secrecy to be punished as mere contempt
is an inadequate mode of dealing with SO
grave an offence. If such theft is perpe-
trated in committee room in tho expiring
days of Congress imprisonment for con-
tempt during the few days the session
lasts is no adequate punishment, and
an expiring House. can infict no
other. The offence is so much graver
than more petit larceny that it should not
be left TO be dealt with by the courts on
that doubtful basis. The stealing of a letter
from the mail is not left to be treated rs a
nero larceny, but is made separate offence
punishable by specific penalties. The vio-
lation of private correspondence while in
the custody Of committee Of Congress or
of court of Justice should also be made
specific offence with appropriate penalties
severe enough to be terror to curious and
prying thieves And as in other eases of
theft the receivers of the stolen goods should
be punishable as we'll as the actual thieves,
unless they can make it appear that they
had no guilty knowledge Of the means by
which the stolen dispatches were pro-
cured. The telegraph has nearly super
seded the mail in important busi-
ness transactions. Thousands and thou
sands of merchants buy and sell every
day in the year on confidential
information received by telegraph. They
are compelled to use the telegraph to keep
up with the actual state of the markets, and
the success of their business depends on
the inviolnbility of such communications.
The protection given by the law to the pri-
vacy of sealed letters is of minor \conse-
quence in comparison with the necessity Of
shielding kilograms from intrusion and
lawless curiosity.

A National Conscience Demanded.

Because the pastor of Plymouth Church
has for long time been silent on national
affairs he has been suspected of dropping
back into religion as 1t is taught by books.
but his sermon of yesterday morning shows
that he hus 'been keeping up o powerful
thinking" Hevigorously asserted the need
of public conscience, particularly in re-
publics. where exceptional rights imply
greater moral duties; but that such an influ-
ence docs not exist in the United States he
proved by instancing our vacillation re-
garding the Mormons, negroes. Indians and
Chinese; the shameful failure Of great States
to pay their debts, the unrebuked
openness with which facilities for vicious
indulgence are sold and the low character
Of most public officials. Tho worst thing
about the preachers charges is their truth.
A public impulse to determine national
questions on moral grounds has never been
created by any party; the press. with very
raro and isolated exceptions, has never

win There Be an Indian war.

Judging from our special correspondents
despatch from the Pine Ridge Agency there
is good ground for believing that the dis
affected Cheyennes are ondeavoring to join
Sitting Bulls band. These warlike Indians
were we'll armed and mounted and carried
abundance of ammunition and provisions.
The fact that there were no squaws shows
clearly that this band is bent on mischief
Our correspondent also states that the
whites are thoroughly convinced that q
war will break out in the spring,
and he mentions the significant fact that
the ssquiet" Indians at the agency fre-
quently put on war paint and mourn for
tho slaughtered Cheyennes. People resid.
ing in the Indian country are very apt to
magnify the movements and actions Of the
warriors; so it is not surprising to find
them predicting war on an extensive scale.
Sometimes these ''signs" do not turn out
true, but the recent treatment of the heroic
Cheyenne braves at Fort Robinson is cal
culated to infame the breasts Of the red
men, and if they do go ON the war
path it will not be surprising. The
Indian question was never so perplex ing
as at present, and we trust that the govern
ment will grapple with it in such o manner
as to prevent further hostilities and con-
vince the several tribes that peace is for
them tho best policy. Now is the time for
the ounce Of prevention. BY and by it may
need the pound Of cure to bring the Indians
to terms. The first is the preferable course;
for we have had enough OF Indian slaughters
and Custer massacres.

An Unwise Policy.

Among the immediate effects of rapid
transit it appears that some owners Of
dwelling houses are looking for an advance
in rents next May, and agents are in many
instances endeavoring to persuade their
principals TO stand out for higher prices.
There is no reason why rents should go up.
Material. labor and oil general expenses are
lower now than they have been in many
years, and the burden of taxation is grad
ually growing lighter. Any attempt to ad-
vance rents at this time would be great
blunder on the part of property owners,
for it would check the disposition to re-
turn to housekeeping on the part of many
who have been driven to boarding houses
by the high prices of the last few years,
and would deter people who now have their
homes in New Jersey and Kings county
from taking up their residence in New
York. Reasonable rents up town will in
ducc all who can afford to do 80 to leave the
crowded tenement house districts down
town for more healthful localities; but If
rents are advanced tho full benefit Of rapid
transit to real estate will be postponed.
Indeed, the best speculation that can now
be made by capitalists is the erection Of
cheap but comfortable. cosey cottages, such
as are to be found in the suburbs of Lon
don, which can be proAtably let at low
rents. This is just what the people Of New
York whose incomes are moderate require,
and just what will aid, more than anything
else, the growth and prosperity of the city.

Can We Create a Trade with messco ,

Can We Create Trade with Mcxicos
In considering tho resources of Mexico,
the foundation on which an international
trade can be built up for the benefit of our
producers and her consumers. people are
npt to forget that something else is wanted
to insure success besides tho presence of
population and natural wealth. Mexico
represents larger area than all
our territory west of the Rocky
Mountains, but, unlike it, possesses no
railroad facilities for collecting and concen-
trating her productions for expectation
Consequently her productive power is
dwarfed, her population is impoverished
and her internal politics are unstable In
the face Of such conditions and although
both the American and Mexican peoples
may be willing to trade with each other.

bribery was not abetted is proved by Mr..
Tildens recalling Pelton from Baltimore in
impatience and anger as soon as he learned
what he had gone there for, and by Mr..
Marbles destroying Pelton's despatch to
Tallahassee as soon as he had read it and
never mentioning its contents. These facts
wore sworn to. and there is no evidence to
contradict them. There is abundant owl
denco Of intended bribery against Pei
ton and Weed; but rs they will
never be arraigned and tried, and as the
public does not care q straw whether they
are arraigned and tried or not, it is suf-
ficiently apparent that the crime of stealing
the dispatches is not excused by their inn
potence as evidence against any individual
liable to punishment.
The thieves who stole the dispatches
from o committee room ought to be pun
ished. We suppose they might DO indicted
for larceny in the District Of Columbia, and
might also be imprisoned by the Senate for
contempt. We hope the sevorest penalties
may be inflicted which the laws allow, but
there is neceSsity for more efficient legis-
lation. Congress claims the power, and the
federal courts possess and may sometimes
exercise the power of compelling the pro-
duction of private kilograms to be used as
evidence. Careful provision should be
made by law for the protection of such de-
spatches while in the custody Of the officers
