THE report of the special commission
appointed some weeks ago by the pres
ident to inquire into the alleged wrongs
of the Ponca Indians, reflects very Sc
riously upon the Indian Bureau of the
Interior Department, and indicates that
in this matter Mr.. Shurtz must have
been greatly imposed upon, to put it
lightly. They say that the removal of
the Poncas from their lands in Ne
breska and Dakota was not only most
unfortunate for the Indians, entailing
great hardship and loss of life and prop
erty, but it was injudicious and with
out just cause. The evidence taken by
the commission, together with docu-
ments pertaining to the inquiry, &C
companies the report. The members
of the commission were: Brigadier
Generals George Crook and Nelson A.
Miles, of the United States army, Will
liam Stickney of Washington, and
Walter Allen, of Newton, Mass. The
Poncas having expressed a willingness
to remain on their new reservation in
Indian Territory, they will be-or at
least should be-carefully and amply
provided for by the government, in con-
Iteration of the shabby treatment to
,hich they have heretofore been sub
.ected.

ness to a check. The meet at the
kennels means meeting on the lawn,
where the disappearance of the frost is
demonstrated conclusiveby by the cut
ting up of the turf and furrowing ofthe
gravel. The long tables are spread in
the old oak hall, under polished rafters
and scatcheoned panels, and among
family portraits The genial host goes
about among his scarlet-coated guests,
hail fellow we'll met with everybody,
and the ladies of the household, as they
do the honors of the tea and coffee,
light up the somber banauetting hall
with their smiles. There is a pretty
lively clatter of knives and forks, in
termingled with the clash of cups and
glasses. Those who do not sit down
to the more substantial fare gather
round the decanters on Bullets and
sideboards, while the liveried serving
men are busy out of doors handing
trimming tankards to yeomen and out
siders. If the horses are fall of fire
and oats, their exhuberant spirits will
soon be counterbalanced by the circu-
lation of jumping powder among the
gentlemen of the hunt: and, ii short
retorts are banded few minutes be-
fore, there is universal drowning Of
all unpleasantness. Only should
there be find and should the numer-
GUS field get fairly away with thier fox,
wise man will do well to take line of
his own, though at the chance of hay
ing to face some extra fencing. A
cruch in lane or cannon in a gap may
possibly entail awkward consequences.

LELAND STANFORD president of the
Central Pacific railroad, has replied in
a three column letter to the questions
of a committee of the New York board
of trade. He says that tariffs and the
supervision Of commerce and trade Or
iginated in barbarous age, and sprung
from ROBBERY and rapine. Referring to
the granger decisions, he says they are
fragrant violations of the principles of a
free government. He denies that rail
ways are public highways and com
mon carriers, deriving their franchise
and existence from the public; they
ara corporations formed by individu-
ais, and no more created by the state
than are joint partnerships. If they
use money to control elections it is be-
cause they are forced to do SO in self
defense. Legislative control would be
less Just than the rates Of the compa-
MES, and the control should rest with
the owners, unless outright purchase is
made by the state.

Captain G. w. Nelson, of New Or
leans, has just come into possession of
magnificent silver telescope, awarded
to him over twenty years ago by the
British government for brave and
noble conduct in rescuing during a
fierce gale on Nov. 6, 1859, the crew of
the British brig Penelope, waterlogged
and at the mercy Of the waves. The
crew numbered eleven, and were dis
covered clinging to the rigging of the
helpless vessel. The telescope was
first sent to Washington, then to Bos-
ton, then to New Orleans, where it re-
manned during the war. The owner
was advertised for in 1873. but not un-
til short time ago did the captain
hear of it. The old sailor is now happy
in the thought that his action did not
go unrecognized by the British admir-
alty.

THERE is apparently no abatement
in the fanatical opposition to the Jews
in Germany. Some of the scenes at
tending the anti-Jewish meetings are
most disgraceful. Notwithstanding the
fact that the crown prince has strong
ly condemned the whole proceeding,
and the Bavarian police have received
instructions to do all they can to put a
stop, there is now a movement on foot
to start an anti-Jewish newspaper in
Berlin, prohibition on the part of the
Berlin police of proposed working
mems meeting to protect against the
agitation. and an uproar among the
students ofthe university at Berlin on
the very mention by the director of
his disapproval Of the movement. Anti
Jewish pamphlets of the most 1nfiam-
matory kind are being scattered whole
sale among the students and other
classes. Indeed, the agitation has al
ready assumed the character as it has
the name Of Jew-baiting. And in
the midst of all the clamor Prince
Bismarck the leading spirit of his
country is strangely silent.
