THE SIOUX SITUATION.
Nebraskans Who Think the Diaarmamsu

Was q Hollow l1Dckery.
"a hollow mockery'' is one Of the terms
applied to the alleged disarmament Of the
Sioux, and the condemnation comes from
citizens of Dawes county, Neb. Senator Man.
derson presented the memorial this morn
ing in which these citizens demand an immedi-
ate and thorough disarmament Of the Ogallalas
and Brules. The memorialists charge that the
promise Of the government made 10 the settlers
of Dawes and adjoining counties, that the In
dians should be disarmed, has been nagrantly
and openly disregarded. The hostile Indians had
not been disarmed, the only guns turned in being
those owned by alleged friendly Indiana, and
those arms being Of . worthless character.
''The army and the government" !" say the petit
TONERS, shave been justly made the laughing
stock Of all who have knowledge of the actual
state Of affairs, and the lives and property Of
this afflicted community are, IL anything,
more insecure at this time than before he hrSt

In conclusion: I'VE demand that TIE man.

ton be placed with the War Department snd

lcans in caucus:
Whereas the passage Of the House bin. COM
monty called the Elder tax bill, and others Of
like character by the house Of representatives,
of this state has caused great apprehension and
distress among the holders of Kansas securities,
and is as we believe, doing the people OF this
state great and irreparable injury by causing
the withdrawal Of all foreign capital from our
state, thereby rendering IL impossible for the
debtor class Of our people TO renew their mort
cages or even pay their interest sccruing
thereon; therefore, be it
Resolved. That il is the sense of this senate
that no wild or visionary measure calculated
in its nature or by its provisions TO injuriously
affect the people Of this state OF the credit a
the same can or shall pass this body.

place which would not be complete
without him. 1 return to Mr.. Cutter.
When visited his shop to try on his sad
and shoddy and libelous production, he
greeted me with smile and remarked
that he would receipt the bill now if
I gently said him nay, politely calling
his attention to the fact that a fit was
guaranteed. At this the Yankee sales
man dragged out the clothes. I put
them on behind curtain which was so
arranged that the people in the shop
could look at me around either side of
it. This trying ordeal put me in so good
a temper that I was prepared to saw
Mr.. Cutters head off with his own
shears, on the slightest provocation. In
fact, when looked at my reflection in
the mirror, the provocation seemed
quite sufficient to justify any atrocity.
There were the same old humpy
shoulders; the same despairing droop
of the whole coat as if it were hung on
pole; the same crosscut, bewildering
swirl of pantaloons, pursuing their
course from my waist to the floor in a
sinuous, sad, uncertain fashion, as if
they had plenty of time and were will
ing to take the longest way.

him lost in admiration. The Yankee
salesman was also nearly speechless,
but when he at last found tongue he
swore that his own skin was a misft
compared to that pant. He always
spoke of q mans neither garments in
the singular.
I ventured to call attention to the
shoulders of the coat. pointed out the
fact that they exemplified all the errors
and follies which I had adjured Mr..
Cutter to avoid.
"Vat you egspecdt?" he inquired.
.''Dose shoulders of yours vas peculiar.

"Look here" said I, 'didn't you Tell
me when came here first that was
built like Greek statue, and that any
body who couldn't fit me ought to be
electrocuted?"
'tWell, didn't notice that off leg at
the time" said the salesman. 81 saw
that the other was crooked but didn't
want to offend you by mentioning it.

''He is especially unhappy in his con-
ception of pantaloons," said L. SIT is
his creed that every body must be either
bow-legged or knock-kneed."
"Dose pants yer got on" remarked
Cutter, ''are knock-kneed in one leg,
und bow-legged in der remainder. I
never see such a holy show"
He clasped my slender calf in one
hand, and made gestures of disapproval
and disgust with the other.

'Win you sign bond to that effect?"
1 inquired. eff had exacted similar
pledge from every tailor I ever traded
with, the East river would now be al
most closed to navigation

of pantaloons hanging on line. He
said that if I could have been there half

gazed upon and never outside of this
particular shop.

to being cheated by tailors that no
other possibility ever occurs to me. I
simply order whatever they show me,
and afterwards suffer in silence. So I
told Mr.. Zswy, ETC., ETC., alias Cutter, to
make up a suit of those genuine i'm
ported goods, and then take out an in
surance policy on his life because he
would find it good investment in case
the clothes didn't fit me.
He told me that should have to wait
till the following Thursday, because he
was so rushed INIT beezness."
He gave me to understand that many
| of our most prominent citizens were at
that moment destitute of ''pants," and
had gone to bed rather than wear those
made by any other tailor, SO in order to
not interfere with the business interests
of the city he would be compelled to do

waited with foreboding ofevil, for
my experience with clothes has never
been happy. They have cast a blight
over my life. In my youth I was sup
posed to be hump-bgcked, for no other
reason than that the old man McCluslzey
made, my jackets. 1t is true that a num-
Der of the other boys suffered under the
same unjust suspicion, but that was no
consolation to me. It is, very damaging
to boys self-respect to get the idea in
his youth that he is deformed. How

can a hoy begin a straight life with .
pair of bow-legged Eantaloons? CIV
McCluslSey had theory that boys
clothes should not be made to fit him
immediately because, in that case, he
would outgrow them. When he took a
boys measure he modified it in spirit
of large and generous prophecy. I
never knew a boy to justify McCluslSey's
confidence in his possibilities of devel-
opment. AS for me was so under
sized before I was thirteen that one
freclzle covered my entire face, and
then suddenly took start and assumed
my present ample proportions almost
Immediately. But even during that
period-when took my own measure
three days in the week and got a new
chalk mark on the barn door every
time-I never grew into one of McClus-
keys suits. Whenever I got near
enough to one of them to endanger Nc
Cluskey's reputation as reliable mis-
filter, the garments always came to his
rescue and fell to pieces.
Well, these are but boyish trials. Nc
Cluslzey died many years ago, and is
now, no doubt, cutting asbestos cloth in
