As if the fast steamship lines did not fur
nish sufficiently rapid transit for cholera,
some of the too awfully scientific men with
whom the world is afflicted are talking of its
possible passage by telegraph. Professor
Hardin, of Ballot College, Oxford, who is
now in this country, has been interviewed
upon the theory. He thinks that power
which transmits sound movement and heat
might also convey impalpable influences of
disease though this is at variance with the
germ theory. He does not, however, be-
lieve that cholera will come from Egypt by
the telegraph wire for the following able
reasons: 'In the first place." says the Pro-
fessor, "the operator at the Egyptian end of
the wire would have to be suffering from
cholera, which could hardly be if he were at
work. The only one affected, too coneeiv-
ing such thing as this, would be the oper-
ator on that particular line, and he couldnot
transmit it any further, unless he should go

TWO rather remarkable suicides are reported
from Pennsylvania. One is that of young man
who went to his room last Sunday morning, and
put pistol ball through his head because his
father had ordered him not to leave the house
unless he would so to church. The other case is
that OF dog. whose daily duty for three years
and half had been to work the tread wheel of a
churn The other day he refused to work, and
allowed the rope encircling his neck to sUrangle
him. The owner took the animal out, when he
at once revived and frisked about joyfully He
was then replaced in the machine, when the
same scene was repeated. The third time, in or
der to discover how long he would hold out, he
was allowed to remain hanging by the rope I'M
til he was dead. That the dog displayed better
reasoning powers than the man no one will
deny. Had he been required TO attend church
instead of tread-wheel the ssgacious animal
would probably be alive to-day.

THAT scheme now in process of incubation,
to stock certain parts of the Indian Territory
with cattle at government expense, will bear
very careful investigation, and after the in
vestigation the project will likely go to
pieces, The congressman who loads up with
maudlin sentimentality, and fires off speech
in favor of the old flag and big herd of
Eteers for the Indians, at government ex-
pense is liable to meet with serious accident
in the succeeding campaign. There has
been about as much laundering and "bank-
ing" on this Indian question as the people
can stand, and there is loud call for the ap-
plication of the principles of justice and
common sense in the future dealings with
these wards of the nation"

at is asserted that the operators should
moderate their demands. Possibly. But of
what avail would be any offer of compromise
from them at this stage of the conflict, when
the Western Union refused in the very out

gave the company great advantage by adj
herring to the rules of their organization
prohibiting them from resorting to a strike
without first making an effort to compro-
mise by means of arbitration. For that they
obtained no credit from the telegraph COM
panies, but their committee, instead, was
contemptuously ignored. Were they to offer
a compromise now, the companies would re-
gard it only as sign of weakness, and would
doubtless persist in refusal of all recognition
of their organization. The companies made
not the smallest step toward compromise,
although they had due notice of the strike,
and had reason to know that it would result
in great injury to the public interests. But
their organs talk of the violation of duty on
the part OF the operators in abandoning posts
of trust and responsibility. 1t is compla-

a sprinkling of unbelievers. The exercises

THE vlncennes Sun tDemocratic) SAYS:

"The strikers talk about tyranny. and they
themselves are the very worst tyrants, because
they make their comrades stand with them de-
spite the pangs of hunger and suffering families,
and they make the whole country suffer with
them to crafty their revenge on u dozen men
They cry out against a monopoly and they are
exercising the meanest monopoly that ever was
conceived ora monopoly of labor which should
be free The strikers merely pattern after the
men they criticse and try to Cypress the oppres-
sors. Till the millennium there Will never come
a time when such things will cease, for though a
revolution place the poor where the rich are and
vice versa, we should still have strikes by the
rich grown poor, against the poor grown rich,
and all account of the human family being
miserable tyrants when they can"
And the South Bend Tribune says:
SIT is easy to foresee the result OF both of
these strikes The telegraph company will be
disconnected few days until new operators
learn the ropes, and all will go on as before
until the strikers are willing to come back at
the old wages II the company are willing to take
them. The cigar manufactures Will remain
closed until the owners are tired OF losing mon
ey, when they will open them and take back the
same workmen they locked out. In both cases
nothing will he gained. great deal of bad feel
ing will be engendered, and a great deal of sur
fering among the poorer employees will ensue.
In both cases the difficulty could have been set
tied by arbitration on a basis fair and hOnDra-
BILE to both parties"

gratifies his animal instincts. He never
stops at the threshold of the white mans
home, and never hesitates to dash out the
brains of helpless children and to ravish,
dying and dead, the white mans wife. The
North American Indian, so lar from being
the noble red man that the novelist has de-
lighted to picture him, is relentlessly blood
thirsty and cruel. His centuries of inter
course with the whites has taught him
absolutely nothing and he is as wild, as
vagrant, as useless to himself and
to Others and as murderous, as
he was when the country was first dis
covered Any other being but an Indian
would have benefited by contact, and would,
at least have initiated the superior ways of
the whites. But he has gone doggedly on in
his stubborn barbarism, and lives as precari-
ously, and brutalizes those about him as eff
fectually, as did his ancestors of the fifteenth
century. The Indian has to be dispossessed.
Civilization will not stop for wild beasts and
cannot be stayed in its onward march by
wild Indians.
