The official news from Argentina which
we printed last week. containing the declara-
tion that the rebellion was suppressed and
peace restored. is confirmed by dispatches
now at hand. The Government feels strong
enough to put an end to martial law in those
places in which 1t had been proclaimed. and to
provide a measure Of amnesty under which
many prisoners will be set at liberty.
As late as the month Of August the rebels
seemed to have a very good chance OF success:
and. had they been able to win over the navy.
they could have driven President PENA from
Buenos Ayres and seized the reins Of power.
But both the army and the navy remained
loyal to the Government, while the rebels
were prevented from concentrating their
forces and could not 60 beyond desultory
fighting in the discontinued provinces. There
is no doubt that great majority OF the popu-
lation Of the republic favored the established
Government as against the rebels who sought
its overthrow.

OF this city. Substantially 1t is plea thatin

In this exceptionally charming piece Of

New Methods for Indian Schools.

Commissioner BROWNING has properly
given great prominence to the subject Of
education in his first annual report upon
the American Indians. His seven months
Of Office have been singularly devoid OF any
but routine incidents. Neither wars nor
rumors Of wars have been current. nor were
hostilities ever less apprehended than to-
day. They may break out here or there
Of course. but the main Indian problem has
in these times been changed from the pro-
lection Of the pioneer to the training Of the
red man to self-support and citizenship;
and the great element In solving that prob
lem must be the education of the young.
II we look back a dozen years the enor-
nous advance made in the Indian school
system will be apparent. In 1882. the ag-
gregate average attendance at all the
schools was 4,O66; in 1884. it had become
6.115: two years later it had increased to
1890: in the year 1890. to 12.232; the follow
ing year to 1868; last year to 15.167; while
now Mr.. BROWNING puts 1t at 1888. To
appreciate fully this gain we must remem-
Der that the Indian population has been
nearly stationary in numbers. while the
school attendance has quadrupled in twelve
years. The entire school enrolment shows.
of course similar gains. the number year
before last being 1926. last year 19.9O7. and
this year p, 1873.
Within twelve years. also. the number of
schools has more than doubled. and the an
nual appropriations OF Congress have In
creased many fold. In 1877 the sum voted
for schools was only $4,000; even twelve
years ago it was only $685. 900; but In 1888 1t
had reached $l.179.916; two years later 1t
became 81 1884, ITO; then it advanced to ST.
291 $50. although last year the exigencies Of
the Treasury caused decrease from the
highest mark.
Again. the religious bodies that support
mission schools, against S22S. 1853 five years
before. Congress makes an allowance for
each pupil maintained In these mission
schools. and with church funds also to rely
upon they can accept a cheaper rate from
the Government than it would have to pay
In its own schools. 80 that the benefit is

In the common cause,
But while such figures are interesting
there are other points to note in Mr..
BRowNNG's report. He would make the
schools of the reservations, often at great
distance, simply advanced schools for pupils
who have gone nearly or quite through the
course in reservation schools. The argu-
ment for taking children away when young
is that of educating them among civilized
surroundings while still easily influenced.
But Mr.. BROWNING considers 1t more i'm
portant to treat non-reseryation schools as
higher institutions. transfer to which

Samuel j. kirkwood. former Governor. has

State Committee has given no answer. De-
mands for Jaokson's withdrawal from tho
ticket come from all parts Of the State. Tho
Dubuque Times and the Muscatine journal
tell him to explain or step down. The
Times Is supposed to voice Senator Allison's
views. Congressman Hull and Hager
were SO strongly in favor OF Jackson's re-
tirement that Gen. James 4 Clarkson was
summoned. Clarkson appeared Indignant
over the failure Of last years State Committee
to discover this scandal. which. however. was
brought to view. but quickly hushed UP. when
jackson ran for Secretary Of State in 1884.
Clarkson advised against Jackson's with
drawal because 1t would greatly weaken the
chances OF another candidate. If one could be
found. There are no bids for the place. and 1t
Is probable that Jackson will run 1t out as far
as tho distance flag. Clarkson is laughing in
his sleeve. He will leave for New York soon
and let the Iowa Republicans fight 1t out as
best they can. He has now forgotten the
methods used In turning him down last year.

The attempt to sail the third race OF the
series between the British cutter Valkyrie and
the Yankee sloop Vigilant for the Americas
Cup. resulted in failure The start was de-
layed for two hours on account Of q lack Of
wind and the meeting would have been post
poned altogether had not Lord DuNRAvEN. the
owner OF the cutter refused his assent to post
ponement.
Having gotten away finally, the yachts had a

breeze. because first one and then the other
had the better OF IT. while the two we're usually
very close together. In the end, however. the
Yankee proved her worth In even the lightest
breath by fairly crossing the cutters bows.
Lord DuNRAvEN was unQuestionably right in
asking for trial. His only hope Of winning q
race was In covering the course In some such
breeze as prevailed yesterday. but the event
OF the trial justified the judgment Of tho
Racing Committee In desiring postponement.
Very likely his lordship will say that his fall
ing into the wake Of the Yankee Yesterday
was due. as was the Yank ee' failure on Thurs
yachtsmen can afford to assent to this state
ment. but they have still this consolation in
comparing the two days: Tho Vigilant has at
least redeemed herself for any apparent ad-
vantage that the valkyrie had on that day af-
ter both got away for the stakeboat close
hauled.
There Is probably not q yachtsman who has
seen the yachts together at all their meetings
but now believes in the superiority Of the
Vigilant over the Vakyrie.

Announcing Bishop wIgger's liability to
Visit Father COrrIEan's Church,
The Rev. Father Corrigan. pastor Of the
Church OF Our Lady OF Grace in Hoboken. has

make his annual visitation to the parish. Last
Monday was the date fixed for the visitation.
The Bishop did not make his appearance. and
Father Corrigan got no word from him.
Father Corrgan had announced to his congre-
cation on Sunday that the Bishop would be
there the next day to pay his annual official
visit. There was a large attendance at the
church Monday night. and the failure Of the
Bishop to appear was disappointment to the
people. il not to Father Corrignn. The strained
relations between the Bishop and Father Cor
rignn gave the matter more Significance than
it would otherwise have.
