II. M. 4. Writes Another Letter.
M--N, OAK, July IL, lSs

MY MAN FRIDAY:
have just run over from the CAPT.
toll and will drop YOU Il few lines.
Ever since that other letter miscar.
ricd l have had Il shiver come over
nc every tim" write to you. l am
glad YOU oheyrd my instructions not
to say anything about it i'll the paper.
1t would have been much better if
YOU had said nothing about it else
where. l knew that it would be USE
less to deny it. 1t was SO true and
| so natural and only to Il bosom friend,
like you. could it he possible for me
to speak SO truly.
l am very sorry that it seems inn
possible for You to run IL paper with
judgement. Your little senseless
filings must disgust people. l give
you due credit for not having quite
SO many since l cautioned you.
| That drive at the Preshyterians was
very silly. l do not suppose that you
or your clique had u cent invested in
the fund and it is hardly likely that
your lumber dealer wishes you to
advertise that parties building church
es can make u big saving Ivy buying
direct from st. Paul. Then that
snap and snarlat Mr.. Moore after he had
left the country and WAS over a thous.
and miles away. What was it good
for! Moore will never know of it
unless you sent him Il marked copy
and his Dickinson friends will only
remark that it shows the breed OF
dogs you belong to-. / noted what
you said about your little clique of
hackers, that you had to say some
thing to suit them and that that was the
only way you could please them
There is force in that and l appreci.
ate your position, but it will not do
to humor these fellows too much.
| They are not worth it. They ARE
always going to do something big,
They blow their horns as il they were
going to make the walls of Jericho
tumble, but when the grand crash
should come they tumble into theil
own horns and are next seen crawling
out of the little ends. If You can
please them 10y abuse of Scott, n. g
and the District Attorney, all right
That can do no damage. Talk abou,
y. C's. peanut stand (of course every
last II Of your clique would ht
proud to have it. hut no matter), cal
the District Attorney an abortion
wish he was-and call Scott IL liar
hut do not say anything more ahou
that teapot. My friend p don
like it. He considers it Il reelection
on him and his house quite mnbccom
ing You who have SO often "smiled'
under its influence without coStin!
you IL cent. You say that your cliqu
is always spelling for ii fight. know
the fellows are spelling, can smell
them now. Some who YER ut Bis
marck on the Fourth left such u ba'
odor about me that some of my pc
litical friends hold their noses whcl
| 90 near them. Keep your cliu'l
away from Bismarck till after tn
convention.
hardly know what to do with YOU
but | have IN idea. What do yo'
think of it! The Sioux Commission
seem to he getting along all right
If the reservation is opened and TIL
Indians are settled down Oh lands il
srveralty, they will he full citizen
and voters. They do not have u sin
Gle newspaper. The vote of the Ii
dians will he solid IL way Or AZ
other and the fellow who secures
will he no SLOUGH. by proper mar
agement the friends, of 10, the poo
Indian, i'm the East will furnish fund'
I'll get up a stock company to bu
my Dickinson branch (as | did wit
the home %concern) and will move 20
and it into one of the best India
settlements and start the Big Siou
Chief and War Whoop.er-up. Anon
those simple son of Nature you
simplicity will be quite at home. !
little exposure to the sun, an oil
! blanket and half Il dozen tail feather
: will equip you to take your place
: one among the noble Red men. w
: may work up u boom that will sen
me to the U. S. senate, who know:
If / get there will send you bac
to England just to show the British
, ers what Il fool Il accomplish
, America. They talk OF British gol'
: but we will show what English bra:
g can do. Who cares for Stark count
$ anyhow! Get along as best you ca
!, for a while. If the clique bother W
Il too much tell them to go to -Can
f da, YES, that will do, but keep the
q away from me.
. Yours Still Hopefully,
