With the war in the southwest, the un
settled state Of affairs ut W hite Earth, and
1umors of disatfection among the north
western tribes generally. the Indian prob
lem is again coming to the front and what
ever has bearing thereon possesses un-
usual interest at this time.
The government supplies now furnished
to the Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux Indians
who occupy the Sisseton reservation, will
cease ON the lst of July of this year. In
some instances the withdrawal Of rations
has been the cause of dissatisfaction and
q signal for outbreaks. Last week u mum
Der of pieces of artillery were sent to Fort
Sisseton, and two companies of troops are
10 be added " the two already stationed
there Four hundred soldiers, well armed
and supplied, would perhaps be sufficient
TO "heId the fort" against great odds, but
would be small force to take the field
and act on the aggressive. There are but
/ 400 to $500 Indians on the reservation OF
whom perhaps 500 are male adults, but In
the event of an outbreak the number OF
braves would be greatly increased. The
writer had the pleasure recently to meet
the Rev 5. r. Riggs, who was at Lake
Harriet, near Minneapolis, in 1887, and
VINO has spent lifetime in missionary
work among the Indians. He was on his
way to Beloit, Wisconsin, where he To-
Gated some time since for the purpose of
educating his sons, and where his family
now reside. Mr.. Riggs says the Indians
ure in the main peaceably disposed, indus
trious, many of them engaged in farming,
and in fair way to be self supporting,
though, as is always the case, there are
some uneasy spirits among them who
would probably prefer the war-path to the
furrow. Among the adjoining settlements
and villages the indians are well behaved,
except when under the influence of whs
key, which some whites are found low
enough to furnish them clandestlEely; then
they are dangerous. During the past
week, at or near Browns Valley, a white
man who had furnished liquor to an In
dian was stabbed in several places in tue
drunken row which naturally followed.
This of itself is matter Of small impor
lance, hut collisions of the sort are always
to be regretted. In view of the approach
ing chance in the status of affairs at the
agency, it would seem that the precaution
ary measures of defense by the govern
ment are we'll taken. An ounce of proven
ton is better than pound of cure.

country lying between the present Afri-
can and Asiatic continents, and THENCE

He was essentially black maa, as dis
tinguished from the white man; not an
African negro, but of dark leathern skin,
like the native Australian races. The
native Australian Is inferior in structure
aud intelligence to the African negro
lie Falls as far below the negro as the
negro below the white man, and Is 1aote
nearly related to the primitive man than
any other race. The black races now in
existence are the Hottentots, the ne
groes, the Australians and the Papuans,
the latter of whom are dark-slinned and
almost black, occupying New Guinea
and some smaller islands north OF Aus
tralia 49,,
Primitive man also gave birth to the
brown races. These are now found il
tho islands of the Pacific; and OF them
the Sandyich islanderg are specimens.

"MARVEsT MOON"

Owing 10 the daily progress the moon
Is making in her orbit from west 10 east
she rises sbont fifty minutes later every

day preceding. But in places OF consid

To persons Hho live ct conSiderabstlis-

tho moon proIOngs the light, TO the great
benefit or those that are engaged in gath

full moon al Ills season is called the Har-

As the moon can csser be full but when
she is opposite 10 the sun, and the sua is
never in Virgo or Libra but III onr autam-
nal months, September and Octohar, L is
evident that the moon is never full IN the
opposite signs, Pisces aud Aries but in
those tv months. Therefore we can have
only two full moons in the year, which
rise, for week together very, near the
time uf sunset The former OF 'sEsSs is
called The Harvest Moon aud the latter
