We called attention the other day TO the
significant reports from Che cotton markets oil
CHINA, showing tha- the deterioration III cotton
goods manufactured in England had caused an
enormous falling of in the imports from that
country into Chinese ports during thc last 1--WE
years. while the honestly made American goods

comes from Ilindostan. A recent number Of
The Friend of India, an English Journal pub
ljshed in India. states that while the trade oi
that country with other countries Is rapidly
Increasing it has as TaDidly decreased with
Great Britain. In 1867 the percentage Of
trade was $3.50 with the United King
dom; IN 1879 it had fallen TO 1928.
This is attributed to the heavy adultcratIonS

2OO. 600 900 yards from those Of 1878. An
other fact interesting to our cotlon-growers
is stated that the oui-tun OF cleaned cotton
in India has decreased to 10 pounds per acre.
while the average in the United States be-
tween the years 1869 and 1878 was 202
pounds.

sequence the whole Of the coal which France

American and Danish butter and cheese are

tbe attention of our American dairy
men aud women to this fact two

the quantity in (which it is thrown on the
English markets, has undersold the English.

their way back on foot after nifty days OF
frightful hunger and suffering. That they
should "run away in the night" voluntarily
to undertake such journey, when it was In
spector Kemble's business to take them back
by rail. is a story so wildly incredible that we
are surprised he tried to impose 1t upon the
Committee. His assertions that he was Justlhed
IN the removal of the tribe by his orders from
the CommissiOnerare doubtless correct. lie was
not justified, however, IN the brutal cruelty
with which the removal was carried out.
The point for our readers to consider Is, wLo
was TO blame, after all, for the banishmeht
and robbery of these people Not the three
men who executed the orders of The Commits
sioner and were paid for the job $4,000 OF
the peoples money. Not the Commissioner.
Give a man autocratic power over the property
and lives of 25O.0 900 people of whom he knows
almost nothing. and whether you call him Car,
Shah or Indian Commissioner he will make as
fa,al mistakes as this has been. The blame
belongs to the people who give to any man
such power, especially in Republic The

The public have followed the testimony in
the Ponca case with keen interest, not to know
the facts, for they are already known in every
detail but TO see what means Commissioners,
Inspectors, etc, will now use to whitewash over
or nut out of sight this atrOciOus outrage. No
effort, however, has been made to deny that

they had they were farming, working, build

district where one-tbird Of the number died

been, that "after long persuasion part of the
"uibe consented to co." Tie fact is there
were but ten half-breeds who consented. The
rest of the tribe, according to the report of
the Indian Commissioner, 1877, absolutely
refused, stating that they preferred to re-
"main and die in defence of their homes rather

While New-York has been doing Winter

The Interoceanic Canal question had IFS

will require his appointment rs chairman. MI
Eaton pleaded for a reference of the suDJect
to the Foreign Relations Committee, being
chairman of that Committee himself MT.
Garland suggested dividing it up among sew

was talked to death, and the question went
over. The time will no doubt arrive when the
Senate will do something about the Inter
oceanic Canal, but it is very slow in dong IT,
and the people are growing impatient.
Mr.. Blackburn, the Kentucky fre-eater,
made an extraordinary demonstration yester-
day in the House of Representatives against
brother Observation-Disclosures II. Stephens.
The latter was anxious TO address the House
upon the prOpriety of attaching riders TO APP
preparation bills, but every attempt to give
him a hearing was met by an obstinate ol9ec-
ton from Mr. Blackburn. The hearing was
finally obtained by combination Of
the Republicans and a few Democrats
to turn the House into Committee
of the Whole on the State OF the
Union. Then Mr.. Stephens made his
speech, which was q manly protest against
the policy of riders. 1t was received Mt the
close with contemptuous remark by Mr..
Blackburn that. unless the House wished " to
waste moro time" the consideration OF the
rules might be resumed. Mr.. Blackburn Is Il
word-cater, too. Everyone remembers the
melancholy way in which he swallowed down
his prediction about sweeping away "eyeiy
"vestiRe Os the war Legislation y; and yester-
day he denied having made the remark quoted
above, immediately after making it, HIS re-
sentiment at the appearance Of Mr. Stephens
in the debate was carried beyond the bounds
of decency. The latter gentleman has COM
mittcd grave mistakes, but with ali his errors
he has the respect Of the mass of cur people
