white person at a distance or even there
The present trouble was caused, first. by the
autocrattc power Of one Incompetent indi-
vidual over a community of individuals:
secondly, by the failure Of crop, so that five
or six people were dying daily of star "a
ton. Government sent nothing 1t promised.
at least, IL sent, nothing reached them, and
the whites told them they were to be remov
ed. 1t was the same story, starve or fight
Bright Eyes writes. December 28th: "The
rumor Is that they are to take the hostiles,
VINO were not hostile mark you, and who
have not taken a single life, to Florida. II
true, it Is the most outrageous performance
yet The country ought TO ring with It."
As the soldiers express IL, they did not
know what In the world they were brought
here for In the first place. The Indians
look upon 1t as an outbreak Of the army, not
of themselves. Every battle fought brings
money TO the white settlers, and they glory
In an uprising. The low whites put S5 day
for work In their pockets instead Of 81. One
man gets 1851 day for forwarding supplies
from Rushvllle to Pine Ridge. To make
these outbreaks impossible In the future,
there Is but one course TO take. Make an In
dian amenabls to the law Of the state or ter
ritory where he resides by making him q
citizen. Treat him as a responsible individ-
ual, as has been done In Nebraska, and he
will earn his own living. educate his chill
dren, learn not to be cheated. Let him farm
or learn trade, as white man does.
Let US work as never before to help him.

SOMETHING Is WRONG.
Either Appraisers See Double or Ex-
pressmen are stealing.

NEW YORK, February 9.-That there is a
regularly organized system of stealing be-
Ing carried on by either the employees of
some of the express companies or clerks in
the custom house, is evidenced by discove-
ry made by commission investigating the
matter. 1t was found that in one instance
a consignee paid the agent Of an express
company s183. duty for an article on which
the government asked only ten or eleven
dollars. The balance was not returned to
the consignee. This case led to full exam
ination Of all classes of merchandise to see
to what extent the practice was carried, and
to ascertain If any collusion existed between
agents and government employees. How
much has been stolen the commissioners do
not yet know. Clerk Wagner was suspend
ed pending investigation, and other suspen-
sions will follow.
