EDITORIAL NOTES.

Two ocean steamers have recently had
very narr0N escapes from being sunk as
Inc result of collisions with icebergs The
Hamburg line steamship Normania on
her maiden voyage to New York colided
with an iceberg, smashing five plates, and
only ayerting a more serious catastrophe by
the timely operation of the twin-screws,
which swung the ship around in time to
prevent her running full tilt into the crys-
tai mass The Thingvalla. with $50 souls
aboard, on May 18th, struck gigantic foe,
and had about eighteen feet of her iron
stem crushed in. Both of these mishapS
occurred during dense fOgs.
The Fifty-frst Congress has remarkable
record in the number of changes made in
the roll of members since it met in Decem-
Der. There are now sitting in the House
nineteen members who were not declared
elected to it in the election of 1888, and two
vacancies are still to be filed, owing to the
death of Representative Wilbur of New
York and the promotion of Carlisle to the
Senate. This number is to be further in
creased by the probable action of the House
on the three remaining contested election
cases. the Committee on Elections having
reported in favor of the contestants.
The right of the State to require the vac
cinatioD of children before admitting them
to the public schools has been affirmed by
the Supreme Court Commissioners. The
efficacy of Jenner's method of preventing
the spread of smallpox was recently strik-
iDgly exemplified by the experience of the
members of Stanley's expedition, an cpl
demic playing sad havoc with number of
his followers who refused to submit to vac
ciuation, while nearly all who did passed
through the trying experience with little or
no sickness.
Assistant Postmaster-G General Clarkson is
about to make a tour of the Pacific Coast to
obtain a thorough knowledge of its postal
needs. His belief that the far West is
entitled 10 better postal facilities is shared
by the merchants of San Francisco and
Portland, whose business was badly de-
moralized at times during the past winter.
James Y. Culeman's followers, it is
asserted in political circles, are in fair
way to join the threatened revolt in the
Democratic party against Boss Buckley's
slate for the State campaign.

Is'he Nations Promise Worth the X eep-

The House committee on Indian affairs
has reported favoraby upon the proposal
to remove the Utes of Colorado 70 fresh
lands in Utah. Their reservation in Col
orado is strip of country 40 miles long
by 10 wide, watered by eight rivers and
several small streams, and containing good
farming lands much coveted by their white
neighbors. The land in Utah is mountain
Gus and poor, furnished with wild game
but giving no chance of cultivation On it
they would be exposed to continual attacks
from COW boys, Mormons and other unprin-
cipled whites The strip in Colorado. the
remainder of the original reservation of
the Utes, was guaranteed 10 them in 1880
In that year the government in its compact
with them, which was ratified by Congress-
promised them an abundance of good agri
cultural land in severalty, farming tools
horses, cattle, mills and schools, and their
share of perpetual annuities previously
granted
Have any Of these promises been kept
No agert has ever been provided with
means To carry them out In 1888 five In
dams were furnished with seeds and imple
ments In 1886 one school house was
opened, house so poorly built that in 1889
its walls had to be propped up with poles.
This is all that has been done. The land
has never been divided in severalty. and
now the proposal is to take it entirely away
from its owners. The real question is not
