cocred member OF the Committee on Indian Al.
fairs, ia said to be preparing speech the SUBJ
ject in which he will take the broad ground that
the Indians are citizens Of the United States
and cannot be considered or treated other
wise. This opinion, it is well known, Is
entertained by many members. They say that
our whole system OF managing the Indians has
been wrong from the foundation or the govern
ment; that treating with the Indians as separate
sovereignty within our own is an absurdity, and
has been the cause OF all our trouble with them.
The only way to do is to recognize them class of
pauper citizens amenable to our laws and punish
able for their offences, as are other citizens.
Should this view Of the prevail the whole sys-
tenn of agencies may be abolished, and the Indians
lett to take care OF themselves. Many OF those
who have had most experience with these people
to think that this Is the only way the Indians
can be taught civilization. Give them fair start

that they cannot be any longer vagabonds, de-

CONGRESS has adopted a very
singular method To encourage jour-
nalistic enterprise. Under the new
postal law, weekly newspapers
are to be conveyed by mail TO all
parts of the country, at the rate of
one and a-half cents per pound,
while daily papers are to be charged
three cents per pound. In other
words, Uncle Sam proposes to tax
publishers, who patronize him every
day i'm the week, one hundred per
cent. more than he charges to pub
fishers, who patronize him once a
week. Again, tie dailies that ex-
hibit the greatest enterprise in the
size of their papers, are to be pun
ished correspondingly for their lib

THE dawn of common sense
touching the reapportionment con-
tr0versy among our rural western
contemporaries is highly gratifying.
The Lowell Register which, hereto
fore has differed very decidedly
with the views expressed by the
BEE ON the proposed remedies TO
Western Acknowledgement has AT
last arrived at the following conclu-
sions:
at is conceded on all hands that
It Is entirely hmpracticable TO have
fsco extra sessions of the Legislature
this year, and thus to secure both
reApp0rtionment and an early con-
stitufion.
III is now conceded, also, by those
cognizant of all the facts in the
ease, that re-apportionment is, and
WIS, impossible. Had we attempt
ed il. the result would only have
been q complete defeat, with the
evil prestige of which TO enter upon
the campaige. 1t is most fortunate
that it was not attempted,
1t is also a fact that re-apportion-
ment was sought more for its per-
sonal bearings upon the u. 5 sena-
torial campaign, than for its benefits
TO the people at large"

SECRET POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS.


In Il free country, secret political
organizations are a standing menace
to liberty. They are political rings
on a large scale, whose chief aim Is
the concentration of all political
power within the magic circle of its
oath-bound adherents. As long as
free speech and free press remain
the corner stones of our political
fabric, honest men need not shun
the daylight with any political
views they may desire to propagate.
If the advocates of any particular
reform are governed by unselfish
motives they can accomplish their
objects more readily by counting
public investigation of their doc
trines and principles than by dark
lantern organizations. The Ameri-
a Government was founded by
the people for the people, and every
thing that concerns the popular well
fare should be open to public discus
sion.
Charitable organizations and So
cieties whose objects are mutual
improvement and protection, such
as Masons, Odd Fellows, Changers,
and trades unions, have a perfect
right to adopt passwords and signs
for mutual recognition. They have
a right To transact their business in
secret, since that business concerns
only their own members. Political
organizations, on the other hand,
profess to be organized for the pur-
pose of regulating and reforming
the public service, and for conduct
the affairs of the State or Nation.
All the people are interested in the
actions of such organizations, and
consequently their actions should
ever be accessible to the public.
Secret political societies have al
ways been the hot beds of political
corruption, and we need only cite
"Tammany' to prove to veracity of
this declaration. They have as We
have declared at the outset, been a
standing menace to liberty, and we
need only refer to Know nothing
ism and ku kluXism. Men who
fight their battles in the dark, and
expect to waylay their political enc
mics by their underground strategy,
are certainly not entitled to the
confidence of the people.
Much less should they be entrusted
with sacred responsibilities i'm the
cOnduc: of the peoples business.
Against this class of covert REFORM
ers the BEE proposes TO wage nre
lenting warfare. 1t is immaterial
whether the men who have asso-
ciated themselves with secret politi-
cal organizations have been, or are
now, our patrons and friends. If
they have allied themselves with a
band of masked political Ku Ku,Xes
they must prepare TO meet the
| consequences of their impru-
dence. Secret political societies
may sometimes meet with temper
airy success, bat i'm no instance have
they been known TO benefit the
people whose welfare they profess
to have ut heart. The argument
that arrogant capital and soulles
monopolists can only he restrained
by secret political organizations is a
sham that can very readily be eX-
plOded. Capitalists and monopo-
lists without difficulty find emissa-
ries to keep them fully advised
about the plans and schemes of any
secret political body. Every poliri-
cal battle must be fought at the bal
lot-boX and honest people will pre-
fec TO fight their battles in the open
field to sncaking behind the cover
of masked batteries.

THE MAIDEN'S LAMENT.

The setting sun giIded her soft brown hair,
And mellowed the grief in her luminant

Then REDEEMED with bushes her bosom fair
And sank in a blaze of luXuriant dyes.
Yet the sun comes up with the coming morn,
And the West 18th fame again, as OF yore;
But a hope once set is never reborn,
And q heart that is broken is dead evermore.
So the maiden moaned with the moaning trees.
And lifted wet eyes 10 the rising moon,
And whispered her woe 10 the whispering
breeze
She must wear Ler s. ring hat ill the end OF
June.
