Are We to Have an Indian Ware

1t looks as though we are to drift into
war with the Sioux Indians, of the Black
Hills, unless something Is done to avert IT,
Tne Dakota, or Sioux. Is by tar the rong-
est of the uncivilized tribes OF the West
General Custer computes that in case OF 3
general war they could put from 5000 to
10, 900 warriors in the field, but the number
has been raised b. others familiar with In
dian affairs to $4,000. Contrary to the case
of other tribes they have Increased In
numbers during the past twenty five years
and are we'll armed. They are as brave
in fighting as Indians generally and as
cunning as serpents. They are led by able
chiefs, and but for the fact that the leaders
Of the different bands are almost as jealous
of each other as of the whites We should
have had war along the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad long since. The lrrup-
ton of adven turOus miners into the Black
Hills as soon az the winter is over will
probably lead to trouble, the negotiations
with the Sioux for the purchase OF the hills
last year having come to naught. While
many of the ehrewd old chiefs, who
would like to make what they would
thipk Q good bargain with the gov
ernment, will try to restrain their fol
lowers, it is to be feared that some of the
Young braves of the rovlng bands will de-
scend on the miners and 50 precpitate hos
tiities. Blood once shed on the border
means blood to be shed, ana unless tne gov
ernment is very alert we may find ourselves
| in the midst of war to which the Modoc
struggle will be mere bagatelle, and
which will cost millions in money and pos
siply thousands of lives. 1t is, of course,
| correct to take the best military precau-
| tlone, and General Custer is a good man to
intr, ct with them; but the best efforts
must be made to prevent hostilities, by
| seeking fair peace terms with the
! Indians. Iu the present depressed
state of trade rapid increase OF
! territory available tor settlement is not our
greatest desideratum, but while these grand
| wild regious remain to tempt those who
have tail III the E .st, We may be certain
that the energy which hard times keep
latent will enaeav0r to assert itself out
there. The cry Of gold" raises an insatiate
hunger at any time, and no it is likely to
be doubly etfective, no matter how misera-
bly, the diggings may pan out" Danger
| viii not deter the adventurous. The pru-
dence of neither Indians nor miners can be
relied on. While there is yet time let the
government do all in its power to prevent q
| war. This is a natiOusl aud not political
| question.-New York Herald

We learn that the suit of this we'll known
lady has just been decided by the New
York Court of Common Pleas in her favor.
We have before US a brief of the opening
address to the jury by her attorney, MIR.
Dawson. in which We find a very earnest,
almost horid. plea in behalf of the little
lady. She sued, as Administrative of the
estate of her father. John Alexander, Ira C..
Gardner and Others Tor 100000, being the
amount of the estate. as she alleges, at the
time of Mr.. Alexander's death. Mr.. Daw-
son draws copiously upon Dickens for tg-
ures of speech to illustrate his argument,
aud finally draws what he has manifestly
struggled hard to Obtain-a verdict of the
Jury in favor of his client.
We have seen NO notice of appeal, though
IT is quite probable the case will be carried
to the Court of Appeals.
