ment fatters himself that he can do 1t bet
ter than all his predecessors.
These Utes have been dealt with as o
s'nation." Very we'll; their offence, then, is
a national offence The whole 'snation" is
guilty of it it has broken its treaty, and
it has clearly sacrificed whatever that
treaty gave it. The government has
the undoubted right to deal with the tribe
or s'nation" as it chooses and it is its
duty to make such disposition of it as will
at least prevent any further outbreak. To
imprison or hang a few and coddle the rest
is not the true way. 1t has been tried and
has failed too often. The true way is to
break up the tribe. to scatter its members
to the Winds to place the different fam
lilies SO far apart that they shall entirely
lose their cohesion as tribe, and to place
them where they will have no power to roam,
where they will have to work or starve, and
where the men will, by force of circum-
stances and by the overwhelming force of
general example, become day laborers.
Wherever the Indians of California were
kept in tribes they made trouble wherever
the tribes were broken up and the families
were scattered they became presently harm
less and useful laborers, and so remained
until the Indian Bureau committed the great
wrong of dragging them away from their
work and forcing them into reservations to
be paupers against their will.

Putting . Head ON Them.

The independent young republicans who
sst out two or three weeks ago to scratch
MI. Cornells name from their State ticket
have encountered great deal Of contempt
from their party press for want which
seems at last in fair way of being sup
piled. 1t was alleged that they are persons
inconspicuous in the community, and that
nobody with public reputation to lose
would dare associate himself with their
fortunes. In short, they were reproached
with needing to have head put upon them
which the community would recognize.
Since these reproaches began circumstances
have been forcing Mr.. George William
Curtis into this relation to these young
men. An active identification with them
is logical sequence of his letter
to the republican convention in Richmond
county Meanwhile, pending the decision
of Mr.. Curtis, whether to take the lead of
movement which has been largely induced
by his own arguments, the Rev. DR.. Bellows
apparently has identified himself with it
very fully, not only by vigorous sermon
in defence of the exercise Of the ballot
according to the conscience of the individ-
ual voter, but also by the resolutions passed
few days ago by civil service reform
association of which he is the presiding
officer. These resolutions fatty declare
that the nomination of Mr.. Cornell "de-
serves the opposition Of all persons who
maintain in good faith, in the language of
President Hayes, that reform in our civil
service is the paramount necessity Of
American government" DR.. Bellows assur-
edly is not liable to the reproach of being
an inconspicuous citizen of New York.

Yesterday was the first day of naval

and an account of what was done there will

Mormon Relations with tn. utes.


One Of the reports from General Merritt's
advance mentions the finding Of white
mans body among the Indian dead in o
position which indicated that he had been
fighting in their ranks. This gives fresh
color to the accusation that the Utes have
had Mormon assistance in their hostilities
1t is a subject which deserves official in
vestigation. The great tribe of Ute Indians
consists of many separate bands, and oc-
cupies both slopes of the mountainous
ridge which forms the eastern rim Of the
Great Basin. Before the settlem ment
OF the Mormons in Utah, thirty years
ago, 1t was tribe of degraded habits and
inferior intelligence. It's elevation is due
mainly to association with the Mormons,
who carly baptized some of the promin nent
chiefs into their Church and acquired an
influence among them which was attempted
10 be used to the detriment of the United
States in the Mormon rebellion of 1867.
During Brigham Young's term as Governor
OF Utah Territory he united with that Office
the superintondence of Indian affairs, and
in that capacity scdulously impressed upon
the Indians that there was distinction in
friendliness toward them between Mormons
and other white men.

Our city is pleased with the visit of
company of militia from Georgia, whose
soldierly bearing is much praised by mill
tary critics. 1t is said that they propose to
extend their tour into New England, and
some severe comments are made upon the
alleged churlishness OF q railroad company
whose line runs In that direction for neg
lecting or refusing to offer them tree trans
portation ior the purpose. Such comments
sound unreasonable to us, and we cannot.
doubt that they are unsanctioned by our
Georgian visitors who, being gentlemen, cam
not possibly desire to travel as deadheads.
Unloss the stockholders of railroad COM
panies have knowingly vested discretion in
their directors to grant privileges OF the
kind the latter have no right to transport
pleasure parties iree Instead Of wasting
indignation upon the behavior OF the
railroad company in question these critics
had better quietly uustrap their pocket
books and themselves defray the expenses

The Communists In France.

Timid republicans in France appear to
be very unhappy over the fact that Paris
journal, which is understood to express the
opinions of NJ Gambetta, advocates full am
nesty to the exiled communists; the enemies
Of the Republic are filed with glee over the
same circumstance, and the Paris corre-
spondent of the London Times, who seems
to fancy that he is bringing the Republic
up by /hand, deprecates the shock
ing depravity of this proposition.
But M. Gambetta's political instinct is
worth more than the opinions of all these
people. He perceives and reasons ac-
curately. we believe, TO the point that the
exiled communists are dangerous only
while they are at New Caledonia: for
while there they constitute a grievance
for q certain part of the people I;
they are a safe basis Of criticism
against the government as continuing
the somewhat extreme severity Of its pred
ecessors, and the charges thus made, if
not true, have enough justice in them to
affect portion Of the people important by
its number. With the communists amnes-
tied that trouble is out of the way and
there Is no equivalent for then these
ssmartyrs," distributed over the country,
become insignificant nobodies or are re-
membered only us monuments of the
governments clemency Some Of them may
become the centre of agitations, but that
will be u small and evanescent evil. Their
case is much like that Of Blanqui, who re-
ceved enough votes to elect him to the
Assembly when he was prisoner of State,
but when he was pardoned that vote could
not be polled again.

The Latest About the Florida Canal.
Mr.. Lloyd Aspinwall, Governor Drew and
Mr.. w. H. Gleason have told HERALD
reporter all that is for the present to be
known concerning the Florida canal prof.
ect. It seems that there are two different
enterprises one contemplating ship
canal, the other a barge canal--and the
promoters of the latter oppose the former.
Governor Drew says if the ship canal COM
pany notifies him that it has the needful
money, and is ready to 60 ahead, he will call
an extra session OF the Legislature and rec
ommend the granting of charter. Mean
time, as is usual in such cases, there are
opposing interests railroads and others,
and unless the Florida people act when
they are asked to they may, after all, find
themselves without any canal at all. The
company which Mr. Aspinwall represents
seems to be satisfied OF tho feasibility OF
the ship canal project. The commerce of
the country demands that rather than o
barge canal.

civil Rights Of Catholic prissts.

We print on another page the full text
of recent decision of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania of great interest to the
Catholic clergy of that State at least, and
perhaps to the Catholic clergy of the
whole country. Rev. Mr.. Stack, pastor
of the Church of the Annunciation
in Williamsport. was summarily re-
moved from his charge by the Cath
olic Bishop aud forbidden to exer-
else his priestly functions, without any
statement of reasons or opportunity to be
heard. Father Stack applied to the local
Court Of Common Pleas for an injunction
against Bishop OHara and decree rein
stating him in his pastorate. The Com
mon Pleas Judge decided that the action of
the Bishop was unlawful, but. acting in
spirit of compromise, declined to reinstate
Father Stack. TO mark it's sense of the
illegality Of the removal the Court decreed
that the Bishop should pay his own costs.
Against this decision Bishop O'Hara ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court of the State.
and that tribunal has decided against him.
The only immediate result of this decision
O'Hara will have to pay not only his share
of the costs in the Court below, but the
whole cost of the proceedings in ap-
peal. But while the practical result is
so narrow the principle involved is Of
wide application. Had the removal of
Father Stack been lawful it would have
been unjust and absurd to saddle the
Bishop with any part of the costs. The
Supreme Court justlfes its decision on the
ground that the Bishop had no right to re-
move a pastor without making any specific
charges to which the pastor could reply.
If it were a mere ecclesiastical act the
State authority could take no cognizance of
property it was proper for the courts to in
quire whether the rules Of the ecclesiastical
body lave been complied with. "Any
rule. or proceeding" says tho Court,
whereby mans property is swept away
from him without hearing, trial or judg-
ment, or the opportunity for making known
his rights therein, is not according to the
law of tho land" And further on:--
sWithout reviewing the conflicting opin-
ions as to the ecclesiastical power Of the
Bishop, we cannot assent to the doc
trine that the pastors right OF property
may thus be stricken down and he be
prohibited from following his profession
without accusation and opportunity for
hearing or trial. If it is not contrary to the
laws OF the Church, which we are not pre-
pared to admit, it is contrary to the su-
preme law of the land" This decision
seems consonant to equity. 1t places the
rights of the Catholic clergy under the
broad, protection of the civil law if their
bishops should attempt to exercise arbi-
trary or tyrannical power.

Experiments in Seed Wheat,

There is an crrenous impression abroad
that wheat over a year old is not good for
seed, and many farmers are refusing seed
from the crop of 1877. TO test this matter
Geo. Robinson, of the firm of Pratt & Rob
inson took pot of earth and divided it
into four parts by imaginary lines, and
planted it in one quarter twenty grains of
Farbauit wheat, crop 1877; in another
part twenty grains of Pennington wheat
crop 1873; in another part twenty grains
of Mortified wheat, cop 1877; in another
part twenty grains of, Dakota county
wheat, crop 1878. All the wheat had the
same opportunity and is now up and
about two inchcs high. 1t all looks well
but the contrast is quite marked in favor
of the old seed. 1t came up quicker, more
of the kernels sproutcd and the stalks are
apparently mare stocky and vigorous
Therefore do not hesitate to SOW seed of
The crop Of Of 1877. 1t is undoubtedly bet
ter than that of last years crop.
