THE INDIAN RIGHTS SOCIETY.


 Friends of humanity will be deeply inter ested in the aims and works of the Indian Rights society, which. though it has been in existence but short time, is making good progress. The association was formed in Philadelphia by number of gentlemen who met at the call of the Hon. John Welsh. Its purpose is to secure to our Indian population civil rights and general education, assist the Secretary of the Interior and the commis- sioners of Indian affairs in carrying out the wise and just measures recommended by them in their last report and in time bring about the complete civilization of the Indians and their admission to citizenship. A large number of the most intelligent citizens of Philadelphia and other cities have joined this association.
 The need of such an association is plain. For while there are many good plans for the Indians there Is nobody who will see that they are carried out. As writer upon the sub ject well says Secretaries of the Interior change every two or three years. At least one instance is known where the Indian ring itself turned out 8 secretary because he would not audit an infamous account. There may be more such instances which are not known. The present secretary. MT. Teller, and his Indian commissioner, Mr. Price, made admirable suggestions at the opening of Congress, in the interests of a humane treatment of the Indians. Some of these simply propose legislation to carry out treaties which have been solemnly and glad Iy ratified. Yet nobody supposes that one of these recommendations will be attended to by Congress. Suppose the failure of such a recommendation should cause an Indian war. Suppose thousand or two of young braves, who have been kept at peace by the solemn promise of their Great Father and his senate that this or that should be done, year. Suppose that in their disgust at such treatment they rebel. Suppose thatst to crush the rebellion they are all killed by 8 division of the army, and that they kill five hun dred of the army while ''the war" goes on. Suppose that a little group of contractors on the frontier make million dollars profit out of this ''war." Who will be responsible for this 'Indian outrage ?'' Certainly not MT. Teller or MT. Price. They nave DlOHu Gu0lE tEuupSG auu GAAs D4OOO 1S not on their hands. -$
 number of Boston gentlemen interested in the Indian problem met recently and took measures to enlarge the numbers of the asso- citation in Boston. There are good men all over the country who would be glad to help in such good work, and it is to be hoped that they will be given an opportunity to doro

being the best story teller in Kentucky, where most of the story -telIers live, gave an account, to little dinner party the other day, of an interview with certain MT. Wat kins, of Vermont, which he told with skill of facial expression that would have made his fortune on the stage. The rules about admission to the floor of the House are very strict, and conversation with member can only be had by an outsider by sending in a card through the doorkeeper, when the mem- Der emerges, hurries through the talk and goes in again. As members are usually pret- ty well occupied, it is expected that these in- terViews shall be brief possible. One day MT. Knott received the card of MT. Wat kins, of Vermont, whom he did not know He went out, met long, lean man with a solemn countenance, and this conversation followed:
 'sBe you MT. Knott, the funny man 20
 'sYes, sir, D said MT. Knott promptly, land I'm great deal funnier than you'd suppose. The fact is that don't dare to be as funny as I can be. I've already sacrificed the lives of several of my friends through reckless exercise of my humorous powers, and go about under constant sense of self-re- Gtraint'
 'tBe you from the Blue Glass region or the Penny-ryal ?" I
 '.I'm from the Penny-ryal" Here Mr. Knott began to be a little uneasy. They were just beginning roll-call in the House. Mr. Watkins shifted to his other foot and be- 7 gan again ''What kind of cattle do they have down in Kentucky?"
 'sWell, we still have 8 very fine breed of the megatherium there. But the pleiosaurus and the icthyosaurus, I'm sorry to say, are rapidly dying out. It will be Q great loss to the State, because they are very tame and have been used great deal for domestic pur- poses. good many of the ladies make pets of them''
 MT. Watkins seemed little surprised, but he got on the other foot and changed the subject:
 'Do you know Mary Anderson ?'
 'tOh, very well.''
 ''Is she so purty?"
 "Ravishingly beautiful"
 MT. Watkins paused moment. MT. Knott could hear the roll call travelling rapidly to- ward the Ks.
 Juliet ?"
 ssOh, frequently"
 Do you think Romeo and Juliet is the best play Shakespeare ever wrote ?''
 ''Well now, my friend, you'll have to ex- cuse me from expressing my opinion on that point. You see, I'm coming up for re-elec-. tion, and feeling is running pretty high in my district now on that very question. About half of my constituents say that Ro- meo and Juliet is the best play Shakespeare ever wrote, and about half of them swear it isn't. So you see if should commit myself it would damage me very much in the cam paign."
 'sOh," said MT. Watkins. Then he pulled out of his pocket 8 little Connecticut watch, about the size of quarter-dollar. stDo they sell many of them down in Kentucky ?''

About Some Right. and Wrongs,

To ths Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the father of American Democracy, says: ''We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Gre ator with certain inalienable rights; that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness But Thomas Jefferson, and those who voted for the Declaration of Inde- pendence in 1776 were wrong. Some persons have no rights. Judge Fancy said that ne- groes had no rights which white people were bound to respect; but do not mean negroes I mean those strange people who believe that Sunday is the Christian Sabbath; that it is as long as any other in the week; that loud and disorderly noises, public amusements, and keeping liquor or gambling saloons open, on any part of that day, are all wrong; and that the existing laws against those dear rights of boys and men should be enforced. Now such persons are not entitled to the least consideration. They have forfeited their rights, if they ever had any. No matter if they are white people; no matter if they are voters in New Haven; their ideas are old fashioned and puritanical; they have no right to live in New Haven, or to breathe its free air they ought to be banished at once, or else keep still and do as the rest here do. Newsboys who make the Sunday morning ring with their cries and disturb twenty peo- pie to sell one paper, these have rights peo- pie who want to get drunk on Sunday have rights; boys and men who want fun all day Sunday, and all Sunday night too. have nights and all these must have their rights. Therefore the Puritans and old fogies must get out of the way or keep still. Clear the ffaek for the enlightened men and boys of these days The Sunday newsboys and their patrons, those who are connected with sa- looms and thcaters, and those who want to go to them, have all the rights; and they mean to keep what they have and get what they can. People may go to church on Sundays, as well as on other days, if they want to go. and will not make too much noise about It; they are not vet compelled to buy Sunday papers to save thairreputations or their lives; but they must beware The old fanatics are on their good behavior now; they cannot be tolerated here much longer, unless they con form to Che spirit of the age. The world moves fast New Haven is moving very fast: we are living here, in the very bloom of ttis glorious nineteenth century, where everybody has his rights, except those who are behind the times. Glorious New Haven't What will you do about Sunday nuisances and Sunday crimes, old fellows, while you have chance to live and act in New Haven 1? What will you do about such things, fellow citizens, before it shall be too late

An Asylum for the Insane Needed i'm New

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 saw by your paper of recent date that there were two insane persons waiting to be sent to the insane retreat. Would it not be better for the citizens of New Haven to build an institution of that kind than it s to build a worthless park or monument at 8 cost. of fifty thousand dollars2 think if there is any class of people that need place of care and safety it is the insane. If it cannot be built by the town let 1t be built by subscrip ton and will give one hundred dollars for that purpose to start with and if necessary I will give more. G. K. WHITING.

whether or not the cultivation of the soil would result in purifying the poisonous at- mosphere of the Campagna. The results thus far have been most satisfactory. At first the monks were obliged to live within the city walls during the bad season but, since the ground came under cultivation, and above all since the EcScGlyptus glo6ulus was planted on large scale in the neighborhood, the Abbey has been inhabited all the year round, and the fevers from which it's inmates still sometimes suffer are of mild character and rarely fatal; whereas at the outset some thing like fourth of the little community 2S0 convicts employed on the works is satis- factory, the average annual deaths from ma laria not exceeding three. The government has lately made very large grant of land in perpetuity to the Trappists, who have already planted on it no fewer than 100000 eucalyp- tus trees, which are all doing well.
 Those who are conte nding for municipal suffrage for women in Massachusetts are doing all they can for their cause. A letter marked 'tpersonal" has been sent to every Democratic member of the Legislature ask ing him to support the woman suffrage bill on these grounds: The Democratic party of Massachusetts, in it's platform of 1871, re- ferring to this question, declared that: 'fWe regard it as an existing fact that suffrage is right and not privilege, and that any re- striction on it's exercise should be founded in unnlistakable policy" Last year in the platform it was declared that the party is in favor of 'tEqual rights, equal powers, equal burdens, equal privileges and equal protec- tion by law under the government for every citizen of the republic without limitation of race, or sex, or property qualification, whether it be by tax on property or poll tax on persons" Gov. Butler, in his mes- sage, affirmed his belief that women citizens have the right to vote under the constitution of the United States. It is very important that the Democratic party should keep faith with the people by 8 consistent support of the principles of it's platform. Among the signers of the appeal are Judge Abbott, pres ident of last years Democratic State conven- tion, Mayor Palmer, Frederick O. Prince, secretary of the Democratic national commit tee, Chairman French of the State committee, the Democratic presidents of the Boston boards of aldermen and commo on council, the editors of the two Democratic Boston dailies and others.

 The case is to go to the court of appeals, but the anticipation is that the decision will not be reversed.

The origin of the word 'tmashsr'' is just now subject of some discussion The theory has been put forward that it came from naG eaere. Another idea is that it came from 'tmesh''-that stmashern is one who meshes or nets. The latest notion is that it is derived from the name of an old sea cap tain who lived in New York The story Is that he used to make trip three or, four times year to the West Indies. and on his return with pockets laden with. gold nothing was too good for him. Indeed, he was . strange sight at times with his hat dscked out with feathers and coat turned inside out, astride an old white horse that he had hired from some drayman, and with crowd of 100 boys or more always following him "Some days he would distribute $50 or more in loose change among the boys. and it was 8 sight to see them scrambling over one anoth- CT to get the coin. The mans name was Macha, pronounced by the boys .Mashsr. This was taken up by them, and thereafter invariably whenever they saw man at all remarkable in appearance he was termed snasher.'"

Who is to be Prosecuting Attorney contin ues to be g very interesting question. Mir. E. P. Arv1ne is frequently mentioned in con- nestion with the office, and two of our es- teemed contemporaries have announced their belief in his fitness for the place. We agree with them in this matter. MT. Arvine is one of the best of the younger lawyers of the city. He has very thorough knowledge of the law. He is strictly upright, fearless and independent. If he were Prosecuting Attor- ney the business of the office would be Rt- tended to promptly, impartially and ably. His appointment would be commended by the bar, and would be generally recognized as suitable. We know of no lawyer who could be induced to take the place that is more fit for 1t.

Something may be learned from the result of unlimited competition by gas companies in London. At one time in that city there were no less than twelve gas companies- The consequence was that the streets were nearly impossible. Besides the necessary tearing sp of roadways for placing pipes and repairs, the gas companies inflicted needless injuries upon each others pipes and mains. Leaks were purposely started, or purposely let con tinue; joints were imperfectly made, and every species of petty annoyance was resort cd to. At last the city was compelled to make it regulated monopoly. John Stuart Mill expressed the opinion that gas compa- nies cannot, for the public good, be allowed to enter into competition with each other. The Washington National Republican pertinently remarks 'tMr Mill did not know that in this country they do not compete. They are organized with twofold purpose-frst, not to give light; next, to sell out to each othern
