous burdens are in the
name OF aproteetion to home industries"
enforced upon the entire farmin and agri-
cultural interests Of the country, by means
of which the money earned by them in the
fell is transferred from their pockets to
those Of few greedy manufA curing me-
ncpolies. The whole system Of protection
il. q bare-iaced swindle and patent fraud.
Not one man in hundred thousand but Is
injuriously affected by it. 1t has rendered
void many Of the bounties which the Gre
ator provided forthe people Of this nation.
No land has richer mines of iron, lead and
copper than ours; yet, thanks to this "pro.
tectiVe SYSTEM" our iron, lead and copper
cost us more thin any other people on the
globe. Destroy all Of these mines and our
sastesn Of tariff with them, and all the in
babitants of this land, save the monopo-
lists, would be richer therefor. We recoi'
iect to have seen fine painted illustration
of the beauty of ire much Wanted "Amer-
lean system" some time ago.. With ex-
haustless lakes of saltin the United States,
could hole be bored through to China and
all the brine in them sent there, with our
| Chinese tariff we could at once get all the
salt we need at half the present price.
BoIax is q prime necessity for timers and
blacksmiths, besides being much used in
medicine. A few years ago 1t was brought
| fro a the Island of Sicily and from Ven
ice and was sold in this country
| Tor ttpenty cents a pound. Unfortunately
q Borax Lake was found upon the Pacific
slope which proved to be the richest depos-
It Of borAx upon the globe. At this disccv-
cry all the consumers of borsx who heard Of
it, ' ere ready TO shout for joy. But 10
and behold, 1t went into the hands of q
company and the company went to Wash
ington, and duty went upon the borax
and now we are paying fifty instead Of t'0en
| ty cents pound for borAx. So with Emery
which is largely used in the arts, and for.
merly came from The Mediterranean Sea
AS bad luck would have it, an Emery Mine
| was discovered in Massachusetts, and The
result is Emery has almost doubled in price
Thus are the gifts OF God, to us given in
the richest profusion, though perniciou'
Governmental Tariff transformed intC
curses. 1t is no exaggeration to call the
whole blighting system, a legalized robbery
ofthe many in the interest of the few. How
much longer will the people who are thui
oppressed by wicked legislation uncom
plSiningIy bear the burden?
