HOW INDIAN WARS ARB EXCITED.
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.
