ETHER GENERAL MILES is restrained by
orders from Washington, or he is making
fearful muddlc of things in Dakota.
The attitude of the Indians is more threat
ening than it has been at any time since
the first demonstrations occurred. The
fact that they are not actually OH the war
path goes for nothing. Evidently they
are ready to 60, anxious to go, and are re-
strained only by considerations of expe-
diency. If this were May instead of jan
nary, there would be no delay. The In
dians would begin fighting without q mo-
ment's hesitation. They are in an ugly
mood, they want to fight, and it is abund-
antly evident that the old chiefs have lost
their control over the young and hot
blooded braves. General MILES makes no
progress in disarmament of the Indians.
Out of all the firearms known to be in
their possession they have surrendered
only about fifty pieces, and these are of
obsolete pattern and about as useful in
modern warfare as so many catapults or
boomerangs. The Indians clearly do not
intend to surrender them il they can help
il, and, so far, General MILES has done
nothing to compel them. He has not
ayen resorted to the expedient of search
ing their persons as has been frequently
done, and always with success. How it
all is to end presents very dark and
troublous problem. Certainly, if the In
,ians are not disarmed now, we shall
have news from the Bad Lands next
spring that will make the civilized world
shudder. There is blundering some
where-but where?

'INQUIRENDO ISLAND" by Hudor
Genone. Twentieth Century Publish
ing Company, 4 Warren street, New
York. Paper so cents, cloth 81.
This book is described by one critic as
"a broad burlesque of Christian symbol
ISM by another as stupid and vulgar
blasphemy," by another as IAN attack on
revealed religion" and by another as "a
book with useful purpose II seems to
be indeed grossly offensive to taste and
propriety and an attempt of an atheist TO
make mockery and sham of the worship
Of God and the Christian religion. That
it should find circulation through the
mails is the best evidence of the liberality
and forbearance of the postal authorities,
SOCIALISM or CHRISTI by Austin
Bierbower. Chicago: Chas, ii. Sergel
n Co. l2mo cloth, 81.
This book presents the attitude Of early
Christianity toward Socialism and its re-
lated problems. All ancient writings
bearing ON the subject have been crti-
cally examined as well as all ancient
socialistic theories and attempts at practi-
cal communism. The author believes
| Christianity to be the outcome of tre-
mendous popular movement Moderns
will be astonished at how thoroughly and
! passionately those questions were an
! GENTLY discussed which seem new TO this
age, and how they received a solution by
Jesus or His immediate followers. The
book is unlike any ever written, and will
awaken intense interest in early Christian
ity as well as in social and economic prob
lens. II is written in popular style and
abounds in constant surprises.
''BURNS AND THE KIRK by Alex
ander Webster. New York; Twen-
tieth Century Publishing Co. Cloth,
76c,; paper, doc,
The purpose Of this little work is stated
by the author in preface. II is TO show
the work performed by the poet, Robert
Burns, in the field of religion and moral
ity. Burns the rustic, the singer of love
is known 10 the whole world; but Burns
the prophet of religious reform with 9
serious message to the Church and TO so
ciety, has not been sufficiently recognized
This omission Mr. Webster has set him
self TO remedy. HIS book Is most inter
esting and instructive and is now passing
through second edition.

THE PERFORMANCES to be given Monday
night, at Lincoln Music Hall, for the
benefit of the Home for lncurables, pre-
sents a legitimate claim TO the recognition
of every humane and enlightened citizen.
The intrinsic merits of the entertainment
will of themselves abundantly repay the
small investment involved and have,
from time to time, received suit
able mention in these columns. But
there is another and higher as
pcct of the case, and it is this aspect to
which, for the moment, we confinc our
selves. The deserving charity, represented
by the Home for Incurablcs, has, for
many years, been under the patronage of
q number of prominent ladies who have
stiivcn faithfully and enthusiastically to
place il upon solid and enduring basis.
AS one means to tins end they have or
ganized the entertainment in question,
thus afrording an opportunity to the
charitably-disposed to aid most worthy
and admirable cause while helping them
selves to thoroughly delightful ex-
perience.

Times whose musical critic has been
mighty fluent with phrases of contempt
for anything with melody in 1t, I'M
burdens its mind in an editorial of great
length and unmistakablc self-gratulation.
The fact is that New York has been
heartily tired of Wagner for some years,
but, for fear OF having its estheticism
questioned, has refused to confess. Now
that the plunge has been taken, it is
amusing to observe the relief and delight
of the New Workers.

SrcRfr,RY TRAcYs last letter to Com
mandcr RElrrR will, perhaps, not change
the views of those who are already COM
mitted to an antagonism of his course in
the matter, but it will certainly convince
all unpreiudiced people that there are two
sides TO the controversy, and that the
Secrotary's is the stronger of the two.
Discussing this question some days ago,
THE CmnC ycnturcd the suggestion that
IL might be well to wait before finally de-
Gliding that Secretary Tracy was wrong. II
occurred to us that there might be some
facts, then undcvcloped, without n lnowl-
edge of which it would be impossible to
reach an intelligent judgment. The pro-
piiety of this suggestion is fully Illus
trated by Mr.. TRACY's letter. He shows
that Commander REITER has not been
treated harshly or summarily; that he
was informed as to the grounds Of the De-
partment's dissatisfaction and invited to
make supplementary report; that he
failed to offer any explanation on the
points referred to; and, finally, that
in his personal interview with the Secre-
tary he made the case worse against him
self by admissions and statements of facts
not previously known to the Secretary.
Altogether, Commander REITER cannot be
said to have the best of the controversy.
lie has not been condemned without a
hearing but has, on the contrary, neg
lected the opportunity to obtain one
which the Secretary offered him. As re-
CARDS the justice of the Secretary's rebuke,
the presumptions are all in that officials
favor; and in any event, it would lead to
strange condition of affairs If subordi-
nate could, whenever he disapproved of
his superior officers action, ask for and
obtain court-martial to decide between
them

VIZ ARE NOT SURPRISED that the eloquent
member from Kentucky, Mr.. BRECKEN-
RIDGE, should protest against that silly
phrase, "The New South" 1t is the coin
age of maudlin after-dinner gush, and
means simply nothing at'all. Mr.. HENRY
w. GRADY, with whom the term was, we
believe, original did not intend it to be
taken seriously. He was man who
dealt in metaphors and flowers of speech.
lie did not seriously think that his grace
ful and melodious periods contained
new revelation. lie knew-he must have
known-that he proposed nothing which
had not been proposed before, and by
men like LEE, GoRDoN, Ben HILL and
others who led the Southern cause when
he was in his swaddling clothes. No omau
of any sense of responsibility or with in-
tclligence one grade above that of q
canary bird, emerged from the "War of
the Rebellion" with any idea of going
into another or of repudiating the
logic of the one Just concluded.
When Mr.. GRADY, mellowd by a
large and juicy dinner, got up before the
New England Society and delivered that
famous speech of his, he may have said
what to some of his hearers had the
charm of novelty, but he said nothing as
TO the hopes and purposes and the convic'
tons of the South which had not been az
truly said by others fifteen years before. He
was not the apostle of a new departure. He
exploited no recently organized propa-
ganda. lie said simply what was in the
heart of every sensible Southerner, and
had been there before he began to make
speeches. 1t was an old song, though
doubtless with new sweetness in its ca
dcnces and a previously unheard ti0'brs in
in the singers voice. Mr.. BnEcKEHRIDGF
is right. There is no New South"

COMMISSIONERS Ross AND Robert have
earned and will receive the commenda-
ton Of the Washington public. In antag-
onizing and defeating the absurd PROPOSE
ton to limit the saloons in the District to
four hundred they have done what com
mon sense indicated and what every con-
sideration Of justice and propriety re-
quired, There was absolutely no reason
why the number should be limited to four
hundred any more than to seventeen or
TO one thousand one hundred and sew
enty-fye. If II be right to have any
saloons at ALL it Is right to have as many
us the people want and will sup
port. II it be wrong to have more
than four hundred, it is wrong
To have a single one. The four hundred
idea is simply caprice, destitute OF wis
dom or judgment. In taking this action
and thus doing away with an oppressive
and irrational freak, Messrs. Ross and
RoBrlr have fully illustrated THE Carries
proposition that our local government,
though not chosen directly by the people,
is as thoroughly in sympathy with public
feeling and as Immediately amenable to
intelligent public opinion as If ii were.

1t is gratifying to note the wonderful
progress made by our readers in this most
interesting and useful science. All the
letters received show decided improve
ment on the part of the students, and the
last prize offer, which was warmly con-
tested for brought forth nearly five hun
dred letters, two-thirds Of which were cor

AS predicted in the Introductory article,
the young people, who have carefully
followed the course, are now able to write
rapidly and accurately any word in the
English language. THE Critic has re-
ceived deserved praise from every quarter
on its new departure as popular educa-
