Trouble Feared With the Indians at
Cheyenne Agency.


Miles City, Mont, Dec. S,-Orders
have been received from headquarters
in st. Paul for the troops at Fort Keogh
to 90 to Cheyenne agency, as the reds
are dancing in violation of the orders of
the agent, and have notified him that
they intend to make an attack. Con-
siderable alarm is felt, and danger is
feared by settlers from rowing reds bent
on plunder and murder, rather than
from concerted action.
Chicago, Ill.,, Dec. 8.-Army officers in
this department are inclined to discredit
the reports telegrapbed that the Chey-
ennes at Cheyenne agency had gone on
the warpath. General Miles declined
to be- interviewed on the subject on the
ground that it would be discourteous to
brother officer, as the scene of disturb
ance was outside of his jurisdiction.
CAPTAIN Eli l.. Higgins, one Of General
Miles aides, who is we'll acquainted
with the character of the Cheyennes.
said "It is hardly possible that the
Cheyennes would at this time attempt
an outbreak. We have known for some
time, however, that they were dissatis-
fed with the existing state of affairs,
because the whites who had settled on
their reservation were allowed to re-
main, and there was evidence that the
settlers would be given patents to the
land on which they had settled. The
number of Cheyennes has been greatly
overestimated in the dispatches, and in
stead of 1000 there ale not more than
800 able bodied men. If they do at
tempt any outbreak the cavalry from Ft
Keogh can reach them in days ride. "

We are surprised that so many

stated his position on silver six
years ago. and there has never
been anything to indicate that he
had changed his mind, and nothing

is concerned.
In The meanwhile it must be re-
nembered that Mr.. Cleveland has
taken no adverse po.ilion TO silver
coinage, or practical bi-metalism.
We have a large and admirable
bi-meiallic currency. We have, in
round numbers. $100,000.00O Of
gold and $45O,000.000 OF silver, and
we are coming an amount equal to
the ordinary output of all Ameri-
can mines. Mr.. Cleveland op-

THE 47TH VOLUME.

With this issue commences the
47th volume of the DEMOCRAT.
STAR. While forty-seven years is
long time in the life of a news
paper-and very few attain it
the DEMOCRAT STAR is as strong, if
not stronger, than in the days of
its youth, financially and other
wise. While we love the old
friends, friends who have always
stood by us and always will, we
have reached that plane from
whence we can smile al the efforts
of those who would have pulled us
down. Those who have known
what we have been in the past,
know what we will be in the future
the same plain, unvarnished,
telling, corruption-defying
journal that it has always been.
Our motto has been and ever will
be, "Hew to The line, let the chips
fall where they may" We have
always held that a paper should
always be fearless in upholding
the right and in condemning the
wrong. At least such has been,
and ever will be our course.

SHUT THE GATE.

The time was when the peopl
of this country imagined that the
: needed emigration from Europ
and elsewhere to people our vas
domain. Consequently there ha
been a standing invitation to tn
people of the world to emierate {,
our shores. In our greed to gail
numerical strength. we have en-
tirely overlooked the quality o.
character of the emigrants thai
were coming. In fact. so loose
has been TIE restrictions upon EN-.
igration that this country has al
most become penal colony OF
general dumping ground for all
the vile characters of European
countries. If these emigrants were
simply the oppressed, and oppress-
ed for opinion sake. and those
opinions of manly character, we
could still be glad to receive them.
But when these opinions are that
they are particularly appointed to
destroy law and order, and that
dynamite bombs were placed in
their hands by The creator to ac-
cOmplish their hellisb purposes,
we should say that even for opin-
ions sake that we will have to
lock you out.
How many of us have ever stop
ped TO think how fast we are losing
our nationality? Why, even at
this early day, in many of the
Western States, you may ride on
horseback for two days and never
hear an English word spoken, and |
where native American is hardly |
allowed to reside. This element |
is now so strong that they are
clamorlng against the teaching of
the English language in their
schools. But the worst is, and
they know it full well, that they
EAST a heavy vote and, where not
n a majority, hold a balance OF
power, which secures to them po-
itical advantages not held by 9th
ers. Take the Irish for instance,
who could ever expect that vote
or any very prominent position
a direct or indirect pledge
hat they would do all in their
power to stir up a muss with Eng
and ! We often see resolutions
n Congress censuring Russia in
egard to her treatment Of Jews.
<ow, we all know that American
do not care a snap
bout the Irish, Russian or Dutch
nan outside of his vote. But that
reat love for his vote is liable to
cad us into trouble. i
But what are we going to do |
bout it? Why those we have we
i'll have to put up with, but let G

lg. If they will come let them =
