That Very Important OMce.

The Radical Senators amended the
bill placing Gen, Shields on the retired
list, by embracing in its benefits Gen.
Grant. Placing both these gentlemen
on the retired list comes Of violent
partisan fight in the House over the
election of that wonderfully important
ofdces-A Door-keeper. The Northern
Democrats had agreed 10 allow q
Southern man 10 fill this position, and
as the Southern Democrats selected an
tx. Confederate, the Radicals raised a
great howl over Gen. Shields, a needy
Union soldier. When they could have
provided for Gen, Shields without any
trouble, they dill not care TO do IT, In
fact the President could have taken
care Of him at any time, by giving him
home one Of the many places be has
aiven 10 the Returning Board rascals,
but the Generals importance and
claims we're never recognized, until
his little Office was 10 be dlled BY q
Southern man. Then It was as
serted that the Democrats party was
committing a grea! outrage in giving
This wouderfu! position 10 rebel To
allay this hue and cry The Democrats
passed a bill IN the House - place
Gen. Shields on the retired !is'. This
was mistake. The RAd!ca! party, as
NE have shown, has control Of hum
dgels OF places better than this won

have provided for Gen. Shields long

When the Retired List Di!! came "

we hope Col. Lamar will vote for a
of them. II enough can be added II

Indian Frauds-A Model Agent.

New YORK Herald
The swindling OF the poor Indians,
ia, 1t seems, as flourithing and profita.
Bile a branch Of business on the frontier
as ever 1t was. According 10 a letter
from Helena, printed on another page,
the military authorities have discover
ed the most startling frauds upon the
unfortunate savages, and there is moth
ing in the experience Of the past TO cast
the least doubt upon the truth OF the
story. The Bannock Indians are the
victims this time. When Joseph went
into rebellion last summer and led
poor Howard over the mountains In a
vain pursuit il was feared that the
Bannocks would join him, but FORUM
Ately for the great Christian warrior q
holy and plous agent was sent to them
at the time, and they remained on their
reservation He was reverend or an
ex.revt rend gentleman, and OF course
his heart was oveTnowing with love
for the poor Indian. That was proba'
bly, the motive of his appointment. He
had not been very long at the agency,
however, when the BAnnocks mounted
their pouies and rode away from this
good man as far as they could go
Their principal ground of dlssalisiac'
tion wa' that the supplies intended fol
them we're converted to his own use
This only shows how hard 1t is 10 satil
fy the average savage. The choicG
| ruta of hoaf killed for than went N
supply the hotel Of which he was pro
prietor. Their prints, red flannel
blankets and knives he boxed up and
sent home to Wisconsin, where he pro
badly kept = dry goods store. Theil
pocket handkerchlefS, needles and cot
ton spools took the same direction
This is the latest scandalous story o.
Indian fraud on the Plains. II true
there is Q pretty strong probability tha
at least one model Indian agent will
serve term in the Penitentisry.

SOME time since we informed our
readers that in our opinion there would
be no war between Russia and Eng
land. Recent events confirm rs in the
opinion we then expressed. When the
English feet entered the Sea Of Mar
mora, aud the Russian army took up a
position IL front OF Constautlnople, the
Russians made believe they would al
once give England battle. They did
not do II then, and now a Russian
Plenipotenlisry Is on his way 10 Lon.
don to find ont what terms Of peace
between Russia, and Turkey England
will be satisfied with. GortschakoG is
sick or disgusted, and the Car is said
10 be peacefully inclined. All these
things 90 10 prove that Russia does mo-
want war, and Eugland's action from
the beginning has been that Of brave
people. She has shown oil along that
she wished 10 avoid trouble 80 long as
It could be honorably done. English
civilization, pluck and diplomacy have
gained great victory over The iyrAn's
of Europe and Asia. Thus far shalt
thou come, but no farther, aud the
Car is peacefully inclined, and only
anxious TO protect Christians.

TIE WHEAT.BELT.-The removal of
the "wheat-bel" westward is striking
ly exhibited by the trade Of Cleveland.
Only thirty,flve years ago she shipped
more wheat than any other port on the
Great LSkes, Buffalo alone excepted.
MassillOn, now scarcely known In the
wheat.trade, was the chief pOiut Of
original receipt, and received = larger
amount Of wheat than any other port
Of the world from the actual producers.
Now both Cleveland and Massillon
draw a large proportion Of their bread
stutfs from the Northwest Westward
the whest-producing region takes its
way, but this condition Of affairs, al
though II will last tor many years, will
not be permanent With improved
agriculture, wheat will again be grown
In large quantities where It is now
neglected and the increased settlement
Of the West will, after q certain point
is reached, provide consumers nearer
the places OF production in that region.

ton, and ready ct en- hours notice 10
concentrate forces to prevent an In.
vasion on the Canadian border. Sol
diers claim that no doubt exists that an

and conducted by Russian agents
In this country to engrOss the
attention Of the Dominion Government

Gen. P. q. Sheridan, in his annual re-
port to the War Department, in speaking
of and following the Indian question, is
of the opinion that kind treatment admin,
istered with steadiness and justice would
put stop to all Indian outrages in the
West; and in very short time, with such
treatment, the Indians could be made self
supporting. .
There is no doubt much truth in the
worthy Generals remarks. The Indians
arenot civilized, being endowed with tbe
nature of whites and in many cases are
not tn b anne fer the bloody crimes they
have commitled. Thieving aders ar

The poorest kind Of savings bank, a.
the Camden robbery proves, is man 4
ewn house. A few months ago shoE.
keeper in New York, who made money
safe of leather travelling bag hanging in
an attic closet, was very much surprised to
find it gone. 1t costs a little more, if q
man is afraid of investments, to rent a
drawer or put box in the vaults of a
good safety deposit company; but, with
ali the uncertainties attending watcbmen
and combination locks, these are safer, on
the whole, than the old teapot, the edge Of
the carpet, or the stocking in the bureau
drawer; safer even than the stoutest
money boz.
