In May of the present year q small portion of
the Chiricahua Apaches, on the White Mountain
reservation, in Arizona, left the reservation and
committed number of murders and depreda-
tons upon settlers in that neighborhood.
Though prompt and energetic action was taken
by the military, the renegades eluded capture
and escaped into Mexico. The formation of the
country through which they passed, their thor
ough acquaintance with the same the speed of
their escape, and the manner in which they
scattered and concealed themselves among the
mountains near the scene of their outrages, put
our soldiers at great disadvantage in their
efforts to capture them, though the expectation
is still entertained that they will be ultimately
taken and punished for their crimes. The
threatening and disorderly conduct of the
Cheyennes of the Indian Territory, early last
summer, caused considerable alarm and uneasi-
ness. Investigation. proved that their threaten
ing attitude was due, in great measure to the
occupation of the land of their reservation by
immense herds of cattle. which their
owners claimed were rightfully there I'M
der certain leases made by tie Indians.
Such occupation appearing upon examination,
to be unlawful, notwithstanding these leases,
the intruders were ordered to remove, with their
cattle, from the lands of the Indians by execu-
tive proclamation. The enforcement of this
proclamation had the effect of restoring peace
and order among the Indians, and they are now
quiet and well behaved.
By an executive order issued on Feb 81,
1885. by my predecessor. a portion of
known as the old Winnebago and Grow
Creek reservation. was directed to be restored
to the public domain and opened to settlement
under the land laws of the United States,
and large number of persons entered upon
these lands. This action alarmed the Sioux In
dams, who claimed the territory as belonging to
their reservation under the treaty of 1868
This claim was determined, after care
full investigation, to be well founded, and
consequently the executive order referred to
was, by proclamation of April IL, 1885, declared

NEWSPAPER TELEGRAPH SERVICE.
Rapid Growth and Enormous Extent of the
Work-Something About Its Cost.

Rapid Growth and Enormous Extent of the
Work-Something About Its Cost.
New York Tribune.
Mr.. Somerville, who has charge of the press
service of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, sitting alongside of me in a Fourth avenue
street-car the other day, gave me some instruct
I've figures as to the growth of that business, and
the changes that have resulted from growth
and from competition in the rates charged for
the service. The total amount of press tele-
grams, including the Associated Press service,
sent over their wires now reaches a thousand
million words a year. The telegraph year for
the transaction of business closes on July 30. In
1879. for the year there were transmitted of special
messages 30, O00, 900 words; in 1880, 55, 900, 900; in
1884, 1l2, 600, 600; in 1885, 100, 900. O00. The
steady growth of the special service shows the
degree in which the leading newspapers are
coming to rely on gathering their own news.
There has been a great change in the rates for
service. In 1879 the average was $l.87 per
100 words; now it is 81 cents per 100. In Eng
land, where the distances are short, the average
rate on special dispatches is half a cent a word.
The Associated Press is carried at an average of
Ia cents per 100 words for each place. In Eng
land the rate is 20 cents. with an extra charge
for certain advantages, which brings it up to 81
cents. When Mr.. Somerville took charge of this
branch of service in 1879, the rate to the Pacific
coast was 10 cents per word; now it is II cents
to San Francisco, and only 2 cents to the furthest
point on the coast. This is the highest rate any
where made. Similar changes have been made
IN the rates between other points, in some in
stances, probably. due to competition. The old
Chicago rate was 3 cents from New York: now il
is half a cent. Washington was l cent, and is
now one fourth of a cent. A great many papers
lease special wires by the year. The Western
papers take large quantities of matter nightly
from New York. The figures given relate only
to the service over Western Union wires. The
other telegraph lines Of the country carry about
one-third as much more.

High License i'm Illinois.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jou rhal:
AS / suppose you wish to let your readers see both
sides of any given question, and to have the facts in
every case, you may allow me to say that l have seen
both high license and prohibition tried in Illinois. and
/ have given this matter much thought. At Decatur,
a city of 10000 people, we had prohibition for a
while, and the arrests by the police dropped from over
fifty per month to one. Even the most bitter enemy
of prohibition had to acknowledge that
the improvement was wonderful, and pro-
hibition would have been continued if
the liquor element had not defeated it by the use of
money and by colonizing men in the temperance
wards for thirty days-taking them out of wards
where they were not needed to carry license. Having
been a resident of Quincy, q city of nearly 80, 600,
for the last four years | have had a good opportunity
to see the working of the high-icense law. While the
saloons have been reduced in number about one-third
and the revenue largely and
crime have not decreased. If the object Of high license
is merely to make fewer saloons and more revenue
fewer paupers and fewer criminals it is a magnificent
that is called for, and a hundred more could do no
better. The saloons are made more attractive, and
thus they entice more boys and young men into their
clutches, and the ruin is greater than before. If the
object of high license is to produce revenue. and to
make a few liquor dealers rich, and to hinder the prog
ress of prohibition, it is a complete success; but, if
its object is to lessen drunkenness. and pauperism and
crime, nothing could be a worse failure. The people
must decide which of these they desire. and then vote
accordingly. w. r. GOODWIN.

GRANT AND C. F. SMITH.
Comment Caused by a Recent Statement-In-
terview with Gen. Sherman.
Washington Special.

Washington Special.
There is considerable talk here among General
Grants friends over an opinion concerning him
said by Gen. j. B. Fry to have been expressed
by General Sherman since the death of Grant.
The declaration of General Fry is contained in
an article in the last number of the North
American Review, in these words: General
Sherman goes SO far as to have said. since Gen.
Grants death, that, had c.. f. Smith lived,
Grant would have disappeared to history after
Donelson.' but that is conjecture" There are
many of General Sherman's friends who cannot
believe that he has said this. and they are wait
ing with interest to see what he will say. On
the other hand, those who know how careful
General Fry is in his writings, are looking with
curiosity for further developments in the matter
of this criticism of General Grant from such an
uneXpected quarter.

Senator Voorhees, Letter.

In another part of the Democrat will be found
the letter of Senator Voorhees, to W. S. Ray,
editor of the Shelby Democrat, in which the
Senator severely castigates George and Gil
Shankfng, two prominent Evansville Demo
Gratis, and for many years conductors Of a Demo
cratic journal in that city. To say that men are
made of base metal may be meek and oratorical,
but it is the kind of expression that does not
sound well. coming from a Democratic official.
when applied TO a Democratic constituent. The
letter is in no sense complimentary to Senator
voorhees,, and had better not been written and
published. Mr.. Voorhees, will be our senator
for nearly six years to come, and he can afford
to rise above the chickering's of disappointed con-
stituents and use his great talent in producing
unity and harmony-the essentials of future
Democratic success.

The history of police superintendent and
chiefs IN indianapolis warrants the Independent
in saying that any man having steady employ
ment and a fair salary is a most incomprehensi
BILE donkey to give it up for the position of SUI
perintendent of police. The pay is small, the
responsibility immense, and by the time he has
tried hard to please everybody he will begin to
realize that he is the most unpopular man in the
city, and believe it would have been money in
his pocket if he had never been born.

Hill, Smith and Holt are all under arrest at
Indianapolis for trmpering with the ballots in
the late city election. The first two are Repub-
licans, and the third is a Democrat, and the man
who smashed a ballot box with his Ratchet. If
either of these men are guilty, we hope the
courts will smash them. If the breaking of a
ballot box is a crime there is no escape for the
latter.

not be forced on either the Wing or Republican
