Tin Indian War.
Another fight has taken place between
our troops and the Modocs. There ap
pears to have been a perfect surprise to
the offiern in command and they led the
men Into a trap where 49 out of C9 making
the attack w re either killed or wounded
There is a probability that there will be a
general Indian war, as many of the tribes
are getting troublesome
General Garfield has put this ' poser'
to tlio Republican Convention of Wan-en
ouuty, Ohio, which by a resolution, called
on him to resign, for bis vote on the Salary
grab. Ho asks thein : " If the delegates
boliove the retroactive salary clause is so
infamous that I ought to resign for voting
for the Appropriation bill to which it was
attached, will thoy follow out their logic
and insist that the President ought to re
sign for signing it ? My vote did not make
it a law. His signature did."
It was with much pleasure that ' we no
ticed when last in Philadelphia, that the
increase of Messrs. Collins & McLeester,
business had compelled them to add largely
to their facilities, for casting type.
We know of no firm who is belter enti
tled to success, as they are not only prompt
and obliging in their dealings, but they
furnish their customers with a quality of
type wh ich is sure to give satisfaction.
We recommend those who have not already
dealt with them, to visit 705 Jayne .street
and give Messrs. Collins & McLeester
trial.
SEFOEM.
It is well known to very intelligent voter,
that there is something wrong in the man
ner in which candidates are nominated and
elected to oflico, by the political parties of
the day.
This knowledge has induced many to
throw aside party proclivities and make an
effort to bring about a reformation of the
body politic. The whole catalogue of cor
ruption in whatever shape, is to be discard
ed, and give those persons elected, to oflico
to understand that they are merely the
tertants or agent of the people and nothing
more. But in order to accomplish this re
sult it is necessary to commence at the
right place and in the right way. If the
source of a stream is muddy it cannot be
expected to send forth clear water : so if
voters allow themselves to be bought and
sold at the polls for money or any other
valuable consideration, they have no right
to complain of the bad conduct of those
elected to office by dishonest means. If
man must buy his nomination and election,
as a general rule, he expects to receive bis
salary and make bis election expenses
besides. If this reformation be accom
plished however, the old standard will be
revived. Is he honest, is be capable? Now
it is, "has ho money, is bo available?"
The timo was when the terms politician
and statesman meant the same ; but now
the former signifies a successful wire puller,
one who will resort to any means, honest
or dislioncbt, to obtuiu bis election, and
afterwards reimburse biinsolf and friends
out of the publio treasury. The latter
torm is so seldom seen in the publio prints
and so seldom applied to men in office at
present, Unit it has almost become obsolete
Why is it, that it is almost impogsiblo to
obtain a verdict against some of the most
notorious political scoundrels in tlifa United
States? simply because it is almost impos
sible to select a jury without finding out
afterwards, that, some of them were
tarred with tho same stick, though prob
ably in a less degree The question
naturally arises, how can those things be
remedied ? We answer educate the masses
of the people up to a higher standard of
intelligence and morality. We mean that
'morality taught in the Bible, so that men
will do right because it it right.
t3T Fears of another riot at Platten
burgh, N. J., are entertained. A Jargi
number of Swedes and Italians have been
, put to work upon the railroad who have
incurred the animosity of the workmen
formerly employed. Murmurings were
beard on both sides, and both parties are
said to be beuvily armed.
llll I II L II HL' ' "T
". SCHOOL BOOKS.-' - '
Every person who has children to send
to school is preparod to certify that the
frequent changes lu school books is becom
ing an intolerable nuisance. : Persons who
can not afford the expense, are often re
quired to purchase a series of books for
their children, while the ones they are us
ing are searoely soiled, just to satisfy the
peculiar notions of some one in authority,
or to help some one make a little commis
sion. In reference to this subjoct the
Philadelphia evening tllar makes the fol
lowing sensible remarks :
It is now charged that the merit of a
school book has nothing to do with its in
troduction. New books of this character
are forced upon the public precisely as is a
great amount of special and monopolizing
legislation by the aid of the almighty dol
lar. Those familiar with the tactics of
large school book publishing bouses were
long since aware of this discreditable fact.
It is said there have been thousands and
tens of thousands of standard school books
thrown aside in this city in order to make
way for newer ones published by houses
who understand the secret of manipulating
educational boards.
Outraged and Murdered. -Pittsburg,

zie Ness was brutally outraged and mur
dered yesterday afternoon in a grove near

daughter of Mrs. Christian Kline, residing
near Galtsburg, and said to have a father
living in Ohio. The prisoners will have a

Indian Justice.
A Desmoines, la., dispatch says an Indian
of a roving tribe of Musquako, and which
infested this state a few weeks ago, mur
dered one of bis tribe. ' The tribe were
then and are now encamped oil Skunk riv
er, near Colfax, in Jasper county. The
murderer was put ou trial and it was deci
ded that he be puuisbed by being starved
to death, and the sentence was carried out
to the cruel letter.' The Indian was tied
to a log in the woods aud several Indians
were detailed to carry the sentence into
effect, which took eight days. Other cru
elties familiar only to Indians themselves
were added to the torture of starvtuion.

Safety InCoul Oil.
The Legislature at the recent session
passed an important law regarding the sale
of coal oil. It is important that people
know the law and enforce it. Tho follow
ing extracts show the provisions of the
law :
It forbids the salo of auy product of pe
troleum to be used in lamps for burning,
of a lower fire test than 110 degrees. This
completely shuts out all the patent fluids,
mado from benzine or gasoline, except so
far as they are used in the manufacture of
gas, and burned through pipes like ordi
nary gas. -
It provides that all oil sold for use in
this State shall be inspected by a regularly
appointed inspector, and that every barrel
or pack ago shall be branded as follows:
" State of Pennsylvania, Fire Test, One
Hundred and ten Degrees," with the name
of the inspector. If however, the oil is
better than 110, it shall be so marked.
All barrels which have contained oil,
ruuBt have the inspector's brand removed.
before they are sold or refilled.
Any oil found in the bands of a retail
dealer, which bas been fraudulently brand
ed, or bas been adulterated, or not coming
up to the test of 110, is liable to seizure.
Any violation of this law is followed by a
fine of not less than two hundred and fifty
dollars, or impolsonment not less than one
year, or both. And any person sustaining
damage to property or person by reason of
the use of oil not up to the legal test, can
collect damage of tho party who sold the
oil.
It will be seen that the provisions of this
Act are very strict and its penalties very
severe. It is to be hoped that every dealer
will use bis best endeavor to have the law
fully enforced.
