GOING HOME I'D RO0sr.

Just before the election the New York
Sun publishsd a pen picture OF Samuel
J. Tild-n, which was intended to repre-
ssnt that great aud good man in the
lisht Of a student worthy to be made
President Of the United States. IL de-
scribed him M riding down Nassau
street In his private carriage. stopping
at an antique bookstore. and studiously

failed to discover. but which were the

in collecting his bill. This fact brings

THE RECENT ARRIVALS.
Twelve IhousandI Immigrants pitch their
Tents on Dakota Soil.

Twelve Thousand Immigrants pitch their
Tents on Dakota Soil.
Adyices from up river are to the effect
that six thousand of Red Clouds Indians
have arrived at the Yellow Medicine agency
and are now in camp all the way from six
miles to twenty miles from the river. They
had good weather for the trip and a plenti-
full supply Of provisions, SO there was no
suffering among them and they have prob
ably ere this pitched their tepees for the
winter and are comfortably masticating
Uncle Samuel's %rations. The agency and
reservation for Red Clouds Indians is one
IN which they can make for themselves a
permanent home where they will attain to
all the beniticent results arising from con-
tact with civilization and the easy reach Of
christian missionaries. They will no longer
be isolated from the fostering care Of the
parent at Washington and exposed 10 the
tricks of speculative whites who would de
prlye them of their substance for the sake oil
intrinsic gain. The strong arm Of national
protection can reach them where they now
are and they are very unwise led men if
they TAIL to take in the situation and com
mence singing halleluiahs of praise to those
who have delivered them out of The wicket
ness which enyironed them on the oesert
plains OF northwestern Nebraska. Where
they now are they can raise cattle unlimited
and pursue agriculture with ali the ardor of
their bucolic souls. The same remarks will
apply to the Spotted Tail band, which has
already arrived at and near the old Ponca
agency. There are about six thousand in
this party, some twenty eight hnndred OF
their original number having seeded on
the .gay over and started for the northwest
hunting region. 1t is probably these bad
Indians who are now depredating in the
neighborhood of the Black Hills and thty
are in sufficient numbers to make it lively
for settlers and travellers. Cold and hunger
will doubtless conquer them in time and
force them to come to the river for some
thing to eat. These two new agencies are
now fully established and if the Indians
will remain long enough to see the advan-
tages OF the change they will become a happy
and prosperous people in their homes on the
Big Muddy.
