To the Government.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3-The New York Free
mans Journal publishes a letter from
Father Craft, the Roman Catholic Indian
missionary who was fatally shot through
the lungs in the Indian fight at Wounded
Knee. The letter is dated Dec 20 and was
mailed from Pine Ridge Agency, 5. d.
Father Craft says that from the beginning
of treaties with the Indians they have been
disappointed, cheated. starved. deprived OF
both their own customs and those of the
whites, which they had fondly hoped to
assume with the aid of the government,
ana IN every way abused, Knocked aud dis
couraged, aud that the whole responsible
ity Tor the trouble Is chargeable to the In
dian bureau.

interested whites, says the priest, took
advantage of the Indian dissatisfaction
anu howled FOR troops, and when they
came the same persons went to the Ind
ians and persuaded them that the army
mad come TO complete their destruction.
Inc priest takes occasion to charge Com
missioner Morgan with laundering and
cruelty, and says that the death of Sitting
bull was caused-'if military reports of
the facts and my knowledge of the situa-
tion agree, as they seem toby the Indian
agent, through desire for notoriety,

confidence of the Indians necessary to

DEATH OF SIR JOHN MCDONALD
The Great Canadian Premier is No
More.

Ine Great Canadian Premier is No
More.
A Telegram from Ottawa, Ont, announces
the death of Sir John Mcdonald He was
surrounded by his entire household The
church bells tolled and the premiers demise
is deeply regretted by the populace generally.
In the passing away of Sir John Mcdonald
the tory party of Canada loses a man whom
IL cannot replace. For more than thirty
years he has been a leading politician, and
for more than half that time the head Of the
Canadian government. A man of great in
tellect aud wise craftsmanship, he has ever
been loyal to the queen i'll the sense that the
queen is the British government. The move
ment, if that rather feeble spirit can be
termed a movement for the annexation OF
Canada to the United States has met with
his earnest and unfiinching opposition, and
no effort in the direction OF Independence, as
nation, on the part of Canada has ever
been countenanced by him. His faith has
been that Canada was greater asa British
colony than it could be as an independent
nation, and through all this changeful viscis.
stndes Of political life he has been true to
that faith
1t might be said OF Sir John Mcdonald
that he was the Beaconsfield of the colonies
for he possessed many of the qualities for
which Beaconsfied was famous. He was a
statesman as well as politician. as we UNI
derstand the term politician. In England
terms.
Sir Johns death is fraught with interna-
tional Importance. He leaves no successor
and there viii be no man to fight for Canada
as we know Canada. We will hear more Of
annexation, more of commercial union, more
q Canadian independence. Out q these con
fiicting theories something definite will ulti-
mate.y come Init what thai Something shall

For the capacity of our killing machine

But now, joking aside earnestly ask
You men who wear custom-made clothes,
To come in and view the perfection which
The ready-made constantly grows.
