St. Paul Dispatch: The prevail
ing belief that eloquence is at pitifu]
discount in the conduct Of public
affairs in this day and generation was
never more thoroughly disproyed
than by the fame attending the name
Of Henry W. Grady during the clos.
ing years Of his life. When he had
won distinction in his calling as 4
public journalist, somewhat common,
suratc with his abilities, it required
his address on the New South before
the New England society to- bring
him into national prominence. The
address was al eloquent one, and
because it had the ring Of the genuine
article, it made its author esteemed
throughout the land as a man Of
brains and patriotism. That this
was the effect on Northern communi.
ties no one will question, but among
his own people at the South, the
truth Of contemporary history, if it is
ever spoken, will show that from the
time Of its delivery to the time of his
death Mr.. Grady was kept busy try.
ing to explain that speech and
square, himself with the super-sen.
Esitive sectional pride and perverted
patriotism of those who have not vel
ceased to gIorify rebellion. Surel,
it strangely illustrates the irony Of
fate that man like Grady, who did
IN brief life so much to unite the
people of the North and Of the South
in the bonds of fraternity, should he
stricken down in his youth, while a
misguided and irreconciliable old par
ricide like Davis should be allowed t,
greatly outrun the allotted span o.
human life,

Thus it is that words are made and

this manner the language progresses by
accretion, as it WERE Such words as
lake new meanings from custom are
usually from the common people; that

is in this way that cd words drop out or
take new meanings and lose their old
ones, and new words take their place.

THAT INDIAN OUTBREAK.
The Red Men Said TO Have Sobered on
and Will Not Make More Trouble.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-A dispatch from ST. Paul,
Mimi. says: The troops sent TO the scene of the
reported Indian outbreak at Mile Lacs broke
camp at Mora and returned to Fort Smelling
last night. The latest courier from the reser-
walton brought the news TO Mora at noon that
the Indians had sobered off and were not in
clined 10 make any further trouble The ap-
pearance OF the troops had a wholesale effect
IN intmida.ing them, and for this reason the
expedition was not altogether useless. The
scared settlers have regained courage and are
returning ID their homes. It is likely that the
arrest Of Wadena,
THE YOUNG BUCK WHO SHOT MAGNUssoS
will be left to the United States marshal and
his deputies. There is a question. unsettled
even in the land Office and Interior department.
whether the land belongs to the government or
to the lndians-whether il is a reservation or
not. District Attorney Baxter is in commune
cation with the Washington authorities and
when decision is reached in Wadena's case il
Will be important as indicating the future pol
Icy OF the government regarding the owner
ship of the land. The Indians threatened with
the loss of their possessions have grown bitter
toward the government and the whites but
they are held in check by a provision in the
treaty which secures them their rights When
they sold the bulk of their reservation twenty
three years ago treaty was signed giving them
the right TO live on the reserve as long as they
are at peace with the whites. and they know
that any organized attack on the settlers would
be an excuse for taking the land.
