and Several Tragedies.

FARGO, d. T.. Feb. 5.-An Argus
special from Standing Rock Indian agen-
cy states that by the recent death OF
Young Antelope, Stanley Huntley, a
newspaper man, who at one time was con-
nected with the Dakota Press, and now in
New York, becomes chief of the Teton
Nation. The manner in which Huntley
became chief of all the Sioux tribes reads
like a fable Years ago. before Sitting
Bull surrendered, Huntley was sent by a
Chicago paper to northern Montana to
interview the warrior. Tired of securing
the plains, he crossed the border and be-
came the guest of Maj. Walsh, in north
western British possessions. Here, en-
camped around the majors post, we're the
old men and squaws, among whom were
Little Knife, hereditary chieftain
Of the Tetons, who was too old
for war and buffalo trails. Little Knife
injured his limb in ~dismounting from his
pony aud the medicine men failed to give
him any relief and the old chief was given
up to die. Huntley appeared on the
scene, and with a newspaper mans extern
sive knowledge, bound the wound with
leaves and oil and the old chief recovered.
Huntley was her adopted, and last fall,
when Sitting Bull and troupe were East
an adopted sister of Huntley's was with
them and recognized Huntley. Little
Knife had two sons, Mountain Bull and
Young Antelope. The former was killed
some time ago, and now by Antelope's
death Huntley becomes chief, as a male
relation by adoption is as strong as though
a blood relation among the Indians.
Huntley's Indian name is Waukpey Wan
kan or Holy Leaf.

In sense every day is the beginning of
IL new year. At amy moment the past is
rs mush past as it is ON the first day of
January. and the future is as much the
opportunity for better living. But it is
nevertheless true that the arbitrary and ac-
Ccptrd division of one period of days from
another has more apparent significance
and makes Il deeper impression than the
ordinary instant between what is done and
what is to come. The mind turns more
willingly at the end of the calendar year
to review the past and looks forth more
seriously upon the mystery Of unliVcd
days. The date 1855 il It visible distin-
guishable symbol, By whicha certain space
Of time is differentiated from all the rest.
and as we write it for the first time it is
well to reflect upon the successes and fail
urcs of the past and take counsel with our
souls concerning the uncertain remainder
of Ourdays It's common 10 make Il joke of
New Years resolutions but we imagine
they are rather more likely to be kept than
those made at other times. No one of us
all has got through the year Just closed
without plumbers and errors, and collect
lively the American people have not been
infallibly wise in their actions. But let us
hope and believe that il is true of us all as
individuals, that this year will find us IL
little stronger "A little clearer in our per
ceptiOns of right and wrong, II little iirmcr
in our trudging after duty. and little
nearer the goal of sclf-rcspect-than we
were tWelVe-mouth agonc. And let us
hope, too, that to us all, the New Year
will bring fresh vigOr for life's honest
work, II broader and better conception of
the part we ought to play in it, and more
to miss or disdain their proper parts And
so, a year older itself, and. we wish we
could with confidence add year wiser,

Mr., ClcycIand's Letter

on the Civil Service law, has naturally
made strong sensation, and the news
papers are full of interviews and express
ions of pr )minent men in regard to it. 1t
is noticeable circumstance that the SEN
timents expressed by Mr.. Cleveland are
approved by many men of widely differ
ent views upon the subject Thus Mr.
Dorman b, Eaton, who would undoubt-
eddy he glad to have the great mass Of
honest and efficient Republican officials
retained in the public service, is highly
gratilied, and Mr.. Hendricks, who is on
record rs declaring that the heads of at
| least 4 huHdrcd Thousand Republican
otliccholders should at once drop INTO the
basket in order that as many good Demo
Gratis may take their places, is also highly
pleased with the letter. If these two men
can be suited with Mr.. Cleycland's posi-
ton, there is no reason why everybody
should not be. Yet it is obvious that
everybody cannot be suited when Mr.
Clevcland'S words come TO be INTERPRETED
by his actions, Somebody is sure to be
disappointed. The Democracy will howl.
if the "Spoils' do not 90 to the Nictors
after the old fashion, and the civil service
reiormcrs cannot approve any treatment
of the offices H. spOils, to be distributed
among The Victorious Democracy. Inter
prctiug MIR. Clcyeland's words and pur-
poses according to their own desires. men
Of each ot these classes are now agreed
in appauding his letter But both cannot
applaud forever.

could know litlle better inst what to cN-

Inst cumpdigu aud who are not ready to
turn their coats with the change of AID

We are willing to credit Mr. Cleveland
with honest intentions, and to hope that
something may he gained, or at least held,

resistance to party pressure are lie Is n

Perhaps the sweep, in the Offices, will not
be as sudden as heretofore. Oflice hold
crs, not "oiTcnsivc." whose term. are
nearly ont, will perhaps be allowed to re
tain their places till the expiration Of their
terms. y few specially valuable public

But as rule, Mr.. Clcvcland's selections
for office will doubtless he made from the
Democratic ranks. Two years hence the
great mass of the Offices will probably be
in Democratic hands. If Mr.. Cleveland
does anything better than this. we shall
be glad and he shall have all the praise
for his independence. But he mus, be
judged by his acts rather than his words.
The former have yet to come.
