Conklins's Successor.

NEW YORK, December 7.
A conference OF Democratic lawyers was
held here lately, to question the compc-
tency of the next Legislature to elect a
Senator to succeed Conk,ing, because the
a-pportionment provision Of the State con-
stitution has not been complied with.
New York's Democratic Congressman at
Washington have also had the matter nm
der advisement, and although the law is
explicit that that State must be reappor-
toned every ten years, it is not thought
the senatorial election will be disturbed.

WASHINGTON, December 7.
The Joint Commission, in considering
the transfer Of the Indian Bureau from the
Civil to the Military Department, to-day,
heard the views Of Colonel A. B. Meacham.
He holds that the only solution of the In
dian problem is in civilizing and educat-
ing the Indians, that they may support
themselves. In the past IS years he has
not known a case where disturbances be-
tween the whites and Indians ave oc-
Cured. except through the breaking Of a
treaty By the former.

soNE coon SHOULD GROW OUT
OF 1T.


1t Is. perhaps. fortunate that the very
bitter controversy now raging between the
army on the one hand and the Secretary Of
the Interior on the other, in regard to tbs
management Of our Indian affairs, has
sprung up. Both sides are in earnest;
both seem disposed and prepared TO strike
hard blows. Probably ont q the sharp
contest . good deal Of truth may be elected.
II Is safe to start with the assumption that
the policy which has been pushed toward
the Indians has been unwise, or it would
not have resulted SO badly. For our heavy
expenditures we receive Ill will, robberies,
and massacres in return. But it is not
enough for Sherman and Sheridan to allege
in broad terms that Schurz's policy is all
wrong. They must so further, and point
cut specifically wherein 1t is wrong, and
Why il works so badly, with such clearness
that members Of Congress and the intelli-
gent people Of the country can understand
all about II. Nor, indecd. will IL be SUM-
cient to make great errors precisely ap-
parent. Remedies must DO suggested
which will DO practicable. and will COM
mend themselves to the common sense Of
the people. In this way the quarrel be-
tueon the Interior Department and these
distinguished officers may be utilized for
ths beneAt Of both the Indians and the
whites.
