SOciaiistlc Rant.

LONDON, October 6.-The social Demo-
cratic Federation issued a manifesto in
which it says: The unemployed are certain
to experience distress still greater than that
experienced in 1885. Honest workmen and
their families are doomed to a hopeless
struggle with starvation during the coming
winter. The wealthy classes are respon-
sible for the awful neglect of our poor. Our
rulers could not but fear for themselves if
they could but see the misery which selfish
apathy inficts upon the producers OF
wealth. Show them your despair and their
danger. Leave your slums and follow the
lord mayors show in November-silently
solemnly-in order to convince the rich as
they are driven to their banquet that the
most munificent charity on their part can
never plaster over the cancer which their
mad greed for wealth has planted in the
heart of our civilization.

day. In regard to the removal OF the In

he said: 1.-The removal OF the Indians was
Pioneers, by every newspaper in the terri
tory for many years, and in every annual
report made by me under Arthur's and
Cleveland's administrations, I asked for
the same, and Secretary Lamar in making
his report to Congress last December, epn-
bodied my recommendations, thereby en-
dorsing them.
Do yon think General Miles was to blame
for making compromise with Geronima?"
No, do not. think Miles pursued the
only possible course to secure peace in the
territory. It was always General Crooks
opinion and mine that the capture OF Ger

and removal OF him and his men was essen
tial to permanent peace. II these Indians
had been forced to surrender un condition
ally as the government demanded, which it
would have been almost impossible to
make them do, and to have been given
legal trial for their crimes, what good
would it have done. No witnesses were alive
to prove their guilt, and they would have
been cleared for want of evidence, that is
if they had not escaped before their trial
and resumed their bloody operations.
WASHINGTON. October THE Indian
question involving the deposition OF Geron-
imo, was the principal topic OF discussion
at the cabinet meeting to-day.

the statement in the recent annual report
OF Governor Warren, OF Wyoming, that
the immigration and settlement OF public
lands in that Territory are being sensibly
checked by several requirements exacted
from the settlers by the new rules and reg

Cured.

yards.

to-day by the daring robbery and subse-
quent chase and capture Of two OF the

occurred in the lobby Of the Postoffice.
Gen. Beazell had wallet containing $500,
which he placed on counter beside him
while conversing with Postmaster Swan.
The thief, who had evidently been watch
ing his opportunity, quickly picked up the
wallet and was making OFF when Gen. Bea-
zell seized him. A struggle ensued, and the
thief drew a revolver and fired at his CAP
tor, who released his hold, allowing him to
escape. A large crowd gave chase, and the
culpriv. who had been joined by two accom-.
plices, turned on their pursuers and began
firing their revolvers. The fire was re-
turned, and for q short time there was a
perfect fusilade Of shots. Finally two OF
the thieves were cornered, and after a des-
perate struggle were captured. The man
with the wallet, however, got away and is
