developing a vigorous kind of integrity.
He never more fully illustrated this than
when he required the Indians TO formally
try offenders of their own tribes and punish
them. after calm and deliberate inquiry by
lust methods into their guilt. 1t was a
whollynew thing to the Red Man TO be thus
trusted to mete out justice, and TO be in
structed how to develop truth and discover
falsehood was a revelation that brought
with it personal pride, of character not
before felt. The General declares that this
method has had simply marvellous results.
The despised and hated savage of the hot
plains has proved to civilization his quick
capacity to judge justly, punish with GER
tainty and to apply to human conduct the
ordinary and accepted tests conventional in
civilized life
To those who have been accustomed to
consider the dead Indian the only good
Indian, and to look upon the American
aboriginal as the embodiment of all treach-
cry, these statements will seem incredible.
They VIII appear less so when 1t Is made
clear to such that the Indian of this century
is what the the intrigue, knayery, deceit
and cruel encroachment upon human
rights by the white man, have made him.
General Crooks whole system may be
summed up in his own words: In
dealing with the Apache, gentleness, pa
tience, truth and honesty are essentials"
He concludes by saying: There is not in
the State of Pennsylvania a village, of the
same population, more peaceable and law
abiding than the 5000 Apaches on the San
Carlos Reservation" SO then, this man
of war has accomplished what priest
and statesman, Quaker ana philan-
thropist, Congress, politicians and theorists
have failed to bring about, and is justly en-
titled to distinction as Il new missionary.

TWELVE BLUNDERS.

The Cleveland Hnaid says the Demo-
cratic campaign has thus far been one of
blunders. We pause to reflect on this
charge and find it true. Let us rccapitulate
and see if the allegation is fully warranted
Blunder one the nomination of Cleveland
and the ignoring Of the really great men of
the party. B!under two the snubbing of
General Benjamin F. Butler. Blunder
three the failure to instantly throttle and
choke the life out of the Cleveland scandal
instead of trying to explain it and apologize
for it. Blundcr four the failure to examine
the political record of Cleveland in his re-
lation to the workingmen. Blunder five :;
the placing in power on the National Com
mittce of the men who were priyy to the
Mercy letter fraud of 1SS0-this is what
Henry Watterson terms political hara-kiri

Indiana on the ticket, though this really is
part of biundcr one. Hendricks has the

them, to strengthen the Catholic sentiment
against the common school system. The
Church has all along been open and frank
in its opposition to the sytem, and in its
declarations of belief that our schools are
ungodly, and that the education of the
young is properly the office of the Church.
But now, since Professor Senger responded
to questions of his pupils with statements
he believed to be historic facts the Church
has gone beyond him. and asSails the text

its relations in the past TO civil govern

which there can be no agreement, and it
looks, therefore, very much as if the Origi-

study of history from the schools. But
any success in that direction is not think
able If we are to exclude studies for fear
of trcading On ancient religious corns we
may as well shut up the schools at once,
since neither philosophy, astronomy, the
ordinary laws relating to the form and the
movements of the earth and the planets,
the history of literature or the history Of
the great events that broke through super
stition and made way for tolerance and free
government, can be taught without re-

should churchmen of this day, as we view
it, be offended thereat, but rather confess
the truth and take pride in the pace reIig-

New YORK. September 12th.-A Times
Pittsburg special says: The industrial out

river miners are on strike, and the rail

wages are raised. Nearly all the glass
workers are idle, or only employed part of
the time. The iron trade is stagnant, and
some of the largest works propose shut
ting down in week or two unless fresh
orders come in. Among them are the Ed
gar Thompson Steel Works at Braddock.
This will add several thousands to the
army of idlers. There are about 5000
empty houses in this city, formerly occu-
pied by laborers who have removed else
where in search Of employment. The num-
Der of applications for assistance for the
poor is greater than at any time since the
panic of 1873, and they are steadily increas-
ing. The banks and merchants are doing
very light business. Pittsburg has seldom

giving the following reasons why Robert

IngersolfS agnoSticism made him a
political outcast Ingersoll was not salts
fed with Blaines help then. He was not
really offended but when it came to the
Garfield administration, controlled by his
two personal friends, Garfield and Blaine,
the same policy of non-recogntion was
pursued. Then IngersolI who is very
sensitive withdrew for ever from politics
and sWOre he would never take any part
for any person or party. \ friend of both
Blaine and lngersoll, and warm sympa-
thiZer in the latter'S religious views and
who approved his course in keeping out of
politics, says Under what obligation is
Blaine to do anything for Iagersoll? The
count is more than even between them.
The name of Blaine gave Ingersoll the
opportunity to lift himself from obscurity
into national notice That notice has given
him the great success of the day as a lee
turer. If Ingersoll had not continued his
war upon the church after the nation had
discovered him at Cincinnati he might
have become a prominent favorite in
politics, but he preferred to follow up the
part that had given him local fame in
Illinois. If he is sincere he should be salts
fed. Blaine fully appreciates Bob Inger-
