DANGER OF AN
indian Outbreak in Consequence of
Abandoning Several Military Posts In
the West-.'If Christ Came to Con-
Cress"-Treaty With SPAIN

WASHINGTON, sept. l9.-Gen. Arm
strong, assistant commissioner OF In
dian affairs, speaking OF the changes
of United States troops and the aban-
donment of several military posts in
the west, says that it will have no
effect whatever upon the Indians.
'.There will be no outbreaks as q re-
suit of the changes said he, las
there are still plenty of troops easily
accessible to any possible point of
danger. The fact is, there is little
danger of Indian troubles now.
I'VE may have an occasional
disturbance, with some depreda-
tons and outrages. but they are
no more likely to happen than
among the white people. There is
more danger from anarchists in
Chicago than from all the Indians in
the west. Indian wars are thing OF
the past. Some bands may make
trouble, pillage and rob or something
of that kind, but then the James and
Younger gangs did the same, and
white men still hold up trains. With
the present railroads facilities troops
can be transported from the large
posts more quickly than they can
march from any of the little posts
which have been abandoned. SO far
as protecting the Indian frontier is
considered the changes will make no
| difference.

THE NATIONS LOSS.

The loss to the country through
the prostration policy of this DEM
ocratic administration is positive
~ astounding, when correctly
measured in the scales of a true
comparison. Taking the aggre-
gate trade of the country for the
eleven months ended with March
LIST 1894 and comparing it with
that same trade for the eleven
months ended with March lst 1898,
and there has been falling off in
these last eleven months, as COM
pared with those first eleven, of
$12,02S, 309,47l. Over twelve thous-
and million lost to the trade of the
country since the inauguration of
Mr.. Cleveland, less than one year
by a full month. That is, the loss
to the trade of the country by the
restoration of the Democratic party
to power is over one thousand mil
ZION every month. 1t does
not require any expert account
ant to calculate what that
loss will amount to at that rate by
the time that Cleveland retires
from power. An administration
that causes a trade loss to the
country of the astounding sum of
fifty thousand millions of money
during its one term of four years
is not an administration that the
people can afford to continue in
power. Uncle Sam is large minded
and does not stick at trifles, but it
is exceedingly doubtful if he will
permit this ruinous waste of the
substance of his people to continue
one day longer than he can mar
shall them to the polls and retire
the incompetent administrators o
his business to the shades of pri
Vate life. There is food for Sc
rious refectiveness in these figures
and it is in order to so reflect upOl
them that the lessons the,
convey are not lost. Their
is no relief in the viey
as presented, for the late
months are more eloquent of di:
aster than the earlier ones, provin
that the situation is growing raj

The New Orleans States does not
seem to bank very strongly on Mrs.
Lease as a multiplier and earth re-
plenisher, according to Genesis,
judging from its comment upon
the recent speech delivered by her

States says:
"Mrs. Lease addressed a meeting
of unemployed wOrkmen at Boston
the other day, and she took Occa-
sion to say that were the men to
stay at home and mind the babies
the women of this country would
soon find way out of the present
financial depression. She is appar-
emily ignorant of the fact, however,
that Winding baby is an art that
men have never been able to mas
ter, and that the average baby at
once raises the standard Of revolt
when it is entrusted to masculine
hands. Such an arrangement as
she proposes would cause the babies
much distress, and the air would
be filled with music from early
morn till dewy eve. We are will
ing to wager a jumping-jack
against a tin whistle that Mrs.
Lease herself is not a success as a
baby herder, for the simple reason
that there is too much of the man
in her."
