AS STATED in the GAzETTE'S Washington
correspondence Of yesterdays date an Iu-
dian agent acknowledged that he, and not
the tribe of which be should, by appoint
ment Of the Government, have been the pro-
tector had leased the lands Of that tribe to
land monopolists, and, strangest thing of
all, that the Government had been informed
of what he was going to do before he had
done it. Aud yet when there is au occa-
sional Indian outbreak some people wonder.
From the timo the white man first put his
foot on this continent down to the present,
whether Spanard or Englishlnan, his course
toward the original possessors Of the soil
has been invariably one ofcruelty and plum
der, nor is there any experience Of the past
or Indication of the future that warrants
doubt that it will continue to be so until the
last pure breed Indian shall have joined his
in their happy hunting grounds.
The individual white man may be kind, but
as race he.is the cruelest of created beings.

Eloped with a Music Teacher.

An individual signing himself Professor y
Raddi, Conservatory of Music, New York,
registered at a hotel in Wilkesbarre, Pa,
about five weeks ago. He appeared to be
man of education, dressed well and had
plenty of money. He made friends fast and
seemed to be great tavorite with the gentler
sex. He attended the skating rink every
evening and while there made the acquaint-
ance of Mrs. Robert Albertson, the wife of a
well known carriage manufacturer doing
business on South Main street. Raddi and
Mrs. Alberts0n were seen quite often skating
together, and this fact coming to the ears OF
the husband he asked his wife not to frequent
the rink. She continued to go, however.
One night last week the husband followed
his wife and found her at the rink in Raddi's
company. He requested her to go home with
him, but she refused. That night there was
a quarrel between man and wife. On Thurs
day morning Raddi left for New York. On
Friday, while Mr.. Albertson was at his place
of business, Mrs. Albertson packed her trunk
and at night left on one of the trains going

Wnat came OF u wear HetresS tef
Treaeherous Guardian.
The head OF one of the oldest and most re-
spectacle families in Maine, died in Calais,
several years ago, leaving property i'm real
estate and business Investments valued at
S492, 900 to his daughter, aged IL years. She
was the last and youngest of family OF seven
children, and her father was ''the last man of
his race" as he used to say. He died while
she was attending school I'm Boston. Her
guardian, Louis Roche, was Frenchman Of
somewhat doubtful character, though her
father had the utmost confidence i'm him.
Roche, in fact, had managed the old mans
business for him several years before his
death. The will gave $4,000 to the French
man and the rest OF the property to the
daughter. Roche induced the young woman
to marry him before she was Is years old.
Two years aiterward the property was sold
~ Roche went to Europe They settled in
Lyons near his ancestral home, and soon
after.their arrival daughter was born to
them. Six other children were afterwards
born, four sons and two daughters. Four
years ago the last Of The children died, and
Roche firing of his wife, induced her
to convey all her property to him,
and then cut her throat and threw
her into the Seine. She was rescued
by a peasant and her wounds were dressed,
but she had lost her memory had even for
gotten her name. The peasant fell in love
with her and they were married. Last sum-
mer she had cholera and came near dying
With returning health she regained her
memory. The peasant interested wealthy
people in her case, and an action was begun
in the courts against Roche. Her husbands s
brutal treatment will cost him his liberty for
several years. A decree of divorce viii be
granted her on her return to France and
she will then legalize her marriage with the
peasant, who is said to be an estimable and
intelligent man. Several people from New
England will accompany Mrs. Roche on her
return to France

Alasi 1t Is just as some good men

diets that 1.-THE administration will drift"
II has tried resolutely to reach some other
conclusion, to see 1t some other way, but
the sad truth is forced upon II and it feels
bound to take its readers into its confidence
and to tell them what IL now is well as

Of the president himself He is not ad-

fer of this policy to the federal capital.
"It simply indicated purpose to meet the
everyday routine in steady, common
place, everyday sort Of way. The refer
ence to foreign policy foreshadowed tame,
passive, conservative course which will
assure peace and tranquility, but which
will not seek to extend American interests
or to anticipate American destiny" The
cabinet appointments are in tone with the
other foreshadowings of the new admins

will drift"
How different 1t would have been, OF
course, had Blaine been elected. The

SOME of the stockholders Of Schenectady,
New York, bank determined to find out
whether the law would insist that bank
directors ought to direct and the result must
be to them very gratifying. The bank had
failed ON certain Monday and ON the pre-
ceding. Saturday checks had been deposited
tor $500 The point on which the suit
rested was whether the directors, being
aware OF deficiency on Saturday, knew
whether it would be made good. As it was
possible for them to know had they investi-
gated, they were bound to make such inves-
tigation before they could receive deposits.
The verdict was therefore against the directors.
And it IL good law and good sense.

THERE is nothing more Interesting TO
study than the census figures as they relate
to the population of the United States, and
Investigations into some of their peculiar
features lead to rich fields of speculation.
Since the census was first taken i'm 1890 it has
been noted that .a locennial increase was
about s3IyS per Ger, y this rate there should
have been in 1870 population of 42,3ss, ,432,
and for 1880, 56,45O,2il; whereas the first
named year showed 3s,5OO,37l and second
so, l55,7S3 residents of the country. The dis
crepancy in these years is explained by the
ravages of this civil war. Gen. Walker,
who was chief of the census bureau,
attributes part Of these losses to the un-
equal distribution of women at the Z ast and
of men ia the Far West to the growth of
celibacy, TO the procrastination of marriage
and especially TO the prudence which dimin-
ishes the procreatiye force or desire. This
he says, is mostly confined to the native born,
for out Of every 1000 women who bear four
children or less, 400 are natives and $40 for
eigners. Out OF 900 who bear five children
or more, ga are natives and 726 foreigners
These figures still more conclusively prove
the accepted fact that the native American
stock would be powerless to keep the greas
national ball -relling, ii It were not for the
-vasf influx Of foreigners that it annually re-
ceivea Very fortunately American institu-
tons are such as to most easily absorb
adopted citizens into the social fabric, and in
the same act they nearly always take from
them the noxious sediment Of foreign adher-
ence that would hinder their usefulness as
American citizens.

sDURING THE Presidential campaign
Governor Cleveland was yiciously abused
for having vetoed the freedom of wor-
ship bill, his veto being placed on the
ground of the unconstitution-
atty of the measure The
Republicans wanted to gain the votes of
the Irish Catholics. hence they sup
ported the bill and when Cleve-
land killed it tried to make it
appear that the Governor was the enemy
to the Catholic religion, and as conse-
quence, to the Irish The New York
Legislature is overwhelmingly Republi-
can, which party can pass any measure
it wants to. Last week the same "free-
dom of worship" bill came up for ac-
ton, when not single Republican voted
for it, and all but two of the votes
against it were cast by members OF that
party. Many an Irish Catholic last
November, was duped into voting
against his party candidate, but the Re-
publican trick having been exposed, tits
hoped Democrats will not again be de-
ceived.

THE New York Herald tells how, at
Valencia, Spain. the other day, "a
doctor, who had just finished lecture
to room-full of Spanish physicians
and officials, proceeded to inoculate
eighteen of his brother leeches and
several others, including New York
Herald correspondent, with the cholera
bacilh. The Herald man says it gave
him some unpleasant cholera symp-
toms. If the incubation is to hold good
for longer period than three months.
it must be reported within week."
The effectiveness of vaccination as a
preventive of smallpox, has passed
beyond the point of intelligent dispute,
the only argument that the anti-vacci-
nationist can bring being that there is
danger of inoculating other dis
eases. Now if inoculating with cholera
microbes can be successfully performed
and it will prevent that most terrible of
diseases, cholera, the value of the dis
'oVery can scarcely be estimated.
