Our Indian Population.

In the past twelve years there has been
an increase of twelve hundred per cent.
in the agricultural labor performed by
Indians. Their improvement in other
respects has been wonderful. The
"peace policy" Of President Grant
which means good treatment for all who
deserve it, helpful hand for all who try
to make progress in the ways of civilized
life-has been prolific of the best results.
A continuation of the system is eminently
desirable, but it must not be forgotten
that Indian malefactors, as we'll as those
Indians who give shelter and pro-
lection to criminals, are to be
justly punished. Experience has shown
that these people can be civil
lied. Many thousands of them
have become good citizens, and many
other thousands are making fair advance
ment toward civilization and self-main-
tenance. There are few thousand red
devils" who perpetrate horrid crimes
and cause heavy annual expenditure in
military operations. The most rigorous
severity toward these outlaws is the
broadcast humanity. 1t is of the highest
Importance to impress on the Indian
mind the lesson that "the way of the
transgressor is hard" and to bring all
these wards of the Nation" to q speedy
comprehension of the fact that one who
is too proud or too lazy to work ought to
starye.

The District Commissioners will soon take UP the
question of erecting two or three new police sta
tion-houses Some of these houses, which have
been leased for the purpose, are in most dilnpi-
dated condition. II so happens that the principal
one-that known as the Central "-lo. ated on
Tenth street, is the worst in the lot The best of
these buildings are owned by the District and arc
located, one in Georgetown one in the West End
ION X, near Twentieth street,, and the other on
Capitol Hill, none of which are as much used us
the Central. While the average number of arrests
In those named Is not more than one hundred
and fifty per month the average arrests made in
the Central Precinct Is about twelve hundred,
and 1t frequently happens that respectable and
genteel persons are obliged to resort TO these
places either MS witnesses or on some trihlng
charge of misdemeanor. The condition of the
cells is simply deplorable, and frequented as
they are by all of the filthy vagabonds IL Is i'm.
possible to keep them free of vermin. The cells
are made of wood, tongue and groove Joints, which
are more or less open, and no device yet disooy-
cred can eradicate the vermin. OF course they
multiply and spread oil over the building, inyad-
ing the beds the reserve force The ventilation
of most of these houses Is altogether insufficient
and badly arranged, and the proximity of the on
GERS quarters to the prisoners renders sleep almost
impossible, especially when refractory and
drunken powons are confined there. Had II
the old Central Guard House last year the neces-
sary building to take the places of the rented sta
ton houses would have been erected, The prospect
now is that the technical objections in the bill Of

Crime in the Country.

"God made the country and man made
the town." says Cowper, but those who
believe in the existence of personal
devil may well contend that his Satanic
Majesty, even if he had no hand in
creative labors, has powerful influence
in the management of rural as well as
urban affairs. A careful analysis Of the
criminal record of the United States will
speedily dissipate the notion that rural
life is peculiarly conducive to true good
ness.
1t is a sad fact that in Goods free and
open country" where "sweet fields
arrayed in living green and rivers of
delight" where nature in her most glori-
GUS aspects should lift the soul to the
contemplation of Natures god, the most
awful crimes arc planned and executed,

The Mormon Usurpation.

The Mormon hierarchy in Utah is an
organized rebellion against the authority
and laws of the United States. 1t exer-
cises powers which would cause revolu-
ton if attempted by any other church
organization. 1t puts its laws concern
ing marriage and the family above the
laws which govern those whom it mock
ingly designates as "Gentiles." 1t con-
trolls property and its transfer by deed
and will in utter disregard of any law
but its own. 1t has possession of the
election machinery and grinds out its
own officers at pleasure. If polygamy
had no existence in Utah the
United States government would be
none the less bound sooner or
later to rid the Government OF
that Territory of the usurpations of an in
solent, oyerbearing, and hostile priest
hood. This is a government of law, and
freedom of religion carries with it no
power to substitute an ecclesiastic gov
eminent This question is one which
knows no party lines, and ii seems evil
dent that thoroughness of treatment is
to follow the long waiting of the past.
Senator Edmunds has done great work
in this matter, and has been ably sec
onded by Senator Garland.
