Closing Exercises at the High school

We invite attention to the closing
exercises of the high school pupils on
Friday afternoon of this week. The
examination papers will be ready for
inspection then, ana it is earnestly de-
sired that parents and all who are in-
terested in educational matters will
arrange to be present, thus stimulat-
ing the scholars to greater effort, and
furthering the cause of education in
the community. An especial invita-
ton is extended to those who have
not visited the school recently, and it
is believed that candid investigation
will show that honest and faithful
labor has been the rule; that value
has been received for the money ex-
pended; and that the course of in
struction, followed as it should be, fit.
ly supplements the work of the lower
grades and provides the scholar of to-
day with means of mental equip
ment far superior to and comparative.
ly unknown to the scholar of 30 and
40 years ago. Those who may cues
ton the foregoing are respectfully in.
vited to favor the school with their
presence on Friday afternoon of this
week.

Suffering at Sisseton Agendy.

The Indians at the Sisseton
agency are reported as being in a
destitute and starving condition,
and the Pioneer Press says that
unless, assistance is given them
they will undergo great hardship
and suffering before spring We
have anticipated this FOR several
months past. Our correspondent
at the Sisseton reservation in
formed us in the early part Of the
season that he believed there
would be much suffering among
the Indians on that reservation
this winter on account Of the fail
.ure Of their crops last summer, as
the average yield Of wheat was
less than FIVE bushels to the acre.
The Government should look into
this matter as it would seem from
the specials to the Pioneer Press
that agent Jarkias, for some rea-
son, is reluctant about making
known the true condition Of the
Indians under his charge.

It would seem from Washing

desirous Of the ratification Of the

The report Of the Northwestern

no doubt, Commissioner Atkins

so-called agreement were inHu-

remonstrance Of FoUR-F1rTHs Of

We had always believed that
Mr.. Atkins was proof, and free
from the communicating influences
Of the schemes and intrigues Of
the knaves and cringing suckers
whose only motives are to rule,
rob, and defraud the Indians, but
we are beginning to doubt the sin
cerity Of his motives regarding the
welfare Of the Indians of this
State. Less than one-fourth Of
the Indians who are interested in
the White Earth reservation
signed the so-called agreement
which the Commissioner Of Indian
affairs is 50 strenously urging up
on Congress to ratifY! Therefor,
how can it be called an agree
ment :? Common sense would in
fer, that if the Commissioner Of
Indian affairs had in view the
welfare Of the Indians, he would
p E7s s
consult and respect their wishes to
q certain extent at least. The
proposition looking to the ratifca-
tion Of the so-called agreement is
an act in direct violation Of the
expressed policy Of the Govern
ment, that Of getting the consent
Of at least a MAJORITY Of the Indi-s
ans to any agreement or treaty
with them, and q griievous wrong
to the Indians who are directly in.
