Probably both the world and he would be better off if he were to be hanged, but that isn’t the question. eee ‘¢GHAME. UPON this government!” exclaims the Washington Has/- ington, speaking of the Indian question. It appears to be neces sary to blame everybody but the Indian, and the government has broad shoulders.

SHELVED? OH, NO! GOVERNOR HILL doesn't go to the senate with the purpose of being shelved. Oh, no! That isn’t the kind of man and politician Governor Hill is. He thinks he is a better candidate for president at Washington than he would be at Albany. He has sacrificed himself in behalf of the harmony of the party—that is what he thinks. He feared that ifthe ran for governor again he would be whipped by the friends of Grover Cleveland, and that would have been far from harmonious. He feared a contest in the struggle over the senatorship, for the Democratic margin was as brief as a midnight candle, and he threw himself into the breach to aid the party, if not to save the senatorship. Now he wants his reward, and it must come in ‘92—four years are too long a time to wait, and the great west will have its candidate in 96. Meanwhile he will hold the reins over the party in this state. He will control the delegation, and it will be for him. Meanwhile, also, he will show the senate what alert- ness and vigor are, and how state politics may be engineered from that sumptuous and somewhat somnolent chamber. There is a good deal in politics yet to be learned from our David. Do not bid him farewell—he has but just arrived. JUSTICE FOR THE WHITE MAN. THE GREATEST GOOD to the greatest number is the purpose of all . good government. Under this rule many white men must unavoid- ably suffer; but the fittest man, in the fight of brain against brain, has the best right to survive. It is pitiful that the Indian should be “driven back and back,” as the school-books have it. It is shameful that the agents of the government should treat him un- fairly. But what are you going to do? It is a curious fact that in all Indian campaigns the friends of the Indian are the first to suffer. The best friend the Indians had was N. C. Meeker, and he was murdered and his daughter given a worse fate. In the present struggle several officers prominént for their work in behalf of Indians have been shot to death; and among others marked for victims were teachers of Indian schools. Is the Indian capable of gratitude? Can he be trusted in any emergency? And is it right through a too merciful management to sacrifice white men and women year after year to his unconquerable savagery ? OUR COSTLY INJUSTICE. MB-JUGIRO, the distinguished Jap- anese murderer, will not be killed until the latter part of the year, if at all. It will cost the people perhaps a hun- dred thousand dollars more to keep him till that time, in view of the legal expenses involved; and there may follow appeals from decisions until he dies of old age or commits suicide out of self-respect. Perhaps it would be well to abolish capital punishment. Not that that would be right or wise; but the other system is so gorgeously expensive that the people cannot afford it. HOW THE MIGHTY HAS FALLEN. S ATOR INGALLS is always brilliant, but in his late speech on the silver bill he descended from the high position of public cynic and clearly showed the influence of alliance politics. Rumor had previously informed him that the rise of the farmers’ movement emanated from the brain of a late confederate general, and that its purpose was the de- struction of the Republican party in the western states ; that in obedience to the behests of a southern triumvirate the western farmer, oath-bound, walked in silence to the polls and deposited his alliance ballot. This statement found practical proof in the remarks of Senator-elect Gordon ‘of Georgia, who advised that the alliance keep out of politics in the south, but take deep interest in politics in the western states, ‘These statements make the present position of Senator Ingalls all the more remarkable. From his previous career the country had expected to find him vigorously fighting the class movement of the farmers, and not giving his adherence to principles which of necessity will hurt the class which they attempt to help. Had he fought to a mental finish in his state the contest between sound economic laws and the wild theories of a party whose leading advo- cate makes the boast that he wears no socks, the common sense of the people of Kansas could well have been intrusted with the result, comicbooks.com
