General Sherman has transmitted
his annual report to the Secretary of
War. A portion Of it relates to the
Indian troubles, as set forth in the
recent report of General Sheridan and
those Of Generals Mcdowell. Pope,
Howard and Wilcox as to the condl-
tion OF affairs in the States and Terri
tories of the Far West. The General
asserts that the Indian problem is not
single problem, but many, almost, as
there are tribes. Measures which
would be wise in one instance would
be folly In another, and whatever de-
partment Of the Government is eharg-
ed with it must be armed not only
with force, bat large discretion, and
authority to furnish food in emergen-
cies. Starvation will each year c4use
wars snch as occurred this season with
the Shoshones aud Southern Cheyen-
nes. The army cannot forsee or pre-
vent these wars All it can do, after
the Indians break out, plunder, or steal
aud kill harmless families, is to pur-
sue and capture them in detail, after
infinite toll; then to conduct them back
to their reservations and turn them
loose to return to the same game ad-
libitum. Congress can alone provide
remedy.
The report shows that there are
| ,S29 enlisted men in the ten regi-
ments of cavalry in the army, $3.50
men IN the five regiments Of artillery,
and ll.2O5 in the twenty-five regi-
ments of infantry, making a total Of 2 |
664. Besides these there are in the
engineer battalion 1919; permanent and
recruiting parties, music boys and re-
cruits in the depots, 1,12l; enlisted
men detached on general service, 372
ordinance departments, 344; West
Point detachments, 100; prison gaurd

LeadvilIe, Lake county, Col, is the
highest, newest, and for its size, the
noisiest, city on the continent. 1t is
what miners call rattling camp. 1t
is close upon tile snowy range, overlook
ing California Gulch, the scene of the
gold hunting furore Of 1859. At an
altitude of about 5000 feet, or, to put
it more forcible, nearly 2 miles higher
than New York, it may be considered
as we'll up In the world There is no
place like it in the whole Rocky
Mountains. 1t is a larger city than
Deadwood on the north, or Sllgerton
or Lake City on the south. The ~
year old towns of Black Hawk, Central
and Georgetown are nothing to it in
population, trade, fast money-making
and fast everything Where Lead
vile now stands was year ago almost
bowling wilderness. There were a
few prospectors busying themselves
with turning up the rccks here aud
there, but there was hardly what
could be called a camp. Nc town had
been staked out. 1t was not until
last Spring when the place was orga-
nized and named. From that time
until now people have p ured it from
all the surrounding country, from the
Far East and from the Pacific States
aad Territories, until there is now a
bustling city of 5000 inhabitants. 1t
has Mayor, City Council, police and
fire departments, churches, schools, a
telegraph line, daily mails, money-or-
der Post Office, two newspapers, three
banks and hundreds Of stores, shops,
saloons and other features of a fast
new city. The streets have sort
of struggling regularity The prin-
cpal thoroughfares are named Chest
nut, Pine State and Harrison avenues.
Almost everything is cheaply built,
the stores which carry the largest
stocks being mere cabins. There are
few story-and-a-half and two-story
buildings. Lumber is IN great demand
and the three and four saw-mills in the
vicinity are not adequate to supply
the need. Lately business men have
begun to plan larger and better struc-
lures, brick-yards have been started,
and some fine blocks are under way.
The prevailing spirit is that of rampant
speculation People stake out claims.

"salt' them, get some plausible do

it is but few days before an avaricl-

Everything partakes of the nature OF
a grand debauch. Men seem to be
carried away with the excitement,
and, no longer satisfied with the plod'
ding and sure-footed business ways
seem lost in mad, furious chase for
fortunes. Of course, saloons, dance
houses, theatres and keno dens flourish
in such place as this.

News comes from North Caroline
that the two straight Republicans who
have been elected to Congress from

manipulations Of the Democratic can

easy it is for Democratic politicians to
''fx up" such little affairs to suit them
selves, when they have a chance, will
not be surprised at this announcement.
