THE DBIFT OF IT.
There is no mistaking the drift of
the two politcal parties of this coun-
tiy upon one thing , and that is a
combined attack upon the union
aud grange elements. In this city
we have the Herald on the Demo
cratic , and the BEE on the .Republi
can side , urging-warfare more or less
directupon any proposltion'to ameli
orate the condition of the industrial
classes. They are moving cautiously
and by direct methods now , but will
soon throw off the mask entirely.
Omaha Union.
This is the first intimation
have that the two political parties
contemplate a combined attack upon
the union and grange elements. "We
are neither prepared nor authorized
to speak for the Herald , or the De
mocracy , but we emphatically denj
the soft impeachment , so far as the
BEE or th Republican'party are
concerned.
The record of the BEE as a fear
less and outspoken opponent of mo
nopolies and rings , and bold advo
cate of popular rights is a sufficient
refutation of the silly charge that it
entertains hostile designs toward
the industrial classes. Xo practica'
proposition to ameliorate the condi
tion of the producing classes has
ever foiled to receive prompt anc
cordial support from the BEE , and
its columns have always been oppt :
to all classes of the community.
Where there is nothing to conceal ,
there is no mask to throw on" If ,
however , 4the Z/HI'OH refers to the
BEE'S persistent and successful op-
pqsjtjon to the political bummers ,
shysters and fjpad-beats who
Jiavc vainly sought fq inypiglp
honest anil industrious workingroeu
aud farmcrslnto an organization thai
was conceived in fraud and hatched
bv rascality , we are ready to con
fess our g jt. } If the Union assumes
that the Ko-op leaders wjjo receive
its slpn } M'Pport are the true repre
sentatives of the industrial classes ,
wp can understand the drift of its
arguments. Jf Johnson , Dudley &
Co. are to be the shining pillars of
fire that are to lead the oppressed
in lustrial classes out of bondage , we
confess there is very little hope foi
fjje real toilers.
If Jhe Lnlon recognizes these
scheming demagogues as the true
champions of Iabor7 the BEEJS will
ing to accord it all the glory that
can be achieved by such a comblna-
Jion. For our part we believe the
Republican pary { not only
able but willing to re
press the wrongs of the industrial
pk-sses , and aflor4 them relisf from
the evils that nqw affiipt them
through State or National legisla
tion. If the Republican farmers
and mechanics will participate ac
tively in the primary elections o
our party , they can send their own
representatives to our ponventions ,
frame our platform and select the
men who are to administer our gov-
prnnient and make our laws.
This is well understood now , and
the real mechanics and farjnuis
Omaha and Douglas county have
given sufficient proof of their intel
ligence by staying away "from the
Ko-op camps and Ivo-op conven
tions.

the votes of farmers and working-
men. Its frail existence is staked
on the success of this corrupt crew ,

ROQUEFORT has written a charac
teristic review of the political situa
tion in France. "We are rid of the
Emperor , " says the sarcastic Com
munist , "but wo have the Empire's
tail. In taking himself off , Bona
parte bequeatlied to us his best ven
geance his system and administra
tion. The Fourth of September
merely changed the Ministers , instead -
stead of making a clean rid
dance of the Ministries. The Revo
lution of ' 89 was enabled to at
tain its full
development by re
moving the subordinates after strik
ing the chiefs , and by overthrowing
the creatures as well as their crea
tors. To imagine that to disim-
perialize France it is enough to .sub
stitute one name for another on a
decree is the height of simplicity.

OUR INDIAN POLICY.
A Statesman Wanted.
( New York llcrld )
No subject that cornea before'Con-
gress has been more elaborately dis
cussed and less efficiently treated
than that of our Indian policy.
Year after year we have exposures
of the inefficiency of the existing
svstem and debates on propositions
of reform ; but hitherto they have
been unproductive of practical re
sults , and the evils are permitted to
continue in spite of the accumula
ting evidence of their enormity
There is a universal recognition of
the corruption of the Indian agen
cies ; of the failure of the praisewor
thy efforts of the Peace Commis
sioners ; of the folly of expecting to
bring a savage race into civilization
by teachings and persuasions of a
handful of excellent men. But we
still keep on in the old rut , appoint
ing agent" , appropriating moneys
and perpetuating the errors
of which wo complain.
"When some such horror as that of
the lava beds occurs , or when the
summer months bring in their regu
lar Indian outbreaks , we momen
tarily awake to the necessity of a
change in our policy. As we read
of the devastation of settlements ,
of the outrage of women and of the
slaughter of men and children , we
feel naturally indignant at the sys
tem which , under the specious guise
of humanity towards the savage ,
withholds or paralyzes the protec
tion that is due to their victims.
But when the necessities of the In
dians drive them from the war path
and compel them to throw aside the
tomahawk and the scalping knife ,
we are too ready to accept the ex
cuscs made for their crimes and to
return to the policy which regards
them as errhjg children.
No douh't the' inefficient treat
ment of the Indian question by Con
gress , Is due In a great measure to
the large Interests Involved in the
Indian Bureau. Patronage , salaries
and perquisites are at stake , to say
nothing of the illegitimate gains that
are said to 1)0 ifttrehed to the Indian
agencies. The evils' are farremoved ,
and th.p conduct of the agents can
not be readily Jnquirei } jnto. If the
borders are' undisturbed during the
session of Congress , jf there are no
raids , murders and outrages while
our legislators are debating , the people
ple are apt to pass over the subject
as one of only remote interest , and
to look upon the result with indiffer
ence. Now and then some startling
story of the corruptions con
nected with our Indian policy at
tracts attention , but it is soon
forgotten , or' is overshadowed by
mutters that affect us nearer home.
The warning words of some intelli
gent and thoughtful soldier may
njake a momentary impression on
the public mini ] , and tjicrp may he ,
a spasmodic demand for reform in
our treatment of the savages ; but
while the politicians remain indif
ferent or are interested in the con-
tinuatjqn of tljp exjsting policy it is
useless to hope for 'change. Jf the
red glare of burning villages could
cast its reflection on the Capitol ; If
the shrieks of women and children
could ring in the ears of our repre
sentatives ; if the recking scalps of
the victims of savage warfare could
be held before 'the eyes of Senators
and Congressmen , wo might expect
efficient legislation on the Indian
question. But these practical evi
dences of the evils of our In
dian pojipy SrP reserved for re
mote regions , am } only UlP PPr-
suasive voice of the Indian agent Is
heard in our legislative halls. So
we travel on from year to year in
the same rut , playing into the hands
of the venal agents , sacrificing the
Jives of our soldiers niulgiti7An&
m the wlutpr , strjvjijg to wjn thorn
to civilization , and all the time lay
ing the ground-work for now out
breaks and horrors as soon as the
grass grows and the buffaloes are in
good condition for killing.
There have been numberless sug
gestions jn regard to the treatment
of the Indian tribes. The best of
them have como from experienced
officers of the army , mon who are
familiar with the character of the
savages awl with the subject o
which they spoak. Tljeso pounsel
lors all concur in the opinion tha
the bullet and the bayonet are the
best rulers in Indian territory. It ii
sometimes si id that the trade of
war makes these advisers somewhat
merciless ; but this is an en or , A
true soldier is always humane ami
merciful. No peace advocate would
go any further to prevent heedltss
bloodshed than would such men as
Grant , Sheridan or Sherman. But
they understand the Indian charac
ter , and they know thesavagesmust
be controlled by the strong
arm ; that where an outbreak exists
the sharpest and severest punish
ment Is the truest mercy. Our mil
itary commanders have hpiw almost
unanimous In the opinion that the
whole Indian management in peace
as well as in war , should bo vested
in the army.and we believe the people
ple at large indorse this proposition.
Army officers arc , as a ruleupright ,
honorable men , and the business of
the agencies would be more honest
ly administered by them than by
politicians or the friends of politi-
ciansr Outragcsare prncti&ed on the
Indians by agents , and no doubt the
wrongs the savages buffer are often \
the main cause of Indian outbreaks. ,
This evil would be removed by the
transfer of the business of the agen
cies to the United States Army. At
the same time few persons would be olw
olw
tlisposed to condemn or discourage w '
my well directed efforts to civilize w
md Christianize the Indian tribes , tow
we should transfer to the army w
Sti
he conduct of our peaccad tran
sactions with the savages we believe
ve should remedy many of the evils m
.hat lie at the foundation of all our In
Indian troubles , and benefit the gov- foi
irnmont , as wpjl as the Indian * , by he
Hitting a stop to |
pxstjng porrup- an
ions. If , when outbreaks io occur , th
vo should crush them with a strong th
ind severe hand , we believe that we thSo
hould be merciful to the savages SoGi [
ind jusl to our own people. But we 1 > , -
teed a policy In addition to this a tin
> liey that will rid us the most thi
peedlly of the necessity of support- thiW
tig the red men in peace and of ex- ex
crminnting them in Avar a policy pit
hat will make the Indian a civilized pitHi [
luman being , a self-supporting and old
Ihristian man. be
This js a sulyept which may well bill
ttract the attention of our States- noi
len , for In the sucuessful solution hei
the question lies a triumph great- ha1
than can be achieved in anv wj ill ]
her direction. The main difficult } *
Stlf
ppears to be in the separation of da\
tribes , and the concentration of car .
Indian mind on civilized pur * the
tits. While the Indians are allot- the'J
reservations just beyond thebor- 'J
rs of civilization , and are left to Ma
How such pursuits oj they maj * tha
ease , and to herd together , raids the
outbreaks with their attendant teei
irrors , must be of constant occur- niei
nee. The most important Hoi
in a new and tha
iser policy would seem tote yet , ,
to separate the tribes as far as plai
acticable , to put them on reserva- be 1
ms in the rear of the advanced mai
ircli of civilization , and to find wht
iployment for the young and but t
live men. The latter might be 10
accomplished Ly he formation of a
large Indian branch of the United
States Army , officered by white
men , and in the training and em
ployment of youngjndians on the
public works. Many other .sugges
tions offer themselves the same
direction ; but these crude outlines
of a plan may be worthy of con
sideration the tranfer of the business - "
ness of the Indian agencies to the
U.S. Army ; the strengthening ofour
forces on the borders , with orders
to make such warfare as may be
forced upon us short , sharp and un
sparing , in the cause of true mercy ;
the settlement of tribes within the
bounds of civilization ; employment
of young and active Indians in the
army , on public works and in other
directions. These are reforms in
our Indian policy that seem to de
serve the attention of statesman
who is ambitious of winning fame
and deserving the gratitude of his
countrymen.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The Democrats of Wyoming Ter
ritory renominated Col. Steele , del
egate to Congress.
The Michigan democrats will hold
their State Convention at Kalamazoo -
zoo on Sept. 10.
Mr. George C. Gorhani , Secrctary
of the United States Senate , appears
in California politics now as a can
didate for the Republican nomina
tion for Governor ,
The great American franker is in
trouble. The colored voters of the
2d Virginia District have come to
the conclusion that they have had
enough of Mr. James H. Platt , jr. ,
and have concluded to nominateone
of their own race for Congress.
Congressman Sherwood of the
Toledo districtin Ohio is finding out
to his sorrow hq\y m.uoh it costs to
treat ! on the toes of a postmaster ,
liis summary removal of that func
tionary in Toledo is likely to give
him serious if not fatal trouble in
obtaining a rcnomi'iation.
The lion. Hugh McCulloch , ex-
United States Secretary of the
Treasury , has been invited by a
number qf prominent citizens qf
Cincinnati to deliver in th.a.t city i\n \
adjro5d pit tljp sqhjopt of finances
and taxation s\t \ snuli time as may
be most convenient to him.
Democratic organs of the present
day are very inharmonious con
cerns. Some of them have twisted
and thumped the party platform m
Indiana until theyhave made it sat
isfactory on the hard money ques
tion. Others openly denqu.n&G the
resolutions ' qs hcrptipal , ami dispar
age all'attempts to make them say
what they are not.
The Boston correspondent of the
New York Tribune thinks that Gen.
Butler , knowing that h.9 PaUfiqt
carry thp IiopiMJilipan convention ,
and that he cannot have Democratic
assistance in the campaign this
yeir , will probably be found soon
declining the Governorship for him
self and giving nj his adhesion to
the nomination of Goy. Talbot.
Congressman Negley of the twen
ty-third Pennsylvania district is
preparing several speeches which he
proposes to deliver in behalf of his
own claims for re-election , flp had ,
better concentrate his entire power
upon one subject the "back-pay
grab" and he may then possibly
succeed in doing what no one of his
brethren has done yet namely , in
giving a satisfactory excuse for
pofjkpting the money. His consti.t-
tionta are very open to conviction on
this subject , but , like the historical
old woman , they "would like to see
the man who can convict them. "
Senator John Scott , of PennsyJ-
? SK Jie is "travel jng"p.vpr the
Stjjtf : , and. displaying the m.ost
pr.'ti.-exvortjiy interest In its social
and political condition. Mr. Scott ,
by the way , is very anxious to go
back to the United States Senate ,
and it is that sort of aspiration
which makes a man a first-class
hand-shaker. If it be true that Spn -
tor Cameron does not wjsli Mr. Soott
to rpturn , tjjp Jatter gentleman has
begun his travels none to eoon.
Hand-shaking is a great political
power , but the senior Senator from
Pennsylvania carries a vastly
greater one in his broaches pocket.
The Republican Convention of the
XlXth Ohio District , General Gar-
field's , wjll be held at Painesville on
August } 3. Concerning its choice ,
the Cleveland Herald makes this
confident prophepy : "It seems a
forgonp conclusion that General
QjjrfieJd wjll be his own successor ,
as hp te deemed one of the very
strongest men morally and intel
lectually of the National House of
Representatives , and there is a great
feeling Jn the district that it would
bc an irreparable Joss not to rc-eleot
tbe General. There Js a feeljng in
tile district that its present repre.
spijiiitlve js peer of the best in Con-
gro. > n , nnd the district has a just
pride in that fact. "
Tlie Hon. D. P. Lowe of Kansas ,
one of the distinguished Congress-
