A CREMATED INDIAN.

The remains of Pinte Charley, the mur
dered Indian, have been finally disposed of by
his friends. 1t is a custom of the Plutes to Gre
mate any members of their tribe who have
met violent deaths at the hands Of their enc
mics, though from what particular reason no
one knows. The cremation took place On las;
Monday evening back Of Treadway's ranch,
near the apot where the savage was murdered
| The burning took place in the night ana was
| witnessed by quite delegation of whites who
live in the vicinity. The Plutes we're present
in strong force, but as far as heard from
no Washoes were invited. The funeral pyre
consisted of cord wood and sagebrush and the
tribe stood about IN a circle when the
the whole mass was ablsze and the flames
stirred by the wind dashed the body furiousy
Presently the
SMELL OF BURNING FLsSR
Was noticeable and the odor was something
sickeuing TO the spectators, who were driven
back by the beat and efiuvia combined. The
flames were fercest about the head and
presently the skull cracked with the heat.
The sharp report was heard above the roar
of the flames and caused q shudder with the
whites, but the Piutes watched the proceedings
with characteristic stolidity In about an
hour the fire was so nearly burned out that
the body had sunk down to the ground where
it's blackened outlines were plainly discern
able among the ashes Fresh fuel was then |
thrown on and the fire was kept burning |
nearly ali night. 1t was to all intents and
purposes just good cremation as could be
effected by DR.. De la Moyne with his $780,
300 furnace. Daring the cremation there
we're several fres upon the hills built by the
oiutes to inform the rest of the tribe that
ome notable event WAS taking place.

A TRUE SToRY.-In a public school not far
from Carson, a teacher took great pride in
perfecting his scholars in rectatlons each Fri
day afternoon. On one occasion, when a
number of visitors were to be present, he had
one of his most promising pupils well drilled
in the recitation of Longfellow's " Psalm of
Life" The boy was doing spenddlY, and the
teacher settled back in his chair with an ex-
preston of calm satisfaction most beautiful to
behold. Suddenly the young orator stopped

had been increasing every moment. became
absolutely desperate as the boy ceased en-

with the relief of the timely aid, and in tones
loud and clear he concluded

A Simple Issue.

Mr.. HAYES demands the right to employ
tho army and navy Of the United States, at
places whore elections are being held, to
shoot down unarmcd citizens.
We maintain that this proposition is in
disputable, and that such is tho plain and
only meaning of his lntest veto message
He demands the right to have the army
and navy present at places OF election; no
one will dispute that.
Now to have the army and navy present
unarmcd, or armed with glass swords and
wooden guns would be ridiculous. There
could be no possible object in having them
present unprcpared to kill
The bill which the President vetoes leaves
uncurtailed his right 10 have the army and
navy present at any election, If their pres
ence "be necessary to repel the armed enc
mics OF the United States"
Mr.. HAYES is not satisfied with this. How
could he fail TO be, unless he was determined
to retain the power to employ force, at
places OF election, against unarmed citizens

How The Crops Look.

Tho warm weather which has come upon
us So suddenly within the last week is send
ing vegetation forward at such rate that
its advance is plainly noticeable from day
TO day. 1t is gratifying TO hear that the
spring which now verges on summer gives
promise OF another rich harvest though
just al present In parts of both the West
and the East, the farmers are fretting over
the lack OF ram, and the prayer for rain is
brought into requlsition at many rural
churches.
The dry weather helps along the forest
fires, which are now raging on the Blue
Mountains in the vicinity of Hamburg,
around Pittston. and throughout the north
western part Of Pike County, in Pennsyl-
vania. They are also working great dam
age in Otscgo County and among the Cats
kills in New York, and are reported as in
c-casing rather than showing any signs OF
dying out. Rain, and rain in abundance. Is
what the inhabitants OF those regions, cx-
hausted with lighting the flames, are anx-
iously awaiting.
The present prospect indicates an extra
ordinary peach crop this year IN New Jer
sey, Delaware and Maryland, throughout
the long strip OF land in which that luscious
fruit finds its favorite soil All the accounts
agree in this anticipation. Never but
once says a correspondent Of the Phila-
delpha Times, in the history OF Delaware
was the prospect so good for an immense
crop. The exception was in 1875, when the
actual shipments from this peninsula bor
dered on 5000, 900 baskets" A crop equally
large is expected this season; but we must
bear in mind that peaches have many enc
mics. and that the wise man reserves his
prophecies regarding them until June has
come, and the perils Of the early infancy OF
the fruit are passed.
We may, however, look pretty conf
IDENTIFY for cheap peaches this year. and
full supply Of other fruits; apples even,
though last seasons crop was SO abundant,
promising what is not common, another
and immediately succeeding season Of
plenty. Grapes, too, are reported as look
ing we'll.
The anglers who are now off among the
mountain streams after trout send back in
spiritng reports Of their luck, and the city
markets present new and large varieties Of
food from the South and from the neighbour
ing gardens which these hot May suns are
warming. From the West and the grain
growing regions Of this State the outlook
for the crop of the cereals is described as
good, though there are apprehensions of in
jury in some quarters from the absence Of
rain.

That is to say having first received a call
from the Governor or the Legislature.
BY these acts the President was not per-
mittcd to enter State with the militia or
the regular land or naval forces, to sup
press instruction, or to execute any law,
without first having the request and consent
of the Legislature or Governor. The lines
between the State and the national power
were thus distinctly defined and preserved
whereas under the partisan act of 1865,
for the first time in our history, and
against all the traditions OF freedom, the
Executive may, in advance Of an election,
quarter an army In this or any other city,
and, under pretcnce OF preserving peace
at tho polls, may control the ballot box alb
solutely. Yet Mr.. CoNRLING, Mr.. EpMUNDs.
and their creature, Mr. HAYES. are bold
enough to say that these old acts and the
bayonet law at elections are similar!
Again. Mr.. CoNKLING, Mr.. EDMuNDs. and
their follower in the White House. cite the
act OF 1861 under Mr. LINCOLN, which in
vested the President with exceptional power
to suppress the rebellion" as being idonti-
cal in spirit with that of 1865 for carrying
elections. They suppressed the condition.
however, that even this law passed for the
greatest Of all possible emergencies, and
with secession armed and aiming at the
overthrow OF the Union, required the Prcsi-
dent to issue n proclamation summoning
those in rebellion to lay down their arms
and to submit to the laws, before he could
move a step!
Surely, when men like Mr.. CoNKLINa and
Mr.. EDMUNDs resort to these unworthy
methods 10 deceive the country, their cause
must indeed be bad They distorted the
law and the history OF legislation, in order
to make n party point and to mislcad the
public.
Now as to the army appropriation There
is nothing IN the Constitution which requires
an army to DO maintained in any manner or
form. 1t Is exclusively the creature of Con-
gross, dependent entirely upon its will, and
even then restrained to an existence OF two
years, unless life should be renewed by its
legislative creator. Article l. section s, de-
clares:
The Congress shall hsr power to and support
armies but appropriation OF money that shall
be ior a longer term than two years"
The Executive has nothing TO do with the
raising or the support OF the army, except
to attest by his signature the will OF Con-
gress Again, clause Ii Of the same section
declares:
Congress shalt have power to make rules for the
government and regulation Of the land aud naval forces
The issue between the two parties is dis
tinctly joined, and all attempts to conceal
or TO confuse it will fail The army is a
dead weight on the country. Thirty mil
lions year are voted to keep It up, for the
benefit OF n preferred class and 10 support
the party IL power. As between the main
tenance Of a free ballot and the mainten-
ance OF standing army, let the army slide.
Whoever at this crisis yields hairs breadth
of the great principle at stake, may bid
farewell TO public life forever.

Rednce the Army

There are nearly one hundred and fifty
Democrats, good, bad and Indifferent, in the
present House of Representatives. Which
OF them will be the first TO bring forward
bill reducing the army TO 1000 men;
This reduction should have been made
long ago. There are good and sufficient
reasons for making it now, wholly aside
from the danger TO republican institutions
in maintaining an ovcrgrown standing
army in time Of peace. The people have
been paying too much for their whistle, and
1t is bigger whistle than they have any
use for. So long as the taxes are where
they are, ii is an outrage 10 take millions
OF dollars out of the peoples pockets, year
after year, for the benefit Of a class OF
would-be arstocrats in shoulder straps
farmers, mechanics, and business mon whose
money keeps these fine military popiniays
In bread and butter.
Now HAYES has furnished fresh and co.
gent reason for this reduction by vetoing
two bills, one after the other, designed TO
prevent the employment OF the paid sol
diers Of the United States by a political
party to carry elections at the point of the
bayonet when the ballot fails.
An army Of 10000 men will be plenty large
enough TO take care OF the Texas frontier
and look after the Indians. 1t Will be too
large, by 1000 men, If it is to be used as
makeweight in narty politics.
What Democratic Congressman will earn
the applause Of the country by introducing
q bill to cut down the army to 10000 men?

and half. From this miserable place a
few last winter escaped north, and after q
terrible journey. for tho first time in many
months found themselves able to work
again, having been Hospitality welcomed by
the Omaha Indians, and allowed to plant
and SOW They were discovered, arrested,
and, at the orders Of CARL SCHURz, were to
have been forced back to fever and despair
in the Indian Territory, when Judge DUNDY's
Older restored them to liberty.
But II it be true that the Poncas had n
right to leave their reservation. and that 1t
is a violation OF the laws now, "undcr color
of the authority OF the United States,' to
force them back, what shall we say of
HAYEss costly and bloody Nez Perez war,
which was brought on solely because Chief
JOSEPH, u non-treaty chief, refused to leave
lands to which no had q clear legal right,
and to be penned in reservation
What shall be said, also, OF that massacre
Of the Cheyennes which lies at the door of
HAYES and CARL ScHURz? The Cheyennes
quilted the Indian Territory peacefully, like
the Poncas, and quilted it because, like the
Poncas, they had been swindlcd, and so felt
free. after tho contract was broken. to re-
turn to their old homes in the north. The
difference was that, while the few Poncas
escaped unnoticcd, the Cheyennes were fol-
lowed at once and shot down like dogs. II
these Cheyenncs had the right of expatria-
tion, as Judge DUNDY says what words are
strong enough to tell tho cruelty and in
fanny OF their massacre by command OF
HAYES and ScHURz?
The reservation system, as at first planned.
had great advantages for red men and white,
because its foundation stones were TO be free
consent and fair dealing. Since that day,
but most Of all under the HAYES regime,
force and fraud. violated promises and then
the murderous bullet, have been substituted
for liberty of action and intelligent choice
Perhaps Judge DUNDY's decision may show
some door Of temporary escape for the race
that Is thus crowded to the wall.
That mere Territorial Judge should pre-
sumo to interfere with the policy Of Mr..
CARL SCHURz is an unwclcome surprise
to that eminent fraudulent philanthropist,
and he Is not at all disposed to submit, il he
can help It. Orders have already gone from
Washington to the District Attorney at
Omaha TO carry the case to tho higher
courts.
