orr PROMISES TO TIE STOUX.

Much that is foolish ill-adyiScd and false
has appeared in print concerning our dealings
with the Sioux Nation since the recent troubles
obtrudcd the Indians upon public attention. 1t
is being continually said that The Indians are
starving that this is the principal cause of
their discomfort and that their harlshipS are
mainly due to the incompetence and inaycry of
lndian Agents. There IS just enough OF fact in
this statement 10 render il difficult b. impress
the public mind with the full and actual truth.
As an explanation Of what Is occurring il is
short and simple. II accords with what has
happened in the past, and the public naturally
inclincS to receive it as sufficient. But in effect
it is wholly misleading. 1t is an indictment Of
the American people which they do not deserve.
80 far rs it is true il would probably be true
even if the Indians were without grounds Of
reasonable discomfort and it places the blame
of our shortcomings where no blame exists. 1t
is true that prior to the construction of the
Pacific railroads Indian revenue frauds were
enormous. Communication with the agencies
was difficult and tedious, and the opportunity
for wrongdong between contractor, agent and
trader was abundant. But that situation is
passed The railroad and the telegraph have
rendered fraud so dangerous and so easily and
quickly detectable As to make it practically true
that no frauds whatever, such Us used to dis
grace the service. have occurred within the last
twelve or fifteen years. And 50 far as this
particular tribe is concerned their agents with
in recent years have been men Of exceptional
ability and excellent character, and the present
disturbance is no more to be aScribcd TO their de-
linquencicS than to those Of a Fifth-ayc. Brown
ing Society. II is due to a long train OF circum-
stances. for many of which Congress is censur-
able. But many others are legaccs of the past,

TAMNANY and THE AQUEDUCT BOARD.

An extraordinary gift of insight is not re-
quired for the detection of a sinister purpose
behind the smooth and plausible phrases in
which Mayor Grant adv coates the abolition OF
the Aqueduct Commission. Only a slight ac-
quantance with the general policy of the Tam
many government and its specific views re-
specting the water supply is essential TO a
perfect comprehension of the influence and the
motives which inspired this particular para
graph in the Mayors message. Tammany
wants to get rid Of the Aqueduct Board for the
simple reason that the Aqueduct Board is one
of the few remaining obstacles TO Tammanys
supremacy. With the Commissioners
out of office and their powers Snugly vested in
the Department Of Public Works, one more
luscious plum would ripen forthwith and drop
into the Wigwam. That is the precise meas
ue of the Mayors SOlicitude for new admin
istration Of the vast and complicated interests
which relate to the Aqueduct and its appure-
nances, and his specous pretcnce of economy
will not deceive a single citizen who knows as
much about the local government under which
he lives "a every citizen ought to know.
1t is vexatious and even narrowing no doubt
to the Tammany magnates TO see the great
