PINE RIDGE AGENCY, DAK., June 20.-The
books were opened again yesterday morning
for those Indians who desired to register in
favor of the Sioux bill. A few did SO, but the
average was small as compared with the second
day at Rosebud. Red Cloud and Little Wound

which the former declared his unalterable op-
position to the bill.

The commission also held a council with the

industrious. The speeches generally were in
favor of the bill.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The entire family of
Luther s. Dickle, consisting of his wife and six
children, living at 270 Warren avenue, were
completely prostrated yesterday by sickness,
closely resembling poisoning. One of the chill
dren, Alice, aged nine years, is beyond recov-
cry, and but little hope is entertained for the
others-Jennie, aged eighteen; Nellie, aged
fourteen; Luther, aged seven, and Bessie and
Maud twins aged about 6ve-and-a-half years.
Tuesday evening all Of the children and the
mother partook freely at supper of raspberries,
which had been purchased of a street peddler
A few hours later Alice was taken suddenly ill,
purging and vomiting and exhibiting all symp-
toms Of poisoning. A little later the entire
family succumbed to the same mysterious sick
ness. Physicians finally decided the sickness
was due to plomains or food fermentation.

ITALY AND THE ALLIANCE.

The leading article in "The Contemporary
Review for this month has attracted general
attention in England and Europe since it has
been openly attributed to Mr.. Gladstone. While
it is weighty argument against recent Italian
policy in connection with the Triple Alliance
and resembles in style that Stateemans char
acteristic literary work, it is not probable that
he is the responsible author of such caustc
structures upon the diplomatic measures of King
Humbert's Ministers. Mr.. Gladstone has COM
mtted indiscretions of similar nature before,
notably his contemptuous references to the Aus
TRAN Government which involved the necessity
for Illuminating disclaimers and apologies after
his accession TO power i'll 1880; but he has
never gone to the lengths reached in this article.
1t is hardly credible that the leader of Her
Nlajesty's Opposition. who may become Premier
next year or the year after has deliberately
affronted a friendly Power by describing its
appearance in the Triple Alliance as " no better
than a gigantic piece of political tOmfOolery
which is SO strange as to be grotesque, and
which would even be comic if it were not ruin
Gus" Language SO disdainful could never be
explained away by a British Prime Minister,
and we cannot believe that the Liberal leader
has been guilty of so ineXcusable an indiscre-
ton. 1t is probable that the anonymous article
in question has been written by one of his DO
litical followers who has uncOnscouSly initiated
his literary methods and incorporated his we'll
known views Of the tendencies of European
diplomacy
The general argument Of "Outidanos'' in
wolves formidable indictment of the whole
course of recent European diplomacy to which
Prince Bismarck has given form and direc-
ton. The so-called league of peace is described
as the announcement of the strong and rather
early likelihood VI an agOnizing war rather than
the outward sign of a settled tranquility and
the position is taken that the Triple Alliance
unlike the coalitions of 1919 and 1863. does
not possess the commanding weight of moral
authority nor preclude the formation by Russia
and France Of counter-alliance with a DOS
sibility of success. These assumptions seem 10
us to be fully warranted by close and dis
passionate study of the present condition Of
Europe, ali the probabilities pointing 10 a gem
eral war soon after Prince Bismalcks death
His personal authority will suffice while he lives
to prevent an outbreak of hostiities but his
disappearance from the scene will be a signal
for titanic conflict. The wa powers which have
been accumulated and stored under the general
policy of ornaments and mlitarism can hardly
be controlled by any other statesmans hand.
When the crisis comes Italy will find it to her

POSTAL REEORM.S.

BY coincidence that is worthy Of note, ar
tcles on the subject Of postal reform appear
simultaneously in the October issues OF 1.-THE
Forum and "The North American Review"
Each of the writeIS-eX-P Postmaster G eneral
James and eXPostmaster- General Dickinson
may be fairly considered an expert on the TOPIC
of which he treats, though neither of them held
the Office Of PostmaSter-G General for a great
length of time. Still, Mr.. James carried TO it
the fruits of his long experience in the New
York POstOffice, while Mr.. Dickinson had no
personal knowledge of postal matters when he
accepted portfolio at the hands of President
Cleveland. 1t is interesting to compare their
views on the necessity Of changes in our postal
system; the more so as they discuss the matter
from different points of view and do not cover
the same ground in detail.
Mr.. James is confident that much would he
gained by adopting the English idea Of COM
sodating small rural Offices; that is. Inv pnt
ting several Of these under the control Of the
postmaster in some considerable village and
having clerks to look after the business in the
several neighborhoods. He thinks that the
railway mail service has refrigerated in the
last four or five years and needs to he thor
oughly reformed. In spite of the strong senti-
ment which has shown itself in favor Of one
cent poStage-this constitutes one plank Of tbe
Republican National platform of last year-NIr.
James believes that the domestic rates are low
enough. but that cheaper ocean postage il i'm
peratively needed. There should be. in his
opinion, no limit to the amount for which p
money-older is issued. lie is opposed 10 the
parcels post and questions the wisdom of re-
curing the Government to become common
carrier Of merchandise. His conclusion is that
no great or lasting reform in the postal service
can be accomplished until the service is wholly
divorced from politics and run on business prin-
cipleS
Mr.. Dickinson devotes himself to two points.
which he makes with considerable force and
supports with ample citations from competent
authorities lie maintains, first, that the postal
system has wholly outgrown the conditions and
necessities which existed when it was estab.
lished, and that a thorough readjustment is
needed. His second suggestion relates to the
necessity Of revision of the legsla L On on the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-10-13

subject of carrying mails and the fuller exer-
else of the power of Congress over their trans
portation. The postal business as he says, has
direct relation to and bearing upon every citizen
in every part of the country, and yet he clearly
points out that there is no Judgment of original
and general power near the people served, and
no direct responsibility to the people save from
the Postmaster General through the President.
While not declaring himself in favor Of a
postmaster-G eneral for each State, Mr.. Dick
inson claims that there should be territorial
divisions, the heads of which should possess the
powers vested in the Postmaster-G eneral, ex-
cept those relating to the more general interests
Of the country at large. The absurdity of the
relations existing between the Government and
the railroads is plainly shown by the fact that,
under the present laws, if the Post master-Gen-
eraI is unable to make contract with a rail-
way company for the carriage of mails, or If a
company refuses to fulfil its contract, the only
alternative open to the head Of the Postofiice
Department is to forward them "by horse-ex
press or otherwise! There is no way of com
pelling a company to perform its contract save
by withholding the sum due it for work already
done. Mr.. Dickinson shows that Congress pos
sesses ample power to remedy this primitive
state Of things.
Mr.. Dickinson, it will be SEEN deals with
Postal reform in large and comprehensive
way. and his argument in favor of wiping out
antiquated methods and adopting ideas in
keeping with the progressive spirit Of the age
is sound. THE TRIBUNE believes that the sense
of the people is in favor of one-cent postage,
and though we do not agree with Mr. James
on this point, some Of his suggestions-aS, for
instance, cheaper ocean postage-are thoroughly
practical. The reform in the Railway Mail Ser
vice. which was badly demoralized during Mr..
Cleveland's term, is already well under way and
will be fastened by the extension of the Civil
Service rules to that branch of the postal bust
ness. II is evident that though our postal ar
engagements on the whole serve the people well,
there is ndoubted room for Improvements.

advantage to be fully armed and prepared ior
war by coalition with the central mhtary
empires of Europe. Such combination may
be irrational, as "Outidanos" asserts since
sound Italian policy would tend to promote cor
dial relations with France rather than hostile
combinations and antagonisms grounded upon
the riyalries of Russia and Austria in South
eastern Europe but when the inevitable cam
paign opens national pride and prestige will
demand active participation in the clash OF
ornaments What this rash author hastily de-
nounces as tomfoolery" is Italian conformity
with the organized folly of Bismarcklan arma-
ments-tbe wasteful and insane policy Of mod

BOSTON SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Boston, Oct. IL (specisD.-A far more interesting
and promising circumstance in connection with ue
ninth season of the Boston symphony ORCHESTRA than

and augury of the brightest kind for the concerns
that are to follow Boston is to be envied the posses

Of such conductor MIR. Nikisch conducts wltiou'

IL is desirable that there should be speedy
hearing and decision of the appeal IN the
Kemmler case. The General Term Judges are
willing to listen TO the arguments as early as
next Thursday The case is certain to 60 to
the Court of Appeals in any event, and there
is no reason why the General Term should not
dispose of it promptly. The fate of all the
murderers awaiting trial in the State hinges to
a certain extent upon the decision in this case
which therefore ought not to be withheld any
longer than is really necessary.
