THE WAR Is OVER.

General MILES, who from the first has
been il command of the operations against
the Indians, reports that the danger has
passed and settlers in the vicinity of the
troubles may return in safety to their
farms. The troops are being sent back to
their posts and the cruel war is over. This
is all very good news and will everywhere
be received with rejoicing. Everybody
will be pleased because no more bucks,
squaws and pappooses are to be slaught
cred. And everybody will sincerely hope
that this viii be the last of the Indian
wars" The way to realize this hope is
through a radical change in the manage
ment of Iudian affairs. In the first place
there should at once be made a full and
thorough investigation of the causes lead
ing up TO the late troubles. If such inves-
tigation shall be made We believe it will
develop condition Of things which will
make certain a revolution in the
Indian management. We believe
the showing will be one of
dishonesty and roguery on the part of the
government and its agents and representa-
tiyes; of broken faith, of deceit, of swim
ding and of downright theft, from all of
which the poor Indians have suffered. We
believe that the direct cause of the late
hostilities was correctly stated by General
MILES at the outset, when he said the
Indians had been starved into rebellion.
They had been thus starved while the gov
eminent was paying for food enough to
feed every man, woman and child all they
could eat.
We also believe the investigation would
disclose so much crookedness and so much
incompetency that the Indian bureau will
be taken out of politics and the manage
ment of the nations wards given into the
hands of the military. If this had been
done years ago most of the trouble with the
Indians would have been avoided and the
red men to day would be prosperous and
progressive instead of the unfortunate crea-
lures that they are, undecided in their own
minds whether it is better to die fighting,
or to yield up their lives after suffering
years of deprivation and want. Only in
theory is our ''Indian policy" correct. In
practice it is little less than infamous. 1t
viii never be anything else than bad SO
long as the system is continued.
The ''war'' which has just come to an
end is disgraceful in the extreme, the re.
Election being on the Washington admins
tration, and not upon the poor soldiers who
were forced to whip the savages back into
subsection after the latter had been driven
into revolt by the cruelties inflicted upon
them But if this war shall result in bring
ing about better treatment of the Indians
neither the aborigines nor the whites viii
regret what has taken place.

THE TwENTY-THREE members Of the
Idaho legislature who have filed protest
against the seating of FRED DURoIs in the
United States Senate mean well enough,
but they are wasting their energy. Under
ordinary circumstances nobody would
think Of admitting DUBOIS to a seat on the
credentials which he has, but the circum
stances are not ordinary. The Republican
party is engaged in death struggle. 1t
has lost the popular branch of Congress
and realizes that it can never regain con-
troll of the House except by force and
fraud. The control of the Senate is fast
passing from the party. Two or three
years more and the Republicans will be in
the minority there as in the House, and
then the jig will be up, so to speak. Mr..
DUBOIS is Republican and may be relied
upon to stand in with his party in all its
meanness. If he were to be denied seat,
the place might be occupied by Demo
crat. 1t is, therefore, easy enough to
understand why he will be sworn in, void
as was his election in fact. Law and pre-
cedent will not count with the Republican
Senators in their present straits.

EVOLUTION OF REASON.

Prof. ST. GEORGE MIvART has wr itten a
work entitled the mental Evolution of
Man. in which he confutes the assump-
ton of Mr.. RoMANEs that human reason
may be evolved from the psychical facul-
ties of the lower animals.
MIR. MIvART says that the conclusion
reached by Mr.. RoMANEs rests upon two
fundamental assumptions, namely o., the
infant shows no intellectual culture, there
fore it has none, and (2) savages are intel
lectually inferior to US in varying degrees,
therefore our ancestors had no intellect
at all.
This, too, is the usual form of the argu-
ment; to which Mr. MIvART correctly an
swers, that we know our infants grow into
rational beings, and we have no reason to
suppose that they undergo, while under
our care, a profound transformation OF
nature. The second assumption is met by
the reioinder that no race of men has been
found destitute of speech, and thence OF
reason, while no animals are found to pos
sess speech.
The theory that the mind. of man is q
gradual development from the intelligence
of brutes, results from the fancy thai
mental development is caused merely from
the action of series of objects upon the
mind, carried a little further in the case O.
man than in the case of brutes. Itassume!
that the mind is a sort of ''series of feel
ings'' or ''bundle of sensations" that tn,
mind is merely blank sheet or mirror
after LoCKE's exploded notion, instead O.
the active, aggressive, thinking, feeling ans
willing agent that we find it to be. Th,
greatest disciple of this theory of mind
Mill, frankly stated that 1t failed to ex
plain the great problem, and that its in
trinsic difficulties made the fact of memoir,
altogether inexplicable. IF we speak @
the mind as series of feelings" said he
1--WE are obliged to complete the statemen
by calling it series of feelings which i
aware of itself"
HERBERT SPENcER's theory conceives O.
the evolution of mind from Inheritance an,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-01-15

Inheritance signifies trans
mission of mind and does not explain its
origin; while association, though prolonged
evolution, does not account in any degree
Tor that original, active, striving activity,
which appears to be an essential, legitimate
endowment of every human being, and
which leads every human being soon to
grasp certain fundamental truths. Inc
knowledge of these truths, says PORTER,
lis occasioned by, but not derived from
experience. 1t is equally clear that ex-
perience does not give them authority"
The fact that every sound human mind
cannot help acting under the ideas of self
consciousness, of time, space, cause, etc.,
is uniformity that amounts to a miracle
in any materialistic explanation; and the
distinguishing features of reasoning,
speech, ideas of right and wrong, of beauty
and truth, separate the human from the
brute mind by so wide a chasm, that de-
velopment from the one to the other seems
to transcend in its improbability the high
est flights of fancy.
The student hears much of psychical
shocks, changes in nerve cells, transmits
sion of impulse, ETC.; aud this darkness
and mystery pass for argument. He begins
to suppose that motion, light, heat and
chemical affinity are in some way the
equivalents of thought; but, as TYNDALL
observes, 1.-THE passage from the physics
of the brain to the corresponding facts of
consciousness is unthinkable. Were our
minds and senses so expanded, strength
ened and Illuminated as to enable us to see
and feel the very molecules of the brain
were we capable of following their motion,
all their groupings, all their electric dis
charges, If such there be; and were we init
mately acquainted with the corresponding
states of thought and feeling,-we should
be as far as ever from the solution of the
problem how are these physical states
connected with the facts of consciousness
How trace in the brain can be trans
muted into conscious memory is the mys
terry to be accounted for, the mystery that
leaves the gulf between mind and matte
quite as wide as it was adiudged to be BY

The truth is that in the study of mind
we come across phenomena not derivablt
from mere matter, nor even wholly limited
by it. The world of moral and Other idea:

and demand different explanation from
that afforded by the speculatons of poetic

also, that philosophers on the one hand
and students of merely physical scenc

other on this question.

IT IS apparent that the Ogden Union is
not disposed TO ask the reelection of the
present Liberal council of that city. The
Union cuts deep with this paragraph:
Quotation from Liberal executive com.
mittees address: HAS anything ever occurred
in Ogden that can compare in good results with
the Liberal victory of February, 1892 Well
of the results of that victory is that for the
first time in the history of this city its current
Indebtedness is being provided for by issuing
warrants which there is no cash in the treasury
to pay, and this, too, after all of last year S
taxes have been collected and turned over to
the treasurer, and nearly ten months before any
more money for taxes win come into the city
treasury. The credit of Ogden city IS as yet IN
impaired, but how would it be after two more
years of such incompetent administration and
miSgoyernment

TO cheaper SILVER.

The organ which tries to champion silver
In this region, does the silver cause great
injury by such talk as the following:
Hence, the anxiety of the world has always
been to get these two metals gold and silver, in
the utmost abundance possible. There has
never been enough in modern times to carry on
the usual business of the world safely. =
But our government stepped in and said:
There is just twice too much money in this
country; we will just as nearly destroy half of
il as possible
The medieval superstition embodied in
the first sentence of the foregoing has been
refuted by every reputable writer on econ
omic subjects that has lived since the time
of ADAM SMITH.
If it be simply abundance of gold or sill
yer that we need in the country, the way is
clear. We can purchase silver now very
cheap and this country produces about one
fourth of the silver product of the world.
Just keep that silver from being exported,
as we have partially done since 1873, with
the result that the purchasing power of
silver has fallen to the same extent that the
foreign demand for it diminished. What
caused the fall in the price of silver?
Principally the refusal of other govern
ments to buy and coin it; partly the discon-
tinuance of silver coinage by our country.
The paper we quote from says it would
make US rich to keep all our silver; that is,
TO keep other countries from buying any of
it, so that its price would go down until il
would require twice as many silver dollars
TO do the business of the country, or to buy
the same amount of anything that it does
now.
Thus it correctly says:
The prices of the products of this world in any
country are measured by the volume of money
In the country; that is, TO double the money in
circulation in country means to double the
price of labor and the products OF labor through
Rl its departments.
But why stop at mere doubling of the
prices? Why not increase them ten-fold OF
hundred-fold by issuing ten times or one
hundred times as much money as we now
use. Prices would then be ten times or a
hundred times higher than they are now; q
So hat would then cost $50 or $500; and &
man who now gets 50 per day would get
wages in the same proportion but he
would still have to work one day for hat,
Just as before, so where is his gain from
doubling or otherwise increasing the vol
ume of money!
But doubling the money in circulation By
keeping silver in the country with which
to do it, means that the price of silver shall
go down one half, SO that it viii take just
two dollars. as the Tribune states, to pur
chase as much as one does now. This Of
course would mean the ruin of silver pro
ducers; and this is the inevitable and only
conclusion from the policy urged by this SO
called silver champion.
Ii it is desirable to initiate the currenc,
one half there is a much simpler way o.
doing it than by boarding our silver till il
seDreclates one-half in its purchasing

DUBOIS sNUBBED.

done so, nominate Judge BEATTY to the
district judgeship of Idaho. In this there
Is double qualification. The office was
wanted by one L. PRICE, sort of lawyer
politicians who has been doing dirty work
for FRED DUBOIS during the past year or
two. DUBOIS undertook to pay for services
rendered with the judgeship, as if he
owned the Office The attorney general
had learned something of PRICES personal
record-learned enough in fact to be con-
WINGED that the fellow was not proper
man to elevate to the judicial bench, and
while Mr.. MILLER has not always been
particular as to mems personal char
acJers he was so in this instance, refusing
to appoint PRICE although DUBOIS and the
two Idaho Senators had recommended and
endorsed him. 1t is gratifying to know
that Idaho will be spared the infiction
and it is gratifying to know that
FRED DUBOIS has been snubbed and given
to understand that while he may carry the
Republican party of Idaho in his trousers
pocket, he is not yet master of the nation.
This may prove valuable lesson to him.
teaching that while it may not matter what
kind of tools he employs to accomplish his
ends in Idaho he will be expected TO recon
mend for Office personally clean men.
The appointment of Judge BEATTY viii
not be distasteful to the better element in
the new state. He is not a great lawyer, it
is true, but he ranks well with the Repub-
lican members of the Idaho bar. While his
opinions viii not be characterized by depth
of legal learning, the judge is an honest and
clean man personally. and litigants will
have implicit confidence in Lis integrity.
BEATTY was chief justice during the las:
year or so of the territory and gave general
satisfaction by his course on the bench.

The assertion that our government de-
stroyed half the money of this country in
1878, is pure fiction. The money of the
country increased from 1870 up to the pres
ent time little faster than the population
increased, being about 81 per head greater
now than it was then. OF course the paper
