The Indian Problem.


Secretary Teller proposes to deal
with che Indian problem in a sensible,
business sort of a way that promises
much benefit to the future of the abo-
riginals of America, if only the Depart
meht will continue to carry on the
same policy. The Secretary visited
the Carlisle school ashort time ago and
expressed a warm approval of the way
in which Indian children are there be.
ing educated, both in letters and me-
chanical arts, and declared that in his
opinion the only way to save the In
dian was to make him selfsupporting
and consequently Independent. lie
follows up this excellent idea by an
nouncing that he will use his influence
and all the money he can command to
make the Indians stock raisers, con.
verting their reservations into grazing
lands and allowing them their own
hocks aud herds bv which they can
make an honest living, and AS they
grow into the habit of saving up for a
rainy day they may become as indepen-
dent and wealthy as any of the white
people engaged in similar calling.
There is much to commend in this
policy. 1t will give the Indians some
thing to do which is, as nearly as may
be in accordance with their wild notion,
aud modes of living. 1t will give then
plenty of exercise, with no work that
an Indian will specially regard as de
grading to him. 1t will tend to keeI
them quiet by keeping the mind and
body employed, leaving little time tc
brood over their past glorics or fanciet
wrongs done to their race by the dumi
nant white man. 1t will educate then
in that underlying principle upon whicl
the whole structure of civilized society
is built; the principle of n,e,tna ett,uO,s
without which anarchy must soon pre-
vail, 1t will teach them to rely OF
their own resources, and not to depend
upon the charity of the State doled on
to them through thieving agents or ras
| cally contractors whose example as ;
rule are not calculated to inspire in tn
mind of an Indian any very elevated
idea of whitemen's honesty and truth
fulness and will in time relieve Con
gress fromthe annual wrangle over tn
Indian appropriation bill. One seriou
difficulty, however, TO the perfect success
OF this plan will be to prevent the COW
| boys and frontiersmen from stealing th
Indians stock, or defrauding them out O
their property by pretended PURCHASES
Otherwise we see no reason why thl
plan should not forever put an cud t
the now almost continuous petty wal
fare in TIE Indian country JVilkeS

THE STAR REUTERS ACQUITTED.

After trial lasting about six months
the Star Route thieves have been ac-
quilted. Such a result is disgrace to
the nation. The guilt of the accused
paAies was clearly established, but an
analysis of the jury gave little hope for
a conviction, as the general opinion
seemed to be that the trial would re.
suit in a disagreement. Although
Dorsey has threatened to institute legal
proceedings against newspapers that
have denounced him, the leading dai-
lies stand in no fear of him The Phil
adelphia Times says ..
1t would be idle to attempt to treat
the verdict of acquittal in the case as
entitled to any measure of respect, and
the grave reproach it puts upon the
government demands that the public
press shall call things by their right
names. Brady, Dorsey and other fel-
low conspiraors III the Star Route rob.
berries are public thieves. The public
know them to 10 such they will be
pointed out by the Kissing scorn of the
nation as self-convicted thieves wher-
ever they may go, and the world will
be too small to enable them to find a
resting place where they can meet with
forgetfulness OF their crimes They
corrupt the very fountain of the power
of the government. Their infamy
dates from the Senate, the first legis-
lative tribunal of the land, and from
the Cabinet, the constitutional council
of the President. They made perjury
and theft twin servants to give them
fortune by the NEST Infamous prosttu-
ton of political power, and they fifty
rounded out such career of crime by
the pollution of the very sanctuary of
justice.
The country ceased to hope for jus
tice in the late trial, when the character
of the jury was analyzed but it was
not expected that even Star Route de
fiance of law and public sentimen,
would extort an acquittal. The admo
milton of the first jury in the case, with
its members who defeated a conviction
trembling in the criminal dock at the
possible consequences of their disregarc
of sworn duty, was believed to bt
protection against such hagrant mis-
carriage of justice. But there has moi
merely been a miscarriage of justice
there has been total, revolutionary
overthrow of justice, in the only place
where it is presumed that law is su.
preme and justice inviolate. With one
juror exhibiting as drunken maniac
in court, just when the gravest duty was
to be performed, and with ignorance
and necessity fitting the jurors, as a
body. for easy prey to the desperate
tempter, it is not surprising, after all,
that verdict Of acquittal has been de-
manded by the contracting parties, in
stead of the equally effective shield
from punishment of disagreeng jury
The public thieves who have shamed
the nation by the most gigantic robbery
aud studied perjury, have been as brave
and desperate in corrupting the chan
nels of justice as they were brave and
desperate in public theft; and they will
go forth with an acquittal, that fifty
millions of their countrymen will de-
clare lie and consuming rcproach to
the Republic

The American Navy for Sale.

IF proof were needed of the awful
wanton waste of money in the Navy
Department during the past eighteen
years, it would be supplied by the fig.
ures which Indicate the age and cost c
the vessels offered for sale at auction
because they have rotted down and be-
come worse than worthless
Thirty vessels are to be sold. OF
these eleven have been built since the
last year of the war, at a cost for con-
struction and repair of S9,957,255, ex-
clusively ofthe cost of equipment. Very
few of these vessels have seen service
of any value and of them are so
young as to belong to the Robesonian
period, so fatal to ships and honesty.
They were built at time when the
war was behind US and when there was
not the slightest prospect that we should
have any use for navy, The CON
tractors were the only persons benefited
by this reckless expenditure.
We have trained no sailors on these
vessels. Our naval officers have been

norance, without even the slightest
knowledge of their profession Fail
ures as they are, these old hulks have

THE DUKES TRAGEDY.

The burden of public opinion seems
TO be in favor of the acquittal of Jane,
Mutt. His trial will take place at
Uniontown in September, and able
counsel have been employed to defend
him. What the result will be is hard
to conjecture. The killing of Dukes
has all the elements of murder in the
first degree. There was generalization,
and no immediate provocation, and
the verdict must be either in the first
degree, or acquttal In remaining in
the community where he had brought
dissolution upon the Mutt family, Dukes
openly invited violence at the hands of
young Mutt, and it is said that his con.
duct, when he met the son of the man
he murdered was of very irritating
character. Dukes had no right to take
the life of Capt. Mutt James Mutt
had no right to take the life of Dukes.
Each in the eye of the law is guilty of
murder, and yet n Fayette county jury
acquitted Dukes. The law may hang
young Mutt, but under the peculiar cir.
cumstances of the case public opiuion
will acuuit him.
