The following is the sentiment of
the riotous working men, Of the
city of New York:
awe have nothing to expect from
those in authority except oppression
and ill-treatment. We want bread.
The time has passed for US to sit and
quietly discuss plans for labor reform.
In many cases our families are abso-
lutely starving. We know where to
find bread, and We are strong enough
to take it.
We do not want reform; we want
revolution. The rich refuse US work,
and use their wealth merely to op-
press US. We will destroy their
wealth if necessary, and free our
selves"
1t is reported that the Indians at
Vcrmilion Bay, Minuesota-uinc.y
miles north of Duluth-are in a state
Of actual starvation. The failure of
the wild rte crop and the absence of
the usual annuitics and provisions
from the government, on account of
the untaithfnl ness Of the gov
ernmeut agents, has occasioned
this distress. 1t is stated-but the
statement is hardly to be ereditel-
the starving Indians have actually
eaten some Of their own kindred in
their desperate efforts to satisfy the
cravings Of hanger. Whatever may
| be the facts in the case. it certainly
is the duty Of the government to in-
stitute al vestigatlon into the matter.
and where its agents are found to be
at fault let proper remedies be applied
Immediately.
