A BATTLE between the U. S. troops
and Indian, in South Dakota, last
Monday, resulted in the loss of about
IS soldiers and like number wound
ed and the death of $50 Indians and
several hundred wounded. The sue
ceeding day another attack was made
and IL Indians were killed and many
wounded. The loss of troops, if any,
is not given. A Washington dispatch
of the 31st ult. states that Eastern
"pbilan thropists" have formed an Or
ganization for protection of the
rights" of the Indians, and have de-
manded Of Congress an investigation
of charges of slaughter Of squaws and
children. Mrs. Harrison is q member
OF the organiza ion, and an effort will
be made to enlist her personal efforts
for that object. 1t seems little
strange to those who understand the
treacherous, blood-thirsty nature of
the savage, and the sense of justice
and humanity which usually charac-
terizes the human heart, for people SO
far removed from the scene of trouble
to form such a hasty opinion and take
such decisive action in a contest like
that which has been precipitated by
such cold -blooded miscreants as Sitting
Bull. "A little knowledge is q dan
gerous thing" and in this instance is
likely to prolong contest which
should be settled with promptness and
decision.

The Oregonian's New York finan-
cial report dated on the 2Sth ult., states
that the business situation is steadily
improving, and that the prospects of a
frightful panic are fading from view.
The policy of non-interference by Con-
gress is gaining strength, and this
seems to restore confidence, for the
impression seems to be that the bust
ness of the country is more unsettled
by the uncertainty resulting from the
proposed untricd schemes than any
other cause.

THE future OF the Democratic party
never looked brighter than it does to-
day, and the rank and file of the party
look, as they have right to look, to
the leaders OF the party to exercise the
greatest care to see that no step is
rashly taken that will have a tendency
to mar the brightness OF that future.
If such care be taken we have rea
sonable right to expect not only to
control the House of Representatives
of the Fifty-third Congress and elect
the next President. but also to have
4 majority in the United States
Senate after March 4, 1898.

The law entitled An act to pro- vide for the maintenance of the sev- eral counties of this Territory and to prescribe additional duties to the Boards of Supervisors and Treasur- CTS thereof" was framed with the view of relieving the financial pres sure in those counties so unfortu- nate as to be burdened with an in debtedness in excess of four per cent of their taxable property. Since the law applies to certain counties only, the question arises is it not special legislation and in conflict with the Harrison Act which pro scribes laws of that character?- Silver Belt.

c. R.Townsend came up from the Lerdo Colony Tuesday, a distance of 80 miles, He informs Us that the Cocopah Indians lost about one-third of their horses, mules and burros. They had no cattle to lose. They also lost most of their corn, beans and squashes, which leaves them in a poor condition to put in this seasons crop. The water rose in Mir. Townsend's house two feet and a half in an hour; he lost only one horse. But few cattle were lost. All the live stock, even the hogs wild and tame kept just ahead of the water. MT.
