GENERAL MILES suggests that the
thieving Indian agents be temporarily
replaced by honest army officers. or
course that could not be done, as it
would practically break up the Republi
can party in those sections and turn them
over to the Democrats. 1t would have
the same effect that removing the troops
from the South had on the carpet. baggers
and the Republican vote in 1876. Il
would be diametrieallY contrary to the
scheme of the Force bill. It is folly to
ask the Republican party to abandon the
Indian agents. Better kill every Indian
in the conntry aud risk the life of every
soldier in the service We must have
Indian agency berths and the system
Of .carpet-baggism must be renewed
In the South or the Republican party
will 60 to pieces. Is there not already a
dangerous majority of Democratic Repre-
sentatIves from the Northern states in
Congressq What does General Miles mean
does he contemplate turning this coun-

The new telephone system, which is a
great improvement over the old one, went
into effect this morning The mode Of
operation is very different from the old
method, and the change will at first con-
fuse patrons Of the telephone service in
this city BY the new method the opera.
tor at the central station cannot talk, and
not even the discouraging cry Of

again. The operator will hereafter
ring up the number called for,
and when the connection IS made
the operator will ring once and that is
the signal for beginning conversation.
The system is the same as that in use In
Philadelphia and other large cities and
has proved both convenient and efficient
The extra operator, or telephone No, 500
was Kept very busy this morning, cor
recting the errors made by subscribers
who forgot altogether about any new

MIST turned the tables on the electric
wires last evening and put them in a
ecmatose state. Throughout the West
and Southwest a gigantic wet blanket OF
mist, hundreds OF miles iu extent, almost
stided every throb Of electricity, and the
wires stretching from city to city were
literally sodden and lifeless. To the
last blizzard vas overturning poles and
swapping the small cords holding far
separated communities together It is
not often that anything gets the best Of
the so-cElled harmless electric current, =
but the mist and the blizzard combined
to overcome it last night.

THE consequences Of Porter's nit
count Of the Indians is far-reaching and
disastrous. The Holy Rosary Mission at
the Pine Ridge agency has been raided
by the starving savages, and Miss Drexel
has furnished money to re.equip and
save the mission. Wien the entire sc-
count shall have been written up and a
balance drawn, this administration will
owe the people heavy debt. The Re
publican party is absolutely bankrupt in
principle, and will have nothing to turn
over in assets; all OF their broken promises
will be protested at the next elections.

TINS is the period Of the year when
small investors are seeking safe deposit
tories and profitable Investments. The
recent financial depression throughout
the country, the many failures and the
general decline in the value Of ali
classes Of securities have made
these people unusually timid and
rendered larger investors more cautious.
The printed statements sent out by the
companies seeking the patronage of in.
vestors do not satisfy their patrons and
do not serve the purpose Of encouraging
the people generally: They do not have
the effect Of dissipating the universal
timidity which pervades the country be-
cause they often sre not read By those to
whom rhey are sent and not commented
on by those who are familiar with fnan-
cial matters

The Negro VS.. Representation.

Richmond Times.
The Force bill is about TO take shape
which its promoters little dreamed Of
waen II was offered One of the main
arguments which has been advanced in
it's favor is that the negro vote in the
South is a mere mechanical vote; that
the negro is not permitted free expression
of opinion, and that the only effect Of
negro oenfranchisement is additional Demo
cratic representation In Congress. This is
the appeal fer the passage Of the Force
