IN INDIAN GRIEYANCE.

The Washing ton correspondent of the New
York World, speaking of RED CLOUDS pro-
tracted visit to the national capital, says the
old chief is conducting a vigorous fight
against the rascally agents who have been
swindling the Indians for a good many
years. He is represented as going at it as If
he understood the way of doing business in
Washington. The correspondent says:
There is no doubt that RED CLOUD has good
cause for his grievances He charges the agent
with having robbed his people and he brings
pretty good evidence to support his charges.
The ways of the Indian agent for taking advan-
tage of the government are many. RED CLOUD s
coming here has developed one new method OF
dishonesty. He says that the agents out there
will buy certain cattle of ring contractors. They
will be branded with the mark of the reservation,
but in such a way as to only burn off the hair
and not burn the skin of the cattle. When the
hair is grown out again the cattle are permitted
to run away aud soon get back into the hands of
the contractor He then sells them over again
TO the government. The United States inspector
appears to have been very accommodating
person. too When the cattle were brought up
for marking he was not permitted to
stand down upon the ground on a level with the
contractor and the agent He was placed at the
second story of window of a building under
which the cattle were driven. He was required
to take this high position so that he could see to
count all of the cattle. But from this window
he could not judge of the quality of the brand
ing. The subject OF Indian grievances, however,
is so old and hackneyed that it is hard for RED
CLOUD to get any one to take very much interest
in him 1t has become such a well-established
fact that Indian agents were created solely for
the purpose of robbing the Indians that only
variations from such well-established precedents
could create any surprise. 1t is probable that
this administration, during its term, will take
steps either to wind up the bureau entirely or to
have it transferred to the war department.
Nothing can be done without the assistance of
congress. There the Western ring people are
strong that it will require very positive force
upon the part of the executive to secure legisla
ton looking to a righting of these enormous
wrongs. The only wonder is that the Indians
do not oftener go on the warpath and that there
are not more outbreaks.

NEW TREASURY bookkeeping.

We fail to see why our Republican con-
temporaries continue to be so much harassed
by the change of form in the monthly debt
statement adopted by Secretary MANNING.
1t does not change the liabilities or assets a
dollar. But it does present the actual condi-
ton of the public finances in clearer light
than heretofore. This plan is attributed to
CONRAD A. JORDAN, cashier of the Third
National bank of New York, who was en-
ployed by Secretary MANNING as an expert to
canvass the relations between the operative
methods of. the treasury department and the
law, including the national balance sheet
published every month. AS we have already
stated under the new plan of making up the
statement, the fractional silver and the
nickel and copper coins in the treasury are
cast out of the reckoning as part of the funds
available to meet demand liabilities; that
$100,000,000 gold shall be set down as
permanent liability of the govern
ment, as greehback redemption
fund, that being the sum acquired by the
treasury in pursuance of law for the purpose
OF resuning specie payments in 1879; that
the Pacific railroad bonds and the interest
thereon shall be counted as part of the public
debt in the same way as any other outstand-
ing bonds; that the greenback held for the
redemption of notes of national banks going
into liquidation or voluntarily retiring their
circulation shall be held strictly as trust
fund, and not be paid out for any purpose
other than that for which they were received
AS matter of course these changes make no
difference in the actual state of the finances,
but they simplify the monthly showing, make
it more easy of comprehension by the multi
tude, aud emphasize the fact that the green
back redemption fund of 500, 900, 900 is not
to be lessened or trenched upon for any other
purpose than that for which it was originally
acquired The old form would show de-
crease for March of S4S3, 747.9S, and the new
form makes an increase of S9,256.1S. The
old form puts the interest bearing debt at
81, 1876, 149, 900, while the new table makes it
81, 276, 730, 614, the increase being caused by
including the Pacific railroad bonds, nearly
Sos, 000, 900.

THE MARKETS.

The stock market was dull yesterday and for
awonder there were but few rumors on the street
calculated to affect the sales. One of these hit
the Northern Pacific quite hard, The report was
that it would not be able to save during the fiscal
year enough to meet its fixed charges, which
caused the stock to become the weakest on the
list. This charge was denied at the office of the
company. The Oregon Railway Navigation
company was very weak on account OF rumor
that the dividend would either be reduced or
passed The Chicago wheat market was little
frner and slight advance is noted. In st. Paul
wheat was dull and nominal, while at Minneapo-
lis il was quite active and moderately firm.

ONE MORE CHANCE FOB HIySEAP.
OTTS

Our sister city across the river doesn't
seems to be badly worked up over its munich
pal election which comes off to-day. In fact
there is too much apathy for good health. A
little excitement in local politics is good
thing, for it srouses people to the gravity Of
the occasion and awakens 3 realization of
what is most needful in the way Of munich
pal reforms. Minneapolis is q very clever
city and deserves q better fate than has
heretofore befaIIen it. The main trouble
with that city in the past has been that it was
under the iomin alton of s Bourbonistic Re
publican government What It needs is 70
fan into the hands OF the live, progressive,
go-aheAd young Democracy, who win Law its
foundations Of prosperity so wide and deep
that in 4 few years the good old town
wouldn't recognize itself. 1t has an oppor-
t1uity 10 DO so to-day. Whether the people
Of Minneapolis will embrace the opportunity
to start forward in : career of prosperity and
greatness or whether they viii continue to be
governed BY their idols and remain in q
condition Of inertueSs, will be developed BY
to-day's election.

Northern Pacific Fut,ere p1a,,s.

Inc Northern Pacific will commence work
on the completion of the Pokegama branch
as soon as figures for doing the frost work in
grading can be obtained. Three miles of
grading have already been done satisfac-
torily, but, owing to the fact that the com
pany is anxious to commence operations
Immediately, it is necessary for them to re-
ceiye bids for doing the work while the
frost is yet in the ground. Work will also
be commenced at once on union depot at
West Superior, from which all passenger
trains running to the head OF the lake will
depart. AS soon as this work is completed
the Northern Pacific trains from Brainerd
will run this side of the st. Louis river to
West Superior via the Pokegama branch, and
thence down the long trestle to Superior, and
thence to Ashland.
