The Indian Conferences.

CHICAGO, August "A dispatch
from Standing Rock says, from the
developments Sunday it was believed
that the conference between the COM
missioners and Indians would be
closed yesterday. but the commission
ers averted defeat by refusing to
confer before Wednesday. In
the meantime Agent McLaugh-
lin, who has considerable influence
with the Indians will work night and
day in camp and at the agency to con-
vert the red skins. The sensational
news that has been received in the
camp was brought by four Indians
who were sent to the lower agencies
to ascertain the feeling among the red
skins and to report their desires. The
Indians all gathered in council to
hear the report, which was to the eff
feet that the Indians of the lower
agencies have decided to sign neither
an affirmative nor negative paper.

Settling the Insurgents.

LIBERAL, Kas., August THE
troops sent out by Gov. Martin to re-
store order in Stevens county, disarm
the war faring inhabitants of Woods
dale, Hugoton, and assist in the arrest
of the murderers of Sheriff Cross, and
his three deputies, arrived at Hugo
ton on Saturday evening. After the
troops were drawn up in lines around
the court house square, General My
ers, commander of the militia, had
the proclamation of the governor
read to the assembled citizens, and
then the soldiers were ordered to dis
arm the inhabitants of the town.
The latter part of the proceeding was
not very successful, as news of the
coming of the troops had reached
town before their arrival, and in con-
sequence very few arms could be
found. The same pacifying measures
were taken by the troops today at
Woodsdale, and with about the same
results.

vicinity some time ago, has com

THE International Fair and Expo
sition has nothing to do with the
Riverside park and the sale of its
lands to the Improvement company,
pursuing it's work steadily and pay
ing strict attention to its own business,
as recently recorded, has nothing
whatever to do with the stockholders
of the Fair company. The Fair is
preparing for the greatest exhibit of
Texas and Mexican products ever
brought together. Those who have
confouuded the Fair with the park
can disabuse their minds of any con-
nection between them. The park is
destined to be a big thing for San
Antonio, but it is only fair to the Fair
folks that fair understanding should
be had. The LIGHT has been asked
concerning this matter and this is the
answer.

THE prohibition candidates for
presidential and vice-presidential
honors formally accept the nomina-
tons rendered them, affirming that
there is but one way for them to sue
coed in pushing their peculiar views
before the people and making them
successful, and that is by gaining
possession of the national government.
Every republican who casts a prohi-
bition ballot for president or vice
president this year, virtually casts
that ballot for Cleveland. OF this fact
let wise men take due notice and gov
ern themselves accordingly. Some
of the strongest prohibitionists in this
city, Col. r. M. Moore among them, is
decidedly opposed to any prohibition
candidate for presidency and regards
the movement as most inopportune
and unwise. Thousands of staunch
prohibitionists who will vote for pro-
hibitiOn congressman and members
of state legislatures will vote the
straight national ticket There is no
sense ia any other course.

SHERIDAN MUSTERED OUT.

The death of gallant Phil Sheridan,
the cavalry leader par excellence of
the late war, the man who ranks next
to Grant and Sherman in that bright
galaxy of distinguished soldiers who
fought and won the battles of the
union against the disunionists who
had banded to destroy this nation
and make the very name republic" a
kissing and a by-word among the
monarchies of earth-the death of this
man, one of the aforementioned trio
who led the armies of the nation to
the final and fatal assault and over
throw of treason, this death, casts a
gloom over the heart of the nation
which so recently mourned the loss of
his great chief, the immortal Ulysses
s. Grant. Sheridan is dead. The flags
of his country are half-masted, and
these outer and visible signs of peo-
pies grief are but the tokens of that
inward and unseen sorrow which
pervades all hearts, as the
deep meaning of this death is
forced upon the public conscious
ness. Grant is gone; and now, Sheri-
dan follows, swelling the glory roll of
our illustrious dead who, sleeping
their last sleep, having fought the
last battle, shall never awaken to
glory again. Peace to their ashes,
honor to their memories, gratitude for
their services. These all live in the
heart of the republic. A nations condo
lence, so far as human sympathy may,
will lay its hand Of healing upon this
open wound of a deep personal afflic-
ton, and in it the bereaved wife and
children will find what comfort it may
afford. May the hand of infinite heal
ing pour balm into those wounded
spirits, is the prayer that rises from a
million hearts, all over this grieving
land, this day.

MUST ACCEPT THE INEVITABLE.
The Paris News wants Fort Worth to
"quit It's foolIshness" and join with that
enterprising young city in an effort to
build an extension OF the Frisco from
Paris to Fort Worth. The News more
over says THE GAzETTE's opposition to
such line is the result OF narrow mind
edness and jealousy. The truth is, how
ever, that The GAZETTE would like to
have cannon ball route from Fort Worth
to the capital of Lamar county-yes, right
up to the News door, but there are high
er powers than THE GAZETTE, and they,
and not THE GAZETTE, decree where
railroad lines are to be located. THE
GAZETTE does not build railroads, but
reports their building. Fort Worth may
be little jealous OF Paris, but only on &C.
count of the possession of Editor Gaines
by that city, and as for narrow minded
ness, the mind of the average Fort
Worthite is as broad as the bounding
ocean.

THE NEW ORLEANS SHOOTING.
The tragedy that occurred in New Or
leans, growing out Of the gubernatorial
contest, while to be deplored, will be Of
great benefit 70 the Crescent City. The
atmosphere will be purer and clearer, and
the vicious ward boss will be lees ag-
gressive than formerly. Those unfortu-
nate men who were killed were kings, and
ruled with an iron hand. They controlled
votes, and votes mean the governing
power OF the country. Thousands OF men
who imagined themselves free were owned
body and soul by these bosses, and they
were sent regularly to the polls and voted
IS the bosses directed. Until some one
else comes in and assumes sway, these
voters will have season Of freedom,
where they can taste the luscious Joy of
voting their OWN sentiments. The policy
of New Orleans should be followed by
other cities that are troubled with similsr
misfortuues. They commenced the work
of killing of the ward bosses Of New
Orleans some years ago, and they have
put period to the pernicious activity OF
many CT them.

TARIFF REFORM.

In letter to the Massachusetts Reform
League George William Curtis, Prince of
Mugwumps, says: "The message OF the
President is 3 document addressed to the
intelligence and common sense of the
country. II has been read and pondered
with s care and interest which 1 doubt il
any previous message has ever aroused.
Especially among the farmers, who COM
pose the great unprotected interest Of
American labor, it will be weighed and
measured, word by word, and am very
sure that the President has sown CONT
mental field of winter whest of which the
ne xt years crop will show that no grain
was lost" Mr.. Curtis is one Of the fore
most men in the nation, and his observa-
tons upon the all-sbsorbing question OF
the tariff are entitled to great weight.
He realizes, as do all thinking men, that
the people Of this country have suffered
long enough and are determined to Sc
cure relief. The farmers of the country
are tired OF paying tribute to special in
dustries and are clsmoring for charge.
Tariff reform must be the watchword of
the present.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY DEALERS.
Every few days some one is discovered
to have been victimized by dealers in
counterfeit money or "green goods"
dealers IS they are called. Scarcely a
week passes in New York but some
would-be wealthy man comes to grief. A
few days ago three citizens from North
Carolina were discovered in New York,
in the hands of these sharpers, and were
saved only by the interference Of
detectives. 1t is most wonderful with
what ease these rascsls can secure
victims and to what lengths men will go
to make money dishonesty. Men who
stand hign in communities where they
live, business men, professional men,
church members and all sorts of people
allow themselves to be drawn in and
feeced by these shsrpers. The dealer in
counterfeit money Is criminal and should
be punished severely, but his victim is
slways equally vicious and criminal with
out the rogue's m crit of superior intelli-
gence. The man who goes to N5w York
to purchase counterfeit money is equslly
culpable with the one who sells it. There
are many men who do not regard the
passing OF counterfeit money as a crime,
but the law mskes the passing of it e
crime and crime it is. Those woo are
taken in and swindled deserve no better
fate.

FOAT WORTH, TEX, Jan, 2, 1855.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
While absent from the city recently in q dis
tant portion of the state, I was frequently asked
how Fort Worth expected to expend the stu
pendous amount of 100000 upon the stock
yards. WAS not BILE to explain this with sat
ietaction to myself. Necessary grounds, officee,
pens and fencing must be secured, but $200, goo
is vast .um, and for what 1t Is all to be ex
pended am not precisely able to determine.
VIII you be kind enough to explain to good
number of the friends and patrons of THE GA.
ZETTE for what 1t is expected to disburse this
vast cum of money: Very respectfully.
ENQUIRER.
The yards were capitalized at sum
suficlentto permit the purchase Of nearly
two hundred acres Of land, and that only
small percentage might be called in un-
til the necessity arose for the construc-
ton OF belt line to connect with all the
railroads.
