What Shall We do With Them?

San Francisco Chronicle.
General Crook has returned from the
heart of the Sierra Madres, bringing
with him the murderous Chiricahuas of
whom he went in search. Little so far
seems to have been gained by the cap
tire. 1t is a repetition of the story of
the white elephant, He has a quantity
of bad Indians on his hands and does not
know what to do with them. He has not
yet disarmed them, because if the Mexi-
cans claim them as subjects he may think
best to give them his blessing and a sup
ply of ammunition and send them back
across the border. From the standpoint
of the present the campaign appears
to be a brilliant failure. If he had left
the Indians in the Sierra Madres, it is
not impossible that they would ere now
have been annihilated by the Mexican
Jealous of and would have given no quar-
ter in case of capture. Were the Indians
dead General Crook would know what to
do with them. Meanwhile Secretary
Lincoln is filled with dismay, He would
be glad to turn them over to the interior
department, but Secretary Teller does
not want them. The agent at San Carlos
declines them with thanks. The good
Indians ON the reservation-and it
is pleasant to hear among so much
aboriginal badness that there are
really good Apaches-decline to wei
come the wanderers and have held a
democratic convention to express THEN
disgust in dignifed form. 1t is a most
singular complication, and it seems hard
in such a muddle to reconcile the con,
tending claims of justice and humanity.
If these Apaches are surrendered to tn,
Mexican authorities rs prisoners of wac,
there may be an auto-ddfe at Hermo
sillO, like those 5 o successfully practiceC
by the ancestors of the Sonorans at tn,
time of the lnquisition. Should this b,
done it is improbable any good citizen o
Arizona would, by protest or otherwise
interfere, for he is O firm II believer il
drastic measures when it is de
sired to purge the land of saw
ages. AS the r~enegrades are ol
this side of the border negotiations be
tween the two nations can proceed wit
greater comfort to the American authori
ties. The solution of this problem is i
their hands, and wherever these Apache
are put, it should be in a place wher
they car never again make trouble.

DORSEY1S pITRLOTLShL

Since the day when the energetic worl
of Thomas l.. James, seconded by Jamei
4. Garfield. resulted in the finding Of in
dictments against the gang of star rout,
iobbers. Stephen W. Dorsey has beer
pathetically appealing to his party patri.
otism in order to create republican sym.
pathy for himself in his disgrace. A
patriotism which contents itself with
using party as a means for personal ag.
grandizement is very little credit to the
posscssor and less use to the party itself.
Men who howl loudly for the old flag
while thinking only of an appropriation
have no right to iatter themselves over
their loyalty to the government, and ras-
Gals who successfully pull the wires of a
political organization to increase their
own influence and mask their private in
famies deserve no sympathy from party
leaders when they are tripped up by JUS
tice and receive the exposure and disgrace
which they deserve.
Dorsey and Brady were undoubtedly
of great assistance to the republican
leaders in carrying the last national cleo
ton. Dorsey was a man of wide political
experience. He knew that platforms and
speeches could not be depended upon to
win votes unless backed by "A good work
ing organization. AS secretary of the
national republican committee, he was
brought into intimate relationship with
influential republicans from every state
in the union, and he played his cards
well to increase a personal influence
which he hoped would stand him
in good stead if his conspiracy
to rob the treasury eve came to light.
Mr.. Dorsey was a bowling patriot. He
gloried in republican principles and he
placed every confidence in republican
promises, especially those which he be-
lieved bore some reference to his own re-
demption. He claims that he spent
$4,000 out of his own pocket from pure
patriotism for republican success, chiefly
in Indiana and Ohio, and no one will
doubt the assertion who watched the
conduct of the campaign in those states,
Mr.. Dorsey was a patriot from expedi.
ency and a plunderer from principle. 1t is
decidedly cheeky in him at this late day.
when he has done more than any on,
man to imperil republican supremacy T.
plead his party services as proof "of thu
splendid ingratitude' of dishonest power
The scandal of the star route, in which
Stephen w. Dorsey was the prim'
mover and head center, has knocked
more party patriotism out of hundreds O
republican voters than was ever worke'
up by all the Bradys and Dorseys, an
Others of the disreputable gang who gre,
fat from the treasury.

THOSE snail pace railroad trains across
the continent will soon be AS much a
thing of the past as the overland stage
coach. The fast train schedule of the
Union Pacific will be matched by fast
trains over the Burlington and Rio Grande
route to Denver and Ogden. 1t is also
foreshadowed that the latter roads will
1901 put a second through train on the
line between Chicago and Ogden, which
may compel the Union Pacific to increase
the speed of the day express that leaves
Omaha at noon. The route across the
plains certainly will afford a splendid
field for lightning travel.

good conduct and fair dealing that upon
u promise of indemnity, supported by
any consideration whatever, the company
shall be bound, whatever may be ON
cealed in a labyrinth If conditions and
exceptions, to defeat its operation. 1t is
easy enough to withhold the policy until
payment Of the premium, and that course
of dealing will deceive no one. But tEe
delivery of the policy imparts indemnity
in a way which most men will accept
without question. We think that the
contract between these parties was com
plete when the policy was delivered, and
the defendant is liable on it,"

ANOTHER movement is to be made by
the pension agents this winter to secure
an increase in pensions. When 1T Is Ia
ken into consideration that about forty
per cent of our national expenditures
this year consists in pension payments
this information is extremely interesting.
The last arrears bill was log-rolled through
congress Just before a presidential cleo
ton, when neither party dared to commit
itself against it through fear of losing the
soldier vote the coming campaign. The
same tactics are to be tried once more.
1t will be a very doubtful experiment
this time. No n questions that disabled
soldiers deserve pensions and ought t.
get them. and that their widows must no
be permitted to suffer. But the pension
dodge has been worked to such a pitcl
that every volunteer who has contracted
the rheumatism fifteen years after hi
discharge, and who falls into the hands
of the pension sharks, is an applicant 70
the public bounty. 1t is an insult to tn,
old soldiers of the republic to suppos'
that they are the importunate beggar
that these blood-suckers would max,
them out to be.
We are BOW paying a hundred millions @
dollars a year on the pension account
That is a very large sum, but every cen
of it must be raised from taxes levied o
an overtaxed people, The party tina
tries to find another peg to hang pension
on is likely TO lose more votes than
will gain by the attempt. There is
limit beyond which the mine of publ
gullibility cannot be worked, even Wit
yote-making as its object.

AcquittaRinthe Star Route Gases.

st. Louis Republican.
A conviction in the star route trials has
hardly been expected. The character of
the jury has, not been such as to- warrant
any great confidence in their ability to
divine the truth, and in their virtue
should the truth appear very plsin. The
mode of trial has been so extraordinary,
and every step has been so dilatory, and
all has been 80, complex, that Cor months
conviction has seemed improbable. Men
bent on reaching Just ends andi executing
Justice world not have dallied along as
the court has in this trial. n state trial
which really means. anything is never
conducted in this way. The length of
the speeches was, to the last degree, alb
surd. But an acquittal WAS hardly ex-
pected. The defendants had
been adjudged morally guilty
by the country with a unanimity rarely
witnessed in any case. There was not a
doubt ia the minds of anybody of a con-
spiracy to rob the government. 1t was
quite generally expected, therefore, that
there would be a failure on the part of
the jury to agree. A verdict of acquit-
tai is for these reasons something of a
surprise.
There are those, however, who think
the trial has not been entirely in vain.
This opinion has an insufficient basis.
The result will rather confirm every pee
ulator and treasury parasite and profess
sional CONTRACTOR and straw-bidder in the
belief that criminal responsibility Cal
never be fixed on him, and the Who'll,
body of this gentry will rest secure tina
, they may conspire with impunity
Charges of this nature, it will be assumed

I If there is any possible good to result

I'M STONE.

This paper has been a steady and
a consistent advocate Of granite as the
best and in the end the cheapest of all
paving materials. 1t took this position
before the board Of public works was Gre
ated and a paving tax authorized. 1t
fought for the granite blocks on Tenth
street, and has urged the adoption of
that material on every heavily travelled
street in Omaha. The effort, now being
made by the Republican to divert pub
lie attention from it's recent malicious
and uncallcd for attacks upon another
paving material by alleging that THE
BEE has become the organ of the asphalt
reader. Our views on the superiority of
granite blocks over any and every other
matarial have undergone no change, and
no amount of patronage from asphalt
contractors is liable to change it.
We have always recognized that, next
to granite, sheet asphalt laid IN concrete
is m excellent pavement for streets on
which the traffic is light. For such
streets it is better than any other known
material, if laid down under favorable
conditions. Everybody knows that this
has been an unusually stormy season, and
contractors both for stone and asphalt
pavements have suffered serious damage
and great Inconvenience. To pronounce
against any pavement because an untin'
ished section damaged by heavy foods
appears to a disadvantage, would be un'
fair as well as senseless. We might
as well condemn brick as
; a building material because the founda
ton of several brick blocks suffered NOR,
! or less by the same terrific rain storm
Or we might pronounce against the use o
brick entirely because stone is a mor'
y durable material for foundations. This i
