Omaha 10 remain without a chief ef po- i Phases of Indian Life. An exceedingly interesting report may he expected from tho senate select com- mittee, directed to investigate certain al: legations with respect to appointments to Indian traderships, if it shall include in the report the results of its observa- tions of Indian life. There does not ap- pear to be any very strong reason why the committee should not give congress and the country the benefit of these ob- servations, and there are good reasons why it would be well to do so. The legitimate business of the committee s of course to ascer- tain what have been the effects, personal and political, of the sweeping removals and appointments of traders under the present administration, but it does not seem impracticable to find a re- lation between the system as managed and the course of life of the Indians that would justify a very full explanation of the latter as the committee saw it. With regard to the legitimate f unction of the committee. a part of which 18 still engaged in taking testimony, enough has been developed to show that most of those removed have suffered serious hard- ships, and that regardless of political con- siderations mon engaged in this busi- ness should not be subjected to the ordi- nary policy in the distribution of public patronage. An Indian trader is required to invest capital in the business ranging in amount from $12,000 to $50,000. As the Indians receive annuities, a consider- able part of what they get from the traders is given on credit. The traders testify that they usually have one-half or three-quarters of their investments out- standing. The Indian pays promptly enough to those who remain in business and continue to trust them, but the trader who closes hisdoors or is ordered away is fortunate if he secures a small part of what is due him. Thus many of those who have been removed have lost nearly the whole of their investments, while others have been utterly bank- rupted. 1t is understood that the com- mittee is & unit in the opinion that these traderships should be regarded as purely business enterprises, not to be arbitrarily interfered witn and disposed of as re- wards of political service, ‘With regard to the committee's obser- vations of Indian life, the members seem to haye been strongly impressed with the fact that after all these years of govern- ment care and philanthropie endeavor 8o little had been accomplished in bring. ing the lndians to the conditions and ob- servances of civilized life. The commit- tee visited the Kaw reservation, whero 120,000 acres of as good land as there is in the west are the property of 197 indi- viduals, including women and children. They are worthless beggars, and in a ride of twenty-five miles across the reser- vation the committes saw not a single sign of inhabitancy except the wire fences of the cattle men and the agency buildings. In the Osage country a million and a half of acres are reserved for about fifteen hun- dred people, two-thirds of them full bloods as worthless and ulmost as devoid of the conditions of civilization as were their ancestors of a century ago. A ‘‘re- ligious festival” was in progress and the orgies incident to this extraordinary pro- ceeding, together with the presence of a host of polygamous wives who are bought like cattle and treated worse, of naked youths of both sexes, and an army of un- sightly dogs, were to the grave and reverend senators an ‘‘unex- pected and painful revelation.” As an illustration ot how little the average Indian can be depended to permanently subject himself to the influ- ence of education and the requirements of civilized lite, it was found that two of the sprightliest of the Indians, bedecked in the most approved Indian fashion, were graduates of the Carlisle Indian school who have retapsed into shameless savagery. It is not surprising that the committee came away from this display filled with the conviction that the Indian policy of the nation is not thus far a shin- ing success. , We submit that it will be an unfor- tunate omission if the committee does not incorporate these experiences in their report to congress. Whether rele- vant to the subject of their inquiry or not, theyare both interesting and in- structive, and trustworthy information of this sort 1s needed by a considerable body of people in this country who are doing homage to an ideal that exists nowhere outside of their impressible imaginations, em—————— Judge Appelget. The Hon. Thomas-Appelget, of Tecum- seh, has been appointed judge in the First judicial district. In this judicial appointment, as in all others made by him, Governor Thayer could not have chosen a man better qualified nor one more deserving. Mr. Appelget, while ranking foromost among the lawyers of his dustrict, has always been an uncom- promising republican, is an old soldier, and during his eighteen years law vractice in Nebraska he has made a reputation for honesty and integrity that no man will question. Out of the many candidates for this position, Church, Stull, Humphrey, David- son, Babeock, and others—among them some excellent gentlemen, none would have given more general satisfac- tion than the appointment of Judge Ap- pelget. There seemed to be a question as to whether the First district really needed another judge, but as the legislature cre- ated the position, and there wasa va- caney, Governor Thayer has filled it well. EEREE———— Theory and Facts. Judge Kelley, of Penusylvania, distin- guished as one of the foremost champions of protection, and, in the language of a contemporary, probably ‘‘the best all- around pig-iron man in the United States,’” has recently returned from a second trip to the south, where he visited the manufacturing sections. It will be remembered that on the return of the venerable gentleman feom his first trip, ‘some months ago, he gave a glowing aec- countof the condition and prospects of the fndustrial movement at the south, all of which he found due largely to the foster- iug care of protection. On his last visit he seems to have somewhat en- larged the scope of his observations, and he comes back to say that farmers of the regions he visited are having a remarka- ble prosperity, which, of counrse, must also be oredited chiefly or wholly to the beneficent influerice of protection. These farmers have not yot learned to take the fullest advantage of their opportunity, but they are gaining knowledge, and as they grow in it their prosperity will in- erease. The absolute faith of the veteran pro tectionist in his theory is the growth of a lifetimo and will abide with him to the end. He could not sce anything different, though the evidences were piled up before him mountain high. But there are others not so entirely sur- rendered to the illusion that protection 18 the bulwark of the farmer, and such will be accessible to facts. The cradle and chief beneficiary of protection is Penn- sylvania, and yet 1t is stated upon ofticial authority that since 1870 there had been a steady depreciation of farming lands in that state, while large regions have been almost depopulated because their cultivation had become un- profitable. There is no other state in the union from which there has been a larger emigration of farmers during the past ten or fifteen years than from Pennsylvania, and the exoeus still goes on. Towns that were thrifty a fow years ago by reason of the prosperity of the agricultural country surrounding them ere now going to decay. If protection accomplishes so much for the benelit of agriculture, surely the good results should be .apparent in New England. But as we showed some time ago there is no part of the country in which the farmers sre in & more hapless and hopeless condition than those of New England. We have at hand a statement showing that in Vermont there was a decrease of 22 per cent in the agricultural woalth during the de- cade from 1870 to 1880, and there is not the least reason to doubt that it has con- tinued to decreaso since. In some of the other New England states the decline has been greater than this, Farming in New England to-day is its most improfit- able industry. It is very likely that for a time the farmers south who are near the centers of manufacturing activity will pros- per from the growth of those centers in population, but it is impossi- ble to see what part protection will play, even indirectly, in such prosperity. At all events the facts derived from those sections where protection has found its strongest support, and is held to have given its greatest benefits, do not show that agriculture is a sharer in its claimed advantages. Production of the Precious Metals. The report ot the director of the mint for the calender year 1886, shows an in- crease in the production of gold in the United States over that of the preceding year of $3,200,000, whule the production ot silver was slightly less than in 1885. ‘Lhe estimates are: Gold, $35,000,000; sil- ver, $51,000,000. Ascompared with 1880, the silver production last year was larger by nearly $12,000,000, while the compara- tive producticn of gold shows o decrease for last year of $1,000.000. Colorado takes first rank as the largest producer of the procious metals, Mon- tana the second place and California the third. ‘The production ot Nevada and New Mexico has decreased, while that of the other states has remained almost un- changed. Texas is now for the first time included in the list of states producing the precious metals, she having last year added to the silver supply to the extent of $200,000. During the last fourteen years the annual supply of silver from all the mines of the world has largely in- creased, the total production for last year being double that of 1872, or $124,- 000,000. The estimated stock of coin in the United States on the first of last January is stated at $884,000,000, consisting of $500;000,000 in gold and $324,000,000 in silver. In addition to this the government owned gold and silver bullion to the value of $88,400,000. Less than half the stock of coin is in active circulation, the larger part being in the treasury of the United States and the banks of the country. It s all available, however, as & na- tional asset, and shows the country to be abundantly well off in this particular. It may be interesting to note a fact not embraced in the report of the director of the mint, that ever since the country began to prepare for resumption there has been an inflow of gold of more than double the outflow—that 18, an importa- tion approximately of $340,000,000 and an exportation of about $160,000,000. The production for nine years, from 1877 to 1886, added to this about $327,000,000, giving a net acquisition of gold for that period of $507,000,000. This . is not all in the form of money, but the fig- ures of the mint report show :that much the greater part of it is. Itis evident that the world's supply of the precious metals is ample, and the United States is producing and retaining its share. . ] The Council and the Chief of Police. Chiet of Police Seavey presented his official bond for $10,000 to the council for approval and the council has ordered its reference to the committeo on . police. At the same session of the council . the new street commissioner and several other officers, appointed by the mayor, presentea their official bonds and they were promptly approved. The bond of the chief of police was signed by sureties who qualify under oath that they are worth double the amount of the bond, over and above their liabilities, The re- fusal to acceptrthis bond is therefore not on account of its supposed insufficiency, but on the grounds stated by Councilman Ford, namely: That the chief of police cannot qualify until after the council has approved the rules and regulations sub- mitted by the police commission, This is an assumption without an; foundation inlaw. lts direot effect woul be to nullify the powers of the police and fire commission, and make its exercise of authority dependent upon the will and whim of the council. The charter ex- pressly vests the power of appointing the chief of police in the board of fire and police commissioners, That appoint- ment has been duly made, The only condition imposed upon the chief ot po- lice by the charter before he can assume chargs of the police force 18 embodied 1n Section 163, which requires *‘every officer of ythe city, before entering upon his official duties, to take and subscribe an oath to faithfully discharge the duties of his office, which oath shall be in writ- ing, and shall be filed with the ity clerk. » ‘Whenever Mr. Seavey files this oath in the city clerk’s office he becomes the offi- cial head ot the police, subject only to directions from the board of police and fire commissioners. Section 146 reads as follows: “The chief of police shall have the supervision and control of the police force of the city, and in that connection THURSDAY. MAY 26, 1887. he shall be subject only to the board of fire and police, and all orders of the board relating to the direction of the po- lice force shall bd given through the chief of police, or in his absence, the officer in charge of the police force.” The bond presanted by Chief of Police Seavey was merely a matter of form. The charter does pot require a bond from the chief of police, nor is there any ordinance to that effect. Mr. Seavey's bond was made out under an old ordinance that tixes the bond of the city marshal at $10;000. The city mar- shal's office has bben abolished. No such officer can legally exercice police authority under our charter. As a mat- ter of fact, Thomas Cumings ceased to be city marshal of Omaha on March 30th, when the new charter, which did not continue the office of city marshal, went into effect. Ho exercises his authority to-day simply as a police officer, tempo- rarily in charge of the police force. He is not city marshal, because there is no such office. He is not chief of po- lice, because neither mayor nor council have authority to appoint a chief of po- lice, even temporarily, and furthermore bacause the police commission has ap- pointed another man, This wae take to be the dry matter-of-fact law of the case. The council may hold back its approval of the bond of the new chief, but it can- not prevent him from assuming official charge of the police force from the mo- ment he has filed his oflicial oath with the city clerk. Any other version of the law would be subversive of the funda- mental object of the metropolitan police system. —— Tue effort of Mr. Patrick Egan to se- cure o hearing before a Dublin jury of the charges publicly made against him has failed, as very few people doubted it would. The under secretary for Ireland has notified him that the government can make no conditions in relation to his re- turn to lreland, but Mr. Egan has never- theless renewed the challenge, denounc- ing the charges in vigorous terms. YFrob- ably no attention will be vaid to his second communication, but whether there is or not we think Mr. Egan. may feel assured that he is sufticiently vindi- cated in the judgment of those whose good opinion is of any value to him, * A STRAIGHT republican convention to nominate a straight republican board of education, is called for by a paper whose editors and proprietors did ,not vote for the straight republican candidate for mayor—three weeks ago. ‘THis city should be divided into two districts for meat and milk inspection.
