ARMING THE INDIANS.

The orders issued on Tuesday by the
President prohibiting the sale of arms
and ammunition to hostile Indians is
one which should have been issued years
ago. Had it been issued and strictly
enforced, the nation would have had
fewer massacres to mourn over and
less money to pay for carrying on In
dian wars. Whenever our troops have
come into conflict with the Indians,
they have found them armed with the
most approved weapons, and fully as
we'll supplied with ammunition as they
were themselves. Army officers have
repeatedly called attention to this traf-
tic and protested against it, but there
has never been any efficient means adop-
ted to prevent it. The present order of
the President will not do it, unless
authority be conferred upon army Off
GERS to enforce it. But the order. to be
effective, should go further, and author
ize army officers and government agents
to take away from all Indians all wea-
pons except such as are necessary for
killing game Breech loading rifles are
not necessary for hunting purposes, and
ordinary shot guns are far more servic-
cable in obtaining game than the rifles
More Indians subsist on birds and
small animals, obtained by means of
traps or shot guns, than get a living by
hunting buffalo or large game. There is
no necessity whatever for their having
rifles, and all such in their possession
should lie confiscated This would he
a short and summary way ofpreventing
Indian outbreaks in the future.

GUS occurrences of the recent riots took
place in Pennsylvania and no State in
the Union has larger proportion of the
classes among whom the disorderly
strikers We're recruited The means of
dealing with difficulties of this character
have always been exceedingly defective
in the State, as the growth and violence
of the Molly Maquires' organization
sufficiently prove, 1t would be great
misfortune if either of the political par
ties should adopt demagogic tone on
this important subject. For once, we
hope that the Democrats of Pennsylva-
MIA will follow temperate and honest
counsels in dealing with the labor ques-
ton.

THE TRAMP PROBLEM.

" sources of pauperism, and compre-

"it, the more incurable it appeared"
The unwilingness of the pauperzed

prevailed among them, their DISPOSE

were employed for their help into

roaring lion at Washington when peace

lamb in Indiana when a riot seemed
imminent In sooth, no bellwether, while
bloody ours pressed hard upon the fold,
ever uttered bleating more mournful
than his beseeching Uncle Samuel's
helping hand. No man had more vio-
lenty denounced the use of Federal
troops in quelling disturbances in the
South than he. No man had more elo-
quently dilated upon the beauties of
State sovereignty, and opposed more
persistently the maintenance of our ma
tional army His vote Withholding ap-
preparations for our national troops did

others he had cast pressed in one He
was particularly constitutional on this
subject of calling for Federal troops. and
when calls were made upon Gen Grant
in the prescribed methods, he bitterly
denounced such State uses of the Fed

But when local disorder threatens him,
as it had with a hundred-fod more
force threatened other Governors in the
South with memory conveniently

Jeans we'll illustrates the difference be-

upon this question, and seemingly has
abandoned all his former theories so
ardently advocated in Congress. When
Democratic Governors are menaced with

can order Federal troops to quell vio-

OF New York City. Although the force
of DIR. Hollands conclusions NAV not
be so fully appreciated in community
like our own, for the simple reason that
professional beggars from so small
portion of our resident population vet
the experience of every housekeeper of
that nomadic type of the professional
pauper, the tramp" recalls sufficiently
the truth Of the statements recited. The
marauding army of invaders that now
infests every community has long since
overtaxed the charitable impulses and
generous practices of the average house
keeper. The Christian maxim, "not to
turn the beggar empty handed from thy
door," seems no longer to enforce the
obligation of almsgiving to subjects, to
say the least of doubtful claims to char
ity The plea for relief has apparently
ceased to be the call of the unfortunate
and poverty-stricken brother, but the
importunate and offensive demand of
the labor-hating and vagabondish men
dicant. Charity once BEGAN, but now
seems to END at home Confidence has
been shaken, and society generally
seems disposed to resent the regularly
recurring appeals for help and to
assert its rights for protection against
systematic begging, which has long
since assumed the proportions of
gigantic public nuisance. To this end,
municipal authority is invoked, and the
philosophic and philanthropic city faith
ers puzzle their brains in devisng a
solution of "The Tramp Problem. y
How can he be utilized? how got rid
Of? Elkton did not recently mourn the
loss of portion of its transient popu-

and must be fed at some ones expense,
at least while sojourning in our midst.
Affectionately, but decidedly, we appeal
to our corporate authorities to organize
such local system as will speed the part
ing, rather than welcome the coming

of society for personal and property
rights against public nuisance, hui

sitous cases may deserve For all other
