TIE INDIAN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION

An association has just been formed in Phila-
delpha, of which the object is " to secure TO the
Indians the political and civil rights already
guaranteed to them by treaty and statutes of
the United States, and such as their ciyii
zation and circumstances may justify" Mr..
WAYNE McVeagh is president, George NJ. Dali
las yice-presdent, and Mr. John Welsh, our late
Minister to England, Judge Sharswood and
other men of equal influence are among the
active members. 1t Is the Intention OF the men
making this movement to extend the Associa-
ton il possible, by the formation of branch
societies until it becomes "A National organ
ization; and in every practicable way to rouse
and keep alive public interest in the matter
until this .reat wrong is righted. Such societies
are springing up all over the country, in the
Church and out Of it; and the zeal with which
Young men especially are taking up the cause
of this wrOnged race reminds us of the fervid
enthusiasm of those other young men who
forty years ago took up the emancipation
of the slave as the work of their lives They
were few and feeble at first, but their zeal
bore great fruit. There can be no doubt that
the men who have set themselves to remove
this blot from the honor of the Nation will
succeed The fact that shrewd politicians are
now eager to lend a helping hand shows how
strong and deep the feeling for the Indian is
among the people. Mr.. Henry s. Pancoast,
one of the members of the Philadelphia asso-
citation, made last summer q tour among the
Indian reservations for the purpose of judging
OF the matter from his own observation. He
has recently published an account of what he
saw, and prefaces the narrative with clear and
succinct statement of the difficulties Of this
great problem and of it's remedies. "The In
dian," says, "s separated from the rest of our
population by two great barriers-the difference
"of race and the difference of his political
position-from that of every other man in the
community. The reservation is an island of
" darkness. On it the Indian is an alien. How
"can we keep these still places in the midst Of
"the current, bit of the stone age in the
"crush and fever of American enterprisei We
must either butcher them or civiliZe them,
land what we do we must do quickly" Educa-
ton he believes to be the first action neces-
sary to break down the race barrier. Secondly,
we must break down the tribal relation by
giving the Indian his land in severalty by an
absolute fee simple; and, thirdly, to give to

4 STRONG MIN COMING FoRWARD.

Mr.. John Morley now has an excellent chance
Of securing "A seat in Parliament. He is stand
inc az the Liberal candidate for the vacancy
for Newcastle-on- Tyne. caused by the retire
mont of Mr.. Ashton Dixie, brother OF the
Cabinet Minister. The district is one in which
an advanced Radical so distinguished as Mr..
Morley ought to find little difficulty III meaning
the poll. and unless Mr.. Governs intrigue
against him is more formidable than 1t has been
represented in THE TRIBUNE's special cable dls-
matches. he will probably have seat AT 81
Stephens when Parliament reassemhles. MI
Morley has made two unsuccessful attempts 10
enter Parliament, once IN by-elecuoh ht
blackburn, and again In the general election
of 1850 at Westminster, the constituency when
crowned itself with honor in electlng Johh
Stuart Mill as its representative, only to desert
and renudiate INN in tho end. The disciple
shared the fate of the master, for although Mt.
Mills successor in the leadership oil Radlcal
thought made n plucky fight he was defeated
by a heavy majority. Ii is strange that MI
Morley should have been denied so long tho
opportunity Of Parliamentary career anu II i
TO be hoped that the Northumbrian Liberals VIII
now give him elective support ana secure ms
election.
While Mr. Morley's reputation is based main
" up0n literary achievements such as his bio
crapbical studies of Voltaire. Rousseau and
Did.rot. and his Life OF Golden, he mas aimed
to be a practical politician rather than an au-
thor. His instincts have been democratic, and
he has interested himself in all questions relat-
ing TO the welfare and social elevation OF the
working classes lie has even avo"ed himself
a republican in principle, and invariably refers
in terms of respect and admiration TO American
institutions while at the same time he cannot
admit that the time has yet come for sweeping
away monarchy in England. Like Mr.. Mill, he
is subtle sccptc in matters of faith. but with
an earnestnoss of purpose and seriousness OF
tone which are almost religious, he has devoted
his intellectual powers and critical ability to
the discharge of his political obligations as
leader in the Radical school of thought which
has become 80 influential during the last de-
cade. Probably no other magazine editor has
done so much to promote intellectual activity
among educated Englishmcn, and &c make poll
tics q practical study to be diligently pursued as
one of the highest social Duties as Mr.. Morley,
40 long the conductor of The FOrtntghtly. De-
spite his independent position on the Irish
question, London journalism during the last
three years has felt the wholesome stimulus OF
his presence and has been invigOrated in tone.
The promotion Of so earnest and influential a
poltical thinker to active public life in est
minister will be an event of real significance.

STILL BLUNDERING.


We never had any doubt that our Demo-
cratic friends would blunder away the fruits
of their late victory and the prestige which
their success in the November elections gave
them. That of course was the expectation of
every intelligent citizen who had watched the
course of the party and known its history for
the past twenty years. 1t has so often upset its
own dish so soon as it was fairly filled that we
have come to look for nothing else. In the very
hour of its victory public opinion discounts its
defeat In the Immediately succeeding contest
Ii was in consequence of this feeling of the
comfortable and confident assurance that how
ever noisily they came in last November, they
had not come to stay, that the great good
natured public took it so philosophically as it
did, enjoying it all as q huge joke instead of
lamenting over it as O calamity. Everybody
understood that the first purpose being an
swered, of bringing the Republican party back
TO its senses and out of control of the Bosses"
the second was to give the Democratic party
rope enough to hang itself.
But no one supposed the lenders in the pres
ent Congress were going to begin the blunder-
ing so soon. 1t was thought the might pos
sess their souls in patience, and not begin
adjusting the moose around the party's neck
until the XLVIIIth Congress should have a
chance at it. There was a period OF few
weeks, as all remember, Immediately following
the elections, when the party seemed quite
sobered by the responsibilities it was about to
assume Some of its newspaper organs dis
coursed very sensibly upon the subject. They
seemed aware that the place of greatest peril
for the party was just on the edge OF power;
that it had been so long its habit as to have
become almost its second nature to go
wild with excuses on the heels of tenn
porary success, and so throw away the
further fruits of victory and they set them
selves at work to counsel reason and counter
act the ruinous tendency. They seemed so
conscious of the real state of affairs and dis
cussed 1T with 80 much reason and common
sense, and the whole party had such an APP
pearance of being impressed with the necessity
of behaving itself decorously and properly,
that we really had no idea that they would
commit any serious blunders during the short
session of the present Congress.
We counted too much on their discretion
and good sense. The Democrats of the
XLVIIth Congress could not wait for their
successors to begin the laundering. They
want to make the people sorry for having
given them a majority in the next Congress
before that body meets. They have entered
upon that enterprise With every prospect of
success. They are proposing to saddle
themselves with the responsibility OF do
