The Sioux City Journal states that Col.
Peck has decided to make Sioux City the
shipping point for Indian supplies, instead
of Yankton. Col. Peck, being interviewed
upon the subject by Journal reporter, said
"it was impossible to come to any satisfac-
tory terms with the managers of the Dako-
ia Southern road, and it had been decided
to hereafter run the boats down to this city
and load here. He said the railroad was
mot disposed to grant them any favors, and
as they had good line Of boats, they pro-
posed to come to this city, and not yield to
the high rates demanded by the railroad
for transporting the supplies to Yankton."
In our opinion the managers Of the Dakota
Southern road are not acting the part Of
wisdom in permitting the establishment Of a
rival water line, backed by the profits of a
big government contract, between Sioux
City and Yankton. The Peck boats will
take from the road large amount of private
freight not alone for Yankton parties, but
for up river parties. 1t is to be hoped that
this matter can yet be arranged between the
road and steamboat company.

A correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press writes a long communication from
Standing Rock agency, in which he depicts
deplorable state of affairs. He says that
Indians have died and are now dying from
starvation. The article is an attack upon
Agent Hughes and his family, and defense
Of II. f. Douglas, post trader, against whom
charges had been preferred. As Gen. Ham,
mond is operating against Maj. Hughes. we
are inclined to look with much suspicion
upon these alleged irregularities. Ham.
mond is notoriously efficient in promising
startling developments, upon the strength Of
! such promises securing the removal Of those
to whom he is opposed, and then failing ut
terly to make up case. The prime object
being the removal Of men who are obno1-
ious to Hammond, it is not of advantage to
him to develop the weakness Of his case by
pushing an investigation after they are once
out of office and out of his way. Our no.
tions Of justice teach us to favor the custom
of first giving a man trial, and then, il
found guilty, inficting punishment. But in
the Indian service the thing is reversed.
The man is first subjected to the punishment
and odium Of removal, and after that he is
promised trial which does not seem to
come. In Maj. Hughes case We believe
there has yet been no removal, but it is rea-
sonable to suppose that Hammond is after
him. He is an appointee of the Catholic
church, and the great reformer is down on
all religious organizations SO far as their
connection with the Indian service is con-
cerned. The fiction that Indians are starv-
ing to death at Standing Rock, at this sea-
son Of the year, will hardly go down.

A CITY PARK.

Beautiful for situation is Yanktop, the
capital of Dakota No site upon this great

splendid river front permanent by It's base
of boulders and gravel, make setting un

the beginning Of an era Of far greater deve-
lopment. Whatever doubts one may have
had before, this year maniiestly fixes Abe

improvements and aaornments.
The duty Of improvement Is In part pub.

thority alone can manage certain enter.

them. These are the public streets, grounds

character and advantage of public shaded
parks. This goes without argument lit is

rule of action by every large city. Health,
