A POLITICAL REFUGEE.

From tho Hamilton t0nt ! Spectator, July OIL
As political refugee Sitting Bull must bc protected
in British territory with all the rights OF sanctuary
but II he abuses the conditions imposed by those rights
then he must be punished by our laws. That dealing
with him aud his basd Is delicate question all must
admit. and tho forbea OF she United states may
airiy bo claimed that ground. IL s not likely that
he and his band have much knowledge OF
law, and, what Is worse, our own Indians, who most
likely sympathixc with him, are. probably. not much
bettor informed, and any action against him is quito
likely to be regarded offence against them. But
much rs these facts may compoatc the situation
international duty must DO performed. The influence
OF the British name is powerful with the Indians Our
prestige among them has been gained by the simple
plan ot telling the truth, carrying our prom
ses and rgidy requiring them TO do the toward
That prestige ought TO be useful IN this case. but
whether II Is not cannot be permitted that British
territory should be made the bn.o OF hostile operations
against o country with which peace, the
the Indians understand that fact the less chance
will thorc be for unfortunate misu derstandnss.
