THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

The suggestion made by the committee of
the late Mohawk Indians and strongly in
dorsed by Gen. SHERIDAN, relating to the
future disposition of the Indians and pro-
viding for the maintenance, is the most
practical scheme that has yet been presented
to the government. There must be limit
to the burthen of maintaining the Indians as
the wards of the nation. There must be
some scheme devised by which they can be
made independent of the government The
first thing to do in this direction is to de-
stroy their tribal relations. In order to do
this it will be necessary to adopt the sug-
gestion Of the Lake Mohawk Indians and
divide the Indian land in severalty.
Gen. SHERIDAN gives practical solu-
ton OF the matter when he recommends
that each family be provided with home
stead of certain number of acres, and
then let the government buy the remainder
of their lands. The fund which would be
realized from this source would be amply
sufficient to support the Indians perma-
nently, or at least would last long enough
to provide for them until they could become
civilized, educated, and become settled in
agricultural pursuits When that was done
and they were brought up to the same
plane with the white men all obligations on
the part of the government would be dis
charged, and from that time forth the In
dian would have to work out his own des-
tiny just as the other races ON this CONT
nent have to do.

NEW YORK, Nov. lathe Chinese mer-
chants of this city have sent to President
Cleveland the following address:
To His Exeellency, the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States of
America-At meeting of the Chinese mer-
chants of this city held Nov. 10, 1885, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted:
After many outrages have been committed
upon our fellow countrymen in lawless dis
tricts by desperate, ignorant and wicked men,
it gives US, the Chinese merchants OF New
York, great and unspeakable pleasure to
learn that the president Of the United States
has issued an official proclamation to protect
our people, redress the wrongs done to the
injured, punish the malefactors and pre-
vent, by his power, repetition of
the actions which have caused so much
suffering and death. We desire to express
our gratitude and to thank the president for
his righteous course, his courage and his
love of justice. We assure him that he has
increased our admiration and veneration for
his fearlessness and wisdom, and our respect
and obedience to all his laws. We also as
sure him respectfully that our cOuntrymen
n the United States endeavor to be good,
peaceful and law-abiding citizens, and that
they are always anxious and eager to obey
and enforce his laws, and so promote that
prosperity and peace which are as dear to
them as they are to the great officers and
writer's of his land. We instruct our scribes
to interpret this into English, and to send the
same, with all expressions of our esteem and
generation to his eXcellency, the president.
Given at our municipal chambers, the fifth
day of the ninth moon of the eleventh year
of the reign of the Emperor Lwong Suly.

multitude of unemployed who swarm in our
cities, and in the homes full Of misery. pow
erty and domestic bitterness growing out OF
enforced idleness. Not every boy who grad
yates from our present educational system
makes failure or wreck of his life, but
those who succeed are the exceptions, and
there are not enough of them to prove the
rule.
''The perfect system of education is that
which best equips boy to meet the emer-
gencies of life and enables him to master
them. 1t must teach him to do and pro-
duce, instead Of to live off Of those who do
not produce. This is working world, and
the boy who is sent into it unable to work,
ignorant of its productive industries and its
agricultural, mechanical. and scientific
methods, and unsklled in the use of his
hands, is handicapped in the struggle for
success and confronted with every chance
of failure at the very beginning of the race.
The manual training school bids fair to
supply this deficiency. 1t is still in the ex-
perimental stages. but its basis is a correct
one, and the time is not far distant when
no system Of education will be considered
complete without it,"

Progress of the New Pool.

New YORK, Nov. 12.-During the last
two days material progress has been made
by the officers of the trunk-line railroads
toward the establishment of more amicable
relations between the several companies.
The standing committee of the trunk lines.
winch has been in session in Commissioner
klnk.s office, has also, in connection with
the Western roads, arranged for an advance
IN Doth freight and passenger rates. The
most Important point decided upon is the
recognition Of the Baltimore & Ohio as
New York road, and it's claim for per-
centage OF the passenger traffic from this
city has been allowed. Its arrangements
for leaving this city have not been an
nounced but it is understood that for the
present, at least, it will connect over the
Pennsylvania road. The passenger pooling
contract has been completed and ratified
and is now being signed by the presidents.
All but two had signed it yesterday after
noon, and within a few days rates will be
advanced to basis of $40 between New
York and Chicago. 1t is understood that
the several local ticket offices in this CITY
will be consolidated, so that all the roads
will be represented in each office. Orders
have been issued to advance west-bo
freight rates on Nov. Is to the basis of rs
cents per 100 pounds from New York to
Chicago, 90 cents for second class, 45 cents
for third, 35 for fourth and 25 cents for
special. The present irst-class rate is go
cents per 100 pounds, and the others are
from 10 to 20 cents below the new figures

VICIOUS LITERATURE.

Editor STEAD, in his prison garb break
ing oakum, presents an entirely different
spectacle from Editor STEAD of a few
weeks ago, who reveled in the belief that
he was the biggest man in England. The
sudden and extreme change which has been
brought about will doubtless impress the
Pail Mall editor with sense Of the little
ness of human ambition and of the folly of
attempting to build reputation on sandy
foundation. Mr.. STEAD's plea of good in
tention had the effect of winning from the
jury a recommendation of mercy. But
when all the facts are taken into considera-
ton it is doubtful whether Mr.. STEAD
was entitled to this clemency on the
part of the jury. In the face OF the
fact that great deal Of his
so-called revelation" was stale stuff, and
what he pledged his word to have been
personally KNOWN" he knew only upon
the testimony Of the woman JARRETT, who
has since confessed its falsity, it does occur
to the public that pure philanthropy was
the only motive of the editor. But, what
ever his motives may have been, his prompt
conviction and the unanimitY with which
the court proceedings are Endorsed by the
English people, indicate clearly enough that
people over there do not justify the publ
cation Of such odious obscenity, even though
it be done with good intentions. Excellence
of motive cannot be tolerated as an excuse
for crime. Whatever their intentions
were, STEAD and his associates have
been guilty far beyond the mere
charge upon which he was convicted. They
brought filthy vice into familiar relation
with the young and innocent, and society is
bound to make an example of them. That
is the meaning of the verdict in the STEAD
case.
If such things are not Jolerable in
English society, where the vices were sup
posed to exist of which the Pail Mall Ga
zette protested to make a revelation, what
shall be said Of the conduct of those news
papers in this country which republished
all the sickening details of the so-called
disclosures? There may have been some
shadow of excuse for it on that side of the
ocean. There was none here. If the
punishment awarded STEAD with his plea
of good intentions was just. what sort of
punishment ought to be dealt out to the
newspaper publishers in this country who
reprinted the sickening scandal without any
such plea to be used in mitigation of their
crime? STEAD's crime pales into insig-
nifcance when compared with that of the
American newspapers which carried the
filthy vice into the homes of purity and
innocence.

THE sOUTH sOLIDIFYrNG.

The indications are that the negro vote in
the South is to become as solidly Democratic
in time as the white vote is now Gen.
GoFF of West Virginia, who was member
of the HAYES cabinet suumped Virginia
in the late canvass for the Republican ticket.
In an interview with the New York Trib-
une Gen. GoFF says that the Republicans
lost most heavily in the last election in the
counties known as the ''Black Belt" and
that the Democrats secured the election
through the manipulation of the colored
vote. This candid admission of the loss of
the colored vote to the Republican party is
itself an indication that the negro race is at
last beginning to assert itself as an indie
pendent factor in American poll
tics. The fact that a Democratic
administration has given proper recognition
to their race is a complete refutation of the
assertions made by the Republican leaders
that the negroes would be remanded to
slavery in case of a Democratic victory. The
colored people now discover that their Re-
publican white leaders have been telling
them falsehoods, and with this discovery
there naturally arises the suspicion that if
they have been dealt with falsely in one par
ticular they may look for deception in other
directions. But more than that, as the col
ored people become more intelligent and
more capable of judging for themselves and
protecting their own interests they discover
that Democratic policy is more beneficial
for them and their interests than Republi
can principles. The negroes are jewellers
in the South, and always will be as long as
they remain in America. There is no other
section of the United States so well adapted
to their nature and habits. The South is
an agricultural section, and always will be.
The people of the South, both white and
black. are tillers of the soil, and always
will be. The protection principles of the
Republican party are no more suited to the
interests of the Southern colored man than
they are to the interests of the Southern
white man. Consequently, as the colored
man progresses in intelligence he will see
more clearly that his interests are identified
with Democratic principles. Thus it is that
the time is coming when it will be as nat
ural for the colored man of the South TO be
a Democrat as it is for the sparks to fly
upward.

W00d Rates.

sofa shall be furnished cheap transporta-
ton. They first took up the grain rates,
and, before they have settled the vexed
question of reasonable rates, they paralyze
the railroads bv ordering them to make out
a new wood tariff, stating that the present
ones are too high. Complaints, it is stated,
were received most frequently by the COM
missioners from shipperssalong the st. Paul
& Duluth road, though the commissioners
state that the wood rates on all the lines,
excepting tho Minneapolis d st. Louis road,
are unreasonable, and they directed the
Manitoba road and others to make out new
tariff reducing their rates. Yesterday the
Manitoba issued tariff which it thinks
will be about correct. The rates given are

known as the American Turf congress. Mr..

B. G. Bruce of Kentucky secretary and
treasurer. Racing rules were amended in
several particulars and it was decided to Ii
cense jockeys. One of the principal changes
in the rules was one which makes it impos-
sible for any one interested in any of the
horses in the races to act as judge, and
that horse shall not be considered
starter for the purpose of settling bets until
he is actually in the hands of the starter.
The fixing of dates for the different spring
and fall meetings was not accomplished, as
no satisfactory arrangements could be
reached.
