THE SIOUX INDIANS.

By reference to the letter in our columns to-
day from DR.. Thomas S. Williamson it will be
seen that dreadful suffering among the Sioux has
resulted from the bad management of their affairs.
Where the blame rests we cannot say, whether
at Washington or in the Territory. We hope
our Executive, as superintendent will take the
matter in hand, if he has not already done so,
and not only as far as is in his power give relief
to the sufferers, but see that those from whose
misconduct this state of things has occurred, are
brought to punishment.
We would accuse no one wrongfully; but it
does seem strange to us that the annuities due
these Indians are kept so far in arrears. We hope
the Governor will stir up the Department at
Washington, the agent and the contractors and all
who may be delinquent in this matter, with a
sharp stick.
The Agent is, we believe, confined to his bed
with sickness, and consequently unable at this
time to make the necessary exerons for the relief
of the sufferers but some thing should be done
and that Immediately, or those from whom the
tardy justice of our government has been with
held will be beyond its reach.
