THE "CowBoY" REGIMENTS.

The House Military Committee, in
reporting the bill to raise couple of
cowboy" regiments to fight the In
dams, makes some interesting remarks,
il states that within the past twenty
years, !, 900 residents of Arizona and
New Mexico have been massacred by
the Apaches; and of that thousand one
hundred were women, who were bru-
tally outraged before being put to
death. The committee does not in the
least reflect upon the regular army in
recommending the equipment of the
cowboy regiments The failure of
the army to suppress Indian outbreaks,
it pronounces "a failure Of system in n
contest with chaos" Military opera
tions are based on science and are regu-
lated with mathematical precision.
The army, therefore, cannot success
fully cope with foe whose tactics are
the product of instinct, coupled with
the willy cunning and more than the
ferceness of the wild beast. No one

The committee disposes Of the point
made that 10 organize cowboy warfare
upon the Indians is TO show the spirit
of private revenge by saying that there
is no thirsty demand for blood by the
harassed settlers simply for the sake OF
blood. Self-preservation is the first
law Of nature. The settlers want tho

Woe is me, Abilene.

This sadness presses everywhere,
Below, above, on earth, in air
Och, hone! Och, hone.
The wicked ones have laid snare,
And gobbled krohn!

The following is taken from the Clay
Center argus, one of the most progress
sive republican papers in the state:
When he took his present position on
the Abilene Gazette as the engineer of d
whisky organ we knew his end was not
far off. He started down and now he
is down. A man of his pretended piety
who could contribute his work to build
I'D a whisky organ and interlard his edi-
torials with the slang Of the street must
be rotten somewhere. We have be-
lieved for a long time that Philip krohn
was hypocrite, fraud and sensualist.
We were at Bakers University a
few years since, when at the oratOrical
contest he outraged justice by his action
as a Judge, and we saw his imagine
that the angry students hung across
the street. and we said then as now that
he deserved what has befallen him.

\ special from Joplin, Mo-, to the
Kansas City Times, says:
The Krohn episode and everything
connected Herewith is being read with
interest here, as that worthy was at
one time stationed in this city. He
came here in the winter of 1SS0-S1 and
remained about a year. He had charge
of the Methodist congregation and
preached in the first church built in
Joplin. which was a diminutive struc-
ture The congregation soon grew I'M
til the accommodations were inadequate
to the demand. He then conceived the
idea of building fine edifice for wOr-
ship and took up a subscription for that
purpose. 1t was not completed, how
ever, until about two years later, as he
became connected in some way with a
piece of forgery and was indicted on two
counts by the grand jury, but the case
was dismissed in the circuit court.
Soon after he left for Kansas and sub
sequently rumorS were heard to the eff
feet that he could not account for all
the money subscribed to the church
fund. and more than one member of his
church has regarded his actions in that
connection with suspicion.

The Albany, On. " Journal, in
speaking of the late Krohn affair adds
the following:
In the spring of 1878 the Troy Con-
ferance assigned him to the Washington
Street NJ. f. Church, West Troy. He
had been at West Troy about three
years when rumors obtained currency
in the community affecting his charac-
ter for morality and financial dealings.
In the ministers congregation was a
very lively young lady named Mary
Stokes and another very quiet but pre-
possessing young woman named Minnie
Van HeuSen. The reports were to the
effect that the Rev. DR., Krohn's rela-
tions with both these ladies were not
exactly such as should exist between a
pastor and the female members of his
flock. His investigation was had in
October 1850, and the evidence ELECTED
was rather peculiar, Miss Mary Stokes
had in the mean time become Mrs. Mary
Mabin. She was called as witness
and testified in substance that the Rev.
Dr.. Krobn had called upon her, had de-
clared that he loved her, and that OH
one occasion had made an insulting
proposal to her When she asked him
what he meant by it, he passed it off by
