eminent, which is also marked sign of

their families, it Is natural for them to

is sought TO be put upon the public
schools, and more and more is expected
from reformatory institutions. The indi-
dividual by his own neglect of duty spoils
his children, and then he expects the State
to come forward and redeem them. This
will not do. 1t is state of things which
must break down by its own weight. No
State can stand firmly save upon the
foundation of sound family Institutions
The citizen, the husband, the father, the
wife, must be melded in the home circle,

bators for human characters, depend upon

recognition of the fact that reform influ-
ence requires to be applied first and most
! actively to the parents, rather than to the
children after they have become ruined by
neglect and evil training.

TIE USUAL FLOOD OF BILLS.

The usual food of new laws has begun
to pour into the Legislature, and the pres
ent Indications are that this session will
be as prolific of attempts at legislation as
any preceding one. 1t is pity that all
new bills cannot be referred to committee
authorized to weed out the unfit and i'm,
practicable ones, for such a process would
save much trouble to the Legislature and
expense to the State. Certainly when the
session was shortened to sixty DAYS some
provision ought to have been made against
overcrowding it. As it is there is no evil
dence that anybody anticipates briefer
session than usual. In another week, at
the present rate of introduction, there will
be bills enough before both houses to oc.
cupy a session Of ninety or hundred
days. The committees cannot in sixty
days do anything like justice to the work
put before them. They will be forced to
devote the bulk of their time to few
measures, and they must let the rest take
care of themselves.

The TREATY WITH MEXICO.

When commercial treaty with Mexico
was proposed, we were met at once with
our own protectionist doctrines. Mexico
wanted 70 protect home industry, and ia
deed it is not a little surprising that pro.
tectionist government like ours should
ever have thought of a commercial treaty
with another country, since it is clearly
inconsistent with cur prevailing economic
principles. The Mexicans, however,
proved as stancb Protectionists as ourselves,
and we could only obtain a treaty from
them on condition of leaving out of it all
articles manufactured in the country.
Under more enlightened economic govern.
ment we might have secured the full trade
of Mexico, but as the case stands we can
not of course make any objections to her
protectionist policy, and therefore we are
compelled to content ourselves with a
small portion of her commerce.

MARK 7wAIs,s rRouBLE.

We cannot understand the recent ju.

effect that his nom de plume Mark

not protect his works against unauthorized
publication. 1t may be good law, bat we
do not believe that it is, for it is not good
sense. A nom de plume certainly is a
method of Distinguishing writings which
corresponds in all essentials to the employ.

Clemens should be refused the prete ction
of his particular trademark we cannot
perceive. We hope he will appeal the case
to higher Court, SO that the principles
underlying it may be more fully analysed,
and an authoritative decision On point Of
much Importance to authors be reached.

TIE ALASKAN OUTRAGE.

We are glad to see that the press at the
East is taking up the Alaskan outrage,
and insisting upon an investigation, for SO
far the more this case has been examined
the worse it has locked. 1t is now charged
that the raid upon the Indian villages by
the Corwin was procured in the interest of
private firm, which had reasons for
wanting these Indians driven from the
neighborhood. But it really does not mat
ter whether this charge is true or not. The
simple facts of the case as related by the
tute an impeachment which the Govern.
ment cannot afford to ignore. 1t is quite
plain that the Indians whose villages were
shelled, and whose winter stores ard boats
and fishing apparatus were so ruthlessy
de stroyed, had not deserved that or any
other punishment. Even if some petty
offense could have been proved against H.
dividusl Indians, nothing can justify the
indiscriminate and barbarohs retaliation
upon whole villages. That kind of procedure
is literally an adaptation of savage methods,
and it is deeply discreditable to civilized
power. Among savages, when white
man commits an offense, it is thought
right to take vengeance upon any other
white man. But the United States Gov.
eminent is supposed to be civilized, and
yet in this case it has acted altogether
after the methods of savages. We desire,
however, especially TO point out the need,
not merely Of punishment for the officers
who have thus disgraced the Government,
but of PREPARATION and relief for the In.
dams who have been raided. The urgency
of this will be at once understood when it
is pointed cut that these Indians are in
imminent danger of perishing by starva-
ton, because of the destruction of their
winter provisions and boats. A Govern.
ment vessel ought to be sent up to Alaska
without delay, to supply the poor wretches
with provisions SO that they can get
through the winter. Unless this is done
it will be of little use to punish the COM
mander of the Corwin and his coadiutor
in the shameful affair.

DAYTON, January 12th.-In the trial of
0wen,y for the murder Of Cummings. the
prosecution rested at noon to-dsH They
have shown that Owenty was short Of money
before and flush after the murder. A man
answering his description was sssn riding
very fast from the scene of the murder next
morning. Subsequently Owenty paid out
new greenbscks which looked like those paid
to Cummings the day of the murder. Owenty
had pistol of the same caliber as the balls
extracted from the body and walls, and he
left Palouse City the day before and returned
the morning. after the murder. He was well
acquainted with Cummings, and was at
his Office frequently. The defense showed
that when blood stains become dry. human
blood could not be discsrned from animal :.
also that Owenty had handled freshly butch
ersd sheer, and beer, subsequent to the
murder. in the butcheling business.

A SUSPICION OF 1scESprARIsm.

1t is now said that the burning of the
Newhall House at Milwaukee is believed
to have been an incendiary act. Unfortu-
nately suspicion of this kind is very
difficult to prove, though the statement of
the elevator boy certainly seems to confirm
it. He says that he had only come up
from the lower floor OF the house few
minutes before the fire showed itself, and
that when he left the basement there was
no sign of anything wrong. But on the
other hand it must be remembered that
the hotel had long been regarded with ap-
prehension by all who were acquainted
with the manner of its construction, and
it also appears that on several previous
occasions it had had very narrow escapes
from FIRE. The theory of deliberate arson
is difficult one because it is almost i'm
possible 10 conceive of mind 80 depraved
as TO commit crime involving such appal-
ling loss of life as the destruction of that
building must have done at any time. But it
is only too evident that the proprietors of
the building, who knew its defects and the
danger it was always in, were quite will
ing to let eight hundred guests encounter
the frightful risk of residence in such
death-trap, and that they were determined
to keep the house open as long as it was
above ground. The construction of the
building seems to have been astoundingly
reckless. 1t is said that it had absolutely
no brick partition walls, but that it was
built of wood throughout inside. It is
perfectly evident that the building of
places of public resort and entertainment
In such fashion ought to be prohibited by
law under the most severe penalties, and
that the men who were willing to take
their chances on the burning of the New.
