Teller on Crooks Captives.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Secretary
Teller was asked tonight whether
he had reached any conclusion with
regard to the disposition OF Crooks
captives. He said he was willing to
take the children and unmarried
women, put the former to school and
the latter upon the reservation but
as to the others they should not go
upon the reservation. His reasons
were
First-That the Indians now OF
the reservation, Indian agents and
white settlers Of the surrounding
country did not want them.
Second-Putting them upon the
reservation would practically turn
them loose, because they would only
remain until next spring when they
would go on the var path again.
Third-His appropriation for the
support of Indians would not allow
his keeping the 400 or 500 Crook cap
tives.
Secretary Teller said also he did
not think there would he any disa-
greement between himself and the
Secretary of. War as to the DISPOSE
ton of these Indians; that when
Crook understood the circumstances
he would not ask to have them
placed ON the reservation. The Sec
rotary said further. that while his
appropriation would not permit his
undertaking to care for the captive
hostiles, many of whom he said are
not American, but Mexican Indians,
the war department had $4,000 at its
disposal for the support Of Indian
prisoners. He thought the wal de-
partment should take these Indians
and corral them for a while until
they became somewhat tame.

An exchange observes that Attor-
ney General Brewster says he did
his best to convict the star route
rascals. This is probably true.
What defeated him was the general
debauchery of public morals at
Washington by twenty years of the
most corrupt rule that ever cursed a
civilized country, in which the chosen
saints of the ruling power have
achieved an unfaded notoriety. The
accepted doctrine is that it is right to
steal, bride and perjure in order to
obtain and hold power and to enrich
individuals; the crime consists in
being caught at it. This is what has
been the main matter with Attorney
General Brewster and fully accounts
for the failure to convict Brady and
Dorsey.

GENERAL SHERMAN ON THE
STAR REUTERS.

In a recent interview with a New
York Tribune reporter General Sher-
man is made to say: dorsey was q
splendid Senator and General Brady
is a hard working, active man. Both
of them seemed to me to be bonOra-
BILE men. What they did in the mat
ter of mail routes for which they
have been tried was in the line of
promoting the population and devel-
opment eff the West" No one
doubts the sincerity and honesty of
General Sherman. His mistake is
one of the head, not of the heart. As
the New York World says, nobody
doubts the statement that Dorsey
was a good Senator, as Senators 90,
and that Brady is q hard working,
active man. To have accumulated a
fortune in q very short time as As
sistant Postmaster General, he must
have been not only industrious but
extremely active. But that Dorsey
and Brady are honest men will be
seriously questioned, despite their
recent ~vindication. General Sher-
man excuses their Star route rascali-
ties because they were promoting
population and developing the West.
Some of the finest scoundrels in the
world have promoted population and
developed things. When Tweed
was caught stealing in New York
his apologists claimed that he not
only beautiied the city, but that he
gave employment to thousands of
poor people and was therefore a pub
lie benefactor. When Shepherd and
his ring were plundering Washing
ton City and lining their pockets, the
Reuse was made for them that they
were improving the city. They
were spoken of as philanthropists.
All the corruptions and rascalities of
the knavish government of Napoleon
III. were excused upon the ground
that the Empire made Paris beautl-
full and gave the tradesmen and
.shopkeepers business. Captain Kidd
wss a %benefactor in his way. He
was q pirate and a thief, but he kept
with him on board his ship a lot of
cut-throats and thieves who might
have been in even worse business if
they had remained on land.

1t cannot be said that England j

1t cannot be said that England is
ungrateful to her sons who serve her.
She recognizes merit and rewards it
in a substantial manner. The grants
which she has recently made in favor
of Admiral Seymour and Sir Garnet
Wolselsy for their services in the
Egyptian war are by no means iso-
lated ones. The names of those who
have distinguished themselves in art,
literature, craftsmanship and wal
are recorded on the brightest pages of
her history and attest her gratitude.
In the cases of Seymour and Wolse-
ley there were not want
ing men who stood ready to belittle
their services, but as their opposition
to the bestowal of the grants was
prompted more by a desire to hit
Gladstone than to ignore the claims
Of the eminent commanders of their
navy and army it properly met an
ignominious failure. There are Re-
publics that may learn a profitable
lesson from England in the treat
ment of those who add to their fame.

Cincinnati INQUIRER: 1.-THE pro-
longed silence Of Mr.. Siberian is
really alarming. 1t is particularly
alarming since the whereabouts of
Mr.. Sherman is unknown. Onr own
opinion is that the senator has de
parted for a lodge in some vast wilder
ness, some boundless contiguity of
shade; but we have no positive infor
nation" Senator Sherman is safe.
At the present writing he is in one
of the fairest country's on "Gad's
green earth" enjoying the invigorat-
ing, healthful zephyrs of the grand
old Rockies, and surrounded by a
scenery equalled by none in granduer
and sublimity. 1t is needless to add
the Senator is in Montana-Demo-

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Senator Beck is known to have
made a close study of the signs of the
times and is regarded as . Tar seeing
politician. Therefore what he says
concerning possible Presidential can
didates commands more than 0rdina-
~ attention. He expresses the con-
viction that MI. Mcdonald of In
diana, is the strongest man in the
West and that there is only N Re
publican whom he would fear to see
pitted against him and adds: eff he
were nominated his simple name
would make several of the Southern
State doubtful" Of.course there is
considerable anxiety to know the
name OF this tower of strength. 1t is
known the Senator has been gather
ing Information through the South
for campaign purposes, and that his
opinion is the result of q deliberate
consideration of the condition of az
fairs and that he is honest in its K
preston, hence, the field of candi-
dates has been carefully looked over
in order to recognize the possible win
ner. Although it is said MI. Beck
regards Senator Allison as the most
formidable Republican candidate that
gentleman is not looked upon as a
dangerous clark horse" and the in
quisitive ones are still prospecting to
find him.
But az Mr.. Watterson says, "NO
mans opinion is worth anything.
You might as we'll guess a horse race,
the verdict of a petit jury, or the Ca
price of a woman as to guess
the candidate of either party.
Ambitious men who ale seeking to
be candidates for the Presidency
seem to take the advice of the New
York Sun and are careful not to OBJ
trude their names upon public notice
before the proper time. A little bit
of history Is before them. As that
journal 81 VS.: "Of the candidates who
have run for the Presidency since
the famous contest between Van
Buren, and Harrison only four or five
were prominently before the conven-
tons at the outset. Nearly all those
who bore off the prize were suddenly
sprung upon the delegates after the
leading sspirants had destroyed each
other. The newcomers were then
carried through in vast applause"
This fact is not lost upon the aspi-
rants and while this man and that
man is mentioned for the high office
they all seem to think that the most
likely method for capturing the con-
vention next year is to keep out of
them till called for. Hence it is safe
to assume that notwithstanding what
Mr.. Beck, or any one else may say,
the names of the candidates for "a
will be known when the conventions
nominate them and not before. In
the meantime, guessing their names
will be INDUCED in as is other harm
less and innocent amusements.

A WORD FROM AMSTERDAM.

A private letter from Mr.. w. A.
Clark from Amsterdam received here
seys: The Exposition is a grand
affair although the attendance is not
yet large and many of the exhibits
are not yet in place. The affair has
not been sufficiently ventilated by
the press. The English and French
papers very seldom allude to it. The
Colonial exhibits are particularly
fine. From the United States there
is nothing of a general, national or
State character except that from
Utah, Montana and Idaho; but many
manufacturers have obtained space
and thereby American manufactures
are quite we'll represented.
Our commissioner, Mr. A. Zeehan-
delaar, has secured the most desira-
ble position on all the ground and
has arranged his minerals in the
most tasteful and intelligent manner
and they attract a great deal of at
tention and elicit much inquiry.
MI. Clark says he was much inter-
ested in hearing Mr. z. answering
questions propounded to him, one
minute in English the next in
French or German or Dutch. MI.
z. speaks all three languages fluently
and draws large crowds around him
when he enters upon a description of
his minerals and the processes of their
reduction. The Bell specimens ex-
cite q great deal of admiration. The
Territories which Mr.. Il. represents
were fortunate In their choice, and
much benefit may grow out of it to
them. MI. Clark fears Nj. rs funds
will not last until the end as it is
very expensive in Amsterdam. If
necessary more money should he
raised a. the latter end of the Expo
sition will undoubtedly be the better
attended.
