close or the Nez Perccs war.

The Nez Porcos war. which has been 80
brilliantly closed with the capture Of the en-
tire ban1 by Gen. Miles. is in many respects
the most extraordinary Indian campaign for
many years. The official date of the begin
ming of the campaign is June H. and it end
ed with Chief Joseph's surrender about the
3Oth of September In that period Joseph
has run the gauntlet of our troops from Ore
gon and Washington Territories across Idaho.
and thence to the extreme northerly part of
Montana. After the first outbreak of the In
dams came Norwoods fight at Camas Creek,
followed by those of Whipplo and Perry on
the Cottonwood, which lasted from the Sd to
the 9TH of July. Gen. Towards force next
fought the tribe on the Clear Water, July 13
aud II. This fight was followed by the long
chase across Idaho. Gen. Gibbons force
which was sent out TO head OFF the chief, fail
ed to strike the right place but this officer by
forced marches overhauled the Indians, and
bloody engagement took place August ., at
Big Hole. With Gen. Howard still after him.
Joseph pushed toward Canada, but was struck
by Col. Sturgis, September IL, near Yellow
stone mountain. lie eludtd Sturgs and push
ed for the Canada line, but Fortunately n
small force of United States troops under Gen.
Miles was in the vicinity Watching the move
ments of Sitting Bull He Immediately gave
his attention to Chief Joseph, and pushed the
ii"'t'i WIN bNSAl NlBpl uill hhlll tilut III
dian was forced to surrender.
In all of these encounters our troops be-
haved nobly but it must he admitted that in
every one until the last. the Indians got the
best of it, although superior numbers COMPEL
ed them to keep on retreating. The disci-
plined yalor of the troops was, according to
their own testimony, equaled if not exceeded
by the steady courage Of the Indians, who
proved themselves fully match for any civil
lzed troops in the world. while rs to the mil
itary skill displayed 10y their leaders, it was of
an order making them worthy Of high com
missions in our army. Chief Joseph and his
followers nave fought brilliant fight, and his
manner Of conducting warfare has been so
different from that of other Indians generally,
TINT h. and his people deserve the treatment
which is Il corded to honorable foes rather
than that N .rited by felons. Joseph refrain
ed from scalping, frequently released women
and children, spared wounded soldiers and
was known to LET ma1med citizens 90 un-
harmed. He was peaceful, non-treaty
chief who, after being wronged in many
ways was ordered TO II reservation where he
did not belong.

The Cause. Of the Ohio Defeat.


The returns from Ohio are sufficiently full
TO indicate the chief causes of the defeat of
the Republican party. There We're several of
them. Doubtless hostility to the coursa which
the administration is pursuing caused many
to stay at home, but the loss in the Republican
strongholds is not greater than that of Gen
eral Noyes in 1873, when he was beaten by
William Allen. The fact is the rank and file
of the Republican army in the strongholds are
irregular voters and are never ont in force in
the OF years. 1t is also probable that the
Presidents civil service order lost the party
the services of a large number of local work
ers whose places have not yet been filed UNI
der the new regime. But despite these and
like influences, the Republicans might have
pulled through, but for the Workingmen's
and other tickets. In Cincinnati the Work
ingnen's ticket polled over 5000 votes. The
Republican Germans voted it in body In
Lucas county in which is the city of Toledo,
whose Mayor sympathized with the bolster
Gus strikers, that ticket ran ahead of either of
the others. In fact, wherever the labor troub-
les were disturbing element during the re,
cent railroad suspension, there the Working
mems ticket received heavy vote, All re-
ports from Ohio agree in the statement that
at least four-iifths of the Workingmen's vote
came from the Republican party. .
More than any one cause, the twenty thou
sand votes drawn from the Republican ranks
by the Workngmen's movement, brought
about the defeat of the Republican ticket in
Ohio. There were other hostile agencies. but
Communism was the chief, and the victory is
really due TO their action whoever may claim

The French Election.

If the Republican majority is not as large
as Gambetta and some of his associates pre-
dicted it is quite sufficient to checkmatc all
the schemes Of the reactionists for the Cham
Der Of Deputies, fresh from the people, must
be taken as the immediate representatives of
the national sentiment and it will be impossi-
BILE for the coalition of HnperalistS. Mon
archists aud Clericals, to carry on the govern
ment against its opposition. The battle has
been fought under great disadvantages TO the
Republicans, for the freedom of the press has
been restrained and the right of free discus
sion denied. The President has presumed
not only to dictate. but TO threaten; but his
demands have in measure been disregarded.
and the prospect now is that he will be COM
PEELED either TO obey the popular will or re-
sign. The last horn of this dilemma, in
which he has been placed by his own unrea-
souable and arbitrary acts President Mae
Mahou viii be most reluctant 70 take; but
knowing, as he must, that the French people,
when aroused aud united have a short way OF
dealing with their oppressors. he will probably
be able TO translate ''the hand writing upon
the wall
