tons to meet this possible contingency
should be continued. although no aggres-
sive movement will be ordered while
awaiting General Adams return.
Secretary Thompson submitted some
dispatches, received at his department,
from the naval officers at Sitka and Sam
oan Islands Their tendency indicated
the advisability of establishing civil
government at Alaska, and that measures
should be taken to secure the rights
obtained by our treaty with Samoa for the

The Secretary desires me to say that
the Sitting Bull Indians returning must
be looked upon virtually as prisoners of
and ponies The idea must not be per-
mitted to spread that they can simply come
back and be fed Every one of them if
fed, must be made to pay for his rations
by work for the government. Enforce
this policy strictly aud keep them well
watched.
A letter received from the same Indian

EDITOR SPIRIT: The Greenback mour-
tain labored here Tonight at Tluax's
Hall and brought forth very diminu
tive dead mouse. Reports attribute the
death of the poor little "varmint" to the
Ignorance and incapaci.y of the younger
of the two attendants, but we opine that
it just naturally "died a bornin'" If
not disposed of earlier the Democrats
of Snnsbury will give it decent burial
in October. .
About forty or fifty persons OF both
political parties assembled to hear
Messrs Watson and Fiintexponnds some
of the widest financial theories ever er-
tcrtained by sane men. The former wa.
sufficiently guarded in his arguments to
avoid insulting the intelligence Of his
hearers and paid just tribute of respect
to George b. .spenileton hut tho latter,
in very bad taste and worse English, in
dulged in an abusive TRADE against the
Democratic party, garbled quotations
and statistics and either knowingly as
serted falsehoods or ignorantly proclaim
ed untruths until general thinning out
OF the audience to seventeen men (about
all Republicans) three little boys and
bull-pup notified him that il he did not
close In about three minutes he would
speak to empty seats and he dill close
right in the middle of a sentence. He
evidently did not think it expediert to
form club here Tonight, nor did we
1t was the only subject upon which We
agreed.
We wish it distinctly understood that
Sunshury not only refuses to swallow
Republican bats, but will add 10 our old
time majority in O:tober.
We know that it sa ldens the hearts of
our Radical friends to note the perver-
sity which SO pers;stently turns deaf
ear to their financial millennium by which
many hungry Republicans and a few
overcredulous Democrats expect to taste
the sweets of Office, but we cannot allie
viate their present distress, the sacrifice
would be out of proportion to their
grievance.
The Democrats of this Township are
too intelligent to be seduced by such q
transparent humbug as the Greenback
theory dished out~by Messss Watson,
Flint d Co. They have not forgotten
last years experience. They know just
how much reliance to place upon prom
ises from such source. They know
that the Democratic is the only real
Greenhack party and that every descrter
from it strengthens the Republicans who
are the Greenhackers most inyeterate
enemies and they, know that with sucI
Democratic Greenback leaders as Geo!
