A significant commentary upon our Indian policy is presented in the fact that the Turtle Mountain tribe winch numbered only 300 few years ago IS now 1900 strong. The increase is due to the coming of Indians across the line from Canada, because on this side they are so much better cared for than on the other. The sober truth is that the Indians ill thls country have more food and clothes at the expense of the Government than the average white farmers on the frontier are able to earn by hard and lncessant labor Globe Democrat.

The Windom silver bill, with a few important changes, IS ready to be re. ported from tue House Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures. Wiudom' s scheme fer the issuance of certificates at the current market price of silver is endorsed.

Concerning General Crook and the editor of the Champion, Booths Baaoo IS informed that the editor of tbe Champion was informed by letter from General Haleck's s chef of staff, Colonel Robert N. Scott, of Lieute- nant. Colonel Crooks assignment to the sub military distnet ef Bose to succeed Major Louis Marshall before any otheI civilian in Idaho knew of the fact. Crooks military operations in Idaho and m Arizona were closely watched and enthusiastically approved by the writer up to and some time after his promotion to be brigadler general. Without giving details taat would make large book of much ln- terest, 1t Is enough to say that tue modest, but anbiuous LieutenaDt-Col- onel Crook WAS very different and more useful man and soldier than the Brlgadler or MaJor'uenefai CfooN, n the humber capacity he was one of the most successful Indian subduers and apparently one of the truest friends and sympathizers of tue ex. posed trontiersmen and their families, but Tn the higher capacities he has displayed much more zeal ln behalt of the thieying and murdering Indians than for toiling and struggling pIo- neers exposed to their fell work. His good work was caused by his am- bition; his ambition gratifed, his g.od work ceased, the imperi!ed pionf srs lost his aid, and the hostile Indians secured it. The Baaoo may imagine the rest.-Chino (Call Champion.
