RUSSELL sAGE's BLUFF.
Russell Sage said MANY strikers have
returned, but will not have the positions
they held before leaving. They must COM
mencs down and work up. Many viii not
be employed on any consideration. We have
all the men we want now. l have been four
years on tie Finance Committee, and in all
my numerous official connections wi h rail-
roads, l never saw moro complete system
of management than in the Western Union.
1t is based on true civil service reform prin-
ciples, advancement by merit only. These
strikers have magnified the Importance of
teie9raphy. One can learn in thirty days. [
will guarantee to have $4,000 operators
taught in thirty days. This talk Of plugs
and years of study and practice is all non
sense. Our help is well paid. Fifty dollars
q month is good pay for that class of work. !"

Crooks Campaign.
CHICAGO, August 1st,-Tbe Times special
from Dallas, Texas, says: The leading pa
psrs of the North have taken Senator Gibbs
of this city severely TO task for his statement
of the Indian situation in the Southwest and
Crooks recent campaign. A correspondent
called on Henry L. Underwood, Just back
from tie scene of Crooks exploits. Under.
wood is prominent and respected citizen
and capitalist of Dallas. He stands as
high in public estimation for veracity as any
man in the city, and Whist he said to the cor
respondent fully confirms every word stated
by Senator Gibbs, and it voices thu senti.
mont and feelings of the citizens of New
Mexico and Arizona liz regard to the Indian
policy of the general Government, and the
recent exploits of Crook. Underwood says
he SAW the Indians captured by Crook, End
that they were nothing but old m5n, women
and children. the Indians claim that they
had made 8 treaty with Crook, by which all
of them. including the hostile bucks still IN
the mountains, were TO be allowed to return
to the reservation. That treaty made, the
sqnsws and old bucks started signal fires and
thirty warriors came in and made
terms with Crook. and then departed
for the mountsius of Mexico to briog 10 the
Remaining hostiles and surrender little Char
ley McComas. Up to date, neither tbs thirty
warriors, nor the hoatiles il the mountains,
nor Charley McComas have been seen or
heard from. TIE people on the border de-
nouDce the Indian policy of the Government,
and assert that discipline on the reservation
would be batter. and the punishment of the
Indians more speedy and effective, if the
Texas Ranger policy We're adopted. They
say Crook had not fit material to SIGHT the In.
dians with and discovered such 10 be the
fact when ne came up with them, and showed
good geheralship in setting out of the noun
tains, as hs had only few soldiers, and his
renegade Indian scouts showed they could
not be relied on to fight the bostiles The
citizens in the immediate vicinity claim that
Crooks expedition is barren of the desired re-
suits and bloodshed, as he never even recov-
cred Charley MeComas or weakened the hos
tiles to the exssnt of single warrior, and
that such treatment OF the Indians only en-
couragsd siEnilsr raids.
