of ten per cent. reduction in the
salaries of all employees, to take effect
July LIST, and there has been a good
deal of talk Of strikes among differ
emit classes Of the employees. The
Elko Independent understands that
the company have "reconsidered the
matter of the proposed reduction OF
employees wages, opposition to the
measure having been expressed by
some of the members of the Board Of
Directors, 1t was abandoned" We
do not accept this as the true cause
of the reconsideration. The certainty
of strike of the engineers, if the
reduction had been persisted in, is
the probable cause of the "opposi-
ton" of some of the Directors.

INCOMPETENT HOWARD.

General Howard had warnings on
various occasions of the existence of
disaffection and dlsloyalty on the part
of the Inlians who instigated the
recent outbreak, says the Owyhe Ava
lanche 1t was his duty to take such
precautionary steps as would to some
extent avert the slaughter that has
occurred. Not having done this he
has, by lnefficiency and lack of fore
sight, proved himself to he the wrong
man for the crisis. To fight the devil
successfully the weapons Of hell have
to be used, and it is well known that
the temporizing policy fostered and
encouraged by General Howard has
caused these Indians to assume bold
and defiant attitude. They never
would have dared to murder the
whites If the department commander
had the iron will and determination
of Crook, and it is just such a reso-
lutte policy as this that must be prac-
ticed on all occasions if savages with
murder In their hearts are ever going
to be subdued. 1t is only men who
know something about the dangers
of frontier lite and the instincts of
the brutal savage that are capable of
dealing with the Indians, and General
Howard has furnished the best of
evidence that he is not the man to
conduc, an Indian campaign to
successful issue. His appointment to
the command of this department was
a mistake in the first place and ought
to be remedied without delay.

RUNK, the slayer of officer Coots
in San Frncisco, has been convicted
of murder in the first degree, and will
be sentenced on Saturday next to die
ON the gallows. No other verdict
could possibly have been given, and
the public, we apprehend, will not
lift a finger to avert the young mans
doom. Ii ever a cold blooded atrocity
merited the doom Of the gallows for
the perpetrat"r, it is the crime of
Rupk and the whole community re-
gard the prompt verdict of the jury
with but one opinion.

THE IDAHO WAR.

The hostile Indians were defeated
BY General Howard in a seven
hours engag ment on the 18th
instant. The Indians, 300 in num-
Der, occupied strong position in
Deep canyon. near the mouth OF
Cottonwood, on the South Fork of
Clearwater. The loss on Joseph's
side was thirteen killed and large
number wounded, and much plum
der was left in his camp, which
they abandoned in great haste. In
a report to the War Department
General Howard says eleven men
we're killed and twenty-four wound
ed, including Captain Bancroft and
Lieutenant Williams. The troops
fought bravely, not man failing
in duty. The Indians fled across
Camas prairie in the direction OF
Snake river, and Howard was con-
centrating his troops at Mount
Idaho.
Colonel Green is at the head of
Weiser valley, on the South side Of
Salmon river, with six companies
of cavalry and five OF infantry,
ready to cooperate with General
Towards force on the north side.
Colonel Green's command is COM
posed OF troops forwarded from
san Francisco via Winnemucca to
Boise City and others collected from
the frontier posts. He also has a
company of Indian scouts enlisted
from the Shoshone and Bannock
tribes, and twenty-three of these
Indians have been engaged as
troops.
General Mcdowell has, been au-
thorized to fill up his regiments to
the full standard, by which his eff
fective force can be nearly doubled.
These enlistments are for the pres
ent Indian war, and the men are TO
be discharged when peace is re.
stored. we believe, We learn from
the Boise City Statesman that Col.
Green offers to let volunteers keep
all stock they capture from the
Indians except such as may have
been taken from the whites, W 1ich
must be returned to the proper
owners if possible.
An additional regiment of troops
are en- route to this coast from the
East. and altogether it seems prob
able that Joseph and his 300 hos
tiles will soon be overwhelmed and
crushed by superior force.
