The Chicago TriJ,,,,c is aping its namesake
of New York in lis Indian news, and it is quite
difficult to decide which Journal succeeds in
telling the most massive falsehoods. Its cor
respondent, who accompanied the Red Cloud
commission, after fishing about some time for
matter to furnish his letters with. fell suddenly
upon the idea that it would he interesting for
the Tribune readers to learn some facts con-
corning the issuing of beeycs at the Red Cloud
agency. After graphically describing the issue
and killing, he closed with the startling an
nouDcement that the bceyes issued, which were
estimated at 913 pounds average weight, did 4
not, in reality, weigh but $50 per head, making
3 discrepancy in the weight of 323 pounds,
which, if it had been true, would have been a
very serious and reprehensible matter. But it
has always been noticed that though the un-
principled libelcrs and falsehood-creators of
these twin journals have many days allotted
to them in which they can emit their vitupera-
ton unchecked, there sometimes comes a day
when their rank lies are nailed most effectually;
and this correspondent found his Waterloo on
the day in which he made his beef statement.
1t so happened that Mr.. Terrell,
of the comptroller's office, through whose
hands the accounts pass for the settlement of
beef contracts, was present, and witnessed
the weighing of the cattle and found the weight
per head TO be 973 pounds, the exact figures
shown in the agents estimates. Still, in the
face of this fact, the malicious and con-
temptible statement had gone forth, and was
copied by many journals throughout the coun-
try as another black mark against the honor
and integrity of the Indian Bureau. The
Chicago Tribune and its twin brother in New
York have been following this mean policy of
SANDER and prevarication for nearly two years,
during which time dozen thunder-storms
have passed over their respective heads without
the first bolt falling upon them. We are free
to say that the bolt is not at fault; it is simply
a restraining hand which is delaying justice,
so that when it comes its victory may be all
the more. complete.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading organ of
the imitation party in the West, but more es-
pecially in Ohio, says that the Eastern Democ-
racy shall be made to suffer for the obstacles
they have thrown in the path of the Rag child |
at the great national convention of 1876. 1t |
states that the South combined with the West |
will marshal their hosts against the "capital- |
lists and national bank tiends" OF the Eastern |
