To MAKE the wholesale charge that the
Indians are insuficiently fed and etarv-
ing without specifying the agency,
is to do a great injusticets some of the
agencies. Major Mclaughlin is emphatic
in his protestations that the Indians of his
agency (standing Rock have plenty Of
rations. Besides he pays them a large
amount of cash annually for grain and
vegetables produced by them-over $780,
600 this year. He also employs the In
dams for freighting, one outfit receiving
over $4,000 for freight taken from Man.
dan to the agency last week. At Pine
Ridge, Rosebud and other agencies there
may be some ground for the settlement
that the Indians haven't enough to eat,
but such a statement cannot be main
tanned at Standing Rock.

EVERYTHING is once more serene in
Morton county and our neighbors
swing into line with three republicans in
the legislature. MI. Hanitch went over
to Mandan yesterday to conduct the con-
test for Max. Schultze, and found that
there mas nothing for him to debut to
collect his fee. Mr.. Schultze realized,
probably, that he could not secure much
substantial support in his fruitless con-
test, and wisely gave up the fight. There
will be another election two years hence,
and Max. may have a chance then.

The death of Sitting Bull removes a
disturbing element and will result in
great good to the Sioux nation, yet there
are many who will regret that the old
chieftain could not have been taken alive
and held captive until the scales of
superstition should have dropped from
his eyes and the ghost dance and Mes
siah craze completely removed from his
mind. He has been SO long associated
with the history of the Dakotas that his
sudden taking of-because of a devotion
to what he considered simply a religious
craze-causes some regret-sentimental
though it may be. It will be remem-
bered that he participated in the lay
ing of the corner stone of the capitol
building and made a brief speech at the
time, declaring his friendship for the
whites. He also was a drawing card at
Dakota's exhibit in New Orleans and
later was one of the attractions in the
grand procession at the meeting of the
constitutional convention. He was get
ting old and feeble and probably had
but few years longer to live at best, still
his medicine was bad and his influence
on the younger bucks demoralizing. He
disobeyed the agent and refused-per-
haps through fear-to come in to the
agency. He resisted arrest after due
warning, and it is said, had made up his
mind to leave the agency rather than be
arrested. He has left the agency-never

The Cakes Republican, Rolla Star and

The Cakes Republican, Rolla Star and
quite a number of other papers pub
lished in districts affected by the drouth,
endorse Congressman Hansbrough's seed
grain bill. Other papers do not question
the motive but believe a general bill Gov
ering the drouth-stricken regions in all
the states would be better. To single
out North Dakota, that is in much better
condition than most Of the states, is
hardly fair. It might hurt the public
credit.

Major Guthrie on Indians.

Major Guthrie, who was up from Pierre
yesterday, says everything was quiet when
he left that part of the country as regards
the Indian excitement. lie says not a gun
has been fired against or by the Indians so
far and that no stock has been run off. The
Indians are keeping up their ghost dances
IN he Bad Lands. which point is about
sixty-fve miles from Standing Rock. Those
Indians and the Standing Rock Sioux are
the only two tribes that made a speciality
of ghost dances. "The Dance" said Mr..
Guthrie, commenced with the changing of
agents at Pine Ridge. Mr.. McChesney,
Agent Rogers predecessor, never allowed
Indians to carry on these demonstrations
and when DR.. Roger took charge he was
Ignorant of them indulging in such wild
orgies. They started off with a little two.
for-a-cent dance. The agent paid no at
tentlon 70 them, thinking no harm would
come OF 1t, so the Indians rapidly became
holder and began to hold monster dances.
The agent saw, too late then, that he was
powerless to stop it, consequently the.Pine
Ridge country is thick with blue coated
soldiers: l have had a great deal of exper-
fence with Indians in my capacity as sher-
III OF hughes county, having arrested a

and l find that if an Indian thinks for a
moment that a man will shoot, he is not
going to shoot back, but will invariably
surrender. l once started out with
an interpreter to arrest Little Wound,
of whom you have heard a great deal late
ly in the papers, as he is a disturbing
element down there. We found him with
a rifle lying across his knees, but did not
dare arrest him then while he was armed.
However, it became noised about that l
was after Little Wound. and in an incredi-
bly, short tim the news got among all the
Indians. They all knew 1 wanted to ar
rest Little Wound. 1t is surprising how
quickly news travels through an indian
camp. The next day I again started after
him in the hope of finding him without
arms. l found him, but didn't have a word
of authority to say to him, for he gave
himself up, knowing l was after him,
climbed into the wagon and we took him
back to Pierre. Indians are naturally
treacherous and cowardly. You couldn't
induce them to hunt an aIubushed enemy,

-of his BILL aid for drouth-
stricken residents of his state says:
My resolution asks for relief for those
farmers in the central counties of the state,
who have repeatedly lost their crops, and
is in line with similar resolutions relative
to similar conditions in Kansas and Ne
braSka, where farmers are assisted year
alter year, and yet Omaha, Topeka, Lin
coin and other cities in those states con-
tinue to grow and thrive. Grand Forks
and the cities of the Red River valley in
North Dakota will grow and thrive, be-
cause the Red River valley is the richest
agricultural region on earth; and no man
has used more printers ink than l have to
advertise that fact"
The Pioneer Press in speaking of the
appeal for aid from Mcintosh county
says:
The st. Paul people are by no n.eans
niggardly, and would be glad to aid in a
worthy cause, but they. feel. inasmuch as
Mr.. Hansbrough has been criticised fer
applying for government assistance for the
destitute Dakotans, that his critics are the
proper ones to supply the means of relief.
That these poor people need help is unde-
niable, but The Red River valley people OBJ
ject to the asking for aid without the state,
n say they can provide all the help nee
essary for their W poor.
The majority Of the settlers in McIn-
tosh county came into hat county too
late in the summer of 1889 to raise a
crop that year and last year the crops
were destroyed by drouth. Thus the
majority of the settlers, who went there
poor a year and ahalf ago., have not
raised scarcely anything except a few
vegetables and a little live stock,
