WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. ... The; Crees, a powerful tribe of Canadian I ndians, are thirsting for the blood of Sitting Bull and hta braves, who, they declare, hare destroyed the buffalo to an extent that ia likely to produce famine. Two thousand Crees are nnder arms, and their chief, Great Bear, is ready to lead them against 8itting Ball, and waiting only to hear from the Canadian authorities. If Great Bear will only kill Sitting Boll he will do the United States a great serrioe, which General Miles will promptly acknowledge.

Tbkrk are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of ex-rebels doing business and prospering in the North, and no discrimination is made against them on account of politics. Bat a Northern man with Northern principles can not live tn a Southern State. Democracy will not tolerate him. Journal. We do not suppose there is a Southern State in which there are not hundreds of Northern men now doing business farmers, manufacturers, merchants and mechanics and this fact the Journal knows well enough. Northern men are investing in all of the Southern States, and are getting along quietly and peaceably. Men who go South to steal find it a sort of an up hill business now-a-days.

much as squints at "reform." It Is the i

old machine which, as the New York Herald declares, that is the stalwart's policy in New York, as in Maine and Ohio, to "bring up

the most exciting issues possible; to alarm

the people by threats of Southern domina

tion, 01 a new re Damon ana gen

eral repudiation, and ' by ' the exhi

bition of the 'bloody shirt;' to avoid

carefully every real issue; to oppose vigorously every proposed reform, and 'rally

round the flag boys, rally once again, shout

ing the battle cry of freedom.' Ia the belief of the stalwart leaders, this Is the only way for them to carry the elections this fall

and the presidential election next year.

They may be right; they were right In 1872;

they succeeded in 1876, and, with the help

of Democratic blunders, they may succeed again on this plan this year and next year."

The Democratic convention of New York

will meet in a few days at Syracuse, and if

wisdom guides its counsels Republican croweating will be a fitting finale of the Republican party in the Empire State.

Statistics relating to the growth of Roman

Catholicism in New England during the last I

SO years have been prepared, which must be highly satisfactory to his holiness, the pope. The church in New England now has six

dioceses there, one archbishop, five bishops,

(96 priests, 520 churches, 81 chapels, two

colleges, 30 academies, 107 parochial schools, with 33.609 pupils, and a Catholic popula

tion of 861,000. In thirty years there has been an increase of four dioceses, four bish

ops, 524 p riots, 52S churches and chapels, 29

academies, 107 parochial schools and 761,000

population. Protestant papers hold that these figures correspond nearly with the

increase in foreign population, which, dur

ing the 30 years, by immigration and by birth from foreign-born parents, has been

bout 893,000 , -

Euglaud has Gibraltar, but this does not satisfy her ambition. She now proposes to

take complete possession of the Mediterra

nean sea, and to aocompUsh her purpose has obtained possession of Tangier, a fortified

seaport of Morocco, situated on the Straits of

Gibraltar, a few miles east of Cape Spaxtel.

With this position "properly fortified, England will have secured her route to India via the Suez canal against the attacks of the world, and may snap her fingers at all the

European powers combined. England has a happy way of carrying out her policy of empire. She never purchases any territory she takes it. She has leased Cyprus, and

controls Egypt, and now, with Gibraltar and Tangier, her chain of military posts from London to Bombay is complete. Under

such circumstances the much talked of de

cay of England does not appear startlingly

visible to the naked eye.

Thousands of New York Republicans are

now getting ready to breakfast, lunch and dine on crow. Conkling invites some, who

come readily. He cracks his plantation cat-o'-nine-tails over others, and others still from the highways and hedges will in due

time be brought into the feast. The New

York Express, having special facilities for

obtaining information as to the manner the

first festival of Conkltng Cornell croweating went off and went down, reports the following sentiments which were uttered by

distinguished crow eaters, and applauded by

the whole company:

TEE COST OF LIvTNd.

There are thousands of people in Indian

apolis, as there are in all large cities, whose

chief concern is the cost of living, and this anxiety ia increased as the summer advances

toward autumn and autumn to winter. The

summer is past; we are now in the early days of September; summer lingers; but,

pretlof the frosts may be down upon us any

morning. The season is fruitful of wants.

It is the season for fires and an

increased demand tor , fuel. . It is a seison for warmer clothing, from shoes

to hat It is a season when provisions cost more than during the summer, and more is

demanded. It ia not strange, therefore, that prudent people, with moderate and limited

incomes, are anxious about the cost of liv

ing. Many are out of work, or are earning meager wages, and the Immediate future is

full of uncertainties. What is to be doneT It occurs to us that the situation demands that it should be looked at squarely, and met

courageously. 8uppose that every fam

ny of limited means takes an

inventory of cash on hand and probable in

come for the next 90 days. Suppose we

estimate wages ranging from 75 cents to $1.50 per day 75 cents, $1, $1.25, $1.50 the

average would be $1.12Ji. . Ninety days

would give an income of $101 25. If a sin

gle person, he or her, might get along well

enough a man and wife might live comfort.

ably by economy; but the average family of

five persons two adults and three children,

the youngsters ranging in years from three to 10, two of school age changes the ont

look. Then what? Not only economy, but

rigid economy, consummate tact, skillful

management, careful purchasing and only such things as are of prime necessity no street railway rides, no beer, no cigars

every nickel represents a loaf of bread

no new clothes, if the old ones can be

mended and br ashed up. Winter, cruel and cold, ia coming. To withstand its blasts, to meet its demands, to keep it from entering a thousand homes where it will stand

ready to enter if any point is left unpro

tected, demands vigilance, thoughtful ness,

prudence, economy, and the preparations

should begin at once. Delays are always

dangerous, and never more so than in pre

paring for the rigors of winter. A family of

five, it they hare three meals a day, is equal

to 15 meals. Estimated at five cents each,

requires 75 cents a day for food. If food is

purchased in small quantities the amount

will barely be sufficient, but If certain staud

ard articles are purchased tor a week's or a month's supply, something better may be

done say 50 cents a day. In that event $45

would purchase provisions for 90 days,

leaving $56.25 on hand. Then there Is rent

to pay. Suppose we calculate the expend!

ture upon four amounts, as the monthly

rent $6, $3, $10, $12 this would give an

average of $9 per month; but we will assume

that $7 per month is the average. This will

require $21 for the 90 days' living $35.25

of the $101.25. If we estimate the fuel at 10 cents a day we have left $26.25, or about 28 cents a day, for every other u.u salty. There

may be sickness in the family days in

which labor can not be performed, and other

unfavorable contingencies may arise

to reduce the income or increase the ex

penses. At any rate, we are right in saying

that the most painstaking economy la de nianded, and without it there will be suffer

ing in Indianapolis before the Ides of March.

Hence it is well enough to discuss such sub'

jects, to think about them, to see where a

dime or a nickel can be saved, for money saved is money earned. By taking

care of the cents people take care of

the dollars. Besides, this is business

In a small way, just as business is transacted in a large way. Let it be understood that

the price of bacon ia one-eighth of a cent per pound cheaper in Cincinnati than in Indianapolis, and all the large orders will

go to Cincinnati; and this is true of all the great commodities of commerce. It is also

true of transportation. If one road cuts

prices ever so little, it deflects shipments at

once. Great operators in business look care

fully for the nickels and even small tractions of nickels, and hence persons of small

incomes who think of the cost of living

must, if they would not suffer, see to it

that every cent does its full share of the

work in making both ends meet Such

ordeals have their advantages as well as in

conveniences. They teach economy; they

make people practical; they promote thrift,

and often lay the foundations of stately for

tunes. We throw out these hints for the

benefit of those who have not devoted special

attention to analyzing difficult problems

connected with the coat of living.

Ingmen to aet together In cider to protect themaelvea in a flght for higher wages, it la certainly not leas infamous for their employers to take a preelsely.almllar coarse In order to force the publlo into oomplianee with their

wishes. Morally there Is no difference between

these two kinds or combination; the purpose and the processes are the same, though the

field of battle Is different. Bat as the combination of the mine owners Is organized to make dear an article of common necessity, that adds to their course an element of injury to the people which does not exist on the other side.

The allusions of the Herald to combina

tions generally Is well timed. Combinations which have for their object the increase of prices of any of the essentials of life can not

be too severely condemned. In every in

stance society suffers. We have "combinations" of railroads for the purpose of advancing freight tariffs, and immediately

up goes the price of transportation, to be followed by an advance on all descriptions

of merchandise. Upon the luxuries of lifs

the advance is scarcely cared for or thought of, but when it touohes food produota, coal, or any of the prime Necessities of life, every family feels the change, for the advance comes directly from their pockets,

and, in a msjority of cases, from those who are illy able to bear the increased burden of living. Banks combine to advance the rate of interest Bondholders combine to advance the price of bonds. Men like Jim

Keene combine to corner wheat

or provisions. Coal operators com

bine to advance the price of

fuel, so that society is continually confronted by some sort of a combination

formed for the purpose of extorting from it

money whereby to advance the individuals

who run the combination machine. As a

general proposition, there seems to be no escape from this network of combinations. The

laws furnish no adequate protection, and

the people find little or no relief, however vigorously they may protest In the case of

coal, the combination comes into existence always just as winter makes its appearance.

We are now told that in Indiana there has a combination been formed

by the mine operators, that prices have been

advanced at the mines, and that on the 1st of October dealers will be compelled to advance prices one cent per bushel, which

will make the cost of block coal, which is now

selling at 11 cents, 12 cents per

bushel. Those who have ' the means will doubtless secure a winter's

supply at prices now current while others

will be required to pay the advance. The indications now are that immediately following the first advance, another cent will

be added, bringing the price of block coal to

13 cents per bushel. Making a liberal deduction for coal purchased at present prices, it is fair to estimate that

the contemplated advances will cost the

city of Indianapolis during the fall, winter and spring seasons at least $100,000. The

fuel problem is of sufficient importance to call for the best abilities of the people, and the subject should not be permitted to sleep.

generally have been held np to opprobrium as

the enemies of the human race because they made certain demands as to wages and agreed

to support one another as to what waa demanded, and mine owners and employers

Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Vincenhes, Ind., Sept 6. On yesterday

an old gentleman by the name of 8 basse rre, living about eight miles southeast

of here in that section known as Chimney Pierre Hills ' (the name was derived

from an ancient pier or pillar of stone now partly destroyed about 15 feet high, shaped ike a chimney and having a sunken square in the base as though designed lor a fireplace, supposed by many to bs a reho of those wonderful prehistoric people, the mound builders) came to this city, and detailed their wonderful discovery of a cavern cut in the solid rock of a bluff, which, if anything like represented, will take its plsce among the most remarkable and wonderful of arcbeelogical discoveries. The Times prints the following account of the discovery, and description of the wonder, which is all the information at hand at this writing: As we learn the story, Mr. Shasserre started out early this morning to seek a sbeep which had strayed away from a flock he was penning for the purpose of shearing. Following along a little path through the hazels skirting toe foot of the Immense bald table of rock, known from the first settlement of the country as Chimney Pierre, he heard the taint bleating of a sheep, apparently from behind a great standing splinter torn from the mass, probably by a

The hock oi the fall was suoh as to deprive him of all power to catch aud save himself. In a few seconds he found himself In a vestibule cut out of the solid rock, and the walls of

beasts like elephants, with masses of shaggy hair falling about their heads and shoulders:

great caw, he says, striped like tigers, and

beasts, upon a yellow background, is deline

and his father and bis mother peacefully asleep in their bed. He gets down and pushes the door slightly ajar. Mrs. Parrott stops
