AS TIE REGULAR weekly service of
prayer, held last night in the basement of
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, a member of the congregation
felt himself called upon to upbraid Til:
CRITIC because of its editorial remarks,
yesterday, on Saloons and Licenses"
The gentleman thought The Carrie sim
fully astray in taking sides with wicked
ness and vice. and expressed his sorrow
over our moral and journalistic delin-
qucncy. But is he quite sure he under
stands the question raised by The CRIrI,,
or that he even understands the qucsti ia
raised by the Commissioners? There
has been no controversy as to
whether liquor shall or shall not
he sold-thc controversy has been a.
10 what particular persons shall be
allowed 70 sell it. TIE Critic did not
touch upon the propriety or benedcence
Of the liquor traffic, nor indeed was that
matter under consideration at District
Headquarters, How, then, could THE
CnTTIc have taken the side of Evil, when
Evil was not party to the discussion?
The truth of the matter is that TIE CRIGI0
did not see then and does not see now
why, since the Commissioners were
licensing scores Of rum-shops in every
part Of the town, they should refuse or
even hesitate TO grant licenses TO such
iirst-class places as the Lpsekam, Welc,-
ers, ShoOnaker's, Johnson's and others,
all of the highest standing and reputl-
ton. TO refuse is manifest injustice;
10 hesitate is an injurious imputation.
The gentleman who condemned TdE
cRITIc in the New York-Ayenue Church
last night has misapprehenied the true
nature of the issue. He owes Tms Cawl,

The Indian Question.
Ir0Ul me- Nam yorE Tyibuue


Much that is foolish, ill-advised and
false has appeared in print concerning our
dealings with the Sioux Nation since the
recent troubles obtruded the Indians upon
public attention. 1t is being continually
said that the Indians are starving that
this is the principal cause of their discon-
tent. and that their hardships are mainly
due to the incompetence and knavery of
Indian Agents There is just enough of
fact in this statement to render it difficult
to impress the public mind with the full
and actual truth. As an explanation of
what is occurring it is short and simple.
1t accords with what has happened in the
past, and the public naturally inclines to
receive it as sufficient. But in effect 1t is
wholly misleading. 1t is an indictment
Of the American people which they do
not deserve. So far as il is true it would
probably be true even If the Indians were
without grounds of reasonable discomfort,
and ii places the blaine of our shortcom-
inps where no blame exists,

Perhaps Mr.. Porter is one of those cccen-

therefore, can take no interest in it. He
should have been told, however, that the

want TO know IL there is ever TO be a re

The Ironton smotherinr Case.

is still excited over the smothering OF
George Hamilton's three children yester-

creased today when the coroner refused TO
hold an inquest, declining to give his
reasons therefor. A body of leading citi-

take some action in the case, but he wa.
not at home. 1t is alleged that Georgs
Hamilton, the father. has acted indiffer-
emily since his ehildren's death. Bitter
comments are made on this fact.
