CARL NFI1UKZ ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.
The report of the Secretary of the
Interior embraces an extremely inter
esting, candid, and important review
of the Indian affairs of the country.
It is not too much to say that Mr.
Schurz istthe first Secretary of the Inte
rior who has treated this subject with
entire frankness, says the Record Un
ion, and has endeavored to make tiie
people understand it. His statement
amounts to a sweeping condemnation
of the policy and practice of the Gov
ernment for years past. He does not
hesitate to declare th d all, or nearly
all, our Indian wars have been caused
by gross injustice done to the Indians
by the Government or its agents; that
these agents have for the most part
been corrupt and unprincipled men,
who have plundered right and left;
that the Indian service lias long been
honeycombed with corruption; that
nothing" but a radical reform can
amend it; and that Congress ought
either to institute investigations itself,
or give his Department greater power,
in order that it may tie enabled to pun
ish tiie thieves. He states that the
late war witli tiie Nez Perce Indians
was incurred through a direct breach
of faith on the part of the Government,
and lie intimates that tiie conduct of
Chief Joseph through tiie struggle was
more creditable to him than that of
the Government had been to it. He
makes several recommendations re
garding tiie civilization and education
of the Indians, but suggests as a mai
ler of primary importance that a policy
of honesty and good faith should be in
augurated. The anuses which the Sec.
retary so unsparingly reveals and con
demns have long been familiar to the
public. The press has exposed them
and demanded reform for several years.
But until now there has never appeared
a Secretary of tiie Interior who pos
sessed the courage anil the conscien
tiousness to urge open war upon the
thieves, or who did not either ig
nore or gloss over the most notorious
iniquities in this connection.
H enry B ergh C atches I t .—The
other day a New York teamster was
brutally healing a bay mule with a
paint-brush tail, when Henry Bergh,
President A. 8. P. C. A., rushed in
and caught the fellow’s uplifted arm
and cried, “Slay! hold!” Just then
the mule, who had reserved his fire
until some one came in range, looked
back and fired a ninety-four pound
hoof, that struck Mr. Bergh about mid
ships and soured all the milk of human
kindness in his soul quicker than a
thunderclap. “Kill him!” hissed the
great philanthropist between his set
teeth, as he bowed himself over his
elapsed hands and sought the nearest
drug store, in the attitude of a boy who
had tarried long at the green apples,
“kill him! Pound the hair off him!
Fear out his heart with a nail grab,the
long-legged, iron-jawed, thick-headed
son of iniquity! Pull his accursed legs
out by the roots and cut him into fish
bait before you burn him alive! Oh-h-h;
diddledy doggone a billy-be-doggoned
son-of-a-gun of a mule, anyhow.— Bur-
lington Hawkeye.
Nor M uch of a V ictory .—The
New York Express thinks the recent
Republican victory in Massachusetts
was nothing to brag of: “The Ad
ministration prides itself, we are told,
upon the result in Massachusetts. The
old commonwealth used to give a Re
publican majority of 100,000. Even
last year it gave Mr. Hayes 41,000 ma
jority. This year the Republican Con
vention warmly indorsed the Admin
istration and we elect our ticket by
17,000 majority. That is what the
Administration calls a great “victory.”
A few more such “victories” would
surely ruin the Republican party.
When a Republican Administration
gets down on its kneesand thanks God
because it has carried the State of
Massachusetts by a small plurality it
is
well enough to begin to inquire
to be found in Southern Oregon.

T
NO. 52.
I mportant D ecision .—At tin* last
term of the Circuit Court for Union
County Judge McArthur rendered an
opinion of great importance to those
persons engaged in sheep husbandry.
It will be remembered that in 1874
the Legislature passed an act to pre
vent ttie spreading of contagious and
infectious diseases among domestic ani
mals. Under this two persons were
indicted for permitting sheep affected
with the scab to range where they are
likely to come in contact with other
animals not so affected. To the indict
ment a demurrer was interposed, upon
the ground, among others, that the act
was void for uncertainty. The argu
ment urged in support of the demur
rer was that the failure to enumerate
the contagious and infectious diseases
in i the act rendered it void. Tiie court
in i passing upon the question held that
wl hen the legislature has gone as far in
de scribing the offense as the character
of the evil will permit, the act cannot
be regarded as void for uncertainty,
and that it was not necessary thateith-
er the technical or the popular names
of the diseases which afflict domestic
an imals should lie set forth in the act.
U pun this point it was further held
that the diseases must be named or de-
sc rihed in the indictment.
The Mountaineer says this opinion
■ts al rest the question of tiie sutfi
ency of the law referred to, and it is
> be hoped its provisions will be rigid-
enforced in all proper cases.
P ronunciation . — Speaking about
spelling reforms reminds us that a ref
ormation in pronunciation is impera
tively needed. 'Die number of public
speakers who know how to pronounce
their own language is very small. The
pulpit every week slaughters its moth
er-tongue by its pronunciation. It is
true, in a literary as well as a religious
seihe, that he who offends not in word,
the same is a perfect man. We con
vert diphthongs into vowels by sub
stituting bile for boil, and rile for roil,
we elip our words in such pronuncia
tions as lat’n for lutin; the vowel u is
abolished altogether, and for it we in
voke the double o in such words as in-
stitootion, latitood, Toosday, and the
same double o is also compelled to do
I
service for ew in such words as noo,
doo, etc; we convert i into an indistin
guishable and indefinable vowel in
such words as quanterty for quantity,
ability for ability; and the r, of which
die Frenchmen make so much use, is
rarely or never heard with us, except
at the beginning of a word; we stop
our bottles with cawks and eat our din I
ner with fawks; while certain conso
nants dropout of line as in gover’ment
and iu Feb’uary.
T he P ain of D eciding .—The
great labor of life, that which tends
more to exhaust men than anything
else, is deciding. There are people
who will suffer any other pain readily,
but shrink from the pain of coming to
a decision. Now this is supposed to
lie wholly an evil, and disadvantag
eous for the world; but, like most oth
er tendencies of the human mind, it is
a very beneficent arrangement. There
would be no stability in the world if
the making of decisions were not a
very difficult thing. What was decided
yesterday would be upset to-day; aud
there would tie no long and fair expe
rience of anything. Whereas, in the
present state of auinau affairs, even if
a great evil exists, and many people
have recognized the evil, it requires
an immense amount of decision and
decisiveness before the evil can be up
rooted. This brings into play many
high qualities of human nature, such
as long suffering, patience with oppo
nents, and the exhausting of reasoning
powers brought to hear upon the evil
which is sought to be destroyed.
A ppearances are D eceiving .—
She was over in South Salem and went
tripping along just as happy as a coun
try school inarm, and when just this
side of the brick store she stopped,
stooped and made a grab for the tail of
tier dress; now somebody in that neigh
borhood owns a pet William goat, that
is some on the butt, and just at that mo
ment he came around the corner of
the building, and seeing the lady grab
bing for her dress, he thought she was
bantering him for a fight and was too
quick for her, and she landed on her
left ear and shoulder up against the
fence. Goats will sometimes make
mistakes when chances are fas orable.—

R eai . ly D ead .—The circus-going
people of Jacksonville and vicinity re
member the Conrad brothers whose
comical performances—one simulating
death and the other moving him about,
contributed to the amusement of the
audience. The London Era contains
the following account of the death of
the elder Conrad: “One evening the
elder Conrad fell to the ground after a
pretended blow, and was turned and
returned, as usual. Ilia arms and legs
were jerked, he was struck and kicked
and dragged, but preserved a steady
impassibility. Suddenly an expression
of distress could be noticed through
tho grotesquely painted liniments of
his brother, who hastily dropped on
his knees and placed his hand upon
the heart of the inanimate clown, ex
claiming, “My poor brother is dead!”
At this the audience only laughed,
“Gentlemen,” said the distressed man,
with tremor in his voice, “I assure you
he is really dead.” Then, taking him
tenderly in his arms, he bore him from
the arena. The crowd appeared struck
with the natural manner in which the
bereft clown expressed grief, aud ap
plauded him vigorou-ly as he depart
ed. There were loud encores for both,
but neither presented himself. Death
had been more thoroughly simulated
than ever before.
I nteresting F acts A bout L ondon .
—London, England, covers an area of
78,080 acres or 122 square miles.
When the census was taken last year,
there were 1,500 miles of streets, 2,000
miles of sewers, 417,767 inhabited
houses, and a population of 3,489,428.
The inclusion of fifteen miles around
makes the population 4,286,607. There
ire over 100,000 professional men,
211,000 of the commercial class,505,000
mechanics, 65,000 latxirers, and 35,000
whose occupation is undefined. There
are 1,633,221 males, and 1,866,207 fe
males. Of the women, 892,130 are
married, and 226,000 are domestic
servants. There are 15,000 tailoresses,
58,000 milliners and dressmakeas, 27,-
000 seamstresses and shirt-makers, and
44,000 laundresses. 29,000 are return
ed as gentlewomen. The number of
children reported as attending school is
314,000. London, though much larg
er in population than New York, is not
as densely packed as the latter. New
York, in 1870, with a population of
942,592, had only 95,044 dwelling-
houses, and the average number of
persons to a dwelling was 14.72. In
London the average last year was 8.33,
and this was smaller than the av
erage, according to the census of 1870,
in either Brooklyn, Boston, Cincinnati
or Jersey City.

W ives .—Jennie June, in one of her
gossipy letters, undertakes to explain
why it is that so many young women
marry elderly men. She looks away
from money—which has generally
been brought into a consideration of
such alliances—for the principal reason.
The young man of to-day, according to
this authority, is not the desirable
young man of fifty years ago; he is not
so thoughtful, sober, pains-taking aud
couscientious; he lives at a club, has no
love of home life, nor desire to build
up character or reputation as a man
and citizen; his ideas of life are bound
ed by the theatre and the doings of
his own little set; and in too many cases
his ambition is to win as a racer and
be on intimate terms with the ballet.
Naturally,mothers shrink from entrust
ing their daughters to such youths as
these, even if they have the opportuni
ty, and are better pleased to bestow
them on older men—men who have
sown their wild oats; who know bMlF

L argest L andholder . —The fol
lowing is from the,Boston Herald/
Probably the largest landholder in
America is ex-Gov. Coburn of Maine.
Incredible as it may seem, he is the
owner of not less thun 693,000 acres,
divided up as follows: Maine, 450,000
acres; Canada, 135,000; Wisconsin, 35,-
000; Dakota, 35,000; Michigan, 20,000; “
Minnesota, 13,000. His latest purchase
is that of the tract in Dakota, and was
taken of the Northern Pacific railroad
in lieu of stock, in which road he In-
vested some $500,000. His agent, Mr.
Whipple, had just returned'from the*
West, whither he has been to look af
ter Mr. Coburn’s interests and see
about the last purchase. He reports,
the land in Dakota as among the finest*
held by the governor. He says It is
well adapted to growing cereals, and
fine crops of wheat have been harvest
ed in the vicinity the present season.
The governor is said to be besieged,
with beggars of both high, and low
standing, and scarcely a day passes
hut he receives letters asking aid to
help build seminaries, churches, and.
charitable institutions. He is (reported
as giving away upward of $100,000 per
annum. Mr. Cuburn is probably worth
$6,000,000.
