WE are gratified to learn from friend
who recently had a familiar interview
with Baron ScHwARTZENBERG, the Aus
trian Commissioner at our Centennial,
that the Baron pronounced our Expo
sitlon altogether the greatest thing OF
the kind ever seen in the world. The
Vienna Exposition, he said. bore no CON-
parison to ours. 1t is also stated that
the order and decorum observed here
exceed anything ever known at Other
international Expositions. Good words

SELDOM has any incident OF Indian

SELDOM has any incident OF Indian
warfare stirred up among our whole peo-
pie so bitter feeling oil hostile resent
ment as has the recent massacre of Gen.
Clusters command by Sitting Bull and
his co-saVages. 1t only hastens the
period of the utter extinction OF the
whole Sioux tribe. And this result they
will have brought upon themselves by
their repeated and persistent atrocities
in defiance of all friendly offers and
treaty stipulations.
For fifteen years past, this Sioux band,
all the most ierocious outlawed Indians
OF the Northwest, have persisted in
depredating upon the United States, at
tacking our troops on the frontiers,
burning steamboats, on the upper rivers,
robbing the advanced settlements in
Montana, or turning their savage
assaults upon friendly Indians dwelling
peacefully upon their reservations. 1t
was this incorrigible clan that took ad-
vantage of the defenseless condition Of
our frontier Inhabitants during the civil
war in 1863, to protect whom large
force of our troops had to be Withdrawn
from other duty and sent to repel their
attacks.
In 1867 they threatened the white set
Elements, burned towns, plundered the
farms, and massacred women and chill
dren, until they were once more driven
back by force of arms. In 1870 this Sit
tackled the friendly tribes on the Yellow
stone, with occasional assaults upon
our forts on the upper Missouri.
In that year our Government appro-
prlated half a million of dollars to Sc
cure peace with these saVages by CON-
promise and Cancellation. But, while
they received the presents and promised
Quietude they were secretly instigating
hostile expeditions Tor marauding pur-
poses. Twice before had Gen. Custer
met this Sitting Bull, and punished him
for his Villainy.
In 1872 tnis band Of outlawed savages
invaded the Gallatin Valley, murdered
the farmers and carried off their horses
and farm stock. In 1874 he made wal
upon the Crows, friendly tribe, anC
drove them from their reseI vation. Ant
ever since their career has been one o.
murder, plunder, and devastation.
Even the Peace Commission was
finally compelled to request that the
Government should take measures tt
subdue them by military force. Ant
both the War Department and the
Indian Department have been tax
ing measures to this end. ONLY
last year some members of thu
Peace Commission, while in council
with the Indians. narrowly escaped as
sassination from these Sioux intruders
and were compelled to fee for safety.
The recent bloody deeds of the Blacl
Hills are also chargeable on this savagt
band. But now the hand of fate is abou
to fall upon them in stern retribution.

Platform with Interpretations.
The New York Sun, of July 4th, grows
patriotic and fervid on the platform
topic, saying:
"Tne st. Louis platform and nomina-
tions are very satisfactory to us on the
financial question, with the interpreta-
Cion which we put upon them.
"The platform is an elastic platform,
suited 10 amy cOiored spectacles that a
man wants 10 look through at it. 1t is
intended to be like tine suspende

words: Long enough for anv man ana

tended to suit Democrats Of different
States holding diametrically opposite
doctrines. For sucn purpose we do
not see how il could have been better
devised. 1t is like the restaurant in
California, where you could have beef
steaks, veal, or vension, whichever you
ordered, but all cut from the round OF a

WE think it not extrayagaut self
praise to say that in no other country of

We have not heard even a rumor of the
slightest indecorum on that day in any

HIS MESSENGER.
by MARY H. BRADLEY.

Marjorie with the waiting face,
Marjorie W tn the pale brown hair,
She sits and sews in the silent place,
She counts the steps on the outer stair
Two, three, four-they pass her door,
The patient face drOOps low again;
Still il is as it was before
Ga! viii he come indeed no more,
And are her prayers all prayed in yainP
Through the warm and the winter night,
Marjorie with her wistful eyes,
She keeps her lonely lamp Alright
Until the stars are din in the skies.
Through the gray and the shining DAY
Her Dalid fingers, swift and slim,
set their stitches, nor one astray.
Though her heart is far away
Over the summer seas with him.
