The action of the school board OF
the village of Morris in its selection
of Il corps of instructors for this dis
trict for the next school year WIS an
unpleasant surprise TO Il majority Of
the patrons of the school. And the
consequent feeling of righteous in
dignation that pervades the entire
district is expressed in the comm uni
cations that appear in Tue Sun to.
day. Not because of any objection
that might be made to the incoming
instructors is this feeling made mani
fest, for the new principal and teach
ers are unknown to people OF this dis
trict; hence, no valid objection could
be made to them. But it is conceded
by all that as principal and an in
structor of the High School Prof. st.
John has been entirely successful,
and has filled the position with dig
nifty and ability. The patrons of the
school are nearly unit IN express
sions of entire satisfaction with his
work here. 1t is claimed, too that he
has been treated very unfairly in this
matter because, instead of giving him
timely notice that his services were
not desired here, so that he might
have AN opportunity TO secure an
other place. he was not made aware
of the intention of the board until his
successor was engaged. whether or
not the action is the result of political
bias is matter Of opinion, but to a
man up tree it does seem that the
intmations as to this by our cores
pondents are not entirely groundless.
At any rate for acting contrary to
their wishes in succeeding a public
servant who has been "!ried and
found not wanting" by one who is
unknown TO those whom he is brought
to serve, the members Of the school
board have drawn down upon their
heads the wrath of the people Of the
district.

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.

Satisfactory Progress of the Work of Re-
construction.
The report o. the secretary OF the navy demon
strates very intelligent management in that I'M
portant department ard discloses the most salts
factory progress in the work of reconstructing
the navy made during the past year. Of the
ships in course of construction, five. VIZ: The
Charleston, Baltimore, Yorktown, VesUvius and
the Petrol, have in that time been launched and
are rapidly approaching completion, and in adj
dition TO the above, the Philadelphia, the San
Francisco, the Newark, the Bennington, the
Concord and the Herreshoff torpedo boat are all
under contract for delivery to the department
during the next year. The progress already
made and being made gives good ground for the
expectation that these eleven vessels will be in
corporated part Of. the American navy within
the next twelve months.
The report shows that Notwithstanding tn
large expenditure for new construction and ad
ditlonal labor they involve the total ordinary or
current expenditure OF the department for the
three years ending June 30, 1888, less by more
than 20 per cent. than for such expenditures tor
the three years ending June 30 1884. The va
rious steps which have been taken to improve
the business methods of the business department
are reviewed by the secretary. The purchasing
Of supplies has been consolidated and placed un-
der responsible bureau head. This has result
ed in the curtailment of open purchases, which
in the years 1884 and 1885 amounted to over so
per cent Of all the purchases of the department.,
no less than IL per cent; SO at the present time
about 90 per cent OF the total departmental pur-
ehases are made by contract and after cOmpeti-
ton. AS the expenditures on the account eX-
coed an average OF 100000 annually. it is ev-
tenn has been inaugurated and substantial econ

THE EXILED APACHES.
Opposition to The ir Return to the Arixon


Opposition to Their Return to the Arizona
Reservation.
The Apache Indians, whose removal from their
reservation in Arizona, followed capture of those
OF their number who engaged in a bloody aud
murderous raid during a part of the years 1885
and 1886, are now held prisoners of war at
Mount Vernon barracks. in the state of Alabama.
They number on the 31st day of October, the date
of the last report So men, 10 women, 40 boys and
SO girls. in all 3S3 persons The commanding Of
fcer states that they are in good health and con-
tented, and that they are kept employed as fully
as is possible under the circumstances. The
children as they arrive at q suitable age sent
to the Indian schools at Carlisle and Hampton.
Last summer some charitable and kind people
asked permission to send two teachers to these
Indians for the purpose OF instructing the adults
as well as such children as should be found
there. Such permission was readily granted, &C.
and some portions of the buildings at the bar
racks were made available for school purposes.
The good work contemplated has been COM
menced, and the teachers engaged are paid by
the ladies with whom the plan originated.
/ am not at all in sympathy with those benev-
olent but injudicious people who are constantly
insisting that these Indians should be returned
to the reservation. Their removal was abso-
Lutte necessity if the lives and property of citi-
zenS upon the frontier are to be at ali regarded
by the government; their continual restraint at
a distance from the scene of their repeated and
cruel murders and outrages is still necessary. 1t
is mistaken philanthropy every way injurious
which prompts the desire to see these sayages re-
turned to their old haunts. They are in their
present location as the result of the best judg-
ment of those having official responsibility in
the matter and who are by no means lacking
in kind consideration for the Indians.
number of these prisoners have for
feted their lives to outraged law and
humanity. Experience has proved that they are
dangerous and cannot be trusted This is true
not only of those who the war-path have
heretofore been actually guilty of atrocious muir
der, but of their kindred and friends who, while
they remained upon their reservation, furnished
aid and comfort TO those absent with bloody in
tent. The prisoners should be treated kindly
and kept in restraint far from the locality OF
their iormer reservation, they should be subject
ed to efforts calculated to lead to their improve
ment and to sotening OF their savage and cruel
instincts, but their return to their old home
should be pe.sistently resisted. The secretary in
his report gives a grsphic history of these In
dams. and recites with painful vividness their
bloody deeds and the unhappy failure of the
government to manage them by peaceful means.
1t will be amazing if p4rusal o. this history
viii allow the survival of a desire of the return
of these prisoners to their reservation upon SEN
tmental or other grounds.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
Favorable Progress of the Fight Against
Polygamy in Utah.

The transactions of the Department of Justice
for the fiscal year ended June 80. 1888, are con-
tanned in the port of the encouragement, as
well as a number of valuable recommendations.
the most of which are repetitions of those pre-
vlously made, and ought to receive considera-
ton. 1t is stated In this report thar though
judgments in civil suits amounting to 1852. OIL SO
were recovered in favor of the government dur
ing the year, only the sum OF S192 9S4 collect
ed thereon; and tnat though fines, penalties and
tnrieftures were i'm nOsed amounting 10 S541,-
S09 As, only S109 GAS. 40 OF that sum was paid in
account thereof These facts may furnish an IL
lustration of the sentiment which extensively
prevails that debt due the government should
cause no inconvenience to the citizens.
1t also appears from this report that though
prior 10 March, 1885, there had been out six con-
victions in the territories of Utah and Idaho un-
der the laws of 1862 and 1882, Furnishing polyg-
amy and unlawful cohabIation as q crime, there
have been since that date nearly 600 convictions
under these laws and the statutes OF 1897 and
and yigilant execution OF hese laws, and the ad-
vance OF ideas opposed to the forbidden prac-
tees, polygamy within the United States Is vir-
tually at an end.
Suits Instituted by the government under the
provisions OF the act of March 8, 1887, for the
termination of the corporations known as the
Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company and the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
have resulted in a degree favorable to the gov

He Walked on the Water.
From the Dispatch.

A young man of 20, wearing pair of
rubber boots that reached to his Ihig hs,
walked into Steve Brodie's, on the
Bowery, at $50 last night, and an
nounced that he had walked down the
river from Albany. An hour later an
other man carrying a miniature canal
boat came in and said he had seen
him do it. The first man was G. W.
Oldrieve, who started last Monda to
walk down the Hudson for $500. The
other was P. c. Hurley, who followed
him in dingy. Oldrieve arrived at
the foot of One Hundred and Thir-
teenth Street at s o'clock, having made
the trip in six days and ten hours. On
Tuesday Oldrieve says he was nearly
run down by steamer; and in trying
to get out of the way took nasty head
er. On Wednesday the tempe nature
was about IL degrees and his shoes
were covered with ice. He consulted a
doctor at Poughkeepsie, and was adj
vised to give it up. His average prog
ress was twenty-four miles a day. He
always went with the tide.
The shoes he wore are made of cedar,
lined with brass. They are five feet
long and foot wide. Each is alright,
with space in the center for the foot.
On the bottom are three fins SO ar
ranged that when the shoe moves for
ward they are pressed up against the
bottom, and when the shoe is at rest
they hang downward like paddle wheel
brackets.
