It lias long been a debated question whether the ludians should lw put un der the administration of the interior or the war department. They are new the care of the former, and the little suc cess which has rewarded its treatment e"f them warrants the movement towards a change which seems te have been inau gurated by the decision of the president that the Apaches, captured by General Crpek, shall be put under the charge of the war department. -General Creek seems te have made himself responsible te these Indians that they should be pre;erly taken care of upon the San Carles reservation te which they were willing te be removed ; and it was upon the faith of his assurance te them, that his success in treating with them was probably due. The frequent violation of the failh pledged by the government te the Indians, has been the great cause of our troubles with them; and it is altogether likely that General Crook Creek demanded, as the reward for his success in subduing the Apaches, that he should be given the power of seeing te it that his stipulations with them are strictly complied with. The interior d'epartment is still permitted te manage the San Curies agency, but the army will man age the Indians. This lias been sup posed te be the function of the agency ; but the San Carles agent will hereafter be seemingly but the government store keeper. There is every reaseu te feel entire con fidence that General Creek is the right man te manage the Indians, and that while his control ever the Apaches is undisturbed their peacefulness will con tinue. The Indian is strongly controlled by personal character ; and General Creek is shown te possess thecharacter istics which fit him te obtain and main tain their allegiance. The Apaches, whom he has subdued, are the most war like of all the Indians, and if peace can be maintained with them it will be detn enslrali-d that Indian outbreaks are always avoidable if they are properly treated. It would lie a very geed thing if General Creek should be put in entire charge of the Indians, as Indian commissioner, with that depart ment made an independent one, equally free irem the control of the war or Indian departments. If General Creek should be given the entire supervision of the Indians, with power te select agents of most suitable character for the deli cite and iespensihle fiictiens they are called en te perferin, the Indian problem would be one no longer In every d d partmentef the government the fitness of its head for the place is the guarantee that it will be well administered. The lack of such entire fitness in the head of the Indian department is especially seri eus and damaging, because the Indiiun are new our only fees. But for them the aimy would have no work te de. Near ly the whole of the army is new employ ed in protecting the territories from the possible outbreaks of the Indians. The only active service the soldiers see is in Indian campaigns. It may be that such campaigns are useful in giving em ployment te an army that the country thinks it has te keep up, for cases of emergency, and which would ret in idleness if the turbulent Indians ueie net at hand te keep it stirred up. It. may be, tee, that it is with this view that the government agents give the ludians se much cause for le hellion, but it is mere probable that greed for the Indians' lands and for the profit that is found in cheat, iug them prompt the frauds and aggies sien that constantly keep the Indians in a hostile state of mind, and that are se discreditable te the nation. It seems impossible te step them. The reserva liem that are solemnly pledged te them are reservations only se long as the while jnan does net cc-vet them. Then they go. First the Indian is cajoled and bribed into disposing of them ; and if that does net de he is aggravated into lighting for them, and then kicked uiit Only new the surrender of a reservation in Washington territory by Chief Moses is announced Moses isa tricky Indian, who is net the chief of a tribe and who has no authority from the Indians te deal with the government for them. He is a shrewd and wily fellow whom the government has picked up U3a suit able tool and whom it recognizes as a chief. He has made a deal with it which he thinks is sufficiently seductive te the Indians te secure their acquiescence in it. Each one gets a wagon and set of farming implements, and in censidera tien therefer is te get off the laud he possesses, which is found te be of mineral wealth, aud get en te another reser vatien bare of minerals and tee cold and mountainous for agricul ture; and which, therefore, the white man has no present use for. Let us put General Creek in charge of the Indians, in the warranted faith that he understands hew te treat them aud will refuse te be treacherous with them Then in a few years wc will have as little need for an army as we seem te have for a navy, and we can turn our West Point graduates out te graze in private pastures, with our blessing and a year's salary, as we are new turning off our Annapolis cadets when they gradu ate from the academy , and, by the way, what an idea that is, te educate a young man in every congressional district te be a naval officer when we don't want any naval officers ! Is it net possible that there can be something about which doctors will agree ? Every day a contrary fellow, of reputation enough te make his words of consideration, turns up with the denial of an ancient canon of belief. The latest is by a Londen medical journal of high repute, which declares that dark clothing is cooler than light. The contrary has been universally held and acted en. It has never before been disputed, we are sure. White hats and white garments are the approved wear for het weather, when coolness is the object; the theory losing ujak wmi """ ""..

But Mr. Micawber wa3 often deserted, notwithstanding. The American rifle team, who are new in England, are receiving the me3t defer ential treatment. The coming match at Wimbledon is expected te be the most successful in many years. The Americans need te be successful this year, as during last year they were left badly by the Eng lish shooters. The eloquent obituary editorials which have been given te the country through the columns of the leading newspapers en " The Last of the Bourbons," " Henri V," " The Rival of the Third Republic " and ether such grandiloquent headings, were rather premature. This morning's dispatches speak very favorably of Count DeChamberd's recovery. "The current history of the, govern gevern govern ment demonstrates, beyond question, that even tbe most sweeping retrenchments that have ever been made in our expenditures have net embarrassed the public service for an hour ; and, furthermore, that in a government like ours there is no safe grcuud between severe economy and prodigal expenditure ; that the adminis tration will either be frugal and honest or lavish and corrupt." W. 8. Ifelman, in A". A. Review. The present year, of which little meie than half is past, has been notable for the number of its fatal accidents by floeJ, by fire, by panic, by landslides, by ex plosive?, by panic, by snewshdes, by fterms at sea and hterms en shore dire happenings of every descriprien some iu our midst and some in every part of the world.

M. de Cassagnac says that in the event of the death of fount DaChamberd, Ptiuce Jereme will ivsue another manifesto, aud plainly inti mates that the priuce may count en his support if the former comes ever te Cas sagnac's "group of the imperialist paity." There is undoubtedly some life left iu the enemirs of the third republic and they may de il harm. It is net, however, unreason able te believe that the French people of te day have some mere stability than in the dark days of the revolutions and are less inclined te imperialistic ideas.

Will the Democracy Commit Suicide ? N. V. Sun. The success of the Democratic candi dates at the next presidential election is well nigh a foregone conclusion. It can be prevented by no skill in tactics en the part of the Republicans, and by no false aud irrelevant issue foisted into the can vass at the critical moment, as the tariff questien was made te de duty in 1880. It may be prevented, however, by some huge blunder of the Democratic party itself, and net etherwise. It is new nearly ten years since the first great tidal wave swept away a Republican majority in the nouse of Representatives, and it becomes plain that nothing but the most egregious Democratic felly could sacrifice the victory which the people were manifestly disposed te give te that party in 187G. The initial and the turning point of that battle was the organization of the Heuse of Representatives. A failure there would have been fatal. But Mr. Kerr organized the Heuse wisely and with a view single te honest government and economical expenditure As chairman of the committee en appro priations, Mr. Randall reversed the whele policy of Republican legislation. He drew the purse strings of the nation close; he let out no dollar which was net absol utely necessary te the public service. This policy was founded upeu tne funda mental principles of Democracy. It was the Joffersonian system in full operation, and it was all thore is of it. It cut up the lobby by the roots, for it allowed no plunder upon which a lobby could live. It smothered scandal, for it allowed no job out of which scaudal could arise. It step ped class legislation, for it denied subsidies te the few out of the proeoeds of common taxation, aud went upon the theory that the money rained by levy upon the whole people must be ex pended for the benefit of the whole people. During the entire period of Mr. Randall's speakership this was the attitude of the Democratic Heuse ; and it is net tee much te say that, notwithstanding Mr. Tildeu's great reform work in the state of New Yerk, his election te the presidency in 187G would net have been practicable without the support afforded by this re markable record of the party iu Congress under the scrupulous and prudent leader ship of Mr. Randall. The situation is again very much the same. The Republicans were beaten last fall at every peiut ; a Democrat is again governor of Massachusetts ; the Heuse is again largely Democratic. Again every one sees that a national Democratic vic tory is impending in 1884, as it was in 1876. It can be thrown away in the Heuse, or it can be placed beyond a peradventure. Seme people are vexiug their righteous souls about the plans of Mr. Randall or his friends bayend the speakership. Mr. Randall may or he may net succeed in making his eletien te thu chair the step ping stone te a higher offiee ; but one thing is almost certain ; his election, or the election of some one very like him, is the stone upon which the Democratic candi date will mount te the presidency, if he gets there as all.

Frem the multitude of conflicting re ports constantly being received at Denver, Cel., concerning the Grand county tragedy it is difficult te get at the real facts. The report, however; that a body of twenty armed men had left Georgetown for the avowed purpese of avenging the death of the victims is entirely without foundation. Texas Charley, who left the Het Sulphur Springs with Fred Dean for Grand Lake en Wednesday, and returned Thursday, tells the following story of the fight, which is deemed authentic : Barney Day, E. P. Webber and D. J. Dean left Mrs. Yeung's bearding house for town, aud when about twenty-five paces from the house and passing a place noted for its pines and rocks, Webber walking thirty steps behind Dean and Day, four masked men jumped out from behind the rocks and pines and shot Webber in the back, just above the hips. The ball passed through the body. Webber cried out, "I am shot," and ran towards Day and Dean and fell before them. The leader of the masked party, a man named Mills, then sprang 'upon Dean, knocking him down and pounding him ever the head with a guu. Day then drew a revolver and shot Mills behind the ear, powder from his pistol burning his hair. Mills fell en top of Dean. As soeu as Day shot the man he ran back towards Mrs. Yeung's ice heuse. Some one of the masked men came up behind Day, when the latter shoe at, and ic is believed, wounded him At that moment a shot from behind struck Day, the ball passing through his heart. He ran 15 steps and fell dead in the path. Webber died about midnight. Webber's and Day's bodies were taken te Webber's ranch, from which place Day's body was conveyed te the springs where it will be buried. Mills will be buried at Graud Lake. Deau is at Grand Lake alive, at last acceuuts. C. Martin aud William Redmeu, supposed te be of the attacking party, have thus far eluded arrest. The latter is, beyend doubt, dangerously wounded. Sheriff Razor, of Graud ceunty.is at Grand Lake, and important arrests are loekod for. While the whole country is intensely ex cited no violence is anticipated. A NICE LITTI.K KUW. A NdVAl Ceuiuinuuer 1'laced Duller Arrest Keinarkable Sveue. There is quite a breeze in naval circles at Norfolk, Va., caused by the arrest of Commander J. F. McGIousey, chief of the equipmeut- and recruiting department of the Gespart uavy.yard, Cby Commo Cemmo Comme doro W. K. Maye, the command ant. It appears that previeus te the election of last May Commedoro Maye requested Commander McGlensay te employ two colored men Littleten Owens, a well-known negre Mahenc poli tician of Princess Aune county, aud another negre named Jerdan, as laborers in his department. Commander McGlensey de murred te the request and required a writ ten order from Commedoro Maye bofero he would employ Owen3 and Jerdau. This Commedoro Maye issued and the parties were laken into the yard. After this a request was made en Commander Mc Glensey by the commedoro te surrender the order he had giveu te em ploy Owens and Jerdan. This re quest was refused by Commander McGlensey, as he required the erder as a voucher, because his bureau in Wash ingteu had ordered no further cxp2ndr t ure 8 for that mouth. Commedoro .Maye went in person te Commander McGlensey's office and demanded the original order, which was firmly refused, whercuuen the commodore ordered Cemmauder McGlen sey te retire te his quatters and consider himself under anest. Here a remarkable sceue took place. After receiving the order of arrest Cem mander McGlensey went te his desk and commenced taking out seme papers. Commedore Maye ordered him te resist. Commedoro McGlensey replied that the papers were his private preperty, which he had a right te retain possession of Tiie commedoro then ordered a marine te seize Commander Mc Glensey,when the latter warned the marine net te touch hiiu. The commandant of marines' aud officer of the day wero sent for, ar.d when the latter officer arrived and was informed by Commander McGlenssy that the papers he had taken from his desk were his private papers the officer did net interfere. Commander McGlensey is new confined te his quarters. The Angean 3tawes Again Ulcncd cut ' Invisible" In 1'liilnilelplila Ticss. Eighteen hundred years age the Master cleaned the money-changers out of the teraple. Eightceu hundred years later the governor of Pennsylvania cleaned out the Augean stables en the "Hill." The hour hand en the chick of genuine political rclerm made a full round en Thursday. The saving of ever $42,00.0 of the poeplo's mone.v was a righteous act ou the part of the governor. That amount was the aggre gate of claims for the payment erseiviccs for which there is no law whatover claims for extra salaries, for contingencies, for deficiencies, etc' What scandal that word "contingencies "-has brought upeu the politics of this country national and state ! Hew many middle men and dead beats it has kept hanging en te the party in power ! Hew many officers it has en riched ! Hew much corruption it has festered ! Why are there any deficiencies? He who in a fiduciary capacity expends mero than his trust funds for his trust, is net a safe trustee. That is the way business men leek at it. Why net these in political authority ? Heretofore general appropriation bills have hceu the means of making tee many public of ficers whele at the expense of the people. But that day is past. Hereafter lesisla lesisla tive officers will receive only what the law gives them ; " extras " will be unknown ; old, and possibly, trumped-up bills, el" whatever kind, will never see legislative light. A single sentence is sufficient as a sample brick from the veto wall ; "fJigh teen hundred dollars is a large sum te give the librarian for placing in or carrying te the public bindery seventy-five books."
