To THE EDITOR OF THE sUS-Sir: Col. Rob-
ert lngersoll in a recent lecture renewed his at
tacks upon the Bible and incidentally the Chris
tain religion.
His adherence of the crueities practised by
the jews as recorded in the Bible, and his as
sertion that the God who would sanction or
permit such acts in His name is not entitled
to the love or even the respect of the human
race, are familiar to all of US who have followed
the genial Colonel for the past few wears,
Few there are who are willing TO claim hat the
Wholesale butcherles referred TO are satisfsetory
proofs Of the Divine character OF the book or
any cause for satisfaction. N

A Crazy Suggestion.

Tn proposition that the Police Depart
ment shall be put under the absolute au-
thority Of a single military Commissioner, Is
hardly worth discussing, because no sane
Legislature, whatever its political complex
ion, would give IL a moments serious con-
alteration. 1t il only OF curious interest as
revealing the total political incapacity and
practical ignorance OF the men to whom 1t
appeals as a valuable discovery in the art Of
municipal government.
The plan Is that the Police Department
should be put under an army officer of West
Point training, with absolute power -
that IL should be organized under him on n
strictly military basis; and that he should
b a comparatively young man. remova-
BILE only on charges and after a hearing.
Once In his place, this young soldier should
Be allowed to mould the department &C
oording to his own IDEAS II should
b allowed to constitute his commissary de-
partment and his court, and nothing should
b predetermined by law to deprive him
of the powers Of appointment. disposition,
promotion, and removal" Whatever else
such an organization might be, 10 would not
b military, but directly opposed to the
military system, under which no such
power can be exercised by any officer.
The army contains many able and clever
young officers, but there Is no one of them
who has been raine In the exercise of such
nmitless n autOcratic authority, for 10
none Is IL intrusted; and by none could it
b exercised under the system OF military
organization in this country, or any other.
Moreover, no young officer OF the army has
had the practical experience in the manage
msnt OF great bodies Of men which would
specially qualify him for taking such control
OF the police. Only the older officers who
served In the civil war, like Gen. MILES for
instance, have had that training in the actual
pursuit Of their profession. The smallness

since the war have confined the younger
men 10 posts where they have had com
pAratively few troops to deal with. III this

olvilians and not soldiers; leaving out the

great organizers are now engaged in the en-
tsFprises OF peace, not of war, and they have

Indian Politics.

We would like il very much il the five
tribes in the Indian Territory were able to
conduct their affairs In their own way, with
"ut the interference of the Federal Govern
ment. We wish they would attend to their
own politics, enforce their own laws, mind
their own business, and keep the peace.
They are engaged in conducting a most in
teresting political experiment, In letting us
know whether the remnant of the
American red men can live aud -four
ish under a republican system mainly
constructed by themselves, In accordance
largely with their ancient tribal customs
and traditions. They are the most fully
civilized Indians in the United States; they
have all desirable liberties; they are rich in
land and money they have schools, courts,
and churches; they have chiefs both grave
and sincere. We would truly like TO see
them set an example in politics worthy to
be followed by the white inhabitants of
this country.
The troubles under which they suffer at
this time are not altogether of their own
making, yet they are largely responsible for
them. While the Federal authorities should
not suffer them 10 be harassed by pale faced
m~aTauders, they themselves ought 20 he able
10 dispose quickly Of the few mArauders
who exist non them solely OF account
OF the incomPetency Of the Indian police.

Il is shameful that a dozen white thieves
should be able tn offer defiance for
months to $50 trained Indian guardians Of
the peace, men whose brave ancestors faced
every foe Of any color. II is shameful that
other white villains should I've able to cheat
the tribes out Of the money which they draw
from the Federal Treasury. II is to their
shame that they tolerate the presence Of bad
white men upon their reservations. White
Americans have no right to live in the
indian Territory.
II disturbances I've not stopped there very
soon. we fear that the Eve civilized tribes
will lose both their tribal rights and their
lands before long. An Indian Commission
appointed by Congress has come to the con
clusion that the tribal system must be abol-
ished and the Indian Territory thrown open
to white settlement, or perhaps annexed to
Oklahoma. We do not like to get this news.
n Is bad for the Indians.
We are Rrieved to think that the most
hopeful experiment in free republican
politics ever nsade by any large body Of
North American Indians must be regarded
as a failure. We shall repudiate this melan-
choly thought as long as we can.
