The Indian war, which fer some
weeks past has occasicned soiicitude
throughout the country because OF Its
formidable proportions, is practically
ended The chiefs have not only come
into Pine Ridge with protcstations of
peace, but large delegation will soon
be in Washington 20 lay their case be-
fore the Great Father, with view to
the establishment Of better relations
with the government. The campaign
has been arduous for the troops en-
gagged. being carried On In the fame OF
many difficulties, and most inclemen,
season Of the year, and fortunately,
the general engagement that on sever
al occasions seemed imminent, was
averted. The great question now to be
settled is that of maintaining the pacif-
ic relations that have been brought
about by great cost and hazard. The
lessons Of the war will not be lost if it
slall be the means Of instltuhng re-
forms that have long been needed, and
impressing upon the minds of the In
dams, no. only sense of the power OF
the government, but of its power and
justice.
The committee appointed to make
the usual annual count OF the stamps
in the vaults of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, have submitted their report to
the Secretary of the Treasury, and the
statistics CLEANED from it are interest
ing as showing the vast number of
stamps required TO collect the revenue
of the government for single year.
The report shows that there were on
hand December Goth 1889. all told,
IS, So, Gil stamps, and from that date
to the first Of the present year there
were received from the bureau OF en-
craving and printing for issue, $50, 900
600 stamps, making total OF nearly a
billion to be accounted for.
There is not pending today N Con
gress a more just and meritorious meas
ure, than the bill providing for the re-
organization and Redistribution OF the
Railway Mail Service. This import
ant system of postal service, although
in better condition than ever before,
has not been properly encouraged, and
the employees have not been given an
incentive for striving for improvement
and more perfect working Of the num-
erous routes. There is no other branch
of the government which, should it be-
come demoralized and inefficient, would
more seriously affect the business OF
the country The Railway Postal Ser
vice is really the nerve system OF the
country, and its arrangement would
mean untold calamity. There is not
much danger of its collapse, but when
It's scope is contemplated and given
proper consideration, there is every
reason to believe that Congress will ex-
tend that aid and encouragement to
which it is entitled.
There is one objection to the force
bill that has not been placed promi-
ncntly before the public. Suppose our
elections and Indian uprising, and sew
cral beligerant legislatures should hap
pen to fail due in the same week; think
how our undergrad soldiers would have
to work over hours.

PETER Is not lawyer, but came by his
legal name through writing low tariff

The New Year

| uU lSU " z U
Has opened auspic-
iously for us, and we
hope it has'for you.
Since opening trade
has been way ahead of
what we expected. Still
it is not surprising that
trade is good when you
remember that we are
selling groceries cheap
er than any house in
the city. Follow the
crowd" if you want to
find the best place to
trade.
This year we are go
ing to knock the bot
tom out of prices, and
sell Groceries cheaper
than ever before. We
are of the opinion that
a nimble dime brings
better returns than a
dead dollar. The gro
Ger who marks his price
way up, thereby allow
ing his goods to be-
come shelf-worn. can't
see much to hope for
in the New Year.
We're not built that
way. We're not old in
age, but we're not a
tenderfoot in the gro
Gerry business, and ex-
perience has taught us
that II a man wishes to
drive bargains, he must
keep prices down.
The grocer often gets
a drubbing at the hands
of women because
goods are not deliver
ed on time. We make
it a point to win smiles
instead of frowns in
this respect, as goods
are always delivered
promptly.
If you have not been
trading with us, we ex-
tend an invitation to
come around and price
goods. No damage
will be done if you do
not buy.
Respectfully,
DICK ROBINSON.

The New York board Of education re-
Gently adopted rule that no teacher who
has taught in the public schools of that
city for . period Of fourteen years shall
thereafter receive salary of less than $3.50
per annum. This does not seem like q
recklessly munifcent inducement to offer
for 50 long term Of faithful and accept
able service in the cause of education, but
some Of the metropolitan papers are rails
ing . commotion about it, and In proof
that 1t is extravagant point to the super
abundant crop of alleged or would-be
teachers who work or are willing to do 90
for SIC to SIS per month.
Merely to hear recitations and overlook
exercises is one thing, but to guide and
gauge pupils and teach capably is quite an
other, and is an art which not all educated
people possess or can acquire. And there is
no line of business in which experience is
of greater value than in this. A tyro may
be dear at any price, but any teacher who
has taught acceptably for fourteen years
should be cheap at $3.50 year, and if they
have been worthy of retention for that
length of time it would be disgraceful to
offer them less

sEArrLE,s POLICE FORCE.

The first step toward actual retrench-
ment in the municipal departments in the
line Of the recently declared policy was
taken by the House of Delegates last
night. An ordinance was passed limiting
the entire police force to fifty-fve.
This will allow one chief, one cap
tain, three lieutanants and fifty
patrolmen. If the present salaries
are maintained this will make difference
in the pay roll Of 1885 month. For
February it amounted to $6,50S. ID; in
January it amounted to 81 ,0oO; under the
proposed arrangement it will cost about
"a ,612 . month. This amount is even less
than was proposed by the mayor. but it
can be safely added to the fire department..
Omaha, with . population of $4,000 and
. patrolled area Of 24N miles. has only So
policemen. The entire cost OF that depart
meet for salaries is $67,5I6, while that Of
Seattle, with all its reduction. will reach
$55,344; 80 that, taking into account the
difference of population, Seattle will be
far ahead in number and expense Of
Omaha, which is considered fairly well
governed city.
