The Indians and Their Doctors In
Morality.

Morality.
While State rights, the currency and the
tariff have each their doctors of rival schools
and opposite treatments, our interesting
savages can put in an equal claim to being the
victims of the schools of lead and Of hymn
books. When they were not directly treated
by either these patients of ours have met with
quackeries of every class, from smallpox
incubation to whiskey dosing, and from being
taught the art of cheating by agents and
border ruffans, to being left to their own
sweet wills for change. 1t has long been
conceded that the prime evil Of the matter is
the Indians existence at all. Since, however,
he has proved to possess q disagreeable
tenacity in holding on to this life his COM
plant has been generally diagnosed as an
exuberance of animal spirits, leading him to
consider murder in its most atrocious
form a delightful pastime and robbery
high virtue The hymn-book doctors
aver that the ounce-dose-of-le doctors
have had full fling at the patient, and that the
treatment, though ''heroic," was not success
full So the Great Father gave the hymn
book doctors chance at Poor Lo. For some
three years past they have been pelting him
with government raions and paper pellets
inscribed with holy phrases, but the exu-
berant savage only seems to have taken
notice of the food supply part of the process.
He saved his ammunition during the Winter,
and then when the grass was long went
cheerily on his melodious way scalping as
before. Friend Tatum, o worthy disciple of
the hymn-book school, as described in letter
to the HERALD elsewhere, confesses himself
discouraged; but his colleagues of the hymn
book University are still sound in their faith.
At q recent meeting in Washington the
Faculty assembled and held forth on the sue
cess Of their efforts. Although the company
looked at that article under the most powerful
microscopes of complacently pious egotism
they could not discover much to comfort them
and if they only examined it with the
naked eye they would discover much
less. The most determined professors of
the lead school allow these gentlemen the
merit Of earnestness, and the magnanimous
way in which they have given numerous shades
Of Christianity chance to walk the hospitals
we mean the Territories--is evidence thereof.
Still, there is not little subject for satire left
in the pious squabbles over the exact ratio In
which the various sects should administer TO
the Indians their respective doses OF Christian
ity. They are also sufficiently eclectic to adj
vocate at times peculiar modes of cure. The
enthusiastic Mr. Lowry believed that we
should adopt the policy of the British in
India by having Indian troops for service in

set down as at sixty thousand mon for the
four years Of this destructive war. Tho worst
of it is TINT even with the subjugation of the
insurgents the island, from the waste and
demoralizing effects OF this war. especially
upon the slave population, can never more be
valuable possession to'Spain.
Nevertheless, the Spanish government is
evidently impressed with tho idea that with
the suppression of this instruction, and with
the prolongation of her Cuban system Of
African slavery-the most terrible system
known to the civilized world-Cuba may again
become the financial mainstay of poor Spain.
There con be no profit to Spain from Cuba
with the abolition of slavery The examples
of Jamaica under slavery and under emanci-
patton, and of Hayti and Dominica, establish
this proposition. When Seiior Zorrilla, there
fore, declares that Spain will do nothing
towards the practical abolition Of slavery IN
Cuba until the last of the insurgents shall
have laid down his arms, he means that,
as Cuba would be valueless to Spain without
slavery, she will maintain it while she holds
the island. Spain means TO hold the island.
if she can, and to make it again, under her
slavery system, if possible, what it was before
the war-a source of golden revenues, and not
an island gone to decay, like st. Domingo and
Jamaica, under emancipation.
But in this design the moral sense of the
civilized world is all against her. She stands
now almost alone among civilized States as the
Nh nc oh Of h,,vo
slavery. But in her desperate extremities she
cannot yet think of relnquishing the rich
profits she hopes to recover from the system
in Cuba. Hence the diplomatic hedging of
Senior Gorilla. He may not, however, have
seen that disputed despatch of Mr.. Fish. If
not, can anything be easier than the sending
him another copy of that interesting paper on
emancipation in Cuba2 President Grant, in
our judgment, struck the keynote for the
emancipation of the island in those brief re-
marks in his late annual Message on the ques-
ton of the emancipation Of the slaves thereof
The insurgents, in proclaiming their revolt
proclaimed the abolition of slavery, because
they foresaw the consequences to Spain, and
our government, in taking up the hint and in
pushing the cause Of emancipation at Madrid,
next to the proclamation of belligerent rights
for the Cubans, is doing the best thing it can
fairly do for the cause of Cuban independence
Upon this point we call again upon the
four millions of emancipated blacks Of the
United States to prosecute in every city and
town of the Union the agitation which they
inaugurated recently in Cooper Institute for
an active diplomatic Intervention on the part
of our government in behalf of the liberation
of the four hundred thousand slaves of Cuba;
for in the united voice of the colored voting
element of the United States, seven hundred
thousand strong, there is power in behalf of
liberty to the slave which cannot be disre-
garded ut Washington.

The Resurrection OF Our Streets ana
Railroads.&c. Lesson for the Future.
For nearly three weeks after the great
Christmas snow storm many of our streets
and portions of our city railroads lay buried
in graves of snow Saturday was the first
when the rails on Ann street were resurrected
and ready for the cars. The stoppage of Ann
street, which is fast becoming one Of the most
important business thoroughfares in the city,
occasioned great inconvenience, and has again
directed public attention to the necessity Of
the proposed widening of the street, now
more imperative than ever. Years ago it was
conceded that the best way to relieve Broad
way in its most crowded part, below the City
Hall Park, would be to widen Ann street to the
river, and thus afford an C1tlet to the enormous
traffic passing in that direction and now
driven to seek the inconvenient streets below
Ann. The project was then defeated by the
pecunary interest in it to which they believed
themselves entitled Now that the Post Office
has.been located in the Park, and large, COM
modious buildings, such as the great fireproof
iron building on Nassau, between Fulton and
Ann Streets have been erected to'accommo-
date the increased business of the neighbor-
hood, it is absolutely necessary that Ann
street should be made a fine, broad thorough
fare, capable of thoroughly draining Broad
way and affording facilities for the quick
transit of the mails At present Broadway is
destructive impediment to business in the
lower part of tie city, and between the lum-
berine stages, wagons and trucks the constant
blockades are the means Of sacrificing as much
valuable time and money during the year as
would suffice to build and equip five miles Of
railroad.
There is another lesson to be gathered from
the extended blockade Of many of our streets.
II is certain that we have not yet hit upon an
effective method of clearing away the snow
when it falls in large quantities. Under the
old contract system it was suffered to lie until
it melted. The present STRENGTHENING au-
thorities have done much better, but have not
shown success in the late stormy period. It
is certain that combination of separate forces
may be used with advantage in such nm emer-
gency, and probably if every individual house
holder would undertake to dispose OF all the
snow opposite his house and half way across
the road, by sc ne means or another we might
find more speedy relief. But our recent
experience has especially called to mind
the wisdom of compelling the city railroads
to clear the snow from the streets occu-
pied by their tracks as q compensation
for the valuable franchises they enjoy.
These corporations are interested in such
work, for by promptly clearing their tracks
they would avoid loss of business and of
money If they were bound by their charters
to do so they would provide the means to
remove the obstruction efficiently and
speedily, and this could readily be done by
means of large snow carts, which might ba
filed and drawn off on tracks provided foi

/, Ssre Indian country. 1t is very bad hymn
hook e,o,,,ent How much Warren Hast
fngs or Give believed In ..eo hymn book for
the heather Hindoo, or what eveil,..a az De1in
and Lucknow the employment of native troops
led to. Mr.. Lowry possibly has forgotten or
never learned The humane picture of Lord
strathnairn blowing the Sepoys from English
guns he might just as well recall and how the
hymn-book people in England thanked God
for the consoling sacrifice Until he informs
himself he had rs well let the Indian troop
theory alone. But ''of such is the kingdom
of heaven"
We should indeed hesitate before saying an
unkind word for these benevolent folk, but it
is plain that they must fail unaided. Their
most experienced disciples, not the stay-at-
homes, admit it, and, however odorous of
sanctity the project may appear. it should not
be allowed to merge into pious but pernicious
fraud. The Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches
OF Sioux, to name q few tribes, can never be
subdued by biscuits, beef and Bibles alone.
They must feel that murder and robbery will
be punished inexorably before they will be
amenable to milder treatment. The sad spec
tacle of aperishing race is one that appeals to
most human sympathies; but the most extrava-
CANT humanitarian. in weeping over the deca-
dence of race Of constitutional murderers
and thieves, should not allow that feeling to
degenerate into maudlin apology for their
crimes. From Montana to Texas they are
problem to settlers of the same kind as tigers
to travellers in the jungle. Let them be Gagged,
then, in their reservations with Uncle Sans
armed keepers to prevent their pulling down
the bars. Then, by oil MEANS let the hymn
book doctors move on them in battalons.
The doctrine of love can have no chance with
them until the doctrine Of fear has been sternly
taught.

The RUSSIAN MARCH IN CENTRAL ASIA AND
BRITISH INTERESTS IN THE EAsT.-The Russian
special envoy to the Court Of St. James has
failed TO convince Queen Victoria and her
Ministers that the Cars armed advance on
khiva and the English interests in Afghan
'stan are OF identical import, and that the two
great Powers can march unitedly, but on sep
arate lines, towards the consummation of o
grand Christian aud commercial triumph in
that quarter of Asia. NJ Schouvalof, the st.
Petersburg special representative in London,
has not been able to accomplish the object of
his commission from Alexander, and has con-
sequently returned to the Russian capital-tbe
cable despatch says, without effectinp an ar
rangement." This is very diplomatic wav Of
placing the event before the public but the
words are no doubt apropos to the case. The
proposed arrangement in Central Asia is likely
TO fall through somewhat after the fashion of
that which was projected for joint admins
.ration to the effects of the ''Sick Man" of

GERMAN TRIUMPH OVER CONQUERED FRANCE
The German Imperial Crown has resolved, ap-
parently, that the French people shall not for
get the humiliations which their country en-
dured in the late war. Eighty-six French
flags captured in battle were solemnly placed
in the garrison church of Potsdam yesterday
for the decoration of the walls of the building.
His Majesty Emperor William, the Empress
Augusta, the Imperial Princes and number
of the most distinguished commanders of the
army were present The scene was completely
national, of o compound of military, religious
and corporate citizen character. The Emperor
addressed the assemblage, and thanked the
army for its heroism, pronouncing, like unto
an infalibist, the eternity of its glory
Whether France will accept the dogma, now
that Napoleon is dead, remains to be seen.
