the war and interior departments has
again broken out and promises 10 be-
come hotter than the Ute war. Gen.
Sheridan seems TO be displeased with

not seem to coincide with the war meas

Utes.
A DISPATCH from Pittsburg of the 22d
inst, says three little girls named Stella,
Lille and Mary Dunn, daughters of John
Dunn, this morning obtained possession
of railroad signal torpedo, which they
attempted to open by pounding it with a
boulder. An explosion followed, which
fatally injured Stella, aged three years
A fragment struck Lille in the face,
cutting out one eye, and, it is thought,
destroying the sight of the other. Mary,
the oldest, aged seven years, who han.
died the torpedo, escaped with badly
lacerated hands.
A PoTTsyILLE dispatch of the goth
inst says the slight rainfall of Saturday
has had little effect on the water supply
and the prolonged drought Is seriously
felt. AT the colleries in Turkey Run,
Pine Forest and the lower Kansch Creek,
the GOLFERS have suspended Tor want of
water. The Kohniver colliery is supplied
with water hauled from the Mahoney
plane and a number of colleries in the
Mahoney Valley are supplied with water
brought by rail from Gordon water
train running all day for this purpose.
At Shenandoah, half the town is virtual
ly without water, being limited to one
hours supply in the morning and one at

The agitation against vivisection has
taken deep hold in both Germany
and Switzerland. Numerous anti-vivi
section leagues have been formed,
and the countries have been flooded
with pamphlets on the subject. So in
tense a degree of feeling has been
aroused against the leading vivisec-
zionist, and their names have been so
covered with opprobrium, that they
have found it necessary to defend them
selves earnestly in public addresses.
One of the leaders in the movement
against them is Ernest Won Weber, the
South America explorer, who wrote a
book in which he experimental upon
living animals in such forcible colors
that thrill of horror ran through the
reading public of Germany, and thou
sands were straigbtway ready to take
up arms in behalf Of the tormented
brute creation.

AGAINST the proposed removal of the
Ute barbarians from Colorado. the Iu-
dian bureau people venture to raise an
obstacle by saying there IS no other
place to put them. The response OF
Governor Pitkin to this is appropriate.
His notion is that they might be sent to
their friends in Massachusetts, and 9th
er sympathizing sections of the east. Oh
course, the sentimental eyangelists,
Quakers and other non-combatant
friends and admirers of 10, the poor
Indian" could make no valid objection
to such disposition of the ferocious wild
animals they so much desire to tame
with loving kindness.

The plough Is usually considered an
emblem of peace. Recent experience,
however, shows that it can be used to
break the peace as well as the soil, and
may be as dangerous a weapon as the
sword. Our present war against tie
Ute tribe of Indi,ns, and the recent
troubles in New Zealand between the
English settlers and the native Maoris,
seem both to have been begun by men
at the ploughtail. One Of the causes of
the Ute war is stated to have been the
fact that Agent Meeker plougbed up
land in the Ute reservation which he
had no right to cultivate without the
owners consent. So, too, in New Zeal
and the recent troubles began by par
ty Of natives taking possession of an
Englishmsn's farm and proceeding to
plough it up. There, as in America. ii
is difficult to divide the land between
hostile races, in New Zealand, howeve-,
both races seem to have endeavored to
avoid actual war. Americans, both
white snd red are not SO patient. The
English government sometimes governs
its colonial frontiersmen. The United
States government never does SO. The
consequence is that the Indians and the
army suffer the miseries Of war, while
civilians get land and money by robbing
the Indians and cheating the govern
ment.

must look upon such wrongs in The same
way, but party leaders who see in the
solid south increased political powet,
founded upon crime and violence, car
not resist the temptation to ally itself
with this compact organism, solely with
view to gain success and Office and
power. 1t is to the thinking masses that
appeals must be made TO heal this grow
ing sore in the south, for which, if there
is 80 remedy provided, it will spread its
gan grene over the whole country, and you
will as sure as fate, have in the south a
wholesale exodus of the oppressed race, a
disturbance of all tho business interests
ofthe south, or o war of races, Involving
resistance, crimes, and disorders on the
part of the blacks as well as on the part
The whites.
These extreme remedies should be
avoided by healthy measures of redress
and precaution, and, the greatest of all,
wide-reaching in its influence, is to main
tain in power the republican party,
which for twenty years has administered
all the great functions of the government
with remarkable success, and now is the
only party that can deal with firm,
strong hand, with the lawless, reckless,
rebellious minority that now rules the

that is, that the people of the north, who
