As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7 in order to avoid delays, on ne- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed any individes nected with the o| fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to | Witorial or Business Departments, according to tener or pur; ne Star took occasion to propos of the progress of the Lexow investigation in New York, that it was to be presumed thay Prosecutor Goff, as a shrewd man, would so time the devel- opment he is making that the largest game of all would be bagged just before the elec- Uons. Mr Goff bas since that time been siven an additional incentive to produce an effect upon the good people of New York- certain matters of late having demonstrated that there are such people, here and there— that the rottenness in the Police Depart- ment is not a matter of chance, but of order; that the corruption of the force, in both its upper and lower ranks, is caused by the corruption of Tammany and Tammany officials. He has been named by the anti- Tammany elements for one of the most desirable effices In the gift of the people, that of chief criminal judge, with a big salary and a term of fourteen years. His election will depend largely upon the extent of the indignation that his disclosures may arouse, Therefore it is now to his personal Interest even more than before to make a climax. That this is his program cannot be doubted for a moment, even at this distance from the si je of the inquiry. A hint of the future was xiven yesterday in the proceeds ingg of e committ when Chairman Lexow showed some frritation that time should be wasted on small matters tending merely cumulative evidence of » corruption and brutality and general inet the police, all of which have been thoroughly demonstrated weeks a The assistant counsel for the committee explained that the time was soon to come when the © missioners of the Police Department would be brought forth as defendants. He that the prosecution is working up a but sure indictment against those officials, and that no time is ¢ wasted. It now remains to be seen whether or not Mr. Goff has overshot his mark. There is no reason to believe that he has. Certainly it stands to reason that this vile mass of corruption could not have existed all these years without having offended the moral nostrils of the highest authorities. Nor does it seem reasonable to think tha- these officers could have held their places with their best senses shocked unless it was to thei® material interests so todo. For Mr. Goff to fail in his final coup would probably be to hurt his canvass for the Record beyond repair. He has not shown himself to be a blunderer so far. | The course of the inquiry for the next fort- | night will attract interest in all parts of the country. bei ee f the intense coacern displayed > lawless Ameri- 3 suspected or | it is not un- n citizens rigi.t In view known to hi: ve also been lawh fair t zest that Ameri permit themselves to be the frightfully immoral e in the great city of Lé the London newspapers.

This will be good for the army, but bad for the Indians. Not unnaturally, the War Department authorities desire to bring about the greatest possible efficiency of the small force which this. country maintains for military purposes, and thor- ough efficiency can hardly be expected when any considerable number of the offli- cers are engaged in purely civil pursuits. But while the War Department has a per- fectly valid claim to the services of every officer and enlisted man in the army, there are other claims that are fairly entitled to at least as much consideration, one of which is the claim of the Indian to protec- ton from those who never neglect an op- portunity to rob him of the little that he is permitted to call his own. The history of this government's dealings with its wards— for so the Indians truly have been and are —is so extremely discreditable to the tion that no honest citizen who has any ac- Quaintance with its details can possibly feel otherwise than «shamed of relationship with such a travesty upon civilization. So long as it was possible, Indian agents and contractors appropriated to their own uses &@ tremendous percentage of the property with which the American people proposed to pay for the lands ceded by, but virtually taken from, the aboriginal owners. Moral forces at length prevailed to such an ex- tent that wholesale robbery was no longer openly possible, but the politician did not permit the Indian to profit to any consid- erable extent by the apparently improved @enditions. After great expenditure of ar- gument, Congress was persuaded to legis- late favorably to the detail of army officers as agents in place of civilians; a result which was greeted joyfully by those who were true friends of the Indian. To the prac- tical politician the act of Congress was a bitter dose—one that could not be swal- fowed gracefully—but the Influences were at once set in motion to breik down the | barrier which Congress had set up for the Indian's benefit, and now it appears as though the politicians had succeeded, and at the same time were safely hidden be- hind a plausible excuse. Of course, it may pe that there is no relationship wh between the effort of the spotlsman action of the War Department, but when a moment's thought is given to the autocratic power vested in t sident of the United States, the Indi friends find It dificult to understand how, without the Chief Mag- istrate’s consent, the law of Congress c: thus daringly be set aside. Very few civ agents have ever been what they took oath to be, viz: “Agents for the Indians most of them have been nothing more tha ropresentatives of their own selfishness or of designing associates, and have simply regarded the Indian ag an incons!derable something through whom wealth and po- litical power might be acquired. The army officer was not so easily corrupted; In fact, there is not on record a single case where the army agent ever indulged In dishonesty at the expense of the Indian or of any one else. But, whether through the machina- tions of the politician or the necessities of the War Department, the Indlan 1s once more te be placed at the mercy of the wolves that have of late suffered a good deal from hunger. ea n’ There is a belief in New York that after police fuvestigation has continued for there the some time in its present lines still be room for it at the top. soe Charity, as represented by M New York, is not doing as much xpected of it toward covering the sins of Tammany. will Mr. Peckham’ will strike many perscns as an el of Mr. Hill beirg merely nent of the logic of the situation. soe One difference between the sugar trust and the train robbers is that the train rob- bers will be caught and punished. o_—___—— China will have hard work in making a retraction of some of the picturesque epi- thets she applied to Japan. es It is feared that sf the fish could hear some of Mr. Cleveland’s thoughts they would refuse to bite. ————_+ + = The Emperer William is negieciing merous opportunities to say things he ve sorry for. —— +e +o Li Hung Chang may have to lecture yet. —— wee SHOOTING STARS.

The arrest of a coachman at Mr. Mor- ton’s home is one of the most scandalous electioneering tricks that we remember, mainty because it is so very paltry, as well as so very mean. When a republican ad- ministration proceeded against Mr. Tilden, the democratic candidate for the presi- dency, on a trumped-up charge tn regard to an old income tax, the scheme had a certain largeness and audacity of iniquity, but the arrest of Coachman Howard is low contempt. —__+ es ___ vT Petty Meanness of It.
