The Local Paper.

The New York Times says Of the
local paper: "You might nearly as
we'll forget your churches, your acad-
emies and your school-houses, as
to forget your local paper. 1t speaks
to ten times the audience that your
local minister does. It is read eager
ly each day and each week from be-
ginning to end. 1t reaches you all,
and if it has alower spirit and wis
dom than a sermon, it has q thou
sand times better chance at you, ly-
ing as it does on every table in al
most every house. You owe it to
yourselves to rally to its support, and
exact from it as able, as high a char
acter as you do from an educator in
your midst. 1t is in no sense beneath
notice and care-for it is your repre-
sentative. Indeed, it is the summa-
ton of the importance, interest and
welfare of you all. 1t is the aggre-
gate Of your own consequence, and
you cannot ignore it without misera-
bly, depreciating YOURSELF"

School Exhibition.

We hope our citizens will not forget
the exhibition to be given by the
scholars of the public school Monday
evening at Miners Union Hall. As
there appears to be . slight misun-
derstanding in regard to the object of
this entertainment an explanation
may not be out of order. After the
church debt was paid off with the
money raised by the festival there
was a balance of about $50 in the
treasury Of the festival association.
1t was proposed to devote this sum to
the purchase of a new organ. The
teachers and scholars agreed to make
up the deficiency provided that the
old organ be turned over to the
school. As will be seen by this it is
not church affair at all, but is one of
interest to parents of all sects and
denominations,a as it procures an organ
for the school at a much lower rate
than it could be purchased under
other circumstances. In our last
issue we erred in placing the price Of
admission at 25 cents. We should
have said so cents-a price low
enough for all. Following is the
programme for the evening:

Let us Have Real Democracy!

We are unable to understand why the
democratic party OF this city-a party
whose original doctrines have in past times
made II prominently the partyof the people
should not still bc organized and con-
Quoted as under our republican system, all
the political communities Of the United
States are organized and conducted, I'm a
genuine democratic republican manner. Tho
political system Of the American people was
aptly described by the late President IiN-
colin in his speech at Gettysburg n speech
which must ever rank among the most adj
mirable gems Of eloqucncc- a. government
Of the people. by the people. and for he pco-
pie. This is the quality of our national
Constitution. Of the Constitutions ~ all the
States, and Of every city or village charter.
Equal power equal rights. equal and uni
versal suffrage. form the foundation upon
which the whole structure rests. and when.
only year ago, an attempt was madc in
this state to change this system so far A.
the government Of cities Is concerned. and
e. change it 10y limiting the elective fran
Ihisc aud constituting Il class Of superior
and privileged voters the attempt was in
dignantly rcbukcd and crushed ont by the
people. They would nave none Of it.
Why then we ask, must tho Democratic
party Of this city be- governed 10y dc-pot-
ism exercised by u sort of king or dictator
Are the Democracy ~ Now York 50 igno-
rant so degraded, and so spirtlos- that they

uf New York alone We do not believe in
any such failure. We want no dcspotism.

the year. He, in addition, last winter urged
"that immediate arrangements bo made to
save these Indians from restitution, II not
absolute starvation, to protect the honor
and good faith of the Government, and to
relieve this frontier from a constant danger
of outbreaks"
What did the HAYES Administration do,
on this and many repeated warnings 2 II
took away from this very region, where
starvation threatened violence. half the
available troops. and masscd them against
Mexico. Meanwhile, SO little was done for
the Indians that shortly before the Scptcm-
her outbreak, the Northern Chcycnncs were
known to be eating the flesh Of horses that
died of disease to appcasc their hunger At
last the outbreak came, and troops that
should have been ON hand to help protect
the settlers were fai away at san Antonio.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1878-10-31

The HAYES Administration does not pro-
pose to pay for the houses burned, the crops
destroyed, and the farm stock driven away
10y the Northern Cheycnncs in their late
desperate run for life; nor will it atone To-
the families Of settlers for the forty and
more lives of slaughtered husbands and
sons Yet to the bancful policy Of the HAYES
Administration these calanties are directly
due.
When the Indians broke from Fort Reno
there were at that agency j,o5l Chcycuncs
and Arapahooe, guarded 10y two under-sizcd
companies Of the Fourth Cavalry and two
of the Eighteenth Infantry. The two latter
aggrcgating only sixty or seventy men,
obviously had to remain near the 400 In
dians who stayed quiet, while the cavalry
pushed after the iugitiYos. When they came
up with the Indians ON the third day, they
were badly defeated, from lack Of numbers.
But why Nerr there available only two
companies of the Fourth Cavalry at Fort
Reno, and one each at Fort Sill and Camp
Supply, when less than a year ago there
were six other companies of this same rcgi-
mont stationed IN the Indian Territory ?
The reason IL that last December Col.
MACKENZIE was with companies A, G. u, X,
l., and NJ of the Fourth Cavalry taken away
from Fort Sill and sent down into Texas. to
assist in llAYEs's outra9os upon Mexico.
Fort Reno, new post, is on the north fork of
N he Canadian, only seventy or eighty miles
n'om Fort Sill 1t is thus clear that the six
c6mpanics taken away To Texas would have
been available, on timely warning, mt the
bcgfning Of the Cheyenne outbreak, and,
propctly handled would have crushed IL in
the bud Tho pcrncious Mexican plotting
Of HAYE,, thus bore fruit Of evil, not only on
the Rio Grande, but on tho frontiers he
stripped al the West
what makes this conduct more Plaringly
reckless is the fact that whom the transfer
to Texas was made, the distress which has
now ended in n bloody war had been dcvcl-
oped, and the Ontbrcek was predicted At
the time the six companies Of the Fo,rth
Cavalry were taken away the Cheycnncs at
Fort Reno were suffering for lack Of food

sEyEN DAYS IN PERIL.
The Marx Annio-saxon struck by Hurri-
cane and wrecked In Mid-Ocean.

The steamship Amcriquc, Commander
Debost arrived in this port yesterday having
on board Capt. Malcolm McCaulcy and twelve
seamcn late Of the bark Anglo-Saxon.
The AnRlo-Saxon with n crow Of seventeen
mon all told. and ladened with sand ballast.
sailed from London for the st. Lawrence on
Sept Is. on the morning Of the 10th inst.
under full sail she encountered terrific north
west hurricane which lasted fifty hours. Before
the sails could be taken in the bark was thrown
upon her beam ends. her ballast was shifted.
and shc took water A. every sea. Her bows
were stove I'm. two of her boats were carried
away. and three Of the water tanks destroyed.
leaving but one small cask OF fresh water.
After three hours work the pumps became
chOked with the sand ballast, and were aban-
dOncd. The water gained rapidly. anu
dangerous leak was discovered.
To relieve tho vessel and right her, on the
morning of the second day, the hurricane be-
ing still at its height, two Of the crew, the car,
pcntcr, Peter Matthias. and a seaman named
David Trumbly volunteered to cut away the
main foretop and mizzenmasts. They sue
cceded with the latter. bu, when the main top
mnst fell they became cntanglcd In The rigging;
The carpenter was thrown overheard and
rescued. but the sailor fell to the deck. striking
head foremost. and was instantly killed
Tho vessel although relieved OF her heavy
tvpmast did not right herself and all hands
were SGT 10 work battling with buckets. which
was continued SO steadily that for thirty-siX
hours the men were without food or drink. On
ana on the night OF the NTH day the last ounce
Of water was used.

This is what the best authority ON iron

June I. 1873, of the Puritan JONI Roach re-
