First, drop all quarrels of the bitter past;
Resolve your ballots shall protect your homes;
That American is only party, that YOU need
He viii sustain your rights against the power
That fast is driving workmen from their homes,
And thus inviting ruin to the nation.

la,lians Coming In.

PIERRE, Dec. 25.-Cspt. Eorvillc, a
special agent. has returned from Fort
Bennett and reports the Indian war
there over. 1t seems that tue Indians
were afraid they would be ,nassacred
or they would have come in before.
After the Indians arrived ut Fort Ben
nett, councils were held to determine
whether they would give up their arms
or not. Agent Palmer said: "No arms
no rations or blanxets.' This soon
brought them to time, and all arms
are now stacked up at the agency.
Capt. Hearst, the commanding Off
Ger at Fort Sully, has received the ca
pitulation Of ia Uncapapas, including
seventy Of Sitting Bulls band and
fifty from the Rosebud agency. Mar
cisse Narcello, the boss farmer, brought
in 4l2 Of Big Foo.'s Indians. Out Of
these ninty eight stand Of arms were
collected. Sitting Bulls men want to
remain at Cheyenne and say they are
afraid to return to Standing Rock. All
have surrendered and the best of care
is teing given them. Many o! tile
leaders among the Indians acted very
ugly in making the final settlements.

The only adequate reparation
which congress can make to west
crn South Dakota for the great and
needless damage done the region
by the Indian scare, is to establish
a strong military post upon the
Cheyenne river, at some point near
tine mouth of Spring or Battle
creek, from which troops can COM
mand the reservation and the we'll
settled valleys OF Box Elder, Rapid
Spring, Battle and French creeks,
and afford protection to the peo-
pie already there and the thousands
wb;eh the building Of railways will
bring to the region. The disarm-
ment of the Indians without this
prccaution will be of little avail, for
Winchesters and ammunition will
be prohibited among the Indians
no more efectually than intoxicat-
ing liquors among the whites. The
senators and representatives Of
South Dakota should urge the i'm
mediate location of such post

Deadwood Again Visited BY the Dc.

Tue Deadwood Times publishes the
following in an extra dated Fn-
day, Dec. 25, 1890: At l:s0 o'clock
this morning the alarm Of Gre aroused
the sleeping citizens TO learn that .
fire was raging in the First ward Of
this city. The fre department was
promptly on hand, but the hose was
OF no avail, the fire being beyond its
teach. The Gre originated in the two
story frame building owned by q. G..
Fargo, and was quickly communicated
to the adjoining building. Thsn fol-
lowed Lutz blacksmith shop and Elan.
agan's store, Bosworth's livery stable,
and finally John Beuter's large two
story store and residence buildings
were burned. Altogether the loss is
S25, 900. The FIRE was the work Of an
incendiary beyond doubt, but at the
present writing unknown. The fire
department did we'll and saved K-ller's
barn and residence.

An attempt is being made to
throw the halo of romance around
the death of old Sitting Bull, and
he is represented as having met
his fate with great heroism, only
succombing at last to fearful odds.
The cold truth of the matter is that
he was fugitive from justice, hav-
ing disobeyed the laws of the coun-
try. The police were sent to.sarrest
him, as they would any criminal,
whether he were a city tough or a
reservation tough. He resisted the
officers in the discharge of their
duty to the extent of endangering
their lives, and he was promptly
shot down, as many an ugly crimi-
nal has been before and will be
again. If there is anything: heroicin
that, then the sentimentalists of
the Fenimore Cooper type are well
come to cherish the delusion to
their hearts conrent.-Mitchell

Beet Suxar Bouuty.

. 1t is we'll known that the gener-
al government gives a bounty of
? cents a pound for beet sugar. 1t
is expected that this bounty will
induce the establishment of beet
sugar factories in every section of
the west where there is promise
that the beet can be successfully
grown; but South Dokota offers an
additional prize to the manufac-
turer as will be seen from appended
paragraph whichis taken from the
law of 1890:
"E.ery person who, or firm or
corporation which, shall manufac-
ture in the state of South Dakota
sugar, syrup or molasses from SUI
gar beets, shall be Untitled to re-
ceive from the state bounty for
such manufacture, from sugar beets
raised in this state as herein pro-
vided to-wit: For raw, granulated
or refined sugars, one cent per
pound; for syrup or molasses two
cents per gallon.

A Washington dispatch states
that Pickler will be candidate for
United States senator in case
Moody cannot win. 1t states that
Picker and Moody have reached
an understanding on this point.
Picklcr will be a candidate when
it is discovered that such action
will be necessary to elect repub-
lican senator. No one seems to
know any more about the real sit
uation the senatorial fight has reach
ed than two weeks ago. Every report
is merely conjecture. 1t is generally
believed that Moody will have a
rocky road to travel, but what the
result will be is a blank. Repub-
licans are confident however, that
a republican senator will succeed
Moody.-Pierse Capital.

Judge Burns states that the most
fiery speech which he ever heard
from an Indians lips fell from those
of the blind old chief Red Cloud,
in addressing a grand council Of
Brule and Ogalalla chiefs at Pine
Ridge on Saturday last at the cut
off camp, when speaking of the
treatment which the hostiles in the
Bad Lands accorded his peace en-
missaries. This peace commission
was composed of thirty youths, the
flower Of the Ogalalla's. They
seated themselves for council, filled
the pipe Of peace, and laid it be-
fore the hostile braves, who instant
ly drew up their rifles and fairly
pulverized the pipe. Red Cloud
declared indignantly that in all his
experience, he had never heard or
known Of such an act, and but for
his old age, and failing sight. he
would avenge the insult.
