WASHINGTON. TUFSDAY. THE FVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any ether paper ia the city. As a local NEWS puper and Ad- Yertising Medium it bas ne competitor. That army officers are,as a rule, the best Indian agents is a proposition that can hardly be questioned, so no one need be surprised be- cause the President has decided to move on the line laid down in the last Indian appropriation set. The question of military or civilian agents bas been discussed at great length and widely differing opinions have been found to exist, but it must have long agu been evident to the im- partial observer that the material which can be secured by the Indian service for the mixer- able salaries it has to peddie out is very much inferior to that which can be and is being supplied by the United States army. It has been argued that army officers are not business men, and to that statement it may be replied that no business man, of even average ability, unless be be philanthropically inclined, would consent to burden himself with the responsibilities and worries that belong to the existence of am Indian agent. Years ago the unserupulous and politicaily powerful sought such appointments because they afforded daily opportnities for profitable dishonesty, but now the sole reward of an Indian agent is & meager salary, sad even this bas to be wrenched with difficulty from the hands of technically-constructed accounting of- ficers who fulfil the duties imposed upon them by law and custom with the aid of countless yards of that invisible bat entangling product of the captious mental loom which is known as “red tape.” It is true that some army officers are not good basiness men, but the majority of them are perfectly equipped for such work as has to be done by the men who reign over the Indian reservations of the land. Part of the military alphabet learned at West Point is the responsibility for United States property, and this responsibility increases as the officer's rank becomes more exalted. The minutix ef the government's belongings have to be recorded in triplicate and when there is a shortage the responsible officer pays for it out of his own pocket. As a rule the officers who have been detailed as acting agents are captains of long service and experienced in Indian affairs, but this advantage has been perverted by well-meaning people whose stock of informa- tion on Indian matters rests principally on a theoretical foundation. There have been excep- tionally bad army officers, just as there have been abnormally vicious Indians, but it is frontier history that the soldier has been the red man's best friend. Intelligent Indians are fully aware of this, and they do not hesitate to give the facts pablicity whenever opportunity is afforded for the expremion of what some of the so-called friends of poor Lo might term amazingly trea- sonable sentiments. Put the political hack in one of the scales and the army officer on the other end of the beam and the difference ought to be ax easily apparent to every one as it cvi- dently was to the President. —_ oe One of the signs of the times which 1s worthy of at least a little attention is the organization of the Industrial Legion of the United States— a military boty compored exclusively of popa- lists, This army—for that is what it speedily promises to be—comes into existence in re- sponse te action taken by the annual conven- tion of the Farmers’ Alliance. It is expected that every aglebodisd man who voted the peeple's pla ra last November will enlist and be trained (if he is not already expert) in the use of arms. The movement has by no means a pleasing appearance. If the people's party wants to be ready to uphold law by mili- tary force the national guard offers ample op- portunity. If their desires do not tend toward law they had better be plain private citizens unless they are looking for disaster. If one political party puts itself upon a war footing the others will be tempted or compelled to adopt the same course. This republic wants no | demoeratic, republican or populist army organ- | ized within its borders. ———~+ +2 ‘There may be diamonds in Idaho, but sen- sible men will think at least twice before they resign good situations and move westward ir. | quest of the gems which are alleged to be | buried in that land of minerals, Very few | \ NO other house DOES—-EVER DID— or EVER WILL—sell such STERLING QUALITIES st such LOW PRICES a E quote, Saxs Axv Company.
