Troublesome Cheyenne Indians

Orders have been received from
headquarters in ST Paul for troops at
Fort Keogh to go to the Cheyenne Agency,
as the reds are dancing, in violation of the
orders of the agency, and have notified the
agent that they intend TO make an attack.
Since the order Of the general land office,
allowing those settlers who claimed prior
rights within the reservation to make fnsl
proof thereon. trouble has been feared,
and the Indians have made threats. Sheriff
Jones and c. II. Thompson returned from
the agency last night with one of two In
disns arrested for killing cattle. The
other.one managed TO escape. Consider
able difficulty was experienced in making
the capture, as the reds put every obstacle
possible in the way. Considerable alarm
is felt in that section. Danger IS feared
from rowing reds bent on plunder and mur-
der more than concerted action.

Twelve Hundred Cinnamon.

The / 200 Chinese who were thrown
out of employment by the collapse of the
Tehuantepec railway project are making
their way in body through Mexico to-
wards the United States, pillaging and
committing depredations in the country
through which they pass. All are in a
destitute condition and are unable TO find
employment
They were imported into Mexico under
contract to work on the railway and, owing
to the failure of that enterprise, the con
tractors were heavy losers at the hands of
Salvador Malo, the promoter Of the
scheme, who is now in London, England,
and the Chinese were suddenly thrown
out of work with no money upon which to

TIE trouble with all our instisutio

THE trouble with all our institutions
Of correction is the difficulty of break
ing away from the old idea of legal
penalties without rushing to the other
extreme Few tasks are more difficult
than to make people understand the
legitimate object of these penalties;
which is primarily. or should be-
neither the punishment Of the offend
er nor the reformation of him. but
the protection of society. That pro-
lection is the only warrant that exists
for restraint upon the individuals; and
1t is as part of such protection, by
the preventing future acts of crime,
that reformation of the offender has
come to play so large part IN the
later study OF penology.

The eerman-American Agreement.

Copies of the correspondence be-
tween the late Count Won Arco Valley, in
the capacity Of German minister to the
United States, to the Washington govern
ment regarding the prohibition of the ad-
mission of American pork into Germany,
were to-day distributed among the men
bers of the Reichstag
The correspondence shows that during
the negotiations Germany offered to admit
American agricultural products on the
terms as those of Austria and other coun-
tries, whereupon Count Arco Valley was
informed that President Harrison con
sidered that this concession obviated the
necessity of his applying his discretionary
powers in the matter of imports from Ger
many, and instructions were issued assur-
ing Germany OF continued exemptions from
duty for her products coming under sec
tion 3 of the Mckinley tariff law.

TROPHIES OF CONQUEST.

The Latin-Amercan exhibits at the Worlds
Fair promise to be the most conspicuous feature
of a world wide industrial display. This will
be eminently appropriate, as the discoveries of
the Spanish navigatorS are to be commemorated
BIZ the Exhibition. Mexico has taken prom
inent part in the preparations for the Worlds
Fair. and is making arrangements for COM
p'ete exhibit OF its resources and industries. The
interest shown by that nation in the Fair is par
ticuIarly noticeable on historical grounds. Mex
leo is the only Spanish-American republic which
has been exposed to war of conquest and to
loss of territory from diplomatic complications
with the United States. Ii is the only country
in tropical America which has had cause to ques-
ton the disinterestedness and pacific tendencies
of Washington diplomacy. The heartinesS with
which it is entering upon its preparations for the
Fair is signal proof of magnanimity and lack
of resentment. The friendly spirit which it is
displaying ought TO be acknowledged and redp-
rocated by the United States
There Is practical way Of doing this. At
West Point on the edge Of the parade-ground
there are several Mexican guns which were
cap,fed at Chapultepeo, MOiino del Rey, Vera
Cruz and other battlefelds of the War Of 1s49
These are trophies of the only war of conquest
in which the United States has ever engaged

FIGHTING From 4 DISTANCE.

Governor Campbell, of Ohio, is carefully at
tendipo 70 his campaign as Democratic candidate
| for Governor in this city. His prolonged con-
sultations with prominent and wealthy Demo-
cra4s of this CITY are doubtless expected by him
n resuIt in more advantage to his own cause
and that of his party than could be gained by
his work in the field Exactly how he proposes
70 win an Ohio election by campaigning in
! New-Yorll is not stated, and perhaps 1t Is un-
kind TO inquire. But when the Republicans OF
that State have noticed that he has left and IS
on his way home they will be on the lookout
for various arrangements, financial or other,
which can be more conveniently conducted at a
considerable distance from Ohio.
Meanwhile Major Mckinley is making an ex-
ceedingly vigorous and forcible campaign, ad-
dressing the people in different parts of the
State in his own peculiarly impressive and con-
vincing way. and dispatches say that he is gain
inc adberents rapidly. in some Democratic
stronpholds large numbers Of Democrats incud-
ing men of great local influence, are led by his
reasoninps 20 withdraw from the support OF their
Marty and TO declare their determination to
vote and use all the influence they can for the
RepubIican candidates Many of these are pro-
foundly displeased with the position OF their
marty on the silver question, and are satisfied
Inv Mr. McKiney's explanations Of the situa-
tion and the danger that they can look only to
tbe Republican party for maintenance of sound
cnrrency Many others have for years been
hostile to the Free-Trade tendencies OF that
marty. and yet have been repeatedly persuaded
that it would never suffer that element to con-
troll its course But the issue now presented
is too clear for doubt These voters find Dem
ocratic papers and speakers in every part Of
the country employing exactly the arguments
which the ultra >FreeTraders used to employ
wears ago. 1t is no longer possible for them to
doubt that vote for the Democratic ticket is
vote against Protection.
This consideration has peculiar weight in
Ohio. where great industries have been built
ND within the last thirty years by the policy
Of Protection which would be prOstrated by a
Democratic tariff Other establishments in
great number have been added already as the
result of the tariff enacted last year. In his
speeches Major Mckinley is able in almost every
palt of the State to point to new establish
ments. which employ large numbers Of men and
add incalcuably to the prosperity of farmers
and mechanics in the whole surrounding neigh
borhood. Those whom he addresses are per.
sonslly cognizant of these things and their loca
interests help them to appreciate the benefits
which the same policy is cOnferring upon the
whole State and the country.

States. Such an episode would have most
beneficial effect upon the diplomatic and trade
relations of the two countries. 1t is TO be
urged, not only on low levels of commercial ex'
pediency, but also on high grounds OF interna-
tonal morality. The crowning result OF the
pan-American Congress was the adoption oil

as means of preventing war. The United
States is committed to that benign policy. Wha'
better way can there be of attesting its faith In
the coming era of universal peace than that OF
returning these relics of its one immoral and
wanton war of c3nquest?
