THE INDI4N,S 1HRTTTON

Civilization has many points of ambi-
tlous attainment rewards of letters,
triumphs in the forum and legislative
hall, the diplomatic bureau, etc.-but
the Indian has only one prime homer to
grasp: it is triumph in the war-path, it
is rushing upon his enemy, tearing the
scalp reeking from his head, and then
uttering his terrific war-M hoop. For this
| browning act he is permitted to mount
the honored feather of the war eagle
the king of carnivorous birds. By this
mark he is publicly known, and his hon
ors recognized by all the tribe, and by
the surrounding tribes whose customs
assimilate. When the scalp of an enemy
has been won, very great pains are taken
to exhibit it. For this purpose it is
stretched on hoop, and mounted on
pole. The inner part is painted red,
and the hair adjusted to hang in it's
natural manner. If it be the scalp of
a male, eagles feathers are attached to
denote that fact. If female, comb or

condition it is placed in the hands of an
old woman, who bears it about in the
scalp-dance, while opprobrious epithets
are uttered against the tribe from whom
it is taken. Amidst these wild rejoicings
the war-cry is vociferated, and the gen.
eral sentiment with old and young is
Thus shall it be done to our enemies
The feather of an eagle is the highest
honor that warrior can wear. When
it bears a red spot it denotes that the
warrior has killed an enemy; notch cut
in it, and The edges of the feathers
painted red, indicate that the throat of
an enemy has been cut. Small consecu-
tive notches on the front side of the
feather without paint denote that the
wearer is the third person that has
touched the dead body; both edges
notched, that he is the fourth person
that has touched it; and the feather
partly denuded, that he is the fifth per-
son that has touched the slain.

INJURIOUS.

1t is a fact that night air is not so
healthy as daylight. Infections and
miasmatic diseases are more liable to be
contracted at night than in the daytime.
Now no one ever supposes that it is Tie
air that has anything to do with causing
sickness Of persons exposed much at
night. It is not the air-the substance
which we breathe, and which supports
our life It is the absence of sunlight,
the reduction of temperature, the col
lection of carbonic acid and Other ex-
traneous gases, that cause sickness, and
this is just what the genial rays of old
Sol love to annihilate. Sunlight is
salubrious Darkness is direfuI and
disastrous.

The State where the Administration got a
hearty Endorsement makes handsome Re
publican gain over 1875, and does not fall
farther below the Republican majority in the
Presidential election than was natural. This
is the first noticeable feature of yester-
davis voting. But the State, where
the Administration was most vehcmently
criticised also does better than was expected
the adverse majority being held apparently,
within a thousand or two of what it was two
years ago. and less than half what it was last
year, in the Presidential election. That i, II
result equally noticeable, and even more sur
prising.
In 1875 the Republicans carried Massachu-
sets by 5000, and in 1876 by IL, 600. Now
they carry it by $4,000. IN 1875, the Repub-
lcans lost New-Yorl by 1880, and in 1876,
by $4,000, Now they lose it by say $4,000.
Considering that fortnight ago, Massachu-
sets was given up by many Of her own most
sagacious politicians, and that in NcwIorh
entire Indifference as 10 the result was
professed by warm but foolish friends
of the Administration, Republicans who
are more concerned for the permanent
ascendency of the party pledged to their prin-
ciples than for the success or failure of any
faction within it, have reason to regard both
results as highly satisfactory.
Pennsylvania, which was Republican 10y 49,
600 in 1875, and by $4,000 in 1876, seems to
have been lost now, because neither wing of the
party made any honest effort to carry 1t. Their

THE INTENT or THE SILVER BlLL.

The Silver Bill must be judged by its intent
as well as by its probable effect. It's real pur-
pose is to degrade the greenhack in value and
completely bar its upward course to the gold
level, and to force upon the country a cheap
currency which will enable the Government
and all private debtors to escape from the full
and honest performance OF their obligations.
When the advocates of the measure tell us
that as soon as it becomes a law silver ard
gold will find a common level, we sus-
pcct that they do not mean what they
say. We know them Of old They have
always clamored for cheap money, and it IS
only few years since they were dcnOuncing
silver and gold as twin relics of barbaIism.
At that time greenbacks were of much less
value than silver. Then they wanted nothing
but paper money, and Their fayorite cpihct
for people who favored metallic basis for the
currency was bullion mongers." They never
discovered the merits of silver until it declined
heavily in value, and until the greenback,
under the stimulus of the Resumption Act, be-
gan to climb steadily mp to the gold standard.
Ii legal tenders were now worth but 90 and
the Old silver dollar 81, instead Of the figures
being reversed, we doubt whether singl" man
of them all would trouble himself about the
reconciliation question.
So far as the silver agitation processes to be
q movement to facilitate resumption, we have
a right to look upon it as fraudulent. 1t seeks
to obtain support by false pIetences. Counting
out some Of the demagogues who think it n
popular hobby to ride, its advocates are none
of them Resnmptionists. They are tine sumo
old set, whose idea Of a financial millennium
used to be an irredeemabie paper currency

years. We make n broad distinction between
them and the Bi-metallists. The latter think
specie payments can better be sustained by
tine use of the two precious metals than by
one, but they do not imagine that paper
currency can get a firm foundation on
both silver and gold when tine unit of value
of one is worth less than the unit OF value Of
the other. Their proposition is to coin new
dollar containing sufficient silver to make 1t
equal in value to the present gold dollar, ana
thus TO start the experiment with both metals

double standard would not, however, be

is to make it lawful to discharge dollar of

THE BANKRUPT Law.

With almost every session of Congress since
the original enactment of the present bankrupt
law, propositions for abOlishing il have been
brought forward, and have been so far sue
ccssful that in one instance Il bill for that pur-
pose passed the House of Representatives.
The TRIBUNE has continuously opposed these
efforts TO repeal the bankrupt law, while con-
cedng, and at times urging, TIE need of amend
mcnts to it, most of which have been adopted.
Tie service of good bankrupt law is two
fold; fist, to the debtor, whose release from
the chains of debt is thereby made possible.
Such release restores 10 the community the
working energy of class of men who
have, in a majority of instances, been too
yentuiesome, but who are naturally men
of enterprise. Schoolcd Ivy misfortune, and
yet retaining their normal activity, such
men may become quite as valuable after
bankruptcy as before; but If they are
kept down permanently 10y their debts, 10
such advantage can accrue to them OF Others. y
good bankrupt law is, secondly, of advantage
10 creditors, since il insures the division OF re-
manning assets promptly and without favor !; it
