The Grave" Knoxville PeO-
ME.

The editor Of the Knoxville Chron-
icle seems TO gush in an editorial Of a
columns length over what he calls the
uncharitableness of our city authOri-
ties in refusing 10y quarantine regu-
lations an asyluL for refugees from
fever infected districts, He does our
people great injustice. Our people
are charitable almost to a fault, tho
latch string of mansion or howell ever
hangs on the outside. The article is
an insult TO a generous people who
have always been ready to lend aid 10
distressed and suffering humanity.
The editor oil the Chr0a icis, one hun
dred and ten miles above the comta
gion, is very brace. Yet we learn
that the Ragsdale family were sent
three miles out of that courageous
city; is that the boosted hospitality z
We also learn that three women from
infected districts sought in vain a
place to rest their heads in that
grand city of open doors, and failed
to find hotel, Boarding house or pri-
vate home that would take them in
they having TO spend the night in
an open field.
"Let him not boast that putteth
on the armor but rather him that
taketh it off,"
Cleveland, be it remembered, is
only thirty miles from Chattanooga.
We haye hundreds of poor, with no
conveyances, money or supplies, to
enable them to run from the conta-
gion. To protect this class our city
fathers acted wisely in quarantining.
Knoxville, like jobs war-horse,
snuffs the battle from afar and is
very brave, but even courage should
not Islander her endangered neigh
bors.
We will wager anything that
should the plague become epidemic
in Knoxville, the editor Of the Chron-
icle would not stand upon the order
of his going, but go at once, while the
inhabitants of the novels and gar
retts of that open doored city would
be left to perish with the fierce fires
of the prevailing epidemic.
There is courage in that grand
city, bit it is after the order Of Falstaf.

The Chattanooga Times Of Friday last
prints an article SAID to be written by
a young lady visiting Cleveland, which
should have been Charleston instead Of
Cleveland. The article reflects upon
The people of Charleston considerably,
because they did not rush out with
open arms to receive the yellow fever
refugees. The Times Of Sunday, how
ever, corrects the mistake. The people
of Cleveland would like for the Times
10 be a little more careful in the fu-
ture.

The secretary of the interior has written
a sharp letter in reply to the criticism Of
Gen. Sherman and Gen. Sheridan on Indian
bureau management in their annual reports.
He calls on those officers to produce the
evidence in support of their charges and it
is to be hoped that they will respond. The
press synopsis of the letter says further:
Gen. Sheridan's intimation that the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail Sioux we're allowed
to select their present locations, owing to a
systematic working up of the case by traders
and contractors, is also made the subject Of
emphatic comment by Secretary Schurz.
He states that this policy was adopted by
the department on the earnest advice of the
distinguished Indi IN fighter aud manager
Gen. Crook, who, as a result of long expe-
rience with the Sioux. opposed any policy
that would force the Sioux against their
unanimous and determined protest to stay
on the Missouri river as seriously endan-
gering our peaceful relations with those
powerful tribes, and the secretary adds that
go far, at least, their loyal conduct seems to
have justified the course adopted.
1t will be no difficult task for Gen. Sheri-
dan to procure the proof asked for in con-
nection with the removal of the two agen.
cies above named, if any reliance can be
placed upon common report. Spectators
and freighters, backed by Gen. Crooks in
%fuence, accomplished the result.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Nov. o.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Nov. o.
There is very little news st,rring in rail-
way circles. The officials of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and 81. Paul railway company
represent that the grading on the Iowa ex-
tension of fifteen miles west of Sheldon
junction is SO nearly completed and the
iron being laid SO rapidly, that the termi-
nus, which as yet remains unnamed, will
be reached by the 1st of December. The
additional fifteen miles are being built with
the view of tapping q thrifty wheat pro-
ducing section, host only eastern cutie;
at present is via Sioux City and Sioux Clty
road. Early next spring the line will be
completed to Be'oit, a point on the Sioux
river twenty or twenty-five miles distant in
an indirect line. There connections will
be made with the Sioux City & Pembina
railway, a new line that has reached q sta
ton called Calllope and it is to be flushed
to Beloit before winter sets III. The sec
tion of county that will thus be reached is
already we'll settled and improved, and
promises to be a valuable feeder to the
Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul compaav,
principally in through business. The con
nectiou with tie Sioux City & Pembina
branch will virtually establish another grea,
trunk line TO the seaboard, and give the
business men of that far western region the
benefits of an active competition for trade.
1t will also prove Of incalculable benefit TO
the business men of Milwaukee, who eth.
er already have established, or may desire
to establish relations. with that important
section of country.
