ing in numbers, as is generally be-
lieyed, but are sensibly and meas
urably increasing. The Investigation
was decided upon last year by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
and has been prosecuted diligently by
the medical attachee of the Indian
Bureau, DIR. George Kellogg. The
rate of increase has not been deter
mined, but the statistics examined by
DR.. Kellogg, as furnished from the
seventy odd agencies under the control
Of the government, put the fact be-
yond dispute that the births among
the tribes are in excess of the deaths
from normal causes. Allowance is
made even for death FROM dissipation
and, in fact, for every ordinary cause
of death among the Indians except
gun-shot wounds or Injuries in battle.
The census of the Indians shows
total of about 10000.

women nursing their infants, and
with young girls gossiping among
themselves or flirting with the
young men; tho sidewalk and

children screaming and shouting at
play, while the scene is lit up by
the brilliant lights Of the myriad
liquor saloons.
Perhaps the most noticeable fea-
ture of this tenement house dis
trict is the extraordinary number
Of liquor saloons it contains. At
a casual glance one would say
that there was a grog shop to
every five houses; on one block
there are no less than seven. These
are different in appearances from
the German larger-boer saloons Of
the lower districts as the people
who patronize them are from the
German beer drinkers. Instead
Of the rooted, dark basement,
with its modest little counter and
it's sombre proprietor dispensing
beer from behind: one sees large,
snowy stores, brilliantly lighted
without and gorgeous within, with
long mirrors rejecting the array
Of shining and vari, colored glasses
ranged along the counter.

tenement house people. Hardly

GAMBLING.-From one end Of the
country to tie other, there seems to
be a determination to put stop to
this the vilest Of all practices the
one which mikes friends enemies,
and sheds the blood Of good men on
all sides. Half of the sudden and
dangerous encounters between sportive
characters, spring up over the gam
bling table. There is law which
provides for the punishment of those
who follow the practice, and it is che
duty of certain officials t@see thai it
is executed. Ia our country and
town this evil was some time ago car
ried on to great extent, but Of late
We have heard nothing Of it. So We
hope that the atmosphere hereaoouts
is being purified, and that cur grand
jury may be spared a very unpleasant
duty.-BarnreU Sentinel.

A VERY curious movement is on
foot in Elmira, New York. 1t is no
less q matter than erecting o monu-
ment to the memory of Adam-not a
modern Adam, but Adam, the original
boss sinner Of the earth. Rev. Thomas
Z. Beecher is responsible for the idea.
Doubtless 1t was suggested to him by
reading Mark Twain's description of
the tomb Of Adam, to be found in SIN
nocents Abroad" Indeed, Mark
Twain Is to write the epitaph for the
marble shaft, which will be rs feet high.
Many Of the prominent citizens round
about Elmira are earnestly at work In
furtherance of the enterprise, and there
viii be a grand and impressive dedica-
ton. Monuments to many Others of
the ancient heroes Of the bible are now
in order.

cuANDLEnS SUCCESSOR.

The national republican committee
will find itdiaicult to I'LL the void Gre
ated by the death OF its chairman, the
late Senator Chandler, who contributed
50 largely toward republican success in
1876. But the committee is fortunate
in having the colleague and co-worker
Of the great political leader as an ap-
propriate successor to the important
duties and great responsibilities that
will soon devolve upon the chairman Of
that committee. He is ex-Gov. r. c.
Mccormick, the present secretary Of
the committee. He Is ma.chless in ex-
ecutive ability, an indefatigable work
er and Of undaunted courage. There
is none SO appropriate as Gov. Nc.
Cormick to succeed one, who IL permit
ted speak from the tomb, would de.
mand In emphatic tones the selec-
ton of the Napoleon in political war
fare he who stood by the fearless repub-
lican leader In the dark days of 1867,
never resting until Rutherford B.
Hayes had been installed as president
Of the United States.
Then let there be no hesitation as t.
the choice OF n who shall wear the
honored mantel that has been torn BY
death from the stalwart shoulders OF
Michigan's great son, but let his col
league upon the committee, the bold
and experienced Mccormick, BIZ
| charged with the duties of executive
officer for the great conflict of 1880.

WHEN the Martini Henry rifle was
substituted in the British army for the
Snider and the Enfield weapons, says
an exchange, vast numbers Of the lat
ter were stored in arsenals, pending a
determination by the government as to
what use should be made of them. 1t
WAS finally concluded to sell them In
small or large quantities, according to
demands, for whatever they would
bring. Meantime the turbulent class
es of Ireland's population had been on
their good behavior for u season, and
the government, with probably impol.

Turkey represents the bone
in the jealous misunderstanding
Of the EUROPEAN powers. She is the
| spoils over which the lion and the bear
are growing and may possibly soon
fight.
II it were not for these same jealous.
les, Turkey in Europe would soon have
no existence. But the powers cannot
agree upon a distribution Of the real
estate, provided they should agree to
turn land grabbers.
No power covets Turkey more than
Russia. She seeks a coast on the Med
iterranean sea as well as an additional
Slavic population. And then no nation
is more Jealous Of that covetousness
than England.
Both have possessions In Asia and
both are desiring to extend their boun-
DIARIES. They are therefore carefully
watching every movement of each 9TH

gained.
So far England has played a bold and
successful hand. At the risk Of waging
a war she dictated the terms Of the
treaty Of Berlin and afterwards forced
q war with Ali Khan, the late ameer
Of Afghanistan, the result of which /.
