Mr.. Herbert Welsh is an officer of the Indian
Rights Association, a philanthropic society
which has done and is doing great deal OF
good among the Indians. We cannot suppose
that the statements imputed in this report to
Mr.. Welsh were actually made by him, for, as
we have often shown, they are unquahiedly
false. But they have been repeated and are
being repeated in Democratic journals all over
the country. and it is high time for Mr.. Welsh
expressly to disown them. Mr. Welsh knows
a good deal about Indian affairs, but he does
not know any more than the rest OF us VINO
have given close and dsinterested attention TO
them. and vague charges against an Admins
tration which deserves only the highest praise
for it's Indian service will not rebound to ms
credit.
The Indian Rights Association is OF all bodies
the last that should array itself in hostility TO
the policy which this Administration is execut-
ing with such devotion and skill. We do not
say that President Harrison has made no mis-
takes in his Indian appointments, but we DO
say that when mistakes have been made he has
been the first to recognize them. He has re-
moved several of his own appointees upon
proofs of incompetence, and he has been guided
at all times by the one aim of promoting tho
welfare of the Indians. The principle OF APP
pointing agents from the States within which
the reservations are placed is an excellent pIfn-
ciple and should always be followed. To say
that it means the application of the spoils sys-
tenn any more than the appointment of foreign
ers is to say what is obviously foolish, and to
intimate that the shedding of blood" is the
result of appointing men from Dakota and
Nebraska instead of Kentucky and Texas is to
commu an absurdity which loses none OF its
offensiveness because it comes from person
supposed to have especial opportunities OF know
ing what he talks about, and to represent
society that has the Indians good at heart.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE FLACKS

| ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE FLAChS.
The decision of the Court of Appeals grant
ing new tria, to the Flac1s brought great joy
to the hearts of the long suffering eX-Sherif
and his dutiful son. To the people in general
and to this community in particular we think
it must bring dsheartening realization of the
extreme difficulty with which the laws of the
State are enforced. To condemn Judges of the
Court of Appeals for declaring what they under
stand the law to be would be absurd rs well as
disrespectful but there is no improperly in re-
GREETING that statutes are framed as to facili-
tate the commission of crimes. 1t not an
easy matter to convict the defendants in this
case. They were brought to trial only after
repeated and wearisome delays had exhausted
the patience of the public and weakened the
evidence against them. II some criticisms Of
the proceedings in court were heard there was
nevertheless universal agreement that the
verdict and the sentence were intrlnslcally just
The case must now he tried again under adj
verse conditions, not because anybody suppoSes
that injured innocence requires a vindication,
but because the Court of Appeals says that the
law SAYS that sume things which a learned
Judge said ought to have been left unsaid.
Perhaps this is all that needs to he said ut
this lmcture, but we cannot refrain from add
ing that District Attorney Nicol is now enabled
to serve the community signally by bringing
the second prosecution of this case into vivid
contrast with the first in some important par
ticulars. 1t is new to him, and he will need
some time for preparation, but thereafter he
can at least proceed with energy and deter
mination The Flaclls are understood to be in
excellent health, and we have not heard that
anybody else whose presence in court may be
required is in unusual danger of falling sick
at inopportune moments The trial ought to
be short, sharp and decisive.

THE INDIANS AND THE "SPOILS SYSTEM


On Wednesday. January 6, "The Evening
POST contained an editorial representing that
the Indian troubles in Dakota were the direct
result of the misconduct of agents appointed
by the present Administration under the
"spoilS system" and declaring that - the agent
at the Pine Ridge Agency whom President
Harrison removed, Mr.. McGilcuddy, is Re-
publican whom President Cleveland found in
office and retained because he was an excellent
man for the place and whom President uar-
rison replaced by one Gallagher" This charge,
and the specification under it, are both utterly
false. DR.. McGiicuddy was removed from
Office after about eight years of excellent SER
vice by Mr.. Cleveland and Colonel Gallagher
who is a Democrat, was appointed to the Doc
tors place on September 23 1885. When, on
the day after this gross falsehood appeared il.

The Democratic Legislature at Trenton could
not have made a worse beginning Within
three hours after the opening Of the session
the Senate had perpetrated the shameful out
rage of displacing Senator Stuhr and reinstat-
ing Mcdonald the product of the notorious
frauds in Hudson County, who was unseated
last wear after long and careful investigation.
There was no pretence of an investigation now,
or even of presentation of the Democratic
ease. 1t was simply carrying out by main force
a prearranged plan. A grosser piece OF in
Justice has rarely, if ever, been committed by
a legislative body.

The new Republican County Committee,
chosen at yesterdays primaries, is repre-
sentative body. Barring one or two contests OF
interest, the primaries passed off without fric-
ton, though enough votes were cast to show
that the enrolled Republicans are wideawake
and earnest in their determination to do the
best possible for the party. 1t is gratifying
circumstance that some strong new names are
to be seen in the list of delegates which is
printed on another page. The struggle for
supremacy in the Brooklyn General Committee
was brought to close last evening by the
election of Mr. Goodrich as chairman by sub
stantial majority. This matter having been
settled, it is the plain duty of our party friends
across the Bridge to join hands heartily and
pull together henceforth in entire harmony.

that he killed Cummings and tried to kill Hurley

Were ii otherwise we should not nut in

narratives confirm the fact of the
tacit acquiesence and conniyance
OF prominent citizens; of the pre-
meditated determination to carry
out the tragedy in the face of the
law. Therefore the responsibility. the
shame upon the American name is so

severe must be the account and the ex-
PLANTATION asked and demanded in the

things are possible is place of brutes

banished from the human family. The

most horrible, the most bloody outrage

Herr Won BOetticher'S Libel Of
Our Meat Inspection Laws.
Secretary Rusk Replies to the
Misstatements.

Notwithstanding the Statement to the
Contrary Our Inspection Law is Guar
antee That Our Pork is wholesome,
and the Base Accusation should Not
Pass without Redress,
WASHINGTON, March .7.-Secretary
Rusk, on being asked what he thought
of the alleged statement made by DIR.
Won B9tticher in the reichstag on be-
half of the German government, to the
effect that the new sanitary measures
adopted in the United States were made
quate, and therefore that the govern
ment did not intend to rescind the pro
hibition placed upon the importation of
American hog products, said:
II can hardly believe that such a
statement has been made, for il imports
willful or pretended ignorance of the
legislation now in force in this country
providing for meat inspection. The
last meat-inspection law passed by con
gress provides for the most thorough
and complete system of inspection pos
sible, and it will be more thorough than
that now in force in any other country
in the world.
Not only will cattle and hogs be ex-
alllneu lnhlleulaUely pllOf TO slaughter,
but | have the power to cause post-mor-
tenn examinations to be made, and in the
case of swine a microscopic examination
on all export hog products and every
pre- aution that science can avail itself
OF to detect disease will be adopted
The certificate issued by this govern
ment after such examination will guar
antee that the animal from which the
product came was free of disease. If an
ante-mortem examination and a micro
scOpic examination after death will not
satisfy the German government of the
purity of our hog products then it is
simply because they purposely propose
not to be satisfied with any system Of
inspection This government has long
and patiently suffered the imputation
placed upon its meat products by for
eign nations to exist under cover of Just
such preteXts as are said TO have been
made by DIR. Won Bptticher, but the
time has about arrived vixen this
unjust discrimination of prohi-
bition against our meats, and the false
statements as to their purity as the ex-
cuse 1,r s1ch prohibition, must cease
Such statements as imputed to Dr.. Won
Bot tticher will no longer be permitted to
go unchallenged by this government,
and such redress as the laws of this
country permit to be had, should, in my
judgment, be enforced

New YORK, March 1,.-The Italians
Of New York are intensely excited over
the reports of the killing of the eleven
prisoners in New Orleans ON Saturday.
To "A man they denounce the action of
the New Orleans mob as atroeious mur-
der. The sunday edi ions of the Italian
newspapers, Il Progresso ltalo-AmeIi-
cauo and l. Eco d Italia, contained long
accounts of the riot in New Orleans the
columns being bordered by heavy black
lines and the head lines being Of the
most sensational nature.
The offices of these newspapers were
crowded all day Sunday by indignant
Italians who demanded that a public
meeting of their Countrymen should he
held to take suitable action. 1t will
probably be held late in the week.
A good idea of the prevailing senti-
ment among the Italians may lie oh

of nations has such a horrible tragedy
