The Now Indian Policy.

Ever since the advent of Mr.. Teller in
the department of the interior We lave been
hearing great deal about "new Indian
policy" to be set on foot by the new secre.
tary, which shall ''initiate the red men
into the arts of civilization" In Secretary
Teller's federation of the political assess
ment of all the employees of the Indian
training school at Carlisle barracks we ap-
parently have the beginning of it. Hub
bell, unchecked by Teller, has sent his cir.
cular through the entire establishment, as.
sessing all the inmates for the preservation
of the Republican party-frOm Etadleuh
Doanmoe, the "Indian teacher" who is
assessed eight dollars, to Mrs. Platt, the
''mistress Of the dining room," and Miss
Wilson, the "hospital nurse" who are as.
sessed respectively nine dollars and twelve
dollars and fifty cents. When Esadleuh
Doanmoe lejoins his tribe he will have
some new ideas to communicate about the
art" of "civilized life." If Hubbel ever
makes a summer excursion into the neigh
borhood of that tribe hs should take care
to button on his scalp securely or it may
blow of.

THAT the stipend of sl.o6 per day is
not enough wages for the police will be
generally admitted. The consequence
OF this meagreness of pay is that they
resort to the collection of official fees to
exc out a living, and hence the abuses of
which the auditors complain and by
which the taxpayers are robbed. 1t hap
pens very naturally that the best officers
attend most closely to their strict duties
and earn the least fees, and rice rersa.
1t would be better if they were all alike
paid fair salary and that their. fees
went into the city treasury.
But lack of adequate pay or any other
cause of dissatisfaction is not any excuse
for such insubordination as eight men,
bers of the force displayed in their sui
len refusal to 20 on extra duty last Sat-
nrday night. Had any one member of
the force been guilty of such q violation
of good order he would certainly have
been disciplined. The rules must be inn.

and the mayor deserves credit for fear.

mistaken men is its own vindication.

GEN. GRANTS CHARMED LIFE.
Escaping from . Railroad Wreck to Encounl

Escaping from . Railroad Wreck to EncOunt-
u Horses HOOfs
General Grant has charmed life. Ten
days ago ho sat in railroad car that was
dumped off bridge into creek and was
smashed to pieces, yet when the passengers
from other parts of the train came to help
the wounded Grant sat in the wreck like
sphinx, smoking his cigar. Last Monday
he started out from his cottage at Long
Branch to indulge in his usual afternoon
drive. He is exceedingly fond of good
trotter, and seeks the back road at the
Branch to speed his animal, IS well as to
get away from the crowds that throng the
beach drive. However, to reach the
country he was forced to pass along the
main avenue, and he was there stopped,
with many other carriages, by a balky
team. During this delay = saddle horse,
which had been jammed in alongside OF
the general, became fractious, and, kick
ing up his heels, knocked away the dasher
of the generals new carriage and broke a
wheel. The occupant quietly bounded
up his lines, chewed his cigar and waited
for the beast to come at him again. Folks
who saw that splintered carriage lying on
the roadside did not know how closely
horses hoofs had hung around a hero's
head.

An Uncomfortable Dilemma.


1t is hardly worth while to speculate
upon the prospect of q Republican re-
union in the coming canvass when the
question is so soon to he decided but
it seems reasonably certain that il the
Regulars secure the union which they are
anxious for they will need to make very
great concessions to the Independents,
who do not care so much for union !;
in fact they don't want a union that
will leave Cameron's head above water,
and they are not likely to accept any
proposition which will give him much of
chance for his life. The suggestion is
that new convention be held /; if the
Independents accept 1t they will show a
great deal of confidence that they can
heat their enemy in the battle at the
primaries. 1t is proposition which they
can hardly decline with decency however
much they may want to. That they do
want to We profoundly believe; and they
want to SO much that they are likely to
trump up some very shallow pretext for
avoiding it. We doubt very much
whether they think that they can win in
a new contest at the PRIMARIES, and they
will I've likely to insist upon such condi-
tions rs will make abortive the attempt
to bring them up to the scratch before
the Republican voters. The Regulars
will show great deal of wisdom by the
endeavOr to force the boilers to meet
them in a fight within the party lines.
There is nothing Of substance that can
he urged agains: the propriety of such q
method Of settlement between those who
claim to he Republicans. The Indepen.
dents assert that they represent the party
sentiment, and if they believe what they
say they should he ready and eager to
60 before the party for its support. They
may think that they will be cheated at
the election but that is not good rea-
son for declining the encounter, because
it is their business to see that they are
not cheated and if they are competent
for the leadership they claim over their
party they will not be cheated. There

party control. and that is reference of
the question to the party members ut the
primary elections If the Cameron fac
tion offer their enemies this and they
decline to accept it, they will confess
their weakness if they accept they are
very likely to come out of the small end
of the horn at the election. Their di-
lemma will not be comfortable.

A College tor Sale

lemma will not be comfortable.
WITHOUT any interference or solicita-
tion on his part, Mr.. Hensel has been
unanimously chosen chairman of the
Democratic state central committee by
those appointed to make the selection.
lie WAS not in any sense Il candidate for
this place and never stood ready 10 ac-
cept it unless it came to him with the
free will and hearty tender of all the
candidates on the ticket and of the
chairman of the state convention. As
indicated in these columns Yesterday
either of the other gentlemen named
for this position would have been
entirely fit and acceptable. What
considerations prevailed with the can
didates we have no means OF knowing.
Mr.. Hensel receives the position entirely
free from any obligation except to ad-
minister it, in every relation, with an
eye single TO the honor and welfare of
the whole party. 1t is needless to say
that that will he his earnest endeavor.
He will bring to his IaboriOus duties
whatever the active experience of ten
years in political organization and an
untlinching purpose to promote Demo-
cratic success can furnish. But the
success of his work will depend
largely on the hearty cooperation
of every element of the party, rank and
file as we'll as leadership. He has no
reason to doubt that he will receive this,
and that there is no misunderstanding
between him and the late efficient chair
man, Mr.. Bogert, can be readily seen
from the extract which We republish
from some private correspondence be-
tween them.
As long as Office is a reward of party
services contributions to political funds
from office-holders will he in order.
Who should not pay party expenses if
not they who profit by them {? And if
they should ought they not to be expect
ed to? And if expected why may they
not be required Shall the cost of the
party machine fall only on the willing
beneliciaries :?
Those who maintain that office holders
should not he required to contribute to
party expenses must follow that up
with a declaration that. office should
not he the reward of party service
There is great deal of nonsense being
uttered just now upon this matter of as
sessing Office-hOlders. What the law for.
bids should, of course, not he done, even
If the law is silly law. But law
which forbids assessment of office-holders
for party purposes should forbid the be-
stowal of Office as party reward. The
civil service should be free from partisan
influence to free the civil servants from
party demands. Let us try to be de-
Gently consistent and moderately SER
