FACTS IN THE INDIAN QUESTION.

Another chapter is added to the history of

the late Indian trouble. Some of his con-
clusions are undeniable. The policy of
keeping the Indian idleis most reprehensible

ing work for idle hands to do. Reform is
necessary. The Government owes this duty
to humanity. Workshops and skilled work.
men for teachers would be vastly cheaper
than soldiers and fighting. But on another
point the correspondent may be reasonably
held in fault. No doubt the delay in bring
ing the Indians in was aggraYating and
their depredations provocative of righteous
indignation on the part of persons present
upon the scene. Still, it was the humane
way and can hardly lead to any more harm,
at worst, than an attack and general slaugh-
ter would have been. 1t is not lesson of
vengeance the Indian needs so much as a
lesson in merciful justice.

WINDOWS LAST SPEECH.
His Sound Views on Coinage and the Cur
rency Question.

His Sound Views on Coinage and the Cur
rency Question.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
In his last declaration Secretary Window ut
tered a protest against the free coinage of sill
yer at this time. He regarded it as now unsafe.
A believer, as bimetalist. in plenty of coin to
meet the wants of business operations he
would welcome free silver coinage. as well as
free gold coinage, were the conditions favora-
BILE; but they are not so and will not be until
made so by international agreement. A sys-
tenn of free silver and fiat paper money would
prove disastrous.
The argument of the Secretary that free sill
ver coinage would utterly fail to expand the
currency is somewhat novel. Its foundation is
the theory that the dollar would have only the
value of the bullion contained in it, and the in
ducement to coin our silver would be small
while there would be no imports from other
countries for coinage purposes. At the same
time the market value of our silver would de-
cline "How thenT asked this earnest student
of our finances, will unlimited coinage either
expand the circulation or enhance the value of
silver?" The words uttered by this able fnan-
cier at the very threshold of death will doubt
less have great weight with our Representa-
tives in Congress in their consideration of the
silver bill.

mind. That Mr.. wanamaker during his

mind. That Mr.. Wanamaker during his
incumbency can realize one-tenth of the
reforms which he outlines, is not to be ex-
pected but the statementof what he regards
as possible will be valuable guide for the
future. The most prominent of Mr.. Wana-
makers improvements are the postal tele-
graph and postal savings banks. These
projects have been SO much discussed that
no comment on his presentation of
them is called for here. But it is worth
while to note that the minor features which
the Postmaster General would introduce
combine to form an aggregate change greater
than either the postal telegraph or the postal
savings bank. He recognizes plainly that
such postal service as he would establish
cannot be realized, except by taking the
postofices out of politics. He proposes to
do that by putting its actual management
into the hands of a permanent secretary of
the department, by fixed tenure for en-
ployes of the postofices, and by requiring
previous service for appointments in the
railway mail service or Postofice Depart
ment. With the changes which that i'm
plies, Of permanently removing the postal
service from the spoils of political campaigns,
it might be possible to realize Mr.. Wana-
makers plan not only of postal savings
banks and telegraphs within walking dis
tance of every home; but building costing
$4,000 or upward for every Office where the
rental is $500 per year or more, of postoffices
connected with their branches by pneumatic
tubes, and telephones; of organization into
postal districts, and of free delivery from
all except the very smallest Offices.
We are a long way off from the realization
of this ideal. But it is useful to study it, as
something which might be reached by re-
ducing our governmental system to the basis
of actual business efficiency.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF GAS.

All have been sorry in a sense to see the
clouds of black smoke lowering over Pitts
burg again. and many will respond to the
sentiment of a gas man quoted in another
column. 1t is the belief of many persons
familiar with the gas business that there is
still plenty of gas if it was properly pros
pected for and piped here. The striking OF
a we'll of tremendous pressure only 80 miles
northeast from the city yesterday, and the
existence of two roarers not yet utilized near
Coraopolis, tends to fully confirm this view.
These fields. if piped to this city. would
more than supply the deficiency from which
it has suffered this winter. Several move
ments are on foot to 60 after gas as soon as
spring opens, and the probabilities are sew
sral new lines will be in operation next
winter,

WASTE PAPER RESOLUTIONS.

We do not know what the Governor will
do with that resolution of the Legislature
instructing the Pennsylvania Senators to
vote for the elections bill. But the discus
sion as to his course in the matter exagger-
ates its importance for one reason. That is,
that the resolution will have exactly the
same effective force without his signature as
with it; and that is none at all.
The attempt of Legislature to instruct
at all times nothing more than mere ex-
preston of opinion. In this case it is
doubly a spelling of valuable blank paper.
1t is, in the first place, an attempt to
pacify the disgruntled partisan mind by in
structing the Senators on what is already q
dead dog in the pit. In the next place if
the instruction were upon measures TO be
settled in the future, it would be
utterly without authority. There is
no constitutional warrant for Legisla-
lures to tell Senators how to vote.
There is no constitutional requirement
that Senators shall obey such instructions
II they do so it is simply from political
policy. So far as any official weight is con-
cerned, the electors whose votes elected
President Harrison might just as well come
together and instruct the President to sign
the free coinage bill, or appoint Mr.. jaw
Gould Secretary of the Treasury. The reso-
luton passed by the Legislature is simply
the expression of combined individual
opinions. Whether that opinion will be
weighty with Cameron and Quay or not de-
pends on whether Cameron and Quay are
the creatures OF the individual members OF
the Legislature or uice versa. But it is GER
tain to have just as much effect without tine
Governors signature as with it.

tongues out of their mouths. The rattlesnakes,
nearly equal in number, did not shrink from

forth the most musical rattle noise l ever
heard. The big rattles and the little rattles
blended In way that is indescribable. Before
the contending forces met they had attained
great speed and the shock of contact echoed
down the mountain sides for miles. Some of
the blacksnakes were hurled hundreds Of yards

WOMEN AT THE PLAY.
Approval of the Desire to Use Vigorous
Expletives at Times.

Approval of the Desire to Use Vigorous
Expletives at Times.
New York Evening SUM-
An audience of women Is wholly sui generis.
An audience of men alone or mixed audience
is SO different from the individuals composing
it. 1t has different temper toward the world,
and is capable of insights and of actions which
in no way represent the capacity or taste Of any
single person in it. But an audience of women,
for its adherence to standards purely personal
and feminine, might wear single bonnet on
It's head and pat out Its approval with single
pair of smoothly gloved hands. These refec-
tions are suggested by the behavior Of the
audience of women at Miss Cameron's
performance of ''The Dolls House"
yesterday afternoon. The entire house
behaved itself in exactly the same way
in reference to the play that any one woman
would have done. 1t cried as single woman,
1t laughed as single woman, it applauded as
single woman. And its judgment on the
play was pre-eminently that of women. It was
evident that the ethical question in the play
appealed to them and not its dramatic move
ment. No audience of men cares a rap about
the ethical drama; with them the plays the
thing. But women have a keen scout after
the ethics of life; and SO it was that they filed
out of the theater and melted away into twos
and threes, discussing. not the artistic quail
ity in the composition OF the play or in the
Nora'S behavior and the sacred rights of the
individual soul and a great many other split
points that were more Bostonese than inter-
esting.
There were four places in the play where the
audience was aroused to an expression of ap-
groval IN the line that was purely feminine
TIE hrst was when Nora said: ''Sometimes
Just want to say oh. damn" A distinct
at this.
When Nora set forth the principle that "a
woman who has once sacrificed herself for
others never does 1t a second time" the hand
clapping was more vigorously approbatlve than
at any other place in the play except where
Nora answers her husbands grandiloquence.
"A man never sacrifices his honor for those he
loves" with the equally grandiloauent re-
mark, "Hundreds of women do that every
day." There was no mIstaking the heartiness
of their approval at this. The applause was
nearly as spontaneous and as ringing as If il
struck out from the palms of lot of men. The
other sentiment that won quick recognition on
its merits alone was the profound observation
that Helnler makes about Chrfstila's knitting
work: You should crochet; 1t looks better II
Here the assent was almost as unanimous as in
the former case.
