Indian DspIieity.
A Standing Rock special says: To-mor-
row is ration day, and the last effort during
the present visit Of the commissioners to get
the Indians 10 sign the black paper viii he
made, and If mot the red printed paper hat
means no. IL is believed by many at the
agency that only the womPa viii come and
receive the ration. This strategy
would avoid another council and an
other fat refusal. Others think a
majority win come in and possibly sigh 1t
is reported that Job Grass has gone TO the

but John viii be disappointed in meetins the
commissioners there next week as well as the
Cheyenne Indians. The commission viii leave
the Rock about the middle Of the week and go
to the Crow Creek agency. where q moreffieBdly
spirit prevails. Ii Is probable the Cros Greek
Indians have been laugh: in some practical
zay that the signing of the treaty, or the
black paper, viii be the best. Indians are
more prastlcahie than some Of the whites
imagine. The Standing Rock Indians do not
want 10 sign no, because IL mhyrlook bad IN
Washington and d~ispleasethe great father or
Gov. Church. who is next to the great father.
Some Of them think that maybe the red pa
Ter hat means no Would become black when
it got TO Washington and it would appear
that they had signed YES The commits
sioneTs are acting under Instructions from
Sesnrtary Villas to give out nothing to the
press that would be unfsvorable TO the plan
Of his campaign. He wanted them to keep
their identity as commissioners a secret until
they got on the reservation. and then keep as
mum as clamS Chairman Pratt IL obey
ing Instructions, and II any ore gets snubh~i
it is not his fault. Villas is running this
commission. The commissioners get $40 o
day and e~xpenses. and they are expected TO
proved cautiously. The chiefs Of an the
ageaeies are in communication with each
other by runners, and q poor bargain for
their people cannot be carried over their
heads by a soft or blunt talk. A trip to
Washington TO see the great father. and
sumo Kind attentions. snth as civilized
diplomats indulge in. would he a great eye
opener To the chiefs, and help negotiations
wonderfully.
