The Indians.

It is kdaily becoming evident that the
change must be effected in the manage
ment of the Indians. The Interior depart
ment uuder the direction of that brilliant
politician Schurz has made most lament
able failure of the business and there is
growing desire which will no doubt be
heard when Congress meets. in favor of
transferring the Indians to the care of
the war department.. This is the only way
to effectually settle the question and in
sure cessation of the numerous depreda~
tions Of the murdererous brutes who are
fed at the peoples expense who in return
murder and rob their benefactors. To waste
sympathy on these red devils lis to invite
a repetition of their deviltries. The In
dians are naturally cunning-they know
when and how to make the best OF oppor-
tunities, They know that they can plum
der, murder, and commit all sorts OF depre-
dations, and that it is but necessary under
the present policy to ask for
giveness, in order to secure full
absolvency from punishment and a return
to good rations and plenty of weapons and
FIRE water. Under the war department
there would be no foolishness sym
patty wasted. The army officers would
be the judges of the course to be pursued
and how and when to punish the savages.
Peace commissions would be unknown
except at the point of the bayonet, aud the
hord of robbers called Indian agents
would soon be without occupation. Sooner
or later the Indians will have to be driven
from the confines of civilization, and the
sooner they go. the sooner will our western
borders be peopled and 1.-THE mineral and
agricultural resources of the far west
developed. The first step is to transfer
the control of the Indians to the war
department The desired results will
soon follow. The red devils must be fore
ed to behavior 60.

In 1876 the Republicans by committing
the most unparalleled frauds deliberately
stole the presidency. Because their
fraudulent action was legalized by an 8 to
commission they became emboldened to
attempt repetitions on smaller scale.
and since that time, whenever opportunity
presented Republican bulldozing has been
prevalent. Particularly was this the case in
Maine at the late elections, where the
most hagraut frauds were committed in
the interest of the Republican party. The
state legislature was in doubt at first, then
after great dealIof uncalled for .delay the
staiwart managers announced a Republi-
can majority in the senate. The Demo
Gratis havesunearthed, the frauds which
brought about this result aud propose to
see that the wrong is righted. 1t is evil
dent that the governor and council will
count in some Democratic senators known
to be elected;and refuse certificates to Ger
tain Republicans known to be fraudulently
elected. And now comes such howl
from the staIwart camp as never was
heard before. It.makes heap of differ
ence whose OK is gored. 1t was perfectly
legitimate,say the stalwart howlers, to steal
q president. to count in defeated candi-
dates provided the Republican party re-
celved the benefit of the deal. but when it
Is attempted by Democrats to do an act of
simple justice there is mourning in the Re-
publican camp. Nevertheless, it looks as
II the next governor of Maine would not
be Republican, the protests OF the
stalwart patriots to the contrary. notwith-
standing. The stalwart managers inaugu-
rated the new departure and now let them
nave the full benefit of their own music.
