Indian Troubles In Colorado.

Since the Utes under Chavano, Piah
and Washington left Denver a short
time ago, reports have come back that
they have grown in ugliness as the dis
lance between them and Denver in
creased. On Saturday johnson Turner.
of Junction Ranch, Middle Park, tele-
graphed Gov. Routt that Washington's
band of Utes had taken possession Of
his place, and called for help. He was
instructed to apply to the sheriff of the
county, and did SO. To-day, E. Marker,
sheriff of Grand county, telegraphed
that he visited Junction Ranch in force
and ordered the Indians away. The
Indians refused to go, and in a skirmish
which followed, one Of the sheriff's
posse shot an Indian, killing him. The
Indians at once started for their agency
for reinforcements. The sheriff has
ordered the women and children out Of
the park, and telegraphs for more as
sistance. In the absence of the COVER
nor, who started yesterday for Kansas
City to meet Mrs. Routt on her return
from the East, Secretary Clark, .Attor-
ney General Sampson, Adjutant Cen
eral Roe and Major General d. j.
Cook held a consultation at the execu-
tive rooms this morning, to consider
the situation. AS a result Of that con-
ference, Gen. Cook went to Georgetown
to-day, and will telegraph whatever
orders are necessary. In the mean
while, the militia and battery are held
in readiness for immediate service. It
is thought, however, that the disturb
ance will not be very serious. This
band of Utes is the one that the cattle
men believe killed McLane, and are
recognized as among the most turbu-
lent of the tribe. But from the fact
that they were cool enough to go for
reinforcements when one of their men
was killed in the skirmisli yesterday, it
is thought that they will keep out OF
danger with c~ommendable discretion

In the popular art of boat racing there are
several recognized if not cultivated strokes.
There are at least the English stroke, the
American stroke and the 'tgit thar" stroke.
For both the former much is said reason
ably on the score Of their adaptation to GER
tain OCCASIONS and they are the results of
experience. For the ''git thar" stroke not
a word is said by anybody except that it
s'gits thar" But if it unfortunately fails
in that respect, if it distinctly and brill
iantly does not 'git thar" then the one
reason in its favor disappears. If man
has q balloon that is good for everything else
in the world but going up in the air, or u bell
which, however excellent in other respects,
will not ring, he is fitted for the company Of
boatmen possessed of 'git thar" stroke
which gets somewhere else. But if the man
had made his own bell or his own balloon,
and made them in defiance Of all recog-
nized principles, the failure would not
be without its lesson for other adventurous
people with an extreme faith in themselves.
Neither is the failure of the ''git thar"
stroke and the Shoe-wae-cae-mette crew.
IneSc men on tnelr return from England
complain somewhat-not of their failure. Of
course, but of the treatment they received
abroad and of the want of sympathy with
them. But they went out in a bumptious
style, which challenged hostility, and
the characteristic feature of their de-
meanor has been an unnecessary and
extravagant assertion Of self-sufficiency.
which might have had its justifca-
ton if they had won, but could not be JUS
tilted in any other contingency-andt then
they did not win. They crowed because
they were SO sure, and then proved that
there was no good reason for their conf
denoe. Now, it is not polite to crow i'm
moderately, but to crow immoderately and
then fail is ridiculous.

The voyage of the little boat, the Maui
titus, to Europe, after q passage OF forty
five days, shows how herosm merges into
folly. Our special cable dispatches de-
scribe the terrors of that trip by
the Andrews brothers, and one cannot
help being moved to something akin
to admiration of their indomitable perse-
verance as we read of the broken chronom-
eter, the long days and nights of fog and
storm without o glimpse of the sun, the
great shoals of whales, one flip of whose
tails would have shivered the tiny craft to
splinters. Yet when we remember that all
this was not endured because it was forced
upon them, but was deliberately risked tor
the sake of q little glory and distant phan-
tom Of profit, our admiration cools. The
performance of half the journey as the re-
suit of shipwreck or to escape to civiliza-
ton from lonely island would move men
more than q journey of twice the
breadth of the Atlantic under the circum-
stances of the voyage of the Nautilus. This
accounts for the disappointment that has
hitherto overtaken the heroes of these nine
teen-foot wherry journeys. which recall the
queer feat proposed for herself by one of
the weird sisters in ''Macbeth," when the
sailors wife refused her the chestnuts -
Her husbands to Aiepps gone. master o. the Tiger:
But In u sieve I'll thither sail,
And, like q rat without q tail.
TH do, III do ana III do.
Let us not, at the same time, sheer at the
adventurous spirit which led William and
Walter Andrews or Captain Grape and his wife
out upon their foolhardy enterprises. They
were undertaken out of their time but on
fit occasion the same spirit might save ma
ton instead of helping to show how small
q boat can travel three thousand miles Of the
toughest water known to sailors.

It is curious that while labor and capital
in the large business centres of the country
are discussing with bitterness their respec-
tive rights and privileges we should all at
once have our attention called to q small
war between landlord and tenant in the
Mohawk Valley which appears to have been
waging for five years past. 1t is the remnant
of an old and fast vanishing state of affairs.
The descendant Of an English patentee
owns no less than twenty-five thousand
acres of land in that portion of the State,
which he lets on lease As the old leases
come in, the PATRON, as Mr.. Clarke is called,
raises the rent, and those who cannot or
will not pay are turned adrift by ejectment
process, with apparently IS much precision
as in the most favored districts of Ireland,
such as those over which the late Lord Lei
trim ruled. The tenants have, it is charged,
combined to prevent the reletting of these
holdings and incendiarism on large scale
is alleged to be q portion Of their terroriz-
ing policy. This recalls the anti-rent
troubles that tbirty-fve to forty years ago
disturbed the counties of Albany, Rens-
ScldeI, DuICueSb, DclaWuIc, Ouduebuquos
Genesee, and, indeed, wherever the great
land grants of the Dutch PATRONS or Eng
lish patentees remained together after the
Revolution. The truth is that in coun-
try like America, where so much Of the
land is held in fee simple no
system of leaseholds can be made popular,
and the point at which landed estates be-
come too cumbrous for the management Of
a, single head is quickly reached. The
chronic land hunger which makes men
holding enormous quantities of land swal-
low all they can grasp and leaves them still
voracious for more soon leads to financial
Indigestion. The1owner cannot himself Gull
tivate NIL he owns, or, if he tries,
he fails to extract the full profit. He
will not sell, for he loves his power, and
such disgraceful outrages as Mr.. Clarke
complains of result from his endeavors to
squeeze high rental from the struggling
farmers. The problem is difficult one,
and must be left to time more than the law
for settlement. At any rate, incendiarism
should be severely punished.

The WEATHER.-1he depression that was in
the Northwest ON Wednesday has moved slowly
to the southeastward, and now lies over the lake
region and the southwestern section of the St.
Lawrence Valley. The pressure continues con-
silerably below the mean in the districts north
VI the Ohio Valley and from the Missouri River
to the Atlantic. The high pressure on the South
Atlantic coast is gradually extending itself in
n northerly aud westerly direction as the
disturbance in the north moves eastward
Steep gradients are likely to be de-
veoped in the Middle Atlantic and New
England coast districts and also in the Ohio
Valley. Brisk to strong winds will probably
prevail in those sections and possibly thunder
storms in the latter district. Rain has fallen in
all the districts with the exception of the South
Atlantic coast aud the Northwest. During yes
terday two local disturbances passed over the
central portion of the Middle Atlantic States.
They were attended by thunder and lightning
aud copious rains. The winds have been
brisk in the lake region and fresh ON the
Middle Atlantic coast Elsewhere they
have been generally light. The temperature
has fallen slightly in the West and the Eastern
Gulf States. 1t has risen elsewhere. The Their
morneter is highest in the Lower Mississippi and
part Of the Ohio Valley districts The weather
In New York and its vicinity to-day will be
warmer and partly cloudy or cloudy, probably
with occasional rains. Tomorrow it will he cool
aud fair or partly cloudy, possibly with light
showers.

In Search OF X nOwled e.

Mr.. Hewitt's Congressional Committee,
appointed to inquire into the labor ques-
ton with q view to the suggestion of meas
ures for the relief of the existing troubles,
assembled in the Post Office building yes
terday. Appropriately enough the COM
mittee went at once into executive session
on the important subject Of it's own re-
Enumeration, the members being evidently
resolved TO establish, as preliminary step
in their work. the principle that the laborer
is worthy Of his hire Congress failed to
make an appropriation for the committees
expenses, but as business was commenced
after the secret session We presume that it
was decided to proceed with the work and
trust to the liberality of the next session of
Congress. One Of the members of the
committee, Representative from Ohio, no.
tilted his associates of his inability to serve
until after the election in that State, nm in
dication that he regards his own return to
Congress as Of little more Importance to
the country than the business in which the
committee is engaged.
We have not much faith in Congressional
inquiries of this character, as they are
usually designed to effect some political
object. Whether Mr.. Hewitts committee
will prove different to the many that have
preceded it is question which time alone
can settle. The first witnesses volunteering
to give testimony were a stone mason and
jeweller, the object Of the former being
to convince the committee that if barge
Office is to be built in this city the stone
ought to be cut here by "home mechanics.
Very probably the representatives Of oil the
trades will make similar demands for the
benefit of their own particular callings. A
delegate from the "social democrats" and
Mr.. Justus Schwab, the irrepressible Com
munist, signified their intention to appear
before the committee tomorrow. While
all sides have q right to be heard it is to be
hoped that Mr. Hewitt will make his inquiry
thorough and exhaustive, and not merely
use the committee for the purpose of affecting
sympathy with the laboring classes whose
sufferings in period of general business de-
preston have doubtless been severe. All the
interests involved should be given an OPP
