Sitting Bull was killed while our troops
were endeavoring to arrest him. early
this week. The Herald says: "Sixty
millions of intelligent white men rejoice
over the death of one wretched savage.
The statement sounds curiously, but
there is no donbt that the news of Sit
ting Bulls death is received with uni
versal pleasure by the country. Tatonka
Otanka, known as Sitting Bull, was born
about 1887, and began to be known as a
bad chief during the war of the Rebel
lion. He found his place as leader of
Sioux outlaws, was concerned in in
Vulnerable Outrages, and in June, 1876,
gained his greatest infamy from his lead
ership in the Custer massacre. After
this he fed to Canada, but was starved
out and surrendered three years later.
He was not punished, however, but suf-
fered to go on his ways, and was a con-
slant source of trouble to other Indians
as well as settlers and the Government
up to the day of his death"

A good deal of fault is found with the
new ballot law, passed by the recent leg
islature; and while we are not disposed
to criticise the Legislature for any OF
their shortcomings, considering that
things were rushed through with UNI
seemly haste towards the close OF the
session, we are bound to say that for the
puritanical community, like the COM
monweath of Vermont, where ever voter
is intelligent enough to know what he is
about, more than half the time, and
where purity at the ballot box is a mat
ter of course, such law was not only
to a considerable extent, unnecessary, but
imposes large burden of expense on the
community that has heretofore been
meekly borne by the aspiring candidates.

In the case of Charles Seward, convict
ed of murder at Pine Bluff, Ark, Judge
Elliot sitting on motion for a new trial
made some sensible remarks. Seward
was prominent farmer of Desha county
and killed neighbor over a year ago.
Judge Elliot reviewed the case and then
gave decision everything the motion
for new trial, sentencing the prisoner
to be hanged on Thursday, January 20.
He then stated that he never had and
never would sentence man to be exc
cuted on a Friday, because on that day
Jesus Christ was crucified, and he would
not insult the memory of the founder of
Christianity by sentencing a murderer to
be hanged on the day upon which the
Son of God sacrificed his life for human
ity's sake

The oolored woman in Grand Rapids

The colored woman in Grand Rapids
who refused, at the last moment, to
marry a well to do white man, and chose
in preference black sutton for hus-
band, showed an amount of sense that
deserves credit. The laws in the North
ern States no longer prohibit such
unions, and it was perhaps wise that the
legal prohibition should be removed, but
the legality of such marriages cannot
efface the fact that they must, as rule,
be attended by such unhappiness. The
civil rights of the colored man are recog
nized, and should be sacredly main
tanned; but there is probably less inter
mixture of these two races to-day thar
ever before.
