WASHINGTON, D. Chr. Ingalls, took the
door, and said there we're portentous evils
which menaced the safety, if they did not
endanger the existence of the republic.
oThe first was an ignorant and debasea, de-
graded, spurious suffrage contain
mated BY the sewage of decayed nations;
suffrage intimidated and suppressed in the
south; suffrage impure and corrupt, apathetic
and Indifferent in the great cities in the
north; SO that it was doubtful to his mind
whether for half century there had been q
presidential election in this country that eI-
pressed the deliberate intelligence of the
American people.
He then referred to the newspaper inter-
view had with him several months ago, in
which he said that 1.-The golden rule and the
decalogue had no place in an American CAM
paign." 1t seemed supertiuous to explain
that in that utterance he was not inculcatlng
q doctrine but describing a condition.
His statement was statement Of fact; not
an announcement of faith. But many emil
nent and reverend divines, many disinter-
ested editors, many ingenious orators, per-
yerted this utterance into a personal advo-
cacy of impurity IN politics. He did not
mate political warfare. But it was an Illus
tration of the truth that the golden rule and
the decalogue ought to have place IN the
political campaigns.
Referring to the late election, he said that
it was neither a republican nor democratic
victory-it was grand uprising, independ-
ent of and superior to both political parties.
1t was crisis that might become catas-
trophe. II was a peaceful revolution.
He attributed the depression in the country
in great measure to tine demonstration act OF
1873. He did not claim that that act had been
passed fraudulently. His only explanation
Of its passage was, that both houses of con-
gress and the president had been hypnotized
by the money power. He had not the slight
est doubt great majority of the people,
irrespective of party, were in favor of the
free coinage of silver, and had been for the
past fifteen years.
1t was for that reason that he should cor
daily support the amendment of the senator
from Nevada for free coinage of silver. In
doing so he would not only follow the die
tates of his own Judgment, but would carry
out the wishes of the great majority of his
constituents, irrespective of party or political
utilization.

To Omen the Strfp.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., January 19.-In the
house Mr.. Mansur, of Missouri, has intro
duced for reference bill to throw open the
Cherokee strip. Mr.. Mansur said, in e.
PLANTATION of the bill. that the Cherokee COM
mission were hopeless of coming to an agree
ment with the Cherokees, and therefore the
measure was introduced. 1t had the practi-
cal Endorsement and sanction of the admin
istration. The bill was framed on the prop
osltions contained in the act charging the
commission winch was authorized to offer
S1.25 an acre for the land.
The bill recites the law by which the gov
eminent has right to take the land and pay
the Indians A. 49- 100 cents an acre, hut 1t
valves the right and agrees to pay Sl.25. Of
the amount paid 100000 is to remain IN
trust, drawing interest at d per cent, and
50, 100000 is to be distributed among the
Cherokees entitled thereto under treaty slip
ulations. This would give the Indians SlOs
Der CAPITA.

Tie Plague in Siberia,

ST. PEIERsBURG, January IA dispatch
from Tobosk says that the terrible scourge
known as "Black death" has reached the city
of Tobolsk, the capital of ives. Siberia. The
whole of Asiatic Russia, from Sanark to the
mouth of the Obi. is suffering from the
scourge. Thousands are dying at Obdorsk,
near the mouth of the Obi. owing to the lack
of physicians. 1t seems almost hopeless to
try to check the speed of the fearful disease.

the changed political conditions, as this
would give the alliance member at once,
by election in the house. Mr.. Douglass has
given much thought to this matter and the
subject matter of the bill is carefully pre-
pared.

Confusion at Pine Ridge.

PINE RIDGE, January 15.-The Indians are
in camp within full view of the north forti-
fcations, the right of their column rests
there and the line extends northeast, run
nlng up gulch behind the bluffs.
On the plain are tepeeS by the hundred,
pitched irregularly, huddled together in
groups here and scattered widely apart there,
moving about among the tepees, a field glass
shows the bucks and squaws with their chill
dren and dogs.
Just between the plain and agency, perched
on hull behind earthworks, is three inch
rifle gun trained on the camp. 1t seems to
stare grImly down on the village of the half
craZed barbarianS, and to warn them of the
awful terror that Will follow one rash act.
Their camp Is more than three miles long
and there are 200 Indians IN 1t, $500 oN
whom are warriors. BY the southeast trail
they have been communicating with the
friendlies and the horsemen have been riding
continually between the two camps.
The friendies had a council and decided
that they wanted none of the hostiles in their
camp. They have Dug rifle pits. and say if
even solitary warrior comes among them
and causes any trouble they will arrest him,
and if he resists they Will kill him.
Between 400 and 800 Indians broke away
from the hostIles and have started for the
Bad Lands via Wounded Knee. They are
crazy and frantic, committing depredations
wherever they go. General Carr with the
Sixth cavalry and one company of infantry
and Colonel Wheaton with four companies
of infantry are after them.
