What Made Sitting Bull Fighter.

81 heard more or less Of Sitting Bulls
history while | was at Fort Buford, said
Mr.. Nugent. "For several years he
lived at Fort Rice on the Missouri River,
and was known as blanket Indian, a
term used among Indians to designate
scorn or derision, and is sometimes ap-
piled to Indians who hang around mill
tary posts and wear red or white blankets
such as they may obtain instead Of the
buffalo robe, which is the badge Of an
Indians manhood and physical prowess.
One dav. in heat of passion, he was
struck by a soldier, for what cause it has
never been known. But with that blow
his nature changed. 1t was followed by
a long list of heroic and desperate en-
counters, led or prompted by him, which
evidently shaped the Indian policy of the
Government Of the United States, and
caused the loss Of Custer and his party.
With that blow were aroused the spirit
and passions of savage soul which upto
that time had lain dormant. Flying to
the plains of the lands of the Dakotas he
organized the forces of the whole Sioux
nation. and the dissatisfied tribes, which
up to recent date, waged wars con-
tinually against the Government with 50
much. disaster. Sitting Bull stands pre-
eminent as the brayest and most skiful
Indian general. His eloquence and logic
were none the less great than his ability
as slilful warrior His impassioned
manner could arouse his warlike braves
to impetuous courage. "-Nev York Press.

her island home. There were parrot:
and other birds, sDakes of harmless
variety, Borneo rats, and a drove ol
about 300 Java pigs, which are about the
size of the American peccary, but are
wild instead of fierce.
The woman had clothing to last her
five or six years, but the provisions she
had brought from the schooner would
not supply her needs more than a few
months. While hoping and expecting
to be taken off almost any day, she wise
ly prepared for a long stay. She had
fish and lines in her outfit, and
with fish from the sea, meat from the
woods, and bananas and wild fruits from
the groves, She had variety and plen-
ty. Six months after she landed ma
tive craft put in about mile from her
hut, but creeping through the woods she
saw that all we're Malays, and so savage
in appearance that she did not dare make
herself known. Seven months later 4
second craft sent men ashore to fill two
water casks, but she was also afraid of
these. She lived very quietly from that
time until nearly two years after her
landing, having remarkably good health
all the time, but naturally lonely and cast
down at times.
One afternoon as she was in the forest
about half mile from home, having her
shotgun with her, Borneo sailor sud
denly confronted her. Hewas entirely
alone. and whether he had been ma
rooned or cast away she never learned.
As she was dressed in a mans suit he
naturally took her for man. but his first
movement was hottie one. He advanced
upon the woman with a club in his hand
and uttering shouts of menace, and to
save her own life she was compelled to
shoot him.
Now and then, all through her stay,
trading vessels were sighted il the of
ing, with now and then a craft known to
be manned by Englishmen, but signals
made to the latter by means of smoke
were never needed. Her main hope was
that the loss of the schooner would in
some way reach her friends at Singapore
and that a searching party might be sent
out to her rescue.
One day, when she had been on the
island four years lacking about fifty days,
the British survey ship, Sahib, then en-
gagged in surveying the group, dropped
anchor off the mouth of the creek and
sent a party ashore to explore the in

After a few days we sailed for Singa-

THE NEW YORK SITUATION.

Last summer good many prominent
Republicans, in New York anticipated
defeat in the State this fall, and We're
schooling themselves to bear the loss
with some equanimity, and planning 10
do better in '92. Now there are few
candid Democrats who do not admit
that Fassetts election is sure.
What has caused the sky to brighten! :!
Two things, and only two: honest citi-
zens' hatred of Tammany and the pros
peIity of the country under the Mckin
ley bill.
The power of Tammany in the Demo
cratic party of New York was never
greater than it is to-day. Until recently
Tammany was reckoned Hill-anti-
Cleveland organization. But when the
Tammany tiger, as explained III our dis
patches yesterday, reaches out its long,
lean paw to Albany, when it says 10 the
Hill men there Let Cleveland's man
Herrick have the Judgeship," it assumes
the arrogant position of an arbiter be-
tween the warning factions, superior to
both. Cleveland and Hill alike bow be-
fore it, and it mods feline approval and
purrs in satisfaction when they shake
hands at public meeting, with In
spector Williams to keep the peace. =
Tammany is an organized appetite. 1t
is a strong, gross, coarse body with a
Uranium OF limited capacity. 1t is ques-
tionable if it appreciates the havoc it
has wrought or whether it would care
much in any case, so long as it retains
its hold on the city. But the return of
George William Curtis and Hdgper's
Weekly TO their old allegiance. the de-
fance flung TO Tammany by the NeU
Yorker Zeitpg, and the detection of
such men rs Hermann Oelrichs from the
ranks of the Democracy-these indicate
how the tide sets in the great Empire'
State.
In measure the Tammany question
is local one, but either of the leading
candidates for the Democratic nomina-
ton must bear the smirch of the tigers
patroniZing paw upon his shoulder that
makes it more than a local question
New York is the chief port of entry of
The land that makes the Tammany
question more than a local one. 1t is
the threshold of the new world to mil
lions of immigrants. That makes the
Tammany question more than local.
Good citizens everywhere, no matter of
what party, will be glad to see this
organization of toughs and criminals
again rebuked.
The prosperity Of the country under
the new tariff is a theme upon which
Republicans in Rhode Island as well as
New York are sure to congratulate
themselves and the country.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Olneyville Weavers' Protective
Association held well attended meeting
Thursday evening in X. of L. Hall, and
appointed a committee to arrange for
convention of the three weavers' organiza-
tions in the State at Wanskuck, Olney-

expected TO take steps looking to the form

State. A committee of five was appointed

One of the oldest and most active labor
organizations in the State has been the
Cigarmakers Union of Pawtucket, and
strange TO say, it has maintained an ex-
istence while no union of the craft has
been able to live in Providence. The Paw
tucket union is still prosperous, and is
represented in the Central Labor Union.
Among it's members in the past have been
some of the best known labor leaders in the
State. John III. Davis, assistant Commits
sioner of Industrial Statistics, was for
several terms president of this union.
An interesting meeting of the Central
Labor Union was held last night at 81
Westminster street and considerable rou-
tine business was done. "A discussion
arose in regard To the relations between
