THEINDIAN SOLDIERS,

Seven troops and companies of Indian soldiers have been formed since the War department decided to see what could be done in this line. And, as might be ex- pected, there is a decided difference of opinion concerning the value of Indians as soldiers and the wisdom of thus using them. General Miles, who knows some thing about Indians, is strongly opposed to the War departments scheme "The regular army of the United States" says General Miles, ''is not Kindergarten or g school, and 1 do not believe it wise to en- list in the service Indians who have little knowledge of the civilization of the whites. The strong point of the army is that every soldier is a patriot who loves the flag and will fight for it under all circumstances" On the other side is report from the adju tant generals office, highly commenting the Indian soldiers of the regular army in the southwest. It is declared that they have made excellent progress in military drill and that they compare favorably with the white troops. Competent and interest ing testimony on this side of the dispute is also given by Lieutenant s. c. Robert son of the First cavalry, who commands one of the troops of Indian soldiers. He is enthusiastic in his praise of his troopers and he says: Put him (the Indian) in on @ of these new troops; teach him pride in being soldier of the government, and that the government relies on him for it's safety and protection; make him feel that the white soldiers around him are his comrades, and he as good as they; explain to him the reason of things; give him healthy and congenial employment; treat him as an independent rational being and a man; cease trying to promote his conf dence in you and his progress by talking to him about his soul-and you will soon have a result astonishingly different to the accepted idea of his race.
 The Indians have shown great capacity for fighting as irregular cavalry, and it is reasonable to think that they will do well as regular soldiers. It will seem to most people very sensible thing to take some of these restless. warlike red men and in making soldiers out of them make them at the same time allies and friends.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Within short time two communica- tions have appeared in your paper relative to the Winchester Avenue Horse railroad. Both of them complain of suffering by reason of the miserable way that the so- called ''road" has been managed. I agree with these writers. It seems to me that it would be a good plan to present the source of our misfortunes with medals made of good sole leather as tokens of our appreciation of the bungling way this enterprise has been conducted. Those of us who chance to live long enough may yet see the cars running and at the same time s,e it's managers loudly chuckling over their swift achievement

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The president of the Old Colony rail road is asking the Massachusetts legisla- ture for permission to try electricity as a motive power on the roads under his man. agement.
 They are certainly trying to have prohi- bition in Maine. The grand jury for single county there has just brought in more than two hundred indictments against men who were charged with selling intoxi- eating liquor.
 The Massachusetts board of health finds that more than three per cent. of the wall papers manufactured to-day contain more than one-tenth grain of arsenic per square yard against 30 per cent. ten years ago. The "unglazsd and plated" papers in toy shops and kindergarten schools are most of them highly arsenical. Paris green is also found in card board for tickets and in | colored tissue paper. Of the cotton fabrics analysed, 60 per cent. were non-arsenical and IS per cent. contained more than one- tenth of grain per square yard.
 Shoot him. An editor of the Bac- teriological World, Dr. J. H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, Mich, says civilized women have quite as great fondness for deform- ing themselves as even the ssvages who put bone pendants through their lips and delight in the nose-ring. That interesting deformity, the small, corset compressed waist, is Dr. Kellogg's special detestation, ! ha for fn hot Langtry, whose height ought to inspire women to emulate her proportions, has a a waist so out of proportion that the Venus of Milo would turn up her nose at it.
 John A. Mccall, tie new president of the New York Life Insurance company, will in all probability soon restore the company to it's old standing. The policy holders are much relieved by his election. He has fine record. During his service in the New York State insurance depart ment scores of fraudulent insurance com panies were driven out of business, their officers indicted and sent to prison, and the business generally received salutary shaking up.
