Too Much Van wyck

Tammany is going to ratify itself to-
night in French, German, italian, and Tam
manyese. This is a very important cleo
tion for Tammany, and the ghost dance
will be given with extraordinary fervor.
Yet the more noise Tammany makes, the
uneasier will the country Democrats be-
come. Tammany is a good thing for itself,
but it would be altogether too much Of a
good thing II it should come to control the
rest Of the State as it controls the city.
With Brother AUGUSTUS in Albany and
Brother BOB in the City Hall OF New York,
there would be altogether too much VAN
WICK and too much Tammany.
The bigger the joyous hullabaloo Of Tam
many. the deeper will be the doubts Of the
rest Of the Democratic brethren. Fine
thing for Tammany to run both State and
city by means Of CRoKER's Twins. And how
fine for the country Democrats!

been made Indian superintendents within
their jurisdictions, and In 8 the Presi-
dent was empowered TO appoint temporary
resident agents and TO expond $4,000 an
nually In giving the red men domestic AMI
mails, husbandry Implements, and 80 on.
Four years later there was a regular
Superintendent Of Indian Trade. In 1919
means OF instruction for the Indians
were provided, and in 1924 a Bureau Of
Indian Affairs, under n chief called by
courtesy a Commissioner, was organ-
ised by the Secretary Of War, who,
It should be remarked, then had charge OF
the Indiana. Eight years later, In 1882, q
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs under the
War Department was appointed by Con-
gress. In 1894 the functions Of this bu-
reau were greatly enlarged, and the assign
ment OF army oficers as agents was author
lied. Finally, In 1s49, when the Interior
Department was created, the Indian Bureau
was transferred to IT,
There have since been many times when
this transfer seemed regrettable, because
civilian methods and officers led to trouble
with the Indians. OF late. therefore, the
tendency has been to get back toward army
control for the Indians, at least in part, and
a few years ago Congress expressly pro-
vided for the appointment Of army officers
as agents, and many Of them have since
90 served. But, after all, there is a strong
civilian side to Indian administration,
and 1t obviously increases with the adj
vancement Of the race in civilization. The
proposal, therefore, to substitute for the
present Indian Bureau a commission con-
slsting Of one army officer and two civilians
is a compromise that perhaps may find
favor. We doubt whether the War Depart
ment Is anxious to have the Indian Bureau
transferred back to it, since 1t has quite
enough business strictly its ownt to attend to.
AS for the reservations, the bars around
them may be thrown down when the red
men become American citizens, with tribal
allegiance abolished, severalty allotments
established and race antipathies gone; but
that Of course must be a gradual work, and
the time for accomplishing it seems for
some tribes still q long way ahead.

Mohonk and the Indian Bureau.

Perhaps the most striking demand in the
platform Of principles adopted by the friends
OF the Indian, who have just been in con-
ference at Lake Mohonk, is that for the
abolition of the Indian Bureau. 1t calls
upon Congress to "set on foot at once
measures to bring the Indian Bureau and
its work to an early close" and it also
wants to nave the Indian reservations
opened as soon as possible.
This project, however, of wiping out the
Indian Bureau is not wholly novel. Several
years ago the Interior Department itself,
OF which the Indian Bureau forms a part,
proposed that the offices of Commissioner
and Assistant Commissioner Of Indian AZ
fairs should be abolished, and that their au-
thority and work should be given to a COM
mission of three members, one to be an
army officer not below the rank of
Major, and the other two civilians. This
recommendation was renewed by another
Secretary Of the Interior, with the added
suggestion that the forms of the members
of the commission should expire at different
times. one going out every two years.
Finally a bill seeking to accomplish this end
was introduced into the Senate, on Jan. 7,

to be distributed annually to the tribes, not
only in their own trust funds but under ap-
preparations by Congress, there must be
some substitute for the Indian Bureau,
should it, with its elaborate machinery, BIO
abolished.
The rise and development OF the Indian
Bureau have been peculiar. Over a century
ago, in 1886, Congress appointed two
superintendent, one for the Northern and
the other for tho Southern District, to
supervise tho trading with the Indians,
which could then be- done lawfully only by
taking out a $50 license. Next, under
the provision OF the Federal Constitution,
which gives Congress the exclusive power to
regulate with the Indian tribes,
it appointed three Commissioner to ar
range for trading with the indian south OF
the Ohio, and these Commissioners APP
proved the license system, which Congress
accordingly adopted In 1890. Half a dozen
years later a new step was taken In est&b-
fishing ON the Western and Southern from
tiers trading houses, under commercial
agents. and this Commissioner NOR
GAN, who carefully studied the whole
subject, regarded as tho real origin Of
our modern agencies. Be this as 1t may,
the clearinghouse system was abolished in
1922. Meanwhile the Governors OF the
Northwest Territory and Of Indiana had

To-day the flag goes up in Porto Rico,

This is not the first tim that the eigh-

Ninety-ave years 6 to-day the Senate
of the United States took up in executive
session the treaty with France by which
THOMAS JEFFERSON secured the cession to
the United States Of the vast region GOV
cred by the Louisiana purchase. That act

thousand square miles Of territory to the
American Union, more than doubling the
area Of our country. The treaty or conven-
ton was before the Senate only two days
before its ratification.
Thus does the flag move on, not only on
October 1S, but also on other days notable
in the patriotic calendar. The greatest OF
Democratic statesmen and one Of the
greatest of Republican statesmen, JEFFER-
SON and SEWARD, equally understood the
law Of national progress, and they both
obeyed 1t.
When the flag went up at Sitka 1t covered

Homicide by Game Mardenu.

It is a dreadful thing to kill a man in
order to enforce q law against killing robins.
On Saturday, JAMES L. TooKER, a game
warden in New Jersey, who was endeavor-
ing to break up the practice OF shooting
robins in the Manchester woods near Pater-
son, shot a young Italian named SEcUNDA
CANovA through the heart, killing him In
stantly.
1t appears that CANovA was out shooting
robins with a companion. The game war
den, after seeing one robin fall to their
guns, accosted them and demanded the
surrender Of their weapons. CANovA's as
sociate complied with the demand, but, ae-
cording to Mr.. lockers account Of the oc-
currence. "CANovA made a quick move and
covered TooKER with his weapon" where
upon the game warden drew a revolver and
killed his would-be assailant.
II the evidence adduced on the legal in
quiry shows that what the warden did was
really or apparently necessary to save him
self from being shot, he must be acquitted
of wrongdoing. But it has often happened.
in cases Of this sort, that the officers of the
law lave magnifed acts into threatening
gestures which were not threats at all, and
that the possession of a revolver has led to
the needless sacrifice of a human life.
We would not depreciate the Importance
of enforcing the law against the destruc-
tion of harmless and useful birds. We
can remember the time, however, when
it was generally permitted to shoot
robins in the autumn. Robin shooting,
therefore, can scarcely be classed with
those offences which moralists and law-
givers classify as being wrong in them
selves, as distinguished from acts which
are deemed offences simply because they
are forbidden by law. 1t is not a mortal
sin to banker after robin pie but, directly
or indirectly, that indulgence cost a lad his
life on Saturday in New Jersey.
The penalty was a great one, in view ofthe
transgression. Wetrust, OF account Of the
game warden, that it will turn out that he
had to STAY in orderto avoid being slain him
self. Otherwise the tragedy is inexcusable.
