MR. LO ON THE WAR PATH.
With the departure of winter and the ap
proach of the warm weather appear the ojmal
indications of hostile activity among the In
dians, and the proRpeots are that the coming
season will be marked by the usual amount of
bloodshed and outrage. A despatch from
Arizona, which we published yesterday, repre
sented that the Indian depredations in that
Territory are increasing with frightfal
rapidity, and gave a list of murders, rob
beries, nd assaults committed by the savages
during the month just past. It is apparent
that the Indians of Arizona propose to carry
on a bloody warfare during the coming sum
mer, and it is not improbable that through
out the entire Indian region hostilities will
be resumed, and the peaceful solution of the
difficulties between the white and red men be
rendered harder than ever to accomplish. It
is not pleasant to think of the extermination
of the aboriginal raoes of this continent as
the only solution of the difficulties which now
exist upon our Western plains, and whioh im
pede the march of civilization; but oertainly
at present there does not appear to be any
other practical solution, nnlesr there is a total
and radical change in our whole Indian
policy. The Government ought to make a
more decided effort than it has ever yet done
to induce the IndianB to give up their
nomadio life and to settle down as cultivators
of the ground. Some of them have been
persuaded to do this, and with such success
that there is reason to hope others will follow
their example, if the proper pressure is
brought to bear upon them. So long as the
Indian tribes are treated with as if they were
independent nations, and are bribed with
gifts and money to keep the peace, so long
will Indian agents have opportunities to plun
der, and the usual outrages will continue
season after season until the red race is finally
Bwept from the faoe of the earth. But if the
savages are encouraged to become citizens,
and are carefully protected in their rights as
such, there may be some hope for them, and
some expectation that Indian warfare upon
the Western plains will, ere a great many
years, be heard of no more. All that has yet
been done toward civilizing the savages has
been done by private enterprise; but now that
private individuals have demonstrated that
some of the Indians, at least, are both will
ing and anxious to be civilized, it is time that
the publio at large, and the Government as
the representative of the people, should make
a really earnest attempt to put an end to a
condition of affairs upon the plains which is
not creditable to the nation.
A HIGH- TONED JENKINS.
We published, a few days ago, an extraot
from an article in a late number of Scribner'a
Monthly, describing a visit to the famous
novelist Dumas, which was written by Mr.
Bigelow, formerly United States Consul and,
for some time, United States Minister at
Paris, as well as ex-editor of the New York
Evening Post and of the New York Times.
The artiole itself is piquant and entertaining;
but, in view of the nature of its, disclosures,
it will afford a new illustration of the risks
which every publio man encounters when he
ventures to invite a New York or New England
journalist or writer to partake of his domes
tic hospitalities. Bigelow has oocupied high
official as well as high editorial positions, and
he ought to know how far the boundaries of
private life can properly be invaded by pro
fessional writers, more especially when such
invasions involve a breach of official confl
'dence. The Arabs have a way of respecting
the life and property of any stranger guest
who has eaten salt with them in their tents,
but Mr. Bigelow, late American Minister at
Paris, appears to be incapable
of comprehending that a guest can be
nnder any obligations to refrain from telling
the world all that he sees or hears at a private
breakfast-table, to which he was invited under
the impression that he possessed some of the
instincts of a gentleman. Like N. P. Willis
and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Bigelow regards
details of private life which he ascertained in
a confidential or semi-confidential way as lite
rary property, to be freely disposed of to the
highest bidder. He does not seem to understand
that there is any impropriety in laying bare
the seoret motives and wishes of his host, and
the peculiarities of his habits and demeanor,
or that he is under any greater restrictions
than a local reporter, interviewer, or Jenkins.
European writers of acknowledged reputa
tion who wished to discuss with equal
freedom their contemporaries (and espe
cially those writers who had gained their in
formation while they occupied official posi
tions), have usually provided by will that
6uch comments should appear as posthu
mous publications at some remote period
after the death of the writer, and the death
of those whose secrets or infirmities were dis
closed. The feeling that this is the proper
course is so strong in Europe, that strong ob
jections have been made to the introduction
in fiction, under fictitious names, of suffi
ciently accurate descriptions of living men
and women to enable their portraits to be re
cognized in private circles. Bat no such
feeling restrains Bigelow; and in view of win it
he tells of the hopes and habits of
Dumas, there is no reason why
he should not disclose all the
family secrets of any Parisian who was
unfortunate enough to make his acquaint
ance while he was acting as American Minis
ter. We believe, however, that in spite of
such notable exceptions as Willis, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, and Bigelow, there are plenty
of good American writers gifted with a sense
of the proprieties of life and of the neoestuty
of avoiding some of the innumerable topics
Whkm Ruaaf announced her determination
to be no longer bound by the treaty of 18.VJ,
which excluded her navy from the Black Set,
there was a furious burst of rage and indigna
tion in England; and, to judge from all the ex
ternal eigns another great war was imminent.
Russia, however, knew that her opportunity
had arrived, and was determined to have her
own way by fair means or by force. The
British lion was soothed by means of ptciflo
diplomatic notes, and the upshot of the
whole affair was that a conference was held
and Russia obtained all she askod for. A great
war was avoided, to the intense gratification
of all Englishmen who knew how unprepared
they were to go into a contest, and to the in
tense disgust of those who are obliged to
witness the downfall of British
power and influence in Europe without being
able to do anything to prevent it. Consider
ing all the circumstances of the case, it is
painful to find a man of the influence of Sir
Charles Dilke getting up in the House ef
Commons and denouncing the action of Bus
sia, and blaming Earl Granville for consent
ing to reopen the Blaok Sea question in the
London Conference. Denunciation of Bussia
will not help matters a bit, but will make
Gorttchakoff smile, as General Butler must
have uniled at Disraeli's remarks about the
discourteous treatment of England by the
Ameiioan House of Bepresentatives
in general and B. F. Butler
in particular. The British Foreign
MinisUr did the best he oould to settle the
Black Sea question in a manner not abso
lutely disgraceful to the Government and
nation he represented, and having done his
part, he deserves credit rather than oensure.
All the blatant orators of the House of Com
mons together could have done nothing to
a'ter the results of the conference, but they
might easily have complicated matters, and
made the British position much worse than
it really was. Sir Charres Dilke said, accord
ing to the cable despatch, that the result of
the conference was inevitable, owing to collu
sion between Bussia and Prussia. This is
very probable; but so long as the English
Government could not help itself, it would
seem to be the part of wisdom for English
orators to endeavor to conceal their mortifi
cation over an event that they were unable to
obviate.

with the searching winds which are now so common,
are causing severe Colds to prevail everywhere, and
laying the foundations for man; cases of Inflamma
tion of the Lungs, Pleurisy, Asthma, and other Lang
Disorders. Prudent people should now take
especial precautions to avoid unnecessary exposure,
and If unfortunate enough to contract Colds, would
do well to resort at once to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant,
a safe and reliable remedy, which will not only
promptly cure Coughs and Colds, but will relieve

organs, and remove all dangerous symptoms. Sold
