THE INDIAN WAR.

The promised pacific conclusion Of the
turmoil with the Sioux has not been
realized. Blood has been shed, the In
dians the aggreSsors, and terrible retri-
button is pursuing them. With the
knowledge had of the Indian nature, it
would seem from the accounts that
greater precaution should have bee
had in an effort at disarmament. This
would naturally be eXasDerating, and
might be apprehended to lead to vio
lence. That resistance would be futile
and result in disaster to the aggreSsorS
would be apparent to rational and re-
fecting men, but could not be assumed
as sufficient to deter the desperate
and infiamed red men. That the
outbreak was masked and treacherous
was but additional illustration of the In
dian nature. Still, 1t was the Immediate
effect Of sudden heat rather than of de-
libera1e plan, as was apparent in the
reckleSSneSS of the assault in the pres
ence of much larger body of troops

the race. They invited the destruction

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 30.-A ter
rible story of suffering is told by the
sole survivor of the crew of eight men
of the schooner Lucinda G. Potter,
bound from Boston to Norfolk, which
capsized Sunday off Barnegat. Five
men were probably drowned at once;
three were able TO gain lOdgment on a
portion of the vessels house, but two of
them died from exposure. The sole sur
vivor was picked up by men from the
schooner A. d. Lamson, and brought to
this port to-day. Capt. Smith, of the
Lamson, says that about 8 O'Clock

owing to the fury of the wind, he could
not be certain. He finally determined
to launch boat, of which Mate Smith,
his son, took charge, and which, after
most wearisome rowing, came within
sight of a vessel which proved to be the
Potter. Pulling closer, they found
themselves alongside the upper portion
of the vessels house, on which were
three men. Capt Evans and two of his
sailors. One of the men was dead, and
the other two were scarcely more than
alive. They were taken into the life

were so benumbed by cold and exposure
that it was extremely difficult to loosen

done for the comfort of the suffering
men, but half an hour after arriving on
board, Capt. Evans died. The other
man, whose name is Charles Walltn-

THE RAILROAD PRoBLEM.

Prof. HADLEY, of Yale college, COM
pleted last night course of four lee
lures which lie has been delivering on
Railroads." in the public library in
Minneapolis. Prof. HADLEY has, by
way Of banter, been introduced of late
as the most prominent theoretical rail-
road man in America since the death of
the late CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
There are some people who say that
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS is not dead.
But even the most faithful believer
allows that he is sleeping.
Prof. HADLEY's work thus far has,
we take it, been entirely that of collat-
ing. digeSting and criticising the railroad
problem. He has never held any posi-
ton connected with railroad manage
ment. He has written a book or two on
the subject. and has by public lectures
and instruction to large classes of I'M
dergraduate and graduate students given
to the world the results of his inveStiga-
tions. His appearance in this part of
the country, where the subject OF his de-
partment is so much debated, is timely.
The agitation of the railroad question
is very profitable matter, and we well
come discussion because there is the ut
most room for it. Along with the tariff
and the money problem, it is the most
important issue of the age. We are not
going to arrive at anything like salts
factory solution of it during our genera
ton. Itis too new, too vast and too
many sided. Probably, for that matter,
like every other branch of law-for it is
nfl lot r ill
completely solved. But we have to do
what we can with the matter. We can
not sit still. 1t is better to do some
thing, even though we make mistakes.
Modern antiseptic surgery is built upon
the dead bodies of the men slain by the
older methods. So while we are trying
to cure malady or two in the railroad
world we may hurt somebody, but we
shall learn something at the same time.
The sort of information Prof. HADLEY
has been giving in his lectures is valu-
able in this connection, because it di-
reefs our efforts by increasing our
knowledge.
We notice that a great many laws
will be introduced in the next legisla-
ture for the regulation of railroad traffic.
These Will lead to good deal of dis
cussion, and if our legislators equip
themselves properly we may be able to
formulate, from what they say, the gen.
erai grounds of popular dissatisfaction
with existing railroad management in
| Minnesota. We hope that if any laws
On the subject are actually enacted,
| there will be among them one which
will compel the railroads to give greater
publicity to the details of their manage
| ment and IFS results than they do at
| present. If this can be accomplished
| we shall diminish the secret. mystical
| character which now eleaks the ques-
| ton on the railroads side. When we
know what the people are complaining
| about and what the roads themselves
are doing and can do, we may be able

OUR NEXT GRAND JURY.

The pulse of the metropolitan press
has been throbbing quite feverishly of
late because Mayor GRANT, of New
York. has named Hon. .'PAT" DIVER
as one of the city's police justices. Peo-
pie say that the new judge has been a
tough and friend and associate of the
criminal classes all his life, and they
claim that his familiarity with crime
has untitled him for appreciating its
enOrmity. Mayor GRANTS point of
view probably is that a man cannot
know too much about the commodity he
has to dea. with.
In st. Paul we do things differently
our judges are always above suspicion.
and when we select grand jury there
is never one among them who could not
don the gowns of CESAR'S wife without
asking tnat so much as frill or
tlounce be altered. Witness the grand
jury summoned for the first Monday in
January next. Not even as good shot
as DAVID could accomplish anything
by casting stones at them, and yet we
warrant that they will deal with crime
in way that will make all the ''PAT"
DIVERS In the world seem like ap-
prenticeS at the craft.
We suggest that they divide them
selves into committees of one for the
investigation of the various branches
of sin.
If there is anything rotten in our city
government we, for our part. are will
ing to leave its finding out to him who
lays down the law so vigorously to
the chamber of commerce on Monday
mornings, JOSEPH JUsTINIAN Nc
CARDY. and we see that he is to be on
the next grand jury.
Sois CHARLES PHARMACoPIA MOVES.
If there are any wicked druggists in this
town who, under the guise of selling
soda water, are running blind pigs to
their own profit and at the expense of
their customers souls, he ought to be
able to learn about it.
There is some complaint that the
board of education is issuing too many
bonds and certificates of Indebtedness.
EMERSON WHEREWITHALL PEET, we
understand, has heretofore bought all
that have been offered, and he can tell
his fellow jurymen whether the supply
is greater than the de mand. That is
the economic law which regulates the
negotiation of an individuals promiS-
sorry notes, and we presume that it ap-
plies also in the case of municipalities.
We congratulate the county, our new
County attorney and the jurymen them
selves on the personnel of our next grand
jury. In addition to their other good
qualities they are all clubable men. and
will enjoy thems Alyes as they do their
duty. They might hold their sessions
at the Minnesota club, and put down
crime and some other things, which are
pleasanter, at the same time.

PRESIDENT DWIGHT OF YALE

A very informal reception was held
Yesterday afternoon at the chamber of
commerce in honor of President TIM
oTHY DWIGHT, of Yale university.
President DWIGHT is spending the
Christmas recess in going from one
Yale center to another, greeting the
alumni and giving them news of their
Alma Mater. There are no two cities
of their size in the country where there
are more graduates of Yale college than
st. Paul and Minneapolis. Among the
older men in st. Paul there are Judge
NELSON and JOHN B. BRIsBIN, and in
Minneapolis S. c. GALE and ISAAC
ATwATER. OF men of younger gen.
Grafton there is great number in
either place, many of whom are promi-
nent and influential in their different
departments. The representatives of
the two cities among the undergradu-
ates at Yale are probably more numer-
Gus than those at all the other Eastern
colleges combined, and it is matter
worthy of comment that they hold high
positions among their fellows. Some of
the most priced literary and scholastic
honors have been carried off in recent
years by men from the Twin Cities, and
out of the twenty-five members of the
university and freshman football teams
this year no fewer than five hailed from
st. Paul or Minneapolis.

man in the neighborhood of fifty years
of age who looks dozen or fifteen
years older. His reputation as schol-
ar is based on his work In ecclesiastical

FALLING WALLS.
A Number of WorI1men Crushed
in the Collapse OF Brewery.

New YORK. Dec. 30.-ThiS afternoon
the roof of the fiye-story building Oh the
northwest corner of Twenty-ninti street
and First avenue, fell in with great
crash. There were half hundred men
at work, transforming the building into
an annex to the brewery of H. Koehler
u Co., Tor the storage of ice and beer.
For the protection of the men from the
cold aud snow, the fiat roof was left, bet
cut loose from the walls, it hung propped
up by immense center posts like huge
open umbrella above the building. No
one may ever know just what caused the
collapse. Whatever Il was. suddenly,
without note of warning, the roof
over the south half of the building
caved in. 1t caved in precisely as one
folds an umbrella-with a jerk. The
roof beams fell everywhere-at the
ends first; last at the center pole. In
In the general wreck the posts gave
way, too. and all above the second story
fell in one great general smash, the two
hanging floors above, with the rest,
down upon the iron beams and brick
arches that bore the second floor. As
the ambulance came tearing up and the
firemen raced down the street and ave-
hue, there came forth from amid the
cloud of dust rising from the wreck one
scared, white face after another. some
besmeared with blood, more smudged
and blinded by dirt and dust,
until nearly the whole troop were
gathered in the street. A few

met by the firemen, painfully bent and
crippled, yet with strength to crawl.
One slid down guy rope, hand over

IGNATIUs DoNNELLy.

IGNATIUS DoNNEILY has been in
town for the past day or two, and SO
have his dearest friends and his worst
enemies. A few years ago somebody
said that Minnesota had in her political
arena the three most picturesque char
acters OF contemporary American his
tory. One was a Democrat and came
from Minneapolis. That was DR.. AMEs.
One was Republican and lived in st.
Paul. That was ALBERT SCHEFFER.
The third belonged to no party and to
all parties. and the whole world was
his home. That was IGNATIUS Don
NELLY. 1t would not be accurate to
class these three men together for any
other purpose. but they all have in
common the merit of being interesting.
Some people have compared lGNATIUs
DoNNELLY to CICERO. They say that
he is great talker, but when il comes
to action he is weak. This is entirely
wrong and unfair. DoNNELI.Y is like
CICERO in his vanity, but vanity is
characteristic of genius. When it
comes to talking, however, CICERO is
not to be named with DoNNEILY.
CICERO was wordy, prosy, ornate and
elaborate. DoNNELLY Seintillates with
the rarest of prismatic brilliancy; he is
as witty as LUCIFER. who made the
angels laugh around the CLASSY sea; he
is as fluent as an Itasca county brook
stream on July day; he is as original
and as full of joyous surprises. terrify-
ing abysses and overshadowing SUBMITS
as are the Peruvian Andes. IGNATIUs
DoNNELLY is a great orator.
DONNELLY is not like CICERO in action,
either. CESAR and PoNIPEY and MARK
ANTONY and other ward politicians of
ancient Rome snubbed CICERO and
made him whimper. Finally he got to
be such bore that they cut off his
head, or some other vital part of him.
just fancy anybody'S snubbing IGNA-
TITUS DoNNELLY. Who ever heard I6-
NAT1Us DoNNELLIY whimper9 Who in
the whole wide world would dare say
that he has ever been anything but in
tereSting and effective? He is as earnest
and persistent as CHARLES STEWART
PARNELL. He can exist without polit-
ical pabulum as long as SUcCI went
without food, if he is to gain anything
by it, and then, after long fast of wait
ing and postponing, come up smiling,
sleek and fat as though he had been all
the while fattening on the fees oe the
fattest Office in Ramsey or Hennepin
counties. He is as steadfast and brave
in defeat and disaster as MARCUS
AURELIUs. He is as industrious and
many-sided as WILLIAM EwART GLAD
STONE. He can thrust and parry With
the grace of an ORLANDO. He is as
subtle as JAY GOULD, as masterful as
THOMAS 3. REED, as crafty as MACCHI-
AvELLI. DoNNELLY is not at all like
CICERO in action. He is an amazing
man.
IGNATIUs DoNNELLY can do every
thing, except keep silent occasionally.
He ought to study the memoirs of

hold his tongue, and who, after time,
became president.

ship in the college for good many
years. His personal appearance and
manner suggest the student, but he is
well known in the East as a charming
social companion, and witty after
dinner speaker. Since he has been
president of the university he has de-
voted all OF his time to its interests and
increased by his efforts the size of its
classes, the number and beauty of Its
buildings, and the wealth of its endow-
mentS.
Yale college has always insisted that
its presidents should be, first of all,
scholars. 1t believes that nothing is so
important as that the head of an insti-
tuition of learning should be conspicu-
onsly learned himself. Anybody who has
gone through college training knows
that the largest part of its intellectual
value is the opportunity it affords one
to live in an atmosphere of thought and
In the society and presence of men who
have achieved great things in letters
and science. The mere presence of a
man like Prof. WHITNEY in city like
New Haven is an inspiration and stim-
ulus even to those students who never
hear his voice. 1t is on this principle
that the successive presidents of Yale,
like the elder DWIGHT. THEODORE ID.
WooLsEY, NOAH PORTER and the pres
ent incuDent, have been selected. They
are all eminent in their lines of re-
search. The work of a modern college

mere scholarship will not fill the
bill, and Yale has sometimes suffered
because the men at her head have
not also been men of affairs. In Presi-
