THE SIOUX RESTLESS.
A Suilenness Among the Indians That
Not Reassuring-


Not Measuring.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY. S. D., Jan Is
Every thing is quiet here SO far as ap-
pearance goes but there is no denying
the fact that there is a general dissatis-
faction among the Indians, who, as q
rule, spent all their money last summer
and fail in making ghost shirts and ar
rows There has not been great deal
of danger until the recent cold weather
The Indians claim to be dancing the
Omaha" but those who have the best
opportunity of knowing say that the
dance is mixture of the Omaha and
ghost dance, retaining all the prin-
cipal features of the latter A
lot of the Indians left here last
fall to visit the place where the
Messiah made his appearance, and
have but recently returned, but all the
efforts OF interpreters have failed to
elicit any information from them con-
corning their trip. No one anticipates
any immediate trouble, but there is a
sullenness among those that partici-
pated in the host tiles last year that is
by no means reassuring. They are
jealous OF anything being said or writ
ten about their movements, and but re-
who had told some one they were buy
ing SO much white cloth FIR the pur-
pose Of making ghost shirts that it was
hard to keep it in stock. In the annui-
ties issued this year there have been no
blankets, boots or shoes. owing, 1t

An Insane Stage Robber.

STOCKTON, Cal, July 23.-Much ex-
element was caused here yesterday af.
ternoon by the robbery of the stage on
the public road mile out of town.
The robbcr was Michael Cucovich who
was released from the insane asylum a
year ago. He was armed with Win
chester rifle and compelled the driver
to stop and throw out the coin in his
pockets and to give up his gold watch.
He also compelled the two passengers
to throw out their coin. The robber
then ran across the fields but was cap
tured after desperate resistance.

IRON Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 23.-Quiet
still prevails hereabouts, though wild
unfounded rumors still float around,
while in some cases threats are still
made against those who are not vieing
with the strikers. a few more deputy
sherins, with huge glistening shields,
are wandering ncrvously up and down
the streets to-day. What with borough
officers, special watchmen of the Anal
gamated Association, coal and iron
police, Carnegie watchmcn, deputy
sherifls and militia, this is certainly the
most policed town in the world. There
are far more conscryators Of the peace
than possible law breakers. 1t was re-
ported this morning that two cars from
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern R. r. about daybrcall entered the
steel works yard and large number of
men got off. This was denied at the
company Offices, but it is certain that
there is more activity about the works
to-day and the workers say they notice
many strange faces.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 23.-The chief
danger of q physical force collision in
Homestead was generally expected to
follow on the release OF Hugh O'Don-
nell, and his return home if that should
take place. In the event of bail being
accepted for him by the court his
friends here have determined to give
him a rousing reception home, and the
authorities were equally positive that
no such demonstration should be per-
mittcd. fla welcome with process
sion should be attempted the outlook
was that serious encounter would
certainly occur. Provost marshal
Greene said the sheriff had decided to
prevent any public assembly of the
kind and clearly stated that a parade
would be stopped. The steel workers
on the other hand said the proposed
prohibition was wholly Illegal and they
would not submit.

MIR. PETER, the Farmers Alliance

MIR. PETER, the Farmers Alliance
and third party's Senator from Kansas,
made speech in the L. S. Senate yes
tertlay. in which he said: There are
but three ways to meet labor troubles :
for the government to keep lis hands
olfand lei employers and employees set
tie The matter between themselves; fer
the government to establish and regu-
late rates of wages; and that the gov
ernment take possession ofprivatc man
ufacturing establishments and conduct
them as public institutions" MIR. PEI
fer is as wise as his party, but wisdom.
If ever with either, has departed from
both. Were the first Of the Senator
remedies adopted, Homestead affairs
would occur in every manufacturing
city, town and hamlet in the country,
and though rivers of blood would be
spilled and millions worth Of property
be destroyed, the proprietors would be
successful in the end, for money, unlike
blood, will alwaystell, and the employees
be the sufferers. Were the second,
every sensible manufactures would sus-
pend operations at once, forno sane man
would allow other people to fix the COM
pcusation he should pay his employees.
Were the third, all the workmen in the
country would be in the employ of the
government, there would be no incen-
tive to private invention and enterprise,
and there would be no possible chance
for an employee to improve his condi-
ton and become an employer. Wise
workingmen will do well, for them
selves, to give Mr.. PETER and his fool
ish doctrines a wide berth.

THE COMMITTEE of the L. S. Senate
who investigated the matter-though
what business it was of theirs to do so
the Senate only knows-have reported
that though the medical society of
Washington refuses 10 admit negroes
TO membership, which is ''regretable3'
and ''deplorable", they have no recon-
mcndation to make. Well, hardly,
for with as good reason they might
just as well have reported that the re-
fusal of any other private association OF
white people in Washington to admit
negroes as social equals is ''regretable"
and ''deplorable."
