The Army BIll.

The army appropriation bin as it passed the House contained several propositions which seem 60 us absurd. Most prominent is the section which denies the use of the army as posse colnitatus. The very purpose of a standing army in time of peace ic 'o quell internal eruption of every char acter. If this use is forbidden i; would be better to disband the army at once.
 The transfer of the Indians tO the War Derertment may be wise but we dent advocate it. There are some things in it's favor but much against. It is all well enough tO tell what the pure and powerful army" could do with the Indians 1t looks very smooth in fine speeches and neat print, but the Indians are not playthings. Their government is no easy task and should the army get them it will appreciate that a thankless duty and heavy re- sponsibility has fallen with a dead weight upon It's shoulders, and it will soon sicken of a job which will secure only severe hits and harsh criticism.
 The military record shows that dur ing the last six months of their admin istration at San Carlos in 1874, ten men were killed. During the last four years under civil rule with five times as many Indians not one murder is traeable directly to the reservation h. dians.
 Give the Washington office little more system and deal more back bone and the Indians will do better where they are than under the army, however we are willing to see the mat ter tested, but the nomination Of Mir Pattee and several other Indian Agents indicate that the Indian authorities do not expect the Senate to concur in the House resolution to transfer the h. dians to the War Department

As..a. -r v,e..rn for san Carlos.

Our dispatches this week announces .he nomination Of John Pattee of Iowa, to be Agent at San Carlos. No oaa doubts that the Indian office knows inst what # is about This is the third man nominated within as many n0n,hs. The first two rose to the sur face, twinkled for moment then dis a7peared suddenly, almost mysterious r.. Now the '. D. has settled upon 1Ir Pattee, and will no doubt have soue fun with him. but what will be his fate no one knows and 1t would be folly 10 attemp. a guess.
 When Agent Hart was here last he informed us that the bill, increasing ,be saiaries of Fl agents west of the Rocky Mountains, had passed and as hat would increase his pay to S25OO per sunum he thought he should stay at San Carlos. The fact that Mir Pat See has since been nominated leads us to conclude that the Washington au- troriiss have decided to curtail NIT. 6a-'s administration, and try a new man
 1[- Chamherlin was ;he. first ap- Pci1t to succeed Mir. Hart It was discovered that ne had no character to as6aa and so the Indian Department did't want him. Next came Mr. Cum uiags snd it is possible that Mir. c. conciuded he mad too much character to r.sk in slch uncertain hands, hence he didn't want the Indian Department. Nov, sIr Psttee must De tested, if he is . 5st man he will be dismissed; if a roo3 man as will be abused.
 EEE CITIZEN under its present man areu act vii. not assume any particular at ude in these matter. We will pub lish news, put so long as the Indians are kept at home and at peace we don't give a continental who cusses ard is cussed at San Carlos.

 Crook on the Indian Troubles.
 OMAHA, June 7.-General Crook isI of opinion that the Idaho Indian troubles may require a considerable force to subdue them. He recently visited that country and took personal observations at the Agencies. In hisI opinion, the principal trouble arose from the fact that the Indians have not had enough food He attached noI blame to the agents for this, as he thought they had faithfully and hon. estly distributed the supplies furnished by the Government; hut the fact is. the Government supplies have been short; while st some Agencies, the Indians depend partly on the game they can kill. There is TO game of any account in the vicinity of he Idaho Agencies, where the Indians depend wholly upon Government supplies. In proportion to other Agencies, the Bannock and other Idaho Indians are fed a good deal less than q Sioux. In regard to the reported excursion of Sitting Bull. General Crook says that when he was
