A wARllkE SUGGESTION.
Bon Homme Citizen.

Bon HomMe Clezen.
Rumors Of contemplated and possible dep.
relations by the Indians are afoat in all
parts of this county. There may be some
grounds for apprehension Of Indian troubles
for the coming spring and summer. The
people Of this part Of the territory occupy
an almost identical position ~in-rsuard to
tn 1atset 6cxted tribes of Indians Is that
which w. occupied BY the people Of south.
ern Minnesota in regard to neighboring
tribes of Indians at the time of the last
Minnesota massacre; aud it must not be
forgotten that a tribe of Indians that took 4
prominent part in that bloody scene are 10.
Gated at our very doors; whilst not more
than two days ride distant to the north are
other tribes that will bear constant and care
full watching. 1t would, We think, be no
more than a wise prudence for the citizens
Of this county to organize into companies
points Of rendezvous at the principal
towns, viz: Bon Homme, Springfield, Tabor
and Scotland.

Whitaker, the democratic congressman
from Oregon, reached the capital or not. At
last accounts he Was flying across the CONT

or fifty miles an hour and for all the public

track in the Atlantic ocean and been swal-
lowed up. No one but Mr.. Whitaker
knows why he was in such a tremendous
hurry. In his innocence he may have i'm
agined that congress could not proceed until
he got there.

Madame Anderson has completed her
walk, Rowell, Ennis and Hartman have
laid down to sleep, and for a time both the
public and the walkers are to have a rest.
The madame did no make her record Of
2.066 quarter miles in as many consecutive
ten minutes, having taken three rests during
the walk, and omitted twelve of the quar-

over length, and that she has in reality more
than filled her contract.

The Sioux City Journal republishes the
Chicago Times item regarding the Coulson
contract, which reads as follows:
A telegram received by q gentleman in
this city on last evening stated that the con-
tract for transporting the military supplies
to the posts on the upper Missouri and yell
lowstone rivers has been awarded by the
secretary of wal to Commodore Coulson.
The contract is worth about$3OO,OO 900. The
examination of the bids by Gen. ingalls,
chief clerk at army headquarters in this
city resulted in the discovery that two other
parties bad recorded lower bids than Coul-
son, but it was feared that a trifing fact like
that would not weigh much in their favor at
Washington, where Coulson has always been
. favorite.
The award at Washington was made upon
the recommendation Of General Sheridan,
and his accommodation was based upon the
calculations Of Gen. Ingalls, and his chief
clerk. If Commodore Coulson is a ~favorite
in Washington, it is largely because he fills
his contracts promptly and completely.

BILLY HICKS c0RALLED.

Billy Hick., formerly one OF the oh.rac-
tiers Of Sioux City, and more recently of
Bismarck, is now in this city. He came in
by the Pierre route, and was four days CO.
rallied on the Cheyenne river BY the Indians.
There were twelve men in his party, and
only one old gun, but they cut long poles,
and marched around with them every time
the scalpers came too close. Had the reds
known the deception they could have en-
tered his camp and beaten him and his
party to death with breech.clouts. He says
it was a tight box for a tender. foot to be in,
and he sighed continually to be back east in
his mothers back yard.

one who took great interest In and made his
influence felt upon the events of his fmme-
diate section, and one whose dignity of charac
ter, integrity of purpose, and temperate
habits commanded the respect of all who

as strict moralist in his personal conduct,
but he was tolerant and liberal in his inter
course with otheB-tolerant Of their opinions
and liberal in conceding to them the widest
latitude in the exercise Of individual rights
As youth, sixty-seven yelrs ago, he gave evil

by serving under the Old Flag in the war Of
1872, during which he won credit for distin-

A QUESTION OF OFFICIAL DUTY.

The New York Herald criticises Vice
President WHEELER rather vigorously be-
cause he is not in his seat in the presiding
chair of the Senate, instead of being "ab-
sent from his post, hunting and fishing in
:" the Adirondacks, during this exciting
Session" and volunteers the opinion that
had he been in his place the recent public
scandal in the Senate would have been
avoided. 1t says:
If Vice-Prcsident WHEELER or even Mr..
THURMAN had been in his place and dis
charged his duty the Senate might have been
spared that disgusting and disgraceful scene.
Mr.. LAMAR should not have been permitted
to complete the offensive sentence which
| reused the wrath Of Mr.. CoNKLING. He
should have been stopped at once by vigor-
Gus call to order, made to sit down. his words
have been reduced to writing, and no choice
have been left him between prompt retraction
and suitable punishment.
Vice-President WHEELER and the Vice
Vice Presidents chair when the disgrace
fell upon the Senate, and the responsibility
| is between them. In the first place, unless
detained from service by physical infrmity
the Vice President should have discharged
the duties and responsibilities of his trust
during this important and somewhat stormy
session. lie was elected by the people lor
that purpose, and nothing short of disquali-
| flying illness is an excuse for his absence
This he may have. We are not disposed to
prejudge the case, but certainly his absence
from duty at this time is great public mis-
fortune In his absence the Senate is pre-
sided over and run arbitrarily in the interest
OF the Democratic party, But little regard
| is paid to parliamentary law and usage, ant
under such a regime great wrongs have beer
| pelpetrated against the minority. Among
these has originated the difficulty that ha'
scandalized the Senate and the country
We have regarded it a great mistake TO sur
render the Presidency of the Senate into th'
hands of men who are TIT war with the Ad'
ministration and TO a certain extent with
the Government and its adopted policies
This fact should have admonished to n strc
adherence TO duty as protection of the
Senate so far as possible from the condi
ton Of things that history has been called
upon to record, aud which reflect uniavor
ably upon our national reputation.

vigorously at any moment to disturb, IL
not 10 overthrow, the Republic. 1nasmuch
as Bonapartism depended upon tradition
and the NAPOLEON name for its prestige,
now that the Prince Imperial has been re-
moved, GAMBETrA and his republican rule
seem to have no serious or dreaded obstacle
in the way, and the government viii no
under his guiding, though perhaps Mt
times erring, finger The dynastic impe-
rial element is now without leader, and
hence there is no further danger for the
present of coup dotdts or proclamations that
the best man and most capable ruler shall
suddenly step to the head of the govern
ment.
The remaining BoNAPARTE element is
weak and without direct cohesive power.
There are several direct descendants of the
BoNAPARTE house now living-Cardinal
BoNAPARTE, Prince LOUIS LuCIEN BONA
PARTE, and Prince ERoME BoNAPARTE; but
none of these seem to be within possible
range Of the imperial robe and coronet. The
Cardinal Is bound up in the sacred robes OF
the church, and Prince LOUIS LUCIEN is q
weak, diietdni sort of literary character
Prince JEROME appears to have alienated
himself from the Bonapartists generally by
his cold selfishness, and instead of enjoying
their confidence and friendship shares largely
in their distrust All these circumstances
taken in connection with the unexpected
death Of the Prince Imperial, would con.
spire to confirm the opinion that the Repub'
lie is for the present safe from any disturb
ance of its peace, quiet, and endurance
