THE California state board of equal
ization has completed its assessment of
the railways, under the stringent pro-
visions of the new state constitution, and
it finds that the 2,023 miles of road in
the state are worth, for purposes oftaxa-
ton, S31 DOC, 0o0--a very handsome adj
dition to the taxable property which the
people ought to l,ear in mind when they
denounce the corporation which have
infested it. The franchise--the mere
privilege of buying or accepting the
right of way and doing a transportation
bnsiness-is assessed for all the prin-
cipal roads at $1,000 per mile, few run
ming down to 81 900, $500 and $500 per
mile. On this arbitrary basis the rail-
ways are compelled to pay a large share
of the burdens of the state, in addition
to being taxed, like ordinary citizens, on
their actual and tangible propesy. sin
gularly enough the steamboat lines are
not taxed 1T all for franchises.

Mr.. Schurg and the Utes.

When Mr.. Schurz cuts off the food sup
ply of a tribe of Indians because few Of
their number have been guilty of horrid
crimes and have not been caught and handed
over to him for punishment, he tortures the
innocent as we'll as the guilty.
We may safely say that the innocent are
the greater sufferers. Old men, women and
children, who are not even suspected of any
part in the Meeker butchery, are denied ra.
tions in mid-winter, when the snow is six OF
eight feet deep in their country, and when,
of course, they can get nothing to eat.
Hunger is horrible torture. 1t is an in
fernal punishment, justifable only as last
resort in the most desperate cases. To say
to the White river Utes, as Mr.. Schurz has
said. "You shall have no rations until the
murderers are surrendered, was simply say.
ing to large number of innocent people
that they must starve to death because
they would not perform an impossible
thing
1t has been demonstrated beyond possible
doubt that the White river Utes were very
badly treated before the recent outbreak
We do not propose to excuse or palllate the
murder of Meeker and his associates. The
Indians must be taught that grievances,
however serious, are not to be redressed by
such means. The authors of that crime
should be outlawed, a price put on their
heads, and no effort should be spared to in
sure their destruction.
But the Government cannot deal with
this tribe as with indians who are upfriendly
or hostile without any cause. The Indian
Bureau had violated treaty stipulations in
the most important partIcu lars. 1t did not
send the supplies of the farm tools due un-
der the treaty. General Fisk testifies that
the neglect of the Bureau forced the Utes to
travel IT'S miles, to Rawlings, for food, and
the -four needed at White river stayed at
Rawlings until it rotted. As long ago as
1877 the predecessor of Meeker reported to
the Indian departme mt that:
THE annuities and supplies furnished
these Indians amount to- at a liberal esti-
mate, not over one half that required for
their support None of the annuity goods
and but part of their supplies have reached
this agency during the year. Goods pur.
chased in August last year have been lying
at the railroad depot, l75 miles away, since
November last,a period of over nine months.

Rawlings; no clothing, blankets, implements

In face of all these facts, in face ofthe gros-
sest violations OF contract on the part of the
Utes having long since
fulfilled their part-Mr. Schurz proposes to
starve men women and children unless they
will capture and deliver up to certain death
twelve of their warriors. So long as this
sort of criminal folly is persisted in there
can be no peace Washington Post.

of the nomination of man "who regards
the skilful use of patronage for personal ends
as the highest function of statesman ;
whose past inability to resist temptation
would put his supporters on the defensive
and whose personal ambition leads him to
regard the public service as a mere instru-

be advisable t. divert the emgrants from
their object point (Kansas) and "send about
FIVE thousand into Indiana, as that was a
doubtful State in the coming election"
Mr. Otuy testified that no one objected to
this suggestion at the time except himself.
He continued:
