Indian Matters.

The rain has detained Major Lincoln
and DR.. Bickford in Benton, delaying
their proposed visit to the pleasant val
ley of HighWood. In d conversation
with the major yesterday, he informed
us that everything was moving along
pleasantly, IS usual, at the agency. Al
though the reduction in the appropria-
tons by congress for the. Indians has
effected him to some extent, bringing
about a decrease Of supplies, yet he anti
cipates no trouble whatever, for the rea-
son that the agency IS III the heart of
good hunting grounds and his wards
manage toa great extent to provide for
their own wants II the Indians de-
pended entirely upon the government
for support they would certainly nave a
starvation time Of 1t, as his allotment of
supplies is not more than half enough
to feed them. The major says he can
appreciate the difficulties under which
Major Young labors. The latter receives
no more rations than does the former, in
proportion to the number of Indians
under his charge, and while the Delknap
Indians can in q good part sustain them
selves by the chase, the Blackfeet have
no hunting grounds whatever, unless
they go hundreds Of miles from the
agency. It IS clear enough that the
government should make distinctions i'll
such eases, but it does not. Ia two or
three years from this time, il civilization
continues to make the same rapid
strides in Montana, the fields that now
afford game for the Indians of the Belk-
nap agency will be in the possession of
the white man, and game as scarce as it
is new about Major Young's domain.
The day is fast approaching when the
policy Of the government as regards
these Indians must undergo Il radical
change.

r. J. Casey informs rs that Medicine
Hat, the place where the Canadian
Pacific crosses the South Saskatchewan,
is having quite q boom and the pros
poets are that during the fall and winter
quite q town will be built up there. The
rrilroad people think it will be the win

from which the Benton branch will
start, thus giving it considerable pres
tige. The land grabbers are there in full

One man sold his claim to d small tract
Of land for $4,000, and the same tract
could not now be bought for double the

EMPRESS DELITERIES.

It time the courts were asked to declare the
rights and duties OF expresses in making deliveries
of parcels addressed to persons living upstairs"
box or bundle for n tenant OF an entire house Is
probably well delivered by handing it IN at the
front door; and likewise addres, ed to Il large
mercantile or manufacturing firm. controlling the
ground floor may doubtless be delivered at the
main entrance. The expressman cannot be required
To carry it upstairs because the cOnslgnee wishes
TO have it placed there for That Is his affair.
Let him pay for that extra work. But can express
men clam the same privilege of delivering at the
front door of the building in where the person
addressed has control of the entrance or hall, no
servant or representative there, responsibility
for what is done there, but is only a tenant of Il
room or floor in the upper storicsi The immense
buildings which abound IN the chief cities,
rising TO eight and ten stories. and
divided into independent apartments for homes or
suites of offices for business use. do not, rs a
general thing maintain any custodian or caretaker
like the French concierge, whom expressman can

case in point lately narrated IL that "a lady living
in an upstairs Hat in an aparnent-house called at
an express Office TO give orders to have trunks sent
TO her; made special explanation to the clerk In
charge that they needed 10 be carried upstairs,
which he promised should be done. and paid the ex-
prcssagc asked; yet the driver on his arrival, re-
fused TO carry them up unless he were paid extra
for this service and on this being refused left the
baggage in tho hail below. The lady naturally COM
plains No doubt this occurs hundreds of times
every year IN this city Is il lawful delivery Sup

son for whom 1t designed bear the loss. eau no

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1882-08-05

Common sense seems to dictate that an express
man having undertaken to deliver trunk TO an in
dividual named must deliver it to him in person. or
at least must leave it with his family, servants or
clerks in premises occupied by him. To leave it in
the hallway of some immense caravansary in the
upper part of which he may have place is little if
at all better than leaving it in the street near by or
notifying HIM to come TO the express Office for it.
If the recipient comes down and accepts the parcel
at the main entrance. very well the duty of the
carrier is discharged but if not the latter remains
responsible for it,
Express companies argue that they cannot make
deliveries upstairs it takes too much time ; the
driver cannot leave his horses etc. AS these OBJ
jectOns never raised when the extra fee is paid
to the driver, they cannot be very strong. They
only mean that the carrier cannot 50 easily perform
all he has undertaken as half of It, This is no ex
cuse Carriers must provide the men and facilities
necessary for delivering property according to their
engagements They have an undoubted right to
proportion their charge to the services rendered.
and may demand for instance sixty cents for deliv
ering stairs when fifty would be the price at the
door To fair difference in expressage the upstairs
public would probably not object. Dropping valu-
able parcels in an open hallway, where they maybe
at the mercy Of lOafers and sneakthoves, upon the
prete1t that leaving them at the building named In
the address discharge of the carriers duty, Is
preposterous and unsatisfactory.

The platform and the candidates speech
dovetail perfectly. Both contain some high
sounding declarations of devotion to the equal
rights of all, when it is notorious that II equal
rights were enjoyed in South Carolina no Bour-
bon would ever hold Office again. The plat
form. for cool impotence, eclipses the speech.

Justice and equality for all, to insure harmony

"no sectionalism in policy or feeling; an indls-

glorious Democratic victory. This is the
Bourbon idea of Anglo Saxon civilization. 1t

vail in the South only until the misguided
people of that section discover that the COM
