BISHOP WHIpPLE-HIs VIEW OF THE Gus
TER MAssACRE.-Bishop Whipple, while
riding across his diocese on the cars, has
dashed off characteristic letter on the Lit
tie Big Horn massacre. He seems to appre-
bend that the public is not in the mood for
hearing good word for the Indians, and
that his structures upon the course OF the
Government will be received with impa-
tience. The venerable Bishop need never
fear that he will be accused OF q cowardly
dread OF public opinion. He is one Of the
noblest souls in the Northwest, and has at
heart the interests of his fellow-men, red
and white. He regards the degradation, the
hate, and the treachery Of the Indians as the
result OF a policy which has recognized
them as independent nations, made
treaties with them, and then violated them.
He contrasts the sickening harvest OF blood
that has been reaped with the quietude and
prosperity OF the Indian subjects of the Do
minion of Canada. owe left" he says. " the
Indians without government. We placed
them where no white men could live by Guilt
walton OF the soil. We established vast aims
houses. Whenever any Indian became an
outlaw or Ishmaelite we allowed him to
escape to Sitting Bull. For months war has
been imminent; the army, the agents, the
of warning; that unless we took steps to avert
it we should have one OF the most terrible
Indian wars in our history. No one needed
the warning. Congress spent months in
wrangling over the appropriations at a time
when the Indians on the Missouri were liv-
ing on half rations. We have placed them
where they must be fed, or they will hive to
steal or starve. 1t would almost seem rs il
by the violation OF our treaty, by the with
holding OF supplies, we wanted to force all
the Sioux into war. Our brave troops have
been murdered, not by Clusters rashness,
not BY bad orders; not by savage Indians,
but by nation which, after one hundred
years Of trial, persists In a policy which
sows plumbers and crimes and reaps massa-
ere and war;
