An Amateur Political Economist.

Times are hard" sighed splritless
looking man, as he sat down on a dry
goods box on State street.
They may talk about resuming SpeL
Gle payment, and they may send out
small silver by the cart-load, but they
can't resume.n

Our Indian Policy.

We think we speak the judgment of
the best men of all parties, when we
say that no feature of the Presidents
policy has given such proofs of its
wisdom and Christian sense as has his
management of the Indians. The new
system inaugurated by President
Grant has been long enough tried to
show that it is not only righteous, but
that it is safest and best. 1t has been
subjected to unforeseen trials; circum-
stances have arisen which furnished
favorable opportunity to its enemies to
prove its wo-thlessness. And yet this
system by its abundant fruits is already
vindicating itself as not only eminent
ly just and humane in respect to the
Indians, but rs supremacy wise and
safe rs respects the fr0ntiersmen. The
report of the Peace Commissioners,
which has just been submitted 10 the
President puts the matter beyond all
doubt. From this report it appears
that the Indians, to a very general ex-
tent, are peaceable, that among many
tribes there is an earnest desire To pos
sess themselves of all the Appliances of
civilization. Many of them are ur-
gently asking for the schools and
churches which have been promised
them. These tribes which have been
most refractory are now DESTROYS to en-
ter into the benefit of the government
reservation and agencies. The cases
of murder and other violation of law
have been greatly lessened. The tele-
graphic reports of the hostility of the
Indians have been manufactured by
those who would be most benefited by
such an actual state of things.
1t is a fact now generally known,
that the so-called Florida war, for the
determination of the miserable Semi
noles was originated and kept in prog
ress 10y white men, to whom the expen'
ditures incident To army operations
would be sc to bring money! The
same purpose rules many of the wild,
lawless and unprincipIed men of the
western border. The system of their
operations Is plain enough. The peace
policy of the administration must be
broken up. The Indians must be pro-
voked by some white mans outrage,
into some act of retaliation or some
such act must be imputed to them
without any ground for its existence.
The air must. be filled with war and ru-
mOrs of war. A great army must be
put on the war path. That will be the
harvest season for contractors and
camp followers. We trust, however,
that the good people have seen enough
of this little game, and that however
much they may be disunited in res
pect to other measures of the govern
ment, they will stand as one man for
the maintenance of the Presidents In
dian policy Wdtchmdn and Reflector.

Is sleep Sinful!
New York Times.

The well dressed man of the world
can swindle his friends and the COM
munity, soil virtue, or outrage society
with impunity. But he can not slum-
Der in public place in town without
austere accountability. The guardians
of the municipal peace, who would not
lay finger on him for manifold crimes
will hustle him should he have the te-
merity to browse. Whence it follows,
does it not, that an approach to sleep
is judged to be more wicked than any
dishonesty or debauchery? The pro-
fessional thief may ply his trade for
years uninterrupted. but he must not
close his eyes where ne can be seen, If
he would avoid serious Inconvenience.
Society says to him, You may rob pri-
vately, though you must not sleep pub
licly on pain of apprehension. We
extend to You the protection of. our lax
ity; but nod at your peril. The poor
outcast who has no spot in all the
world he can call his own, is driven off
roughly If he try to catch thirty winks
on the curb or in a seductive stairway.
There WAS truth and pathos in the
words of dying loafer who said: II
don't know nothin bout heav'n, but |
hope it's place where they'll let "A fell
er sleep"
How is it with the best of us? Do
we ever admit, do we ever believe, we
have really been asleep in church, thea
ter, library, drawing room? Have we
ever been able TO find any one who
would acknowledge as much, although
he may have been performing grand
nasal solo for half an hour? We are
/ obviously ashamed of one of Nature S
| dearest boOns; we count it as an evil;
when we want to secure it, we steal off
and enjoy it, as we enjoy other delicious
vices-furtively. Unless we had a deal
of original depravity in us, should we
dOZe so Internationally over able SER
mons designed for our spiritual goodF
/ When the touching hymn, wake, sin
ner, from thy Sleep" has been sung
who has not been conscious of guilty
start? There is no rest for us, of the
stealthy sort, in this valley of woe and
wakefulness. It must be a mysterious
punishment for our forgotten trans
gressions that we cannot free ourselves
from the belief that sleep is sinful.
Sleep is necessarily blessing; but, as
at present managed, a blessing in pro-
found disguise.

Another of slippery Sans Tricks.

The Utica Herald very truly says
that during the canvass OF 1875, Mr..
Tilden's Canal Commission abused the
courtesy of the Associated Press 10y re-
ports designed for partisan purpose
and adjusted in time and method to ef-
feet the election. And not only Mr..
Tilden's Canal Commission but Mr..
Tilden himself. He craftily succeeded
in making the Associated Press ten
der to his personal purposes. He
palmed off as news just such Dispatch
es as suited his designs, and
the press paid for his cleo
pioneering while the people were con-
stantly imposed upon. The Herald
adds: THE same trick will not work
again. Since the last election Tilden
has not attempted to do anything in
this canal crusade. Notice is served
that he is going to begin again. He
will not be suffered again 10 prostitute
the Associated Press to his ambition.
His articles will be exposed, and his
compromises with offenders, and his
extortion of political blackmail will he
brought home to his door. He may as
well learn first as last that now he is
on trial himself.
We indorse these words and empha-
size this warning. Friends of Mr. Til
den have boosted that he is the first
man who ever succeeded in controlling
and managing the Associated Press as
political engine for his own ends. 1t
Is time the members association put
stop to this cunning but disreputable
game. The New City papers should un-
derstand that their privileges and hos
pitality lave been invaded quite as
much as those of the State Association,
and that they owe it to themselves to
arrest the abuse. They want the legit-
mate news, but they do not want po-
litical trickster to use their dispatches
as cover for his own political designs.
Mr.. TIlden has been i'm the habit of
sending sucE dispatches as he pleased
without passing through the hands of
the press agent at all. Let us have
done with that species of imposition.

Looking for TrielIina.

The ladies, particularly, object to
trichina. Probably no one shows
much anxiety to come across the little
twisters in his food-but the ladies par
ticularly oppose their presence. a few
days ago a well-knOwn gentleman or
dered from bis butchers a large ham
and a piece of dried beef weighing al
most as much as the ham, and some
what similar to it in appearance. The
next day when he went home at noon
he found his wife and servant girl bust
ly engaged in the kitchen. The wife
had an Opera-glass and was inspecting
the meat.
whats up?o asked the husband.
NWell. we thought we'd have some
ham for dinner, and didn't want any
of those tri-Sarah, believe that's one
just look at it and see. Ughl It's a
nice lean ham, amt it?"
The husband leaned up against the
door-poSt and broke into tremendous
guffaw.
.'Oh. yesl That is always the way
with you men Surprising didn't look
for trichinas, and there should be some.
and we should-bah-eat I'M and die.
Guess YOU wouldn't laugh thenw
And then the husband roared the
more. He endeavored to speak-and
pointed at the meat-slapped his legs
and roared again.
''Why, William, what is the matter
with you? l don't see anything very
funny in trying to prevent harm. Why
yesterday read about family down
in Missouri somewheret hat-why, vii
liam-say, don't you want somebody t.
help you laugh?"
By this time the husband had gained
control of himself sufficiently to picl
up the meat and hold it before hi:
-wife's eyes. '.Beefl'' he said, ''ha-hs
dried beef-better get telescope-oh
myln
Actually. she had been examining +;
piece of dried beef with an opera-glasS
trying to find trichina. She didn't sal
much when her husband asked her how
long she had been keeping house, bu
she put the glass back and told Sarai
perhaps she had better go and get TIN
ham, now, and they'd have some TO
dinner, ''when people who know 5,

A Chectaw Wedding.


tnryenhe ~ Jumlh8i teaief
On the day appointed for the wedding
the bridegroom arrives on pony and
leading another that has side-saddle
for the bride. On arriving at tine
house, without dismoupting, he fastens
her pony to the fence, and then rides
off short distance in the direction
they are to go. Presently she steps out
dressed in the height of fashion-a new
calico dress, white pocket-handBer-
chief around the mech, a large red one
tied over her head and ears, and pair
of new shoes across her arms
which she puts on just before reaching
the persons. As soon as she mounts
her pony the man starts on and she fol-
lows from fifty to 200 yards behind
On arriving at the parsonage he gets off
his horse, goes into the house and
makes his business known. BY this
time the lady arrives, dismounts,
secures her horse and goes to the house,
leans herself ON the side of it near the
door and patiently waits until some one
discovers her and bids her enter. All
things being in readiness the minister,
who is usually , white missionary, uo-
lions the couple to stand up, and per-
forms the ceremony in English, which
is about as ineligible to them as
Greek. But when the minister stops
talking they depart, leaving the poor
clergyman without fee or thanks.
They usually go to the husbands pa
rents and stay about a year before at
tempting the arduous duties of house
keeping" After getting married
Choctaw does as they do in Chicago,
that is, if he doesn't like the squaw, he
gets divorce, which is granted on the
most frivolous pretext.

Beating Carpets.

There is one thing onfwhich hus-
band and wife never have and never
can agree, and that is on what consti-
tutes well-beaten carpet When the
article is clean it's mans impression
that it should be removed, and he be al
lowed to wash up and quietly retire
But woman's appetite for carpet bea-
ting is never appeased while man has
a whole muscle in his body. And if he
waited until she voluntarily gave the
signal to stop he might beat away UNI
til he dropped down dead. 1t is direct
ly owing TO his superior strength of
MUD that the civilized world is not a
widow to-day.

1t is the manly, frank, and explicit
declaration of a sincere and able man.
If there are any who have had doubts
as to Gen. Hayes possession of the pro-
nounced characteristic required in the
leader of the Republican party at this
juncture, this letter ought to go far to
cause them to dismiss such doubts.

1t has the sterling characteristics ex-
pected by those who know him well,
and will give the strongest assurance to
the nation that he clearly comprehends
the demands of the hour, and that he
has calm, intelligent, resolute pur-
pose to carry out these demands in the
high office for which he is named.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-08-03

We have never for moment feared
that Governor Hayes would injure him
self or his party by anything he might
say or write. As political leader he
has few superiors. IL has been said of
him by an opposition journal that a
better tactician never led a party in a
political contest. and the brilliant sue
cesses he has achieved vindicate the as
sertion.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-08-03

The entire letter is admirable in con-
ception and satisfactory in expression.
1t shows that he comprehends not only
the political but the party situation full
ly, and is ready to do everything in his
power to meet them both.

His views upon the appointing pow
er of the President and civil service re-
form will meet the approval of every
true patriot. He declares himself
squarely in favor of the one-term prin-
ciple, and states it to be his inflexible
purpose if elected never to be a candi-
date for reelection for second term.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-08-03

1t is a fair, discreet document, and
shows that the Governor is well advised.
In this letter the Goyernortakes positive
ground on civil service-meaning per-
manence in office and nOn-interference
of Congressman in patronage, which is
the only way in which there can be civ
il service.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-08-03

To the citizens who look TO the presi-
Dental election as the means of secur-
ing reform, this letter of General Hayes
must prove very acceptable. 1t breathes
the language of an honest, fearless
statesman, and the spirit of sincere
and earnest reformer. 1t is the best
contribution of the kind that has been
given to'our political literature for for
ty years.
