Stock Market-Irish sympathy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Stock market strong
and speculation very firm, the intense furry
or panic of yesterday having entirely disap-
peared. Prices advanced steadily from the
opening till noon when an improvement from
II to u per cent. had been established.
A dispatch from Pottsville, Pa, says there
will be a general turning out of Irish Nation
alists throughout the State tomorrow. AT a
recent meeting of the Nationalist at Maho-
Dey city it was resolved to take up the cause
of Daritt, Hitter and DAILY. In nearly every
village, town and city in the coal and iron
country are lodges of Irish Nationalist or
branches of The Fenian Confederacy and
meetings of these organizations have been
called for tomorrow. Leading officers of the
order of Hlbernians say hundreds of men,
bers are anxious to depart Immediately to
Canada to invade the British Possessions in
retaliation for the arrest and Imprisonment of
the three advocates of Ireland's liberty.

1t has been generally understood that the
British force now operating near Cabul,
would intlict summary punishment on the
Afghans for their t-eachery in disregarding
solemn treaty obligations by the murder of
the English representatives, and recent events
prove the belief to have been we'll founded.
Forty-nine Afghans were recently hanged for
completely in the late massacre of Major Cav
agnari and suite, and the Ameer himself is
likely to receive condlgn punishment at the
hands OF General Roberts for having instiga-
ted the outbreak.

The news from Leadville to-day is of a very
exciting character, and shows that the situa-
ton of affairs in Colorado calls for some
stringent measures on the part of the State
authorities. Four men have lately been
taken from the Leadville Jail and launched
into eternity through a hangman's moose. If
these victims of mob law who are undoubt-
eddy bad men, had been at large, their lynch
extent justiiable, but as they were already
incarcerated, and in a fair way to be pun
ished for their offences, it would have been
much more conducive to the preservation of
peace had the law been permitted to take its
course.

The San Francisco papers are discussing the
propriety of introducing the study of cooking
in the public schools Of California. Logic,
beans, geography, yeast powders, political
economy, lard, moral ethics and salt rising
bread are each to be made the subject Of
searching investigation and no young lady or
gentleman will be given a diploma without
satisfying the school commissioners hat he
or she is as proficient in paring potatoes as in
explaining fractions. The public school sys-
tenn in America is rapidly nearing perfection.

INDIAN COMMIsSIONER's REPORT.

The suggestions embodied in the annua
report of the Indian COMMISSIONS to tn
Interior Department at Washington seen
eminently wise and practicable. 1t is recon
mended that the Utes be removed from thei
present reservation to the Indian Territory
where they can be kept under proper surveil
lance and where a possible outbreak could b,
squelched without the danger and expense
incident to a campaign in a wild and I'm
known country, Astounding in natural de-
fences and affording no field for the appli.
ances of modern warfare. But why recon-
mend the removal of the Utes alone9 Why
not complete the good work by the removal
to one section of the country of all the In
dams, and thus relieve the thousands of peo-
pie in the frontier States and Territories Of
the continual dread of Indian atrocities?
1t is without the range of human possibility
for that portion of the army detailed to the
Indian service to prevent or suppress, without
serious loss of life, the periodical outrages of
disaffected savages. The only sensible and
certain method by which the government can
put a stop to these frequent depredations is
to remove every tribe, whether untamed or
semi-civilized to a reservation where they can
be kept under a proper subsection. Those
present living in the Indian Territory are
prosperous and contented and there is no
reason why the Sioux, Nez Perces, Bannacks.
Shoshones and the smaller tribes of this Ter
ritory, as we'll as the Utes, should not be re-
moved to the same section Of country. If
necessary a Gordon Of military posts might be
established to compel their submission to the
wishes of the government. Were this idea
carried into effect, the necessity for having
camps and forts scattered all over the West
would cease to exist, and instead of mourning
such enormou campaign expenses and jeop-
ardizing the lives of so many soldiers every
time the savages take a notion to 60 out on a
marauding expedition, it would be necessary
only to keep a vigilant eye on a comparatively
limited scope Of country, where all offenders
against law and order could be easily captured
andinexpensively punished. Ifthe government
acts favorably On the recommendation of the
Commissions in regard to the Utes' removal
the beneficial results will be so apparent that
there is little doubt that a similar disposition
will be made of the other tribes.
In that event vast sections of now uninhab-
tied country would be opened up for settle
ment, prospecting would become a general
because a safe employment, capital would
flow in, mines now unknown would be devel-
oped, and thousands of families now living in
wretched poverty in over-crowded cities OF
the East would cast off their fears and come
to the great Western paradise whose mining,
stock raising, numbering and agricultural
facilities are so eminently adapted to promote
the advance of civilization.
