All Right.

A democratic member Of Congress the
other day in Washington gave assurance
that as soon as Congress meets he will in
troduce resolution directing the Potter
Committee to investigate all the cipher tele-
grams of both sides.
All right. We suspect that about one
half the members of the House have reso-
lutions in their pockets ready to be flung at
the reading clerk as soon as they can catch
the Speakers eye, ordering an Investigation.
Mr.. Hale has, we believe, pre-empted the
ground on the republican side; Mr.. Potter
himself may be heard from, and the OPEN
ing hours OF the session will be made lively
body and everything.
We trust Speaker Randall will rule all
efforts at investigation ia order. The
House cannot do anything less harmful for
the three months which will remain to it
when it meets than resolve itself into half a
dozen o. dozen energetic committees of
inquiry, and give the whole of its great
mind to cipher dispatches The country
can get on very we'll without any new laws,
and the appropriations will not take up
much time. If both houses will agree to do
nothing for the session except pass the
necessary appropriations and investigate
cipher dispatches the people of the United
States will be happy and content.
We are not of those who habitually speak
with contempt of Congress, nor do we ap-
prove of this too prevalent habit in the
press and among the people, but the posi-
tion of the country just now, the condition
of industry and trade, leave nothing for the
present Congress to do which it is at all
likely to do, and therefore the less it at
tempts to do the better.

The United states Senate To-Day.

Of the State Legislatures to be chosen to-
day seventeen will this winter choose United
States Senators. Besides these there are
seven States which have already chosen
their new Senators, where the Legislatures
have already been elected.
OF the States which will send new Sena-
tors to take their seats on or after next
4th of March, Alabama, Arkansas, Cali :
fornia, Florida, Ohio, Oregon and South
Carolina will exch nge republicans for dem
ocrats; Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and
Wisconsin republican, and Indiana, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and North Carolina democratic, will
make no change in the politics Of their SEN
ators. Connecticut and Pennsylvania are
doubtful, though it is probable that neither
will change.
Of the thirty-eight States twenty-four
have now democratic Governors and only
fourteen republican, but the election to-
day may change the political complexion Of
several States.

THE WEATHER.-During yesterday the do
preston that moved from Canada into Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick developed on the
northern margin of the Gulf Stream decidedly
low barometer. 1t did not, however, affect the
weather within the territory of the United
States except in the extreme northeast of Maine
In the Northwest and West the barometer has
fallen briskly, with warm southerly winds. The
new depression advancing from that direction
will probably move toward the lower lake and
Ohio Valley regions, and find an outlet to the
Atlantic coast in that direction As yet the
weather continues extremely fine over all the
territory east of the Missouri and Mississippi
valleys, being cool on the eastern and warm on
the western section Of that area. The highest
pressures are now north of the lakes and south
Of Tennessee. There will be no appreciabe
change in the weather to-day from that pub
lishcd for the several States in the HERALD yes
terday, except perhaps an increase Of cloud
ness IN the far Northwest, into which dcprcs
sion is now moving. The weather in New York
md its vicinity to-day will be cool and fair OF
clear. Tomorrow but little change will take
place

without counting half-breeds. But what
is of more moment to us, who have the
charge of the remaining Indian people
within our borders, and to whom it must
be O matter of conscience to see that they
are decently treated, actual count shows
that in the last four years. in a popu-
lation of one hundred thousand Indians,
belonging to nearly one hundred tribes,
there has been an actual though slow
increase. the excess of births over deaths
varying from six-tenths of one per cent to
2.32 per cent. This is the important
fact developed by Colonel Mallery's
valuable investigation. The Indians
are not dying out; and our In
dian policy concerns, therefore, not
race which will presently disappear, but
people who are permanently part of us
and for whose care and future we must have
not a temporary and perfunctory policy,
but one which shall last, and whose chief
object should be to redeem them as quickly
as possibly from their savage state and in
corporate them into the general body of the
people, making them amenable to the same
laws as other residents and throwing upon
them, as quickly as is reasonable, the bur-
dens Of life, from which the agency plan
now too greatly relieves them. On the
present theory the Indian is perforce
tramp. He cannot own property individ-
ually-at least, he is not encouraged to do
so. If he separates himself from his tribe
and tries to earn his living by labor he
becomes an object of suspicion and perse-
cution by the Indian agents, to whom he
then ceases to be profitable and it is but
few years since that in California hundreds
Of Indians living quietly and usefully as

ConsniratOrs, Day.

The patriotic voter in New York who has
listened obediently to the mouthpieces of
his party, no matter which party it may be,
has learned ere this that the candidates for
whom. .he is not going to vote are suspected
OF q never-equalled assortment of terrible
conspiracies. If, therefore, he is suscep-
tible to condolences, he will grip his ballot
with more than ordinary determination and
take longer stride than usual on his way
to the polls as he realizes that to-day is Guy
Fawkes' Day as well as election day, and
that history has come along the centuries
and across the Atlantic to repeat itself
in our own metropolis. Guy Fawkes
operated with gunpowder and under
the houses of parliament; but what
is the villanous saltpetre compared
with the villanous games that every
voter is sure the other side is up to
What are houses Of parliament compared
with court houses and city halls and assem-
bly, chambers, to say nothing of more i'm
portant buildings, under which every voter
believes that all sorts of dark conspirators
are hard at work with all sorts of tools and
appliances, among which wires and pipes
are prominent? And when the shades of
even fall, and the patriotic voters own can
didate is elected, as the voter is already
sure he will be. what is the burning of
Guy Fawkes in effigy compared with the
.'roasting' which will be bestowed by the
successful voter upon the foiled conspim-
tors and all Of their miserable apologists ?

ssDeuced Awkward, You Know"


We know not what wild freak Of the
cable what Afghan nightmare, what Rus
sian bogey, is responsible for the peculiar
mixture of howl and whine emitted yester-
day afternoon by the Pail Mall Gazette on
the fishery question. A telegraphic sum-
mary of Secretary Evarts admirable and
eyen-tempered note to Mr.. Welsh,
examining and overturning Lord Sails
bury's position on the rights of New
foundland mob to drive off our fishermen in
defiance Of their rights under the Treaty Of
Washington, appears to be the immediate
cause of this outburst of lamentation and
rage. What kind Of summary would make
Mr.. Evarts' very plain statement appear
'rather threatening" to British eyes we cam
not say, suffering as those eyes are from
acute Oriental Inflammation. 1t is scarcely
accidental" says the Gazette, that this
note should come at time when
England has her hands full Of COM
plications. No, it was the design of this
truculent Mr.. Evarts to catch Lord Sails
bury between the Afghan devil and Russian
deep sea and breathe horrible threats
at him if he did not summarily pay
for the damages to our ishermen's
nets. 1t was, it seems, directly con-
trary TO the spirit Of the Treaty Of
Washington (Which, by the way. the Gazette
refers to with loathing) that our Secretary
of State should demonstrate against any
British outrage, until he had first assured
himself that England had, Lord Salisbury
had, no other little difficulty on hand To
go suddenly springing diplomatic mines
at an awkward time," you know, is per-
fectly awful.
Having started on this intelligent basis
it is perfectly natural that the journal,
which, we believe, is controlled by Cab
met Minister, should lash itself into fury
and fall into lamentable errors. The
award of the Halifax Commission,
it states, is educ and long over
DUE" and furthermore, it adds,
the American press demands that the
award shall not be paid at all until the
Newfoundland damages are assessed and
deducted. AS the date settled for payment
of the award is the Gath inst, and the
money is already in London, and no re-
spectacle newspaper in America has claimed
that it should not be handed over to
the British government at the proper
time, we think the Gazette has
rather defective sources Of informa-
tion, to put it mildly. That it then
proceeds to talk in wild and horrible way
of galvanizing the claims tor Fenian
damages which were laughed out of court
so many years ago, together with other
exploded Canadian grievances, is not
surprising. 10 be sure it naively admits
that .Lord Salisbury may have taken
up false position" but that he should be
compelled to take up false position at ian
awkward time" evidently convicts Mr..
Evarts of the most wilful maliciousness or
some other terrible crime CONTRARY to every
principle of international law" Verify, the
straits of British party which has
taken contract with itself for s'spirited
foreign policy" are pitiable. To find the
precious Berlin Treaty going to pieces and
Shere Ali reinforcing Ali Musjid is bad
enough without Mr.. Evarts raising "chim-
eras dire" by writing to Mr.. Welsh.
