by the principal Indian chiefs, Gall Mad
Bear and John Grass, who represented their
people at Standing Rock, and Red Cloud,
who was their spokesman at Pine Ridge.
These semi-civilized savages objected to the
amount which the Government is willing to
pay for the land wanted-ffty cents an acre
and referred ironically to the fact that
Uncle Sam would sell it to settlers at lbs
say the least All through the conference
the Indian chiefs displayed diplomatic cum
nlng and tact which was more than match
for the Government Commissioners, who
frequently lost their temper. At the clos
ing conference at Standing Rock John
Grass made pointed speech in which he
called upon those of the people willing to
sign "No," when not an Indian arose.
When he called for those who would sign
Eyes" every man remained motionless on
the ground; bat when he asked those who
would sign neither paper to rise, every
man present arose with cheers and whoops
and yells. He then, amid much applause
4 from the Indians, informed the Commission
ers that the Indians would sign neither
paper, and that they would now return to
their farms, regardless of what the Com
missioners might do or say.
As the bill, as it now stands, requires the
signatures of three-fourths of the Indians
an order to become law, and the sigma
lures must be obtained before April 80, 1885,
1T becomes necessary to do great deal of
missionary work among the Indians who
at the present time are under the absolute
control of their Chiefs; and the plan sug-
gested by an Indian agent to bring the In
dams to the agency one or two at time
and then get thsir signatures seems to be
the only feasible way of opening eleven
million acres Of the most fertile soil to pub
lie settlement. [Since this article was writ
ten, this mode of procedure has been adopt
ed with considerable success, hundreds Of
Indians having signed the treaty at the var
ious agencies.-ED.l
