The Indian problem is of perennial in- torest. It still awaits solution. Pro- fessor W. G. Sumner makes a contribu- tion to that end in the current number of The Forum, submitting some very prac- tical suggestions and deductions which are worthy of attention. These, it may be premised, are not in line with the the- ories of those who take only the philan- thropic or the sentimental view of the question, Professor Sumner’s habit of thought is to regard the practical side ot things. From this point of view he 1s able only to see that the Indians, in order to be made useful to themselves and not to be a trouble and annoyance to others, must be brought under the influences and requirements of civilization, and not set apart from them in & position of de- pendence and irresponsibility which keeps alive and active the meanest in- stincts of their nature, and has its conse- quences in ignorance, indolence and deg- radation.

It is said upon unques- tioned authority that half of Des Moines’ male population is squint-eyed, caused - by a peculiar move of the optic in the © sight of drug olerks. “Tae siokliest and most sickening word in modern parlance is the word ‘boom.' Let us boycott it," dreanly says the Burlington Hawkeye. This ‘voice from tho grave—this wail of a lost town's soul—should be respected.

A few widely scattered examples may be found of men who have improved considerable areas and brought them to a highly productive state of oultivation, but such are cited to prove the rule of negloot. The reports present a weary story of shiftlessness and pauperization, The renting system has conauced to the improvement of the reservations, but in becoming landlords the effects produced by the rations and supplies furnished by the government have been enlarged and intensified. *‘The Indian,” says Protes- sor Sumner, “is so much like a white man that he will let some one else do the work, if he can get his own living in that way as well as by working him- self. A small living which comes in that way is better to him than any living which be could get by working, The reservation system tends, therefore, to make the [ndian a landiord of the worst kind, both in his individual capacity and as & member of his tribe.” The endeavor to educate the Indian— that is, to give him some instruction in reading and writing—has not been vro- ductive of encouraging results. While he does not cordemn the effort, he evi- dently does not regard it as having the mmportance that its supporters would claim forit. The policy of inducing In- dians 10 become farmers he thinks may be ® mistake. ‘‘Thereis a whole stage of civilization between hunting and agricul- ture. It seems reasonable that the Indisns should be led through this stage, and not lifted over it The téndency of the Indian to take up herdiug om hisown behalf and to engage in freighting are de- velopments whioh Professor Sumner re- gards as offering a distinct hope for the Indian, and suggests that *'it seems wor- thy of consideration whether there might not be more wisdom in following these leadings than ininsisting that the Indians THE east seems to appreciate the intent of Arbor Day, Colonel James Young, of Middletown, Pa., planted 1283 trees—86 fruit trees, 376 willows and 920 locusts. ‘This, we dare say, is a greater number of trees than was planted by any one man in Nebraska on that day.

Bosrow, April 10.—[Correspondence of the BEE.]—Of the many interesting af- fairs that have taken place in Mechanics hall this season, none have attracted more general attention among all classes of people than the “Kirmess of All N tions,” which was held there on Thurs- day and Friday of last week in the in- terest of the Womten’s Educational and Industrial Union, ‘“Have you been to the Kirmess?” is asked by everybody, and the answer 1s universally in the Hours, 0 to 4. Even the expose of 1878 was not a suffi- clent warning, and many hard working women_have been foolish enough to make deposits with the fair deceiver. Mrs. Howe is nowhere to be found, and she is said to have taken $50,000 with her. There will now probably be as much ex- citement in the United States eolony in Canada, as thero was in Mark Twain's mining camp when the miners flocked “in crowds to catch a_glimpso of that rare and blessed spectacle—a woman!' . - - " - . - I wonder if you have heard of that spio; little bout between Messrs.

The Horse Rallway and Oable Kran- chise. In response to the popular demand, as expressed through the BEE, for a definite assurance that the franchise for a cable line sought by the Horse railway com- pany would insure the building of the road within reasonable time, Mr. Guy C. Barton, president of that company,makes a formal statement over his mame to which public attention is called. Mr. Barton, on behalf of the company, makes the pledge that active construction of the cable railway will begin within ninety year from every saloon as an occupation tax, in addition to a license of $500. days after the franchise has been | other hand, the coalition supporting Ex-Senator Dolan, of Indianola, is | firmative. ..

Sheridan county is waking up in a flut- ter of excitement again over the near ap- proach of the Akin damage ‘suit aganst the mobbers, the trial of whichoccurs in the district court next month. Tens of thousands of trees are being church festival or country fair, and it is now Americanized into meaning almost any sort of public entertainment for charitable or religious purposes, The Boston Kirmess was a kind of miniature world’s fair. It consisted mainly of dances, which exhibited the different costumes of various mations, und of market places, well supplied with the products of the countries which they represented. Adding greatly to the in- terest of these novel scencs were the miles of cable railway within two years. Mr. Barton calls attention tothe fact that the company is obligated by the terms of the ordinance to commence the con- struction of its cable road this summer. The only open question is the extent of such construction this year or thereafter. ‘While Mr. Barton’s official pledge does not constitute a guaranty of the con- struction of the _>ad. the fact thatno person or corporation can have exclusive right of way for street railroad purposes that the house go into committee on the bill was adopted. In this position the measure will encounter a mass of amend- ments. Already nearly three hundred have been noticed, and it is impossible to say how far this sort of warfare against the measure way, or will be permitted to extend. It1s more than likely that upon some of these amendments divisions will toke place 1n the coalition ranks, and the liberals are basing a good deal of hope upon the possible breach. It is not at all any rate it is a cold day when candidates for public favor shall dictate to a dis- riminating public how their efforts shall received.

After the Flower th came the French booth, alive with black bodiced “‘mesdamviselles’’ with white caps, who presented an extremely picturesque ap- pearance and spoke good French, The Ttalian booth was attractive with fruits, wines, macaroni, spaghetti, etc. The costumes of the veiled ladies an' Turkish gentlemen in the oriental de- partment were costly, and beautiful al- most beyond deseription, and the apart- ment was fragrant with the rich perfume of ottar of roses. The Swiss village was very attractive with 1ts dairy products and genuine im- ported mosaics. The refreshment tables of the German department were well patronized by Ger- men speaking people, THE KIRMESS POSTOFFICE was_quite a cosmopolitan affair, with mails addressed in many languages. The entertainment of the evening, which was by all means the best feature of the Kirmess, began with a tableau and grand procession of all the dancers, who numbered over 300 young concession from the Haytian govern- ment, permitting her to exploit the valu- able forests of a small Island called Tor- toise island in return for a fixed rent. She exploited the forests successfully enough, but she never paid her rent, and was accordingly sued for it before the Haytian conrts, and her concession with- drawn, She thereupon fled to Jamaica, and claimed damages through her own government to the amount of $710,000, and the British minister backed up her claim, and, it 18 said has even threatened to scize the island as security. The Haytiens produced a provision of the Maunders contract that in case of dispute recourse should be had to arbitration, and on this proposed to refer the matter to the French Court of Cassation, On this offer being declined they oftered toleave it to President Grevy, but Mrs. Maunders rejected this also. The negotiations have thus far been in the hands ot the minister, Mr. Clement Hill, but it is no believed that the home gov- ernment will support his pretentions to popular young men in Omaha. He is bright, active and enterprising. He will not only labor for the best in- terests of the ward, butof the whole city. *While there is nothing certain in this world except death and taxes, Billy Kiersted's election is, we couafidently be- lieve, an assured fact. ey A Growl From a Grumbler. OMAHA, April 26, 1887.—To the Editor of the BEE: As the BEE is the only re- source of the oppressed of this booming, boastful and oarelessly governed city, [ take the liberty of drawing its attention to a device placed by the telephone com- pany for the evident purpose of gouging out the eye of any unhappy, belated traveler who should pass it in the dark. The device I speak of is in the shape of a spike projecting from one of the com- pany’s poles on Cuming near Saunders street. As I was passing the spot a fow evenings ago, a citizen was trymng to induce the intelligent (*) policeman on that beat to have it removed, but the po- liceman with the wisdom of asecond Verges said: *‘No, the company, and the clt{ also, for that matter, will be respon- sible, 80 I will let 1t be."" Such damage would be great consola- tion to the poor feilow who may happen to have his eyes destroyed, and equally 80 to the taxpayers of the city when the; will be cnmnnlflsd to go down into their Dakot Last season’s potatoes have gone up to 10 cents a pound in the retail market of Deadwood. An horest farmer was parading the streots of Deadwood last Monday asking $140 for a loaa of hay. In Brule county wheat is generally all sown and nicely up. Oats are neurly all sown, and some fields show very green. Moody county farmers say that no more favorable auspices for an abundant crop have occurred for yoars. Nearly if not all the seeding of small grain has been done. In the vicinity of Blount are three gas wells, two of which are used by their owners for heating and lighting spm-— poses. Natural gas in Hughes and Sully counties is reported in bountiful quanti- Other Lands Than Ours. The Schnacbeles incident continues to be the most interesting and important topic in European affairs. The facts are still 1n dispute, and the reports coming from Paris and Berlin respecting the views entertained at those capitols are for the most part in conflict. The re- assuring statements said to have been received by the French government from its ambassador at Berlin, regarding ad- missions of Bismarck fuvorable to the French claims in the case, which amounted to a practical surrender on the part of the German government, are not at all in accord with the semi-official statements of the government organ at B’mhline operations at the Jamestown insane asylum will begin early in May.

The repressive pol- 1cy of Germany in Alsace-Loraine to- ward everything French certainly seems to be growing 1n seyerity, and there are some other indications that the relations of the two countries are becoming more strained. A well-informed correspond- ent writing from Paris says he finds it quite impossible to doubt that war will come, and that before very long. He quotes as authority for this opinion Lord Wolseley and Sir Charles Dilke, General Boulanger and M, Clemenceau. Leaving Russian imperial policy and Austrian domestic affairs on one side, as practically incomprehensi- ble, the sumplest and most matural way in which war can come will be th: France and Germany will steadily in- crease their armaments until the strain becomes too great for one of them to bear. This one will undoubtedly be first Germany, and if at that time Prince Bis- marck is in power, the probability seems to be that he would cut the knot by mak- ing some demand for explanation of the diplomatic action of France, which the latter would reject, and the recrimin tions which would follow would crystal- ize into a casus belll. 1f not in this way, then, just as 1n one of the continental cathedrals, a circle. of armed knights guards the tomb of the dead bero, and at. he nsserts that they waste large sums of money for very sl results.

STEPHEN J. BRODERICK, Sec. ————— Captured a Daylight Robber. Silas Robinson effected a bold robbery at noon yesterday. He smashed in s show case of a restaurant on Capitol ave- nue near Twelfth street, and grabbed the money inside—$585. He then ran - toward the river and escaped for the time. Officer Ormsby, however,obtained his description and cleverly captured him at the depot as he was about to get on atrain tor Council Bluffs, Painting the Viaduot.

Howe of this city. The scheme was plausible enough. The Ladies De- posit was & woman's bank, the proprie- r was a woman, and no one but wo- men could deposit. Mrs. Howe first started her bank about nine years ago, offering to pay the enormous amount of 8 per cant. per month on deposits, in- terest being payable three months in ad- vance, On the strength of this she soon had deposits amoun $600,000, Her deceit was soon discovered and sie was sent to.the house of correction for. three daughter, the rescuer of Moses.
