AMONG our kilograms this morning will
be found the opinion of Attorney General
Pratt, of New York, affirming the validity
of Savings banks investments of deposits in
the 3-65 bonds of the District of Columbia.
This opinion supersedes that recently given
by the Assistant Attorney General (Fair-
child) several weeks ago, which had such
depressing effect upon these securities at
the time in the New York stock market.
That opinion was widely circulated by the
stock, ,jobbing press of New York, which
suffers no opportunity to pass unimproved
for injuring the interests of this District.
The Sun and Tribune have not ceased to
discredit our bonds whenever occasion
offered them the opportunity. Shortly
after the delivery Of his opinion, Mr.. Fair
child was nominated for the position of
Attorney General, and received the support
of those journals, which appeared to think
that the blow that he aimed at the credit of
the District of Columbia was quite feather
in his cap. Since that opinion has been in
effect reversed by Attorney General Pierre
pont, Mr.. Charles O'Conor and Attorney
General Pratt, of the State of New York,
it is probable that the Sun and Tribune
will tease their stock -jobbing paragraphs
regarding them.

Of The hostile sentiments which were 50 oftsnI
declared. There is, 90 far as one who lives
bere can judge, sincere desire TO be on good
terms with the United States. There are,
however, Q good many old Anglo-Rebels whose
sympathies with the lost cause are stu keen.
They hate the North as they did during the
war, and despise 1t as much as circumstances
will now permit It is from them, presume,
that the Stonewall jackson statue comes"
The New York Herald men are styled the
"ever ready" There is a pecu1iarity about
the duties of these men which we fail to find
connected with the rest of the press of the
world. From the periodical "shaking up"
which is positive and long established fes-
ture of Mr.. Benefits paper, strange results
oftimes occur. While member of that es-
tablishment is quietly engaged in the daily
avocations of his business he is liable at any
moment to receive instructions to fly to foreign
lands or to the farthest extremity of his own
country in some reportorial enterprise which
may have struck the proprietor as necessary
to the advancement of the interests of his
paper. O'Kelly, of the Herald staff, who
some time ago acquired considerable fame as
martyr of Spanish austerity and tyranny in
Cuba, recently received instructions from the
Herald to hold himself in readiness to sail for
Europe at twenty-four hours notice. Poor
fellowl He had just taken to himself wife,
and was costly ensconsed in a pleasant home,
surrounded by all the comforts of life; yet the
order was imperative, and he had to rush
about with unusual alacrity in order to secure
the necessary arrangements for his departure.
The New York Herald men have so often and
unexpectedly been shaken up that things have
come to such pass that they expect "every
minute will be their next

TREATMENT OF OUR RED WARDS.

A great national party in power has
more important work to perform than
simply to administer the affairs of the Gov
eminent. 4 political organization passing
through q term of years, accomplishing
nothing save the routine business which
must necessarily devolve upon it, may do
that work well, and yet have nothing at
which it can point the fnge- Of pride, and
saw, Behold the result of our supremacy"
Great accomplishments things that help
make history-are the achievements which
place administrations above the level of
those which merely discharge the func-
tional duties pertaining to the government
of our national affairs. An administration
trought with policies which tend to ad-
vance the best interests of the country,
gives to the party organization in power a
record which is appreciated and approved
by the people in such manner as to win
their confidence and esteem, thus securing
a perpetuation of that party, notwithstand-
ing the violent and bitter onslaught of those
who seem envious of IFS popularity.
The lustre of party Will last
so long as is achievements endure,
and an organization that can win
the respect of the masses through wise
and consistent policies win never want for
the support Of all high-minded and patriotic
citizens. Through the influence of deeds
that bear in their accomplishment the fruits
that are harbingers of prosperity and the
direct results of good government are those
which make an administration respected
and country great.
There is no one policy of the present
Executive which has tended SO much to
secure these ends as his solution of the
Indian question, which has challenged the
admiration of the world and received the
unrestrained support of the people. To
Christianize wild, barbaric people. whose
customs and habits directly antagonize with
the fundamental principles of Christianity,
seems at first consideration to be beyond the
possibility ofany human scheme. In the word
Christianize, Of course, is embodied civili-
zation and the ultimate elevation of the race
to such standard of existence as will pre-
pare them for the responsibilities and
privileges of citizenship. Many sage
philosophers and statesmen who have given
much attention to the Indian question often
uruuounced the impracticability of ever
bringing this nomadic race into state Of
civilization that would sanction the bestow.
