Interesting facts contained in our CORE
spondence from the forces operating against
the Indians in the Far West are published else
where. The army seems at last to be fighting
the rebeIlious redskins upon . somewhat more
sensible plan than heretofore, and it is hope
full that the victory, if one is gained, shall be
decisive enough to put period to the un-
happy record of Indian murders, outraRes
and federal vengeance. While discussing
the progress of the Indian war it were
well If lesson were learned by our
model statesmen from tho moral which is
plainly indicated by the established system Of
dealing with the aboriginal savages. This
seems to be one of the causes-if not the chief
one-of the incessant horrors that mark the
sanguine advances of white civilization west
ward. To federal civl officials the name of
Indian is seemingly but Synonymous with that
of dupe and victim. They eagerly and openly
cheat him, and the government, which they
50 disgracefully represent, is astonished to find
its untutored wards and dependents sensible
to this dishonest and unjust treatment

Mr. BERaH won case in court yesterday,
the owner of dog, employed to run a cider
mill being found guilty of cruelty to animals
and punished with twenty-five dollar fine.
The testimony was conflicting, such experts
as Recorder Hackett and ex-Mayor Hall testi-
flying to the cruel treatment, while ex- Mayor
Tiemann thought otherwise. As the dog could
say nothing the Court very properly gave him
the benefit of the doubt

The FORTHCOMING CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH
CAROLINA promises to be of ON interesting if
not exciting character. The correspondence
which we publish elsewhere to-day, embody-

Material candidate opposed to Chamberlain,
shows that the colored population is at least
tired of Moses and his disreputable financial
policy and that o somewhat healthier tone has
recently been manifested in the State.

Governor Dix and the Gag Law.
Governor Dix made pleasant little speech
at dinner given him in Buffalo on Tuesday
evening" and while keeping clear of party
politics, as the proprieties of the occasion re-
quired him to do, he bore manly testimony in
favor Of certain great political principles
which he thinks should be alike dear to all
parties. Among these is one which has pc
culiar pertinence at the present time, in view
of the infamous gag law passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress. Governor Dix said 'there
should be no infringement of the liberty OF
the press, although it may sometimes run
into RIGHTEOUSNESS; for whenever it transcends
the bounds. of fairness, decency or truth the
good sense and the good feeling of the people
are always on the side of the assailed, and
the offending journal is sure to find its
influence impaired for usefulness, as well as
for mischief" The voters Of New York will
cordially indorse these excellent sentiments
respecting the liberty OF the press and they
will only regret that the occasion was not
fitting one for the expression Of the Governors
views on the third term question: topic of
deeper public interest We hope proper
occasion may arise or be created for frank
statement by General Dix on this disturbing
question, which his party adversaries are
using to his prejudice with no small effect.
If it be said that we ought not to doubt what
his sentiments are on this subject it may be
replied that there was quite as little reason to
doubt his soundness respecting the liberty of
the press. But when this is threatened he

declaration of his sentiments. and it ia equally

The Case or Count Won Arnam.

The arrest Of Count Won ArniE Is evidently
a matter of extreme Importance, for such
sudden and arbitrary measure would only be
adopted by Germany in the presence of a real
emergency. The scandal in Europe, the cer-
tain sympathy with the prisoner, are alone
reasons why such step would not be taken
for trivial cause. 1t was probably determined
upon by the German government when it had
exhausted all other methods of obtaining tho
papers which it ia said the Count has
taken from the archives Of the Empire.
In all such cases there is much that
Is unknown to tbe public until years fre-
quently have elapsed, and the mystery is some
times never revealed. Won Arnim is not
another ''man in the iron mask" but he is o
man in an iron hand, and his situation is cer-
tainly very serious. If the government wishes
to keep him he cannot escape as easily as did
that other distinguished prisoner Bazaine.
The latest features of this extraordinary
affair are published to-day, and they include
the report that the missing documents are in
the possession OF the ultramontane leaders In
Munich and Vienna, and that some of them,
at least, are to be published. One hundred
of these State papers are said to be gone On
the contrary, Count Won Arnim denies that
he intended to publish or had published any
OF the documents, or that they contained any
State papers In connection with these facts
we publish the correspondent of Won Arnim,
Bismarck and DR.. D5llinger, last spring,
which indicates the important connection Of
this arrest with the Catholic Church in
Europe.

Tho Estimates for 1875.

The charter provides that the provisional
estimates for the expenses of the several
departments in the city government shall be
made up by the Board of Apportionment by
November l. The first week in October has
now passed and no meeting of the Board to
consider the estimates has yet been held. No
more important subject can occupy the atten-
ton Of the city authorities, for upon the
expenditures of the departments depends the
amount of taxation levied upon the taxpayers
of the city Hitherto no sufficient time has
been allowed for the consideration and discus
sion of the estimates, and extravagant appro-
priations have been carried through on the
plea of the limitations of the law We call
upon the Mayor and the other members of the
Board of Apportionment to give their prompt
attention to this matter. We shall insist this
year upon material reduction in all the
departments, and it is essential that the
departmental estimates should be considered
by the Board at an early day if we are to have
a proper enforcement Of economy and to
protect the taxpayers from the extorton to
which they have heretofore been subjected by
reform" city government
LOUISIANA PoL1T1cs have taken new phase.
The pleas for peace which have SO long alter
mated with acts of violence are now made
more dubious by Mr.. Pinchback's address to
the people Of the State which is especially an
appeal to the black voters. He tells them
that they have never been properly rep
resented in the offices of the State
that those who have gained Office have
principally been mongrels or politicians,
and that there are intelligent and
wealthy colored men whom they should
support He blames Mr.. Kellogg for mis-
management Of the State affairs and for un-
just treatment Of the blacks, and accuses him
of regulating his government according to
ideas at Washington. Mr.. Pinchback has
great influence with his race, and this
appeal will have, undoubtedly, cor
responding effect upon the election. A
new issue is presented, and the result ought
to be favorable, indirectly, Mt least to the con-
servative party. The value Of the address is
that Mr.. Pinchback, SO far as we have quoted
him, utters nothing but incontestable truths.
HE episcopal BOARD OF MISSIONS held its
annual session yesterday and considered the
important duties of converting the Indians
and Chinese, more fully, we think, than the
duty OF converting our own heathen. 1t
would be well for the Church to look moro
carefully after this department Of its work,
for it is more essential to its prosperity and
power that it should convert one American
than hundred Hindoos. The Anglican
Bishop of Calcutta appeals for money and
aid. Let the Church tell him there are
thousands Of young paeans in New York
alone who are growing up without its helu.

changed, and let the country grow up to
specie payments by the increase of popula-
ton, wealth and business. There is too much
reason for believing that Mr.. Blaine correctly
estimates the tendencies Of public sentiment
on this important question. The truth is,
as all history proves, that no country which
perpetrated the mistake of depreciating its
currency ever got easily out Of it. The best
known illustration is afforded by Great
Britain, which, in 1877, undertook to suspend
for thirty-two days and continued the suspen-
sion for more than twenty two years.
One Of the most marvellous things in his
tory is the readiness with which nation can
delude itself with false expectations of re-
tracing its steps when it once goes astray in
this dangerous direction. On the 22d Of May,
1897, Parliament authorized the Bank Of Eng
land to suspend specie payments until the Gath
of the following June. Two days before the
expiration Of that brief period it passed an
other act extending the suspension until one
month after the commencement of the next
session of Parliament. Before the end Of the
same year-that is, November 80, 1897, still
another act was passed protecting the bank
against an obligation to pay specie until one
month after the conclusion Of the war. Peace
came by the treaty of Amiens in 1902, but in
stead of enforcing resumption then, as had
been expected, Parliament passed an act,
April 80, 1902, prolonging the suspension
until March /, 1903. One day before the ex-
piration of that period, peace still continuing,
an act was passed postponing the promised
resumption of cash payments until six weeks
after the next session of Parliament But
before that time arrived war broke out
anew, and on December Is, 1903, Parliament
pat off resumption for the sixth time, fixing
the period six months after definltive
treaty of peace, This remarkable series OF
nnstnonements for constantly lan0thenino

1.-The American Tichborne case" as
the $40, 900. 900 coal land lawsuit of
Turnbull Ds. Pardee, in PennsyIvania. is
termed, has al last been settled in favor
OF the defendants. The question at
stake WIS the title to several thousand
acres OF rich coal lands in Luzerne
County. The last Turnbull in whom
the title rested was james. futher OF
the claimant; but he. ignorant of tho
value OF the land, neglected to pay his
taxes, and the property was sold at
Treasurer's sale. Subsequently, it
passed into tho bands OF Otis Pardee
and other great capitalists. The father
OF the plaintiff died while the latter
was child and left him in charge OF a
divorced mother. Young Turnbuli
soon went to sea and traces of him
were lost, though his mother made
efforts. in 1852. to have his claim as
rightfnl owner Of this land substan-
tiated. For twenty years she and
others diligently sought for him, but
not until 1872 did he reach Philadel
phia. His life had been full of adven-
tare. He was the only survivor of
eight in nine days float upon the
sea in an open boat. He then went to
Central America. and atterward to
California. Leaving California, he
went to Mexico, engaging in the con-
struction of canal at Mazatlan.
While there he was robbed several
times. and was once left for dead, with
twelve daggers sticking in him. by a
gang OF Mexicans, who robbed him.
On the way from California to Mexico,
he was the victim OF q steamboat ex-
plosion. in which over hundred were
killed, he being one OF n very few who
escaped. He was several times ship
wrecked, but lived to answer tho sum
mons to come home and prove his
claim to immenso wealth. He worked
faithfully in his cause, but takes his
great defeat philosophically.
