THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

The present disturbance in the South
west would seem to be sufficient to admOn-
ish the government that much more eff
cient administration of our Indian affairs
could be secured by turning that branch of
the service over to the war department.
The military arm of the public service has
been kept comparatively clean. But few
scandals have been reported. The Indian
department, on the other hand, has been
little better than a series of scandals. At
best it has been but experimental, the worst
agencies being employed, and the most de-
plorable results reached as rule. This
has been owing to variety of causes too
numerous to pass in review in a single arti-
Gle. Volumes would not suffice to give in
detail the false methods applied and the de-
plOrable ends attained. So many and so
grave are the abuses that have grown up
with the system that reform within the de-
partment is utterly hopeless. The Indians,
patient and long-suffering, have been melted
To make war on the whites more by the
wrongs that have been heaped upon them
by their agents than from their own innate
impulses to murder and plumber. The mil
itary arm of the government has been pros
tituted to doing guard duty to enforce the
perpetuation of these abuses. and the time
has come when the war department should
be clothed with full authority over the res
ervations. 1t would be measure of econ
Omy. The commiSSariatS could be CONSOLE
dated, and contracts for supplies and trans
portatiOn be let in bulk. Besides, military
discipline could be enforced and the
constant menace of an Indian uprising
on the frontier be removed, thus guaran-
teeing security to settlers. This admins
tration could work great reform in this
respect, and the GLOBE hopes it will take
advantage of the present critical situation
in the Southwest to inaugurate a move
ment which will lead to some such reform
as has been suggested.

THE M1NNEroNKA DISASTER.

All hearts will be saddened this morning
by the news of the tragic ending of ten
lives on Lake Minnetonka yesterday after
noon. 1t is one of the most distressing ca
lamities that has ever befallen this sec
ton. The prominence of the parties who
went down before the fierceness of the
storm which swept over the lake yesterday,
the large circle Of relatives, friends and ac-
quaintances who mourn their loss. the Pc
culiar circumstances surrounding the occur
renee, all contribute to make it an event of
unusual sadness. Two of the leading fam
lilies of Minneapolis are swept away with
one breath of the hurricane. Death is a
fearful thing at any time and under any
circumstances. But when with one swoop
it carries away fathers, mothers, husbands,
wives and children, without so much as an
opportunity to exchange farewells or give a
parting embrace, the horrors of death are
heightened and its agonies increased. II

Of which left their homes in Mime

closed, they were resting
In the deep stiffness of that dreamless state

ENGLISH POLITICS.

The lapse of the English administration
to the Conservative party, and the shadow
ing of the latters policy gathered from the
utterances of Conservative ministers, affords
an opportunity for short review of the
English political field. 1t was evident to
the intelligent politician that the decompo-
sition of the Liberals was imminent after the
passage of the franchise bill; and the ''cOup
de grace" was a merciful forestalling of the
inevitable. The great responsibility of the
short Tory government now ensuing pre-
vious to the recess and appeal to the coun-
try in November, rests as much, or more,
with the opposition than with the Conserv-
atives themselves. From a merely party
point of view the Conservatives would no
doubt have done well to refuse Office. 1t
was much easier to belabOr defeated and
discredited administration than formulate
policy and go into harness themselves.
Hence, nearly all the Tory provincial pa
pers were protesting against their party's
acceptance of Office at the present time.
Nevertheless, it was plain that had Lord
SALISBURY and his colleagues refused, they
would have flinched from a public duty.
my hNlO 1OlONCI lOSOlQ-
tions ofincompetency against the late admin
istrators; an opportunity now occurred to de-
liver the country from such evil counsellors
andsplace the reins in the hands of their
own trusted selves; any other conclusion
would have been self-effacement. Lord
SALISBURY was the only possible premier
after Mr.. GLADSTONE; alike in character,
capacity and prestige he stand pre-eminent.
Much more serious was the difficulty of
filling his cabinet. Sir STAFFORD NORTH
COTE was incapable of leading the house
of commons, and his translation TO the
house of peers and the substitution of Sir
NJ. ii. BEACH will go far 10 strengthen
Lord SALIsBURY's hands. No factious
opposition should be offered 10 the men
who have undertaken the duty the Liberals
were unable to perform. The new minis
tiers should on ali occasions, when their acts
are the natural sequence of their predeees-
sors' policy, be supported by majority of
the house. The Conservative premiers
chief difficulty is Lord II. CHURCHILL. A
necessary part of the cabinet, he has been
nominated for the India Office; but Lord
CHURCHILL is fond of tricks, and tricks can
not be played in that Office with impunity.
He is also in direct opposition of thought to
Lord DUFFERIN, the present viceroy, whom
it is surmised may resign as a result of his
appointment 1t is noticeable fact how
governments repeat themselves. Mr..
GLADSToNE's cabinet was decimated by
the constant opposition of Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN and Sir CHARLES dixie; so in the
Tory cabinet, who can predict the peaceful
coalition of the premier and that burning
light Of modern Conservatism. Lord RAN

more clearly illustrated than in the plat
form which the Pennsylvania Republicans
have just put forth. The demand is made

goods imported in American bottoms. Now
as it is an invariable law of trade that the
intrinsic values of exports and imports
must in the long run be equal, it is hand to
see how the high tariffs that are elamored
for can do aught but reduce foreign COM
merce. Again, if discounts and rebates are
allowed on goods carried in American yes
sells, how, if they are large enough 10 en-
courage materially American shipping, can

but specimens of the reasoning power and
perspieacity of the protectioniSts in general,
and of the Pennsylvania Republican con-
vention in particular.

"a day was set, the great lady invited
number of friends to assist at the miracle,

treated him as amountebank rather than as
an artist"

Rebels Routed.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-SenOr Becerra,
the Colombian minister at Washington, re-
ceived to-day telegram from BOgota an
nouDcing that the rebels at Barranquilla,
perSisting in their determination to ascend
the Gamitz Magodebria river, had been
completely routed at Coleman. Their fleet
OF sixteen vessels suffered considerable
damage through the explosion of the one
which was laden with ammunition. Most
all of the revolutionary leaders are supposed
TO have been either killed or seriously
wounded. 1t is believed that the explosion
of the vessel was caused by a shot fired by
the government troops. The government
has taken vigorous measures TO prevent the
rebels from obtaining munitions of war
or provisions from the coast, and has al
ready stationed a gunboat at the port OF
Sabinalla. News of the final subsection of
the rebels is expected by Senior Becerra at
any moment.

M1SFnHCATEn

We observe universal complaint going
around that the agricultural colleges are
not being patronized as they should be. In
fact many of them are being compelled TO
suspend or close up entirely because they
have no students. Perhaps it has not oc-
CURED to the complainants that the fault is
with the colleges and not with the farmers
who refuse TO send their sons to these
schools. 1t is too often the case that the
boy whose parents has designed him for
farmer goes to an agricultural school and
receives a theoretical knowledge of agricul-
ture which totally units him for the practi-
cal work of the farm. There is too much
of the ''high falutin" nonsensical method of
teaching in these schools and too little of
the good old-fashioned, common-sense sys-
TEN. In nine cases out of ten the professors
are men who never did an honest days work
on farm during an entire lifetime. 1t
matters not how much scientific learning
they possess, it doesn't avail anything unless
they have a thorough practical knowledge
of the details of farm life. The result is
that sensible farmers who desire TO make
farmers of their sons, instead of sending
them to schools to be taught by men who
have had no experience in the kind of work
they profess to teach, prefer to keep their
boys at home under their own eyes to re-
ceive training that will be of some benefit
to them. A months schooling between the
plow handles is of more service to farmer
boy than full session at an agricultural
school. The boy who has learned to har-
ness and unharness a team is more useful
on farm than half the graduates of the
agricultural colleges. More practice and
less theory is what we want in all our varied
systems of education.

OXFORD, Miss, July 12.-This morning
about 2 o'clock copper-colored negro,
about 25 years old, went into the bedroom
of two young ladies of high responsibility,
no other persons being in the house, and at
tempted to outrage the eldest, aged 10. He
dragged her out in the hall, when the
younger sister lit a lamp and the intruder
fled. An alarm was given and at daylight
the negro was arrested at his mothers house.
He stated to his captOrs that he had stayed at
home all night, but his mother said he had
come home at o'clock this morning He
then told other stories as to where he had
been, but the circumstantial evidence was
strongly against him. He was taken before
the young ladies, who had full view of
him when the lamp was lit at their resi-
dence, and fully identified him. At 9

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The Pennsylvania teachers in their con-
vention at Harrisburg the other day dis
cussed the subject of industrial education,
and came to the conclusion that the public
schools were turning out too many profess
sional men and too few educated farmers
and tradesmen. The subject of industrial
education Is live one, and the time is close
at hand when industrial schools will be a
part of our public school system. AT the
same time it must be understood that when
ever the system of industrial education is
adopted, in order to make it successful, the
training of the youth must be in the hands
of those who have practical knowledge Of
what they attempt TO teach. 1t is TO be
feared that the disposition of young men to
crowd the professions and 10 avoid manual
labor comes as much from inherent laziness
as anything else. The boy who has the will
to work with his hands is not ashamed TO
do IT,

More About Maxwell.

CSAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-The arrival
of the steamer Australia to-day, from Auck-
land, New Zealand, June %, brings the
following information regarding the case of
Maxwell, the alleged murderer of Preller,
at st. Louis, in the early part of April
last: The case was remanded for
a week at time until the arrival of the
officers, which occurred few days after
the Australia sailed, when, as reported by
telegraph, Maxwell was turned over to
them. On June Is Supreme Justice Gillies
heard an application for writ of habeas
corpus, made by Mr.. Napier, counsel for
Maxwell, on the ground that the warrant
issued by Extradition Commissioner Seth
Smith for the detention of Maxwell was
void, as it did not disclose his jurisdiction.
The court held that there was nothing on
the face of the warrant to show that 1t was
bad, and refused the application.
