Louise Michel Sentenced to Six Years in
Prison.
PARIS June 23.-Henri Rochefort, in his
evidence at the trial of Louise Michel yester-
day, endeavored to show the falsity of the
charge of pillage against the prisoner, and
said that when she was exiled she reduced
herself to poverty to aid her fellow-sufferers.
The prisoner spoke in her own defense. She
violently attacked the government, and de-
clared the issue of pamphlets to the soldiers,
inciting them to burn the barracks and muir
der the officers, was justified. She declared
that the soldiers at Sedan would have done
well to shoot their officers and save their
honor The jury found her guilty, and she
was sentenced to six years inprisonmen and
ten years police supervision.

NEW 1OEh 1IlcS, Ilop.J
The political solidarity of the South
ern states is to be deplored, but it is
not to be wondered at. Very little
has been done there to give strength
to the Republican party, or
to the confidence of the people who in
the past have had reasons sufficient
in their own minds for opposing it as
national organization. 1t has been
to a very large extent under the con-
troll of self-seeking politicians, who
have had an interest in keeping it
small and manageable. They have not
desired to build it up, for the reason
that if any considerable force of the
able and honest men of the South
should become enlisted in its ranks,
they should lose the power which
they have exercised with so much ad-
vantage to themselves. They have
by their own liberal spirit fostered
the strong antipathieS that exist be-
tween parties in that section and
then attemp' ed to make CAPT.
tai by complaining about the effects.
They wish to keep the control in their
own hands and to monopolize the
federal patronage in their states.
These men have been distinctly en-
couraged under the present admins
tration. The offices have been given
to them, and the public employments
of every grade have been placed at
their disposal. These they may make
use of to maintain their control of the
party, and, in turn, they assume to be
able, and probably will be able, to
choose delegates to the national con-
vention whose votes will be practi-
cally solid for the administration can
didate, whoever he may be. This
kind of Republican solidity in the
South for purposes Of nomination is
calculated to perpetuate the Demo-
cratic solidity for purposes of election,
and it is an enormous disadvantage to
the Republican party OF the nation
The strength Of the party is in the
North, but the Northern states are
politically divided, and some of them
are very uncertain. The vitality Of
the Democratic party, such as
it is in quality, extends through
out the country. The vitality
of the Republican party, vigorous in
the Northern states, is Well-nigh para
lized in the South. Under such con-
ditions, the party is in danger of en-
tering the national contest at seri-
Gus disadvantage. 1t is time that the
policy of keeping the party small and
weak in nearly half the states states
which cast more than one-third of the
electoral votes-was abandoned. The
nomination of president by the Re-
publican party is no longer equivalent
to an election. A nomination secured
by working these states as rotten Dor
oughs for purposes of representation
in national convention will be in inn
minent danger of being followed by
an electoral defeat. If it is true that
President Arthur is working by means
of Federal appointments in the South
to secure its 306 delegates in the con-
vention, and there by denomination.
he is working against the best inter
ests of the party and probably for its
disastrous overtime v at the next
presidential election"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-08-23
INDIAN POLICIES.

1t is said the president and his
party have no political objects in view
in visiting the Yellowstone region.
This may be true, since the party is a
mixture of public men of different
political faiths. 1t is stcttod that the
visit relates 80 the Indian policy, it
being anticipated that the wards of
the country will be transferred at no
distant day from the Interior depart
ment to the army. The plan anticipated
is to do away with the reservations, the
government once more taking possess
sion of the lands, excepting home
steads for the Indians, and issuing
therefor bonds, the interest upon these
to be distributed annually among the
tribes to enable them to prepare for
the new relations to be imposed upon
them. Gen. Sheridan may be believed
when he asserts that the Indian
troubles of the past few years have
arisen almost wholly from the ven
atty of Indian agents, who have
robbed and insulted the red men in
every possible way. by the proposed
plan the Indians would become citi-
zens, and would be held responsible to
the civil and military laws alike.
Nothing of the amount due them
would be absorbed in its passage from
hand to hand, which certainly would
be an improvement upon the present
style of wholesale robbery atten-
s@k L
the Indian agents. As to the ex-
pense of the proposed change the fol-
lowing may be of interest: The num-
their reservations cover 100000 square
miles of the public domian. Suppose
the government pays for this land 80
cents per acre, an investment of 1884,
100000 will be required. At 4 per cent
interest the sum of $2,5OO,OOO annually
will accrue. If congress enact the
necessary laws to bring about this
change great saving will be made to
the government, as the government
expends nearly six millions of dollars
for Indian maintenance, while the
border is continually harrassed by the
employed red r3scals. When the facts
are established that it is more econom-
ical, humane, civilizing and efficient a
policy than has heretofore prevailed,
there seems to be no argument against
it. That the treatment of the Indian
question hitherto has been an inglo-
rious failure. every one must admit.
1t is question in which there are no
politics, and all may combine for its
furtherance. This is the simplest In
dian policy yet suggested, though
by Lo means new, and, besides
its economy, it has the merit of final
settlement of the Indian question.

PENDLEToNs miserable farce of a
civil service reformation is becoming
more and more absurd. The Republi-
cans accepted the plan and helped him
put it through Con 5ress, because they
saw their lease of power was becoming
short, while they wanted to prepare for
those now in the service to stay there,
and to hide, as long as possible, the
tracks of fraud spread over the records
of the last twenty years. The civil
service commissioners, DESTROYS of get
ting over all the ground before then,
and filling up the places with those
that might be trusted, divided their la
bors and attempted to cover it all at
once. AS examiners the country has
about come to the conclusion that they
do not honestly know what to do with
themselves. They ought by this time
to have become Disguised with them
selves. and to have concluded to tell
Congress the measure is bare sham
and a fraud, and that they are su-
preme failures as agents for civil ser
vice reform. The shortest way out
of the discreditable institution is for
Congress to repeal the law. The ex-
penses of the commission is money
absolutely thrown away.

GEN. CROOK who understands the
Indian question as well Us any man
in the country, has devoted him
self to solution of the Apache
troubles, and has come to the firm con-
viction that their blood-thirsty treat
ment of the whites arises in exactions
and fraud practiced upon them, which
have intiamed them to war. After
arresting the ApacheS he abandoned
all idea of visiting vengeance upon
them for their past misdeeds, upon
the ground that the whole course and
training of their lives have been di-
rectly in the line of their actions, and
that they should not be adjudged
guilty under law which they neither
care for nor comprehend. His idea is
to deal with them firmly but not cru
ely, and educate them to a wholesome
fear OF the government. The war de-
partment, he declares, should have
charge of the Indians, and should ex-
ercise control that would beget re-
spect. This plan has been discussed
for many years, but the thieving ring
that profit upon Indian contracts has
always used the strongest influences
to defeat the transfer. 1t is hoped
the next house of representatives will
take up this question and do what is
necessary. Should the house agree to
the change the senate will hardly re-
fuse to agree. Politics cut no figure
in relation thereto.

GOSSIP ABOUT MIR. MCDONALD.
Effect on His Possible Presidential
Candidacy.

A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun, August 8, says that it has
been confidently claimed by the friends
of ex-senator Mcdonald, Of Indiana,
that he was one of the very few presi-
Dental candidates for 1884 against
the purity of whose private and pub
raised. So far as Mr.. Mcdonald has
attracted public attention the senti-
ment has rather been in accord with
this claim. But to-day publication is
made here of allegations affecting the
domestic life of Mr.. Mcdonald, which
are absolutely startling. They are in
all probability unsustained by facts,
but it is evident that should he receive
the Democratic nomination, these and
kindred charges would be made and
industriously circulated, and would
influence the votes of many thousand
citizens to his detriment. If it was
possible for one of the saints to
fall from heaven and he taken
up as presidential candidate,
he would doubtless be aSSailed with
all manner of charges and reflections.
This may be some consolation to Mr..
Mcdonald, if he is innocent of what
is charged against him, but it does
not enhance his availability as a pre-
sidential candidate. After the ex-
perience which the Democrats had in
1880 in taking up another citizen of
Indiana on the ground of availability,
they are apt to be little more
scrutinizing in the future and not
take things for granted. Irrespective
of the charges which are now brought
to light, it is asserted by prominent
Indiana Democrats that the public at
large has been very much deceived by
the assumptions of Mr.. McDonald's
wonderful popularity at home, and if
he should be taken up by the Demo
cratic party it would very likely be a
repetition of the English experience.

SIR HENRY THOMPSON, the London
surgeon, recognizes in fish combina-
ton of all the elements of food that
the human body requires IN almost
every phase of life, more especially
by those who follow sedentary en-
ployment. 10 women he considers
fish to be an inyafuabte article of diet,
but he scouts as complete fallacy the
notion that iish-eating increases the
brain power. 1.-The only action fish
has on the brain is to put mans
body into proper relations with the
work he has to do" The world awaits
with anxiety to hear what the carp
department of Texas has to say upon
the subject.

NEW YORK seems to be plethoric
with gold. A few days ago the Herald
appeared to be alarmed over the vast
accum ulation of money in the savings
banks of that state. The total depos-
its in all the savings banks amounted
to $400, 100000, and six of these banks
in New York and Brooklyn held up
ward of $2OOOOO,OOO of the deposits.
The Herald fears that INSCRIPTIONS
persons will obtain control of the
savings banks for the purpose of using
their vast aggregation of capital
in speculations on Wall street. But
why call attention to it? What
can the Herald, the authorities. or the
people do about it? None but the
depositors have any voice in the mat
ter. Would the Herald have them
make run on the savings banks to
keep their money out of Wall street {?
To prevent capitalists from control
ling these banks, the law of the state
prohibited the depositing by the same
individual of more than $4,000 in any
one of the savings banks, and if this
does not save their money what is the
use of the banks?
