The dispatches this morning. are Of.
a less alarming tone than they have
been for some days past. The most
"warl,ke" correspondents. or some Of
thom at least, have departed for the
east, where they will keep on telling
stories Of their hair-breadth escapes
and blood-curdling adventures. The
South Dakotans, and Black Killers, es-
pecially, have almost universally, con-
demned the course pursued by the csr-
respondents OF avaficious eastern ,ns-
pers in maligning the fair name Of
South Dakota, and even smirch,ng that
Of our sister state, Nebraska. The At
kaNsoM Graphic makes the following
commendatory remarks on the Omaha
papers, and it is just as applicable to
other eastern sheets.
1.-THE Omaha papers have a sinister
object in view when thew paint the
w~ar-clouds up this valley red With
blood. They know that when the sew.
eral contemplated railroads from Sioux
City and other eastern points are COM
pleted westward, that her rich trade
with this fertile valley will practically
be cut Cd, hence her press employs
every means, fair or foul, to divert
immigration into those sections Of
Nebraska that will always be tributary
to Omaha. For this purpose have the
venal correspondents Of the Omaha
papers been pa id to picture this re-
gion US being environed with q horde
of blood.thirsty savages, who are on
the murderous war-path. scalping the
settlers without regard to age, sex or
condition"
That the condition has been serious,
at some stages, there is no denying,
nor has there been any doubt as to the
ability Of the government to quell any
outbreak at any time. Gen. Miles re-
ports, at Chicago, that all advices to.
day indicate everything quiet at the
scene Of the Indian troubles. The
General still clings to the idea that ill.,
sufficient rations have caused lhe pres.
ent uneasiness, but this is not believ.
ed by the settlers and citizens IN and
about the agencies, and who know the
Indian character. A difference 81
opinion between the War and Interior
departments caused some friction and
it is hoped that either one or the Other
of the departments will take complete
control. Troops are still moving for
ward to the different agencies, and by
tomorrow the Sioux in the "Bad
Lands" will b entirely surrounded
There is no uneasiness in this region
worthy Of mention, aud few, il any
settlers have moved into town. w,
hope IN . few days to chronicle the col
lapse Of the most gigantic wrong eve,
perpetrated on a young and prosper
GUS state by her older but envious sis
tors.

TIE Presidents Message.

The President and his followers resO-
lutely adhere to the silver fraud, the
Force bill and the tariff swindle. The
fact that the people have repudiated this
trio of swindles makes not the slightest
difference to these back number cham
bers. The President says the currency
has been increased one dollar and fifty
cents per capita during the past nineteen
months! Good! We are glad the
President appreciates his little dollar and
a half. This has given the people an act
ual cash increase per capits of little Ov-
er one-fOurth of cent day! This
scheme shoull recommend itself to all
conservative tinanciers throughout the
country. 1t is absolutely free from even
the suspicion of imitation. The President
thinks the rise in the prices which fol-
lowed the passage of the Mckinly bill
was not due to that measure, but resulted
from the silver legislation. If this were
so the price Of labor would have advanced
like everything else. But wages have not
advanced. They have either remained
stationary or declined, while the cost of
living has materially increased.
The President informs us that there
has beer purchased and redeemed since
March 4. 1886, bonds to the amount Of
$21I 1872, ,45O, for which he has paic S246-
$40, 74l-a net gift to the bondholders OF

Texas Farmers Alliance.

Texas is fairly alive with Alliances
and Alliance men, and the very best,
most intelligent men who were form
erly, as Democrats o. Republicans,
active against each other, are uniting
in every township to form party OF
the people. These Alliances are viz
tually school houses in which the cor
rect principles Of political economy
are being taught. They are the we'll
springs of regeneration from political
serfdom for the benefit Of the GOulds,
Quays, Belmonts and others who can
zee nothing in the people but beings
to be bound by legislation that they
may be bed and impoverished at the
leisure of money lenders.
The Wall street machinery, now in
the one-man control of Jay Gould,
during the month of November, 1890,
by simply Withholding $75,OOO,OOO

got $75,000,000 where he could dam 1t

The Wall street operators lose mil

The Barings fail for $lOO,OOO,OOO

Texas is an empire of itself. We

In the House of Commons the other
iay Sir William Vernon Harcourt brough,
up the pigott forgeries on question OF
privilege. He declared that the London
Times in publishing the forged letter. was
guilty of n breach of privilege. He said ::
Since the suit for libel has been decided
in favor of Mr.. Parnell and since it has
been admitted that the letters used rs u
cover to the assault on him were forgeries,
the House is afforded an absolutely sure
basis whereupon to act 1t is now obvious
that the object of the publication of the for
yerics on the day when the coercion bill
had its second reading was to influence n
division in Parliament. 1t was gross
and palpable outrage upon the House. A
more fragrant breach of privilege could
not be conceived. Some reparation should
be made for this use Of poisoned wea-
pous,"
