govern the Irish in celebrating this day.
In their banquets and parades they never

The birthplace OF the saint has always

VERY VULGAR.
The follovinp we find in the Troy CL

The following we find in the Troy Chief:
"The Sabetha Adraace touches up the Leaven-
worth TIMES lively on its vugarity and obscenity
Ays il is adisgrace to journalism and not fit to be
read in decent community. Which moves US to
remark, that the TINES has had great deal TO say
about the vulearity Of the Chsf, bat the TINES in
one week can discount US for q whole year in that
particular, and then beat us out Of sight
In another place We find this:
'.The Force Bill, about which much has been
said, did not relate to Bills who try 10 force women
The last We regard as almost too obscene
and vulgar to publish, but We give it to our
readers to show them what kind of a paper
Sol. Miller publishes. We do not see how
any decent family can take it. 1t is well
edited, we'll printed, and very interesting,
but decidedly too obscene for any use

TIE INDIAN QUESTION.

The Indian question is virtually settled,
that is, il public opinion settles anything.
There seems to be great unanimity among
western people in favor OF transferring the
management of the Indians, particularly
those who will not be civilized, over to the
military. Men who have suffered from the
dastardly outrages of these uncouth, unciv-
ilized and treacherous beings, feel that it is
almost a crime in the government TO allow
them to continue their murderous raids.
The Indians remain quiet during the Win
ter, receive their rations and ammunition,
and when the grass grows leave their reser-
vations and begin to plumber and steal from
the settlers. Gen. Pope's suggestion, as TO
the best way of dealing with them, is excit-
ing great deal of favorable comment The
general desire is that the experiment should
be tried in this western country. 1t has
been proven success in Canada, where the
English government has several tribes vir-
tually civilized by this same methsd, The
Dodge City Messenger regards the plan most
favorably and it ought to have some sensible
ideas on the subject The New York World,
Pittsburgh Commercial and numerous other
dailies also approve it, and We hope soon to
see the Indians separated from Us only by
the Missouri river.

THE MISSOURI pxxIrIxrIAsY.

The management of the Missouri Peni-
tertiary is disgrace to that State. The
Legislature has been in session for some
time, and has had under consideration the
management of this institution. The evil
dence given before that body reflects most
severely on the lessees of the prison. But
the Legislature being Democratic, and not
wishing to compronise the party, did not
investigate the frauds thoroushly. O6cial

Col. Phillips and Mr.. Watts, the Commits

The former gentleman, ever since the
Forty Third Congress convened, has wor ked

hoppers have left great many OF them
destitute, he has redoubled his efforts to OBJ

OF COURSE HE DID

In the case of the State of Kansas against
Houston, for libel, Castle was denounced as
"defaulter." Ii will lie remembered that
in the trial Houston swore he was not editor
of the Commercial.
In order to prove that Houston's integri-
ty is at fault, We quote the following from
the Commercial OF January Oath, the day af-
ter the libel suit was commenced:
DAMAGED CASTLE
MP B. Castle thinks his fair name has been sui
lied by the Commercial, Yesterday he sought the
advice of attorney and instituted libel suit against
Col ID. W Houston, Of this paper. Castle doesn't
want \ cash-siiye for his wound. He simply wants

tegrity, and have the proprietor az the Commercial

glad Castle has determined to pursue this

tual Life Insurance Company Of Milwaukee, SIM

ployes- Ii may he proper 90 saw in this connection
thai Col u. W. Houston did not write, cause 10
be written the alleged ilels Moreover, he did not
zee the hbellous sentences until they appeared in
print, but, notwithstanding this, he holds himself
responsive for what has been said and viii in no
mana seek evade dodge the respousib lity for
every thing concerning Mr. Castle that has been pub
hshed in this journal since he purchased il There

edge that he II the straight rad TO fair impartial
justice. On Col Houston's part there will be le-

In the conduct Of the case. This is plain business
fur the blind goddess with the scales
ID. w. Houston's name is al the head of
his paper. He is the responsible editor,
notwithstanding his oath to the contrary.
There was no proof that Castle was de-
fanlter, yet Judge Wood, as we said he
would do, discharged the defendant.
In our opinion, this decision is just. We
don't think the case is one Of sufficient
cause for libel, although the outrage is ten
times greater than The TINES article on
Hines.
However, TO our mind it proves Wood
nui1ty Of = violation of his oath of Office,
n Il he is right in discharging Houston, he

zlnion, we believe, three-fourths of the
Nep'e concur.
