RLrNDERING TACTLcS

The opponents Of Mr. TiIdens nomination.
If they have any hopes of inducing that gen
teman to harmonic the party by withdraw
ing from the field, are singuarly infelcitous
in Their treatment OF the case. It is generally
admitted that he is at present the most prom
ising candidate for the nomination. Even if
he should not finally succeed, it Is quite evi-
dent that ho leads the field Mt this mo-
ment. His btterost opponent cannot but SEQ
that his strength is sufficient to make him
formidable, and no one disputes the fact that
if he should not be nominated himself or per-
mitted to namo the. candidate. ho has the
mower. If he wills 10 exercise il, TO make the
election of the ticket impossible. In this
state Of things one would suppose that his
opponents would see, ii not the ACCESSIBILITY of
attempting conciliatory course, at least the
prudence Of not driving him into a corner
where he must perfOrce either fight or die.
But what are they doing in fact They
are actually trying to induce the old gentle
man to take himself out Of the way by telling
him that there are thousands of Democrats
who have no confidence in him and will bolt
if he IL nominated, and that the only thing
for him to do to save the party il 70
withdraw. That is, it is a duty he owes to his
party. and, of course, as they put it, to his
country, to coufcss Judgment, plead guilty,
admit that lie has not the confidence
of his party and does not deserve it, and with
that confession retire from the field. Is it be-
cause they don't know the man or that they
are inconceivaby stupid that they do thls7 Mr..

TILE RETcHERED CHIEE.

The murder OF Big Snake the Ponca chief
should, and doubtless will. be made the sub
iect of an immediate investigation. II is still
another outrage in the succession TO which tho
Ponca tribe has been subjected, and must
be punished like any other deliberate
murder, unless tho fact that the sol
der who shot the chief was acting under
orders. which. however, he plainly exceeded,
should present n legal obstacle Of some kind.
Such nm act must excite righteous indignation
at any time whether the victim bo red or
white, but it is especially TO be deplored now,
inasmuch as serious efforts are being made to
settle the Indian question with Justice to both
sides and in an intelligent way, and all events
which tend to bring passion into the contro-
yersy Will only confuse tho public mind
and do mischief.
1t will not do, therefore, TO infer, be-
cause Big Snake has been fouiy muir
dered, that white men are essentially
cruel and blcodihirsty, that Indians have
been from tire immemoual peaceable and
gentle, and that their history is one OF unresst-
ing mplainIng maItyrdom. sentmentahties
such as these only increase the difficulties of
what is to-day one of the most trying prob.
lens in American craftsmanship The
Indian question can only DO solved
by patient wisdom, and by taking
into account the fact that, admitting
all that can DO charged against white men Of
the frontier in the way of cruelty. the lndI-
ans ale nevertheless several degrees more say
age than the citizens of the United States.

THE OU1RAGE ON. MR.. WHEELOCK.

The Venezuelan Government has not yet
made reparatiOn for the outrage committed by
one of its officials last September upon
Joseph Z. Wheeock, q citizen of Ithaca,
in this State. The outrage, it will
be remembered. was of a peculiarly
atrocious character Mr.. Wheelock, who was
residing in Venezuela as the superintendent OF
mine, was falsely accused by an Italian of
having robbed him of $1,000. He was taken
before negro General who held the Judicial
office of Commissary, and by bis orders was tor
tnrel in a cruel manner to extract confess
sion. First the brute hung his prisoner up by
the arms with cord fastened TO a
neg in the wall of the courtroom then
he suspended him by rope with slip
moose passed around his chest aud as last
resort he took him to the woods and hung
him up by the ankles to tree with his
head down, and in this position had
him beaten by the swords of the peon
guards. After lying several days in Jail Mr.
Wheelock succeeded in having his case inves-
tigated 10y the Judge of the district, and was
discharged with the information that there
was no suspicion against him.
There would seem to be but one course for
OR Government to take in this matter--to

demand the payment of an ample indem-
nifty and the punishment of the brutal
official. The facts are not denied by
the Venezuelan authorities, nor is there
any attempt at justification. save the
plea that the Commissary who committed
the outrage was an ignorant man. If the
torture of Mr.. Wheelock is made to cost the
Venezuelan Government a round sum, 1t
will probably find means of enlightening its
officials as to the rights Of American citizens.

If any Of our people have been led TO sup
pose that the distress in Ireland was sub
siding or that sufficient provision had been
made to stay the famine, let them read the
reports from parish priests given in the letter
of Mr.. Redpath, The TRIBUNE's special CORE
spondent which will be found elsewhere. These
tales of suffering are most moving. Where
men, women and children are reduced to the
last stages Of nakedness and destitutiOn
where families are hudded together without fire,
food, clothing or bedding either in miserable
huts or the former abodes of animals where
thousands and thousands are begging-tO use
the words of one of these parish priests" not
bread. but the humblest and cheapest food
:" that can be supplied for human use, Indian
"meal ,''-when all this exists and there Is lit
tie prospect of Improvement in the future,
there Is surely much still to be done in active
relief. The means of preventing future
famines can best be determined when the hun
ger of these suffering ones is allayed. 1t
should be noticed that In some of the dis
tricts covered In this letter the distress is
declared to be even greater than it was in the
famine of 1S47.

The story that Mr. John Stetson. manager Oh the
Globe theatre in Boston, has taken out copyright
on 1.-THE Pirates of Penzance" is now explained IN
the Boston papers. Mr. Stetson has q contract with
the agent of Messrs Sullivan and Gilbert to produce
the piece at his theatre next week. and hearing that
other persons were negotiating for the privilege OF
playing it Ia Ne S-England he conceived the orig
Inal idea of taking out a copyright in order to de-
feat his rivals. He therefore caused the ttle-page
to be put in type, and filed copy Of it, as the law
requires with the Librarian Of Congress. The
functions of that gentleman being purely ministerial
sm the matter. he IS not to decide whether Mr.
SetsOn Is entitled to copyright or mott he
merely enters the application. Mr. Stetson is now
allowed " reasonable time to publish the work.
and forward copy of it to the Library of Congress,
and when these formalities have been complied
with Mr.. Stetson can have a copyright provtded he
Is the author of the work for which he asks protec-
ton. In other words, ne may write - Pirates OF
PenzanceD of his own, He is. no doubt. Of the
opinion that the ceremony performed the other day
slye right to the title which he has entered But
title alone, as a geDer rule cannot lie copyrighted
and the Courts would certainly never sanction the
setting up of a claim to title already used by
another person. So il does not appear that Mr..
SesOn has accomplished anything by his curious
device We trust that he Will be left in tho secure
enjoyment of whatever privileges he has purchased

The Baboon's Dinner.

Philadelphia Sunday Times.I
Children who have begun the study of
geography know that Africa is one of the
grand divisions of the Eastern Continent.
We live on the Western Continent and
across the Atlantic Ocean is the other con-
tinent, which contains Asia Europe and AZ
RIGA Nor is Africa in our hemisphere or
northern half of the world A great part of
Africa lies south of the equator and in South
Africa it is very wild and very warm.
Many monkeys come from that part of the
world, and also many balloons, which are
big cousins of the monkey. One day good
preacher, Bishop Colenso, was walking
along the Donga River, in South Africa,
when he saw number Of balloons summing
themselves in little hollow of the ground.
The balloons lay upon their backs and their
eyes were half closed, just like lazy Uncle
Georges eyes are when he is taking a sneoze
on the lounge. Two or three of the young
balloons were at some distance from the old
ones, playing and romping, for baboon chill
dren dearly love to romp By and by one of
the young ones turning up stone
lit upon particularly fine and
fat scorpion, which, with scared glance
round at his elders, he seized and popped
into his mouth, having first pinched off the
sting He at once proceeded to turn the stone
over again with great pains, Dis though in
further unsuccessful search fer scorpions. He
had not escaped notice, however, for down
the gully in sluggish roll came great
baboon, who seized the young one by the
scruff of his neck, shaking him vigorously
until the plump morsel dropped from his
pouch. Having gobbled this up the elder
baboon at once regained his lounge, and all
went on as before in the sleepy hollow.
