Erroneous Declaration of n Medicine Man
at Wounded Knee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Secrstaries Proctor
and Noble and Gen. schofield had a con-
ference at the war department this after
loo in regard to the Indian troubles, and
agreed to recommend to the president the
appointment of an officer of the army as
agent of the Indians at Pine Ridge agency,
thus necessitating the retirement of Indian
Agent Roger from that duty. The officer
so appointed will, however, retain his posi-
ton in the army. The Indian agents at
other agencies will not be disturbed, but as
shown in Gen. Schofeld's telegram of the
9Th instant to Gen. Miles, army officers
have been designated to take military con-
troll of four other agencies. with instruc-
lions to cooperate with agents of the in
terror department. The report that these
agents had been displeased is without foun-
dation, except SO far as relates to me Pine
Ridge agency; Capt. Pierce, of the First
infantry. has been selected as agent at Pin
Ridge and will probably be appointed by
the president tomorrow. A message EN-
balylng the facts given above has been sent
by Gen. Schofield to Gen. Miles.
oecretary Proctor IS considerably eXeF-
cIsed over newspaper reports of a contro-
1essy between the war and interior depart
ments in regard TO the management of the
Indian campaign. He said this afternoon
that the two departments were in perfect
harmony III the matter and authorizes the
most emphatic denial of any report indi-
eating the slightest friction between the
two departments.
The commissioner of Indian affairs has
received a long report from the agent Mt
Pine Ridge about the Wounded Knee fight.
according to which the fight was started by
the medicine man OF Big Foot's band.
When soldiers were searching the tepees
for arms. he suddenly began to cry out.
Kill the soldiers; their bullets won't have
any effect on our ghost spirits" At the
same time he threw up a handful of dirt
into the air. After a short programme he
fred his gun in the direction Of the mill
tary and this started the fight.

in the center of which said
court house should be erected, thus
making tie building and records more So
cure from confiagration. We would re-
spectfully recommend that this question be
referred to a vote of the people ut the next
general election.
We would return our sincere thanks to
the court and all its officers, for the courte-
Gus attention received from their hands
during our session. All of which is
respectfully submitted.
CHAs. r. GLIDDEN. Foreman.
The matter of building a court house was
submitted to a vote of the people about a
year 49,, and the proposition was over
whelmingly defeated. 1t is not generally
considered, however. that a fair expression
on the question was had. as at that time
it is said the commissioners had
been doing a little fnancerini
on the quiet. which did not meet the ap.
proval of the people, and the vote was q
condemnation of their method of purchas-
ing a court house site. The land was pur.
chased secretly and the money paid long
before the county received n deed. Should
another election be ordered, without much
doubt the court house proposition would
carry.

a number of Indians are coming to the

dispatch tins general situation mac not

The Bow Soldiers.

We give more than q column in this issue
to communications on the subject of 80 the
boy soldiers of the Confederacy."
These articles have been read by the gen.
eral public with great interest. We have
numerous proofs of this fact.
Many of those of whom our correspond
ents have written are worthy of place in
history, and it is some satisfaction to know
that If it is not accorded them their SER
vices will at least be made known to thou
sands and thousands of people through
the columns of the DISPATCH.
We suggest TO writers always to state
whether the persons whose claims they
essay to set forth as among the youngest
Confederate soldiers served in the ranks
of the fighting men or as drummers.
We have already shown that to be drum
mer in those stormy times required much
courage and determination, but for many
reasons it is right and proper to draw the
distinction. Military men always do this.

What the Northern People Gained

The DISPATCH is a loyal paper-as Loyal to
the Union as anypaper in the country-yet
we cannot help saying, what we know to be
true, that every taunt in the following in
dictment of the northern politicians who
brought on and kept up for four years the
war between the States could be proved in
court of justice. The indictment was
drawn up by General BRADLEY I. JOHNSON.
We quote il.
"They have succeeded, having oyerthrown
constitution with limitations and guarantees,
ami instituted one Of absolute power, controlled
ostensibly by popular will, but IN fact directed
by a hetrtless plutocracy for its own benefit
They haze fixed the precedent that all property
depends on force and not on justice and right,
for they have destroyed Eve thousand millions
OF dollars worth OF property on the pretence
that II was injurious TO permit it TO exist. They
have fixed the precedent that the Constitution
of 1857 can be altered by force, for they COM
PEELED its amendment by the bayonet. They
have settled the precedent that the decisions of
the Supreme Court must register their DEGREES
ana be reversed on their demand, for they COM
PEELED the court % reverse their legal tender de-
clsion, and they packed that court 80 as make it
conform to is wishes"

How MANY Farmers e?

Few people know the number of men
working farms and plantations for them
selves in this country. The "yeomanry "
are the farm-laborers az well as the farm
ers. In 1880 there were engaged in agri-
culture 1870 93 persons, but of these only
4.225, 94j were set down as farmers and
planters, and these four millions included
persons renting farms and plantations.
There were engaged IN all occupations IN
1850 only II 1872 O99 persons over ten years
old. OF these 1870 1913 were engaged in
agriculture, 4,O74,235 in professional and
personal services. l.slO,2jG in trades and
transportation, 1881, III in manufacturing,
mechanical trades, and mining. The fig
ures for 1890 will probably show that all
other occupations are drawing men from
the farms However, the few statistics
given above are worthy Of study. They
show the strength Of the farming class
especially if we include the laborers on
farms.

Amid Grouse IN the Ciun-Room,


The scholarly author of the following
communication belongs TO that class OF
the community whom we had expected TO
be reached and moved by the interroga-
tory which has attracted his attention. II
is natural for everybody who thinks of the
matter seriously to conclude that GOLD
SMITH simply meant to hit in passing the
garrulous old gentleman who had one story
for all occasions, but as this is simply guess,
we considered it entirely proper to pub
lish our correspondents letter on the sub
ject. Professor HIATT writes as follows:
BOWLING GREEN, Va, June 10, 1891.
To the Editor orths Dispateh:
Dear Sir,--Thsre Is not the slightest probablll.
~ that the story OF "Oid Grouse In the Gun.
Room ever had an existence az all except In

The fact that some one has mentioned that the

shows nothing, since many good copies omit
them. Notably tho best American edition, The
British Drama, Philadelphia, 1856; Cumber.
lands British Theatre, second edition, London

that the first edition Of Cumberland's "Thea.

Gold.

II is amusing to read the articles which
now daily appear in the monometallist
organs explaining away the fact that the
United States has sent sixty millions OF
dollars Of gold to Europe recently without
causing anything like panic in our money
market. and without causing silver to de-
cline in price or to be held in disfavor. In
1878 it was q common prediction Of the
ometallists-common in two senses
that the supply of gold in this country
would take fight to foreign lands as soon
as the silver bill was passed, and that the
lapse of few months would witness the
dropping of our financial system to silver
basis. Twelve years and more have passed
and still these predictions are unfulfilled.
Not only so, but monometallists are boast
ing of our financial system. Read what
the Messrs. HA'BLEToN q Co. say in their
last circular. We quote:
1.-THE fact remains that we have scnt 500, 0OO,-
600 gold abroad without disturbing our none
tary system, feat which must convince Euro
pean nations Of the soundness Of our institutions
and the greatness Of our resources. No other
country on the face OF the globe could have stood
such a drain without experiencing most dis
astrous effects; and II is not surprising that
Europe should wonder at the composure OF our
money market under such disturbing in
fiuences."
No country on the face Of the globe ex.
cept bimetallc America could have stood
such a drain without experiencing the
most disastrous results! Well,
"Time at last makes all things even."
