a bar room kept by John Sullivan TO get
q drink. There was q crowd OF jovial
fellows in there, laughing and chattering
as they drank, and suddenly one of them
exclaimed: ''Scatter, for Gods sake,
boys; the snakes OUT thought he had
'em, but he didn't. A negro who lived out
near the swamps, about three miles from
the city, had caught q huge rattler, fully
five feet in length, In q barrel. and had
boxed Il up and brought IL TO the city.
Sullivan bought 1t as curiosity and put
il In a cage in the saloon, and the reptile
had got out Of his cage and was crawling
on the floor. Il wouldn't do TO let the
creature get out for il was terror, and
the boys were in quandry to know how

Presently saw one little black-haired
fellow afterwards learned that his name
was Jack Abrams-start for the snake

to the warning, but kept on hopping closer
and closer, and presently the snake struck
him on the leg, six inches above the shoe

4 BAD OUTLOOK ON THE PLAINS.

To what extent the Indians are accountable
for the superstition that Is now raging so fierce
" among them is problem. One of the recent
reforms inaugurated by the Indian Bureau in
its effort to teach the red people self govern
ment according to our ideas is police court
composed of Indian judges. Its inferior officers
are also Indians. Its processes are served by
Indian clerks and its DEGREES enforced by In
dian policemen. These officials are selected by
the white man in control of the Agency, who
possesses an appellate and general supervisory
function. At recent session of one of these
courts held at Standing Rock, the principal
Sioux Agency, some sixty miles south Of Bis
marck, North Dakota, the precise character Of
the superstition was revealed in the testimony of
Wal.tit-a-win, who claims to be the mother
of the Indian Messiah. She said that her son
was Divine being that he was now on the
earth preparing for its regeneration; that the
Indians were his chosen people, and that the
whole Western Continent was to be given over
to them; the white man was to be driven from
the land, and simultaneously the Indians who
now sleep were to be resurrected and forever
confirmed in the happy and peaceful possession
of their ancient dominions.
taken firm hold upon thousands of the bravest
and most dangerous Indians men to whom the
evidence of their own senses will be no argu-
ment against the ACCESSIBILITY of warlike en-
terprises in support of the Messiahs mission.
The situation is ominous. II portends an In
dian war upon a scale far surprising such out
breaks as in past years have been caused by
ordinary discomfort. 1t needs to be handled
with the utmost delicacy-and all the more be-
cause of the analogy which can be drawn be-
tween the Christian religion and the prophecies
of Wal tit-a-win. We must remember that these
prophecies are only combination of the teach
jncs of our own missionaries with an ancient
Indian belief concerning the coming of Great
Shirt in whose wake will tread the vast army
of the Indian dead. The retusn of the ghosts
| is an Indian superstition much older than the
| American Government. Ii was undoubtedly
derived from intercourse with the whites. The
entirety of this new religion is of Saxon origin
But the Indians have lost sight of that, and in
the ages that have gone since they first knew
of the white usurper they have come TO be-
| lieve in this notion and of an Indian New
Jerusalem as peculiar faith of their own.
The nature and extent of our embarrassment
| in any effort we may make to undeceive the
| Indians are well shown in conversation recent

TIE PEOPLE ARE OBEYED.

There is scarcely street in this city whose
nroseut condition supplies the slightest evidence
that il has been subjected within fortnight
to the process which is officially known as clean
ing. The sweepings of shops, the refuse OF
markets the surplusage of h-barrels, the de-
posits of animals, the mutifarious Litter
thrown to the wind by million pedestrians
arc everywhere impartially intermingled with
the native mire to form variegated coating
of adhesive slime. OF course, it is not true
that the apparatus Of Mr.. Beattie's department
has been absolutely unemployed since the cleo
ton. His carts have trundled through the
streets, his shovellers and sweepers have bran
dished their several implements, boxes and bar
rels have been turned upside down in the vicin-
ity of the vehicles appointed to collect their
contents, and a mass of stuff has been carried
from one point to another and dumped some
where. We know that this is 70, because we
have seen the process going on. But, as we
said at the outset, the streets themselves would
never suggest that they had been touched ex-
cept for the purpose of defiling them.
A minority of the citizens Of New-York have
right to complain OF this vile treatment
About "a, 900 voters, and, generally speaking
their wives and children, together with few
individuals whom Providence kept away from
the polls on November 4, are entitled to con-
denim and despise the conditions under which
they are forced to live, but the majority Will
have no such right until they have shown un-
mistakabe evidence of repentance and remorse
The people OF New-York, by a preponderance
of $4,000 votes, have practically instructed
Tammany Hall to keep the streets filthy, and
TO perpetuate and make fruitful as many germs
of disease as possible on every square foot OF
pavement Why should Tammany go beyond
its instructionsp The majority rule, and the
majority have plainly declared what sort OF
streets they want. Why should larger part
than formerly OF the huge sum OF money sup
piled by the people be stopped on its way to
the pockets of our rulers and msapplied to the
purpose of making the streets clecn and whole
some? The people have told Tammany to
keep all it wants and waste the rest. Mayor
Grant doesn't propose to lay himself open to
the charge of wifully and impertinently dis
regarding the declared will of the people.
II we were in the Mayors place and pro-
fessed his standard of morals and duty we
would retain Beattie and his methods without
the slightest regard to protests emanating from
a pitifuI minority. Beattie knows as well as
any man how to keep the streets of great city
foul and offensive To do this thoroughly well
requires some knowledge and ingenuity. A
new Commissioner would be an experiment,
and might be failure. Beattie is the right
man in the right place. The people have said
so, and there is no appeal from their verdict at
least for two years. All hail, Beattie!

IOWd'S AGED ATHLETES.

Something over a year ago The Tribune printed
the challenge of Mr.. A. G. Owen, of Mason City,
Iowa, eighty-four years DID, to run q forty-rod
foot-race with any man Of his age for 81, 900 a
side. We are sorry to say that he has now with
drawn this challenge. as he has not been able to
arrange q match, and has grown tired Of
negotiating with irresponsible persons, who were
willing to talk, but not to get out on the track
and run. But Iowa must still he regarded as the
land of aged athletes as with the withdrawal of
Mr.. Owens challenge there comes proposition
from DR.. L. X. Garfield, of Algona, aged seventy
nine, to race any man In the United States of as
great age on a bicycle at any distance for any
reasonable amount He would not object, Of
course, to any man older than himself, though he
would not care to race with man who was over
10, as he believes that at that age man should
retire from the track il he ever intends to.
As we just remarked, Iowa furnishes our best
example Of the great-grandfather in athletics.
Other States have alleged aged athletes, but when
it comes to putting up their money and getting out
on the cinder-path they make dismal failures.
Mr.. Owens experience proved this, and we sim
cereIy trust that DR.. Garfield will have better
luck. The first to respond to Owens challenge
was man named Palmer, living in Oregon, Ill.
He wrote that he was anxious to run, and Owen
told him to come on. Then Palmer began to make
conditions and find fault with the articles of agree
ment and it finally came out that he had lost
leg in the war Of l812 and wanted fifteen rods
start. Owen promptly replied that it no
handicap race, and that he would not give him an
inch the start, even il he had lost both legs in
the Revolution, and that if he meant business
70 come on and toe the scratch. That was the
last he ever heard of Palmer. Then man in
Michigan offered to race if the purse was made
$50 600, and another in Kansas would gladly run
II the distance Was extended from forty rods to
four miles, but Owen saw that they were only
seeking notoriety and refused to have anything to
do with them. One Of the last TO try to arrange
n match was man named Stark, living in Canton,
Ohio. lie claimed TO be ninety-four. but his
eyesght was poor and he said 1t was necessary
that he run with dog, the intelligent animal
being supposed 10 lead him and keep him on the
track. Owen inclined to arrange match
with him at first but investigation showed that
Stark ran with big dog weighing lao pounds,
and that he would yell "Sic 'em. Tige'" and the
dog would start of like jaok-rabblt leaving
the old gentleman nothing to do but to hang to
the string and skate behind Indeed. It was In.
timated to Owen that even II he did get ahead
the dog would grab him by the calf Of the
leg and hold him while his master shufded along

MR.. pzRYELDS RETIREMENT.

Moral forces have involved the retirement
of Mr. Parnell from the Irish leadership Inc
collapse of the defence in the OShea divorce
suit is confession Of guilt which paralyzes
his usefulness to the Home Rule cause. lie
NAV be, and undoubtedly is, the most power
fnl and successful Irish leader since the days
IF OConnell, but it is no longer possible. for
him to conduct tho Home Rule movement.
With a record of private immortality openly
confessed in an English court he will mevl-
tably ALLEVIATE public sympathy for the cause
with which he has been identified. 1t is
necessary for him to step down and out Sir
Charles Dixie once the most popular man in
Chelsea, sought reelection there after falling
lamentably to establish his innocence in the
Crawford suit, and his majority melted away.
A brilliant statesman, destined apparently to
he Prime Minister, he was ruined politically
nv the foul scandal which had clouded his
fame. Mr.. Parners political influence will
also be irretrievably damaged by the disastrous
and shameful termination Of the OShea case.
The retirement OF Mr.. Parnell from the lead
ership will be a grave misfortune, but not a
fatal blow to the Home Rule cause. 1t will be
misfortune because his authority over the
Irish party was firmly established, and his
power Of maintaining discipline in the ranks
generally acknowledged. 1t will be imprac-
ticabIe for either Mr.. Dillon, or Mr.. Healy, OF
Mr.. Sexton, or Mr.. OBrien, to take his place
without exciting rivalry and jealousy and i'm
pairing the unity Of action which has been char
acteristic of recent Irish policy. Mr. Parnell
not only has had genius for organization, but
he has also possessed English traits which were
essential, to the progress and success of the
Irish cause He has shown infexibe resolu-
ton, a kind of bulldog pertinacity and an in
vincible determination to win. lie has been
more of an Englishman than an lrishman In
his successful fight against British prejudice
and the distinctive qualities of his leadership
will be lacking in any successor who may be
appointed. His retirement will be great losi
to the cause of Home Rule but it Is not ire
trievable. Mr.. Gladstone is now the real lead
