When arises the next big difference Of
opinion between the nations copper-tlnted
wards and the nation itself there will be at
least one white man in the United States
who can fairly claim exemption from the
scalp-lifting operations of the sanguinary
savage and who will have reason for re-
sarding himself as safe from the possible
assaults of blood-thirsty hostiles. The
fortunate individual is William s. Holman,
chairman of the House committee on In
dian affairs. The average aborigine hates
all manner Of what civilized man calls edu-
cation, detests the elements Of mental pol
ish and regards with unconcealed disdain
those scholastic requirements of which
many cultured people are so properly proud;
he believes in beef and blankets and to-
bacco and whisky, and II Is the most prom
inent of his cardinal doctrines that the gov
eminent should furnish him with as much
Of the two former as he needs. He hates
with hatred almost limtless any institution
which insists that his ancient ideas are
wrong, but clings with all the fervor of an
affectionate brother to him who agrees with
him as to the utter uselessness of all efforts
to improve the Indian mind. Therefore the
old Indian will dote on Mr.. Holman, for Mr..
Holman's dislike for schools seems to be of
about the same quality as the dislike which
the Indian never hesitates to make appar-
emit. The Indian appropriation bill for last
year authorized the disbursement of 81, S54,-
240.3S. This year the commissioner of In
dian affairs-instructed to economic
wherever economy was possible-kept his
estimates to s6.931, 1861. The amount ap-
propriated by this years bill is s6611 ,26O. 49,
or nearly $4,000 less than the extremely
small estimate. 1t will be interesting for
the student of Indian affairs to examine the
estimates and the bill and see what branch
of the service will have to suffer most OF
the three hundred and nineteen thousand
odd dollars, more than two hundred and
seventy thousand dollars have been saved
by the elimination of educational PROPOSE
uons-a piece OF statesmanship which will
bring joy to the tepees of those with whom
Representative Holman has Joined hands

their friend in Congress for his opposition

from Indiana will either personally or by
proxy be received into several tribes and be

Information from the land where Kala-

kings and queens of a less animated kind
indicates that the royalists in the almost

The remarks of Judge Miller yesterday in
the trial of Gen Coxey and his followers,
Browne and Jones. will receive the heartiest
commendation and support from every
right-minded American, and yet the most
outspoken Coxeyite could not take offense
at what he said. He was Just and fair to
all classes of people. and when he declared
that the safeguard OF American institutions,
OF citizens of all classes. of the workingrnen
and the poor. lies in the observance of laws
in their integrity, he gave utterance to a
truth that is so evident that it ought not to
escape the notice Of the most near-sighted
Of lawmakers. He successfully defended
the court and it's officers from the charge
that the prosecution of these three men for
violation of a police ordinance was in any
sense an insidiouS attack upon the inherent
and constitutional rights OF the American
people. Senator Allen and the members of
Congress who were associated with him in
the case were courteousIy listened to, but
Judge Miller hit the nail squarely on the
head when he remarked that much of what
they said had little or no bearing on the
case. They denied that Congress had the
right to decide that there were certain
places where the right to assemble and petit
ton might not properly be enjoyed. But as
Judge Miller said, one might as well claim
the right to assemble and petition In the
Senate chamber itself or In Mr.. Aliens back
yard. against his consent. AT this time
above all Others" said Judge Miller, 'it
would be well for every man to study the
American Constitution, for that document
above all things else urges obedience to law
and order" This Is true beyond all question
and the more 1t is observed the better II will
be for the country generally.

OF all the strikes that have ever taken
place in this country no other one has
had less OF popular sympathy than the
strike of coai-miners which Is now on.
There are times when the exercise of
the privilege OF quitting work has in it
many of the elements OF propriety, for
there are tyrannical employers. and protests
are occasionally necessary and right; but
Il passes the understanding of most people
why more than two hundred thousand
miners should go out on a strike just now.
The past twelve months have been filed
with trouble for the business interests Of
the country. There has been and still is
unexampled depression in almost every line
Of industry. Distrust has troubled the ma
tional mind. money has FASTENED into profit
less and trade-paralyzing seclusion, and, as
a natural sequence, misery has taken UP its
residence in thousands of homes where Its
Eauut shape had never before been seen.
And yet while the great popular outcry was
for work, these miners forsook their en-
ployment and deliberately entered the ranks
OF the idle and the suffering. Many of the
strikers were doubtless illy-paid. and 1t Is
conceded by the operators that there are in
equalities IN the wage-scale, but at this pc
Rod II would seem as though industry which
was recompensed at from 81 to 81 per day
was Infinitely preferable to complete Idle
ness and a condition closely akin to pauper-
ISM But bad as is this state of affairs for
the miners themselves. there is a condition
Infinitely worse confronting a much greater
number Of people who are now at work and
who want to continue so. As a natural re-
suit OF the coal strike. the price OF fuel has
moved upward, while the supply has dimin-
fsned to such an extent that in less than
another week very many manufacturing
establishments will be compelled to shut
down. many railroads be forced to discharge
thousands OF their laboring forces, many
vessels remain uselessly moored to empty
Eharves. No one who loves his fellow-man
can view without concern this probability
of greatly augmented distress. Cannot
soma compromise be speedily reached?

People who read the newspapers quite
closely will doubtless remember how fire.
quently and willingly members of the New
York police force commented on the ina
bility of their London brethren to capture
that prince of murderers, whose only cog
nomen was Jack the Ripper" Indeed, IL

could hardly do otherwise than believe that
all mystifed and terrified London had to do

to ask Superintendent Byrnes why 1t is
that his sleuths, who were forever and at
long range showing how easy it was to
capture the Ripper" have failed to find
out the truth as to three rather notable
homicides that have occurred recently. A
little girl well known to many people and
clad in garments which could be identified
beyond question lost her life at the hands
of some villain. but for a million dollars
the police could not tell who the villain
was. Miss Martha Fuller, a typewriter
died from pistol wound, and today, after
weeks devoted to what seems to have been
investigation, the author of her death is
still unknown. Gottlieb Grob was muir
derd in house, every room of which was
occupied at the time of the crime. but the
murderer is till free. What is that scrip
tural reference to the mote which is in our
brothers eye?

who insist upon material amendment Of the
measure now before the Senate. The pill
does not in any way resemble the legislation
which was outlined 80 clearly by the Chi
cago convention, and the income-tax feature,
to which Senator Hill SO strenuously and
properly objects. Is not in accord with the
declarations Of either Of the two big political
parties. The populists favor It, but there
ID no reason why any straight-out dem
ocrat or republican should do else than
speak and work and vote against the most
unfair and impracticable variety Of taxa
ton ever proposed. Laying aside every
other consideration and paying no attention
to the charges that the tax would be a
sectional one and productive of class differ
ences. 1t Is enough to know, and to know
beyond question. that there Is no necessity
for the revenue which would be produced.
II the tariff and internal-revenue estimates
as presented by Senator VOORHEES, are cor
rect. there will be a sufficiency Of revenue
without that which 1t Is calculated would be
produced by the tax which Senator Hill and
other democrats are being SO roundly
abused for opposing. Complicated officlll
machinery will be needed before a dollar of
tax can be squeezed from unwilling citizens.
and put of this unwillingness, already very
apparent, offensive situations win develop
until the government, through its tax-col-
lecting representatives will really become
odious to good and loyal citizens who deserve
much more of consideration at the hands Of
the law-making powers than they have been
getting recently. Senator Hill is by no
means Invariably risht-in fact. he is fire.
quently wrong-but he stands on solid
ground when he assails the income-tax
proposition.

An important item In the MANAGEMENT of
any modern business adjustment depend
ent FOR success on the patronage of the
public is that Of advertising. Merchants
lay out money In advertising for the DUR
pose Of getting returns by attracting the
attention of the public to the goods they
nave to sell. An advertisement then il an
Investment. and a very good investment. IL
one uses the same judgment in making IL.
as he would ordinarily use In investing in
real estate, or In any other commodity.
No careful business man would buy a stock
or goods without knowing exactly what he
Is buying, and a Judicious advertiser will
not invest In advertising without fnforna-
ton as to the extent of publicity he will
receive for his money. The Evening Star
Tor the benefit OF those who are patrons or
intending patrons of its advertising COL
unns, has always published the fullest de-
tails of its circulation, so those who made
Use of its advertising columns could calcu-
late for themselves exactly what they were
getting in the way of publicity. There has
never been any uncertainty about it; never
time when an advertiser was simply risk
ing money on faith in some general boast
unsustained by figures. of a large and in
creasing circulation. A comparison, which
has just been made of the circulation of
The Star during the month of April, with
the number Of homes in the CITY, makes
showing surprising even to the publishers
Of The Star, who while they knew that its
circulation more completely covered the
local field than that of any newspaper in
the world. did not fully realize what is de-
monstrated to be the fact. that The Star
goes practically to every home in the city
where newspaper readers, and especially
the class of readers whom advertisers most
desire to reach. are found. The interesting
comparative statements are given in de-
tail on another page. and are printed by
The Star in fairness to its advertisers, who
are entitled to know with certainty the
measure of publicity which they buy.

atives the news Of the Senator's death was

until the Coxeyites had left the grounds,
that the early adjournment might not be
misconstrued. Then the announcement was
made and the House adjourned. The Senate
