The New Indian War.

/ We enter upon the summer with our
usual Indian war. At just about this
/ date last year the massacre of Custer
and his men took place on the Little
I Big II orn, and from that time forward
there was lively chasing of the red
skins, and the Government was put at
great expense to keep its troops iD The
field As the next result of their
work they got some Indians on reser
va'ions; and Sitting Bull at his leisure
led his band into Canada, where.
strangely enough, he seems to be au
entirely inoffensive person, though be
is such a terror when he gets % ,hi>
side of the line.
The present Indian troubles, like all
our Indian wars. grow out of the dis
satisfaction of the Nez- Perce tribe.
regarding their reservation. The iii
feeling has been of long standing, and
pow the Nez- Perces, thinking there il
no other way of getting their rights,
have started on the war path, aud are
falling on the white settlers wherever
they can find them What makes the
uprising the worse is that these Indians
have been wronged, and have griev-
ances which would anger even white
men. Young Joseph, the Nez Perce
chief, claims that the whites have en-
tered into his lands, and refuses to go
upon the reservation at the command /
of the army. By treaty made with
the Government in 1855, and one made I
in 1868, the Nez Perce Indians. prac
tically by force, gave up large part
of their reservation. The tribe was a
coUledsracy Of numerous bands, and /

Judge Hilton, one of the principal
beneiciaries, in the A t. Stewart es-
tate aud presen, head of the establish

Israelites, among whom was Joseph
Seligmau. banker of wide acquaint-
ance and large Influence.
Two reasons have been assigned for
/ this extraordinary action, one being
that the Jews were growing numerous
and troublesome at the large places of
summer resort-requiring great atten
tion, and, by their forms of diet and
social peculiarities, driving away
guests more acceptable and more profit
able to hotel proprietors the other
being that Judge Hilton had a per
sonal animosity TO some individuals of
Jewish faith, who had caused MIN to
be black baiied upon application for
membership in some secret society,
aud he proposed TO extend his retail
alton to the whole Hebrew family
Other hotels. are said, however, TO
sympathize with his action, and the
best opinion is, that the movement
has a social and peeuniary significance
II is announced that number OF

Judge Hilton little trouble, or. rather,
none at all. He says the accounts

Il appears that Mr.. Henry Hilton
has given orders that hereafter no Jew
shall be admitted as guest at the

that no Israelites shall be permitted IN

no candidate so suitable or so strong
as the prime sufferer by that fraud
/ Mr.. Tilien has made a great advance
in laying down his platform, with the
assent of Mr. Hendricks, and with the
