thousand ponies The agents, although zeal
Gus men, were poweress to check the out
rage. The Democratic Congress had, by the
posse cOmmitdtus act, made il crime for the
military to interfere to stop the dcpredations,
so the pundering of these Indians by bands
of white thieves went on. As to the matter
of redress Gen. Crook says:
"For all this there is no redress whatever,
As / understand the law we cannot even seize
Indian property when found in the hands of
wcll-known thieves. The Indian owner has
the privilege Of suing for recovery in the
State courts but this would prove in most
cases to be a very shadowy consolation.
It seems to me to be an odd feature of our
judicial system that the only people in this
country who have no rights under the law
are the original owners of the soil. An Irish
man, German, Chnaman, Turk, or Tartar
will be protected in life and property, but the
Indian commands respect for his rights only
so long as he inspires terror for his rifle"
Gen. Crook believes that this policy Of in
justice should be stopped, and advocates the
following line of action:
"The true, the only policy to pursue with
the Indian is to treat him just as one should
white man if he makes war upon our from
tier settlements, punish him; but after he
has been reduced to submission, protect him
in life and property. Keep white thieves
from pluudering him let him see that peace
means progress; that he has market for
every pound of beef and every hide and ov-
cry sack of grain, and my word for it he will
make rapid advances. Self-intercst will i'm
pei him to initiate us, to send his children to
school, to adopt clothing perhaps our Ian

cattle and horses, and eventually to qualify
himself for citizenship"

time ago for Sl22, 600, but the legislative
council vetoed the bill sanctioning the under

One result of the Ohio election, which may
turn out to be the most important of all, has
not yet been noted. The Democratic Legis-
lature of Ohio, previous to the last general
election, redistrcted the State in such way
as to add at least four to the number of Dem
ocratic members of Congress, as compared
with the previous arrangement. Now, il
will be perfectly easy for the Republicans to
upset the Democratic gerrYmander, and make
new apportionment, which will prevent the
reelection of Ewing to the House of Repre-
sentatiyes next year, and reduce tho number

A good deal of stir has been created at
Chicago by charge of plagiarism against DR..
Lorimer, the noted Baptist divine, who was
formerly pastor of the fremont Temple
church. Boston. A recent sermon of DIR.
Lorimers bore striking resemblance to one
preached by DIR. Joseph Parker of London.
When confronted with the fact DR.. Lorimer
said, in explanation, that he was great adj
mirer of Dr. Parker, and that his mind had
become 70 saturated" with his style and Ian
guage that he had unconsciously Nppropriat-
ed his words. The fact, however, that the
manuscript of DR.. Lorimer's sermon reveals a
number of changes and interlmeations, the
obliterated portions corresponding precisely
to DR.. Parker'S language, gives the case a bad
look
