will receive full pay up to the end of
May, and rs on the first OF July the

Considerable comment is being
made on the action of the government
in taking the Sioux Indians to WASH
ington at great expense to the taX-pay-
ers. when it was well known before
the Indians started that they had no
power to negotiate for cession OF the
Black Hills country. 1t is said, by way
of explanation, that the pressure
brought to bear upon the administra-
ton by outside parties was irresistible,
hence the hasty and ill-advised action
of the Indian commissioner In order
ing the Sioux to be taken there. The
only gamers by the visit are the IT.
dams, who have pleasant trip at the
expense of the Taxpayers. The outside
parties interested in the cession of TIE
Black Hills country count among their
number several prominent officials and
ex-ollicials of the federal government
and the late government OF the DIS
trict of Columbia, who are thoroughly
nosted i'm the formation and manage
ment of rings, and whose relations
with the highest authorities have for
long time been the cause OF mucn
scandal. There seems to he no douol
but what it has been determined tha'
in case the Indians refuse to give W
their country on the terms proposed
by the administration, the latter VII
stand quietly and let the various expe
ditions now organized and in process
of organization in various parts OF th'
country move into the Indian country
and take possession of it if they can, II
which case the country will be taxet
many millions to pay the expenses o
the war which will certainly follow.
