Strange coincidence that the officer under whoso direction the Sitting Hull campaign of 1870 was conducted should die almost at the SHtne time with the renowned Sioux chief, (ieneral Alfred H. Terry w as In command of the de-partment of Dakota when Custer mado his last fatal charge, and immediately upou receiving the tidings of the mas-sacre he took the field in person. He was a tall, handsome, robust man then. A few years ago he retired from active duty on account of ill health. Urights' disease having fastened Itself upon him, and he died yesterday morning from theeirccls of it, at "the ago of M, or short one year of the time when ho would bo entilled to retire, under the operation of the law of 1KM3. With Major General Terry disappears another one of the imposing ligtires of tho civil war, mid a general w ho ob-tained tho highest rank and honor in tho regular army. Horn in Connecticut in 1.'7, ho Was 'educated at Vale for the Inur eiwt fur i vi'i-- mior to the war ho was dork of the supremo court of liis native stale. luuuoiliatrly ou tho outbreak of tho rebellion ho raised a regiment at the head of which ho look part in the first hattlo of Hull Huo. In command of another Connecticut regi-ment he was present at the capture of Port Hnyul. llo took command of Fort Pulaski aftor its capture; was mado brigadier general of volunteers in l(ia, participated in the operations round Charleston, and at Forts Sumter and Wagner. In 104 he led a division of the army of the James, participated in the Virgiuia campaign, and was at Ber-muda Hundred and the siegoof Peters-burg, llo led a second expedition against Fort Fisher in 115 and took it by storm, tho lirst expedition tinder lien ilutler having failed. This his most conspicuous servi ce and most re-markable victory earned for him the commission of brigadier goneral in tho regular army. Ho assisted In tho cap-ture of Wilmington and commanded tho Tenth corps during the North Carolina, campaign, and by tho death of (ien. Hancock he was mado major general.

There are, no doubt, anions the Sioux men like lied Cloud, Silting Hull and others who are fomenters of disorder, and who are prou.pt to seize upon any Occasion which will lead the people into a war. These men should be arrested at the earliest possible moment mid carried to the Indian territory, or to some distant Indian reservation, aml placed thus in u condition to make harmless any adverse inlliienco which they may possess. Boston Herald. There are too many lras4 hand gen-erals; too many men willing to die for their country when there is no one to kill them; too much eastern credulity and western indifference. In tho nunio of th unprotected settlers ho are at tho mercy of sensationalists and Indian fakirs, and on behalf of the great west, whose development is being retarded by the alarm, wo protest against the government's plan of campaign in this latest fiasco. Butte Miner. . So it seems that another real cause of all tho Indian row was Mr. Porter's census. Finding himself on short ra-tions already anil finding that Mr. Por-ter cut down his rations still further bv reducing tho per capita basis of distri-bution, tho untutored savage began lo dance for a recount with us much po-litical sagacity and vigor as if he had been an original member of the Tam-many Iribe.St. Louis Kepullic. One hundred thousand dollars to buy beef for the Sioux will bo money far better spent than the great sums which will be paid out for tircanns to light the savages with anil bestowed upon railroads to carry regiments over half the continent to hem them in and cow them into starving peacefully. Albany Times. Now that the Indian war has broken out in tho United States senate the statesmen at Washington will probably be going around with knives in their and tomahawks in their belts. (boots Heed's sash, if lie still wears it. especially handy for that pur-pose. Pittsburg Dispatch. Indian fighting helped one man-Will- iam Heury Harrison to gain the presidency, out the general who hopes for any. glory of this sort from the preseut disturbance is more deluded than the ghost dancers to whom ho is looking for aid in his ambition. St. Louis Globe-Democra- Let the Indians have ground that they can raise something on, pay them the money that is duo them and there are millions of dollars due the Sioux race, while they are starving give them tho rights of other m "ii and then tell them to root or die. Omaha World-Herald- . Zero weather and six inches of snow-i-thn Dakotas have conio to help solve the Indian problem. There is not like-ly to be a war beforo spring and a tdow going government may be able to seltlo matters peaceably by that time. Minneapolis Tribune. The senate has done well in passing a resolution to issue arms to the frontier states. Jt is only just and fair that as much should be done in that respect for the white settlers as has been dono for the Indian.- - St. Louis Globe-Democra- t. The government is in a dilemma. To feed the Indians is to make them light-ing fat. To take away their rations is to make them lighting hungry. Why uot try Blaine's reciprocity recipe oil them? Cleveland Press. If. asC'eueral Miles states, the present Indian troubles are caused by privation and neglect, it would be belter to send out a hundred thousand rations than to send out that many guns. Scranton Republican. The senate is wasting a good deal of time on the Indian question that might better be applied to certain issues which the pale faces voted upon in the late lamented election. St. Louis G If Sitting Hull will but stop the dance tho government will agree to call otf the war Thisanaugi merit would be fair and at once put an end to the whole trouble. Washingtou I'ost. Indian wars are very expensive to tho government and very profitable to indi-viduals. Therefore we are likely 10 have such wars lung aft.--r Indians have become extinct. Troy l'ress. It would be singular if enough of an Indian war could not be scared up to make an excuse for putting thirty or forty thousand new names on tho 'pen-sion roll. Troy Press. Uncle Sam to his spoilt Indian chil-dren: There, there, put away your guns. They're too dangerous for play, things. And I'll give you some bread aud butter. Buffalo K.vpress, Arbitration is very well and ihe peace society has a giorious mission; out how would it set about arbitrating with the Rosebud Indians, for instance? Phila-delphia Inquirer.

John Laurens Manning Irby'a record, the more overwhelmed are wo at the latest contribution of Suuth Carolina to the United States senate. Until the elec-tion of Fred Dubois. J. L. M. Irby will bo the youngest member in the upper houso of congress; but, young us ho is in years, ho is not by any means a Bpring chicken in experience. Back in the seventies ho was outlawed by (iov-crno- r Simpson for killing a matt named Kilgorc in Luureus county. A reward of $1001) was offered for his arrest, but helled tho state and remained away until the affair blew over. Then ho re-turned to Laurens and, with the aid of G. W. Shell, then clerk of court, and now alliance member of congress from South Carolina,.was acipiiiUul. Irby'p next exploit was to arm himself with shotgun w k' fo ho was painting the towh of Laurens red, and defy the town ai. tjiorities to arrest him. Ho paid a lit. ln this. Thcnorae man offend Jhj(r sd Irby brought one of bi n'egVoe. from his plantation, gave him a horse-whip, and, catching the offending citi-zen unawares, held a pistol to his head and one to the negroe s bead and com-- , pelted the negro to horsewhip the man. The next exploit was to go with his brother into the town after a justice of tho peace who had offended him, and between the two of them they slashed tho justico to pieces. South Carolina has once before sent a tough to congress in tho person of Preston S. Brooks who assaulted Charles Sumner in May i85fl, striking him over the head with a cane while in his chair in the seuate chamber and severely injuring him, but Brooks was only a member of the lower branch and his preliminary training, while bad, was not quite so thorough as that of Farmer Irby. We shudder to think what the latter, a senator, might do if his fur were metaphorically stroked the wrong way in a contest with some such gladiator as Iugalls. By the way, the house of representa-tives did not expel Brooks for his brutal assault on Sumner, but he resigned only to bo immediately by his constituents. It is well to recall his-tory now and then for the benefit of those rirtuoua democrats who at times forget the past, especially when a com-parison would be odious. Thus they clamored for the expulsion of Cannon, one of the most useful members of congress, on account of some otlensive though not insulting language he used in a heated debate last session, wholly uniuiudful of the worthless rutlians they sustained when they had the power. Prnois shows tho staying quality that wins. ' It was by a Tomahawk that Sitting Bull died. It is the shillelah now that is taking a prominent part in the Irish election. The city council did well in choosing J. F. Jack for city recorder. He will y . mVnke acapablo officer. j X IXay, (lOt i.n's ipoliey is beginning fo ,:. " jTwfr fruit. Yesterday tho work on tho Pt.f tland-Seattl- extension was aband- - oned. So the Hock Springs mines are closed on account of a strike. There is method In the frequency with which the mines are shut in midwinter. Chairman Conger of tho coinage committee of the house of representa-tives, resigned from congress to become minister to Brazil. Mr. Conger is an ublo man but just now we rather sea him it) Brazil than at tho head of the coinage committee. The Salt Lake and Hot Sprinfs rail-way onli nance was passed in council last evening. The company moans business and it lias pushed preliminary work from tho first day of its organiza-tion. If tho weather continues favor-able the road will be running within another month. I.ATF.K accounts confirm the fact that Sitting Bull surrendered himself to tho polico who had camped adjoining his tent all through the night preceding his arrest. Agent McLaughlin's ver-sion of the affair when reported to the Indian commissioner should bo given to the country. How the spectacle in Ballinakill roust delight Balfour and Salisbury! When parliament reassembles next month these two worthies will adorn a tale and paint a moral trom tho scenes en-acted by Davitt and Parnell's partisans yesterday. The Irish furnish their ene-mies plenty of argument. At one time Governor Campbell of Ohio wa3 groomed as a dark horso for the democratic nomination for presi-dent. .Noting the signs of the times, he has determined to retire from politics at the end of his present term and re-move to Xew York, join Cleveland and Hill and Whitney, as it were. Anothf.r lie on Speaker Reed is nailed by his appointment yesterday of Wickbam of Ohio, as chairman of the coinage committee in place of Conger, resigned. It was said the speaker was trying to postpone silver legislation by withholding the appointment of a chair-man of the coinage committee. Thr Omaha Hee says: A representa-tive of Womens' labor organizations is busy at Washington with an effort to have congress interfere with the board of lady mauagers of tho World's Fair. She says that only "ladies" have been appointed and that "women" have been entirely ignored. This distinction has a real significance as she puts it, her claim being that tho persous chosen owe the honor solely to their political influence and that none of the active leaders of tho masses of working women received any attention. There is a measure of justice in tho complaint. Most of the ladies on the board are good representatives of their sex and their various states, but there is uo good reason why women liko Helen Campbell, who are the leaders of impor-- tant social movements, should not have been also included. The fair should be broad enough to include all interests and it must be carefully guarded agaiust aristocratic proclivities. Days for eulogies in congress are common enough; yesterday, however, was a day for swearing at the census w hich might have relieved the pent up feelings of several members, but hurt nobody. Except! ug iu the case of Xew York City there was not even an effort made to produce any evidence that the count was unfair. The "kick" was on general principles. It is just as well to have a liberal sil-ver bill bearing the approval of tho re-publican party and stopping barely short of free coinage as to have the latter boon at the expense of republican harmony. Tarty discipline at this time is worth maintaining even at a little acrifice. The Taylor bill offers a com-promise which is endorsed by tho two extreme mouey factions, Windom on one side and Plumb on the other, and it cannot therefore fall short of uniting the republicans on a satisfactory meas-ure. 4 As was noted in The Times yester-day there is little or no opposition to Bunnell's reapportionment bill and tho new houso will contain S"( members. One member, Mr. Tillman, is in favor of a houso composed of 500 or GOO mem-bers, and a senate of six members from each state, and will probably make a speech iu support of his views when the reapportionment bill comes up tomor-row. Ho made a strong speech in committee when the matter was under discussion, and members say his re-marks will certainly be interesting, and that is all they will am junt to.' ir ' One Game of Foot Ball.
