TIE INDIAN WAR.

It has been proven, again and again, thai
the modern modes of warfare are INSULT.
cient to overcome and conquer the hostile
Nez Perces, in the West. The Indian art
of warfare is so different from that Of any
civilized nation, that it seems waste OF
time, and money, and lives, to follow the
plans of the present leaders. Indians never
stand and fight, but seek by stealth not
only to divest the enemy of property and
equipments of war, but also to commit
murder and as 'assination too horrible to
chronicle.
The latest news of Towards pursuit
comes to US this morning by way of Nir-
ginia City. General Mcdowell orders them
to keep vigorous pursuit to the end, and,
it is said, the Instructions were cheerlilIly
received, and that the troops will keep On
the move. General Mcdowell, who has
probably seen Indians only when those in-
teresting creatures occasionally came to
visit the Great Father at Washington, has
not had many opportunities to learn how
to fight them. He has lived in the hot air
Of the Adjutant Generals Office all his life
and is just the officer to direct such an IN
dian fighter as Howard.
There are many good suggestions which
might be acted upon to subjugate or ex-
terminate the wild men, who at present are
the source of so much annoyance in the
West. Lei all government aid be for the
present withheld, and let the fghtilg BE-
conducted by border sharp shooters who
have been reared among the Indians, and
who are acquainted with their mode of
warfare. Let reinforcements and supplies
be furnished by the Government, as they
are needed, and let the disciplined troops
who can fight only on dress parade, come
home.

THE RELATION OF THE GOVERN
NENT TO LABORING CLASSES.

At a meeting of the Governors of the
different States and Territories, he'd in
Philadelphia, last Tuesday, several of the
speakers alluded to the recent strikes and
riots. Gov. Bedle, Of New Jersey, said
'ft behooves us to adopt all means that are
lawful and just to secure work for the peo.
ple." Gov. Axtell, If New Mexico, said
"high wages make good times. but the
Government cannot make good times. The
workinsmen must not ask the Government
to take care of them"
We are all citizens of QUE common coun.
try, with like interests, and with an equal
right to good honest living. In these
times Of general depression, it is but Just
that the fortunate and wealthy should see
to it that the poorer classes, who are hon
est and willing to work for living, should
not 60 neglected and deprived of the
real necessities of life.
1t might seem that in the expression Of
such views, one could justly be accused OF
advocating division of the wealth which,
some, by persistent labor and frugality
had accumulated with others who had led
a life Of reckless frugality. But there is
just ground for the belief that the larger
number of those out of employment to-day,
belongs to neither of the above classes, but
are men who have contributed more to the
general stock of wealth than even those
who possess the wealth.
1t is far from just thatthe wealthy should
close the avenues Of trade and manufac.
ture, and thus throw honest laboring men
entirely out of employment, simply for the
sake Of shielding themselves from all LA
bility OF loss. Let work be given to the
unemployed, with view of offering them
assistance and let the wages be low, if
need be, yet not so low as to offer pre-
MUM upon idleness aud vagra0cy. Labor
as a means of appeasing hungor, should at
least be supplied.
1t is doubtless true, as Governor AxteiI
says, that "the Government cannot make
good times" 1t cannot dictate as to vheth-
er the crops and natural products of the
eoil-which really form the basis Of PROS

Says Columbus, Ohio, biographer of
President Hayes: "He is large, robust
and muscular, quick, but not nervous
Of movement or speech. His voice is
deep, strong, musical bass. His eyes
are large, blue and kindly of expression.
He wears his sandy beard full and care
fully trimmed, here and there in it you
notice a gray hair, as you also do in his
full suit of closely cut brown hair. His
form is full, but not corpulent; his teeth
are white as ivory, and his features
strong and well defined. His life has
been so pure and reproachless that all
good men and women respect him. He
never uses tobacco or Intoxicating
liquors. He never uses profane lar-
guage. He is candid, open, ,affable, and
ha1 no secrets; nothing to explain
nothing to refute. His character is
above suspicion, even after six bitter
political campaigns in Ohio.''

What benefit would the American
Government, not yet relieved of its ex-
treme need, render to itself and to every
city, village and hamlet in the States,
if it would only tax whisky and rum
almost to the point of prohibition! Was
it Bonaparte who said that he found
vices very good patriots? "He got five
millions from the love of brandy, and
he should be glad to know which of the
virtues would pay him so much?" To-
bacco and opium have broad backs, and
will cheerfully carry the load of armies,
if you choose to make them pay high
for such joy as they give and such harm
as they do. Emerson.

THE BLACK HILLS.
Facts of Interest to Those Who
are Going There.
Cheyenne as an Quitting
Point.

In answer to the many communica-
tions which we receive daily, we have
compiled the following budget of infor-
nation, for the benefit of all those who
are afflicted with the Black Hills fever.
While it is not as complete as we
might desire and promise to make it,
we think it will answer most of the
questions asked. The first query pro-
pounded is whether we really believe
there is gold in the Black Hills. This
has been too well proven to admit of
doubt. Good judges who have the
means of knowing, estimate the amount
of gold brought from the Hills during
the year 1876, at million and half of
dollars; as much more remains undoubt-
ly in the hands of miners and merchants
in the several settlements; for it is only
recently that the Cheyenne and Black
Hills Stage company has commenced
to carry gold dust with a guarantee of
safe delivery.
Gold is found in paying quantities in
nearly all the mining districts opened.
The richest discoveries in placer and
quartz mining have, however, been
made on Deadwood and Whitewood
creekiI, and along these creeks cluster
the principal mining towns in the Black
Hills.
Owing to the hostility of the Indians
the mountain ranges west and north of
Deadwood received last year but lit
tie attention from the prospector; but
it is known that that section also
abounds in gold and silver, which dur
ing the present year will be brought to
light by the hardy miner.
How to Reach the Black Hills.
Without decrying any of the propos-
ed routes from points on the Upper
Missouri river, we assert that the route
from Cheyenne northward is the safest,
speediest, cheapest and best to reach the
Black Hills. Cheyenne is at the juno
tion of the two competing railroads from
the East-the Union Pacific and Kan
sas Pacific. 1t will be two days. rail-
road travel to Cheyenne from Chicago
or st. Louis. The following table will
show the distance and present rate of
fare from these two points to Cheyenne:

We are credibly informed by the rep

panies, that special rates will be given
from Chicago to Cheyenne, to Black
Hills parties, which will be at least one
third less than the above rates.

Being anxious to get exclusive news OF
an interesting murder case he called on
the surgeon who had examined the vic

the Figaro published. Convicted of
this Misrepresentation, he was sentenc-

From Cheyenne to the Black Hills.

A fine natural road, over which the
United States mails have been carried
for many years, leads from Cheyenne
to Fort Laramie, distance of ninety
miles. This route passes through a
settled country, and good ranches are
found at convenient distances from
each other. From Fort Laramie to
Custer and Deadwood City good wag

been shortened by our county officers,
thus reducing the distance necessary to
be Travelled by freight teams over sixty
miles. The whole distance from Chey-
enne to Deadwood over thisroad is about
two hundred and thirty miles. The
