To SUPPRESS VICE.

1t may be unjust to prognosti cate
failure before the movement for the
suppression of vice in this city is fairly
inaugurated, but there is nothing in the
proceedings thus far known to the pub
lie to warrant any other conclusion.
II may be, Of course, that the police
will see fit to make an effort TO improve
appearances, under the spur of The pub
licity given to the matter, but il is
already evident that there will be no
pressure brought 10 bear upon the de-
partment that would be sufficiently i'm
perative to compel action.
This is view of the matter that we
regret to entertain, but actualities may
as well be acknowledged now as a few
weeks later. Ii amounts to nothing
practical to persist in taking a false
view of conditions until those condi-
tions emphasize themselves disagree
ably.
The most potent cause for assuming
now that this attempt TO purify the
morals Of the city will be abortive is the
fact that the clergymen are not united,
and, so far as has been revealed, but
few Of them are ready to lend their in
fuence to a determined movement to
suppress the vice that is as well known
TO the police as it can be to anyone.
What is needed in this matter, IL any
thing is attempted, is some steps taken
to furnish evidence that will be recog-
nized by the courts as sufficient to war
rant punishment AS provided by law. IL
is almost impossible for the police TO se-
cure such evidence, and il is no more
their duty TO attempt il than it is the
duty Of any citizen. They should be
used as the instruments Of the courts in
prosecutions based upon evidence of cit

INDIAN TERRITORY.

The question as to the opening of the
Cherokee land in Indian Territory is as
perplexing a one as could be found. The
solution of it is apparently impossible
on any grounds of equity. The Indians
hold the land in fee simple by virtue of
their treaty with the United States.
They are entitled to have that treaty
preserved inviolate.
On the other hand 1875, 900 whites are
now living or Indian Territory land.
On the same land are only $4,000 In-
dians. The Indians are of course en-
tirely free from the United States super
vision. They have no forms OF law that
are at all adequate. Their country has
become an asylum for brigands, muir
derers and renegades of all sorts. We
have, therefore as Senator Platt says,
the anomalous condition of govern
ment within the United States entirely
distinct from our Federal government,
and subject to no law except those of
Indian making and execution. The
reputable Indians and whites want
some more stable arrangement and
some means of dispensing justice to the
lawless. They realize that the only
way TO accomplish that end is to sub
ject themselves to the laws of the
United States.
Such course involves the disregard
of their treaty rights, and the issue is
whether It is better for the United
States TO viol~ee those treaty rights and
seize the land by assumed right of em-
inent domain, or whether il would be
better TO allow things TO continue until
the country is forced to act. The legal
points are all with the Indians. But
the fact still remains that the Indians
do not use the land that they allow the
whites TO take up residence upon.
They have thousands of acres which
they do not now use, and never will.
The march of civilization demands that
something be done So that the whites
now dwelling there shall be protected
by the United States. Their side Of the
question is interesting. They are
largely an industrious class. They
want to improve the land and make
homes for themselves and their families.
Their aim Is high and II ought 20 be
possible for that aim 10 be accomplished

rightfully complain of would be at once

What is needed is steady pressure
upon lawbreakers. They must be made
TO continually feel healthy and justi-
fed terror of the law they seek to set at
naught. 1t is idle to expect that this
result can be attained BY public, or
semi-public, meetings and protests, or
by a committee of one hundred, unless

AS I WAS SAYING.

Reporters are many times given sug-
gestions unsolicited, sometimes TO their
disgust and sometimes TO their amuse-
ment and profit.
old, white. bearded man came to the place
where two newspaper scribes were sitting
and said:
Reporters :"
YES"

though the Blackstone river was on fire.

There were three persons in horsecar
the other night who furnished plenty of
amusement for the other passengers.
One was a young man. lie sat at the
corner and sleepily looked at the passen-
gers. After n while his head nodded and
he was soon wrapped in slumber. Several
loud snores made one OF his beholders
say something about trombone solo :"
and the others laughed. Thls woke the
young man, and he looked particularly
savage during the remainder of his
journey.
In the other corner there sat fashion
ably dressed young woman who read,
with evident interest, the Family Story
Paper. A pleasant smile fitted over her
features and she seemed to be reading
of the heroine clasped in Archibald's
5 rong arms. She seemed To feel the
pressure OF his muscle against her own
corset bones. Then her face would
lengthen and the tears almost start in
her eyes aud she seemed TO read that
1.-THE william still pursued her."
zE
Between the two sat a young lady with
a long neck, protruding teeth aud large
eyes. She craned her neck, still further,
protruded her teeth and strained her
ogling eyes at the young woman. She
read the title OF the paper and bounced
around the other way only to hear the
young man snors. With disgust de-
picted on every feature she sprang from
her seat and fiounced out of the car.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The next session of the General AS
sembly of Rhode Island, which will be-
gin the last day of January, has for its
consideration several very important
matters. The revision of the state
laws, including the Judiciary system,
is the most important.
A commission has been working on
the matter and has made reports which
have been considered partially and
some amendments made. A good deal
of ill-feeling has existed over the work
on account of the idea of Democrats
that they ought to oppose whatever a
Republican Assembly has in hand.
The revision of the Judiciary is in no
sense political matter and ought to be
considered aside from party bias and
in the interest of the people of the State.
The work of the commission is undoubt-
edly conscientious and painstaking, and
If amendments are to be made they
should be made only on lines calculated
to improve the revision and not to gain
party advantage.
Democrats are inexcusable in max
ing any party opposition to the work of
the commission, but all fair criticism of
the report is of advantage.
The whole revision ought to be gotten
through at once.
Perhaps the assembly may take some
action to remove defects in the Austria
lian ballot law. There are evidently de-
fects enough at present.
