How the times change and
how we change with them i! The
convention which nominated
1braham Lincoln for the pres

platform :

the States, and especially OF the
right of each State 70 order and
control its own domestic institu-
tions according to its own judg-
ment exclusively, is essential to
that balance OF power OH which
the perfection and endurance of

Says the Denver Neacs: A
new tribe of aboriginal Indians
has been disc ,vered near the
headwaters OF the Brazos who
have been so quiet that even
their existence has heretofore
been unknown to the govern
ment or any ct tie whites.
They have never asked for po-
mics or blankets Their tribe is
called the "Plato," and they
number about 500. They have
been living with the Conan
ches, and have behaved like lit
tie men. Very recently, how
ever, they have notified Colonel
Hatch that they desire to 60 to
Wescalaro agency, at Fcrt Stan
ton. They represent that they
are very poor, and that if they
are transferred it will be neces-
sary to furnish them two or
three weeks rations of beef and
a military escort. They are to
be transferred and fed.

After the high fever of excitement

After the high fever of excitement
was somewhat allayed in Pittsburg
after the great riot, it was discovered
that fifteen wounded men had actually
been burned alive in the Round
House. While the fight was going
on between the mob and the State
troops in the Round House, the latter
carried their wounded into the cellar,
where they left them as they fed be-
fore the fire 6end. The wounded
men unable to help themselves of
course soon persisted in the flames.
Let us hope that the fearful conse-
quence of the reign of terror in Pitts
burg and Baltimore will not soon be
forgotten by the American people and
that when like affair is again threat
ened, the law abiding people will
come to the front at once and nip the
illegal proceeding In the bud.-DaAs
Mouataineer.

The indifference of the public, to the char.
acter and conduct of those who make and
administer the laws. is one of the most un.
favorable symptoms of the time. Unless
there is a change for the better in this respect
the time will come, when the property of
the country will be compelled to seek shelter
from popular misrule and confiscation in the
Empire or its equivalent. The gross rob-
berry of the taxpayers of New York was per.
petrated by Tweed and his accomplices under
the forms of popular government, based upon
universal suffrage. 1t was mainly accom-.
plished by the votes of large number of in.
digent and ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS and
careless electors who voted either as they
were bought or bidden.-[Judge Deady's

The Vancouver INDEPENDENT says
the Wotchnaan gave rather rash advice
when it said to its readers: .Blaze
away" Maybe we did, but we only
wish we could reverse things little
and make the Indian fear the white
settler just as the settler fears and
has feared the Indian for years. We
always noticed that those who treat
them the best are usually the first
victims, while those who never spot
latch worth cent, but sternly tell
them to "get" when they come to
hang and loaf around their ranches,
are silently obeyed and seldom mo-
Tested. The Indians may love such
a man less, but they seem to respect
him more and give his house a good
name, hence our advice.-Wal1a Wolla
