SENATOR DAWES, of Massachusetts,
has written a letter in defense of Agent
McGillicuddy, of Pine Ridge, who has
been assailed by DIR. Bland, of Washing.
ton. Senator Dawes asserts that
DR.. Bland has the confidence
of no one, and that ne is'as wild in his at.
tempts to state facts as he is in his idea
of what is the proper policy toward the
race which he thinks he Is serving. The
charges made by DR.. Bland are not only
old, but have been officially investigated
four times, and by voluntary associations
many times more. Senator
Dawes maintains that the trou-
BILE at Pine Ridge arises from a con.
fict between the new and the old order
of things-between the power of the
chiefs and the power of the law. Red
Cloud, who Is backed up by Bland, is for
the old order Of things, when chiefs
ruled and made themselves rich out of
the Indians. McGillicuddy, however,
pays no more attention to Red Cloud
than he does to any other Indian, and
this, of course. is very annoying to the
ex-chief, who is very dlscontented and
always eager to listen to anyone who is
inclined to stir up trouble. 1t will be
remembered that Red Cloud two years
ago attempted to assert his authority
over Agent McGillicuddy, and 1t was
feared that he would p~recipitate q
massacre of all the whites at the
agency. MoGillicuddy, however, with
his usual nerve, met the issue
aquarely and by his courage and pru.
dence averted the threatened massacre.
The troubled was then officially investi.
gated, and the result was that McGilli-
cudly was exonerated from the charges
made against him by Red Cloud and In
spector Pollock. Red Cloud then called
DIR. Bland to his assistance and Bland in
duced the secretary of war to send out a
third inspector, who also exonerated Nc
Gillicudley from all charges. Then fol.
lowed several independent Investigations
by different persons interested in the In
dams and the result was the same. The
Indian commission itself Wis
tied the agency and returned a
report to the interior department highly
complimentary to the administration of
McGillicuddy. The strong testimony of
Senator Dawes in favor of McGillicrddy
ought to settle the matter 80 far as the
charges of Philanthropist Bland are con-
cerned, but where there is so much smoke
there may after all be some fire. 1t
should, however, be borne in mind, that
30 long as Red Cloud lives there is liable
to be more or less trouble among the
Pine Ridge Indians, because the deposed
chieftain will never neglect an opportu-
nifty to make it interesting for MoGilli-
cuddy. INA

People Who Live On the Railroad.

People Who Live On the Railroads.
There is distinct railroad population
that is constantly growing. 1t is COM
posed of commercial travellers, lecturers,
show agents, actors and actresses, They
eat more meals in hotel cars and rail-
road meal stations than they do at home
or in hotels. They spend more nights
in sleeping-car hunks than in beds. To
q person who travels only occasionally
it is interesting to note how thoroughly
equipped these professional journeyers
are. Upon entering sleeping car early
in the evening, for instance, they re-
move their shoes and put on slippers,
hang their hat up and don silk travel
ing caps, take off their coats and put on
short seek coats or smoking jackets.
In the morning, when the occasional
traveller, obliged to wear the only cloth
ing he has brought, gees to the toilet
compartment in his coat and vest, and
thus struggles in an effort to cleanse his
akin without soaping his sleeves or his
coat collar, these professionals again ex-
cite his envy. They come along all
smiles, having slept well, aud feeling
perfectly ct home. They hang up their
smoking jackets and display snowy white
robes ornamented with colored bidinR
and braid, and capable Of being thrown
open at the neck and rolled nd above
the elbows. From a pocket in the sus-
pended jacket one produces an
ivory brush and costly comb,
tooth brush and perhaps q
nickel-plated soap pbox. Another opens
ont prettily embroidered receptacle,
composed Of many folds, each one q
pocket and each one labeled. In these
pockets are comb, a brush, tooth
brush, shaving brush, soap box, pair Of
razor cases, nail-brush, whisk broom,
hand glass and cologne bottle.
T Their familiarity with the surround
;ings is as noticeable part Of the equip
Smant. A glance out Of the car window
is almost certain to reveal to; them their
whereabouts when they arise or when
they ars waked up, or. are about to 20
|to bed, They carry their time.tAblsa
