EminentIy Proper and Right


The resolution passed By the Republican
Delegate Convention on .Tuesday, seemed
to have the effect OF slightly disturbing the
equinimity of l.. F. Egser- and few oil
hIs political sdhereuts. We regard the
passage of the resolution sustaining and
approving the past course OF the Hon.
John j. Ingalls, "a emiueutly proper and
right at this jancture, snd the more so,
when we consider that our Senator is 10 be
Investigated" by a committee, the mo jority
of whom are Democrats, the least OF whose
interests at this crisis in political affairs
would be to exhOnOrate him. That Mr..
Ingalls, has besu and is now power
within the Republican ranks no ore more
fully understands and appreciates than the
Democrats themselves, and they are only
too much elsted to find recusant RspUblI
cars whose bitterness from political dIsap
pointments, to aid them in an attempt tC

and powers of logic and statesn anship they
fear. We heartily approve OF the action o

count OF a rece mt plot among the Nez Perces

a reservation near the salt fork of the Arkan.

Indians. For some weeks past these Sez
Psrces have been holding councils and ex-
pressing their dissatisfaction in regard TO
their location, which 1t seems Is very un.
healthy. Their repeated declarations In
council were, that If they remained they
would all die, and IL they would cut their
way ont and attempt to reach their old hunt
ing ground In Idaho, they would all be
killed, and they might as well die fighting as
tn die of fever. Last Monday a week, Nj.
Grammar, the agent, was told to stay away
from the councils as they did not want him.
put chairman seized occasional opportunities
TO secretly listen to their talk around the
council fire, and by his intimate knowledge
of their language soon learned that their
purpose was TO kill him that night, to fscili.
tate their escape from the reservation. One
Indian ayowed his intention t. shoot him
with a revolver, several Of which bad been
secretly retained by the Indians. Mr.. Chap

also by a squaw for a cook, poured vast
nan of water on the ground and with th'
mud. smelred his face TO disguise his color
then taking the squaw's blanket put 1t on, a
the same time drawing it up over his heas
