The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1876-07-13

OUR SDE.-The column editorial in the Atch-
ison Champion, relative to the unjust course of
the Ckicf, might have been itself more just, had
it not overlooked the fact that the Chief has very
rarely found fanlt with the editor of the Cham
pion. If he will go over our articles again, he
will discover that in nearly every case, where
allusiou has been made TO the editor of the Cham
pioH, it has been to the pro tenn. editor, and the
course of the paper under his charge. He GER
tainly did not pursue the course Of a peace-ma-
ker, the Champion claims has been its won't
but made the paper an out-and-out Hubbard or
gan. Did not Col Martin say, upon his return
from Philadelphia, that the pro TENS conduct Of
the paper had been entirely satisfactory to him
We might add, that we have said not one word
against Judge Hubbard's private character. Ex-
cept reference to his connection with the Lot
terry, everything We have said against him has
related to his acts as Judge. We have done this
to show why he should not be reelected, and ev
cry word has been true. This is the time to ex
pose such things-not, in the character of peace
maker, wait until after he is reelected, when it
would do no good.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1876-07-13

WHERE IGNORANCE Is BIIss-We would ask
the editor of the Sabetha AdrdRee whether he
has seen the volume Of Kansas Reports that he
speaks so learnedly of, which contains the decis-
ion in the Palermo case or whether he makes
assertions upon the say-so of Judge Hubbard or
some one of his friendsi If be has that volume,
will he please give the title of the case that he
speaks SO confidently Off But what is the use
in asking him to do what is not in his power Z
Somebody has told him to publish falsehood,
and he has done it, TO boost mp Hubbard's repu-
tation. The case decided by the Supreme Court,
was quo WarTaaio case, in which Miller and
Harrington were plaintiffs, and Kimber and 9TH
ers were defendants, aud was relative to the de
PENDANTS undertaking to exercise authority as
the city government of Palermo. The case we
referred to, was an injunction applied for by
Charles Miller against Robert Tracy, County
Treasurer, TO restrain him from collecting from
Miller the Palermo city tax. Hubbard granted
temporary injunction, until he could take the
points of the case under advisement. He has
the matter under advisement still, and perhaps
will continue to have until time shall be no
more. 1t has been under advisement 80 long
that he has forgotten all about it, and now in
ssts that it is that other case. But il is buried
out of sight, amidst the debris of the things he
has forgotten, and cannot be found in the Su-
preme Court Reports

A sIEAw-The last Democratic President bach.
eor Tilden Is bachelor. The last Democratic Prrsi-
dent was blind in one eye. Tden Is blind in eye
Straws show which way the wind blows.-Chiea9o Tines
Here are more etraws: The last Democratic
President proved failure, and almost ruined
the country. The Southern Confederacy, the re-
suit of Democratic teachings, chose man for
President who was blind in one eye. He was
not exactly a bachelor, but he made his exit in
the dress of an old maid.
But here are more straws on the other side /:
The opposition to the Democracy in 1870, nom
mated an Ohio soldier, Governor and Congress-
man for President, the first two letters of whose
name were Ha. The Democrats nominated q
slippery little trickster from New York, the last
two letters of whose name were en-. The name
of the Wing Vice President ended with Ter; and
while the Democratic Vice-President's name did
not end with drieks, he was called Dick. The re-
suit of the election will finish the parallel. The
only place that will fail, will be in case of Hayes
death. No danger of Wheeler Tylerizing.

FEARFUL STORM IN IowA.-0n the night of the
Fourth of July, about the same hour of the squall
in this part of the country, northeastern Iowa
was visited by fearful storm. The water came
down in perfect sheets, flooding the whole face
of the country in a brief time. This rain contin-
ned for some hours. The most terrible calamity
occurred at the little town of Rockdale, three
miles southwest of Dubuque. The town was
but small one, containing few houses, stores,
hotel, and q mill, and perhaps not over fifty
inhabitants. 1t was situated at the junction of
two creeks, which rose so rapidly that the town
was overfowed, and escape to the high ground
cut off. The mill-dam, above town, broke, car
rying away a railroad bridge, which was swept
against the houses, crushing everything in its
way. Not house was left in the town, except
the mill. Out Of the entire population, but one
family and q single man escaped. Thirty-nine
persons, men, women and children, were drown
ed Over thirty of the bodies have been recov-
cred. The water was twenty feet deep over the
ground where the town stood. Most of the citi-
zens had been celebrating the day in Dubuque,
and going home fatigued, were mostly in bed
when the food came.

....aere Of Clusters Command.

49,. :, the midst of the Centennial Fourth
~ InIv rejoicings, came the news OF the dread
g., sI.nohter of Gen. Custer and his command in
,ta Rlack Hills country. This occurred on the
oz,h of Juue, 30 or 40 miles below the Little
IJo-n Custer and Col. Reno were to make the
.ttack in concert but it appears that Custer,
feeling himself equal to the emergency, made
forced marches, and commenced the attack con-
trary to orders, before Reno came up. Custer
had less than 400 men, with which he attacked
a village of from 500 to 1000 warriors. Ont of
Clusters whole command, about 3l5 were killed,
and only Is wounded. The odds against them
were 80 overwhelming, that the men were drag
ged from their horses by the savages. The dead
were horribly mutilated. Seventeen commits
stoned officers were killed, including Custer, his
brother-in-lsw, and every relative he had be-
longing to the command. 1t is supposed the In
dians met with heavy loss, but the number could
not be ascertained, as they carried their dead
away. Reno's command were surrounded for
several days, but Gen. Gibbons came to theirres-
cue, and the Indians fed. w
1t is upon occasions like thess, that we can
appreciate the style of warfare of Harney at Ash
Hollow, or Chivington at Sand Creek. Annihi-

before, that the Indians are imposed upon and
swindIed This is true. Agents and contractors
have stolen the money appropriated for the ben
eft of the Indians But this is not sufficient
pallation to satisfy the public. 1t is no excuse
for their treachery and atrocities. As long as
Indians have the power to commit mischief they
will commit it, no matter how good the treat
ment they receive. 1t is 10 be hoped that Pres
ident Grant, by the time he retires from Office
will have his fill of his Indian polieyH Govern
ment will enter into solemn treaties with Indi-
ans, as if they were a responsible people, worthy
of confidence. Whenever the treacherous rascals
violate the treaties, and 60 to numbering the
whites, their leaders are invited to Washington,
loaded with presents, and their tribes are given

One was the same negro who attempted to re-
lease Lappin short time ago, and who had been

bye-bye, old fellow.
