Letter from an indian Girl.
FROM the New York Sun.


To the Editor of the Sun.-The
Sun of Oct. Is contains an article,
copied from The Milwaukee Sentinel,
in which one ignorant of the Indian
territory would be led to believe that
we are race of people inferior to
the whites. 1t seems as though we
are to be target as long as this
country remains as it is. Some one
ought to come down to see how we
live and how the Indians reverence"
the whites who are flooding the
country. / think he would find it
nearly as it was in the days of
slavery, for the class of whites who
fill the soil here are nothing more
than the Indians servants. The
Sentinel says:
By marrying an Indian maiden white man
secures an the rights OF citizenship.
That is so. But it does not stop
at that.
The head right of the girl helps the matrl-
mOual contract.
Ibaye lived in the Indian territory
most of my life, and can say | never
heard of that before. 1t further says:
The encouragement given to whites on the
part "i marriageable lDdian females is quite
observable.
This is untrue. Show me the
Indian girl who will, like their pale
sisters, answer an advertisement Of
some unknown man. How many
times do the Indians do this? Not
once that ! ever heard or read about.
Where is the Indian girl that will
leave her home to hunt and marry
some unknown white man? You
may looE the Indian territory over
and not find her. But conversely,
quite often do white women come to
TINS country, and know not who they
are coming 70 see only 10y name aud
address, lon hopes Of marrying an
Indian. And quite frequently they
are served as they deserve. They
tHne they are coming 20 grand
place. where they win be rulers Of
fashion and social life. They are
mistaken.
lN Indians, as rule, respect
..er own girls much more than they
An. ..e whites, and not 50 much

Those large boxes that have been
unloading for days past in front of

means that that lady has been east

turned completely furnished with
the newest styles of hats, bonnets,
ribbons, flowers, feathers, etc, and
which (having bought for cash) will

The YeIIOWs tone Park.

The Secretary of the Interior has
received the report of Snperinten-
dent Wear, Of the Yellowstone
National Park, upon his conduct of
affairs since taking charge of the
park on July l last He says he
found a lack of discipline among
the employees, and that hunters were
killing game. These things have
been remedied, and the park is no W
full of game of all kind, including
about two hundred head of bison,
large numbers of elk, and several
bands of antelope About sixteen
miles of good road to the leading
attractions have been built. The
Superintendent says the hotel ac,
commodations are not what they
should be for the prices charged,
and he recommends that someone
be authorized to see that there is
something like an equivalent given
the patrons. The police affairs also
need regulating, and the establish
ment Of a special court TO try park
cases is recommended. He asks for
an appropriation of $4,000 for
next year.- Chicago JouTBaI

as the greenbaCk-labor nominee.
Last year, Blaine had a plurality OF
