will be back from his West
ern tour by Wednesday at
farthest, and will smile affectionately
and paternally upon the "knights OF
the Prairie" The real object in inviting
the Sioux Chiefs here is to coax them to
leave their present agencies in North
western Nebraska, and go to new
fields and pastures green" ON tue Upper
Missouri, where, owing to water trans
portation, the supplies can be carried to
them more cheaply. The Sioux do not
want TO go, as General Spotted Tall
says, "Becduse it is damn bad country,
full Of fevers and heap big shakes" His
wife died there OF chills and fever sew
eral years ago. The Government wise
ly rcfrains from using force In their
removal, tor the Sioux number ten
thousand warriors. The Sioux Chiefs
are expected on Monday.
BOGY AND DENNIS.
The death OF Senator Bogy, of Mis-
souri,, will make no change politically in
the Senate, as his successor will be
Democrat. Senator Dennis, of Mary
land, is not expected to 1--we. He is like
wise Democrat as his successor would
be,
SHARP SET FOR THE PRIZE.
And now Sunset Cox, the liyeliest,
triskiest little Democrat in the House,
mas engaged rooms for October /, and
will open permanent headquarters. He
says that Sam. Randall can't steal any
malc ches on him for the Speakership,
On dit that there Is serious opposition to
Randall in the Pennsylvania delegation.
Prominent Philadelphians say that they
are bound TO burst SamuePs slate
for Speaker. and that he will have q ma
jOrity Of the members from his own
State against him. Cox Is doing some
pipe-aying in Pennsylvania.
SENSATIONAL PURELY.
The dispatches sent out last night to
the effect that every clerk in the Treas
ury had been compelled to sign an agree
ment TO 60 home and vote in OCTOBER,
under penalty OF being put on black
list, and that Secretary Sherman had
approved OF 1T, are to-day pronounced as
false. There has nothing Of the kind
been done, thought of, nor would it be
permitted. The truth Is that Mir. Sher-
man has simply said this: If any OF the
Olio clerks desired five days ab-
sence to go home and vote, they could
have it, and no questions would be
| asked as to how they voted. 1t is also

has arranged for half fare to Ohio and
back for Republican clerks who want to
go. 1t is also true that some clerks, not
all, have been respectfully asked 10 con-
tribute, as they felt able, to the Ohio
campaign fund. There have been no
threats, no compulsion, no assessments,
nor anything at variance to thu new
civil service regulations, all sensational
reports 10 the contrary Notwithstanding.
THE NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONER.
The latest sensation is this: That we
do not get the name OF the new Indian
Commissioner from Secretary Schurz
becau,e he has instructed the Sitting
Bull Commission to Offer the place to
Gen. Sitting Bull himself, provided he
will come home and be d good citizen.
There are good reasons for
this course. Firstly, s. Bull knows
all about "Injun" affairs; secondly, he
Is native born and no carpet-bagger;
thirdly, he has energy, perseverance
and backbone; fourthly, it would be in
the strict line of pacltication, oonollia-
ton, eic., as adopted by Mr.. Hayes.
Still, we do not Youch for the truth Of
the report, but give it as current rumor.
