The Life Of . Savage.

In another part Of the HERALD an umcouth
drawing of two Indians on horseback, one
armed with gun, the other with lance,
and the efigy Of white man before the
horse, will awaken the curiosity of our read
ers until they have read the accompanying
explanation. 1t is the story of the killing
of soldier by Sitting Bull. The book from
which this is taken contains ffty-fve SINH
lar drawings each recounting some
deed of bloodshed, cruelty, theft
or inhumanity. These make up the
life of the model savage whom
our philanthropists love to feed, the child
of nature whom the Indian Ring is never
weary of praising and swindling. 1t adds a
pang to the bitterness of the death of the
gallant Custer and his heroic command that
they fell at the hands Of such a savage, in
whom everything that is cruel and vicious
is matter of ostentation and pride. The
picture tells the story of the Irreconcilables
of the frontier in its few rude touches
Contact with civilization can only
come to them at the mouth of the musket.
However they may come to the agencies to
be fed, to get blankets, their hearts are only
thrilled with JOY at tales of blood. From
the lancing of a Crow squaw to the scalping
of soldier, whatever is cruel becomes brave
in their eyes. No record is made of the
kindly or the good it is only the base or
the brutal that they think worthy of telling
Such are the wild, uniformed. beings, great
only in rascality, whom We are called
upon to reduce in their mountain fast
nesses, or it may be to exterminate.
There is nothing Arcadian in their
savagery. What they have learned of civil
ization is better how to kill. There is no
room here for discussing whether the rough
shod march Of our civilization has not made
a race of simple savages race of savage
demons but we do know that in number
less instances they have opposed stolid
scorn to efforts at their advancement, and,
rejecting the ways of civilization, have
turned again and again to the wild. rather
than, as General Sherman said the other day
at West Point, 'earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow

The NEGROES AND THE WHITES are having
another eme,ae in the South, this time at
Hamburg. opposite Atlanta. Ga 1t seems a
silly thing to drag lot of negroes before a
court for obstructing the roads when they
were merely playing soldier on the Fourth
of July, and it is thoroughly reprehensible
that armed whites should support unasked
the power Of the magistrate while the cause
was on trial. The negroes cannot be justi-
fed in their petty warfare any more than
the whites: but the affair seems to indicate
that in parts of the South there is one line

The centennial anniversary having passed
the pastors have come down to little things,
such as walking with Christ, about which
Mr. Rowell will have some thoughts to offer;
and the finishing of salvation, or the immor-

exists between Gods ways and our ways.
The proposition of Mr.. Leavell, that death is
preferable to birth, is true, if at all, only in
limited sense, and only of one class of the
living or the dead. For thousands if not
millions of our race, it is much preferable to
bear the ills they have than fly to others
that they know not Of The most precious
thing on earth is life, and unless
there be compensation therefor in the un-
seen world, life here, including birth, its
beginning, is preferable to death. its ending
here. But life and death may equally show
the goodness and severity of God. The
claims Of Jesus as the Jews Messiah will be
presented by Mr.. Harris, and the triumph Of
faith, from glory to glory, by Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Johns will call on the goldsmiths and
apothecaries and their sons to rise up and

put on the breastplate of faith and love,
and for a helmet the hope of salvation, and
to keep sober and watchful while they work
for God. Bishop Snow has made remarka-

GENERAL HAwLEY AND THE SUNDAY QuKs-
rIoN.-It is now settled that the Centennial
Exhibition is not to be opened on Sundays,
and that many thousands of people are to be
thus deprived of profting by the splendid
display The Commissioners and General
Joseph Hawley especially are responsible
for this mistake. General Hawley rested his
opposition to opening the Exhibition upon
grounds of religion. He believed Sin the
old-fashioned way of stopping on Saturday
night and waiting till Monday morning, and
this had been established by all our laws
and the usages of the people. He would
hold to the traditional observance of the
Sabbath, regarding the matter as one of over
whelming importance to the character of the
people" We should like to ask General
Hawley if he has not sanctioned the visits of
Dom Pedro and Prince Oscar and their COM
panions to the Exhibition on Sundays, and
by what principle of right or religion he
grants privileges to foreign monarchs that
he refuses to American citizens?

A Lesson for tho Time.

The story which we print this morning of
the reading of the Declaration of Independ-
ence to the American army in this city one
hundred years ago is not alone interesting
as an epitome of history appropriate to this
anniversary, but it is replete with one of the
highest lessons which history teaches. At
that day every American by birth was not
an American in feeling, and sectional
jealousies were as bitter and sectional
chickering's as loud as they have
been at any time since. The gay
Pennsylvania contemned the psalm
singing New Englander and Smallwoods
maccaroni battalion scoffed ut the homespun
garb of the Yankee ploughboys. In this
city, too, wealth and fashion and beauty in
clined toward royalty, and loyalty to the
crown was even more common than loyalty
to freedom. The publication of the Dec
laration Of Independence, instead of inspir-
ing the people with the spirit of nationality,
decided many of the wavering in favor of
the royal cause, and sent many recruits to
the King. What mattered the enthusiasm of
the few hot-headed lads who des royed the
Kings statue in the Bowling Green, when
the fat of independence called hundreds
of ''cow boys" into existence and gave them
the proud Delaney as their chief? The
immediate effect of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence was hurtful, and in the hurt it
wrought to the cause of which it was the
exponent is lesson we can learn with
profit. The mistake of this age is to under
value itself, its integrity, its worth and its
patriotism, while it overvalues the past. We
have no disposition to underestimate
either the achievements or the patriot
ism Of the Revolutionary epoch, but if
the divided sentiments of the people, the
treason in many American households, the
feverish and anxious watching for the enemy
to bid him welcome, the frequent betrayals
of trust and duty and country, the intem-
perate chickering's in camp and council, the
thousand and one weaknesses which marked
this day one hundred years ago, have any
meaning, any lesson for us, it is that we
have not lost ground since the time of our
Revolutionary fathers, have not grown worse,
or less patriotic, than they, and that liberty
is as safe in our hands as it was in theirs.

The Results OF tho Battles with
the Sioux.


The loss of life in the two battles with
the Sioux, great as it has been, is not by any
means the greatest we may have to count.
The effect upon the Indians themselves is
far more dangerous; not only on the Sioux
nation elated with their victories, but on all
the tribes in the vicinity of the field Of
operations Already we are told that the
Indians at the Berthold Agency are becom-
ing restive. We have seen the Crows leave
General Crook because the fight with their
hereditary enemies was not victory.
When they learn, as they soon will, of the
destruction of Custer, the defeat Of Reno and
the retreat of Terry and Gibbon to
the Yellowstone, even they may doubt
whether success may not lie in q
war on the pale faces rather than upon their
red enemies. The Grows are just as savage
as the Sioux; the Mandans and Gros Ventres
have very bad records, and if they are led to
believe that the power of the white man is
on the wane the frontier settlements are
likely to suffer in a degree we can only
fancy now by multiplying by hun

ture and murder which have come
to us from time to time from the sparsely
settled lands of the Far West. An alarming
point in connection with the recent battles
is the reported appearance of several white
desperadoes directing the attacks of the
Sioux. Outlaws and criminals of the
worst stamp, which even the border
towns, with their large numbers of
desperate characters, have been too
hot to hold, they are just in the position to
do most damage, not merely from their
superior knowledge of the tactics of the
soldiers, but from the effect their crying
down of the strength of the whites would
have on Indians wavering between reserva-
ton beef and blankets and the prospect
of a scalping party on large scale. They
can tell the young 'bucks" that Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail and the chiefs who
have been East and touched the strength of
civilization are liars bribed with few pres
ents 1t will be some time before another
advance can be made but when our troops
do move the conditions of sweeping VIC
tory should be assured. Therefore, we say
that merely "enough" troops should not be
the motto Of the future.

THE LABOR QUESTION IN ENGLAND has
again become one of serious importance.

determined upon. Whether such reductions
are justifable or not their effects cannot fail

The condition Of English operatives is not a

condition of things in England.

The Turkish War.

The Servians have sustained another check
from the Turks, this time on the southwest,
toward Montenegro; the other, which was
more of defeat taking place on the
northeast or Bulgarian side. On the
latter side the campaign is more defen.
sive in character than in Bosnia, where
the Servians must advance or fail.
Mahemet Ali, with twelve thousand Turks,
has stopped the advance of the Ser
Wan general, Zachs, with force of
fifteen thousand, and driven him to his
intrenchments. 1t was plainly the idea Of
the Servians to seize the high road at Sienitza
to stop the supplies, and, holding the coun-
try from Servia to Montenegro, cut the
Turkish forces in two. The Importance
of the action at Sienitza can only be
judged by the ability of the Turks to follow
it up or the Servians to recover their ground.
The entire Servian plan of campaign has not
been developed yet, but unless they can
post strong force in Novi Bazaar, which is
the neck, as it were, connecting Bosnia and
Herzegovina with the rest of Turkey in
Europe, they cannot expect to choke the
Moslem they have attempted to throttle.
From Belina, near the Servian line, to the
Montenegrin' frontier is about fifty miles in
direct line, and on that line we may ex.
pect the most stubborn battles to be fought.
The fights so far have been struggles for
position,

The MosT DARING RAILROAD ROBBERY on

little after ten o'clock, on the Missouri

it appears that the whole affair was dcliber-

The few laboring men whoare able, through

an average, number more than 4,5O0 all

the aggregate interests of the laboring classes

time that the professional politicians, their
followers, dependents and retainers, who
live upon the peoples money, should under
stand that they must step down and out.
The laboring man, the mechanic, taxpayer
and merchant should have in reality as well
as theory, something to say concerning the
selection of their rulers.
The number of city employees could, with
great advantage to the public service. be re-
duced one-third, and the pay of those who
remain should be cut down at least fifteen
per cent. While all salaries have been gradu-
ally declining during the last three years why
should city officials constitute privileged

any reduction has taken place in the salaries
of city employees it has not been in unison with
the decline established in banks, insurance
