An Omaha dispatch says Gen. Crook has re-
turned from visit to Gen. Sheridan. The
BannOck troubles being in another military d.
vision, it remains for Gen. Sheridan and his
brigadiers to await the issue of Howard's and
McDowelPs operations. The movements on
the Montana frontier necessary to protect the
settlers have crippled Gen. Sherdan's division
80 that it can render but littleiassistance. The
officers here believe the situation exceedingly
critical, and some do not hesitate to state that
the army with its present number cannot put
down the Bannock instruction, to say nothing
OF anticipated troubles with Sitting Bulls band
aud possibly with Spotted Tail and Red Cloud.
Gen. Crook said that unless the government re.
move these tribes soon, according to its
pledges they will remove themselves, which is
equivalent to going on the war path. Officers
here await every telegram from the Indian
country with great interest, not knowing when
there may be new outbreak.
Gen. Sherman considers the proposed com.
mission for the removal of Red Clouds and
Spotted Tails bands to the old reservation as a
job of freighters to use up the appropriation.
He does not anticipate any Indian war. T he
trouble with the Shoshones and Bannocks aris-
es from meagre appropriations, and, the
Sioux will not join them.
The commission to the Indians will leave
about July 1st and will confer with Red Cloud
and Spotted tail about the reservation, where
their tribes can support themselves by agricul-
ture and stock raising. 1t is said that the In
dian commission has directed all Indian agents
to insist that the Indians shall work in part for
the rations given them in the future.

The Resumption Act.
The Democratic organ, the Post, pitches into
Representative Ewing for preventing the pas
sage Of the Senate substitute for che House bill
repeating the resumption act, and says: "But
Tor his implacable opposition to everything but
the widest kind of financial theories, the adj
vocates OF sensible greenbeck policy would by
thls time have been in possession of all the
legislation they have claimed as desirable for
country when one of these wild theorists by
peculiar combination of circumstances has the
power to place his hobbies on the track and bar
the way Of wise and necessary legislation"
The editorial says further that many of
Ewing's friends regard his career In Congress
as total failure.

their attention, or had they not willfully and
corruptly left out the paragraph in the enrolled
Dill. He says, further, there are suspicious
circumstances connected with the matter, and
that there should be thorough and upsparing
examination, that the instigators may be
pointed out and merited punishment overtake
the guilty.
