explained to them that the failure to
find the hide merely prevented his

person who owned the steer, but the
crime of killing the animal still re-
manned and they must he punished
for 1t. lie accordingly sentenced
them to confinement in the jail with
hard labor at wOod-sawing tor a term
of days, which had not expired when
Christmas came. The five culprits had
worked faithfully. however, and on
Christmas eve the Major sent for them,
and after explaining the Christmas
festivities rs enjoyed by the Great
Father and his people, told them that
he was going to give them some coffee,
sugar, rice, beans and other d~elicacies
dear to the red mans stomach, together
with permission to go to their homes
that night and celebrate Christmas
with their people, the only condition
being their word of honor that when
the sun went down on Christmas day
they would he back to finish the re-
mainder of their sentence. The In
dams gave their parole without hesita-
ton and thankfully, and took their de-
parture laden with supplies.
The Christmas feast was enjoyed,
and as the sun sunk behind the hills on
Christmas day the five warriors re-
ported for duty at the wood pile like
so many school boys, but unabashed
and with all the dignity of honest men,
whose pledge of honor had been taken
in the full expectation that il would be
redeemed. \ few more days at the
wood pile completed the sentence, and
to-day there are no Crow Indians in
the whole Crow nation more impressed
with the duty of obedience owed to
the Great Father through his represen-
tative, the agent, than those five. There
car be 10 doubt as to the authenticity
of the story. and James Fennimore
Cooper himself entertained
grander conceptions of the Indians
character.

HONOR AMONG CROWS.

The reputed simplicity and nobility

some fresh beef. AS the time that had
elapsed since ration day made il clear
that they had killed a beef unlawfully.

comes a public letter from General
Longstreet, of Georgia, the most prom
inent ex-confederate republican in that
state, perhaps in the entire South. Re
ceiving a letter from a friend asking
him il the allegation that he was on
~unfriendly terms with the president
was true. General I.ongstreet has
written a noteworthy reply. in which
he tells for the first time the story Of
his identification with the republican
party, recites the facts as To his rela.
tions with the Harrison administration
and gives an inside view of the means
whereby the republican organization in
the south is used simply TO maintain a
hold upon the spoils without regard TO
the public good or even TO party inter
ests.

charge that he did not vote for llarri.

son. and sets up in defense that i'm this
state the majority Of the other party Is
SO great that il. availed but little to
throw a drop against a current that
was overwhelming: and there were
many more republicans who declined
to vote for the same reason. and many
colored men not only failed to vote for
the republican candidate but voted for
the other side"
Now this indifference, the general
goes on to say, is due to a great extent
to the management of the so-called re-
publican organization controlled oy
Colonel Buck and his associates. They
have driven all the leading men OF the
party in the state from active co-opera-
ton in politics such as ex-senator
Joshua Hill and Jonathan Norcross,
who was the last republican candidate
to run for governor. To the list may
be added all prominent men of the
state. For they cannot become recon

agent of the Washington government,
with his contingent of carpet-baggers

STATIONS, and they control these places
by sending themselves as delegates to
the nominating conventions.
After the election of Harrison, hene-
raj Longstreet wrote him a letter OF
congratulation, and the president-elect
invited him to Indianapolis. During
that visit" he says, my position and
views i'm regard to the carpet Dagger
and z combination was explained
and fully approved in quite a lengthy
interview with the president-elect and
he went so far as to announce that he
would not give support to that ele-
ment." The general also asked for the
appointment of an ex-Confederate
friend to some position he does not spe-
city, and received encouragement.
Learning of this. the willy Colonel Buck
and his associates straightway began
to back-cap the general, and the first
he knew the president had
thrown him overheard. Gene
raj Longstreet broadly intimates
that Harrison is q mere tool in the
the hands of such men as Buck, who
are spelling all the hopes that the bet
ter men of the republican party had
formed of the administration. 1T
seems to me-" continues the general,
that the incoming administration had
a great opportunity to bring our peo-
pie north and south back into that har-
mony that was disrupted by secession,
and ! was more than willing to give
my efforts for such inviting work. In
view of the circumstances ] am panied
to say that il is more likely that Col
onel Buck was given the ascendency
more for the vote at the next conven-
ton than on account of my failure To
East a ballot that could not have been
of any service. Mr.. Blaine in his ad-
mirable book expresses the opinion
that leading southern men should be
encouraged as the only way of making
party strong in the SOUTH: That
the Buck plan is the way to destroy il
has been demonstrated by twenty
three years of experience"
And thus the dismal failure Of the
Harrison administration is becoming
daily a more and more conspicuous
fact.

Representative Turner, looking to re-
ducing the dangers of travel on the
Atlantic. While a scheme of ocean
patrol may look TO some extent feasible,
il is doubtful whether a system of suf-
ticent magnitude could be established
10 make the project a success. The
enactment and rigid enforcement of
laws providing for a reduction of
speed and the better fitting of vessels
with an adequate supply of life-saving
apparatus, which so many. and espec-
tally some of the larger steamers lack,
would be an infinitely better plan than
the best system of patrol that could
possibly be established.
