Indian Rivalry.

The failure of the Black Hills treaty ia
ascriLed to rivalries among the Indian
chiefs, who aspire, like whites, to be head
men. Red Cloud left Waship gton after his
late conference with the Great Father, for
the purpose on making the treaty on the
basis proposed, but in his absence the In
dian primaries were stocked. Thus was q
serious matter to Red Cloud, because an
Indian chief is not chosen at regular elec-
tions, but permanently. So he changed, to
follow the popular current, in true Amer
loan fashion, and the treaty was dead.
