An End to the Chest Dance.

PIERRE, s. D.. Dec. 2.-Lettsrs have been
received to-day and published from Capt.
A. B. MCGOWAN, of Fort Sully, and Lieut..
d. A. McCsrty of Fort Bennett, command
ants at each post, stating that the Indian
frontiers, so lar as that country is con-
cerned, is perfectly safe. The latter Off
Ger, accompanied by Agent Palmer, has
just returned from q personal visit to
Humps and Big Foot's camp, on Cherry
creek, and state that the cold weather and
snow have driven the Indians in from
their ghost dances. They advise all set
tiers to procure good rifles and plenty Of
ammunition this winter, because the dan
ger of an outbreak in the spring IS great.
Meanwhile they have established q system
Of scouts around the Indian camp and
will be warned of the first trouble. should
any arise during the winter. Their letters
are in the nature of public assurance of
safety to all people east of the Missouri
river.

interviewing General Miles.

WASHINGTON, Dec. General Miles,
who has been in Washington since
last Saturday night, in consulta-
ton with Secretary Proctor. General
Schofield and Secretary Noble upon mat
tiers relating to the Indian situation in the
northwest, left for Chicago to-day.
"The causes of this difficulty" said Gen.
eral Miles, 'are easy of location. INSULT
cient food supplies, religious delusion and
the irate disposition of the savage to go to
war must be held responsible" "Are cam
paign preparations on the part of the gov
eminent compiete~ was asked. "Not
quite" replied the general. Everything
will be ready in q few days though. The
troops and supplies are en- route and will
be available very speedily. All that is
possible is being done to encourage the
layal and reduce the number and influence
of the hostile, and In this way an outbreak
may be averted. l sincerely hope there
WILDE no hostilities, for q general upris-
ing would be q most serious affair." How
contend withF~ taking them ALTOGETHER
there are in the northwest about $4,000 who
are affected by the Messiah craze. That
means fully 5000 fighting men. OF this
number at least One-third would not 90 on
the wal path, so that leaves us with about
1000 adversafies. There are 5000 other
Indians in the Indian territory who will
need to be watched II active operations
take place. Four thousand Indians q
make an immense amount of trouble.
But one. fifth of that number were con-
cerned in the Minnesota massacre, yet they
killed more than 500 settlers in a very
brief space of time" "What is the total
strength of your forcem General Miles
avoided the question somewhat by re-
ferring to the great necessity which exist
I'd for more cavalry. "AltOgether;" he
said, 1--WE hsve about 1000 mounted men.
We have infantry, but you cannot catch
mounted Indians with white soldiers on
foot. The infantry had or two good
fights in 1876.77, but such engagements are
rare in frontier warfare"
us it not . novel proceeding for Indians
to 60 on the warpath at the beginning Of
winter p Queried the reporter. "Yes, in
some respects 1t is," replied the general.
sTheir argument Is good, though. They
are better armed now then they ever were
and their supply Of horses is ali that could
be desired. Every buck has . Winchester
rifle, and he knows how to Q 1t. In the
matter Of subsistence they are taking but
little risk. They can live on cattle just ss
well as they used to live on buffalo, and
the numerous horse ranches will furnish

ern Indian is hardy and can suffer a great
deal. These hostiles have been starved into
fighting, and they will prefer to die fight,

WE DEVOTE considerable space to-
day to an expose OF the manner in
which the Commonwealth Beneficial
Association does business in this city
and we suppose In every city where II
operates. The fact that the company's
operations here extended almost ex-
clusively to colored people who ere
considered easily duped. the intended
imposition and We might say fraud on
the part OF the company becomes
more apparent. A casual reading OF
the rules alone should convince per
sons OF ordinary intelligence that they
were made TO evade an honest service.
Tho country is cursed with these
treacherous leeches that but suck GU,
the life blood of the community thai
somebody too lazy TO pursue an honest
occupation may live in cpulence at the
expense Of thousands Of duped VIC
Tins. It is high time the law would
take hold OF this close relative o.
graveyard insurance. Let the people
read the exposure and then wonder q
the public lenity that permits such In
stitutions to thrive aud fatten In thei
midst.

At TWELVE O'CLOCK last night the
second term OF L. X Cochran as Clerk
Of the Peace OF New Castle County ex
.pired, making continuance In that
Cfflee OF ten yeare. As Mr. Cochran
and Mr.. Osborne, his deputy, have re-
tired from official life for the present,
1t is but just and proper TO say that
they hive been efficient, honest, ALA
bic and obliging public servants. The
political opinions they entertained be-
longed to themselves alone. while their
services as public officers belonged to
the public. After the lapse OF ten
years, and after having had dealings
in some manner with very large pro.
portion of the people of the county,
there are none who will say they did
not at all times receive gentlemanly
and civil treatment. With the laws
that govern the Office Mr.. Cochran had
nothing to do, he was but the admin
istrator Of the law. There were some
things that he would have had ditier-
emily no doubt If he could. but til,
State OF Delaware and not he was th
law-maker. He took things as h
found them and did business on bust
ness principles. Upon tile whole
neither the people. the county, nor th
State are worse of for the official in
cumbency OF Mr. Cochran and Mi
Osborne, and as they step out ono
more upon the broad plane OF commo
citizenship, our kind regards 60 wit
them.
