WEDNESDAY. KOVEMBKR 6.

Tkr fight to-day will be warm inConnectl ctit, M3ndcbn setts and Pennsylvania. Tub wrangling among democrats in New York is likely to lose the party three- or foar eongee;men. Tb wires will be freighted with election - returns for several days nl the flash will be interesting reading. Turn Mormons bare made 10,000 eenverti during the year, and Utah, as a consequence does a larger sealing business tbaa Alaska. THsJouraal contend that it la "riddled' by the, beet newspapers in the country. Thai's so tha Sentinel riddles It occasion ally. ' ' Dbatub by yellow fever, eo far aa amthen tie reports have been furnished, number 12,ei7, which represents about 40 per cent oi the cases. Ta New York Times indulges the suspl cion that Hayes will be impeached if the democratic party has a majority id the next house of representatives. Well, tho next bouse will be democratic. Wfikn a fart is once established. Jim Ander son can not overthrow It by saying the aa mo tbing. Cincinnati uaaette. Nor by saying the opposite thing, or by saying anything, and that is what' the mat ter with Sherman's letter. It is declared by South Carolina democrats and republicans that the canvass in tbat state has been the least disorderly that has been bad for many years, and so far no lives have been sacrificed. Thia is certainly a decided gain. Still the radical organs howl as loud as ever. Fekkstl vaiia is in doubt as to the governorship. As lor congressmen, tho democrats are certain of seven and the radicals of ten members. This It aves ten districts in doubt. Of these the nationals will, in all probability, secure one, leaving nine to be contended for. Of these the prospects of the democrats to secure a majority are regarded as favorable. Tkk Rochester Union and Democrat recites a case of conviction and imprisonment in New York upon perjured testimony of sufficient importance lo have a wide reading. Itajs: Friday afternoon Governor Kobinwm par doaetl catof in Slnjr prison a man named Terrene O'Neill Donnelly, aaln-a whom a great wrou Was been coin rn UU-d. Donnelly ha served four rnontbs on a sentenc of two years nod a Half lor forgery, and it co transpires tbat he is entlerty innocent of tne crime for which he was Incarcerated. Briefly his arrest and conviction weic brought about as foh jws: Donnelly was a well-to-do respectati bulkier living at No. 7Zl',i Carmli atrtet. In Krooklyn, and in the tame nouse llvod with him two brothers named William and EJwarU Rellly. William wa employed as a clerk with Mr. Litchfield, a well known Brooklyn merchant, wno had an office at No. 14 William btreet. New York. In January of this year forgeries to the amount of flt,0 0, In Mvveral checks, were committed ou ttae Fir-t Matiooal, Corn Exchange, and Cham National Banks of this city. The forgeries, aa alleged, were committed by William Keil y and Carlln. Edward It-l)ly being an accessory. The tareo voang men ran away to iiarbad. h February 2, carrying with them the prooeed of their iobb-ry. They sailed oa the trig O. C. C'leary, but one of Pinkertoa's detsctirea followed ibem by it earner and brought them back to New York, where they were Jo 'K-hI in the Tomb". They there made an amdvlt chargl"g Terreuee O'eill Dounelly with having oomuilifvl the forgeries, and alleging that he received a,i,0u of the money. Donueliy wan arrested at hi bouse, taken from his wite and children and Lidded in the Torabt. Ihe only testl-.nony ngalnni Donnelly was that furnNhed by the trinity of perjured rascals the Rel.lya and Carlln. Tho oi strict attorney had ule doubts a regarded! the prisoner's guilt at the time, and l'u mediately on Carlin'rf oonfoeion took inasures for Dounelly ' release. Theau younx men will now be tried for perjrry.aod they should recsive the severest sentence the law allows. The commissioner of the general land office, in his annual report, states that sales ! public lands for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1978, amounted to 8,636,178 acres, and that during the year 8,011,011 acres were larveyedla. addition to 721,613,748 previously surveyed, and that the total number of aires still to be surveyed amounts to something more than 1,000,003,000 acres. Thoee who are watching the drift of events will not fail Id notice that for the year ending Juce 30, 1878, the sates of lands exceeded the amount surveyed by 615,167 acre?. Allowing 130 acres to a farm .the sales would make 51,233 farms. These statements ehow conclusi very that the tendency of our population to agricultural pursuMti is still satisfactory. It will further be observed,' as a feature of the report, that the lands unearveyed exceed those hitherto surveyed by I70.31VJ4 acres. Here, then, we nave the facts set forth in official form showing that the opportunities to "go west and grow up 'with the country" are still of an inviting character.and that thousands of people are not enmindf ul of their Interests. But tt should be borne in mind that the high privilege of obtaining a farm at $1.25 per acre, about the cost of surveying the land, will not be afforded nuoy years longer, and those who want an interest In the soil with a clear title thould not overlook the fact that sales are now in excess of surveys. INDIANAPOLIS AH A TRADE CEX. TKK. The puhticil cimpalgn ends to-day. Parties will soon know their strength. Vict ries and defeats will be set forth showing whys and wherefores, and then will co Jie the lull tbat always succeeds the storm Some weeks will elapsa before oorgrcs meetr, and in the meantime there will be afforded an opportunity to dUcue the outlook of trade and the best localities for soceejsfal business enter inse. We regard Indianapolis as one of the trade centers of the eonntry, offering advantages tquil to any c'.her in the west, and in emae regards vastly superior to some of the cities tbat coai'i e'.e with her for commercial supremacy. Asa railroaJ renter, Indiaaapolis bat no eqml. ! this regard her position defies rivalry. Any fair f'imat of tha advantage thus Secured can not fail to Impress buiines men favorably, and the) more these ad vantutagea are considered the more favorable rill the outlook appear. In the? e no lern limes the railroads have eclipsed the interior natural highways of commerce, and it is p larger regarded as ejeential to commercial od7anceunt and supremacy ti locate on a rivr, even though It be the "rather of

Waters." The age in which we live is not

only utilitarian, bat It s equally distinguish ed for speed. It is a fast age. People deem to realise tbat life is abort, and they are therefore crowdiog weeks into daya and years into months, 8 team and electricity have ore a ted revolutions in all the material foteresfa of the country, and it matters bat little what other advantages a city mty pos sess, if she ia without railroad facilities she is poor indeed. The commercial idea that now prevails is to do large business in the shortest possible time and at the least possible expense, for the larger the volume of business the less it costs percent, to transact it Regarding these as pivotal facts, Indianapolis presents advan tagei that can be maintained by no other city on the continent. No city in the coun try can more rapidly concentrate the products of the country farm, field, forest, factory and mine; and no city caa so rapidly distribute its wares and merchandise. The map of Indiana Is an argument addressed to tbe- eye, that lays hold upon the understand ing with convincing force. Indianapolis has ten trunk railroad lines radiating to almost every point of the compass. Theeelines pen etrate forty counties of the state and connect with the entire system of railroads throughout the country. These forty counties contain a population of at least a million and quarter, and are rapidly increasing in wel Ji and population, and the remotest village in any one of them can be reached in a few hours from this city. Every want, from a keg of nails to a steam engine, can be supplied from the stores, warehouses and fac tories of Indianapolis in less Jime than from any other city, and at prices as favorable to the purchaser. It ia these facta that has given to Indianapolis her celebrity as a com mercial metropolis, and anyone who studies the signs of the times, as they relate to com meres and manufactures, will see that the prestige already secured will not only be maintained, but that the area of Indian spolis trade mast continue to ex pand until it competes for business far beyond its present outposts. As a. mar ket for certain descriptions of native timber. Indianapolis stands first in the list. Her milling interests are of a magnitude that command wide reccgnition. As a pork packing center she Etands defiantly beside 8t. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati, and as a cattle market the enterprise of her business men has given Indianapolis a prominence that at no distant day assures pre eminence. This city, with all others, tias felt the pressare of buiine.'s stagnation, but no city in the country has come out of the ordeal in a bet ter condition to continue the business race under more favorable auspices, and those who are seeking new localities for the in vestment of capital will find upon exam ination tbat no city in tbe country offers superior Inducements. We shall, from time to time, in the immediate future refer to the business interests of Indianapolis, giving data admitting of nodiipute showing its superior advantages aa a commercial and manufacturing canter. THE PROSPERITY OF TIIE .COU5TBY. The real statesmanship demanded by tbe times in which we live relates, to political economy. Tbe msn or set of men who assume the responsibility of managing governmental affaire, who are ignorant of ' tbat 'branch of philosophy which discusses the 'sources and methods of material wealth and 'prosperity of a nation," are unfit for tbeir positions. Fartifao triumphs, if tbtss things a e ovr'ooktd by the victors, will sink to det-erved conU-rupt. A conntry'a prosperity mait be evidenced by tbe prosperity, happiness and steady advancement of all the people. Anything e'se is false, no matter how elaborately gilded or with what high soundia: periods the wealth of individuals may be recited. Write as we may of palatial residences, of a titled nobility whes) wealth is wruog from the toil and sweat of the people, if the great mass of the psopl are poor the boasted prosperity is false, a sbam anl a crime. Earope, with her 300,t)0 000 of people, is eaten up by standing armies Therlweof European manbool is forced into armies, and the theo-y of European governments is to kill, not to make alive. In this country, cursed by tbe raiical party for years, we hive had a constant clamor from its leaders for a larger army more soldiers; somebody for West Po nt cadets to command. Ridical officials steal from the Indians,and the savages cheated and starved forthwith eotowsr. Then comes the demand, not for honest Indian agents, but more troops. Workingmen demand of their employers better wages, and the radical leaders at once demand more troop. With tr ops the radical (arty held the sou hern states prostrate, while radical car-l-et-baggers rifled their treasuries, and troops stood guard while J. Madison Wells, John Sherman and other conspirators swindled Hayes into office Great standing armies are not mentioned in the science of political economy with favor.. They are cancara that at; they impoverish without contributing a ivtbing toward tbe recaperatioa of a 0inry, and, as a consequence, a erua 1 stsn ling army in tbe United States is regsrdtd with more favor than a large one. The dtm crtic party bas been engegtd for seve:a' years In red uc ing the expenses of tbe govrnuien', an I this is statesmanship as applied to finances. The prosperity of the country demands economy. The raiical party gave tbe country profligacy to sty nothtr g of its thefts. The prosperity of the country demmd diyrjifi d enip'ojments. Siateriusnsutp will eek to accomplish this, for it is the only policy that will giye profitab'e employment to all. If all tbe people are actively engag-d. they wLl produce more lb a tbey can consum; hence wise . statesmanship will pit'sne a policy that will open r ew market f ir surplus products. England is iWtljier.t in fMl, and the same is true of Fra'ire "O Uu yearp," ssystbePhlladalpbiaTitiVs, "France bs become a purchaser tit brt-ad-'s'.uiT'. Ia tin nut runo'e r att she was an v jx r'er of wheat and a competitor of the 'United 8. attain supplying tha Briihh dn'liolfn y. In the meantime her city popu'IstioM have Krovn; her ruanufictu ring induxtries hye extended, taking in a largrt 'jroHri n of her jeot.l. Her agricultural 'prolncU hive changed; other CTOht have 'become m-.re profitable than wht-a', and Maud once devoted to wheat is no W given up

'to other productions, largely to tbe cultlva'tlon of eugir beet. The French now find it 'cheaper to import wheat than to produce it, 'an! annually tbe French deficiency in bread'atatTs has been increasing. Thia deficiency 'has beenheretofore largely purchased in Eng'g'and, and tbe direct purchases from the .United States have been smalL Tbe English 'have enjoyed tbe profits of this trade. Tbey 'booghltbe wheat here,' collected freight on 'its transfer to England, reaped the profits 'upon the storage and the tales to France, 'and the profits of handling the money. This, 'however, is about to change. French im'porters of breads toffs are now buying direct 'in the American market, and, once begun 'and its great advantages experienced, it ia 'probable that while the French purchase of 'American grain will Increase annually, the 'trade instead of being carried on in British 'ships and through British markets will be'come direct. The deficiency In French 'grain is not temporary. It is likely to grow 'so long as the supply from America con'tinuea so abundant as to admit of its importation cheaper than It can be produced at 'home. So long, then, as American farmers 'can add to their surplus production the 'promise ia tbat it will be less profitable to 'grow wheat in France than to purchase it 'from this country, thus enlarging our mar'ket for the sale oi our enlarging production. 'In the meantime American manufactures, 'for th? same reason, will find new aud ex'tended markets." r But to find these markets and to successfully compete with other countries in the sale of manufactured wares, the government msy be required to furnish some aid. If this is 'done, -who are specially benefited? The people who produce the surplus. To increase tbe demand for American products, whether of forest, field, farm, mine or factory, is to increase the demand for labor, which gives employment to all, and hence all are prosperous. But tiiere is a feature of the subject well calculated to attract the at tentlon of American statesmen. America

can manufacture to anf extent demanded by the markets of the world, and feed her own people at the same time. This is true of no other country. Tbe time is not distant when capitalists will see the folly of transporting cotton thousands of miles to be made into yarns and cloth when it can be manufactured as well near tbe fields where it grows. Skilled labor is all that is wanted now, and tbat will be supplied in due time. England's machinery and capital will eventually be transferred to America. The prod action of cotton can be ind finitely increased. As for power, coal is practically Inexhaustible. If wool is wanted, America can produce it. Tbe same Is true of flu and hemp. If the world wants iron it is piled up in our mountains; in deed, all the elements of wealth and prosperity are with us. These facts will be recogniz jd. Tbey are already attract ing attention. With home industries, we thill have home markets for ouragricultura, products, and with labor properly diversified the wealth and prosperity of the country will go hand in hand. Statesmen will not legislate for the rich alone; they will regard the masses, and see to it that the bor ders of government are made as light as possible. Under radical rule every measure hes looked to the interests of capital. Labor bas been ignored. As a result, poverty, idleness and crime. With the democratic party in power a more enlightened statesmanship will prevail, and the general prosperity of the country wilt be promoted. With the radical party in power knavery bas predominated. When the democracy gain full control, honesty will be exa'ted. Tbe outlook is cheering, and tbe people are taking courage. ruppixc.s.

OUIt B0RDEK TROUBLES.

The Important Document Submitted by Sheridan to Sherman. Tho Ouues Which Have Precipitated Indian Wars. Tbe inllea Ntatea irernmeait Xut iMBine tbe Beaeonalblllfy. The following la a liberal extract from General Sheridan's report to General Sher man concerning the work and working dur ing the past year of the military division of Missouri. It contains many interesting facts, which will be yery generally read through out the west. IHS f KSXEKT aiTVATIOW. The Indian situation at the present time is, i am sorry to say, untatufactory. The Indian Department, owing towantofsutn cient appropriation or from wretched mismanagement, bas given to the settlements in the western country constant anxiety during the last year, and in some pTaces lost of lire ana loss oi property, attended with dreadful crimes and cruelties. There has been an insufficiency of food at the agencies, and as the game is gone, hunger baa made tbe Indians in some cases desperate, and almost any race of men will right rather than starve. It seems to me, witn wiab management, tbat tbe amounts appropriated by. congress ought to be sufficient, if practically applied to ihe exact purposes specified, and if the supplies are rrgulariy delivered, but tbe reports of the department commanders forwarded herewith would indicate a different result, except in tbe case of the Red Cloul and Spotted Tail bands of Soux who, although threatening In their conduct, have been tbe best supplied, and have been humored until their increasing insolence cons'antly threatens to bring about a breach of the peace. I had hoped that tbe agencies of thisa Indians would have been retained on the Missouri River, where they could have been fed and looked after at comparatively small expense; but this would not.have suited the traders and contractors who I fear labored systematically last sum mer and fall to work up the resu't which has been obtained, and how these Indians are on worse ground than the Missouri River bottom, and located at points beyond tbe river lines of transportation; for instance, Red Cloud's band, where the expense of feeding will be probably five times as great as on tbe Missouri River. In addition, these Indians are now located near the line of travel to the Black Hills, and are on the extreme western limit of their reservation, and where contact wilh the whites is liable to frequently occur, and I doubt if, in tbe present lrarae of mind of tbe Red Cloud Indians, tbe two races can live so closely together without fighting. There does cot seem to be now, and there never has been, much steadiness in tbe management of the Indians, and, if it were not for the results which so severely involve tbe military, this would be none of my business and would not be mentioned here. WBT VTI HAVE IXDIABt WARS. It ia often wondered at by tbe general public why we should have Indian wurs, and again the remark is made tbat tbe English government has always been able to get along without them ia Canada and Britith Columbia. I therefore re?pec'fally submit to the general of the army the following brief answer to these inquiries: Ten years ago the Indians owned and occupied nearly all tne country west of the Missouri River, from British Columbia to the Gulf cf Mexico, excepting the settlement of Eastern Kansas, Colorado and Montana, and Eastern and Southern Tens. The Gros Ventres, AHnnaboines, Blackfeet and other bands oc cupied tbe country north of tbe Mueouri River; the Sioux south of tbat, as far as tbe Platte River; the Cheyennes south to Braver Creek in Kansas; tbe Arapahoes from thence down to tbe Arkansas River; tbe Kiowas riowntoand including both the Canadian Rivrs;tbe Comanche from tbe Canadian down to tbe Concho River, in Texas. The almost unlimited extent of country was occupied by two vast herds of buffalo, one grazing In the north, the otber in tbe gouth, and each herd cumbered from 2.000 000 to 3,000,000 of animals, and in the same region were herds of elk, antelope, deer, and other large game of almost every variety, and in numbers innumerable, while in the valleys were ti be found wild roots, vegetables, berries and fruit in abundance. Nature bad prod uced everything necessary for tbe subsistence of the Indians, and the whole region was a psxture field for the numerous herds of ponies, which was tbe wealth and sole means of transportation for the Indians, while the results of the chase and the trapping of game procured them tbe means of clothing themselves, either with the skins or by barter with the traders, or by both. Thi., thus briefly stated, was tbeir condition in this vast extent of country about ten years ago, and this was good enough for and satisfied tbe wants of the savage, while constant feuds among themselves gave them active occu patio o, as war was their only profession, and they disdained work. BROKEN FROM If ES, ENDING IX WAR. The Indians believed tbat all the region I have described belonged to them, and our Indian policy acknowledged their right to the country and what it contained, but, alas for the poor savage, along cime the nineteenth century progress, or whatever it msy be .ailed, to disturb tbeir happy condition. The white men crowded on to the grounds of the Indians and made encroachments on their rights which no government could stop. Our handful of soldiers was at first sent to protect the Indians, but such at tempts were powerless. Tbe government made treaties, gave presents, made promises, none of which were bones'ly fulfilled, and, like all original treaties with Indians in this country, they were the first steps in the procers of developing hostilities. The Indian became jealous; he' made in hie aim plicity blind bargains; he began to see his Jands wrested from his possession, his herds of buffalo, which he believed tbe Great Spirit bad giveu him, rapidly diminish, and the elk, deer and antelope killed for the niirket. and by the sportsman, and widely scattered by both, and bis rude nature under similar conditions naturally rebelled. He com-, menced war, war as he had txen accustomed to make it, and meo, women and children, intruders upon his soil, were killed, DO difference be'ng made between the innocent or guilty, tbe armed or unarmed. Tli- goverunient followed up these acts of hostility with an army too small to intimidate or even punish, and, a:ter years of e'ruvgle. the Indians south of the Union Pacific Railroad and down to tbe Gulf of Mexico, including tbe Cheyennes, Arapah oe., Kiowas and Cmancbes, were forced on to reservations at Ports Sill aid Reno, in the Indian Territory, by tbe constant hammering of an inadequate force. Only a breaming spell intervened when tbe sitne tide of restless emigration wa at. tracud to the nenhwest. The Black Hills ront lined gild, the valleys of the Souti Cheyenne, Bsele Fourche and Yellowstoue, and a'ong tbe eastern slope of the Big Horn Mountains Invited tbe agriculturist, while the upper table land country presented the finest ferazipf rargn In th worfJ. The northern herds of buffalo had fattened upon them for hundreds of yea;s, and it was too much for the wave of emigration to withstand, and the invasion of this country commenced. TBI WAR WITn THE SIOUX. War with tbe Sioux followed, and when it emit d the country was lot to tbess Icdlans, and those who did not flee the country to Bntitu America found themselves confined

to a reservation embracing the poorest of Il this extensive region, witii agencies on the MiVsoari River, with the exception of the Red Cloud baud of Ogallalas and the Spotted Tall band of Brule Bioax, whose agencies are now on White River, Nebraska, to that in 1877, the grtat country a oo re referred to. whic'j, in iaol, belongea to the Indians, and extended from the line of the British potes sioDS on the north, and almoet to the Gulf of Mexico on the south, bad passed into the

nauasoi tne whites with the exception of the limiud reservation assigned to the Indians, and with no compeneation beyond tbe promise of religious instruction, schools, supplies of food and clothing, and an opportunity of learning the wys in which the white man cultivated the ground most of which promise have never been fulfilled. In other words, we took tliotr country and their means of support, brt ke op tbeir mode cf living, their babita of life, introduced dis ease and decay among them, and It was for this and against this that they made war. Could any one expect less? Then why wonder at Indian difficulties? These wars might have been regarded as inevitable, and therefore a sufficient number of soldiers Bhould have been provided to meet them; but it was not done, and hence the fatal results which followed. No other nation in the world would have attempted the reduction of these wild tribes and occupation of their country with less than 60,000 or 70,000 men, w hile the whole force employed and scattered over the enormous region described never numbered 14,000 men, and nearly one-third of ttis force has been confined to the line of the Rio Grande to protect the Mexican frontier. The consequence was that every engagement was a forlorn hope, and was attended with a loss of life unparalleled in warfare. No quarter was given by the savages, and the officers and men hd to enter on their duties with ihe most barbarous cruelties staring them in the face in case of defeat. Nor was this misfortune conbned to the soldier. It extended to tbe settler, who was himself killed or came home to see his wife aud children murdered and his stock stolen. Such, in truth, has been the contest on our western frontier during the last ten years. It would have been le.-s expensive if an armv of 00,000 or 70,000 bad been maintained, and, moreover, the blood of gallant officers, soldier and citizens would not have re&ted on our hands. This, then, was the first cause of our In dian wars. They would have occurred, no matter what course or policy the govern ment might have adopted. We could not deprive these primitive people of their' homes where they had lived in barbarous contentment for centuries without war, and the only thing strange about these wars was tbe manner aud means adopted by the gov ernment to meet them. THK SECOND OUTBREAK of Indian hostilities is caused in this way. After be bas lost his coudtry he finds himself compelled to remain on reservation?, his limits circumscribed, his opportunities of bunting abridged, his fjanie disappearing, bickotss in his lodge from change of life and looa, ana insuinciency oi the latter, and this irregularly supplied, and the reflection coming to him of what he was, and what be now is, and pinched by hunger, creates a feeling of dissatisfaction which, in the absence of a good strong force of soldier.', 6tarts bim out on tbewar path again, and unarmed people are killed, settlements are broken up, farms are abandoned, and general con fusion exists. This condition of affairs is well illustrated by tbe recent outbreak of Northern Che vennes, who lately abandoned their reserva tion at b ort Reno, and the same might be eaid of tbe outbreak of the Nez Perces last year, and certainly of tbitt of tbe Bannocks and Sliosbonesinthis year, of tbe Cheyennes, 1VHWS9 8hu L'Omancnes in is-t, ar a unless wiser measures prevail hereafter it will go oa. ihe Crows will come in next, the As sinabornes and Gros Ventres and other wild tribes north of tbe Missouri will be obliged to follow. Spotted Tail's and Red Cloud's people will be driven to the same conditions eventually, and eo on down to the tribes in the western part ot the Indian Territory. To prevent or even meet tbe calamity which miy occur, wa are entirely unprepared, for, without expofalng other important points, we can collect together but a few hundred men. t or instance, at rort Sill and vicinity, to meet the Kiowas. Comancbes. Apaches and others, located in the Indian Territory, numbering 3,000 or 4.000, we have not more than 300 effective men. At Fort R'bo, to guard the Cheyennes and Arapahoe?, numbering 5,(KX) or b',090, we have not exceeding 200 effective men. At Red Cloud Agency, where there are at least 0,000 Indians, we have only tffo companies, and could cot in ten days collect over 500 or 600 men. At Spotted Tail's we have only two companies, numbering 113 men, and it would use two wees to collect all tbe troops we could muster, and they would not number much more than 500 or (300 effective men, while ihe Indians number not less than 7,000. And so on at point where then) are Indians and agencies, and at otber strategical points, tbe number of troops is insignificant, and if out breaks occur, as 1 fear tbey will, the consequences would be appalling, and I desire to warn the general of the army that we have not half tbe troops required to "meet these anticipated troubles. Now that the game, upon which tbe Indiars depended for tbeir regul&r supply of fooa. is gone, we shall require a great supply of ratious with perfect regularity in its i&ue, to meet tbe needs Of these people, together with a strong and stable government, backed up by a sufficient number of soldiers tj enforce obedience, and to keep these restless savages within the limits of their. reservations. THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE. It will be seen from tbe foregoing tbat It is my belief tbat, in accordance with our ideas of progress, tbe first war with Indians is inevitable and can not be prevented, but the second wars are within our control, and we are reponsible for them, and that tbe responsibility rests on us, first, from our Injudicious treatment, and, second, from want of sufficient force to control and render tbe Indians submissive to authority, and I bave no hesitation in saying that after tie first troubles which arise from taking away from tbe Indian this country which be believes to be bis birthright, kind treatment, administered with tdeadinesa and justice, would remove our western frontier of all its appalling horrors arising from Iudiai outbreaks. I believe tbat, with treatment of tbis kind, the Indian can be redeemed and made selfsupporting, and in an incredibly short period of time, as compared wltti tbe opinions usually entertained by the general public, and my opinions are sustained by a knowledge acquired from an intimate association with tbe subject in all its phases for the lat twenty-four years. BKNKFITS TO THS WHITS HEX.

Tbey have all assisted in developing toe mineral wealth in Central Colorado and tbe San Juan country in Soot hern Colorado; also that cf tba mints in Utah, Montana, the Black Hills, New Mexico, and other points, which development bas thrown into circulation by tbe process of labor and the purchase ot machinery, supplies, and transportation, millions upon millions of dollars, to say nothing of the millions taken out of the eath by manual labor and the aid of machinery. Then, tgiln, let us tf ke a view of the cat tie interests. Ten .ytars ago our grazing grounds were in Texai; cow they are from

Kansas La- bad an emigration hitherto unparalleled tbe emigration being almost by the hundred thcuaud per year. Nebraska bas also come in for a large 8D8ref emigration, while Colorado, Ulan and Wyoming are not far behind in acquiring population. Central and northern Texas, middle and western Kansas, and Nebraska and l. tab are all teeming with agricultural prosperity. This population, Dumberine probably 2,000,000 ol men engaged in mining, graung and agricultural pursuits, pays taxes, builds farm houses aud constructs fences, plows up tbe ground, erects echool houses and founds villaSa, towns, etc., and the millions obtained by the sweat of tbeir brow add so much more to the trade, commerce and prosperity of the world; and all this comes from the develonment of a country which only ten Tears ago was the land of the Indian, tbe buffalo and the elk. Self Care f er Inebriety. A person afflicted with this disease can easily supply himself with the remedies used at nearly all the inebriate aoylums, and be nis own pnysician at his own home, without the necewary expense and publicity of visiting the Washingtonian Home, or any other reformatory institution. Ha laboratory need only contain a small quantity of cayenne pepper, a pot of concentrated extract of beef, and a few grains of bromide of potaesinm. When the desire lor alcoholic drink recurs, make a tea from tbe cayenne pepper as strong ae can be taken with any degree of comfort, sweeten it with milk and sugar, and drink. This tea will f apply the same place that a g'asi of liquor would fill, and will leave no ii.lunous effect behind. Repeated daily ss ofttn as the appe'itue returns, it will be but a few days be 'ore the sufferer will have become difgasted with the taste of the pepper, and with the appearance of this disgust disappears the love tt liquor. The fact is proven every dsy. Tt extract of beef is to be made into beef tea, according to the directions on the pot, in quantities ss may be needed for tbe time being, and furnishes a cheap, easily digested and healthy nutriment, it being made to "stay on the i-tom-ach" when heavier articles of food would be rejected. The bromide of poaium is to be used carefully, and only in case of extreme nervousness, tbe djee being from 15 to 20 grains, dissolved in wa'er. This is a public exhibit of the method of treatment adopted at the inebriate asylums. In addition thereto the drinking man should surround himSilf with influences which tend to make him foreet tne degrading asio:iatio is of tin bar rxmi and lift bim upward, lie should endeavor, so far as his business vocations will permit, to sleep, bsthe and eat regularly and obey tbe laws of health. By the adoption of tbis course, energetically and sincerely, no man who hss the will to reform can fail to do so. Handrcd and thousands can attest the truth of these statemeots. Ko Meter lu Tbeir. The lighting of East Liverpool, Ohio, with natural gis from wells bas been often briefly mentioned. Tbe fact is, tbat tbe plan bas been for many years in tucce s?ful operation. Tbe gas comes continuously and in large quantity from leveral dep wells, and is available not only for l'ght, but for heat. For light it r quires no preia'ation. but burn readily witu great illuurn ting power.
