THE MAN ON THE AVENUE.
Small Talk About Men and Measure.


At an "experience meeting" last evening
an ex-Indian trader related the following in
cident:
"The novelists' tales of Indian stoicism fall
short of the mark. When in southwestern
Colorado i was present when the agency
surgeon cut off the leg of an old
Indian brave, who had been terribly hurt
by the fall of a horse The surgeon adj
ministered chloroform and performed the
operation. The assembled braves were
thunderstruck at the manner in which the
wounded man indured supposed agony, and
the old man was equally astonished on recov-
ering consciousness to find that his leg had
been cut of. He couldn't understand it, and
after gazing at the stump for long time
with look of bewildermont he laid down
again. He was ordered TO keep perfectly
quiet, and for twenty-four hours he never
moved muscle, enduring the pain and
fever of the wound without a murmur
or sign of impatience. The surgeon
shifted his position, and another day
passed like the first. The third day tho
surgeon asked him how he felt. Placing his
hand on the stump the old fellow grunted,
Very sick What do you want me to do,
asked the surgeon, Cut of here he said,
placing his finger on his leg about three
inches above the bleeding end Of the stump.
But that will get sick too responded tho
medicine man. Then cut off here indicat-
ing the place, which was several inches above
the knee, to which reply was made: 1t will
do you no good, The fresh cut will get sick,
Passing his hand over his throat the old buck
simply said, Then cut of here
'The other braves were filed with admira-
tiOn at the old fellows pluck, and several OF
the younger me embers of tho tribe tried to
pursuade the surgeon to cut OFF their legs ia
see If they could stand the pain as we'll as the
old man, They thought they could undergo
no test that would 80 thoroughly and quickly
establish their reputation for bravery and en-.
durance. The wounded bucks injury healed
very soon, and in two or three weeks he
could be seen astrde his horse, not galloping
about to be sure, but still riding around. In
dians can stand more pain and make less fus'
about it than white men. There arc cowardly
Indians as matter Of course who raise Cain

Insincero Lamentations.


We note the daily laments Of the New York
Tribune concerning the wrong doings Of its demo-
cratic legislature with some satisfaction 1t was the
leading organ of those who pretended to believe
that the republican party needed rebuko, and
that democratic ascendency was moro desirable
than the election of Mr.. Folger. What 1t consld-
cred the "third term" or "stalwart" faction of
the party had to be crushed at every hazard.
About $4,000 republicans followed Its lead and
cast their votes for the popular reform governor,
Cleveland, and now, when every branch Of the
state and city governments are In democratic
hands the silly pretexts Of reform" are cast
aside, and the duplicate boards equally divided
in politics, are being subsided, and democratic
commissions substituted. Thus the police, health,
charity and street departments are all being placed
in the control of democratic mayor and board
Of aldermen. As long as the republicans con-
rolled the state the democrats insisted on equal
diyislon-though the legislature being omnlpotent
in the matter might have insisted on republican
boards. But no sooner has the state for once
elected democratic legislature IN both branches
and democratic executive, when they seize the
control of the police, and even grasp aiter the
board OF education. The national government
being republican the democrats favor appoint.
ments by competitive examination, and laws pre-
venting assessments Of salaries for political pur-
poses, but when a similar bill is introduced 10
regulate the tenure of the 2O000state and city Off
cials, the democracy looks up and says, wonder.
ingly "Do you SEQ anything green about us?
Now In all this we are not disappointed, nor has
the Tribune right to be, and therefore We regard
its daily lamentations as not entirely sincere.

The Moyement In Bnl,lmoro.

The fact is daily more apparent that the
independence exhibited by Virginia in break
ing the fettors Of bourbonism has become
contagious throughout the south. Tho cleo
tions in North Carolina, wost Virginia, and
Maryland last fall plainly indicated the
spread and growth of the spirit which has
successfully grappled with and overthrown
democratic domination in Virginia. The fol-
lowing frank statement of the condition of
affairs in Maryland is from tho Baltimore
Sm of Saturday:
Allowing for all possible differences in tho
merits Of the different tickets and Of individual
candidates the especial lesson OF the election last
fall was the evidence furnished that this com.
munity was no longer willing to submit to sys.
tenn Of back-ofce. hole in the. corner cut and.
dried nominations for important public posi-
ton, no matter by whom iathered or by
whom supported. The result Of the election was
sort of declaration of political independence,
and rs such 1t should be interpreted and needed
now. Tho same spirit Is at word in the community
yet only strengthened and encouraged by last
falls success.
This is right. There should be no moro Of
the coercive system of primaries permitted In
the great state of Maryland. The solid citizens
and leading minds of the democratic party are
compelled to revolt against the corrupt prac-
tees Of those who have assumed to be their
lords and masters, who CLEANED their strength
from the slums of the wharves and alleys Of
Baltimore They who have supplied tho
sinews of war to the democracy of Maryland
now sever from the corrupt organization and
declare their purpose openly. Having failed
to purify the party, they foresee its ultimate
downfall and withdraw from 1t in time to
save themselves from the general wreck.
The day of bourbon rule in Maryland has
passed away. Every patriotic citizen will hail
with delight the emancipation of another state
from the power which has unclaimed it so
long in real but disavowed hostility to the
general government and correlative hos
tility to the best interests of the people them
selves. 1t will be the duty of all upright cit
liens to cooperate with the independents and
young democrats in their present commend
able endeavors. Virginia and North Caro-
lima are free, West Virginia is on the highway
of progress, and now Maryland is wheeling
into line in earnest
Wipe out the unpatriotic gore
| That hecked the streets of Baltimore, Z.
And be a loyal state once more.

course of his address he said
To attain the elective franchise has been the
ultimate purpose of the matchless struggle of
liberty from the beginning of society The bal
lot is found to he the only mnnner'of the effect
i've expression of the will of liberty. Its pres
ence is the absence OF tyranny, aud The presence
OF tyranny is the absence of the elective fran
chise. 1t is the only foundation on which the
beautiful and benetocnt structure of self-gov-
eminent rest How essential, therefore,
that the source and fountain be pure: that the
ballot be intelligent and honest. An ignorant
and corrupt elective franchise cannot long sus-
tain any government, much less good one
The stream cannot rise above its source.
The history of the ballot is the history oe rep
resenative government So essentially are they
related that the annals of one cannot be written
without the Annals OF h' other.

and intelligence OF the voter Is question of life

DISMISSED THE CHARGE.
Rather Unusual Action of the Police in the
Schiller Lodge Liquor Prosecutions.

The charge brought by the metropolitan police
against the officers of Schiller Lodge of vIo-
lating the liquor ordinance was dismissed yes
terday and the cases dropped In this entire
matter the police commissioners, the superin-
tendept and the officers have acted in pursuance
to course of reasoning peculiarly their
own. First the officers demanded
admittance to Liederkranz Hall, where
the entertainment was in pro Gress, and on being
refused arrested members Of the lodge for viOlat-
ing the liquor laws. they being 40 the time
gagged In selling liquor, although it was later
than midnight. The charge was fought, and
Yesterday the prosecution was dropped, 1t is
understood that several of the German musical
societies, notably the MPnerchor and LyTa, sell
liquors TT all hours during their entertainments,
members, and Schiller Lodge claimed the same
privilege, admitting whOmsoeVer they chose, on
payment of a fee. When the officers presented
themselves at the door they refused to pay the
price of admission demanded, and made the ar
rests referred to. 1t will be remembered that
Mayor Grubbs refused some time ago to permit
socalled literary societies to sell intOXioants
during prescribed hours, and just where the line
Is drawn between the two it is difficult to
determine. BY the way, there is no
ordnance mentioning midnight as the
hour when the sale of liquors shall be
discontinued; IL O'CLOCK is distinctly mentioned,
hut the commissioners seem to have made "a few
little laws of their own, and instead OF enforcing
those already enacted by the proper authorities
take the liberty to legslate for themselves IL
from prosecuting these cases that some unusual
pressure has been brought TO bear upon them.
IL is SAID that Commissioner Murphy Is in favor
OF a strict enforcement of all laws.
