DEATH OF Miss FANNIE X. A1sToS.
-Miss Fannie X. Alston died at the
residence of Major II. W. Wood
ward on Saturday last. She had
been i'll failing health for many
months, and for some time past
there had been little or no hope of
her restoration. Though of frail
constitution from early youth, the
disease which caused her death,
consumption, did not show itself
plainly until about two years before
the sad event we are called on to
mention. Her remains were inter-
red on Sunday at the family bury
ing-ground near Monticello. Miss
Alston was the daughter Of the late
Col VIM. j. Alston, once promi-
ncnt citizen Of fairfield. She was
but in the twentieth year of her
age, and her death, though not
unexpected, is on that account q
peculiarly sad one. Aside from the
"miablo qualities which endeared
her to hcr kindred and friends, there
was to them, before the signs OF
deadly disease were manifest, every
reason to feel assured that size
would he spared to them through Il
long and happy life, and her death
is on that account all the more sad
and all the moro trying bcrcavc-
mcnt.

THE INDIANS AND THE ARMY.

Crooks recent achievement of sur
rounding and disarming Red Cloud and
his band and putting Spotted Tail at the
head of that tribe Of Siox illustrates with
force the wisdom Of the proposition to
turn the Indians and their agencies and
tho Bureau which is named in their
name over 10 the military authorities.
The Herald is strong advocate OF this
method of controlling the red men and
disposing Of the so called Indian Prob
lem. 'fhe lately announced result OF
the enumeration OF The Indians at Stand.
ing Rock" says that paper in its issue
of October 90, fought to convince the
public and the authorities that the true
way of dealing with the Indian problem
is to hand over to the army the complete
control of the Indian agencies. TIE
Herald has time and again urged the
necessity of this measure, and the first
experiment at Standing Rock shows
clearly how sound were the arguments
put forth in support Of that view. 1t is
not necessary to assume that all Indian
agents are. or have been, dishonest. be-
cause We find much less than the esti.
mated number of Indians at a particular
place now when We have concluded to
count thsm. Under the old system the
agent took the word of the Indian
chiefs. or rather the word Of the inter.
prefer. generally speaking a most unre-
liable person. Then the Indians cared
very little for the agent. except in SO for
as he was the dispenser of gifts. They
never thought of obeying him except
they were bribed to do so, and lie was
powerless to make them obey him. Once
TIE Indians are placed in charge OF the
military the conditions will be wholly
changed; the warriors will be brought
face to face with men who have the will
and the power to carry out the orders of
the government. The Issue OF rations
will be conducted on the same principle
as adopted in the army. with a complete
system of checks. 1t will be found
great saving to the government and
great advantage to the Indians, and will
soon put an end to the chronic state of
war which has existed for years along
the border. These disorders have been
wholly due 20 the corruption of the sys
tenn we pursued in dealing with the red
man. Once the provocations due to
policy Of mingled weakness and cruelty
