INDIAN STATEHOOD.

The latest proposition for solution
of the Indian problem is to give them
statehood, and to invest them with all
the privileges and dignities of Ameri-
can citizenship. 1t is furthermore as
serted that this plan is being seriously
considered by the authorities at WASH
ington and that it may be submitted to
congress. The plan has one merit, at
least-that of relieving the government
of all responsibility of future guardian
ship of wards who have been a source
of infinite trouble in the past. Yet it is
question whether, by the removal Of
this responsibility. the government will
not incur odium for deserving tine In
dams to fate that will be worse than
the one they now endure. There are a
few tribes of Indians who are qualified
for seif-government. The Indians on
the Sisseton reservation, in Eastern
Dakota, are a notable example.
They have established a local GOV
ernmcnt of their own, which is
a model in its way, and which
has operated most successfully.
Some of the Cherokee Indians have like
wise approached high state of civiliza-
ton, and are capable Of governing them
selves. But the great bulk of the In
dians would be in wofully helpless
condition if deprived Of the guardian
ship of the federal government. In
most cases, il their reservations were
converted into states, and the Indians
had conferred upon item the dignity
of citizenship, it would he like putting

would the Indian state be admitted into
the Union than the white men would

Indians would be crowded out; or. il
they attempted to bold their own, a race
war would inevitably ensue. OF all the
proposed solutions for the Indian prob
lem, this one has less of the element of

THE HAN PEK" JEWEL.
Valu able Gift to the Smithsonian
Institution.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Chinese
minister has made valuable gift to
the regents of the Smithsonian institu
ton. Ensconced in beautiful gold
plush case is ''jade" ring about ten
inches in diameter and one-eighth Of an
iuch in thickness. 1t has hollow cen
ter about four inches in diameter. The
face of the ring has ornamental spots.
and its back is quite smooth. 1t is of
pale pea hue, though it was originally
of cream color. Upon it is a cream
colored spot about the size of ten-cent
piece, which if continuously rubbed
with a piece of silk will grow in size.
This ring is known as the ''Han PEEK"
jewel of the dynasty of Han, who
reigned about $500 years ago. In the
dynasty the court officials, when having
an audience with the emperor, held
this ring with both hands, thrusting
their fingers into the opening, and
guarding against moving their hands
while addressing the throne. 1t was
used as all emblem of submission or
respect for their sovereign. 1t had
been buried with its owner, was un-
earthed from the sepulcher recently,
and is considered very valuable.

ADMINISTRATION HYPOCRISY

Either the president is being grossly
deceived ana imposed upon by those
under him, or his professions in regard
to civil service reform and business
principles are sheer hypocrisy. There
has been no precedent for the wholesale
way in which Democrats have been
fired out of the postal service; and the
claim that it has any other object than
to find places to reward partisans is
shown to be a fabrication. 1t is not
true that the changes are made to re-
store efficient persons removed by the
Democrats. An examination shows
that but a small proportion are old
clerks restored For instance, out of
twenty-seven appointed in Philadelphia,
but five were former incumbents. The
twenty-five were green hands, who had
to be instructed in their duties by DEM
ocrats. In one case, where railway
mail clerk was discharged after having
been graded 81 out of possible 100, he
asked the reason, and General Super
intendent BELL replied that the reasons
were of a political nature solely. That
is true in nearly all the cases.

In the vicinity of Eighth and Mime

several revolver shots in quick success

men, each running in different direc-

In another instant the third
shot was heard and the fash

point of revolver, he cutfed them off
to the police station, where all three

INEQUALITY OF WEALTH.

The next census, it is believed, will
show the per capita wealth of the coun-
try to be nearly double the figures OF
1860, when it was s514. The wealth Of
the country accumulates faster than the
population grows, but il the data could
be had it would no doubt be found that
the masses of the people have not ma
terially added to their possessions. The
few have become enormously wealthy,
In 1860 millionaires were curiOsitieS. It
was easy to enumerate them. Now
they are so common that even tax as
SCISSORS are able to find some Of them.
The marvellous development Of the
country has afforded opportunities for
some to make great gains, and the poll
cies of the government have all been In
the interest Of the moneyed classes. 1t

wealth of the country INTO the hands of

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

The formal opeding of the new court
house and city hall to-day will mark an
epoch in the history of st. Paul and
of Ramsey county. The magnificent
structure is one of which any commu-
nifty might be proud, for but few cities
can boast of larger or more ornamental
public building. But the main signlfl-
canoe which attaches to the dedicatory
ceremonies to-day is that the city has
reached that stage in its rapid growth
and development that such an edlfice
has become public necessity. 1t seems
but yesterday to- many of our inhabitants
when the old court house and the Old
city hall were erected. They remember
that they thought at the time that the
city and county were erecting public
buildings that would be ample for all
public purposes and necessities long
after their day and generation. Yet in
a space of time that seems to them but
a hand-breadth they have seen st. Paul
rise into a great metropolis, and among
the requirements of its progress one OF
the most important was new city hall
and court house commensurate With
the public business. Now we have it.
To-day it will be formally opened and
occupied by the county and city officials.
And, unlike most public buildings, it is
an honest job. Every dollar appro-
priated for it has gone into it.

New BRUNSWICK, n. j., May s.
Last night and this morning a fatal
riot occurred at the Sayerville brick
yards, five miles below this city.
Agent E. p. Hendrickson, with
100 men, started last night to
put in a spur from the
main line of the Raritan river railroad
across the land Of ex-Freeholder Ed
ward Furman down through the brick
yards to William. F. Fish
er's yard. Furman was opposed
to their crossing his land,
and called out his men. The
railroad men were reinforced by brick
yard men favorable to the railroad,
until 500 men were engaged in the fight
by midnight Furman's men attacked
the railrOaders and burned the ties,
material and car. Pistols, clubs and
stones were freely used. George Kis-
senger, one of Furman's lab0rers, was
killed outright. He was knocked down
with club, and sharp-pointed crow
bar was jammed through his head,
John Kennedy, railroad man from
oOulA hhiDO9s was cO OouiS
that he died i'm an hour. At o'clock
this morning Sheriff Flick. of Middle
sex county, called out posse of fifty
men and went to the scene. When they
reached the place all was quiet, and
the railroad men had stopped work to
recruit their forces. The Raritan River
railroad is a new enterprise. running
from South Amboy to Bound Brook.
Gen. E. T. Ripley, of New York, is pres
ident. Furman complains that
the company is crossing his
land without his consent. which
the company claims he had given. Up
to 6 O'Clock this evening all was quiet,
but the railroad men, who are en-
camped i'm the woods near the disputed
spot, are being heavily reinforced from
all along the line. and trouble is ex-
pected tonight, as both parties are de-
termlned.

NOT WORTH THE CANDLE.
Civil War Over the
Death of a Desperate.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 5.-Information
comes from New Orleans to the effect
that Vernon, sparsely settled parish on
the border of Texas, appears OH the eve
of civil war, aud much blood may
flow. Two years ago A. D. Lytes, a
Texas desperate, who, it was charged,
had been driven from that state for cat
tie stealing. settled in Vernon parish
and engaged in stock dealing. He al
ways went heavily armed and inclined
to murderous aggressiveness. He was
said to have struck several par
ties with his rifle and deliber-
ately stepped upon the toes of men
while entering stores. So odiOus did he
become that one night recently he was
filled with buckshot and left dead Oh
bridge six miles from Leesburg.
This killing was the beginning of
trouble. The editor of The Peoples
Friend attacked State Senator E. E.
Smart, prosperous and influential
citizen, accusing him of the crime and
demanding punishment. The Vernon
News defended the senator. The parish
speedily divided into factions, the
old element supporting the News, and
the border ruffians the Friend. Sorrell,
the editor of the latter, has made him
self very aggressive, and it is feared he
will be killed. If such an event occurs
the two factions will fight with bloody
results.

an Extra Session Called
This Fall.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Sunday
Herald has this complaint to make
about the treatment of the senate COM
mittee at the centennial: ''With great
flourish of trumpets the committee on
the centennial celebration OF the inau-
guration of George Washington as presl-
dent of the United States sent to the
senate of the United States, one year in
advance of the date fixed for the cele-
bration. an urgent invitation to particl-
pate in the celebration. In due course
the senate accepted the invitation, and
appointed "a committee of seven MEM
bers to attend the celebration. and, with
such other senators as may be then
present in New York, represent the
senate thereat.' This committee COM
prised the leading enatOrs-Ingalls, the
president pro tempore; Sherman,
Dawes, Allison, Cullom, Hampton, Eus-
tbs and Colquitt, and the representation
of the senate was completed by the
presence of the secretary, Arson G.
McCOok; the sergeant-at-arms. w. P.
Canaday, and the deputy sergeant-at-
arms, Frank NJ. Evans. Their expert
ences can be briefly summed up in the
statement that they received
VIRTUALLY NO ATTENTION
on the part of the committees whose
duty it was to attend to their comfort,
convenience and proper entertainment.
The committee representing the most
distinguished of all legislative bodies
was allowed to shift for itself in the
main, with possibly the single excep-
ton OF the banquet, at which it's pres
ence was provided for in accordance
with the proprieties Of the occasion,
and with due regard to its high repre-
sentatiue status. But there was virtu-
ally no other preparation made for these
distinguished senatorial guests. They
got their own carriages, took 'Hobson's
choice of hotel accommodations, were
stored away in inside rooms at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, and. finding that they
were not provided with accommodations
on any of the steamers to witness the
great naval procession in the harbor,
they obtained, by special telegraphic
order from the secretary Of the treasury.
the United States revenue cutter Grant,
and were thus enabled to witness the
grandest demonstration of its kind that
ever was made in this country"

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION.

In the May plumber of the Forum Mr..
GoDkIN discusses the Southern queS-
ton in way that must commend itself
to the intelligent men of all parties.
Although Northern man and Re-
publican, he evidently aims to view the
question impartially, and to arrive at
only such conclusions as are just both
to the white and colored people of the
Southern states. He is satisfied that in
resisting negro supremacy in their state
governments the people of South Caro-
lima and Mississippi are not resisting
simply under the influence of that
vague fear of mob rule which plays so
large part in the conservative gospel
of other countries. Having had the ex-
pertinent of negro rule during the re-
construction era. they are resisting
the restoration of regime which
they intelligently believe would not
only prevent industrial progress,
but put their civilization itself in
some peril. He is further satisfied
that to protect themselves from
this danger they are cheating the col
ored voters, and are subjecting them
selves to the immense humiliation
which lies in gaining the state by fraud
at every election. He is, Furthermore,
of opinion that the white people of
South Carolina and Mississippi are
doing precisely what the white people
of New York and Massachusetts would
do under similar circumstances. The
whole history of the Anglo-Saxon race
warrants the belief that the white man
viii. never sacrifice himself or his prop
erty to his reverence for the ballot.
That the condition OF political affairs
in some of the Southern states is UNI
American is one conclusion that Mr..
GoDKIN arrives at. II the federal gov
rnment undertake to correct it by
placing soldiers at every polling place.
that such plan would likewise be I'M
American, is another conclusion Mr..
GoDKIN reaches. Laws evolved by
ignorance under the protection of bayo-
nets would not be American laws.
And, inasmuch as nothing can save
voters independence except his own
character and understanding, Mr.. GOD-
KIN is persuaded that nothing but edu-
cation will make the negro free voter
in the American sense of the term.
And upon investigating what the South
ern states have done and are doing for
the establishment of free schools, he is
surprised to find that they are doing
more in this field than the Northern
states to make the corruption and In
timidation OF voters difficult OF impos-
sible.
