Washington, Jan. 30-Secretary La
mar is convinced that what is known as
the ''theft of the ponies" was an outrage
on Red Cloud. the Sioux chief, and the
bands of Red Leaf Sioux. Under the ad-
vice OF Dol. Manypenny and Dr.. Bland
who are staunch friends of Red Cloud
Indian Commissioner Atkln and the
secretary have decided to urge an ap-
propriasicu this winter to pay the Sioux
Tor their ponies. Col. Manypenny says
that he had ample opportunity to see
the herds, and that while
the Indians were proyerbial fol
having good ponies, the herd OF
Red Cloud and Red Leaf were equal to
the best, and he thinks they were worth
$40 per head. Tie department hal

Aberdeen is openly showing its hand
against the division of Dakota on the
forty-sixth parallel, and against admis-
sion. Aberdeen is doing this for the in
tensely selfish purpose of securing for
itself the seat of government of a state
shaped to conform to Its views. The
move is not one exhibiting much politi.
cal sagaciry. The people of the state
will have voice in the location of the
capital and they certainly will not be
induced to favor the pretensions of d
community which antagonizes then
dearest interests.

)n Monday the Dawes bill proyi

On Monday the Dawes bill providing
for the cession of q portion
OF the great Sioux reser-
walton in Dakota passed the senate. 1t
is said the same bill will pass the house
without obstruction. After ten years OF
incessant labor in behalf of the opening
of the Sioux reservation there is now o
good prospect thai portion of it will
be tarned over to cultivation. In 1876 a
slice was taken from the western side OF
the reservation, including in its limits
the Black Hills country. This action
was forced upon congress by the
discovery of gold in the Hills
and rush OF immigration which could
not be stayed by the military power oi
the government. The concession had to
| come or an Indian war would have been
the result. From then until now the
force shave been steadily at work to &C
oomplish the cession OF another sl;ce o.
Indian country, and Dakota is near the
end OF its iabors in behalf of this object
The siege upon congress and the coun
| try has been long and tedious.

question, but there 10 little doubt that
Red Cloud was pursuing Q coarse that
justified the seizure, and it is question
whether, if this appropriation il passed,
any good will follow from it. The gov
ernment never got much for the ponies.
Three hundred OF them were taken by
Gen. Crook and given to his Pawnee
scouts. The rest were sold at nominal
prices. Tho indemnity has been recon.
mended in various ways by the Sioux
commission, bysU Commissioner Price and

There are number Of anecdotes in

Carpenter lay dying he showed s,milar
nerve. a few hours before his death he
was seized with violent spasm and
asked the doctor what it was. tits the

One of the amusing developments of
the situation in Dakota is the statement
that Maris Taylor is not to be confirmed
because of his long connection with the
Yankton ring. The traditions of the
past, existing in the highways and by
ways of prehistoric Dakota, inform us
that the suppositious Yankton ring was
a republican ring, though existing
largely in the imaeinations of old set
tlers who are now the chief ornaments
of thes Ordway combination. At any
rate, in its putatiye existence,
lit was confined to republicans
exclusively and Mr.. Taylor was fer
many years the Don Quixote who ham
mered away with his lance at the unsts.

sufficiently for him to stick point into 0

Congressman Struble, ofs.Iowa, says
Hthe Dakota question will undoubtedly
become national issue il the Harrison
bill dividing the territory and admit
ting the southern half to statehood is
defeated This is the drift OF public
sentiment and that sentiment will force
the Issue upon the democratic party il
compelled by the necessity which de.
feat of the Harrison measure will es-
tablish. Mr.. Struble, p ursuing the sub.
iect, said:
You see, the injustice to those people
would be Sc palpable that it would have
an influence everywhere against the
party committing it. To refuse admis'
sion to statehood on purely political
grounds-and it cannot be any other
is outrageous. No territory ever cam,
into the union with anything like thu
qualifications Dakota has. To my mind
| wa don't want anything better for ma
tional issue, if the bill ls defeated, thai
the Dakota outrage.
This is the voice OF the republical
side of the house Of representatives AM
and it will find an echo in the republi
can eide of the senate.

An Aberdeen correspondent of the
Sioux City journal states that the city
council of Aberdeen gave to G. I. Mccoy
two hundred and fifty dollars and sent
him to Washington to aid the Ordway-
Boynton combination in its efforts to
defeat this admission of south Dakota
That Mccoy should have accepted such
mission will doubtless be surprise tc
his south Dakota democratic hackers
who aided him in his effort to secure
Aberdeen iaud Office at time when
Ordwsy was using his best efforts to de.
feat his nomination. Strange things
happen in these degenerate days.

One of Senator Vests luminous points
against statehood was that the people of
Dakota we're whisky loving people
that the ardent was more of necessity
to them than bread and salt. Tits from
Missouri statesman would not be q
very weighty argument in the eyes of
his own constituents, but in this as in
all other matters pertaining to Dakota's
condition, Senator Vest exhibits an in
consistency born of gross ignorance of
the subject under discussion. He probs
ably does not know that the constltu-
ton nnder which Dakota seeks admis-
sion prohibits the manufacture, sale or
use of whisky, or OF any other Intoxicating
beverages, and that this clause in the
constitution was separately adopted by
a majority of the votes of those people
to whom he attributes an inordlnate love
of alcoholic drinks.
