THE GREAT RESCUE.

From the Northwestern Financier.
When the great firm of Barring Broth
ers & Co., of London, foresaw that they
would be compelled to suspend, they i'm
mediately informed the governor of the
Bank of England, who at once called his
directors together and raised the discount
rate to per cent. Nobody understood
the cause, but prudent bankers every
where believed there was some cause not
publicly known. A great crisis was at
hand. The failure of this great house
would carry in its wake ruin
in all parts of the world. Who
could foretell the number of millions
that would be lost? Who could
count the fortunes sunk, or measure the
extent of the distress sure to follow so
great a calamity? No time was to be
lost. The fact must not be known to the
public. Every lip must remain sealed.
Every energy to the rescue. The Bank
of England, the Rothschilds, J. 5. Nor
gan & Co., Morton, Rose & Co., and two
or three other banking houses immed-
lately organized a syndicate and sub
scribed some Sc. 100000 to save the
house from failure. The Bank of Eng
land alone taking over half the amount,
and was thereby reduced to the necessity
of borrowing $4,000, 900 in gold from
the Bank of France
There is something heroic in this great
Great financiers stepping

THAT WAR ON PAPER.

Some correspondent who seems not
only acquainted with the Indians, but
knows Buffalo Bill, writes as follows
touching General Miles war with the
Indians A war that seems wholly on
paper and in which there will be no
bloodshed unless the Indians are forced
into it, and war that was inaugurated
by the presidential bee buzzing in Gen
eral Miles bonnet:
1t always highly amuses me to see that
spectacular scout" Mr.. William Z.
Cody,-whO gained his sobriquet of
Buffalo Bill by slaughtering a lot
of bison for the labor camps
of the Union Pacific railroad-get-
ting mixed up in an alleged Indian war
fare. When the newspapers recently in
formed the wondering east that the
Northern Sioux at Standing Rock and
Pine Ridge agencies were making prep
arations to to take to the warpath, / had
certain suspicion that there was some
thing behind the story. Every man who
is familiar with the habits of Northern
Indians knows perfectly well that they
do not take to the trail in the autumn or
winter. There is no general uprising of
these Indians on record that did not oc-
cur in the spring or summer.
They know perfectly well that at
this TING of year, in many parts of
the country they inhabit, the snow is two
or three feet deep, and that, if they go
to war, they can neither support their
own lives with wild game, nor the lives
of their ponies with grass. SO. when l
read that there was a tremendous Indian
uprising l smiled softly to myself and
kept my eye peeled for job. Later.
when it was given out that Mr.. Cody
had been selected to so north and arrest
Sitting Bull. had quiet little laugh.
There will not be many Indians-and
none of them dangerous-where Cody
ventures in. If he arrests Sitting Bull,
it will be because that old consumptive
warrior is peaceful and willing to sub
NIT. But, when the whole story of this
present Indian affair comes TO light,
there will be some mighty interesting
heading for some people.
