The people of Philadelphia have been
cursed with Republican ring, and finally
took independent action to beat The
ringsters. A SO called citizens reform
movement however, headed off the citi
zans' independent movement, and the
same old crowd were nominated for all the
Offices. This was Republican dodge, OF
course, and now the people are just
awakening to a proper understanding of
the true inwardness of the ring trick
and hundreds of the better element of Re
publicans have oppenly declared they will
vote for the Democratic nominees. This
causes much uneasiness in ring circles. and
at consultation held the other evening
there were some interesting qnarrels.

members addressing each other. These

The good results to follow the transfer
ring of the Indians to thescare of the war
department was made manifest in the
recent capture of a portion of Sitting Bulls
band by U. S. troops. So long as Major
Ilges was hampered with orders from the
interior department, the Indians were
trifed with. but when that officer was
given authority to settle the questions in
dispute. he did 1t very effectually at the
point of the bayonet, and the hostiles
understanding that resistance would not be
tolerated. were quickly dispersed. There
never will be peace on our borders and
plains until the army is left free to move
against the red devils and murderers
when necessary. The peace policy has
proved to be an inglorious failure.
