under instructions from the commanding OF
ticer, Col. G. G. Gilbert, for the ranch from
whence the two ponies had been taken, and
where the shepherd was reported missing.
Upon his arrival there found that the
ground had been thoroughly looked over
by citizens. He is of the opinion that the
shepherd was taken out of bed away into
the mountains, and killed after being per-
haps tortured. Clifford Will go in search of
the missing man again, and in view of that
has sent over to Whites guleh asking
Messrs. Means and Day to help him.
About 10 days ago" ah5ther cabin near
Coppcropolis was fired into, it is presumed
by the same party. The inmate made his
escape and went after help on his return
he found the'cabin had been plundered.
Nothing leading to the capture of the In
dams was left uhdone. All the men worked
on the trail on thet21st until further effort
was useless.
A correspondent from Camp Baker
writes Until to-day I was under the inn
preston that these Indians are Flatheads,'
but the dead Indian did not nave a scrap Of
buckskin about him was very dirty and
showed manly Indications of not having
been at home for a very long time. The
Post-Trader's clerk, Mr.. Bryan, who has
had Misunderstanding with the Flatheads for
years, and knows nearly every one that
comes this way, does nbHrecognize him as a
Flathead, and thus far he has not been rec!
ognized.
During the fight at the crack of "a rifle,
an Indian fell far 10 the right of where the
dead one was found and crawled away

Prof. Woodruff Floating school.

An enterprising college professor al In
diana has started project for carrying a
lot Of young men and boys around the
world on sort OF iunketing excursion.
The Ostensible purpose Of the expedition is
to study science, and corps OF instructors
is to be taken along for the purpose of teach
ing the youthful passengers; but 1t is safe
TO say that little valuable study is likely to
be done during the voyage
The price for the passage and tuition is put
at high figure, and strenuous efforts have
for several months been made to secure
ship load Of paying passengers. The idea
is, indeed to start floating private school,
with the assistance of navy officers as
teachers md navigators. and to sail from
place to place in order to acquire scientific
information under agreeable circums tances
Prof. WOODRUFF, the master OF the school
and the organizer Of the enterprise, which
doubtless he intends to make profitable III
more ways than one, proposes to purchase
steamer to carry the scholars. The steamer
he wishes to buy Is foreign built, and there
fore he appealed to Congress to give the
Secretary OF the Treasury authority to make
an exception in his favor, and grant him Il
United States register for her. 1t seems he
has not yet purchased the vessel, but is
waiting until he shall get money enough out
OF tuition fees to conclude the bargain.
Our navigation laws are all right, and
it is especially hard to see why they
should be set aside for the benefit Of
Prof. WOODRUFF and his floating pri-
vate school. That Is something in which
neither Congress nor the country has
any interest. 1t is his own undertaking, and
does not set out to accomplish any great
public or scientific purpose. He merely
wishes to try the experiment OF getting a
load OF pupils, the SONS of men who can af-
ford to pay heavy price for their foreign
travel and taking them around the world,
with view Of learning and observing. He
had no more right TO expect the indulgence
Of Congress than II shipmaster who starts
out on any other commercial voyage.
Besides, there are serious and unanswcr-
able objections to this WOODRUFF Scientific
Expedition, which make its encouragement
undesirable, No parent, who knows any
thing Of the evil moral results Of a roe
tractcd cruise upon ship load of boys,
would think for a moment of let ting his son
90 on such an expedition. Even during
the short cruises of the midShipmcn
from the Naval Academy, and the boys in
the training schools, these dcctcrious
effects appear, aud are familiar to navy
officers. Put hundred or two young fei-
lows together on shpboard for SO long n
time as Prof. WOODRUFF proposes, and the

Enslaving Ourselves.

The war that at such immense cost freed
the slaves OF the South will hardly have re-
suited In any net gain othc cause OF human
liberty II it is to be paid Tor 10y placing a
heavy yoke and grievous to be borne on our
own necks Such a yoke is an income tax.
1t impairs essentially the personal liberty
which every man ought to possess. Ii inter-
fercs with that first Of all possessions, self
respect; for it compcls every man to UNI
cover the details OF his private business
affairs 10 the prying curiosity Of his neigh
bors and his competitors. Human ingenuity
could not devise a more odlOus form Of tax
alton In reality il puts citizen in his re-
laton to his own Government very much
on the footing Of slave toward his master.
The value Of property is largely diminished
when such "a hateful condition as the pay
ment Of an income tax is attached To il
The inducement to industry is diminished
when the sting OF an inquisitiOn Is made
proportionate To ones acquisitions.
Intelligent Washington correspondents
say the prospect Is that the income tax will
pass II is obvious to every thoughtful ob-
server that there is a growing disregard
among legislators OF personal rights and Of
legal and constitutional obligations. But
little room is left for surprise at anything
Congress may do. There has probably
never been a House or Senate In which
there was less regard for the fundamental
law Of the land.
One thing still remains both Representa-
tivcs and Senators are conscious Of the
fact that the breath Of the people which
made them can unmake them. They are
not Indifferent TO clear and strong nantes
tations of popular sentiment. On this ac-
count remonstranccs, numerou~ly signed
against the retnactmcnt Of an income tax
should be poured into the House and the
Senate like the rush of "A mountain torrent
swollen by the spring rains.
If we supinely submit TO the imposition
Of new income tax, we consent to our own
measurable enslavcment. All who would
enjoy freedom in its full extent should
stir themselves to protest against it.
