AsSEMBLTMAN Carei of kewaunee, has
introduced a bill fixing the school month
at 20 days in all cases, and making it OBJ
ligatory on district boards to credit teach
ers with the time spent in attendance at
institutes when they dismiss school for
the purpose of attendance. 1t is a
wise provision to definitely settle the
school month and to fix it at 20 days.
But the other provision of the bill can
not receive general approval. 1t is to be
presumed when teacher accepts stu
alton that he is competent to perform,
his part of the contract and while there
can be no doubt that his Improvement
rebounds to the advantage of the pupils
under his charge, it does not follow that
the district is under any obligation to
Fay for his tuition and pay him for at.
tending place of instruction. The peo-
pie do well in furnishing him the means
of enlarging his stock of knowledge and
he cannot reasonably expect more. The
normal schools give free tuition but
students are not paid for attending.

attening on the government.

GEN. BRACES speech is attracting con-
siderable attention throughout the United
States, and ELECTS more praise than CEN
sure. While every northern democrat
cannot but heartily. acGuiesce in the
southern claims, still it would seem that
if his speech were little less denuncia-
tory it would be productive of more good.
The speech, from its tone is as well cal
culated to array northern and southern
democracy IN hostile attitudes toward
each other, as to dissipate the hope of the
south that it is possible to have its claims
For the losses during the war, receive
favorable consideration at the hands of
congress. The occasion calls for intrepid
opposition it does not Justify the creation
of sectional bitterness. Gen. Bragg has
done well i'll giving the country to un-
derstand that the allowance of southern
claims is not countenanced by the party
of which he is a member. But he has
gone further than the necessities of the
case required, and caused evaporation and
mutual i'll will. He has used Remuneration
instead of remonstrance, and has threat
ened instead of warned.
1t is well that Gen. Bragg has entered
his protest against the allowance of these
claims 1t will be still better if every
northern democrat vote in accordance
with his views, and avoid his error of
attacking a people who have suffered for
years, the petty persecution of peace
brave partisans. There is no danger
that any of these claims will be allowed,
but republicans are anxious to keep
alive the fear that democratic supremacy
is fraught with danger in this particular.
To satisfy the people that this fear is
groundless, democratic congressman
should in every instance place themselves
on record as being opposed to these de-
mands. The inter folly of presenting
claims of this nature should be at once
shown, as much for the benefit Of those
soliciting as to satisfy public opinion in
the north. We could forgive the sever
est animadversion of Gen. Bragg if di-
rected solely against those stupid claim
ants whose acts simply furnish capital
for republicans This stupid persistence
deserves no consideration, and is suita-
BILE object for the most pointed sarcasm
and apprehension. 1t is discountenanced
by the ablest statesmen of the south and
it brings their honesty and present loyalty
seriously in question.
The adoption of the proposed amend
ment to the constitution, or the solid
vote of the democratic members, will be
effectual in laying this spirit which rises
yearly to weaken confidence and provoke
dissensions. 1t is to be hoped that this
perverse stupidity will be denied an OPP
portunity of again displaying itself. The
country has nothing to fear from it as it
is too powerless to even offer menace
But the democratic party, with willy
opponent, quick to turn everything 70 its
own advantage, is made to appear in q
false position on this question.

THE CHEYENNES.

HE poor, starved fugitiyes from Fort |
Robinson have run their race. No more |
gallant resistance than theirs is recorded |
in history, and history also fails to fur |
nish US with examples of cruelty exceed |
ing that practiced on the defenceless |
prisoners at Fort Robinson. The Chey- |
ennes, suffering from the severity of a
rigorous climate, practically without
arms, with nothing to cheer them but
the determination to die like men rather
than perish in bondage, have been an
initiated after the most approved style
of ancient massacre. They preferred
death to capture, circumstance which
proves the character of the treatment,
they received while in captivity. They
died like men though they might have
lived like savages. The cruelties of which
they were guilty in their first outbreak
are partially forgotten when we remem-
Der the cruelties they endured. Ciyiliza-
ton has outdone barbarism In savage
ry. The quick death by the axe is a
mercy compared to the torture of starya-
ton and freezing.
We're the Indians properly cared for
in their reservations any such attacks on
the people of the frontier as those of the
Cheyennes last fall should be punished
with a severity commensurate with the
offense. But when the government I'M
| der promises Of protection and support
removes Indians from territories in which
they can maintain themselves, it is prlm-
| arily responsible for the outbreaks re-
sulting from disregard OF the promises
made and accepted. The Cheyennes were
| starving on their reservations, while In
dian agents grew rich in appropriating to
themselves what belonged to the Indians
under their care. Indignant at viola
| ton of promises made in consideration
of their abandoning their hunting
grounds, suffering from want and anxious
to escape from the control of a govern
ment which seemed to doom them to a
lingering death, they abandoned their res
ervation and committed murders in their
flight. The wronged savage is not apt to
discriminate to a nicely when avenging
injuries. The citizen is made to suffer
for the bad faith of his government
This is also true in civilized warfare. Are
we to expect more from the poor Indian
who Justly feels himself aggrieved?
The determination which would prefer
death to returning to the reservation
sufficiently evinces the hardships the In
dams had to endure while they were the
wards of the nation. The Indian loves
life as we'll as those whose means of en-
joyment give it greater zest. Those
cannot be trivial evils which he braves
death to escape. The treatment of the
Indians is a disgrace to the country and
the late massacre of the poor, tortured
savages deserves the reprobation OF civil
lied nations Gen. Sherman is indignant
because the people persist in calling 1t a
massacre. What other word fittingiy
describes it?

The election of Matt Carpenter to the
U. S. Senate is a victory of Carpenter
over the republican party. Nominated
and elected by the party in power, he is
the last man whom tue politicians would
pu1slve6sss, l1beraIIty and brilliancy has
made him favorite with every one who
admires these qualities. A cloud hung
over his republicanism and the machine
sought to make it the winding sheet of
his hopes. The band of twenty-five who
unfalteringly chung to Mr.. Carpenter did
so from personal attachment to the man,
and not because they felt that the repub-
lican party owed him debt. Mr.. Car
penter goes into office under as favorable
auspices as did Senator Cameron. Demo
Gratis as well as republicans throughout
the state were enthusiastic in his favor,
and the pressure brought to bear upon
representatives by this united sentiment
of the people was a source of strength to
him which the other candidates lacked.
Carpenter is the peoples choice; he
should be the peoples representative.
Democrats have no reason to expect IA
vors from Mr.. Carpenter nor can they
expect him to act in opposition to his
party, except when the good of the coun-
try demands it. The good will of the
people which manifested itself through
out the state irrespective of party, if it
did not add single unit to his strength
in the caucus. is to be as highly priced
and cherished as the interests of the par
ty through which h achieved success.
1t should give him a higher estimate of
his duties to the state than to be driven
III party harness. Mr.. Carpenter owes
nothing to the democratic party, as such.
He owes great deel to the people whose
choice he was without making question
of party affinity or party loyalty. The
people reioiced at his election. The
hosannas of the republican party had in
them tinge of hypocrisy and touch
of bitterness. Carpenter is the peoples
successful candidate and their good is
the only harness" he should don.

THE PENSION BILL.

The Pension Bill has received the sig
nature of the President and has become
q law. Through this bill pensions are
eaualized 1t will draw from $50, OO0,o
to 800, 900, 600 from the treasury OF the
United States. 1t is SO common to ap-
pear gratifed at every new evidence Of
the nations generosity to the soldier,
that scarcely word of remonstrance was
raised against the contraction of SO
large debt. If the government were
not SO deeply in debt, nobody could COM
plain Of the justice of the law. But IN
the present state of circumstances, when
economy and retrenchment are impera-
lively demanded, this vast outlay, uncall-
ed for by any pressing necessity is to say
the least, unwise.
AS the law stood, unless the claim for
a pension was made within five years,
after the right to the pension accrued,
the pension was made payable from the
time the claim was filed. As the law
now stands, pensioners get ''back pay"
Or in other words, if every one entitled
to pension draws his pay from the time
the disease or disability was contracted
through which he is entitled to a pension.
1t is quite easy to see the equity OF the
law, but the objections to it are twofold.
1st. A very small portion OF the
amount Justly due the pensioner through
the operation of this law, will reach him.
Claim agents will gobble up the major
part of it. They will soon flock to the
feast, circulars will be literally distribut-
ed and their pockets will grow plethoric.
End. The true purpose of pension
is to furnish disabled soldiers with a
means of providing for their wants. This
'back pay" pension looks considerably
like an additional bounty. They manag-
ed to provide for themselves up to the
time of receiving pensions and since then
the government has cared for them. The
government is being a little too generous
in providing for wants which no longer
exist. If it were an increase in pension
to meet an increase of wants there could
be no objection to it.
Now that the bill has become law, 9
special appropriation will be necessary
III order to enable the authorities to meet
its requirements. The duty of every
body, is to prevent this fund from being
diverted from its object and into the
pockets of the harpies known as ''claim
agents. The commissioner of pensions
will issue circulars which pensioners cal
with little difficulty fill out and return
This is about ali that is required to Sc
cure the arrears of pension. Give the
cold shoulder to every claim agent ant
your own receipts will be larger and yor
will prevent crowd of parasites from
fattenino on the government

The usual serenity of this uneventful
neighborhood was disturbed yesterday
morning by the intelligence Of the terri
bic death of Mary Jirovec, a girl II or 8
years of age. 1t appears that she and
her mother were at work III the woods

the former swung around, fastening the
unsuspecting victim between itself and
log that was lying near by. Ia this ex-
tremely distressing situation she remain

with a strength born of despair, managed
to set her free. This happened about 4
o'clock III the afternoon Tuesday. With
one OF her knee joints crushed to Jelly,
faint with the loss of blood and tortured
with pains so intense that she begged to
be put to death, the poor creature ling
cred along till II o'clock that night, then
death came to her relief.
