A fair illustration of the manner in which hostilities between the Indians and whites are fomented is given in the case of the Neosho Valley Railroad Company, which in spite of the existing treaties with the savages have commenced grading ten miles into the Indian country, with the deolared intention of building the road without waiting for further legislation from Congress, or without asking the consent of the Indians. It is expected that this will give rise to trouble, and no doubt it will, and the Government should take prompt measures to put a stop to the operations of this company and show the savages that there is a disposition to see jus tice done them. The existenoe of Indian reservations is doubtless a great impediment to the improvement of portions of the "West, and our sympathies in a case of this kind are with the railroad com pany and with others who find themselves obstructed and annoyed in carrying out en terprises of importance by the necessity that exists for the maintenance of extensive Indian hunting-grounds. There is only one policy, however, that the Government can pursue in the matter, and that is to protect the Indians from being annoyed by the white men who neither know nor care anything about treaties, and who are only intent upon promoting their own interests. In no other way can constant hostilities upon the plains be pre vented; and while the strong arm of the mili tary must, if necessary, pursue and punish the savages who engage in murder and rapine, it must also prevent the whites from provok ing the Indian wrath by encroaching upon them. The difficulty, however, of doing this is increasing year by year, and doubt less before long it will be practically impossible to keep back the tide of civilization, and there is an urgent demand that steps should be taken to instruct the savages in the arts of civilization, and to teach them how to earn their living in a decent way. The success that has attended the efforts to civilize some of the tribes is en couraging, and much more might be done if attempts are made in the right way. It will be impossible, however, to do a great deal, un less a disposition is shown to maintain existing agreements, and, as a measure of peace and to prevent a murderous retaliation by the savages, the Government ought to interfere promptly to prevent the construction of rail roads in the Indian Territory, no matter how essential they may appear to be to the im provement of the country. BEDFORD STREET. The condition of the Bedford street district is well calculated to create great alarm, and it is of the highest importance that something should be done for its purification before the hot weather sets in. There appears to be no doubt whatever that the relapsing fever has really made its appearance, and some mea sures must be taken to check the progress of this disease if it is hoped to prevent its spreading to all sections of the city. This is a matter that cannot be trifled with, and the necessity for prompt and efficient action is urgent. Mr. Long, the indefatigable mission ary, has been persistent in urging upon the Board of Health, the city authorities, and the public the importance of improving the sanitary condition of Bedford street, and with such means as he could command he has done all in his power to carry on the great work. A single clergyman who has to labor almost alone, and almost empty-handed, can do comparatively little towards reforming either the moral or physical evils of Bedford street, and he ought to have the active co operation of the city authorities and the public at large. Independently of any humani tarian considerations, this is a subject in which every one is interested, and the safety of the people of this great city ought not to be perilled by such a breeding place for disease as is Bedford street and the adjoining courts and alleys. Not only ought the streets, the houses, and the alleyways to be cleaned as thoroughly as possible, but there ought to be a general purifica tion of the inhabitants. The Bedford Street Mission has ample facilities for bathing accommodations, but it is entirely without the means of carrying on a bathing establishment, and it requires the sum of $500 immediately for this purpose. This money ought to be forthcoming without a moment's delay, upon the mere intimation that it is needed, for raking up the garbage in the streets will do but little good so long as the people are allowed to remain in their pre sent filthy condition. Not only should bath ing facilities be provided, but if it is neces sary those who need washing should be com pelled to use the baths- The average Ameri can citizen undoubtedly has a right uuler ordinary circumstances to wash himself or not as he chooses, but the right to breed diaeasa is not one of those guaranteed by a republi can form of government, and the exercise of a little wholesome despotism is what is greatly needed in Bedford street and vicinity. In this connection, too, we again urge the importance of erecting a series of free publio baths on our river fronts at the earliest possi Lie day. Many persons who really ionire to keep themselves clean are not able to perform their ablutions in a thorough manner for want of proper facilities. Free publio baths will not only add much to the comfort of a large portion of the population during the hot months of summer, but they will aid greatly in promoting the general health of the city and in checking the ravages of epi domic diseases. The ordinance introduced at the last session of Councils, appropriating $15,000 for this purpose, ought therefore to be passed without further delay, and the work of erecting the baths commenced im mediately. Whatever else is done, however, the im provement of the oondition of the Bedford street district is a matter that demands prompt action. Mr. Long has been unceas ing in his exertions to improve the sanitary condition of the neighborhood, but he is almost unprovided with funds, and is there fore unable to carry out many of his plans. We therefore hope that the concert to bo given on Thursday evening, May 12, at the Academy of Musio, for the benefit of the Bedford Street Mission, will be liberally patronized. The entertainment promises to be unusually attractive, and well worthy of the consideration of the publio for its own sake. If a large sum of money can be gained by means of it, the objects of the mission will be greatly promoted, and Mr. Long will be able to do much towards accomplishing his re forms. The money realized from the concert it is proposed to devote to the increase of the bathing accommodations at the mission, and to the promotion of other important sanitary objects. Those who may not be able or may not be disposed to attend the concert can ex tend material aid and contribute to a most deserving object by purchasing some of the tickets and recommending the affair to their friends. Every little helps, and this enter tainment affords those who cannot give much an opportunity to make small contributions that will be most acceptable to those who are engaged in the arduous work of fighting the pestilence. OBITUARY. Franklin Prale. This well-kwnown citizen died at noon to day, at his residence on Girard street. Franklin Peale was born lu this city In the year 1705, and had consequently attained the good old age of seventy-five years at the time of his death. He was a son of Charles Wilson Pealc, the fouader of Pcale's Museum and cele brated as a portrait painter, as was also hU elder brother, Rembrandt, who died about ten years ago. The artistic talent which was so marked in many members of the family had not been denied him, but he did not fancy labor at the easel, and in early life turned his attention to natural history, the greater number of pre served specimens of birds, etc., in his father's museum having been the result of his skill in this department. The museum was bis con stant resort, and in it he passed the greater por tion of his youth. In 1833 Mr. Pcale was appointed to the posi tion of Assistant Assayer in the United States Mint in this city. Shortly after receiving his appointment he was sent on an official visit to Europe by the Government, to study the work ing of the mints In the different countries of the world. Nearly two years were devoted to this task, and when Mr. Peale returned to this coun try he had gathered much Information upon the methods of coinage which was of value, as well as elaborate drawings of the improved ma chinery in use in the mints at Paris and London. As the result of his travels abroad, numerous Improvements were introduced into our Mint and found of such permanent value that they are still in vogue. Mr. Peale remained iu con nection with the Mint until 1854, filling in suc cession the positions of Assistant Assaycr, Melter and Refiner, and Chief Coiner. Mr. Peale was twice married, his first wife dying a few years after the birth of a daughter, who is still living. His second wife, who sur vives him, was an heir of Stephen Girard, and in consequcnae of this alliance he became in terested in the numerous attempts which were made to overthrow the will of the philanthro pist After his retirement from the Mint he toek no part in public affairs, but earned a handsome competency by fortunate transactions in the stock market. For some years previous to his death he resided on Girard street, be tween Eleventh and Twelfth. He was a man of great energy and firmness, and his many fine qualities of head and heart had endeared him to a large circle oi irienas. The Perils of Insubance. We have frequently referred to the necessity of extreme caution on the part of persons who insure property against loss by fire, in the examination of their policies. Many a man who thinks himself fully insured dis covers after a disaster that either a failure to specify some of the articles destroyed or qualifying and restrictive clauses furnish a valid pretext for a refusal to award the fall amount of damages. Thus defective Eolicies are rendered nearly as azardous as a total avoiJance of insurance, and the guarantees of insurance companies become a delusion and a snare. Hundreds of enterprising citizens have been ruined by a neglect to comprehend the full scope of their policies, and by lulling them selves into a false sense of security, and simi lar dangers will continually be incurred until the necessity of specifying every article that insurers wish to have covered, and the im portance of comprehending the printed con ditions of the respective companies, are fully understood. A case arising from the disastrous fire at IbePalterson warehouse in August, 18G!), also illustrates other dangers, delays, and incon veniences to which the insured are frequently subjected by the insurers. That building was composed of eight sections, ranging from A to II. Some of the insurance companies asserted that the wall of section II fell before the fire occurred, and if they could have clearly proven that the goods stored in that section had been destroyed by the destruc tion of the building instead of fire, they might have had a valid defense. From the outset, however, they manifested a disposition to compromise the damages, by paying from fifty to seventy-five per cent, of the amount claimed, and a settlement on this basis was accepted by some of the parties who bad goods stored in section II. Messrs. Joseph F. Tobias & Co., however, who had property valued at $50,00 stored in this ill fated building, which was insured to the amount of $45,000, viz., $5000 in the Frank lin Insurance Company, $10,000 in the In surance Company of the State of Pennsylva nia, and $30,000 in the Imperial Insurance of London, declined an offer of the two last named companies to compromise their claims for Beventy-five per cent., and insisted upon the full amount. The President of the Franklin Insurance Company, Alfred (. Baker, after carefully examining all the fao's, was satisfied that a fire bad occurred be' ore the walls of the building fell, and belie :iuj that the parties insured were therefore entitled to the full amount of their policy in bis company, paid that sum, without any abatement, in thirty days after the loss. The Imperial Innursnce Company consented to leave the matter to arbitration, and a full hearing of the case (Samuel N. Dixon, Esq., acting as judge of the arbitration, and George Nor throp and Thomas J. Diehl being counsel for Joseph F. Tobias A Co., and George W. Biddle and John Samuel counsel for the Im perial Insurance Company) resulted in an award to the insured of the full amount claimed, which decision was promptly com plied with. Notwithstanding the voluntary payment by the Franklin Insurance Company, and the subsequent action of the Imperial Insurance Company, we understand that the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsyl vania still declines to adjust the loss on any other basis than the payment of seventy-five per cent, of the amount claimed. In view of the high character of the officers of that institution, we should be greatly astonished at this course if a similar policy was not so frequently persued that it has almost ceased to be a matter of surprise. As a practical result, this system encourages many parties who are insured to claim, after a fire, a greater amount ef dam ages than they have actually suffered, and in the end we believe the insurance companies will lose more than they will gain by endeav oring to secure an abatement of just claims. For the common good of all parties, it is to be regretted that crimination and recrimina tions are of such frequent occurrence. In surance is one of the most beneficent of modern institutions, but its full advantages can only be realized when it is so thoroughly understood and completely systematized that it affords, in all cases, beyond all doubt or equivocation, absolute security for the full amount of damage that is nominally covered by the policies. Thk Vital Statistics op Massachusetts The records of births, deaths, and marriages iu Massa chusetts during the past year develop some curious facts. A comparison between the marriages of American and foreign-bora persons in the State and the births In the families of the same extraction show that while there were twice as many "Ameri can" as "foreign" marriages, there were mote chil dren born of the latter parentage than of the former. In Boston the two classes of marriages were about equal in number; but the births of foreign were as 7 to 3 of American parentage. Yet the total number of births was the largest ever reported. Twins must be scarce, for the plurality births was not 1 In BO. The number of marriages has diminished, being less than In either last year or year before; but there need be no discouragement to those seeking a tender tie, aa it is recorded that a maiden of 88 years be came the sixth wife or a gentleman of 65, and there were three instances of marriage at ages exceeding 80. On the whole, the population of Massachusetts is increasing at the rate ot 29 persons a day, and if half of them settle in Boston, a moiety of Its present Inhabitants may live to see abstractly considered a very considerable cltv, something like New York twenty or thirty years sgo. A cnAKMiNO proposal has been made by an Aus trian Church paper by which the poverty of the priests is to be relieved and the gratitude of the children of Abraham made manifest. It suggests that as the latter not only make their money out of Christians, but are specially Indebted to the priest hood for preaching the sacredness of property, they should give liberally of their substance to help those who are at once their victims and their defenders. In fact, the simplest plan would be to Impose a spe cial tax en the Jews for the support of taose churches which are most In need ; aud no doubt the gratitude of the recipients would be shown la the fervor of their prayers for the conversion of their benefactors.
