Dancing the Omaha Dance With Ghost

Ghost Shirts.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. a.
Everything is quiet here SO far as ap-
pearances go, but there is no denying
the fact that there is a general dissatis-
faction among the Indians, who, as a
rule spent all their money last summer
in making ghost spirits and arrows.
There has not been a great deal. of
danger until the recent cold weather.
The Indians claim to be dancing the
"Omaila," but those who have the best
opportunity Of knowing say that the
dance is mixture of the 'Omaha'' and
and ghost dance, retaining the 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-
cerning their trip No one anticipates
any immediate trouble. but there is
sullenness among those that partici-
pated in the hostilities last year
that is by no means reassuring. They
are Jealous OF anything Delng SAID OF
written about their movements, and
but recently threatened to boycott a
trader who had told some one they were
buying SO much white cloth for the pur-
pose of making ghost shirts that it was
hard to keep it in stock. In the annui-
ties issued there have been no blankets,
boots OF shoes, owing, it is believed, to
the blankets being condemned. But to
the Indians way of thinking it is an
other breach of faith, and now comes
the land decision of Attorney General
1 Shields, which does not suit the Sioux.
| They claim the mixed bloods as their
children. and declare that if the land is
not to belong to their children it does
not belong to them, and that the govern
ment is only letting them claim and hold
it by spfferance.
Young .Man-Afraid- of His Horses was

..Not until after am dead can they

AN ALI eyed COMBINE.
National Democratic and Alliance
). Committees Said to Have Fixed
upa Scheme
By Which They Hope to Capture Iowa,
Minnesota, the Two Dakotas, Kan
sas and Nebraska.
The Democrats to Have the Federal
Offices While the Alliance Runs
State Politics.

EST. PAUL, Jan. IA special from
Washington to The Pioneer Press says:
The national Democratic, committee
and the Farmers Alliance national com
mittee have agreed upon a programme
for the capture of six states west of the
Mississippi river Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska.
The combination which has been
agreed upon is that the Alliance is to be
given the state and legislative offices
and the Democrats are to take the cleo
torate votes and the congressman, or a
majority of them, and the fusion is be
complete. The national Democratic
committee does not care for the control
of state Offices and would as soon have
Alliance men elected to Ethese Offices as
not. What they want is Democratic
electoral votes and Democratic con-
gressmen. On the other hand, the AL
lance people are seeking to gain con.
troll of the states first, knowing full
we'll that it is YET long time before
they can hope to a have dominant pow
er in the national legislature.
The Scheme Has Developed
since the Farmers Alliance presidents
have been in session in Washington, and
many of the leaders of the national
Democratic party also being in the city,
there has been frequent opportunity fol
consultation on this subject. 1t is well
known that great many Democrats
do not like to have this scheme crowded
down their throats, and they may pro.
test, but it has gone SO far, and having
been ordered by the Democratic ma
tional committee, or to be ordered, an6
generally understood at the presen
time. there is little escape for these con
servative Democrats who do not wisl
for fusion. In Minnesota it is claimed
that the mbination has gone on to ,
considerable extent. The North Sta
Democratic club is probably alread,
committed to this fusion with the Ali
arce people. The old line Democrat
who have been in power in the party 70
some time in Minnesota do not favor th
scheme, but it looks as if they woul,
be overridden and fusion be go.
