The Constitutional Convention yesterday
struck out the provision requiring all taxes to
be paid before a citizen should be permitted to
vote, and adopted an amendment providing
that elections should be held in New Orleans
only once in four years. The report Of the
Committee on Homesteads was discussed at
length and finally recommitted. The debate
DEVELOPED that the Convention favored lib
eral exemption. The ordinances on public
education and parochial affairs and bounda-
ries were then adopted on third reading.

Sitting Bull is not alone in loneliness Inc
Indian agents behind him are equally Wild
with banker and feverish with expectation.
They want him back. II he returns there are
noble chances for cIvilzing and feeding and
educating him too numerous to mention
which cruel separation now deny, besides OPP
portunities for occasional patriotic upheavals
Of recommendation to the Department OF the
Interior, with intervals OF hiving plumber to
fill in, which tend to make an Indian agents
life light and blythesome. And 50 negotia-
tions are now pending which shall tend TO re-
move the difficulties In way OF the risky
savages return, and bring him once more In
our midst, as the PIC. would rapturously
| remark. The only obstacle Is the
means by which reconciliation can be effected.
To our mind these are simple. A general
massacre would answer. There Is nothing SO
convincing, so soothing, so pacifying and en-
during in effect upon the average Indians
mind as general massacre. A general mas
sacre fills all gaps in an Indian situation In a
manner hard to be excelled. But II this be
Objectionable, on the ground that the Indian
Is som etimes viclously inclined, being igno-
rant and low flung, to take q hand In O gen
eral massacre himself, and, of course, that
wouldn't dove recommend firm, I'M
swerving course of soap and spelling books.
Cruel and uncalied for as this may seem, it Is
really commendable method because Of Its
absolute certainty. An Indian may survive
a general massacre, but a persistent course
| of cleanliness and education Is bound to fetch
him in the end. He can't stand it, It strikes
| at the very foundation of his being, the ele-
ment Of his existence, and wipes him
out az one would wipe plate.
The atrocity is hardly justifable,
but must come In the end. Let the United
States remorselessly inflict Brown Windsor
| and primers on Sitting Bull, terminate this
narrowing question forever, and show the
| red man that, civilized as we are, the fiend is
| not yet tanned in our blood, and thatwe can
not be outraged with impunity. Let US do
this, but do not let us get him back with the
agents. 1t would be against all humanity.
Besides, they are rich enough already.
But stay! Why bring him back at all? We
| never have made Canada @ present. We
should make her one. Let us be generous,
whole-souled and open-handed. Let us give
her Sitting Bull, and bid her take him and
God bless her. We don't really need him.

Ex-Gov. William Allen, OF Ohio, died at
Chillicothe, O., yesterday, In the seventy
fourth year of his age. Gov Allen Familiarity
called "Old Bill Allen" was native OF Vir-
ginia. He moved to Ohio many years ago
that State about 1910. After his term was
over, Allen retired from politics, devoting
himself to his farm. For more than thirty
years he remained In this quiet retreat. In
1873, however, the Democrats OF Ohio, who
were looking around for an available candl-
date for Governor, selected "Old Bill Allen
as the best man, and nominated him. The
result showed their good sense. Allen was
successful, sweeping the State with the larg-
est Democratic majority known for twenty
years. In 1875 Allen was again nominated,
his opponent this time being Rutherford B.
Hayes. 1t was a hot and vigorous cam
paign. Allen was the representative OF the
so-called "Ohio idea" In favor of greenbacks
and opposed to the national banks. The lat
ter, he always claimed and apparently with
truth, made war on him in consequence. The
money power OF New York entered the cam
paign In earnest opposition to Allen, and aided
Hayes In the fight. The hard money Demo-
Gratis stayed at home and Allen was beaten.
It was to this victory that Hayes owed his
nomination to the Presidency by the Republi-
cans at Cincinnati. This defeat ended Aliens
political career for the second time. The old
hero retired to his farm, where he remained
until his death yesterday. Gov. Allen was an
uncle of Senator Thurman, and it was to him
that the latter owed his introduction to polit-
ical life.

Of all that Courtney and his hackers can say,
however, the suspicion turks in the public

is chargeable to Courtney. He has made
so many failures that confidence in his in.
tegrity is not perfect, by any means. The
true inwardness of the Chautauqua affair
