The st. Louis Dispatch says:
"The ,Modocs are making the last
stand OF their race for the homes of
their ancestors and the sanctity of
their old hunting grounds: and the
people of Louisiana are making their
last stand for the sanctity of free cleo
rights.
This classification Of the Ku-klux
with Modocs is perhaps pertinent, so
far as the character of their deeds is
concerned. We protest, however,
that considering their advantages for
civilization the Modocs are the least like
sayages.
