The sentiment OF honor already
prevails In the world and by it alone
the world will be governed when the
golden age of the millennium comes
Its requirements will be the only
statutes OF the perfect society OF which
we dream. All men will do right
simply because it is right Even now
the order of society depends on the
obedience Of it. members to this
principle Without it the whole busi-
ness OF the world wodld be thrown
into confusion. 1t is the basis of the
confidence that makes possible the
dealings between men. 1hey could
not go on with any safety without a
feeling OF mutual trustfulness The
laws for the collection Of debts would
not avail for the protection OF credi-
tors II by them alone men were held
up TO their obligation to keep their
promises Oaths and bonds are not
sufficient substitutes for confidence In
the honor Of men. Society could not
hold together II there was not this
trust II the sole safeguard was in the
enforcement Of the penalties of the
law. Nobody's property could be
made secure If the only deterrent
from thievery we're fear Of legal
punishment

worst sort. He mas many times been

the saber of Gen. Custer in 1868. The
scene of Clusters terrible battle with
the Cheyennes and Kiowas in the fall
OF that year is now the site of the
town of Cheyenne, and as hundreds OF
Indians were buried there at that time
the Indians object to a town
being built on the battle ground.

Der OF their comrades the number
OF Indians killed at the time was 212.
Among the bands now making trouble
are a score or more of the survivors
OF that fight, and the spirit OF revenge
that has ranked in their breasts all
these years seems now about to break
forth. The number OF white people
in the town is small and but few are
armed, and they would fall an easy
prey to the Indians should they carry
ont their threats. White Shield was
compelled to take his allotments Oy
force and he saws he will not work
but that the white people must feed
