GENERAL MILES REBUKED.

General MILES, the commander of the
department, suspended General FORSYTH
from his command because of the latter's
management of the Wounded Knee fight
TWAS said at the time that the bad manage
ment consisted of the shooting down and
clubbing by FoRsYTHs soldiers, of squaws
and children, many of whom were found
dead on the field of the fight and among
the hills whittier they had been pursued by
the troops. If half that has been published
concerning that fight is true General
MILES not only did right in
suspending FORSYTH, but the last
named should be removed from the army
An officer who will permit the butchery of
women and children such as has been
charged in this case, ought not to be en-
trusted with the command of soldiers, for
while fighting is barbaric, this is HUI
name age and enc in which the killing OF
women, even though those women are
squaws, will be approved by nobody.
But here come the President and the
secretary of war with their Official disap-
prevail of the action of General MILES,
which is equivalent to the sustaining of
FORSYTH n all that he did at Wounded
Knee. 1t is presumed that HARRISON and
PROCTOR had before them as guide in ar
irving at conclusion all the facts in the
case. FORSYTH, of course, goes back to his
command fully indicated; but VIII at be-
comes of MILES, who is placed in an IN
enviable attitudel The findings of the
President and the war secretary must be
accepted as direct rebuke of MILES, de-
claring him guilty of bad Judgment or con
victing him of being guided in his action
by personal malice towards FORSYTH, In
either case he is censurable, and the cen
sure should come direct rather than by i'm
plication, as in the official disap-
proval of his course with his in
ferlor officer. Too much or too little
has been said and done in this matter, and
we are inclined to think it is too little. We
are disposed to believe that General MILES
set out to ''cut DASH" his object being
something more than brush with the al
most helpless Indians. He was really to dc
or undertake anything which would cause
him to be talked about, even to the extent
Of blasting a brother officer. He imagined
he heard the gentle buzzing of the Presi
Dental bee, and hoped to encourage the in
sect until the buzzing grew loud enough to
be heard by others. This is our opinion oil
MILES, and this is why we think he encour.
aged if he did not force the Indians into as
Stunning an attitude suggestive of war, ant
why he kicked General Forsyth.

THE CRIME OF BELIEF.

The most dangerous doctrine that one
hundred years of American politics have
produced is that which was recently advo-
Gated by Governor THOMAS for the purpose
of DISTINGUISHING the majority of the people
of Utah.
1t was this: The majority of the people
of Utah are adherents of an unpopular
faith, which, in the opinion of certain pol
iticians, disqualifes them for the exercise
of the rights and duties of American citi-
zenship 1t should also be added that the
few holding this opinion. were those that
expected to profit most by the disfranchise-
ment of three-fourths of the qualified voters
of Utah. The governor, for example, would
gain immense power if such legislative
revolution could be carried out, for he
would then have the distribution of num-
Der of very important Offices.
1t is not now commended that the people
whose political degradation and enslave-
ment is thus talked of, are law-breakers;
for they are by the most astonishing con-
trast the most law abiding people of the
territory; nor that they are rebellious or
otherwise disgraceful. It is commended that
there is in their religious faith or belief,
some peculiar condition of mind, an indie
Unable something in the character of this
people, for which a general punishment,

THE VICTORY OF 1880.

Some time since the majority OF the Dem
ocratic party IN the elections of last Novem-
Der for Congressman was unofficially given
at something over &c., 900.
We have now the official vote Of every
state as cast during the year 1890, and it
presents the most startling figures in the
history of American politics.
The Democratic majority against the Re-
publicans in 1890 reaches the amazing total
of 919,079! This does not count in the AL
lance votes forthe Democratic party, with
which the popular majority against the
Republicans would be increased fully
100000. These maiorities are those given
for the head of the ticket. The Democratic
maiorities for governor of Pennsylvania and
Oregon, while these states voted Republi-
can for other state officers are fully over
come by the split votes in the west, where
the Republicans won over third party in
Minnesota by only 1851, and are The third
party in Nebraska, where the Democratic
majority is over the third party
The following are the official majorities
in the A states ct the elections of 1890, com.
piled from the almanac just issued by the
New York Tribune, the largest Republican
paper in the country:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-02-13

One OF the most ridiculous suggestions
lately made is that which says the Demo
Gratis and farmers in the Illinois and South
Dakota legislatures are trying to bring
about an arrangement by which they will
combine against the Republicans and send
a Democrat to the United States Senate
from Illinois and farmer from South Da-
kota. 1t is an idle proposition, the bargain
being one which it would be next to i'm
possible to arrange and carry out. And if
the thing were done, what disgraceful
piece of business it would be- The two
Senators would feel almost like criminals,
and they would be little less than Grimm
ais. But the improbability of the thing
makes it idle to talk about it,

INDIGNANT SENATORS.

The Idaho Senators are represented as
being very indignant over the appointment
of JAMES H. BEATTY to the United States
judgeship for the district of Idaho. They
can find no fault with Judge BEATTY: that
is to say, nothing which would run to his
disqualification for the Office They have
to admit that he is fairly good lawyer,
comparing favorably with the ADLER mem
bers of the Idaho bar; it is conceded that
he has made a good record as a federal
Judge under the territorial government, and
it is not alleged that he is not honest. The
secret of their opposition lies in the fact
that they vented the Office for another
man, lawyer politician who has worked
for the party and for the Senators,
aud who is thought to be entitled to his re-
ward in the form of a fat office. The
Senators are fairly frothing at the mouth
in their rage at the President, not because
he appointed an incompetent or unworthy
man who would bring disgrace upon Idaho.
but because the President refused to ap.

The anti -slavery revolution of 1854 is re-
peating itself in the anti tax revolution of
1890. The Republican party cannot afford
to treat lightly the lesson of the last cleo
ton; it must adapt itself to the principle of
reform in taxation or be swept out of ex-
istence. Naturally it will choose the
former alternative as is already indicated
by the weakening of the party along the
whole line of protectionism and the bolt for
free trade disguised under the name of
reciprocity. At all events, the late victoy
of the people against the autocrats and
plutocrats, insures better government and
promises well for the sweeping victory for
reform that IS near at hand.

The death of King Kalakaua has aroused
public interest in Hawaiian affairs. Il was
generally understood thst the prime object
Of Kalakaus's visit to this country WAS to
promote closer relations with the United
States. His death while negotiations were
pending was somewhat unfortunate, because
it is not absolutely certain that the
policy of the Hawaiian government under
his successor will run on precisely
the same lines. But while there is room
for doubt on this head, there is also a
reasonable probability that Kalakaua's
death will not materially change the drift
Of public policy. The Hawaiian Islands
are American in sentiment and sympathy.
Visitors from the United States to Honolulu
feel themselves at home the moment they
land from the steamer. There is nothing
10 the social conditions to remind them that
they are on foreign soil. Hotels and stores
are conducted on the American plan.
American money is the circulating medium
fashioned on the American pattern. and the
Fourth Of July is national holiday. Cor
versely. when q Hawaiian resident visits
America, he finds himself at home in San
Francisco or anywhere else in the Uoitsd
States. The native Hawaiian people
look to America ~ their beat
friend. They received their civihzs-
ton from it, and they have constant inter-
course with it. In other words, they know
that their material prosperity depends upon
the friendship of the United States. But
they are impressionable aud easily led.
This is the weak point in Hawaiian affairs.
Il has been the cause Of the recent trouble
in the islands, And will continue to be
source of uncertainty and weakness while
the Hawaiian rstives continue to be infiu-
enced BY their old traditions and customs.

Watering Plants Ia the House.

Plants while kept in the house are
wholly dependent upon the care and
timely attention of the culturist for
water, which under such conditions is
more than ever necessary element Of
their existence. Sprinkling the surface
of the soil in pots and vases is Of itself
and when the soil is saturated through
out disagreeable drip often follows.
Quite a good plan to facilitate the
watering of plants kept under shelter Is
to have a water-tight zinc pan with a
turned up rim of about two inches, and
the dimensions of the pan to suit the
table or other rest on which it is to be
placed. Then I'LL the pan with pure
sand, on which the pots may be placed.
and the sand being kepta little wet all
the while the moisture evsporated will
not only reduce the amount required by
sprinkling. but will also correct dryness
In the atmosphere of a warm room.
Plants with an abundance of roots
and large, spreading leaves will require
more water In the pots than those of
scantier foliage aud slower growth
While all will suffer from an insufficient
supply. a surfeit of water will be equally
damaging, and by always keeping the
bed OF sand quite moist the soil in the
pots need not be overeharged. Ii will
add greatly to the convenience Of this
arrangement 10 have the table or plat
form carrying the plants mounted on
castors, so that it can be readily moved
from one part Of room to another, as
may be desired.

FARM NOTES.

The late sweet corns are apparently
more stable than the earlier sorts; but
this is because the seed of late sorts,
not maturing far north, is all grown in
the sections where it originated. The
early sweet corns of New England all
rapidly change, in the direction Of infe-
riority, when grown south of Connecti-
cut.
A quick growing crop like the potato,
which has only short time in which to
mature, cannot be grown successfully
unless bountiful supply of all the ele-
ments of plant food is provided; that is,
the greatest yield is attained where the
soil contains an excess Of all the ele-
ments Of plant food In available form
over and above the requirement Of the
plant.
There is no kind of manufacturing
or commercial business done anywhere
that can stand waste like the waste of
manurial matter on our farms. So long
rs that waste continues, farming must
he profitable to those farmers who avoid
it, for the prices of agricultural prod
ucts must be based on their actual cost
under the existing system. II you avoid
part OF that cost, that difference is added
TO your profits.
The potato is mountain or high
table.land plant, and seems commonly
to thrive best upon uplands. Yet, when
planted far enough north, it produces
beautifully, even at near the sea level.
Aroostook county, Maine, which is the
banner county" for potatoes, is ele-
waited but few hundred feet above the
sea. Last year its crop reached beyond
3,000,00 bushels. at the rate of about
III bushels per acre.-Vermont Watch
man.
The farmer who thinks, at this time
of year, that good hay is good
enough for auybody's cows" makes a
costly mistake. Good hay Is an essen.
tial part of cows rations; but hay
alone is far from being the best or the
most profitable feed. This is true OF
dry cows; but much more true of cows
in milk. These should have varied
diet, always inclusive Of some succulent
food, roots or ensilage.
