It is found that the troops sent in pursuit
OF the escaped Cheyennes cannot, with any
hope of success, attack the Indians in their
lntrenchnent at Park Ridge, aud reinforce
ments have been sent for. Meanwhile the
military authorities have projected scheme
by which it is hoped the capture may be
effected without bloody conflict. RED
CLOUD, the oldSioux Chief, has been induced,
after some coaxing, to permit q select COM
mittee Of fifteen from his warriors
to penetrate, if they can, the camp
of the hostiles and esdeavor to draw
them out of their retreat If this can be
accomplished By moral suasion, so much the
better for all parties; but if the Cheyennes
persist in dcfyiag the troops the said Select
Committee will be authorized to employ
somo other means to accomplish the result.
Lieut.. DoDD has started on this mission to
the Pine-Ridge Agency, and it is hoped that
the policy Of setting Indian to catch Indian
will put speedy end to this troublesome
campDipu.

The caucus vote for Gen. Oe1EsBr was far
below the number of members who desired
his nomination ard had informed him they
intended TO support his reelection, but there
were score Of tinlid souls who did not pos
less The courage OF their convictions. A
close canvass on Wednesday and Thursday
showed that OG1EsBg's cctua1 strength was
eight CT ten short IF q majority of the cau-
Gus. There were forty-six or forty-seven
members who would vote for OGIEsD1 if he

ment for its officers to interfere when the
principles break out into overt acts against
peace and good order" This has served as a
foundation for subsequent notable utterances
on the meaning Of the constitutional prohl-
bition Of Congressional interference, and
would indicate that this prohibition was
never designed TO cut off any regulation of
social relations deemed necessary to preserve
good order and maintain the forms and
authority of government. The marriage re-
lation is not only one of the most sacred but
also one Of the most useful clements in
society and government, and oil tho States
Of the Union at all times have prohib-
tied the practice of polygamy as SUBJ
versive Of good order, public morals,
and the welfare of the community.
The same considerations demand of the
General Government similar regulation as
to territory under its exclusive jurisdiction.
Congress has the same right to prohibit po-
lygamous marriages that it has to pass any
other law of general police character to
prevent results that are deemed hurtful to
society and the State. Having passed such
law, which is approved by the practice Of all
the States and by the experience Of all civili-
zation, religious conviction cannot be plead
ed as an excuse for the violation thereof; if
that doctrine were admitted, then MI laws
could be violated with impunity under q sim
liar plea, and the General Government might
as well abandon the effort to regulate and
control the local affairs Of such people MS
should elect 10 reside IN United States terri
tory not yet organized into State Govern
ment. The Supreme Courts decision is
founded in reason, and must be made the !
basis Of 3 crusade against .A1ormonism; but !!
such crusade, sure to succeed in the end, can
afford to bo tolerant of what has transpired

SALARIED JUSTICES.

Mr.. A1osE WENTWORTH might make {
better uso Of his position in the Illinois Leg
islature than by Introducing d bill to pay
Chicago Justices Of the Peace salary, and
saddle upon the city the expense of support
ing their establishments. He wants Justices
paid $4,000 year, with an allowance Of
$50 for clerk, pay for their ofice-rent,
attendance, etc, in lieu Of which they shall
turn over tho fees to the city. There are
nineteen Justices in Chicago, andthe expense
\of each Office would amount to not less than
$1,000 year under MIR: WESrwoRrH's plan,
or an aggregate annual increase Of about
100000 in the city expenses. It would not
be safe to estimate any offset in fees, for the
Justices would not then care particularly
whether the fees were ever collected or not. A
good many reforms are needed in the admins
tration Of Justices offices in this city, but wa
fail to see how WExTwoRrn's proposition will
lead up to any one Of them It would result
in the establishment Of nineteen new Courts,
with the usual paraphernnlia and append
ages, and the creation OF new and extensive
set Of salaried officials. It would enlarge
the field Of local politics and increase the
power Of the ward hummer to precisely the
extent Of the new officials and the amount OF
new city expenditures. Every Justice would
demand largo apartments, with costly fur.
niture and pretentious fixtures. Beginning
with one clerk, the otiunl cum Dig. of the new
position would soon require additional clerks,
bailifs, janitors, etc. There would be a
foundation whereon to build mountain Of
expense. A stated salary for every Justice
would also be a leveGng process that would
place them all on the same plane,
whether good or bad, lazy or in
dustrious, drunk or sober. Under the
present practice, a handwriting Jus
hce Of the Pence, who commands the
confidence Of the community, can earn from
$4,000 to $4,000, perhaps, and the Office is
sufficiently remunerative to attract good law
yers and men Of certain ability. Once
attach the salary Of $4,000 to the position,
with no legitimate way Of making it yield
anything more to the occupant, and no good
lawyer or man Of fair ability fit for the place
can be induced to accept an appointment,
while the Office will become bait for bum
ners and cheap politicians. The change
"ould only result in an increased expense to
he community, while it would degrade the
'fice itself, and increase the abuses that
l1reedy attach to the trial and disposition of |
he minor civil suits. A1r. WESrwoRTH's !

APPROACHES 70 THE PARKS.


One Of the bills before the Legislature in
which Chicago has lively interest is that
introduced by Senator BASH, providing that
the Park Commissioners. with the consent
Of the Common Council, may acquire the
same control over some one street leading to
the parks as they exercise over their own
bouleyards and driveways. There ought to
be no opposition to the purpose Of this bill,
and it should be passed just as soon as the
Legislature is satisfied that it Is in shape to
secure the end in view most expeditiously
and cheaply. The people Of Chicago hope
that the bill may mature into law early
enough to enable the South Park Commits
sioners to extend their jurisdiction over
Michigan avenue and provide re-
spectacle driveway for next summer. The
Cook County delegation, and such out
side influence as can properly DO
brought to bear, should assist Senator BASE
in passing the1neasure at the earliest moment
possible. The people of Chicago have spent
enormous sums of money on their various
parks, and, with the single exception of Lin-

reached without enduring personal torture,
aud risking life and limb in the effort to 20
there over di1apidated payements and through
elongated mud-holes. It has come to be
universal conviction that the only way in
which 4 respectable and comfortable ap-
proach to these parks eau be provided and
is by making some one street in
each division Of the city p& Of the park
system, SO far us police regulation is con-
cerned. This is the only practicable method
for protecting such thoroughfaro from the
rapid destruction Of heavy teaming, which
seeks the particular street that has
been most recently improved It is use
less to- expect the owners Of abuttine
property to renew pavement every year or
two for the benefit of park-visitors: they
1ill not do it. Nor is there any authority
:or doing this ut the expense of tho city, and
t would be unwise to establish any such
;ystem. The Park Commissioners, however,
Ire able to keep their own dzivewnys in ad-
nirable condition at small outlay by ex- |
iuding heavy teauaing, and by constant
yatching and timely repairs. The streets
hat would be selected for park approaches,
uch as Michigan avenue in the South Di-
ision, aro already filed, graded, and curbed,
nd the cost of improvement would be CON-
small in the first instance, and |
carcely an appreciable addition to the gen.
raj park expenses thereafter. The unanim-
y with which the people of Chicago de-
land the privilege asked by Senator BAsHs
i'll, along with the fact TINT the matter does
OF specially concern tho remainder Of the
tate, ought to secure the prompt passage Of
IL measure.

simply reaching out your hand, you Gun take
| what he has. we will not go further into
particulars and inquire what effect the
I destruction or modification Of the doctrine
| of rewards and punishments has had upon
| the people. It has always been, to our way
of thinking, curious argument, which has
been advanced in some quarters, that the
promise of terrible hell for the wicked has
had little or no effect upon the people who
believed in it. The same argument has been
advanced in favor Of the abolition Of capital
punishment, but not always with marked
success.
The total extinction of religious belief is
not, however, the sole, or even the chief,
cause of Nihilisu, Communism, and Soclal-
ism, though DR.. DRAPER makes it to be So
There is another cause which he almost un-
covered but slurred over finally and buried
under monstrous misstatement. " Underthe
Italian system" he says, Sthe population of
Europe had not doubled in a thousand years. "
The implication is here clearly that the
italian system was responsible for the slow
growth OF population. But just the oppo-
Site OF Ills is true. lue 1GEI1Nu SJSlelu LUIS
encouraged the growth Of population ever
since it has been system. The slow rate
Of increase In the Middle Ages was due to
constant wars, looss morality, and gross
ignorance Of hygiene. Since these causes
have been in part removed, the Italian system
has had full play, and it has made tho |
population of those countries in Europe con-
trolled by it increase very fast. 1t has en-
couraged early marriages, nrd made child
bearing religious duty. The consequence
has been great addition to the population, I
and an enormous pressure upon the lind.
The fact that Communism has developed
more fully in Catholic than in Protestant
if it be fact, is due to the inau-
ence Of the Church in this respect more than
to any decline of religious faith DR..
DRAPER may reasonably urge that he was
not discussing the ection Of laws of nopula-
ton, but the political effect of the decline Of
religious faith. He might well, however,
'inco he cut SO near on important and Curl
JUS truth, hnve fairly brought it out.
