TURN THE INDIANS LOOSE.

The Philadelphia Times in face Of the Gov
ernment's failure to set at rest ambitious
boomers, favors turning the hOstiles loose.
Here is what it says:
There is renewal Of the cry of ''On to
Oklahoma" a cry which means simply that
lot Of adventurous scapegraces. under the
leadership Of a would-bc filibuster, propose
to invade an Indian reservation, in defiance
of law, and set up a government there for
their aggrandizcment, without regard either
to the commands Of the United States or the
rights Of the Indians. 1t is outrageous that
the preparations for this invasion have gone
SO far and that the plan is perfected in broad
daylight, with deliberate ayOwal on the
part of the conspirators of their willingness
TO fight the United States army as well as
the Indians. Since the Government seems
indisposed or unable to do anything by way
of prevention, it is perhaps well enough to
let hostilities begin as soon as possible, In
order that the Oklahoma idiots may have
the good thrashing which alone will cure
them and be sent back home to earn their
living in honest wayso

KANSAS IX0DIfIS.

The Chicago Inter- Oceaa says letters have
been received in this city within few days
from Governor st. John, Mrs. Comstock and
others laboring among the colored refugees In
Kansas, saying that there is great suffering
among these poor people. The arrivals con-
tinue at the rate Of about 80 per week, most
of them in destitute condition. The wealth
er is very cold, and as the capacity Of the
yrescnt barracks is greatly Overtaxcd, much
suffering is the result. Everything is being
done for their comfort that can be with the
limited means at command. Mrs. Comstock
and the Governor make especial appeals for
lumber. They need four carloads for the
purpose Of building new barracks. For
these they appeal to the generosity OF the
Chicago people, on whom they have never
vet called in vain. 1t Is not necessary to
dwell on the subject. The situation Is under
stood. The suffering is there. 1t should be
mitigated as much as possible. Lumber, OF
money to buy lumber, will greatly aid in the
good work. Persons desiring to contribute
either should communicate at once with eli.
Their Mr.. ii. n. Rust or T. W. Harvey. These
gentlemen will give their personal attention
to forwarding of contributions promptly, SC
that the building may be placed under way

sCHURz AND TIE INDIAN.

The Secretary OF the Interior in his annual
report reviews ut length the Indian problem.
He claims his policy has proved great sue
cess. The order or privilege granting the
Indians a chance TO do their own freighting
has worked well. Looking at the present
condition Of things it may be said without
exaggcration that, on the whole. the Iudian
situation is now more hopeful than ever he
fore. The desire Of the Indians TO maintain
friendly relations with their white neigh
bors; 10 20 to work for their own support
70 cultivate the soil to acquire permanent
homes TO have their children educated, and
to assimilatc themselves to the civilization
Of the country is growing stronger and more
general every day. Experience has strength
ened his conviction that the management OF
Indian affairs should continue to be en-
trusted TO the civil and not TO the military
branch Of the public service, and again
quotes with emphasis the conclusion of the
report of the peace commission Of 1878 signed
by Generals Sherman, Kearney. Terry and
Augur, in which these distinguished officers
Of the army said, among other things OF the
same purport, "If we intend to have war
with them tthe Indians) the Indian Bureau
should go TO the Secretary of War. III we in
tend to have peace, it should be in the civil
department.
Referring to the attempted invasion, the
Secretary says: The military are under in
structions to arrest all intrudcrs, but the
persistence with which these persons seem
determined to violate the orders of the Gov
eminent induces him to recommend that the
penalty OF Imprisonment be added to that of
q fine for disobedience Of the law in the case.

TRADE AND RAILROADS.

Trade on every side is fiOurishing aud rial
roads are earning enormously. Ii is sta'et
that the earnings Of the st. Paul road are
now at the rate Of L. per cent, and that those
of the Northwestern road show . per cent
monthly.
The Lake Shore is said to be short fully
5000 cars to accommodate its traffic. About
this number Of cars laden with -four and
grain are in or near Buffalo waiting for room
to move on the New York Central. The de-
lay in connection with other lines is sup
posed to be equally rs great.
Prices Of coal for western trade has been
advanced % cents per ton. and the demand
is greater than there are transportation facil.
tiles of companies. The demand for coal for
domestic purposes has largely increased
since cold weather set in, and the market is
now taking all the coal produced.
1t is stated from Boston that Vanderbilt is
about to complete the purchase of a block Of
Union Pacific stock at 40.
The Union Pacific railway earnings for the
first twenty-three days in November show
an increase Of S42s. 200.
Gould is reported to have bought largely

INDEPENDENCE.

Judge W. Z. Campbell. OF Wichita, may
have faults. as who has not. but we commend
him for his sterling common sense in an
nouncing his views, whether popular for the
moment or not. We remember that in a pub.
lie meeting in Wichita years ago he stood up
for honest money against the combined voice
of his neighbors. who had been whipped in
TO the support Of fiat money by such men as
Sam Wood. ct al. Now he comes out with a
long letter in the EAGLE against the Okiaho-
ma boom, which has its headquarters in
Wichita. He gives reasons for his opinion,
but we have space but for one, and that is
sufficient:

TEACHER FOR STATE PRINTER.

Probably no man in Kansas il more descry-
ing Of party recognition, certainly no man
has more honestly and faithfully earned the
respectand confidence OF the Republican par
ty Ofthe state than 4. Dwight Thacher, e .itor
of the Lawrence Daily journal. For nearly
twenty years he has pulled in the harness
without a finch or balk and he has not been
q light worker either. A man endowed with
gifts us an orator that would render him con-
spicuOus In any arena, and as writer who
never decends to the mediocre, he has held
to his work, cOntented that others should
boast the hOnors and emolumcnts of the
party. His friends now propose to ask the
next legislature 10 elect him State Printer.
Whatever preferences members may have
no one can deny that which We above claim.
Gen. Web Wilder in the st. Joe Gazette in
alluding to this matter says and truthiully:
ct. Dwight Thacher, Of the Lawrence
Journal, Is candidate for State Printer in
Kansas. His services have been long, faith
full, able, effective He is the best Republic
can orator in Kansas, and has given his SER
vices in every campaign ever made in the
I1c uas NOTkcu ncTu rs euftot
has remained poor, never having held the
offices that have money in them. His char
actcr is the highest and there is no Office that
he is not worthy to fill. We do not believe
the people will allow such man to be beaten.
The present Printer has held the Office four
terms, and that is long enough for any,
body
To which the Atchison Champion adds:
"Mr. Thacher has been citizen Of Kansas
for nearly quarter OF n century. and prom
inently identified, during the whole Of that
period, with our political, material and ed
ucational interests. He is a ripe scholar. a
vigorous writer. and one Of the most ready,
eloquent and forcible speakers in the State.
No citizen has contributed more than has
MIR. Thacher to the building up Of Kansas,
and to the work of educating our people in
healthy. aggressive Republieanism. lie has
never been an importunatc place hunter;
his deserving has been far greater than his
rccompensc. either in honor or profit;
aud he ought. therefore, TO cammand large
support in the canvass he is now making"

conscience and with flaming rage swoops
down his hot bitterness upon brotherhood
that he might well emulate. Must he digest

him wide open, because, for>ooth, he fails to
comprehend the philosophy of a friendship
that survives the strained jobs of Il campaign

again utter sentence that would disturb thy
proud triumph and solitary serenity.
