The statement having reached Wash- ington that the present dissatisfaction among the Indians is due more to lack of rations than to a religious eraze, Gen- eral Miles has, under instructions from General Schofield, sent the inspector general of the military division to muke an investigation. The expressions of General Brooke, as reported by Tun Bee correspondent at Pine Ridge agency, are most important on this point. Onbeing informed of the amount of rations the Indians receive the commander of the department of the Platte is said to have declared emphatieally that they are too little. **Who of us don’t know,” he is quoted with saying, “that people can not live on that, I don't care whether they are Indians or what they are? People can’ be satisfied, contented or anything else if they don’t have enough to eat,” said General Brooke, **and the government should be finding it out pretty soon.” Our correspondent adds the testimony of his observation regarding the general emaciated appearance of the Indians at Pine Ridgo agency. This is a disclosure which, if shown to be well founded, will put a very differ- ent aspect upon the Indian disturbancos and will be very likely to create a de- cided change in public feeling. ‘Whereas the general sentiment now is in favor of the employment of sovero pressive mensures and the summary punishment of the leaders of the disturb- ances when they can be secured, if it be shown that the Indians have been led to make their dem- onstration by the desperation of hunger rather than from a religious craze, there will be widespread sym- pathy with them, Certain people who are always ready tocharge the whole responsibility for these outbrenks upon the government have already declared that the present disturbance is due to the neglect of the government to prop- eyly care for the Indians, and though very little attention has been paid to them it appears not improbable that theircharge will be sustained. Atany rate it is the obvious duty of the government to make a thorough in- vestigation, and if the supply of food furnished the Indiansis found to be in- adequate there should be no delay in in- creasing it. The very large maj the Indians in the Sioux reserva unable to earn anything, and are wholly dependant upon the government. Every humane covsideration demands that they shall be given enough to cat, and this great and wealthy nation can afford to do this and cannot afford to do less. THE SHIP SUBSIDY LOBBY. It is authoritativeiy reported that the ship subsidy lobby at Washington is all ready to make a vigorous movement on the house of representatives in behalf of the subsidy bills whicn have passed the senate. As to the chances of these measures in the house opinions differ. There would probably be no doubt of their becoming laws if the demands upon the treasury already provided for were not certain to require all the re- sources, with the danger that the cur- rent fiscal year will close with a deficit, One of the bills is adistinet subsidy measure. It provides for the payment to any vessel of more than five hundred tons gross register, whether sail or steam, constructed and wholly owned by citizens of the United States, and which shall be engaged in the foreign trade, the sum of fifteen cents per ton for the first five hundred miles sailed outward and the same sum for the first five hun- dred miles sailed inward on any voyage, an equal amount for the second five hun- dred miles sailed outward and inward, thirty cents per gross ton for each one thousand miles thereafter, and pro rata for any distunce sailed less than one thousand miles after sailing the first one thousand. The payment at the rate of thirty cents per ton for each one thou- sund miles sailed is to continue for the term of ten years. Itis provided that no vessel is to be entitled to the benefits of the act unless its entire cargo shall be loaded at a port or ports of the United States and discharged at one or more foreign ports, or shall be loaded at one or more foreign ports and discharged at a port or ports in the United States. The other measure is known as the postal subsidy bill, and authorizes the postmaster general to contract for from five to ten years with American citizens for the carrying of mails on American steamships between ports of the United States and such ports in foreign countries as in his judg- ment will best subserve and promote the wostal and commercial interests of the United States. It is provided that the steamships are to be American built, of the most approved types, and are to be divided into four classes, All must be built of iron and steel, except the fourth class, which may be wooden vessels; are to have a gross tonnage respectively of eight thousand, five thousand, twenty- five hundred and fifteen hundred tons, and be capable of maintaining a speed respectively of twenty, sixteen, fourteen and twelve knots, It isprovided that the rate of compensation of the first class ships is not to exceed six dollars a mile for actual number of miles required by the postofice department to be trav- eled on each outward voyage, the rates for the other classes being respectively three dollars, one dollar and a half and one dollar a mile. There are provisions relating to the employment of A merican citizens on such steamships and the use of the vessels by the government as transports or cruisers, All the arguments that have ever been made in favor of building up an Ameri- can merchant marine are still in force, The fact that our foreign commerce is almost wholly carried on in foreign ships is humiliating to our national pride and doubtless a disadvantage to our commerpial interests. It transfors annually between one and two hundred million dollars from the pockets of our own people to those of Furopeans, The people have been made very thoroughly acquainted with these facts and others equally impressive in connection with this sub- ject. But there isno indication that they have generally become more favor- able to subsidies. On the contrary, there 1s reason to believe there has lnevm' been a time in the last twenty-five years when such a policy was move un- popular thau at present. The majority party in the house of ropresentatives will need to consider carefully the popu- lar temwper before it ventures to nct upon this question, The obvious fact {s that thoe people are determined to ob- tala o reduction of the burden of taxas tion and they will not complacently tolerate any addition to their obliga- tions, especially of this nature. The knowledge of this, with the prospective condition of the national treasury, will doubtless be suflicient to thwart for the present the ship subsidy advocates, A COMING PENSION FIGHT. The democratic newspapers of New York and New England have begun a vigorous warfaro on the pension system, This is of sufficient importance asa po- litical development to be telegraphed over the country, The dispatehos stato that the demo- crats predict a pension deficiency this yoar of forty million dollars, that they claim persistoncs in the pres- ent course would **bring the country to hopeless bankruptey,” and that they will enter the nextcampaignupon a platform demanding that “*a stop be put to the is- suance of pensions.” This is news of the first importance and it is well that it comes in season to secure a full and fair discussion of the issue. [t will strilco the average republican that the democrats have started out jauntily to walk into the jaws of an- other phenomenal blundor, as thoy have done on several famous oceasions. It cannot be denied that there is an evil in the pension system as now administered. It is true that professional patriotism has had too much to do with recent pen- sion demands and somo of the legisia- tion accomplished thereby. It is true that the benelits of the law have in somo respeets been extended beyond what was necessary and just, and that far too large a share of the vast sums paid out by the government goes to envich the pension sharks who make a business of discovering and exaggerating cases that come under the law. There isneed of re- form in the method of administering the system to the end that honest pensioners shall recoive what the government pays out, and that plutecratic patriots shall no longer thrive at the expense of the pensioners and the government alike, The demand for unreasonable pensions does not come from men who actually served the country and are now sick and needy, That most deserving class has already been well provided for by a gen- erous country, The howl for the looting of the treasury proceeds from men who preserved their health by keeping well in the rear when the war was on, and from men who have established success- fully what they cail “a pension practice’ at Washington. There is absolutely no limit to which these two classes of mer- cenaries would not carry the pension hobby if they had their way, But while all this is true, it by no means follows that the country is ready to *‘stop the issuance of pensions.” To do so would be to violate the sacred pledge of the nation and to leave tens of thousands of union veterans in want. It is when, under the leadership of 1ts rebel brigadiers and northern non-com- batants, the democratic party advocates such a policy of injustice and dishonor that it invites defeat. The republicans have only to leave the pension laws un= der reasonable limits and regulations to win back on this issue all that they have vecently lost on others, WHAT SHOULD BE DONE. The Fifty-first congress will reassem- ble for the second and short session next Monday. What is the duty of the majority party in view of the judgment recently passed upon its work by the people? Republican opinion is widely at variance as to what should be done. The most influential western newspapers demand amodification of the tariff law as to those features which the popular judgment has unmistakably condemned. They insist upon this as absolutely essential to the success of the republican party twoyears hence, A few westorn republican members of congress have been quoted as holding a like viow. Eastern republican journals, which for the most part voice the views of thé manufacturers, insist that the new law shall remain in- tact, professing to believe that it will in a short time demonstrate that there are no such evils in it as the people have been led to think, Thus there is a sharply deflned division of republican opinion on this very vital matter, It is not easy for a party to recede at once from a policy adopted after the ma- ture deliberation that was given the new tariff law, but if tho republican leaders in congress have any regard for popular opinion tney will not hesitate to do so. It is not necessary in order to satisfy the péople to make a general revision of the new tariff. - A reduction of duties in the few schedules that include the necessi- ties of all classes of the people will be sufficient to sutisfy the popular demand, and this can bo done without injury or danger to any intevest. There have been no commercial or economic condi- tions established under the new law to which such changes would do violence. The manufacturers to be benefitted by the higher duties have not advanced the wages of laborand they have not se- riously involved themselves by paying higher prices for the raw materials, They would simply lose the greater tribute they are counsing on, and which is unnecessary to the maintenance of their industries, We do not share in the apprehension that any serious industrial disturbance would ensue. There would be a vigorous protest, undoubtedly, from many manufacturers, though this would not be universal with them, but they would readily adjust themselves to the new order. Wo are mot confident that the republican leaders in congress wili have the wisdom to take this course. It is to be apprehended - that they are so strongly wedded to the idea of immoderate protec- tion that even the overwhelming popu- lar verdict aguinst them will not lessen the ardency of their attachment to that idea. Butif such shall prove to be the case the chances of republican success in 1692 will cortainly bo very greatly ‘im- perilled. With the agricultural section of the country and New BEngland dis- tinetly opposed to the higher tariff, the ropublican party cannot look hopefully to the result Two years hence if that tarift fs mainthfifed. Tt will dopend vory largely upon phgreprosentatives of those sections to dejermine whether theve shall be any. moedification of the new policy. 4 — Tne BeE s compelled to make an apology to the boodle trinity of the com- bine. When The Bek stated that tho city was paying three and a half per cent to the arthitects on the cost of the city hall building, it was not up to the mark. We now cheerfully correct the mistake. The amount which the archi- tects expect to collect will be five per cent on the cost of the building. That will give them seventeen thousand five hundved dollars and to this should be added the salary of superintendent for two years, or three thousand six hundred dollars, which will swell the total for thoso precious plans and thesupervision to over twenty- one thousand dollars. This is doing business on economical principles, If the trinity of jobbers that are running the combine have any explanation to maketo the taxpagers of Omaha for this raid on the treasury, the columus of THE Ber are open to them.

It has been the means of imposing unjust burdens on the debtor class and has boen worked to its utmost limit by attorneys. It opened the doors of the federal courts for appeals solely to squeeze litigants and pile up costs forbidden by state laws and state courts.

They hold a mortgage on a majority of the council, and whatever they decide upon goes through with a rush. In other words, two men control the management of a fund aggregating three hundred thou- sund dollurs—a poverand privilege never before wielded or atterpted by an equal number of men, That this assumption of power has been shamelessly abused, amatter of record. And yet the bood- lers pose bofore the public as the pro- business moters of affairs, methods in city THAT extra thousand dollars gener- ously donated by ‘the combine to the city hall architects is a delightful specimen of business methods in public af The architects will doubtless reciprocate in kind, now that the political health of the combine is seriously menaced, THE Clan-na- bine is in a painful state of anxiety, Asa consequence business in the city clerk’s office will be partially suspended during the week and the energies of the foreo directed toward the political salvation of the Twenty-eighte AT last accounts the inspectors of public works had not reached the ‘‘com- pletion of their ability to serve the city.” For the time being the political contracts of the combine require the undivided attention of Birkhauser's sub- ordinates. —_— HoNEsTY and economy in city affairs cannot besecured while the combine of boodlers control every avenue to the city treasury, THE organ of the boodlers should tap another combine “bar’l.” The .Questhm of thé Hour, Chicago Mail.

A private dispatch received in this city this morning outlines a rather sensational story, It is to the offect that S drick, a colored man former! nad confessed or had told to some parties in St Louis that he had stabbed a man in Li coln in the latter part of 1885, Definite in for- mation is yet to be obtained, but it is thought by the officers that the man referred to was named Erickson, son a farmer living neav Lincoln, Erickson visited the house of Francis Clark, known as “Big Five,” Q street, one night in the latter part of 1858, ‘and speut covsiderable monoy there, He became embroiled in a difficulty with some one of the ates and was stabbed in avital partof the groin with a penkuife. The case was never reported to the police, and the facts were not known until some weeks afterward, whon Krickson died. On his deathbed, itis said, he told the story, but refused to give the name of the party who did the stabbing or when it occurred, The case was reported 10 the police, but they could secure no evidence and it was dropped. It was believed that Lillie Vine was the mvrderess. About a year ago Lillie committed suicide at Beatrice. Kenrick was the porter at the establishment where the murder was committed and it is believed that he was somebow mixed up with the crime. CONCERNING THE RELIEF SUPPLIES, Governor Thaver has sent the following instructions to the various county clerks and county commissioners of the state concern- ing the distribution of supplies awong the needy farmers : “The work of furnishing relief to the drought sufferers has assumed such great proportion that I haveorganized n state relief committee, They are hard at work formulat- ing plans for affordicg the necessary relief beyond what your county can give, ‘‘In order to secure frce transportation we must have a complete organization for dis- tributing supplies in each county. Will you perfect sucg an organization in your county at once. You will roquired to givo @ receipt to the railtoad company for tho supplies sent to your county, and in turn must iusist upon those whom you appoint to distribute these supplies tak- ing & reccipt from the parties receiving them. T am compelled to insist upon & com- pliance with this order for counties that will not organize canuct be given assistance, *‘Rev. Geo, W. Martin, D.D,, has beon ap- pointed superintendent of relief with head- quarters at Lincoln. Will you please com- municate with him immediately upon com- pletion of your organization, **You are expected to keap an accurate list ot all supplies you distribute of-every kind, taking names of parties to whom given, and naming the articles so that a full account can bo rendered of everything. You will please keep these accounts in duplicate and return one to this oMmce when the work is over. “*I enjoin it upon you especially to seo that the supplies of every kind are distvibuted fairly among those who need them; you must. not give unfithiug 1o those people whom you know are able to take care of themselves, This is the only” aiieulty T meot with in regard to peovle giving. “They say many persons will get @ portion of the supplics whose circumstances are such that thay do not need m but can easily take care of themselves, This is undoubtedly sometimes true, that people who have an abundance will brofess to be in need and take portions of the contributions which should only go to those who are in absolute nced of them, [ insist you must guard against any distribu- tion of the donations to that class of people who, though abundantly able to take care of themsclves are wiling to thrive at the expense of the sufferers, These human ghouls must be guarded against with ull the vigilance you can command. I'he people are giving cheerfully and they only want the assurance that it, will go to tflu des- titute ard the suffering. 1t probably is the case that many who are nceding assistance live at remote points from the county seat. It willbe your duty to sce that they are no- tiied of the arrival of supplios at your place so they can bo ready to tecelve their share, I beg you to see that none who are in need are over- looked, but divide everything with an im- partial hand. There must bo no discrimina- tion for or agaiust any person in want. Di- vide th into small_quantities so that it may go around among all. All accounts of recoipts and disbursements will be subject o inspection when this relief work is completed respectfully, Joux M. Tuaver, Governor.
