Destroying Wagon Trains.

The evidence Of the watchfulness
Of the military over the Black Hills
country, afforded by the arrest OF
a party on the way there, and the
destruction of its entire outfit, is of
a very convincing nature too
much so, in fact, to be palatable.
The turning back of expeditions
which have set out for the forbid
den grounds is well enough, but
the wanton destruction of private
property in addition is gross out
rage, is not lessened in the least be-
cause committed by the military.
We should like to know by what
warrant a United States officer
assums to burn wagons, rations,
supplies and arms, as was done at
Gordon Cityi The government
would do well to check its over
jealous officers. 1t is not unlikely
that it will have to pay roundly
for the excuses which the military
have INDUCED in, and then the fun
Of making a bonfire out of private
will not be so soon appar-
ent. In the disarmament of sup
posed Black Hills expeditions the
must proceed circumspect-
ly, or grave mistakes will be made.
The duty of watching over the re-
gion is one which ought to be in
trus' Ell to none but the most discreet
hands, and the wagon burning ex-
plot should apprise the government
Of the necessity of giving them ex-
plicit instructions. The destruc-
ton of the trains of expeditions
ought to be strictly prohibited, at
east until those expeditions have
passed into the forbidden territory,
end even then not unless there is
\ strong necessity for it.-Fee

AS was expected, the Republic
cans of New Hampshire are dissatis-
fed with the action of the Governor
and Council in unseating two Re-
publican Senators whose seats are
contested. At Manchester, meet
ing was called, and Resolutions
were passed denouncing the action
of the Governor and Council as
usurpations, and pledging resist
ance by all lawful means. Several
speeches were made. Most of
them were very severe in tone.
One speaker pronounced the opin-
ions in favor of the Democratic
candidates delivered by Judges
Sawyers and Fowlers, as purchased
opinions. The meeting was quite
enthusiastic, and the speakers were
applauded whenever they touched
upon the beligerent. One speaker
asserted that the Republicans had
sense enough to find a remedy and
strong arms enough to enforce it.
This is brave talk. 1t is not prob
able, however, that the militia will
be called out to crush this incipi-
ent rebellion against the action Of
the constituted authorities who
acted in the case.

At a recent meeting Of the
Methodist ministers of New York
city the questson of keeping the
bible in the public schools was dis
cussed. The drift Of sentiment
was that the public schools should
be purely secular, and that the
bible should be excluded, as a
matter Of both Justice and policy.
To insist in keeping the bible in
the schools would be to furnish
those m favor of UNCONVENTIONAL
schools the only valid excuse for
their demand that they can en-
ploy.

There is another Brooklyn min
lister in trouble. 1t is the Rev. j.
d. Fulton, and his congregation
finds fault with the excess OF his
dignity in dealing with the dea-
cons of the church. They insinu-
ate, also that he "exagcrates,"
which is strange offense to be
charged to a parson in the City OF
Churches. Mr.. Fulton has been
asked to resign, but has respect

An OdiOus Comparison.

If our civil service is the best in
the world, how is it that that por-
ton of it whose business it was to
collect the tax on spirits so miser-
ably failed to prevent Illicit distill-
alton when the tax was So gallon !;
could not protect the revenue
when the tax was 81, when it was
rs cents or when it was 90? With
So per gallon tax the tempta-
ton to indulge in Illicit distillation
was undoubtedly very strong; but
the revenue officers employed for
the purpose of guarding against
fraud were both numerous and well
paid. In spite of them, however,
there was in the days of the high
tax almost as much CROOKED" as
"strait" WHISTLES in the market |;
and whenever this has not been
the case since it has been be-
cause the whiskey ring did not
think it profitable to indulge in
illicit distilling. A large proper
ton of the officers whose duty II
was to look after the distilleries
must have been either dishonest or
lamentably inefficient or the ring
would not have found 1t so easy a
matter to defraud the revenue
But while in the United States the
"best civil service" has been un-
able to completely collect a whisky
tax as light as seventy-ive cents
per gallon and acknowledged its in.
ability to collect more than o mole
ty of the amount really due with
the tax at 81, in England they
make no difficulty in collecting M
excise tax Of ten shillings, or near
ly $3.50 In gold on each gallon o
spirits. Last year In Great Britain
SIS, 100000 was derived from tn
internal tax on spirits, and thoug1
the tax is higher than IL eve

Very prudently does the Chica-
go Tribune suggests, in connection
with the statement of the probabili-
ty of an attempt being made to i'm
peach Governor Weston, Of New
Hampshire, that "there is danger
the Republicans will overdo the
thing" There is danger, indeed.
Evidenee accumulates that the Gov
srnsr has done nothing for which
hs can be impeached; and if the
Republican House of Representa-
tives attempt it they will be justly
chargable with carrying partisan
ship beyond the verge Of vindic-
tiveness.

Senator Booth, Of California, has
not yet tired of being an Indepen-
dent. He was given q reception
on the occasion of his return to
San Francisco, and was particularly
emphatic in his declarations in IA
vor of the Independent party in
California The position of the SEN
ator is.important as indicating that
the so-called Dolly Vardens will
participate in the political cam
paign in California, and there will
therefore be three tickets in the
field. Republicans had been felic-
itating themselves that Booth had
abandoned..the Independents; that
the third party movement in Cal
ifornia, had died out completely,
and they anticipated such a pow
erful reinforcement to their ranks
from the Independents as to render
their success certain at the cleo
ton in September. They have
now found out their mistake, how
ever, and will speedily return to
their old arguments" of abuse and
viturperation.

No sooner is the Princeton cannon
trouble apparently settled than a
new and unforeseen complication
arises. The quarrel over the rev.
dictionary relic has attracted the
attention Of the War Department
and aroused the suspicion that it
is really the property of the
United States Government. An
investigation is being made and
the result Of it will most probably
be that students at either of the
Jersey colleges who desire hereaf-
ter to gaze upon the venerable
weapon of war will be compelled
to visit the ordnance department
at Washington.

The Certainty of Punishment.


1t is not surprising that the
late horrible murder in Boston
should have awakened new zeal
in the Massachusetts, advocates Of
capital punishment, though it
might seem that a failure Of that
penalty as a statutory menace to
prevent the murder in question
affords very weak evidence of its
efficacy. The hesitation about
executing Pomroy, however, has
been so distasteful to the Changers
that they are quite willing to sus-
tain their views with the apparent
ly strong argument furnished by
the belfrey tragedy and to insist
that the latter is In some sort q
consequence failure TO carry out
the law in the case Of the former.
It is not necessary to subscribe
fully to the doctrine that hanging
Is the best use a murderer can be
put to before conceding that the
persons who charge the delay in
the Pomroy case with the respon-
sibility for crimes subsequently
perpetrated have q measure O,
reason in their arguments. For
whatever may be said as to the de.
tcrrent force Of severity Of punish.
