Attack on the White Settlers Feared.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-A dispatch from the Pine Ridge AgencY, Dak. says: Four or five days ago a band of Sioux Indians made formal request of Agent Gallagher that they be allowed to at tend dance of the Cheyennes on Ton que river. Surmising that they would make an attack on the whites along the Tongue and Powder rivers, the agent refused to allow the reds to leafe the reservation. This morning 1t was dis covered that large band of the Sioux Indians had started for the home of the Cheyennes, in defiance of the ob- jeetions interposed, leaving word that they had got through obeying the or ders of the officers at Pine Ridge, and that, in future, they intended to go when they pleased and stay as long as they pleased.
 This state of affairs was telegraphed to Gen. Ruger, wno at once wired Fort Custer to send out troops to intercept the reds This afternoon Col. Nathan M. Dudley sent Ill pursuit two compa- nies of the first cavalry, under Mai. John NJ Hamilton and First Lieuten- ant R. P. P. Wainwright. The mill- tary arc expecting tn overtake the h. dians tomorrow when desperate bat tie is likely to ensue. because the reds are exceedingly angry and reported armed to the teeth.

GENERAL HARRISON.
Robbed Of His Front Fence by Relic
 Fiends.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 20.-General Harrlson passed hls 55th annivers- ary in quiet way. The morning was given up to his correspondence and the reception of an occasional caller. This afternooa the weather cleared up and the General spent q couple of hours al his law office and paying friendly visits. Among his callers today was Congressman Owen, of the Logansport district. Tomorrow General and Mrs. liar. rison, accompanied by Judge Woods and wife, will leave for Toledo en- route to Middle Bass island. Prior to the Chicago convention Gen. Harrisoh's front lawn was covered with growing grass and the wooden picket fence enclosing hls residence on Delaware street was q model of beauty, but politics has sadly altered the appearance of the premises. The grass IS worn off, leaving the earth exposed and the picket fence has piece by peace dis appeared.
 Among the travellng men who visited the General last night was . New York drummer, who at some previous visit had helped himself 10 one of the heavy two inch poplar fence plckets, which he proudly ex- hlblted to General and Mrs. Harri- son in the form of a handsomely turned and polished walking stick. The idea took with the thousand or more brother drummers and that night the General suffered the loss of many pickets. The sound ones were carefully cuIled. As the Gen eral gazed on the few remaining p!ckets thls morning and saw the lonely gate intact he ordered tho remaining fragments 10 be taken down and used for klndlipg wood.

PLAIN FACTS FOR IRISH.AMERI
 CANS,

A live newspaper like The Cath ollie News cannot. remain indifferent or silent regarding events that ac. lively and deeply interest the whole people; nor ignore vital questions whose settlement must affect the maternal concerns of the country, reaching 10 the hearth stone of majority of tho people. To be independent does not mean to be negative, but to be free to choose the best and to support what is the best. The present poi itlcal campaign IS recognized as the most important, perhaps, in the whole history of the Republic The slavery question even was on, ly q sectional one; the question to be fought out Tn the approaching campaign is a wider and more sub stantial one and has no geographi cal limits save those that bound oar generous oxpanse of territory.
 Such being the case, The Catho. llc News in the performance of its duty to its constituents, feels com pelled to exercise it's best judgm ent to help it's readers, who include the leading Catholic and Irish-Ameri- can citizens throughout the whole Union, to form q correct opinion as to their obligations to themselves and to the country.
 We refrained from declaring a premature judgment, although the advance skirmish of the Republi- can party condemned itself by its false crles and dishonest methods But now that Mr. Blaine. the recognized leader and ia fact the officially declarea "uncrowned king" of the Republican party, has

And 1t Game to Pass,

And il came to pass that there dwelleth in the tar north good la- borer named Streeter. He heareth hls brother, Norwood, cry unto him for aid, and he goeth out, girdeth up his loins, and getteth him bot tle of cholera medicine, and straight way goeth down to the land of Ar kansaw, whore his one legged brother doth stump.

into the army of radicals, whereof Pokahjak was first tleutenant. Now Pokahial< was like uuto Q "slick ar tlst," and in the councils of tho ungodly he stood high. But Street CT was a good man, and was sore afraid when he found that the un. godly had gotten his brothers men, which we're numbered twenty and one hundred mon, mixed up with the ungodly. But they promised him shekels, and Pokahjak tell eth him funny story, snd did ma ke him like unto a radical himself. He goeth out to get recruits, but another tribe that Ioveth the Lord and dd walk uprightly, had all the recruits, and they pelt him with laughter and jokes, and he was sick. Now It was come to pass that on a certain day the tribe that did fear the Lord, and they were called Democrats, gave the radicals battle, and smote them hip, thigh and jaw-bone. And It also came to pass that Pokahjak hustleth to the rear and Streeter was alone on the field of battle. Now the Demoer.ts putteth up good fight and smack eth him right and left and victory percheth on their brnner. And when the night had come near and the radicals had withdrawn in unte their holes, he sltteth up in the field and erieth in a loud voice, with tears falling from his nose, sI am a chump,0 and Straigntway goeth hence.

Hon. SamneI ". Peel.

The Kansas City Times ln giving biographical sketches of various prominent Congressman, says of Col. Samuel N. Peel of Arkansas:
 Samuel W. Peel of Rentonvtlle, was born in Independence county, Arkansas, September 13, 1882, re- eeiyed q common school educ ucation; was elected clerk of the Circuit Court of Carroll county, Arkansas, in 1858, and again in 1860; entered tho confederate service in 1S61 as private, and was elected Major of the Third Arkansas infantry (state troops); entered the confederate service Tn 1862 as private, and was elected colonel of the Fourth rcglment Arkansas infantry; at the close of the war ae commenced the practice of law in the state courts; was appointed prosecuting attorney of the Fourth judicial circuit of Ar kansas in 1873: upon the adoption of the new constitution in 1874, was elected to the samo place; was elected to the Forth-oighth and For ty-ninth Congresses, and was re- elected to the Fiftleth Congress as q Democrat, receiving 4,746 votes. No opposition.
 As will be perceived by the fore going biography MT. Peel came to the Forty-eighth Congress wit bout previous legislative experience, but no member of the house has attained more eminent or more deserved reputation Tn all the clements of usefulness and capacity as nation al law maker. Mr. Peel was as- signed by Speaker Carlisle at the Forty-elghth Congress to the com mittee on "Indan affairs" and ''mil- it;a," and in tho consideration of the important matters appertaining to the Indian tribes became much valued member of the first named committee. His earnestness, lntcl- | ligence and faithfulhess as com mitteeman soon brought him into notice and before tho Forty.efghth Congress had expired, he had won enviable distinction on the floor as clear concIse and fair debatar, well poised and capable of maln- tainiDg himself with more than or dinary credit in any discussion.
 The Congressional retirement of Messrs. Alexander Graves of Mis- souri and Robert 5. Stevens ofNew York, who were Mr. Pecl's seniors as members of the "Indian affairs" committee, made him second in rank at the Forth-ninth Congress to Mir. Wellboru of Texas who was It's chairman at the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth, and had likewise been a member of the committee at the Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Con gresses. Under .he lead of a gen ileman like Mr. Welworth, whose

4 Notable Convert.

Marshal Field, the head of the great Chicago mercantile house of Field, Lieter < Co.,, has been Tn Bos- ton, and he talked politics while here. Mr. Field is lifelong Re publican, and ho is also s protec- tionist, but, to the surprise of some Republicans who interviewed him, he expressed an intention this year of voting for Cleveland. He does this on the ground that President CleyeIands's administration in its policy on the tariff question, is dis tinctly on the side of the business interests of the country. Xr. Field says that there Is no free trade at all to be apprehended from if, but tbat there IS just that wise and mod crate reduction of the rate of duties which is needed st thIs juncturs, and winch must be had if the Nation is to escape serious difficulties. He tkiuks the Republicans have made a great mistake in al wing the Dem ocrats to take the lead of them in re- formation on this point. -Boston Herald.
The Springdale news., 1888-08-24

J mittee on Indian affairs had youch- safed the widest experience in cog nate matters, It Is not matter for wonder tbat Mr. Peel became an apt scholar, and mastered the diff culties which have always enyelop- ed the proper consideration and dis position oflegislation for the ad- vaneement and benefit of the Indian tribes.
 Mr. Wellborn declining re-elec- ton to the Fiftleth congress, Speak CT Carlisle wisely advanced Mir. Peel to tbe chajrmanship of the In- dian affairs committee, retiring him from the committee on militia and transferring him to the committee on election ofpresident and vice. president. During the present congress, Mr. Peel's conduct of the chairmanshIp of the Indian affairs committee has not alone vindicated the preference shown him by Mr. Carlisle, but evoked the universal commendation of bis colleagues without distinction of party. 1t is admitted on all sides that Mr. Peel has falriy won his way to merted distinction, and IS entitled to all the honors which his open, manly, e0nsiderate and faithful service bring him.
 Mr. Peel is not much given to overindulgence in talk, but when he speaks on any question he com mahds the undivided attention of the house. In fact, he exerts quiet but no less potent influence with. outapparent realization ofthe fact. While he bears himself With be coming modesty and has no habits of obtruslon, he rarely fails of re- cognition t~ the speaker when he desires to take the floor. His views are repeeted because ofthoir libera- lity and fairness and his lnvariable courtesy renders hlm universally popular. Although q stIict party man ill fidelity to the Democratic principles, he exacts no more good faith for himself than he is willing to yield to his political adveIsar- ies.
 Mr. Peel is above the average height, of strong and sturdy build, weighing possibly over 200 pounds. He is of an extremely soclal turn and his disposition IS gentle as a women. He always has kind an- swer for all who Interrogate him and rarely allows anything within the ordinary happenings of life to meddla with his equanlmity. Like most mon of that disposition, how ever, he is a llon when set up and aroused. He IS ever ready to aid hls friends and vastly prefers doing klndnesses for others than requir- ing them for himself. His constitu- ents arc faithfully and ably repres- ented in Mr. Peels person and the country has no better nor more jealous and efficient representative in the legislative branch of hot gov ernment.

WASHINGTON. d. c., February 23.-The
national democratic committee met this
morning at 10 o'clock in secret session to
continue balloting for the selection of the
city in which the democratic convention
shall be held.
Mr.. Scott voted that the pending business
be suspended 30 that motion might be
made to reconsider the vote by which the Sd
of July had been decided upon as the date
for holding the convention. This was lost
by vote of % to "a, but another effort was
made to change the date.
After the first ballot there was recess
taken, but before the result was announced,
Mr.. Walch, of Georgia, was in his place,
and stated that he had thus far voted for
San Francisco, but as he was satisfied that
that city would not be selected, he would
change his vote for st, Louis. Other charges
followed and st. Louis was chosen.
Mr.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, moved a re-
consideration of the resolution naming July
as tho date for the convention. This was
agreed to, and on motion of ex-senator Nc
Donald June was fixed upon as tho date.

THE RATE WAR.

Its Cost Figured Out by tho Northwestern
Railroader.
MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, February 25.-The
Northwestern Railroadsr, carrying on its
calculations of the cost of the rate war to
the railroad companies, shows to-day that
the loss over the whole territory
affected has not been lees than
a, 100000. Shipments and receipts
of freights have more than doubled during
the past week, as compared with the two
preceding weeks. and the loss under the
present rates to the roads has been on st.
Paul and Minneapolis business alone, $751;
600 in seven days. Since the war COM
menced it has been $4,000. The North
western Railroader sums up the
situation as follows: The position now
is by no means en- ouraging. The
managers at their third effort may have bet
ter luck than has attended their first two.
We wish there were more substantial
grounds for hoping 90. With the loss of
81, SOC, 600 already incurred, and certainty
