with the fact lhRt he appeared in no hurry
10 save himself wss possibly tho cause
why more OF the paasengero were not

saw him so cool the danger was
not SO great, snd, moreover, the sea wa3 so

were safely launched, two we're smashed

nothing, but believed they were washed

"In reference to the electoral commits.
sion, General, what truth is there in the
stories that you had massed troops in
the Capitol at Washington with view to
preventing any attempt to to inaugurate
Tlden ?"
"None. There were no troops massed
there at all. I intended to maintain peace
ut all hazards and proposed to see install
ed in the presidential chair the man Con.
gress declared elected, whether Tilden or
Hayes. I had no desire or power to intlu.
ence the question OF deciding who the
people elected to the Presidency. That was
a matter entirely with Congress. It is
true, I had directed Gen. Sherman TO have
bis troops in Baltimore and other points
near Washington go they could be brought
there on telegraphic notice in case of riot
or disturbance, but this step was not in
benefit OF either political party nor either
candidate for the Presidency"

In all parts of the northwest the
wall regarding unfed Indians is heard
and their depredations have given
just cause for loud complaint. The
Black Hills Times i'm reference
to this important subject says:
IAN irresponsible conflict has for
years been forced Upon frontiersmen
by the idiotic Indian policy adopted
by the department and sanctioned bv
Congress, and ut no time to the
greater jeopardy Of the best interests
of whites and of the nation without
compensating results to any one, not
excepting the reds, than at present.
A map Of the northwest shows curl
Gus combination of light and shadow,
the latter representing Indian re-
serves extending almost entirely
around an open country presumably
held for the sole use and occupancy of
American citizens. That the fertile
and valuable tract should be disfigured
by so many areas practically sealed to
unproductiveness, Is bad enough, but
that II should be maintained as a
haunt from whence excursions of
thieving, rei-skinned and red-handed
rascals proceed upon frequent depre-
dations among the vast herds of cattle
and stock generally belonging to
peaceable whites, Is a circumstance
disgraceiu! and outrageous In the ex-
IRENE. The department and officials
cannet reasonably claim ignorance of
the situation inasmuch as the public
press necessarily teens with reports
of Indian misdeeds, and, In addition,
statements, protests and appeals are
daily submitted to those In authority,
from whom relief Is reasonably ex-
pected, but from whom relief never
comes. Rather, the department
seems disposed to encourage and force
the reds from the reserve. for they not
only grant passes unstintedly, but re-
sort to the starving process, and hav-
ing accomplished the removal Of the
wards, refuse to invite or compel
them to return. A report ut hand
represents that Indians at certain
agencies, had long ago drawn all the
rations they are entitled to up to some
time In August. They are therefore
left to rustic for themselves during the
summer months. and their situation
IL expressively summed up In the pro-
posed Dakota motto Fear God; and
take your own part'-with particular
attention to the latter. This they are
doing us attested by the slaughter Of
tine innocents calves now and for
long time under way throughout the
northwest, regardless of property
rights, and the wishes Of Others.
Congress has been petitioned to open
the reserves, to maintain safe high
ways across the great tracts; to permit
the establishment of stock yards and
corrals upon Indian land; to protect
whites in the peaceable enjoyment Of
property; to confine nomadic bands to
their own territory; to concede the
whites few rights that red Sound.
-els shall respect. but all to no pur-
pose. Whatever is for the welfare Of
the Indian Is granted; whatever Is for
the best interest Of the whites Is de-
MED. Forbearance has almost ceased
to be virtue; self protection will soon
be resorted to-"
