We regret that our space will not permit
us to publish it in full Itrequired q hours
time to read it, and it fills over eight
columns of the fine type of the Chicago
Times, which paper says: ut is by far
the ablest argument yet presented in favor
of national and Individual honesty; oppos'
ed to national dishonor and individual
ruin" The Chicago Journal says: 1T
shows thorough preparation, and, as an at
tack upon initiation, it was mastery. 1t
said we'll what has been said SO often be-

threw especial light was in repellIng the
idea that initiation, with its relief to the
debtor class, is in the interest OF the
laboring class.

RED DOG AND COMPANY.
Mr.. Spotted Tail Says Our Commits

The Indian commissioners at Red Cloud
Agency got over their scare on Tuesday,
so that meeting was held. Red Dog was
the principal spokesman. He said they
didn't like it because we had troops there.
Probably not. He said they wanted pay
for what gold has been taken from the
Black Hills; wanted to sell only that part
Of the Black Hills country where gold had
been discovered; for relinquishing the
right therein he wanted light wagon, a
span of horses, six work cattle, gun and
ammunition for each head of an Indian
family. What chance tor contractors!
The illinois penitentiary could furnish it
all! He also insisted that in future when
annuity goods come they wanted to be
Furnished a duplicate bill of them. so some
of their own people could examine it
which was all very proper. He then re-
tired, and Spotted Tail come forward.
