InolGentn of tho Election.

During the progress OF the tight IN the
Seventh Ware, about noon Tuesday, q
prominent Republican was standing on
tho steps of neighboring house talking
10 q lady aDd stood there while the ro "
was In progress. When things became
warm a prominent Democrat ran up on
these same steps and joined the man,
for the purpose of avoiding the crowd,
but he was quickly hustled from fis
lofty position to the pavement below, by
the woman, who was Republican and
said ''she wouldn't allow any Democrat
to stand on her steps" 1t is needless
to say that the man left, hut in a short
| time after wards he met the Republican
who had been on the steps and aGcosted
him with "Mr. - that's a plucky
j wife of yours" but it was not his wife
and the fellow was worse put out than
ever.
1t is stated, upon good authority that
a coloTed man, when asked by a Repub'
lican if he voted all right, replied mo-
as he was done voting tor party
that paid him nothing, and would vote
for the party that paid him for his
vote" This was mainly the cause OF the
Republican defeat as many colored vo-
ters were bought up by the Democrats
The Greenbackers ticket received one
or two votes.
In the upper precinct of the Fifth
ward on Tuesday man voted pre-
scription for medicine instead Of
ticket and the occurrence created quite
a laugh when the vote was counted anC

M0lcDs"
In the first act Mrs. LaDgtry has to
assume the character ofa simple, art
less village maiden, who is In love; in
the second, that Of wife misunder-
stood, and IN false and trying position
Jealous of q rival and deserted by q
husband; In the third, Of a woman of
tho world, hard, unsympathetic and
brilliant. Upon her entrance in the
first of these characters, that OF the
blackamith's daughter, Mrs. Langtry
was received with welcome as warm
as she could have wished.
1t wcs very evident from the first that
her novitiate had been passed, and that
she had rio herself of the manner OF
the amateur and acquired that OF the
professional actress. There was moth
ing constrained or immature in her
method, and she played the ertire act
with frank, ingenious spirit, an ease
and grace of manner and o LaLuralness
of feeling that won for her the most
favorable demonstrations on the part
of the audience.
At the close OF the act she was re
peatedly called before the curtain, once
in company with Mr.. Abbey. The
audience was quick to feel the charm
of ner manner-that Of woman OF rt =
tinement and breeding. 1t was mani
fest in her handsome, beaming face.

head and neck, in her pore aud gesture
and finally in her clear cut and beautt

The sympathy so awakened Mrs
, Laugtry carried to the end. In th'
emotional passages of the second &C
she was the Weakest-the feeling wal
correct, but she had clearly not fully
mastered the methods of expression
II her work in any point suggested the
amateur 1t was here. And it seemet
to indicate that in plays that possessed
more of the meiodramatic and less o
Q the comedy type Mrs. Langtry woult
be found lacking. But in the third &C
where she assumed the manners O
a the conventional woman of society, he
bar tsr was admirable.
At no point was there any manlfes
8 tation of a great talent, but, on Tn
8 other hand, there was abundance OF re
tinement and grace, and the evidenc
of the most careful and oonsclentlou
II study. Indeed, it may safely be sal
,; that Mrs. Langtry has not accepted thi

George s. Wilson in North Atlantic.
Look ut 1t as we may, we have
among us many savages who are inca
pable of self control and self support.
We shall soon have all their lands that
are of value and we have already de-
stroyed nearly all their game. We have
taken away their native means OF sup
pot and we have instructed them SUI.
tieiently In the arts and economies OF
our lite to enable them 70 earn their
living by the sweat of their brow, how
ever willing they might be to do so.
One OF three courses Is ssopen to US
q. To raise an army Of 100000 men
and literally extermin ate saVages. This
wou.d be the most effective and at the
same time vastly the mort economical
solution of the problem.
(2.) To let them alone, only taking
care to protect our frontier settlements
/ against them as best We could, which
would be but indifferently, and In
course of time they would perish from
the earth. In the meantime they
would be vagabon1s and bandits, and
a hindrance to our progress. Tbs lead
required to shoot at them would cost
more than bread to feed lhem.
(3) To accept them as dependents
| of the government, justly entitled to
its care and protection. The last Is the
only course our sense of duty and hu-
manity could for y moment ent'r ain.
The question is how to care for them l..
So far our policy has been to induce
them to take bread in lieu OF blood,
and whom the reign of peace has lasted
| from one annual appropriation 70
another, we have congratulated our,
selves, and been content to begin anoth-
or year Just where the old one was be-
gun. We have bought peace by the
month, to have it delivered to us by
the day.
Nothing has been gained-no security
for the future, no decrease In the num-
Der of mouths to feed. 1t is not the
only fault ofthis hsnd-to-mouth policy
that 1t costs money, and will continue
to do 80 in an increasing ratio for ar
indefinite time. 1t has not secured, MOI
will it ever secure, peace. 1t has no
civilized, nor will it ever civilize,
single Indian.
:, An Indians life is nomadic, his oc-
cuption is war. The glOries OF his tradi
tions centre in scenes of blood. He is
braggart, and the burden OF his boast
is his deeds of daring. The youth lis
ten to the old recountiDg the glorioU
memories of the bloody past, their i'm
agination is fred to tho highest pitch
! and they long to prove their Prowess
To the Indian mind the warriors lite
the only one worth living. The oil
!; ones, who have had enough Of unsuc
cessful war, may try to prevent, but tn
young spirit will prevail, and murde
and plunder commence. This IS no
a put forward as the only cause Of Out
breaks, but it is a fruitful cause Q
a them.
No amount of care and kindly trea
: ment-save in the presence of actut
a and ample force-can prevent troub
= with the Indians until they are in
= great degree co colvelted from their nat
ural state. So long as we neglect
