Gen. Scho6eld. in his letter, says: There
can lie no practical disarmament OF the
Indians. except by making them actually
prisoners of war and holding them under
such restraint hat it will be impossible
Tor them TO secure arms or ammunition.
This would seem to require such a change
in the general policy followed in the
treatment of warlike tribes Of Indians as
would continue military control over those
who may have been subdued. until such
control becomes manifestedly no longer
necessary, and this. it ia suggested, may
possibly be done by the joint action
between the war and interior departments

This is the third largest cotton house in

Of action by their creditors and say they

panic, the slowness of collections and the

chief causes of the failure. The firm is

Union Pacific is All Right.

New YORK, Dec. 6.-The executive
committee of the Union Pacific railway
held a meeting in the office of Jay Gould
today. Gould said, after the meeting:
The question of considering the floating
debt OF the Union Pacific has not been
altogether the subject of the executive
committees deliberations. The Union
Pacific is all right, and the earn
lngs of the road is greater than ever.
The nature of the meeting today was
largely to discuss the advisabiliry of
calling a conference of the various rail
road presidents. The object of the con-
terence would have no other significance
than the promotion OF harmony and good
fellowship among railway officials, SO that
they would be a unit in the event of a
generalization in rates."

OcAtA. Fla Dec. 6.-The Farmers
Alliance this morning discussed the
amendments to the platform adopted yes
terday looking to restricting the powers of
the president IN diciplining editors of Al
lance newspapers. The Alliance will
listen to an address by r. V. Powderly
this afternoon.
Complaint was made that the govern
ment crop statistician relied too much
upon information furnished him by unin-
formed congrcssmen. The committee on
agricultural statistics reported processing
that a committee of five Alliance con
Rressmen make arrangements to get Stats
tics, so that the people would not be de
pendent on the reports from the govern
ment staiistIcian. They are to co operate
aith the Alliances crop statistician.
Turner said that during the Kansas
campaign Senator Ingalls, had offered
s.. 600 for a roster Of Kansas secretaries
alone. the inference being that such a
roster would largely increase in value as
the Alliance extended into other states.
Powderly addressed the Alliance dele
gates at Exposition hall this afternoon.
He advocated reform in the employment
of child labor, insisted that the govern
ment had a right to control railroads and
her made a fiery attack upon the employ
ment Of labor saving machinery as the
means of defrauding workmen of the right
to work. He was especially bitter against
all electric devices, declaring that capital
lists in their greed had even cornered
Gods wrath and compelled it to do their
bidding He denounced se~ctionalism and
said NO matter what politicians may
say, we of the two sections are together
again and together we will fight mon
oply." This sentiment brought forth
great applause.

4 USELESS STRUGGLE.

The attack on Parnell at Ballinakill
Tuesday was cowardly i'll the extreme.
Parnell and Davitt had both been speak
ing and party spirit was running at Hood
tide. After a battle with clubs at this
place by the opposing faction, Parnell
and his party drove to Castle Corner,
quickly followed by Davitt and his party.
Here Davitt and Parnell both began to
address the crowd, when some of the
Davitt party began throwing small bags
filed with lime, Harringtons shoulders
were covered with it, and Parnell was
struck fair in the face, his eyes being
filed with lime. This caked under his
eyelids and the local doctor was unable
to remove it. Parnell was hurried to
town and the lime WAS removed. He
suffered intense pain but bore it bravely.
His physician says his eyesight will not
be injured.
The part of wisdom would suggest that
the battle is lost, and the struggle useless.
Parnell must realize that he is bowled
down and out; that he can never hope to
again lead the Home rule party for the
reason that for the next twenty years
there will be no Home rule party. There
is nothing to be gained, nothing to be
lost, and but one thing remains for Par
nell and that is to marry Mrs. O'Shea
and finish his days in the retirement thai
act would give him. He has lost all fol
her; she has lost all for him. Shut ou
from the Eden of society by their Owl
acts, they should, like Adam and Eve
console and comfort each other i'll TIN
little world of their own.

MONUMENTAL EGOTISM.

Politics makes strange bedfellows, it
also illustrates the abundant and various
quantities of American gall. The legis-
lature in Idaho is in session and ballot
ing for U. S. senator is going on. The
candidates are fighting one another of
course, but the extreme cheek is exhib-
tied by two of them proposing to the
other two to arrange the manner and
form in which the Idaho legislature
should make unhampered choice be-
tween them. They assume that two OF
the four must be elected, and imply that
the legislature must elect them. Time
was when the average American legisla-
tor would have ut once dropped the
whole four and hunted a new piece OF
timber, but legislators nowadays are
not built that way. Party service, party
expediency have their effect, and the
battle is not to the strong or the race to
the swift. Messers. Claggett and Nc
Council are both well known to us and
both excellent gentlemen, but their po-
sition on the senatorial question entities

THE ASSESSMENT LAWS.

Our friend Mr.. Hugh Gourlay has
written several very able articles re-
Gently concerning the assessment laws,
his last being perhaps the best. As far
as the argument goes it is well made,
and there can be no doubt but that the
system proposed by him would discover
credits, and would remedy the evil of
returning fraudulent debts. The main
point, and the particular objection to
the mortgage tax law, however, escapes
him. And that is that the creditor COM
pels the debtor to pay the tax, not di-
rectly perhaps, but i'll the shape of a
bonus at the time the debt is created,
or in some other way the debtor is sad
died with the payment of the tax, and
so pays taxes not only on what he owns
but what he owes. Mr.. Gourlay has
studied the subject thoroughly and we
should be pleased to hear his opinion
concerning that principal point.

present natural one which has covered

Yesterdays dispatches state that the
contest for the United States senate in
Idaho has been settled; that Shoup and
Mcconnell will be elected. and that Du-
Bois will then be elected for the long
term. Claggett, by far the ablest man
of them all, will be left in the shade.
Mcconnell, having formed an alliance
with Claggett, has deserted him and
gone over to the enemy, making terms
for himself and leaving his former COM
rade in the cold. 1t is not the correct
thing among friends, but politics are al
lowed to cover multitude of sins, and
they generally do.
