he yesterday entered an Office On

"Yes,' was the reply:

The owner of the Office pro.

got the coal dealers he said:
"Mr. Blank is here, and he
wants to know if you have any
soft coal?"
"Yes-500 tons," was the an
swer.
"Well, he wants you to send
him up a ton.'
"We'll see him bloWed first!
He has owed us bill for over
two years.
"Yum!' @muttered the man as
he stepped back.
"Did they say they send it?'
asked the other.
"N-o. not exactly"
"What did they say?'
I'll didn't catch it very we'll.
Let me repeat" Picking up the
trumpet again, he stood with il
to his ear and asked:
"Did you say you'd send it?''
"Not by a blamed sight! came
the response.
SWELL" asked the man as a
painful pause ensued.
"Well," replied the operator,

"But I shan't bother any one

TILE PONCAS.

Senator KirkwoOd's Committee appear to be
making an honest effort to get at the truth OF
the POnca outrage. The witnesses whom The
TRIBUNE named a month ago as necessary to
a full hearing of the details have been sent
for from Dakota and the Indian Territory.
Our readers whose interest In this case has
induced them to follow the testimony day by
day will find that the story of the POncas has
been substantiated IN every detail The tact
has been proved that they were tricked into
signing a paper which was interpreted to
them to mean exactly the reverse OF what IL
did mean that they were banshed from their
homes and robbed of their property with
brutal haste md cruelty; that they are sui
living in the unhealthy district to which they
were exiled, as many OF them, that Is,
as have not died of fever and exhaustion.
" We counted the DEATHS" said White Eagle,
until they reached 200, and then we grew
tired. Ny four children died after that"
The story has every element of dramatic
pathos in it, Take the incident of Big Snake
to which we referred the other day. Tins

had never had quarrel with white man.

is not alleged with any evil purpose. An In
dian. however, like the slaves before emancl-
patton, cannot go from place to place without
a pass from his master, who, in the redman's
case. is the Agent. This Indian is imprisoned
for months by the Agent. On his release he
is arrested again, but refuses to be hand
cuffed unless he knows the reason why. He
is told that the Agent thinks he intends to
kill him. but protests that he bas not even a
knife to cut tobacco. The Agent, however,
orders the soldiers to handcuf him, and the
chief. pushing them back, is shotdead through
the heart. We repeat the story only to call
attention to the fact that If Georgia planter
before the war had taken it into his head to
be afraid OF one of his slaves whom he had
maltreated, he would not have been author
lied to call in the United States soldery to
shoot him for him.
1t was not, probably, the Agent, who had the
power to order, who .was to blame, nor the
soldiers, who must obey orders. II Is the law
which is to blame, which gives the Agent
mower which he can abuse. So long rs the
Indian is not "a person." not protected BY the
Courts like other men, in person and property.
such murders as this may be repeated thou
sand times with impunity. 1t is an argument
which we have made before, but tie wrong Is
not yet remeded.

ELETATED RAILWAY AFFAIRS.

The movement against the news stands on
the elevated railroads is not of the first I'M
portance. The news stands are convenience
to the travelling public; they are in effect ad-
ditional means for saving the time of patrons;
they tend to increase the sale of the better
class of newspapers and periodicals ; and they
iniure none other than rival news stands,
which it is not the duty of the Legislature to
relieve from competition.
We are not of those who believe that the
reduction of fares to five cents will appre-
Gladly iniure the elevated railroads. But dis
cuss.on of Nh AstOr'5 measure has brought
ont some arguments against enforcing the re-
duction. It's possible effect Of delaying fur
Their extension Of the lines the probability OF
its leading to long litigation, and the GER
talnty OF its inducing mistaken economy IN
the quality Of the accommodations, are points
which deserve consideration. The danger that
this economy may lead to careless manage
ment and consequent danger TO passengers l.
also TO be thought OF. The elevated roads make
further point when they cOmplIin Of the
manifest injustice of requring a road built on
costly plan to carry passengers at half a
cent mile, while a cheap surface road is
allowed to charge IS cents for less distance.
One thing is clear; whether or not thcse
arguments from the elevated road people are
sufficient TO stop the movement for uniform
five-cent fares, they do not affect the preva-
lent demand for an extension of the five-cent
hours. Whatever the fate of Mr. Astors bill,
the company could do no more graceful, or
polite. or profitable thing tLan promptly to
make this concession.
