This is compound remedy, prepared wit

remedy the necessities of the people in mala

The Various Routes-

The Various Routes.
New York, Oct. 30,-Arosemena,
the new minister from Colombia, who
was presented to the president u few
days ago. says that none of the surveys
either Of the Panama or N~icarauguan
routes seem to have been sufficiently
complete and careful TO warrant the
selection Of either of those routes in
preference TO the other. Both he be-
lieves feasible, however, the principal
question involved being simply that Of
expense.
Panama belongs to the confederation
which Senior Arosemena represents.
and he is an advocate Of the Panama
route. He says that the government
and people of that state take deep
interest in the discussion now going
on, but they are debarred from taking
any active steps in the matter by rea-
son of the concession already made to
Lieut.. Wyse, which forms the basis Of
De Lesseps' plan of action.
Senior Arosemena has given-t the ques-
ton much personal attention. He
wrote a pamphlet on this question
nearly thirty years ago, advocating the
construction Of canal across the 18TH
mus. The party of engineers lately sent
out by De Lesseps TO make a new sur
vey of the Isthmus, Is already on the

Berlin: The government is narrowly
watching events in France. The
Vossische Zsitung insists that Won
Hohenlohe, ambassador to France, has
been here and visited Bismarck on
Monday.
Boston: DR.. Daniel F. Kimball and
Madame Caroline c. Goodrich, recently
convicted of being principals in the
Jenny Clark case, were this afternoon
sentenced, the former receiving six
years in the state prison, and the latter
ten years in the house of correction.
1t is stated that Kimball, in order to
avoid the sentence, attempted to cut
his throat.
London: The first secular day of
May and November being the days on
which the bank of England makes up
its balances, they are observed as holt
days in the bank and on the stock ex-
change. Consequently no business is
doing at either place.
The following members Of the cabinet
will attend the banquet of the Lord
Mayor: Lords Be%aconsfield, Cairns,
Salisbury, and Manners, Viscount
Cranbrook, Sir Stafford Northcote, r.
Asheton Cross, Frederick A. Stanley,
Sir Michael H~icksbeach, William II.
Smith, Viscount Sandon and the Duke
Of Northumberland.
London: The American gentleman
and lady, who were attacked and rob-
bed in a railway carriage, on the Alta
Italia line a few days ago, were Mr..
and Mrs. Bacon, not Boron. The rob
berry occurred between Alta and Yer
Ia. One of the two robbers has been
arrested.
Elliot and Boyd have made the first
deposit of fifty pounds for their boat
race. Elliot still leaves fifty pounds on
deposit for a race with Hanlan, as he
has received no official notification OF
Hanlan's forfeiture of the champion
ship. Elliot claims that he ought to
receive information direct from Hanlan
as to whether be intends to proceed
with the match during the next few
days, as plenty of time has been al.
lowed.

The Wyse route would include a very
deep cut through the mountains or a
short tunnel. 1t is not yet known,
however, whether a tunnel will be re-
quired under any circumstances, it
being possible that some depression or
pass exists across the mountain range,
which can be taken advantage of at a
great saving of expense. The facts
about this matter will be better known
after the survey is made by the engi-
neers under NJ. Blanchet.

THAT government Of ours seems
disposed to accept the Ute murderers
Of Agent Meeker and his employees as
prisoners and forgive that part of the
tribe entirely that lived at White river.
Apparently, no account is to be taken
Of the soldiers that were killed and
wounded at Milk creek. The govern
ment cares but little for the lives of
soldiers. They are paid to fight, you
know, and are expected to be killed.
Besides the government can get plenty
of them, anyhow, and the loss of a few
won't be felt.

PEACEFUL

In our Geographic dispatches this
morning there is detailed character
istic incident of the Ute Indians. They
firmly believe they have so far defeated
the troops, and have faith in their abil-
ity to whip them right along. The
Utes cannot understand why General
Merritt with his large command should
remain idle on White river. His in
activity is taken for cowardice. Hence
their refreshing proposition to allow
him to return homeward IL he will give
up his arms and ammunition TO the In
dians. OF course the offer, while most
charitable and friendly, was rejected.
1t was the kindest act on the part OF
the Utes since the outbreak, and it was
really too bad that Gen. Merritt hadn't
orders that would allow him to present
the Utes with his war materials.
Temporizing with Indians has no
good effect. They are not themselves
given to that new principle, known on
ly to modern warfare, viz. strategic
inactivity. They always strike while
they have the disposition and the pow
er to strike. They expect their foes to
do likewise. A failure to do so is taken
as an indication of fear, and they be-
come arrogant accordingly. This feel
Ing begets a contempt for the govern
ment and its troops, and the contempt
spreads among all tribes.
There Is need for decisive action at
the front. The troops should TO- up
on the hostiles as soon as a reasonable
time elapses after the demand for their
surrender. or course they will refuse.
II the troops would have prisoners they
must capture them. II this plan be not
followed, let the troops he withdrawn.
Better that than have them remain us
objects of contempt in the eyes of the
cheeky Utes. And then the hostile In
dams are either right or wrong. II
right, the troops should be ordered
home at once. If wrong, the troops
should be ordered to advance. Rut

taken.
We have no patience with a peace
commission to investigate and decide
upon the guilty parties to the outbreak.
Some n said it was trying Agent
Meeker after his death, and this is true.
The commission can get but an er.partt
statement, at best, and that from the
most accomplished liars known in the
prevaricating nineteenth century.
The mere fact of an inquiry puts the
outbreak on a respectable standing, fol
it bears a presumption that the Indi
ans have had some cause for their muir
ders. and the commission wishes to as
certain the suficiency and validity OF
that cause.
BY a gang of well trained and primed
witnesses the Indian will prove, to
their own satisfaction ut least, that
they were driven to eight. They will
then c%haritably offer to call the thing
square, giving the whites the percent
age on the number of killed and wound
ed.
A peace commission means compro.
mise. Compromise g humiliation.
Humiliation means arrogance on the
part of the Indians. Arrogance means
trouble for the future. And future
trouble means that the present system
Of dealing with Indians is a CHASTITY
failure.
