Sitting Bull-Ta-Ton-Ka U-Ton-Ka.

ASHlN6TON, ", July ., loiV.
To the Editor Of the National Republican,:
SIR The whole country has been shocked by
the sad news of the fate Of Custer and his brave
men. Not for many years has such disaster
oyertaken American troops at the hands of the
Indians and now public attention is turned to the
Indian warrior who commanded the redskins
during an engagement which resulted in the
almost total determination of the attacking force.
Sitting Bull (To-ton-ka U-ton-ka) is a Yankton
Sioux, of the Upper Missouri, and receives his
name from being q feshy, indolent youth-the
Indian name meaning, literally, 'big aesh." He
is now about IS years old, and weighs in the neigh
borhood of l6S pounds, having lost his surplus
flesh, and now presenting a nne physique. He is
regarded as mentally the superior Of Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail, but his career has not been
usually required of brave before he Is advanced
TO leading position
Until within the past six years Sitting Bull
has been only warrior, but bold and independ.
ent one, refusing all overtures from the whites
and declaring his firm purpose to stand upon his
rights and treaty stipulations, regardless of con.
sequences. Numbers of the various bands of
Sioux, agreeing with him in sentiment, soon
placed themselves under his leadership, and now
his forces consist of portions of the Unk- -papas,
Minni-kan-ins, Ohe-nom-pas, Black-feet, O-gahs
la-las and Yanktonais bands, numbering in all
about 800 warriors. When the Indian Bureau
asked Congress for an appropriation last winter
ting Bulls band, the number of the band was
stated at Loo. In public debate the bill this
estimate was pronounced exaggerated, and a
prominent member denied that the band num-
bered over 100.
Sitting Bulls exploits since the organization of
his band have consisted principally of successful
defensive operations against the Rees, Mandans,
Assnnebrtns, Grosventols, Crows and the Black
feet Of the Upper Missouri. Occasional retaia-
tory raids have been made; and on several occa-
siOns whites have been attacked and killed for
trespassing upon the reservation of these Indians
Such was the courage and ability displayed by
Sitting Bull in all these encounters and such
his success In battle that his followers have come
to regard his command as absolute. his word as
law.
In all the efforts made by the Government to
induce the Sioux to surrender their title to the
Black Hills reservation Sitting Bull stubbornly
refused to listen to any, proposition. The result
was the Government abandoned the project and
notified miners and others not t01krespass lupon
the reservation. The notice was dfsregarded, and
the influx of whites forced Sitting Bull aud his
band to leave the reservation aud retire to
hunting ground in the Little Horn, four hundred
and fifty miles northwest Of the Black Hills.
Here he was attacked by troops under General
Custer. The country mourns the result. A
heavy responsibility rests somewhere, and we
hope steps will be taken to fix this responsibility
uDOQ the proper shoulders. f
