The Yegetarians are plucky aud persistent peo-
pie, though they do not to make many con-
yerts, nor do they appear to have the most con-
elusive arguments upon their side 1t may be true
that most people coulG support life upon vegetable
diet experience shows that this can DO done. But
il Is not less true that the which have done
the most in the world. which have dominated 1t, and
which have carried civilization furthest, have been
meat-eaters. The vegetarian races have for the
most part been weak and subject peoples. 1t Is OF
course possible that their weakness has been due to
other causes, but the Anglo-SaxOn does not gener-
ally find it easy to maintain his stamina upon a
purely vegetable Diet and Mr.. Herbert Spencer,
who tried it for six months says that his mind and
body both suffered from the experiment. 1t would
that where much and hard work has to be done.
meat is necessary to maintain the strength. This
has been the experience of all heavy contractors,
like Sir Thomas Brassey found that the superior
capacity of the English "navvy" was due to his
generous diet. and that the vegctableeat ny Con-
tinenta laborers could by training on the same food
be brought MP to almost the physical efficiency.
Against such facts the yegetarans have not yet
produced satisfactory counterevidence.
There appears TO be something anomalous in the
Russian criticisms of Polish persecution Of the Jews
Now that this persecution is occurring in Poland,
the Russian journals discover that 1t Is disgraceul
aud that it ought TO be stopped, but while the same
kind Of work was gong on In Russa there was q
disposition rather to ignore than to censure it, There
has never been much doubt outside of Russia as to
the power of that Government to put stop to the
persecution of the Jews, but unfortunately the be-
havior of the authorities, and especially of the
troops stationed at places where antSeritic riots
occurred, produced belief that the outrages were
viewed with no little indulgence by those whose
duty 1t was to suppress them In Poland also the
same thing has been observed. Gross Outrages
have occurred at Warsaw for instance, yet though
an ample military force was at hand, and there
could have been question to the ability of the
troops to stop the rotng. they were kept in their
barracks and the Jews were left to the mercy of the
mob, and suffered horribly. The obvious truth is
that these prosecutions never could have occurred
had the Russian Government been willing to pro-
the Jews and preserve order in its territories

themselves. As the cattle of the settlers offe
the only available resource, in Selling them they
will probably provoke hostiItics The situation
in fact. is as bad as it could possibly be. These
Indians are first made paupers of; then they
| are deprived of the means of subsistence; and
finally they are left to starye, with the alterna-
| tive of subjecting themselves to be shot down
for raiding upon the cattle of the settlers.
Certainly this is a remarkable method of
! civilzing the Indians, but it is of piece with
what has gone before, and the case may be
made use of to emphasize the necessity Of a new
departure in Indian policy. The plan of brib-
ing Indians to refrain from stealing and throat
cutting by subsistIng them on Government ra-
tons is, as experience has proved, wholly
futile 1t results in demOraizing the Indians.
Taught to rely upon the Government for
food, they cease to trouble themselves about
working for their living In the cases where
they are supposed to depend partially upon the
chase for their subsistence, they are still worse
of, for on most reservations hunting is be-
coming more prccarious every year, and the
more nomadic the tribe are the harder is it for
them TO support themselves.
They would, however, if thrown altogether
upon their own resources, and protected III the
possession of land sufficient for food production,
have solved the problem for themselves before
this 1t is the dependence, or semi-dependcnce,
upon Government that Is paralyzing them;
that and the policy of isolation which shuts
them out from all the possible benefits to be
had from actual contact with white civilization.
If the Indian is to have any chance of survival
in the future, the present policy will assIiredlS
have to be changed altogether, and in the di
rection here suggested. The Indian must be
permitted to recover his Independence, and to
this end he must be compelled to come in with
the rest Of the American people, and submit
to the same laws, and make use of the same OPP
portunities. If he is capable of assimilation, he
will soon find place for himself. If he is in
capable of assimilation, nothing can save him
from the fate of all really inferior races,
namely extinction. But it is clear that we
can do nothing with him on the old lines He
only dcgcncratcs, becomes helpless, and then
when Government support is withdrawn he col
lapses, as these Picgans are now doing.
OF course, since the Government has brought
them 10 tins critical condition, it is morally
bound to relieve them, but equally of course
the system of e ,vcrnmcnt maintenance cannot
be continue ofnitely. and the one rational
substitute for il is the independence of Amcri-
can citizens ip. This is the one line yet left
untred, and il is the only one which appears to
hold on. any rational prospect OF success.

THE FORTJFIC4TIONS BILLS.

The House Committee on Appropriations has
reported a majority and a minority FOrtilca-
tons bill. The minority report proposes an APP
preparation which would be inadequate to effect
anything, which would give the country neither
secure coast defences nor efficient guns to arm
them. The minority affect TO be influenced
solely by motives of economy, but ii Is evident
that their bill would leave everything
nearly where it is at present. The major
ity bill is more liberal, and aims at the per-
Torrance of some practical work, but 1t Is
questionable whether il begins at the right 0nd
1t contemplates a considerable appropriation 10
fortify the six principal harbors in the country,
but it makes a very small and inadequate pro-
vision for the forging of heavy guns. 1t gives
100000 for making new guns, and 100000
for the conversion of old guns. Now, unless the
appropriation for Notifications can be made to
cover the cost Of heavy guns, there is danger
that the expenditure proposed will be to as little
purpose rs the appropriations which have gone
before. For it is certain that in the event OF war
with any foreign Power we shall need guns much
more than Notifications. We may have forts
which a foreign navy cannot easily batter down,
but if they are armed with guns of inferior
calibre, the enemy will be able to pass them, and
to capture or destroy the cities they are intended
TO protect.
The plain fact is that we ought to begin by
procuring heavy gum, and having got them, we
codld fortily at our leisure. With sufficient
number of such guns we could preventan eucnly's
coming near enough our forts to do them serious
harm but without the ordnance all our forts
will only serve for show in time of peace Az
the making OF great guns is work Of timc-two
years being required for their completion, at
the lcast-it is The more necessary that this
part of the business should be begun MS early ~
possible. OF course 100000 is Of no use for
such purpose. Ii will not buy more than one
or two heavy guns, while We need scores OF
them. 1t is astonishing that Congress should
manifest so much timidity over n question OF
this importance. while it is equally rash in pro-
posing the expenditure of hundreds of millions
for measures which are not demanded by the
people and are Of more than doubtful utility.
Before any Fortifcations bill is passed ii ought
to be so amended that the vital requirement,
which is the ability.to strike hard at the critical
moment, be provided for. Otherwise the appro-
priations made in the bill will be liable to
mislead the country into thinking it is strong
when its weakness is only masked

SOVEREIGNTY UNDER ONES OWN NAT

SOTEREIG UNDER ONES OWN HAT.
81 carry my sovereignty under my own hat
said delegate in the Chicago Republican Con-
vention of 1850. Mr.. Curtis used the words to
express his own attitude il the late Convention.
He added, by way of emphasis: " A free man
entered this Convention, and free man will
90 out of it," The trouble with these decara-
tons of independence is that they arc based not
upon a truth but a half truth. 1t was true and
it was not true that the West Virginia delegate
carried his sovereignty undor his hat. Suppose
in the Convention of which he was member he
had desired ever so earnestly to speak upon
some question after the previous question had
been ordered. He would have found himself
prevented from doing so, cut of from the exer-
else of the inalienable right" of free speech :.
In other words, the sovereignty residing under
tho West Yirginian hat was a qualified SOW
creignty.
Just so it was not as free man but as "A
dualifed free man, free man with well-de-
fined limitations, that Mr.. Curtis entered the
Convention. In general sense, OF course, he
was free; but he was not free to make the
simplest motion until he was recognized by the
Chair. If at any stage of the proceedings IN

There seems to be no doubt that the disease
which made its first appearance IN France at
Toulon is Asiatic cholera. The deaths at Mar
feilles continue to increase and the disease hls
spread 10 Northern Italy. In that country it Is
likely TO develop more rapidly than in France.
A mild panic prevails in Europe on the subject,
and, unfortunately, not without reason. Too
much care cannot be exercised at ports of entry
on this side.

The Democratic Aldermen are carrying to
extremes the Know Nothing theory of govern
ment. Not long ago they passed an ordinance
to the effect that only actual residents of the
city should be employed in its Civil Service.
Now they have ordained that only "citizens
and residents of NewYork City" shall drive
q public cart. If they carry out this theory
much further they will be trying to disfran-
