TO enter bail 10 the amount OF $4,000 tor

cisl presentments 10 the Criminal Court.

power to bring witnesses 10 enable them
to fully investigate q practice prevalent
in this city of little girls visiting saloons
and being drawn to the lowest depths
of deprsvity. They say that it has come
to their knowledge that men high in So
cisl positions, but of very low mors
standing, have been implicated in the
destruction of these girls characters, and
they desire that they be given an oppor-
tunity to make q thorough inquiry.

THERE is something sensible about the
intimation of the President that he wants
the Indian delegation now at Washisg-
/ ton to understand that this visit must be
the last so far as the tribes represented
by it are concerned. Every year or SO
| it has been the custom for party OF
eminent red men to descend upon
Washington ior talk with the Great
Father, and parade themselves around
the country and stop at frst.class hotels
and driak government grog until people
| in general have seen about as much OF
the untutored savage as ordinary curl
osity Graves. These visits have not been
OF so much good as the programmes
usually contem plated, and until there is
very decided reform IN Indian NOR
ais, or in white mans morals, er both,
little advantage will be derived from
these expeditions We do not think the
Great Father himself tells lies to the
child of the forest, but the child of the
forest has been outrageously lied to by
some o: those whom the Great Father
has employed In the Indian service, and
the sborigine has in turn become such
civilized and mendacious liar that he
can trim a falsehocd with all tEe modern
improvements, and feel bigger Indian
for the exploit. The more they see of
civilization as it has been practiced by
the Indian bureau, the more they like it
it seems to fit their total depravity so
perfectly.

AN idea can be had of the manner IN
which the national debt Of France is dis
tributed among the people from these
figures. The number of men in France
over q years is about 100000, and the
number of bondholders nearly 100000.
The interest they annually receive is
74S,5O4, ,97l francs, or in Federal money
equal nearly to $15O,000,OOO. If our
government were TO put out popular
loan in bonds of say S25 each, payable
in currency, undoubtedly millions OF dol
lars which new seek the savings banks
would invest IN such loan. 1t would
soon become the peoples loan, and they
would reap the double advantage OF
having their little savings safely depos-
tied, and at the same time of tightening
their own taxation.

THE arrest of General PEARSON, Of
Pittsburgh, on charge of murder, is bat
a tardy imitation of the course OF the
Scranton rioters. The latter, it will be
remembered, secured the arrest of several
members of the military company which
fired on the mob when it attacked the
mayor, but the respectable citizens came
promptly to the front and escorted them
to court, where level-headed judge at
once ordered their release on bail. In
this there is nothing alarming; it Is only
an exhibition of wrong-headedness or
thickheadedness on the part of the pros
ecution.
