Tierce is in Charge of the Circu- ntion of THE DAILY BEE. THE Albany mill may grind fine but it certainly grinds exceedingly slowly. KINO KALAKUA is v illing to sell his kingdom for n liorso or almost any thing else of trilling value. THE Now York Tribune thinks that there ia ainilo business for n through trunk line of railway from the Mis souri river to Now York. OAHLOH has been expelled from France. It is politely suggested to Don that there is n great scarcity of farm hands in the United States. Hit. GLADSTONE has appointed the commissioners under the Lund Bill. The only objectionable iinmo to the Irish is that of Mr. John E. Vornon. MOIIMON missionaries have establish ed a church of the Latter Day Saints in Philadelphia. This is enough to inako the ghost of William 1'onii turn in his grave. A ooiiHKsroNDKNT from Uorlin , accounting for the great increase in German emigration , says that 80 per cent , of the immigrants are in search of bread and butter. ACCOUDINO to ox-Senator IIowo , who has recently returned from the international monetary conference in Paris , Europe is by no means wedded to a single standard ANOTIIKU chance for the Omaha po litical Micawbcr. The city council is about to establish a dog pound. Who wants the honorable and lucrative of fice of city pound keeper ? WE all know that Omaha is ' 'admir ably adapted for sowcrago. " Wo hao been told it a hundred times , if once. What wo need , and must have , is less theory and more aoworago. Ai/niourm the heat has been exces sive in Omaha the number of Bun- strokes IIOH been very small when compared with other cities ia proportion tion to population. Cincinnati , from July 10 to July 1C , inclusive , reports 201 deaths from Burmtroko and oighty- BX in a single day. EPIDEMIC lockjaw seems to have been the result of thu celebration of the Fourth of July. In Baltimore alone , thirteen boyn between the ages of 13 and 1(1 years , have died from lockjaw , resulting from wounds ro- ceoivod from toy pistols. And it wasn't a very lively Fourth of July , cither. IT is reported that Mr. Vandor- bill will devote to bimcvolont objects all of Maud S.'H earnings on the turf this season. If Mr. Vanderbilt would devote some of his ill-gotten wealth to refunding a portion of the money stolen from stockholders and swindled producers along his railways it would bo much moiu 1o the point , THE death of Dean Stanley removes from the Church of England a scholar ' of more than ordinary learning and n churchman of moro than ordinary breadth -of character. In his own words , ho always "strove to make Westminster Abbey n great center of religious and national life" and this lie did without regard to thu narrow limi tations of crood. TUB robbery of the llock Island train near Winston , Mo. , by a gang of seven desperadoes , and the cow ardly murder of the conductor and an inoifensivo passenger , is one of the most dastardly und deplorable deeds in the criminal annuls of the country. There seems little reason to doubt that the crime was concocted and put into execution by the James gang , which for years have eluded detection and defied purauiMhroughthofriondly offices of their Missouri neighbors. The section of country in which the deed was committed is known to bo infested with mch ruffians and it is a disgrace to Missouri that they liavo not long since boon hunted Irom their hiding plucoa and brought to justice , ! f It is a startling commentary on lli lawlessness of a state which protont to civilization when sovcn men en board a train in a thickly Bottled poi lion of the country and hold poi session of every car while tw men are being murdered an the passengers' pockets rifled Such n deed would bo impossib ! father cast , and the easy method t its'accomplishmcnt is a crying du grace to Missouri and a stigma upo its citizens. The Winston robbery brings up th question whether armed guards o : the trains traversing through Mis souri would not provo an elTectun preventive of such crimes. If it won well understood that the cry n "hands np ! " would bo promptly me by a volley of bullets nt the head o the wonld-bo Dick Turpin , th number of attempted train rob buries would bo likely to bcconn greatly lessoned. Every cflbrt shouh now bo made to capture the perpetrators tors ol the desperate deed , and whoi once captured the nearest tolcgrapl polo should bo at once called into re rpuisition to save the law's delays. THE election of Warner Miller t < the Now York Bonatorship and tin probable election of Mr. Lapham ai the successor of Ex-Senator Conklin ; causes considerable speculation upoi the effect which the choice of thesi gentlemen , who are members-elect o the next house , will have upon the or ganization of that body and the election tion of a speaker. After the election ! of last fall the membership was ostl mated as follows : Total number ol representatives , 203 ; republicans , 147 ; Jemocrats , 130 , grecnbackors , Oj independents - dependents , 1. The independent is J. Hyatt Smith , ot Brooklyn , who will vote for the republican candidate foi ipeaker. Mr. Fry was elected sena- ; or to succeed Mr. Blaine , and the , -acancy has not been filled. There ire or will bo four vacancies in New Fork , three of which were filled by republicans , viz. : Messrs. Morton , Miller and Lapham. No election haa lecn ordered in the Ninth listrict , where the vacancy was 5auscd by the death of Fernando SVood. If , as is assorted , the successors , o Messrs. Miller and Lapham cannot > o olcctcd and qualify in time to take .heir seats December 1 , the green- > ackers will hold thobalancoof power. Clio democrats profess great confi- lonco in their ability to elect a sue- lessor to Mr. Morton , and the loss of mo vote would bo seriously felt. The Icmocrats , howcvoj , are believed tote to reckoning without their host in lacing any reliance upon Greenback otcs. It is hardly possible for the reonbackera to unite upon any candi- ate of their own for speaker , and the sur Missouri greonbaekors Hazel- ino , Rico , Ford and Burrows have nnounccd their intention of voting rith the republicans. TUB railway passenger war among ho eastern trunk lines is assuming ivoly proportions , and tickets from ow York to Chicago are selling at ess than half the usual prices. Cnowing dealers in railway stocks do- laro that the movement comes from ho Vanderbilt camp in order to boar" the stocks of certain trunk ines which ho is anxious to got hold if. At the same time , Mr. "Vandor- ilt , fearing the competition which ho Pennsylvania Central mtylit force ipon him , denies vigorously that 10 is in any way responsible or the beginning of the Avar. Ho ppreciates the fact that in case of ipon cutting of rates it would bo ut- erly impossible for the Now York Jontral to compote cither in speed or xponso with the Pennsylvania road finch owns its own lines from Now fork to Chicago. There is not , after 11 as much money lost by those outs s people generally imagine. It costs ino-tonths of a cent per mile to trans- ort passengers on eastern roads so liat oven at the present ralo9 , , there i a profit. WENDELL PHILLIPS , radical in all liings , has boon severely censured by ovoral Now England papers for up- tolding nihilism. Some papers oven vent so far as to impute to him uym- lalhy with the attempted assassina- ion of President Garfield , And now ho Boston Traveller comes to the do- onso of Wendell Phillips in the follow- tif ? pointed aitiohv "Wendell Phillips has never > reachud assassination in America , md wo venture to believe ho never vill. And it is grossly unjust to our > wn country , extremely unfair to the lihihsts , and far to generous to Guit- iau , to draw any analogy between the [ hooting of President Garfield and ho killing of Czar Alexander. \ \ hen wo turn Alaska into a Siberia , md send our young men by the thou. land into exile for exercising the ight of free discussion ; when wo strip roung girls and Hog them to death in ho public squares of New York and Joston ; when wo suppress newspapers , ionfiscato printing presses , shut up he public halls , and put u ball and : hain on ovorp man's tongue , it will > o time enough to toll us that there is ho same excuse for assassination hero H in Russia. " TUB city waterworks company have ncountered many serious obstacles in he construction of their works. An aily and severe winter prevented the ayiug of water pipes and the floods of ho spring submerged the plateau upon which their engine homo an settling reservoirs were located. Aa consequence the company wore unabl to fulfill their promise to supply Oma ha with water for fire hydrants by th first of July. An extension to No vombcr first is asked tV by the company , which will doubtles bo granted , but the council vcr properly deferred action on this mat tcr until the city attorney can drawn a legal ordinance that will protect th interests of the city while giantin tho.prayor of the company. Unless some unforeseen acciden happens , there is no doubt now tha the works will bo in full operatio much earlier than the first of Novem her. STAU gazers and comet hunters nr having a high old time this year. An other comet has put in an appearance This one is not visible to vulgar eyes like our long tailed visitor that is sup posed to have been split in the mid die. Only high toned aristocrats arm cd with costly telescopes and oporaglas ea enjoy the privilege of viewing th latest comet. Like all high-flyers tlnsnowcomct i reported to have a rather stately mo tion. This is the fourth comet dis covorcd since May 1 , which show that this is a very good season fo these erratic visitors. The fact tha four have been scon , not to speak o these that have not been seen , ough to bo reassuring to these persons whc still cling to the old superstition tha a comet is a sign , if not a cause , o some impending notable human ca lamity. In the old days some connection might have been im agincd between the recent vis ible comet which is now rapidly fading away and the shooting of the president , but that the sk ; should bo full of comets , so to speak in order to presage or produce the calamity at Washington , dreadful as it was , is putting a greater strain upoi the superstitious theory , than it woult have been able to bear , oven in the days when it had some acceptance. The most that can bo said of this now visitor , is that it will furnish moro business for our astronomers , ant larger ground for comparison in the very interesting study of these lawless vagabonds of the sky. WAIUTEK MILLEU , who was electee by the Now York legislature as Unitec States senator in place of Thomas 0. Platt , is said by Now York politicians , to bo a man of moro than ordinary force of character and political sagac ity. His friends claim that ho has great taste and aptitude for politico management , and has had a remark able career of success in Now York. He made Mr. Sloan speaker , carried the organization of the state sonata against the machine , was most active in making Mr. James postmaster- general , and has been the chief man ager in the movement to place Frank Hiscock in the speaker's chair of the house. While not a brilliant ant showy man , ho possesses solid quali ties which will inako him a usofu. senator and a skillful leader. His loyalty to the republican party has al ways boon unquestioned. THE Posl-Dhpuich remarks that the ruling passion of the American , whether in jail or out , is politics , Ihis fact was illustrated in the Clin ton ( N. Y. ) penitentiary on Thursday last , when a convict named Henry King brained a follow prisoner , Mich- wl Hamilton , in a quarrel over the stalwart and half-breed difficulty at Albany. King is a Conkling man through and through , and although Lho discussion was a heated one ho ap pears to have convinced the other man In the end. Argument is a powerful means of swaying people in a free jovornmont , especially if it is pointed with an axe. If the unconvicted con victs at Albany possessed the force of character and clan of the convicted : onvicts at Clinton , the dead-lock would have ended long ago , AMKUIGAX workingmen and moro especially American mechanics need not bo alarmed by the great influx of Foreign immigrants to America. The Now York commissioner of emigra tion who has made a careful classifica tion of the occupation of immigrants reports very few skilled mechanics liavo reached this country during the present season. Most of thoonormoua immigration this year has been ticket- oil through to Iho far west and to 1'oxas. Most of these poonlo belong to the agricultural class and intend to settle on farms. ACCOHUINO to the Now York Eveniny Post , ex-Senator Hitchcock , jf Nebraska , was not , as has boon 3rronoously reported , a classmate of President Garfield at Williams college , but was graduated one year before iim , in 18D5. The Boston Post says : lmt Senator Hitchcock and Senator [ ngalls , of Kansas , \\ero classmates aid room-mates , and oven in their : ollcgo days their senatorial ambition iad developed , and there was quite a pint of emulation as to which should irst secure the prize. Hitchcock was ilocted senator in 1871 , and Ingalls wo years later , The > Railroad nnd the People , Ssn Francisco Chronicle. There is abundant evidence that th time is close at hand when an ovot whelming popular opinion will rondo it necessary that the just relations o railroads to the public shall bo accurately ratoly defined by appropriate legisln tion. Some of the chief points of dil fcronco between thn pcoplo and th railroad managers are the following : First The pcoplo hold that th charges for transportation hall b "reasonable , " and based mainly upoi the cost of service1 while the railwa. managers insist upon acting on th principle of clmrgni' ' "all the trafli will bear. " Second The railway managers jus tify the practice of charging discrimi nating rates in furtherance of their in tcrests , that is of charging low rate to some shippers and of exacting higl rates from others , where the cost o the service is the same in both cases in order to develop business in ccrtaii favored localities ; whereas the peopl claim that it is dangerous to the riqht of citizens to permit the railroad man agora to discriminate at their plcasur in favor of certain localities and agains others. Third The railroad managers just ify the practice of contributing mono ; as campaign funds , and otherwise t < obtain political influence by whicl they may control elections and obtaii influence with legislative bodies ; whili the people regard this ns a porniciou and demoralizing practice , leading t ( venality and corruption in oflice. Fourth The railroad manager , claim that their business is one so peculiar culiar , so complex , anddiflerinK BO cs sontially from every other kind of bus incss , that outsiders cannot under stand it , that legislators cannot dea with it fairly and wisely , and thai none but railroad officials are compe tent to determine the justice oi charges for transportation , or the ne cessity for discrimination in such charges ; while the pcoplo insist tha railroad companies , being common car riers and exorcising .1 public function , ought to be supervised and rcgulatot in the interest of the public , just aa banks and insurance companies arc supervised and rogulatnd. For several years these questions liavo boon extensively discussed , both in England and the United States. In England a system of regulation by railroad commissioners has been adopted , somewhat similar to thai provided in our constitution , and it ia said to work satisfactorily. In sever- xl of the states of the Union there haa t > eon a good deal of legislation on thia subject , mostly of a tentative charac- ; er. In Massachusetts and Illinois railroad commissions have boon createt with giod results. In Now York and icvoral other states attempts are now seing made in the same direction. When called upon to give their views jeforo legislative committees , the rep resentatives of the railroads liavo not , except in rare instances , undertaken : o deny that discriminations are made. Dn the contrary , they admit that ; hey are made up system and as a justness necessity , offering various moro or less plausible explanations ol such alleged necessity. Only a shorl : imo since the public was amazed by an equally frank avowal made by a jioat California railroad magnate , to ilie effect that the railway power hac jeoii forced to go into politics , and to attempt to influence legislatures aa ; ho only means of protecting itself against dangerous aggression. Noth- ng was wanting to complete the loncsty and truthfulness of this ad- nission , except to include the courts ol ustico among the bodies that the rail- oads had been compelled by the law of self-protection to attempt to in- Juonco. So far as California is concerned we already have all that need bo asked 'or in the way of constitutional pro visions and legislative enactments. Article XII of our Constitutional cov ers the whole ground. Section 17 de clares all railroad and transportation companies to bo common carriers and mbjoct to legislative control. Section 10 prohibits pooling combinations. Section 21 declares : "No discrimina tion in charges of facilities for trans portation shall bo made by any rail road or other transportation company jotweou places or persons , " etc. Section 22 provides for a Hoard of Ilailroad Commissioners with ainplo powers for cor recting every abuse or injustice in railroad management that has boon or nav bo complained of. Atiy ono who vill read that section will be puzzled o suggest any needful power that is ffithholdjfrom the commissioners. If ibusos still exist in this State , if just iomplainta against the railroads for liscriminations between persons and ilacos are still unheeded , it is not the ault of the constitution or the laws. Warm "Word * from the South. [ From the Atlanta ( Ca. ) Constitution. ] Wo know a little girl the daugh- cr of a confederate officer who fought hrough the war who. upon being old last Sunday mornint ; that the president was still alive , quietly relied - ) lied : "I know it. I prayed last light that ho might live/ The child iad prayed with faith , and was certain ler prayer would bo answered. This Sunday morning there is every indi- ation that the president will bo spared o his family and to the country , but o the stricken man to fair faced wife md white-haired mother the south , landing in the shadow of great trou pes of her own , still sends forth her ympathy. ( From the lllchtnoud ( Vn. ) Dcejiatcli. ] Wo all feel as if a personal wrong iad been done to us as if ho wore > ono to our bone and flesh to our flesh hat was basely assaulted in Washing- on. [ From the Jfcw Orleans Democrat. ! Wo feet safe in saying that our peo- do , ono and all , echo the aspiration liat Mr. Garfield may bo brought afoly through the great and terrible > cril which has overtaken him. His ncumbency had been accepted by the outh in all faith and contentment' , ud his rule was looked to with a ! iousiiul warm and pleasant hopes. ( From the Columbia (3. ( 0. ) Register. ) In the present sad case the South uols an unselfish sorrow , and wo have ursolvcs been surprised at the uni- ersality of feeling existing oven among 10 least "reconstructed" of our poo- le. It is possible now for President larfiold to say with full heart and onest , manly emotion , "Lotus have eaco. " And wo will have it peace ith all our borders. The South will moot the North more than half wn toward "this consummation BO dovou ly to bo wished. " [ From ihe Houston ( Tex. ) Post.l The representative quality of tli pflico is transferred to the man , and b it ho is ennobled and endeared to tli popular heart. [ From the Athens ( On. ) Banner. ] The regret of the southern people i as sincere as it is universal , If th president could know the aolicitud among the southern pcoplo about hi condition , as evidenced by their a ! most constant conversation and the ! unceasing inquiries it would sooth him likoan anodyne. It is to bo hoi : od that ho will know it. It will she > him the true feelings of this section and convince him that the South feel as much interest as the North in pcac and good government ; it will slioi him that wo recognize our interest ii the federal head of the pcoplonnd tha wocons.doronrsolves aa greatly afllicte as these of his own party , in his mis fortune. [ From tlio Homo ( Ox ) Courier. ] The country now seems to bo unitei as it never was before , and this sever disaster to the president has drawi the whole people of the countryaroum and in deep sympathy with him , am if happily ho should survive , ho wil hardly have hereafter during his torn a thought , but that his duty is to th pcoplo of the whole country , and with out regard to party. [ From the Charleston ( S. C. ) News mut Courier , Wo hazard nothing in saying tha the restored president will bo the mos popular man in the country , and tin pcoplo caii bo confident that the in tluonco his popularity gives him wil bo used for the general good. If tin president's lifo bo spared there will bi compensation , indeed , for the sorrow ing and peril of the last week. [ From the Sclma ( Ala. ) Times. ] The south had not realized unti Saturday whr.t a satisfactory adminis tration President Garfiold's had beet so far. Until it contemplated a changi from it to Arthur and Conkling , it die not know how much it appreciated tin former. Press Comment- Inter Ocean. "Peace hath her victories no less re nowncd than war , " and it may be added that women have their victories : io less renowned than men. Mrs , jariiuld has had ono such since the : nurderous attack upon her husband. Her lofty and sercno courage has in spired every ono about her , and if the president's lifo is spared noboely can doubt that , next to his own indomit able bravery , no ono cause will con tribute moro to that end than the true womanly fortitude of his wife. Her intelligent devotion has touched the icarts of the American people , anc ] ; ho touch has been so genuine that il reached to the pockets. The sub scription for the benefit ot Mrs. Gar- ield and her children is a tribute such as few women indeed have had 01 deserved. It is in some sort a national recognition of the tact that the lad } of the White House haa shown to the country a sort of woman that if worthy to bo a president's wife. Springfield Republican. Protest against the proposed $250- 000 gift to the Garfield family con tin ues throughout the country , and some newspapers Which welcomed the sub scription as an evidence of popular de votion to the chief officer of the nation ire taking a sober second thought. The Republican is in receipt of rnairy hotter indorsing its presentation of the mprppnoty of such a gift in view oi President Garfield's probable recov ery. The Now York chamber of com- nerco is loft in a ridiculous plight in view of the dispatch sent last week by is secretary to Postmaster-General James announcing that that organiza tion had decided to present Mrs. Gar field with $250,000. Cyrus W. Field ms been telegraphing and writing ap- > eals all over the country for help in naking up the sum which Now Yorkers voro reported ready to tender. iVidows and children are sending their nites for the man who gets a salary of § 50,000 a year , and this whole spectacle of bepging for the president > f the United States is unseemly. Chore is a vast difference between giv- ng for yellow fever sufferers and drawing out hard-earned dollars for an independent and self-respecting amily. If the president recovers ho vill have a difficult and somewhat un gracious duty to perform in refusing his gush money. toston Journal , This whole business of presidential ; ifts , whether as regards the Grant und or the Garfield subscription , we lo not like. It invests the railroad cings and other moneyed magnates vitli a kind of influence which wo can- lot regard with favor. Tlio Going of the Utcs Globe-Democrat. The people of Colorado are growing restive under the delay attending the omoval of the Ute Indians from that State. And no wonder. Already , a argo portion of the summer has been dly frittered away by the commissioners - ors at § 10 a day each , and traveling | ) onsos and the Indians havemean- vhilo amused themselves with fro- [ uont murder , and kept the whole vestern part of the State terrorized. Six or eight weeks from now , winter voathorwill begin to visit that locality , ml then all hope of Indian removal vill have to be abandoned until next 'car. The necessity is a pressing ono. f the Utcs are to go before the snow alls , there is no time to bo wasted ) nd ] certainly there is no serious ibstaclo in the way of carrying out ho plan of the removal ono time as veil as another. It is not Colorado alone that is in- orcstod in this question. The whole ountry , and particularly the whole vest , is moro or less affected by it. "hero are special considerations in this ese which distinguish it from ordi- ary transactions of the kind. The Jtes unfortunately occupy a position rhich makes them a constant menace ot only to public peace and personal afety , but to the prosecution and rowth of a great industry , The lands ! ioy occupy are worthless for agricul- ural purposes , but rich'in mineral idications , and so located as to inako ; essential that a forbidding and hos- lo clement shall not prevail thoro. t is not merely a question of opening icso lands to white settlement ; it is [ so and chiefly a question of protec- ng settlements already made on eighbonng lands. The entire western border of Colorado the moa valuable mineral scope in the world perhaps is beset with daily danger s long as the Utea are just across th line , ready and eager to seize upon th the slightest pretext for massacre. I is not necessary to recall the torribl instances which have made this fact s clear that government can not disrc gard it without justifying crime am bringing reproach upon the nationn good nemo , lied tape is but anotho name for a trail of blood in tha region. There is no room , cither , in thi controversy for the everlasting can about Indians wrongs. The only poin involved is that of executing a con tract ; and the contract is ono which so far as the Utcs are concerned , i open only to the objection of boiiij too liberal. They are to receive othc lands in exchange .for the presen ones , at any rate of one-half of a sec tion to each head of a family and ono fourth of a section to each uninarrici person and each orphan child or olho person under 18 years of ago-all ii fee simple and free for twonty-fivi years from taxation or decree o court ; and' in addition they are to hav < n cash bonus sufficient to produce tin sum of $50,000 annually , to bo dis tributcd to them per capita each yeai forever. .Besides this , the govern incnt | | is to maintain schools nmon them , and to furnish them witl houses , wagons , tools , stock cattle anc saw and grist mills. In short , wo are to place them in a condition superioi to that over attained by the majoritj of white men ; and they , on their part , simply unelertako to step out of the way of civilization , and permit white pcoplo tej develop the resources of the country in safety , nnd under lawa in- vi'ing and encouraging them to " < r < west. " It is a shame that thcso worthless and murderous savages have been suf fered to harass the Colorado bordei so long. Their presence has unques tionably defeated and retarded mining operations to an extent that has touch ed the prosperity of the entire coun- iry. It is safe to say that but for the Indian troubles of the last two years , : ho silver product of Colorado would lave been doubled ; and that would lave been just so many millions added ; o the available wealth of the United States. This is a simply cold-blooded and selfish , though highly important , view of the matter , and leaves out of sight the personal risks and perils , the narrow escapes ami sudden bloody loaths of these bravo fellows who launt the lofty fastnesses and hang nbout the dizzy edges of precipices in search of the hidden treasure , "like hose who gather samphire dreadful .rado. " There is something due to hcso men , some excuse to bo made for their woll-known hatred of In dians. They have studied the Indian problem under circumstances that come directly homo to men , and it has nado thorn radicals ; but who shall say ; hah they do not know what they are talking about ? Is not their judgment nero trustworthy than that of the lown-cast dilettante who never saw an [ ndinu aavo a wooden ono standing in 'ront of a cigar store ? It is true in this , as in everything else , that an ounce of experience is worth a pound of idle and morbid theorizing. The Utcs should go , and they should stand not upon the order of their ; oing , but got at once. The commis- tioners have a soft thing , to bo euro , n their § 10 a day and expenses , and vo can sympathize with their desire to hang on until they exhaust the ap- ) ropnationbut ; the matter is too grave or delay and trifling. Tlio removal can bo effected in thirty days , with a > roper application of energy and good sense. It has been nearly eighteen nonths now sincb the agreement was > ertccted and ratified ; all the prelimi- laries have certainly boon settled by this time , and there is no decent eason why the procession should bo copt waiting a day longer. The mat er is not , we repeat , a merely local mo ; it concerns the whole country. Fho people of Colorado beint ; im- nodiatoly and so vitally interested , are very properly loudest in thuir com- ) laints , but their feeling is shared , hey maybe sure , throughout the west and by all who have a realizing sense of the situation. Wo hope the racket vill bo kept up until thu Utes are tarted on their winding way to some emote and inaccessible quarter , vhoro the tide of white progreos will lover bo likely to reach thorn , and vhoro , if they must scalp and kill and ) illago they will bo obliged to exorcise heir devilish ingenuity upon one another.
