Indian bureau from Los Plnos, Col, that
there is some delay in taking the census of fl
the Utes, owing to the death of Ouray,
which has discomposed matters some Ii
what, but there are no apprehensions of fl
trouble On the contrary the Utes at
Los Pinos exhibit great anxiety for pro- G
lection from the government. They /
spoke touchingly, too, to Agent Berry OF
Ouray's widow "Poor Chip-pe-ta," they
said, "who will take care of her now"
The agent replied: "The government
will take care of Chip-pe-ta as long as
she lives. Ouray's widow shall never J
come to want "Who will be our
chief?" asked warrior who was himself
candidate. Had Major Berry faltered
there is no telling what might have trans
pired in the next ninety days. Without
hesitation he answered: "You have but
one man able to fill the place of Ouray
that man is Sapovonare." The head OF
the ambitious young chief bent forward.
His hopes were nipped. The Indians
elected Sapovonare, and the white people
sleep soundly at Los Pinos.
PRESIDENT HAYES made an address on
his western tour which adds another to the
MANY proofs of the thoughtful character
of his craftsmanship. He interrupts the
growing echoes of the Presidential CAM
paicn to discuss the need of more thor
ouch popular education in order that
future generations of Americans may be
sufficiently enlightened. The array OF
facts which he produces will be new to
many, and not at all reassuring to any.
| The state of education in the South is far
from being what it should be, even fifteen
years after the war. Only little more
than one-half of the school population is
on the school lists. Nearly 2,5O0,0O0
children are not enrolled in any school.
The Southern States claim that they are
not able to educate their people. Presi-
dent Hayes declares that inasmuch as
citizenship was conferred upon the blacks
by the people of the United States, 1t is |
Ethe sacred duty, as it is the highest in
terest," Of the National Government to |
take care that these new voters are prop
erly educated. This is the principal source
ofilliterate population. Mr.. Hayes enum-
crates others-immigration, which may
be expected to produce in the next decade
a quarter of million voters the indians,
almost all ignorant, whom the progress of
events must soon force into citizenship
New-Mexico and other Territories. Mr..
, Hayes insists that universal education re-
, quires the aid of the General Govern
, ment, but suggests no plan for giving it.
There has been much difference of opinion
f on this subject, but the address deserves
and will receive earnest attention.
r I A WESTERN paper after speaking of the
i conventions and platforms Of both parties,
: says: Meanwhile both parties have
gained some light on minor points. The
: Democracy have learned from their own
:; I; most trusted leaders that the good name
y of General Garfield can not be success
: fully assailed. On the other hand, Re-
II publicans have discovered that it is vain
D to attempt to attach any sort Of record,
/ either for good or evil, to the Democratic
:, candidate, and that it is useless to find
u fault with General Hancock because,
y without fault of his own, he is superb
lc e Thus the people are gradually coming
VI face to face with real issues, and hence
forth both parties must address themselves
to the serious business of the campaign.
u u The Republicans, ask the acquiescence OF
IL all citizens in the Legitimate results Of the
+ war, and they desire to give to the people
y of the South their just share in the ad-
9 ministration of public affairs. They hold
e that Republicans should have the privi-
70 lege, everywhere accorded to the Demo
q q Gratis, of casting their votes without teal
I'll and without molestation. While they
q d admit the errors into which Republican
% administrations may have fallen, they YET
"a intend to stand squarely by the great
ol achievements of the party and by the
% record of its honored leaders. They
er oppose the men who have made a solit
III South possible, and they condemn the
Gu conduct of Democratic majority in Con
= gress. The Democrats on the contrary op
oh pose all the Legislation of Republicans ant
D. [ demand change because they say that it il
LC L~ not safe for party to be in power NOR
m no than twenty years"
ne AFTER many years, says the Tribune
1t project is put forward for an under
&C. ground railway under New York, whicl
is plainly in earnest An underground
road running from the Battery to Cen
III trail Park beneath Broadway, the spina
us column of Manhattan Island, and carry
el- ing passengers at FIVE cents fare, is an en-
Isl terprise about whose success there ca
tlu hardly be much question. Trains can b
III run at greater rate of speed than on tn
Gu elevated roads and with fewer stops
ere Much longer trains can be run where tn
~. III road-bed is on the ground and not on a
III iron bridge. Then the road will ru
zen under the main street of the city, throug
@ o@eo which there is great stream of travel a
10y day and much of the night, and on whic
ou o,e most of the shopping of the city will b
ie5r' done. If there were as many drawback
'!o as there are advantages about such roaC
III the mere facility of rapid transit for
ion t! cheap fare would make the road prof
S 10 able Investment The chief difficulties t
Veu be overcome are those which exist in th
We London underground roads-the impe

Iills comfort Of the darkness. All of thes
De have evidently been carefully considere

.no many of the annoyances Of the Londo
%" roads are due to the fact that there is bl
"uS one tunnel, in which trains run both way
pouring out smoke and noxious gas
ono upon each other. 1t is proposed here
noe. construct two separate tunnels, with ;
