The Tribune prints a letter from General
Crook, in which he says: The Indians
have no redress against lawless whites, even
when agents are honest and the Interior
Department appropriations sufficient I'm
der the posse e0mmitasus Act, the military
arm Of the Government Is pArzlyzed- The
whites seize Indian property. and .hs czSer
has only . shadouy hope Of recovery in the
Courts As Affairs are now, the Indian has
10 encouragement to be thrifty. When his
horses and cattle are big enough 70 be 81
any service they are driven OF in herds by
white renegades; when his wheat, corn and
vegetables are almost ready for market, his
reservation il changed Were we 10 treat
some q or foreign emigrants in such q
manner. it would not take long to turn
them into proving vzgzbonds. living by
robbery ard assassination"
The Tribune contends that the nation
has been engaged for years in systematic
lying, cheating, thieying and homicide to
wards the Indians il u re-echoes the
sentiment Of all just and thoughtful Amer
Jeans when il places the responsibility npon
the ignorance, prejudice and criminal neg
Egence Of the national lawmakers.
The Times Cincinnati special dispatch
says Stanley Matthews declares Grants
nomination Predetermined and demanded
by popular sentiment, and thinks that .
large number Of Democrats viii vote for
him.
The Times, in an editorial On the sub
ject, quotes e~x-Postrn2ster General Cress-
well, Of MARYLAND, a. fzvoEing Grant, de-
clzring the need Of the hour WAS for .
strong man to sacceed Hayes. But the
Times shows that Grant was Presidens
when frauds and terrorism in Southern
elections were at their height. and could
nos maintain the freedom Of the polls
against them, and thinks the need Of the
hour is something not eomprehended in
the CITY re-echoed by CressSel and others
like him, who attach more importance TO
the passions Of . party than its intelli-
ge1ce. Also, that the results Of the South
ern elections depend On considerations
wholly apart from the presence Of . strong
man In the presidential chair.
