UNEASY INDIANS.

Now the report comes from our own
Northwest that there IS possibility of
trouble with the Indians. While the prob
ability is that this report, like so many 9TH
ers will not be sustained by future events,
there is yet a sufficient possibility of an
uprising at any time to warrant the careful
investigation of every rumor and the con-
tinuance at the frontier posts Of reasonably
large detachments of troops. There is
no wonder that the Indians are at
times restless. With their reServa-
tions almost entirely barren of game
and the supplies issued by a paternal
government insufficient, through their prod
igal and gOrmandizing habits. it would be
cause for comment il the Indians did not
show disposition occasionally TO kick over
the traces. When it is understood that on
each of the large reservations there are sew
eral thousand Indians under guard of only
q few hundred soldiers, it will be seen that
should the malcontents stir their
companions up to open rebellion
very serious consequences might en-
sue before it could be checked
AHo 1HuIdllS dIo eAC6II6ntly dTmeu' dIo
obstinate and needless Of consequences,
and though the present incipient trouble
among the Piegans, BlOOds and Crows will
probably prove ne more serious than a
horse-stealing raid, still the closest posi-
BILE watch should be kept upon the move
ments of the savages. who, even at best.
will never become good Indians until. ac-
cording to the frontier recipe, they are sent
to the happy hunting grounds.

THE ANTI-SALOONISTS.

While the action of the national confer
ence of the anti-saloon Republicans in Chi
cago next week will hardly result in moral
earthquake, still the assembly will be one
that cannot be belittled. No one is on the
tip-toe Of expectancy to know what the
outcome of the conference will be, simply
because no one has any idea that it is going
to disturb the relations of existing political
parties to any material extent. The imme-
diate effect will most likely be to swell the
Prohibition ranks little. and that little
will be at the expense of the Republican
party. The conference will be composed of
earnest, well-meaning people, just as was
the state conference at Minneapolis yester-
day. The conference will be composed
argely of Republicans, but they will
not be of that class who can command
widespread influence in the Republi-
can party. The effort will be to force
the party to stand squarely on the
Prohibition platform. They may succeed
in getting the Republican party on such a
platform in certain sections of the country,
but the difficulty will be in tieing it down
after it is there. Under its present leader
ship the Republican party is a party that
runs with the hare and hunts with the
hounds. 1t is temperance party in Pro-
hibition districts only. So the leaders of
the anti-saloon Republican movement will
discover that they have undertaken little
bigger job than they will get through with
when they undertake to chain the Repub-
Hcan party down to any distinct issue on
the temperance question. But they can
build up an organization outside of the Re-
publican party.

Bracket, of Minneapolis, had long talk
with Meade, and on leaving assured him
that the Minneapolis boys would do all they
could to help him.
Much sympathy was expressed for Meade
when the news Of Farnsworth's death be-
came known last night. There was also
considerable speculation as to whether
the shooting would come under the
head of murder or manslaughter.
According to the penal code, murder in the
first degree is ''when the killing is perpe-
trated with a premeditated design to effect
the death of the person killed" Murder in
the second degree is ''when committed
with design to effect the death OF the per-
son killed. but without deliberation or
generalization. Murder In the third de-
gree is when perpetrated by an
act eminently dangerous to others
and evincing depraved mind,
regardless of human life. although
without premeditated design to effect the
death of any individual" Manslaaghter is
killing in the heat of passion, but in
a cruel and unusual manner or
by means of a dangerous weapon.
Murder in the second degree is punishable
by Imprisonment in the state
prisonfor the offenders nat
ural life. Murder in the
third degree is punishable by
by imprisonment in the state prison for not
less than seven nor more than thirty years.
Manslaughter is punishable by imprison-
ment for not less than five nor more than
twenty wears

WHAT CAN BE DON e.

When Chief JOSEPH was captured seven
or eight years ago, some of the children Of
his band were semitic the industrial school at
Carlisle, Pa. A few days since, Capt.
PRATT, in charge of that school. tele
graphed gentleman of this city that one
of these pupils, girl, Is years old. was to
be returned to her home at Lewiston,
Idaho, and asked him if he would see her
safely, on her long journey, through this
city. She was met at the depot and taken
to the gentleman's home and cared for until
the time arrived for her to leave by the
Northern Pacific railroad. This young
girl had adopted the name of HARRIET
ELDER. She was well educated, could
cook. make her own clothes, perform quite
well on the piano and had the manners of a
perfect lady. This is mentioned to show
what are the possibilities of this race. 1t
is by far better to educate them than
to fight them. In fact, Capt. PRATT
is doing more to solve the Indian question
than all the arsenals in the country. The
doubt is often expressed that these
Indians, when educated and returned to
their tribes, will relapse into their old
manners of life. This point has been care
fully examined, and it is found that only 5
per cent. do so. That is, ninety-fve out
of every hundred return and live up to the
advantages they have received. Certainly
the outlook is encouraging for the reclama-
ton of the sons and daughters of the
forests and the plains. When the tribal
system is broken up and land is given to
these people in severalty, we may reason
ably hope for rapid strides in Indian civili-
Zation,

MONTREAL, Sept. 9.-At the meeting Of
the provinciali synod of the Anglican
church to-day an American delegation, COM

Eugene Hoffman of New York, Rev. Mr..
Converse of Boston, and r. M. Nelson of
Alabamba, were introduced in the lower
house and were warmly received, the
metropolitan and the house of bishops
also being present. The metropolitan, the
Bishop of Ere dricton, and Rev. Mr..
Langly, both extended hearty welcome to
the delegates The Bishop of Michigan,
IN reply, said that American churchmen
watched with pride and warm Interest the
progress of the church in Canada, and
could not forget that they could claim a
common ecclesiastical lineage. He said:

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

1t may seem rather odd to look upon the
earthquake which devastated Charleston as
in any way beneficial. but it is not at all
certain that the catastrophe was not a
blessing in disguise. 1t seems pretty well
established that most of the buildings which
were destroyed had been poorly constructed
and shoddy materials had been made use
of. These buildings, erected long ago.
were too valuable to tear down and yet
added nothing to the solidity or business
like appearance of the town. In their
destruction through a visitation of PrOyi-
dence there is an opportunity to replace
them with structures more be6tting Charles
toms commercial Importance. Just as Chi
cago's great fire removed from the city a
great many Tamshackle buildings and en-
abled the building of blocks which are
among the finest in the country, so it
will be in Charleston. In place of the
shoddy structures will be erected more
substantial houses, built with view to a
recurrence of the earthquakes, and the city
will be gamer in solidity and architectural
beauty

QTEFN VCTORTA

A correspondent objects to giving Queen
VICTORIA credit for her expression of SYM
pathy for the earthquake sufferers because
of her refusal to favor relief policy for
Ireland. The GLOBE is as sorry as its cor
respondent can be that the British throne
does not express more sympathy for suffer-
ing Ireland. But if our correspondent only
knew how little influence the queen really
exerts in framing governmental policy for
England he would, perhaps, be more liber-
ally disposed toward the kind-hearted old
lady. She wears her crown and draws her
salary, and beyond that is only puppet in
the hands of her cabinet. While we are
no friend to royalty in any form, candor
compels us to say that VICTORIA is the best
example of royal ruler to be found in the
world to-day. The one dark stain on her
nearly fifty years reign is Ireland's op-
preston, and we hope to see that wiped out

The Imprisoned Americans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The cases Of
Wood and Gaskell, arrested by the Mexi-
cans IN Lower California, has been before
the state department some time, and
nothing, it is asserted, has been left undone
by the American consul at LapaZ acting
under the instructions of the secretary OF
state, to see that the prisoners received the
protection they are entitled to. They are
accused by the Mexican authorities Of hav-
ing murdered fellow American. The
Mexicans claim that the body of the MUIR
dered man was found, and that all the evil
dence at hand pointed to Wood and Gaskell
as the guilty parties. If there has been
unreasonable delay or irregularity of pro-
cedure, as seems to be claimed. in the pris-
oners' appeal to the governor of Texas, the
fact has not yet been made known at the
QeDartment.

DUBLIN, Sept. 9.-United Ireland says
that no power in Great Britain can collect
the landlords tribute in Ireland ''in the
face of an organized, united and level
headed people," The Catholic bishops,
assembled at Maynooth, have sent memo
rial to the English government urging the
adoption OF temporary measures to relieve
the Irish tenantry and prevent the OutrageS
to which they may resort in simple desper-
alton. The conference adopted resolutions
declaring that the Irish people appreciated
Mr.. Gladstones efforts in behalf of Ireland
and that they still adhere to their demand
for home rule, and Indignantly
DENIED THE TORY ASSERTIONS
that if the Irish people were allowed to
govern themselves in domestic affairs the
Catholic majority would abuse the power
conferred on the Irish parliament and
haraSs the PrOtestantS of the country. The
resolutions further declare that trouble and
disorder in both Ireland and Great Britain
will not cease until Ireland'S right to adj
minister her own laws is recognized. Most
Rev. William j. Walsh archbishop of
Dublin; Most Rev. Thomas W. CrOnker,
archbishop of Cashel; Most Rev. John
MacEvilly, archbishop of Tuam, and twen-
ty-three bishops were present at the confer
ence when the resolutions were adopted.
In the house of lords the Earl of Leitrm
moved that all leaseholders in Ireland have
access to the land commission for the adj
justment of rents, The Earl of Cadogan,

ment that it was impossible at the present
to accept the resolution of the Earl of
Leitrim, and it was thereupon withdrawn

The troops engaged in the WoodfOrd
evictons on their return to the barracks at
Birr protested against the work of forcibly

pie out of shelter into the roadway, and
declared they would in the future refuse to
perform such obnoxious duty. No effort
on the part of their superior officers could
quiet the determined indignation of the
soldiers, twenty of whom were placed un-
der arrest ON a charge of mutiny.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

Mr.. MORETON FREWENS interview with
the GLOBE on the silver question is attract
ing a good deal of attention, and his for
cible arguments in behalf of silver coinage
are evidently making an impression upon
many who have heretofore opposed it. In
a review of his opinions as expressed to the
GLOBE the Minneapolis Tribune says: ''Mr.
FREwEN is undoubtedly one of the most
brilliant and original members of that in
creasing group of English economists and
writers on monetary questions who have
entered the lists against gold monometall-
ism. No writer has done more to elucidate
the obscure subject of the effects upon in
ternatiOnal trade of fuctuating par of ex-
change between gold-standard and silver
standard countries than has Mr.. FREWEN." !"
The Tribune comedies that Mr.. FREwEN
is right when he prescribes interna-
tional bimetallism as the true standard,
but differs with him in the opinion
that our government should undertake
to increase the coinage of silver in advance
Of an international agreement We are
surprised to find our contemporary making
confession of its conversion to bimetallism
and at the same time urging that the sus-
pension of silver coinage in the United States
is the most effective means to bring
other nations to the bimetallic standard. To
our way OF thinking the argument is all in
favor of the United States not only taking
the initiative, but also of taking the ag-
gressiVe, in forcing the acceptance of the
silver standard. If chewing the bag is
proof of the pudding, we would make very
poor headway in convincing other
nations that silver coinage was the
proper thing after we had abandoned
it ourselves. The United States is silver
producing country. Etis also wheat and

BLAINE,s LAST BID.

Having run the old chestnuts OF protso-
tion, prohibition and the bloody shirt In
the Maine canvass until the people of the
Pine Tree state were compelled to ring the
gong on them, Mr.. BLAINE has introduced
new issue in the state canvass. 1t Is
pretty far-fetched issue, to be sure, for To-
cal canvass, but as nothing else was in sight
the Plumed Knight is now engaged in rat
tling his spear against the Democratic wall
because South Dakota was not admitted as
a state into the Union. Mr. BLAINE af-
fects to be terribly mad because Dakota was
not split up into two states. The singular
part of it is that Mr.. BLAINE failed to take
any Interest in the Dakota matter until after
he had learned that Gen. LOGAN had been
making trip through the territory. NOW
it seems to occur to him that Dakota needs
special champion, and wants to impress
the Dakota Republicans with the idea that
he is qualified to fill the place. Mr.. BLAINE
is a sly old coon.

cotton-producing country. AS long as it is
demonstrated that the prices OF wheat and
cotton are affected by the price of silver
then it is clearly the duty of the United
States to protect its own products, regard
less of what other nations may do. The
evidence given before the British royal
commission, which was appointed
last year by the British govern
ment to inquire into the present depression
of trade, demonstrates most clearly that for
ten years past the price of wheat has fol-
lowed every fuctuation in the price of sill
yer, rising temporarily as silver rose, fall
ing as silver fell. According to the testi-
mony of Mr.. INGLIS PALGRAvE, the able
eX-edltor of the London Economist, Every
fluctuation of one penny in the rate OF ex-
change is equivalent to an alteration of
II pence per quarter in the SELL
ing price of wheat in England" "
The reason why cheap silver and cheap
wheat are related as cause and effect is
obvious enough. Silver is showing itself a
steady standard of value, while gold, owing
to increased scarcity, is appreciating with
alarming rapidity and forcing down prices
all along the line, so much SO, in fact, that if
it should ever become necessary to establish
a monometallic standard in this country
it should be silver and not gold. The
money of the Bengal wheat farmer is the
silver rupee; the more rupees he procures
for his wheat the greater his profit. Ten
years ago the English sovereign bought ten
rupees. while now owing to the fall in the
price of silver it buys sixteen. Therefore
the Indian wheat farmer is able to sell his
wheat for 35 per cent. less for English gold
and yet procure as many rupees as before.
And yet the advocates of the suspension
of silver coinage in this country are abSo-
lutely advocating policy which would give
the Indian wheat grower still additional adj
vantages in his competition with the Amer
lean wheat grower Suspension of silver
coinage in the United States means the
further decline of silver and consequent
decline in the price of American wheat
Free coinage here will send silver. accord
ing to Mr.. FREwEN'S estimate, to 60 pence
rapidly, and that means 25 cents added to
the value of every bushel of wheat grown
in Minnesota and Dakota, and, indeed, on
this continent. AS between the two policies.
of suspending or increasing silver coinage,
there can be no division of opinion among
the wheat growers of the Northwest.

TT WONT WORK.

That is a very nice scheme Mr.. LOREN
FLETCHER has in process of incubation, to
nominate Hon. c. K. DAVIS for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket. But 1t Will
be apt to spoil in the Matching, if it is not
already dead in the shell. The bitterness
which has been engendered between the
GILMAN and MCGILL factions has sug-
gested the prOpriety of putting up COM
promise candidate, who could harmonlZe
ali elements of the party. No sooner was
the suggestion made than it occurred to
some of the friends of Mr.. LANGDoN that
Gov. DAVIS would make an excellent COM
promise candidate. The plan, as it is at
present outlined, is to wait until the con-
vention has been worn out and diSgusted
with the dirty factional fights that will be
injected into it, and at the most opportune
time spring the name of Gov. DAVIS before
the convention with the hope that he will
be carried into the nomination with such an
Irresistible tide of enthusiasm that he cannot
decline it, or if he does decline it viii have
to be done with such an exhibi-
ton of surlineSs and Indifference to party
obligations that it will injure his senatorial
prospects. It is. very nice scheme IN
theory, but it can't be reduced to practice.
If it could be carried out, it would be
monster boom for Mr.. LANGDoN. 1t
would practically give him a clear field for
the senatorship. AS piece of political
strategy it would be a grand success if
there were any of the elements Of success
attached to it. But there is the rub. The
GLOBE is not in Gov. DAVIS confidence,
nor does it assume to speak for him, but it
does speak advisedly when it says that the
governor is too old bird to be caught with
chaff. He is not going to be entrapped into
that sort of pitfalL He is a candidate
for the senate and has no gubernatorial bees
buzzing around his bonnet. Nor is that the
only obstacle in the way Of the execution
Of the DECENTRALIZATION plan. The
GILMAN and MCGILL hackers are not SEN
timental people. They are going into the
convention to stay there until one or the
other of them is nominated. They are
good stayers and they mean business. If
Gov. DAVIS ever wanted the gubernatorial
nomination he would have to go to work
and do some hard work at that to get it.
There are going to be no tidal waves of
enthusiasm to carry anybody into the NOM
ination. Under the circumstances the best
thing that Mr.. LANGDoN can do is to
scotch his own snake.

An Absconding Lawyer.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-One of the financial
transactions of Attorney George II. Leon
ard, who recently absconded, was exposed
yesterday in lawsuit by James w. Crabb.
of Hyde Park, in the superior court
Crabb wanted to borrow 81. 600 Oh prop
erty owned by him, and, acting on Leon
ards instructions, made out trust deed and
notes which he sent to Leonard. Crabb
never received any money and Leonard dis
appeared. Subsequently Crabb discovered
that Leonard had borrowed 50, 900 from
George Morris and executed Crabbs deed
in the owners name to secure the loan.
Morris conveyed the deed to o. G.. Fessen-
den, LeOnard'5 legal associate. Crabb sues
Fessenden and Morris to have the deed
cancelled and to escape the liability for a
oan of which he never got cent.
