H. Arirnnn Indian Wan.

Repeated complaints have been made OF
the ineficiency OF ordinary troops, "heth-
er infantry or cavalry, in chasing the hos
tile Apache Indians. Attention has been
more than once called 70 the tact that the
Indians. almost unencumbered with bag
gage and camping outfits, are enabled,
by changing horses often. to make dashes
OF sixty or eighty miles per day, and To
rad settlements and escape with very
little danger Of being overtaken or cut on
by the troops.
No doubt the troops are as lightly equip
ped and are handled as eXpeditiously as
possible, lncumbered rs they are under
the present system Of arming and equip
ping them, and no doubt they are aided
by the friendly Apaches, who ought to be
as expert warriors as their hostile
brethren, but still 1t appears that the
campaign so far has been almost without
result, as no party of Indians OF any con-
sequence has yet been encountered. 1t
seems thai the small parties that baVe
been overtaken and routed, killed, or
captured, have all been squaw parties,
and although the death and wouDding Of
some of the Indian leaders have been re-
ported, the JUNIORS may well be doubted.
The government will probably have to
fit out a regiment or brigade of light
horsemen especially adapted for service
against the Indians. Such a command,
aided by friendly Indians, would be worth
three times the number Of ordinary cav
airy. The first thing to be done Is to Sc
cure the submission Of the hostiles. The
next will be to provide for the punishment
Of those who have been guilty Of outrages
and to guard against future outbreaks.
1t is to be hoped that they will not get
off as lightly as they did two years ago
Those who nave been guilty of murder
should be tried and executed, and those
guilty of other crimes should be dealt
with In other ways. The h0stiles should
be confined at some point remote from the
friendly Apaches, and should not be
allowed TO rest and r%ecuperate on the
bounty of the government, and to supply
themselves with guns and ammunition
for another raid on the defenseless settle
ments.

BUSINESS

Opening Of the Commercial YeRr-HOw
to Make q Good Beginning.
1t is customary in the cotton growing
States to date the business year from
Sept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
zine when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given TO trade. One ofthe
means used to give business a good start
at the beginning OF the business year is
advertising. The enterprisihg mer-
chant uses the columns of the news
paper to inform his patrons that he is
stil in the land Of the living; thst he has
weathered the dull season, and again
solicits their trade. The newspaper pub
Usher uses the opening OF the season TO
review the business Of the past year, and
10 give his city a frst-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely of those
who advertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers,
ought to bring their business before the
public.
Such advertising may not, In every case,
be productive of immediate results, but
It viii give their business houses a stand
ng abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ.
tain.
No enterprising business man Of this
city who expects to prosper can afford tc
leave an announcement Of his business
out of the Trade Edition Of the MORNING
NEWS. This edition will be issued OF
Sept. 5. No efforts will be spared TO make
It such an edition as every savannahiar
will have reason 10 be proud OF.

The New Railroad Policy.

The action of the general passenger
agents Of the Southern railroads at their
recent meeting III Atlanta, withdrawing
emigrant tickets to points north of the
Ohio River and west OF the Mississippi, Is
meeting the hearty approval of the press
and people.
The MORNING NEWS has several times
called the attention of Southern railroad
managers to the fact that the policy Of
selling tickets TO ~emigrants at nominal
rates was a suicidal one 1t was Ike
killing the goose that laid the golden ogg,
aud then not getting more gold than
would actually pay them the cost OF the
killing. They aot 10 prOat Of censeqgence
out of the emigrsnt traAic, n they di-
rectly encouraged the depopulation Of the
sections through which their lines run,
and on which they must depend for pat
ronage in the future.
The true policy is the Offering OF re-
duced rates to immigrants. The railroads
can better afford to haul prospectors at
very low round-trip rates and bring in
actual settlers free of charge than to haul
people away from their lines at full fares.
Every addition to our industrial popula.
ton, whether 1t be OF Il capitalist or a
laborer, gives the railroads one more per-
manent patron, Railroads cannot afford
TO depend on through business for their
profits. That has TO be competed for, and
the tenure on IL is never very sure.
Local business can be depended on when
a road runs through a populous section o,
country. Every citizen, from the greatest
to toe least influential, is directly or in
directly "A contributor TO the prosperity Of
the railroads.
The fact that railroads have been built
into the wilderness hundreds, and even
thousands Of miles, and have developed
by the enterprise OF their managers pop
ulous aud wealthy Territories aud States
along their lines, shows what Southern
roads may do as developers. True the
land 10 be improved and developed here
does not belong TO the roads, but the roads
are already here and cannot be moved,
and their managers are bound by consid-
erations OF public spirit and solf.intorest
% do everything that Is possible 20 build
up their several sections OF the country.

Miss Ada Sweets Feminity.

IRWIN OtCCdlU OOcCtOts
The last poke in the ribs from Commission
er Of Pensions General Black has really made
Miss Ada Sweet cry with veXatiOn. Thai
plucky little woman doesn't mean TO be weak,
to use her own words, "but it IS so awfully
mean to raise a hue and cry which the gener-
al public is apt to mlsc0nstrue and for which
there Is no prOyocation, since the books Will
stand microscope examination" There is alb
s0lutely nothing erroneous in her dispens -
ton OF pension funds. AS stated, the FIVE
hundred-OdG names were on the carrying and
not on the drawing pension sheets, and the
most ssnguine Of her enemles will
fail to substantlate any one of the
charges OF incficiency raised against her.
While she shows the front Of q female Mar,
"soncealment, like a worm,' is paying havoc
with her leisure and dessert. In her idle mo-
ments she PAGES her pretty Office, ruDs her
fingers together in a violent sort Of a way and
taps the soft carpet with the toes Of her right
foot continually. At the restaurant where
she dimes she looks neither TO the right nor
left, and is a. Cncomplaining ~ a charity
scholar. she usu&ly takes rice or tapioea
pudding for dessert, over which she sits with
her mild blue eyes crossed in vacancy, beating
the custard compound with the back OF her
spoon. Miss sweet is getting tat as Fanny
Davenport, but for all that she wears a bleed
ing heart-kind-o Loft an aspect that Is most
painful for her friends to contemplate.

Didn't Know His Own Cows.
From the NetD York San.


-BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 2.-Mr. p. T. Barnum
has a large herd Of Attorney cows, which are
pastured daily on the meadow that adjOins
Seaside Park. While riding out last Satur-
day afternoon Mr.. Barnum discovered n large
lumber of cattle grazing in a fine field of
grass which he owns at the corner of Park
place and Park avenue. He was indignant,
and asked Hugh, the driver, to turn about
and go to Waldemere, where orders were
given TO have the intruding cattle driven to
the public pound.
The orders were obeyed. At night the
dairyman went to find the cows, n they
were not to be found. This fact was COM
municated to the great Snowman, who asked
where they were left. Then Mr.. Barnum
learned that the pasture ground had been
changed, and that the cattle he had sent to
the pound were his own property. He went
TO the pound and found them locked in, and
several dollars had to be transferred to the
~poundkeeper's nocket before that official
would liherate the animals.
Mr.. Barnum enjoys the joke upon himself
immensely, and told 1t in confidence to a
friend this morning,

A Mountain With the Ague.
From the Nea0 York Sun.

= VIM sfNC q 1 " ~ bGfte
Several gentlemen vino were lately on q
fishing excursion to Black Mountain, North
Carolina, report phenomena resembling the
Bald mountain disturbances Of a few Vears
ago. The party were camped on a bluff near
Lenolr, a small town 40 miles from Asheville.
and one day while preparing dinner, the bluff
quaked several times, the quaking being ac-
companied by a low rumbling noise resem-
bling thunder. The shocks were sufficiently
severe to dislodge bOulders of enormous size,
which numbered dow the mountain side,
adding to the confusion and condemnation Of
the gentlemen. Watauga river, a rapid flow
ing mountain stream at the foot of the .bluf,
was noticed to roll up great billow VS., like the
sea in a heavy wind. Several hours after the
shocks were repeated, but were not so heavy.
The shocks were felt throughout 4 wide Sec
ton Of country with more or less severity.
Natives were terribly excited, and not a few
believed that the end OF the world had come.
One family occupying a large lOghOuse moved
their furniture and refused to live under shell
ter longer. The fishing party were camped
within Is miles of the famous Bald noun

The Walkup poisoning case in EmpOria'
Kansas, grows in interest. A young
wife, a bride of six months, is charged
with having poisoned her husband with
arsenic, and a very vigorous efforti is being
made by the family of the dead man to
prove the charge.
The facts Of the case have appeared In
u dispatches. Mr.. j.. r. Walkup, the
dead man, met at New Orleans a beautl-
ful girl, the daughter of a lawyer of that
city named Wallace, during the Worlds
FAIR. He had known her family for years.
She was II and be was IS. After a short
courtslip they were married, and went to
their Kansas home. A few days ago he
was taken sick suddenly with all
the symptoms of arsenical poisoning,
and died. Because it was shown that
Mrs. Walkup had purchased arsenic for
some purpose a few days previous to Mr..
Walkup's sickness, IL was concluded that
she had poisoned him.
She very %pertinently inquiries for
better reasons for suspecting
her. 1t does not appear that she was
harshiy treated, or hat she was in love
with another man. 1t is not shown that
she will be benefited in any respect by
her husbands death. Indeed, the fact is
she is left penniless. She says herself
that it was to her interest, from every
point of view, that her husband should
have continued to live.
Mrs. Walkup has strong friends at New
Orleans, and they are rallyIng to her de-
Tense. Unless more damaging evidence
than has yet been produced is forthcom-
ing she Will be fully acquitted of the hOr-
rible charge under which she rests. But
even II she is acquitted the fact that she
has been suspected of such a horrible
crime will cloud all the rest of her life.

Mr.. John Russell Young, late Minister
to China, reached New York Wednesday.
he talked quite freely about matters re-
lating to China. With regard TO religion
he said; 1.-THE Chinese have two forms
Of faith-Buddhism, and Islamism'
But religion in China, rs [ observed
it, is more n matter OF domestic
life han anything else. It is not like the
Catholic or Protestant or MOhnmmedan
faith. Those who really nave faith have
accepted the fact that they must consider
the social and domestic questions that be-
long to every Chinaman- With a China
man the first consideration is the father
and mother, the grandfather or the grand
mother, and the most severe duty i'm.
posed upon a Chinaman in q relig-
GUS way are duties that are
involved in paying reverence TO his ances
tors, That is the cornerstone, the funda.
mental truth Of all Chinese faith. When
LII Hung Chang himself, the Grand Secre-
tary Of State, the Emperor's guardian, the
Bismarck OF China, lost his mother, under
Chinese custom he should have gone into
mourning for over two years. Mourning
meant sitting on the tomb, living In sack
cloth and ashes, paying respect TO his
mothers memory, and it required the
Emperor's imperial decree to commute
that long time Of sorrow TO a hundred
days; but his brother, who was Viceroy
OF Wen Chow, was compelled TO retire
from all his employment aud carry out
the custom. The act Of the Emperor in
making this Communication for Iii Hung
Chang is unexampled In the history Of
China"
Mr.. Young says that there ia no reason
why this country should not have almost
absolute control Of the trade OF China.
The ablest foreigners In china say that II
is only a question Of time when the tea
aud silk trade will be in the hands Of
Americans,
