Captain Armes, recently court-mar-
tailed in Washington and suspended
from duty for five years for pulling
Governor Beavers nose and other un-
soldlerly acts, is used to that sort of
treatment, it seems. He was court
martialed in January, 1868, on charges
touching his conduct in the department
of the Missouri and acquitted. Six
months later he was again tried on
another charge and reprimanded. In
March, 1870, he got it again and was
dismissed. He was restored by special
act Of congress in 1873. October, 1879,
he was again tried on various charges
and found guilty and sentenced to dis
missal but Hayes committed the sentence
to suspension for one year. While
serving this sentence he was again tried
for disobedience and third time SEN
fenced to dismissal but Garfield COM
muted it to suspension for six months.
He now gets, under his present sentence,
full retired pay.
Old Red Cloud has finally declared
himself as against the reservation bill,
and is fighting it. His reasons are that
his people need all the land in the reser-
vation for their own use in order to work
and live like the whites. The commiss-
ioners, however, expect to bring him
over, in short time as the kickers at
Rosebud were brought. His opposition
was aroused and brought out through
the Influences of the Indian defense as
sociation headed by Bland. Should this
commission fail and Bland afterward de-
sire to visit this section we are of the
opinion before doing SO it would be a
wise business policy upon his part to
send in the order for his harp and leave
the measure for his golden crown. The
people of South Dakota are becoming
extremely tired OF this business.
There are few young boys in this
city who are preparing themselves for
severe punishment in the near future.
They are in the habit of visiting the
creek near the northeastern suburbs
and, divesting themselves of all clothing,
enter for a swim. After their bath they
mount horses and, still arrayed in
"beauty unadorned," ride wildly to and
fro regardless of the presence of ladies
or children. If they do not shortly stop
these ways some day they will go home
carrying few good, healthy blisters
which will compel them to eat their
meals off a mantle-piece for week or
two. If this treatment does no good the
law will be called into service and the
reform school sent few new occupants.

The Samoan troubles have been set
tied. The official ratification by the
governments of England, Germany and
the United States alone remain and it
will be given shortly. The outcome is a
credit to this country. Our commits
sioners obtained everything they asked
for. A valuable precedent has been es-
tablished. A new era has been inaugu-
rated in American diplomacy, signifying
that hereafter the United States will have
no small weight and influence in the
council OF nations. The outcome is
something new for this country. The
of foreign affairs by Harrison
and Blaine is somewhat different than
that OF Cleveland and Bayard
There are some publishers in the Hills
who are in the habit of enclosing hand
bills and circulars in their papers and
sending them through the mails. These
additional enclosures carry no mark
showing them to be supplements. Some
Of these enterprising journalists will get
themselves into very warm water if Uncle
Sam finds it out. Any extra enclosures
sent out with a regular edition of o.
paper must be marked supplement
and contain straight" reading or
news matter.
