THE INDIAN RACE--WHAT To
DO WITH H.

Since the extinction of the Indian
race by whisky and civiliz alton, if not
by gunpowder and dynamite, is inevi-
table and ever slowly progressive, we
cannot see why processes of slow tor
ture are applied or why, now that the
Utes give a pretext, the red race is not
at once exterminated. The same argu-
ment that justified Gen. Sherman in
destroying and laying waste Georgia
and The Carolinas would justify Sher-
man in annihilating the whole Indian
race. There ls and can be but
one end of all race conflicts.
God made them lrreconciliable and IT.
remediable wherever contact makes
them inevitable, and why the philo-
sophicai destroyer of homes and farms
and cities and villages Of his own peo-
pie should not assert, fortiOri, the
inevitable and immediate necessity for
the extinction of the red and black
races we cannot understand. But there
Is much money for purveyers for the
army in the protraction of Indian
vitality. The War department will
soon recover control of Indian
affairs, and the blessed red men
give countless pret:xts for the
augmentation of the strength of the
United States army and for the multi
plicstion of nice places for officers.
The Indians now cost the country's
taxpayers about $1,000 each per an
mum, and all these vast sums flow
through the pockets of soldiers and
officers, or of rings that manage the
delectabie Iadian business. Now that
the miserable Utes, whose wretched
chief, George Washington, used
to lie about the streets of Den
yer drunken than the Capt. Grant
of 1s49 at Stockton, whose
identity with Gen. Grant is at last dis.
established-noythat these miserable
Utes, having 1000 braves, are to be
wiped odt, we do not see why the pro-
cess of determination, as approved by
Gen. Shermsn's theories and practices,
may not be applied to the whole hap
less red race, and let Us have done to-
day that which inevitably befaIs on
the morrow. The Indians court ex-
tinctioD, Sherman cxpounds it !;
let Sherman practice it. Or f

deeds in Georgia, Mississippi and the
CArolinas. let him employ the army in

are no more the Indian will die. II

such as were applied to the white race
OF the South, which was even put un-

lently murdero1s red men, there u

Texas will share the good fortune,
in this behalf, of other Ststes, is shown
by the rapidity with which profits of
Texas railways are augmented. The
increase of earnings of the Iron Noun

Pacific, deriving all its wealth from
these two Texas highways, is absolute
ly maIve'ous. For the three first

In vain; and while Austin will lag be-

nipotent Republicanism, whose theories
of finance and of tariffs are approved
even by the adroit and Democratic Mr..
Tilden. Very certainly splendid des-
tiny awaits Texas, and the cities of

For nearly fifty years old people have
talked of the wonders of the memo
rable November morning 1888, when
the universe seemed on fire and when
the stare, in sheets of living fame,
toppled from their places in the sky
and came swiftly as sun beams down
through brilliantly illuminated immen-
sitY, losing themselves in distant
oceans of infnity that encompass the
earth. Such was the SCI ming coming
of chaos in 1888, and yet it only hap
pened that Mother Earth, in her sub
lime fight through regions of trackless
space, crossed a crazy comets path or
that of nebulous world which was
still chaos and only beginning to
gather materials for another creation
aud another first chapter of Genesis.
The first morning of November, the
last day of our coming State
fair, the same splendid celestial
exhibition will be given, the astron-
omers say, and We are pleased
that the enterprising managers of the
fair, besides the fiery Bob Toombs,
propose to haye these celestial wonders
brought forward by Prof. Tice, and
made splendid incidents of the msjes-
tic exhibition.
